A 20 17 judgment of Judgment Document Network shows that the "Wang Gai" fund and original shares are deceptive without state supervision and filing, and they get high returns by developing offline.
The core members of Zhongtian Sheng Xiang basically overlap with Wang Gai and Yi Jian Ge, with similar publicity routines and business models.
After three cycles, he swept away popular words such as O2O, internet plus, * * * enjoying economy and blockchain technology.
The stereo roared, the crowd was crowded, and the cry of "dream" flew over the tightly held arm.
20 19 April19, the "Zhongtian Sheng Xiang" project promotion meeting was in full swing in the conference room on the eighth floor of Xilemen Hotel in Zoucheng City, Jining City, Shandong Province.
"There are a lot of things falling from the sky, depending on whether anyone has come out." Gao Jie chattered away, repeating the sweet words she heard at the meeting. "When people ask if there is such a good thing, there is such a good thing." On the way back, her face was blurred and her mood could not be calmed for a long time.
Gao Jie told Southern Weekend reporter that you only need to invest 50,000 yuan to buy a QR code called "Zhongtian Code" to become a group partner, enjoy the share of performance for life, and receive 20,000 blockchain "Zhongtian points". The value-added potential is unlimited, and it is easy to get hundreds or even tens of thousands of times of income. "Bitcoin has risen hundreds of thousands of times. How powerful do you think?"
Zhongtian Sheng Xiang, whose full name is Zhongtian Sheng Xiang Technology Co., Ltd., was registered in Beijing on August 20 18, and its legal representative is Kou Nannan. 2065438+At the beginning of 2009, the QR code and blockchain products named Zhongtian Sheng Xiang spread rapidly in Guangdong, Lu Yu. This company, which was established less than one year ago, promised to rely on the Internet revolution to realize huge wealth appreciation in a short time.
Three years ago, Coonan was a shareholder of Wang Gai Company. Wang Gai was suspected of pyramid selling, and sold the original shares in the form of "weekly rebate", investing 654.38+million yuan in the fund, claiming that he could get a return of 200,000 yuan within two years (see "I work on the Internet, I want to go public" reported in Southern Weekend on May 9, 2065.438+06 for details).
Shortly after the report was published, Wang Gai's business organizations in many parts of the country were investigated for alleged pyramid schemes. Since then, there have been media reports one after another that Wang Gai's original team continued their activities in the name of "Brother Jian Yi".
Southern Weekend reporters found that the core members of Zhongtian Sheng Xiang basically overlap with Wang Gai and Yi Jiange, with similar publicity routines and business models.
In that year's report, the products they had vigorously promoted had disappeared, but under the cover of frequently changed vests, all kinds of brand-new concepts were constantly packaged. After three cycles, he swept away popular words such as O2O, internet plus, * * * enjoying economy and blockchain technology.
The promotion meeting of April 20 19 19 has a mature and complete template. Zoucheng's Zhongtian Sheng Xiang business backbone appeared in turn, introducing the company's strong strength and the revolutionary innovation of Zhongtian Code in turn. Later, pioneers who made a fortune also appeared.
The dazzling industrial layout was made into PPT and moved to the big screen. The complicated joining mode needs professionals to explain it on the blackboard with pens.
"Because I voted for Ma Yun, Ali's front desk became a billionaire." The process went on to explain the business model, and the music came to an abrupt end. Teacher Li, the keynote speaker at the scene, solemnly reminded him word by word, "If you miss Ma Yun, don't miss today's opportunity."
She explained that she invested 50,000 yuan, allocated a Zhongtian code, negotiated with offline merchants, or the company pushed the team to help the landing, laid a QR code in the physical store, and deducted the income generated by the code scanning transaction. This part of the deduction can be regarded as profit, of which 30% belongs to the investor.
This applies to what they call the concept of "enjoying the economy". This software claims to provide online payment function, post Zhongtian code merchants, and settle in Zhongtian community on Zhongtian "Fenrun Software". Consumers can enjoy a 15% discount when placing orders through Zhongtian Community. If new users are recommended to download this application, 30% of the profits spent elsewhere will go to the promotion store. At this point, investors and shops pump water in different ways, which is the so-called "* * * sit back and enjoy the success".
In the process of deduction, the hematopoietic function of the project seems inexhaustible. Teacher Li made a chart of the profit method and explained it in detail. For example, she said that under normal circumstances, it is agreed that 5%-20% of the flow of physical stores will be used as a deduction point. According to the average daily sales 1 10,000 yuan, the profit for 360 days a year is 6.5438+0.8 million yuan, and investors can extract 30% of it every year, that is, more than 50,000 yuan. Mr. Li is in his forties. He is the management of Zoucheng team, with a straight suit and meticulous hairstyle.
This is only a year's investment, and Zhongtian Sheng Xiang promises that one yard corresponds to one store and enjoys the profit sharing for life. But in the eyes of investor Li Canwei, these "small profits" can only be regarded as appetizers, and the real big fish is still behind. He claimed to be a retired employee of a public institution, and his family savings were insufficient. He scraped together 50,000 yuan and bought a yard.
For each code purchased, 50,000 yuan equivalent art gold and 20,000 copies of blockchain "Zhongtian points" will be presented.
"Bitcoin originated in 0.3 yuan, with the highest point of 1.5 million USD. If you remove a zero, it will be tens of thousands of times. " Speaking of virtual currency, Li Canwei took out a small notebook and took notes carefully. He told the Southern Weekend reporter that Zhongtian Integral is a blockchain 4.0 technology, with a fixed total issuance and gold anchor value, which is more valuable than Bitcoin.
Xiaoguo from Suzhou, Anhui Province watched his father spend millions of dollars, but he couldn't stop him. Xiaoguo's father participated earlier, which is different from Zoucheng's model. He recharged Zhongtian's "points card" by 50,000 yuan and gave a red envelope of 50,000 yuan. The points on the card can be spent, and the red envelope will be returned in three years.
"Family relations can be tense." Xiaoguo told the reporter of Southern Weekend that since he fell in love with the project of making a fortune, his father became mysterious, kept meeting and went to other places to exchange and study, as if he were doing a major event that changed the world. "Listing can turn 65.438+0 million into 1 100 million, which is ridiculous."
After hearing the explanation of Xilemen Hotel, Gao Jie packed his bags and prepared to go abroad for a meeting. In the "family" group of Zhongtian Sheng Xiang, the news of the "Singapore Global Blockchain Investment Summit" on April 24th was full. Gao Jie and several partners will come to the site to "learn the most advanced experience".
Gao Jie used to do tea business, because she thought she had found a good business once and for all and devoted herself to new projects.
In Gao Jie's eyes, the promotion meeting held in Jining almost every week is just a small scene. She went to a thousand people's congress in other places, and the red flag fluttered and the applause thundered. The scene is unforgettable. In the promotional materials of Zhongtian Sheng Xiang, many meetings were held only in the field of sports. In addition, the host city Spring Festival Gala and military-civilian parties are also common.
The key message of the meeting is to show the strength of the company. At large gatherings, the company boss will stand in the center of the stage and announce the newly signed projects in public. Daily small meetings, business licenses, and pictures on tall buildings are repeatedly played with slides. "This is all true. If you don't believe it, you can check it online. " Sister Gao believes everything displayed at the meeting.
In the promotion of Zhongtian Sheng Xiang, Zhongtian Code is its core business model. The profit generated by code scanning consumption is the main profit source of Zhongtian community and investors. According to their estimation, this two-dimensional code with a price of 50,000 yuan can generate at least 50,000 yuan of income after landing for one year.
According to the list of merchants displayed on the Zhongtian Community page, Southern Weekend reporters visited and investigated the operation status of Zhongtian Code of more than ten landing merchants in Chaoyang District, Dongcheng District and Xicheng District of Beijing, Tianhe District and Yuexiu District of Guangzhou.
Among the five merchants in Beijing, none of the hotels with the address bar of Pipeline 1 exists, while the front desk of a Yunnan restaurant in Dongsi North Street, a hot pot restaurant in Dongzhimen Street and a hotel in Dashilan West Street said that they had never heard of Chaorun Software, Zhongtian Community and Yi Jiange, and online payment only supported WeChat or Alipay.
Only a gym in Guangming Middle Street, Longtan Street, Dongcheng District has erected a sign of Zhongtian yard, but no guests have ever used it. "You are the first to ask."
A barber shop in Siyou Second Road, Guangzhou has closed down, and Zhongtian Community APP is still showing business. A weight loss center on Dongxing South Road said that no one had ever used the QR code of Zhongtian Community or Ge to pay, "I have never seen anyone use it". In a hotel on Tianhe South Second Road and an educational institution in Poly Building, the staff have never heard of this software.
In the above-mentioned weight loss center, the payment page will appear after scanning the code, but you can't choose the step of "please choose a payment method" or click Finish to realize payment.
"Originally, we posted a QR code here, because like Alipay and WeChat, guests always make mistakes, which hinders us from tearing it off." The cashier of a tea restaurant in Huapu Square told Southern Weekend reporter.
In addition to cooperative business, Zhongtian Sheng Xiang announced that the income of the direct selling department is also very considerable. According to the self-operated interface of the main menu of Fenrun Software, they are self-operated e-commerce brands under Zhongtian Community. When buying goods through a self-operated store, you can choose the corresponding voucher at the time of settlement, and you can deduct the corresponding amount. However, only four products can be found in the whole self-operated area, and it is impossible to pay online.
Article 3 of the Measures for the Administration of Payment Services of Non-financial Institutions issued by the Central Bank stipulates that no non-financial institution or individual may engage in payment business or in disguised form without the approval of the People's Bank of China.
Southern Weekend reporter inquired about the list of enterprises that have obtained payment business licenses on the website of the central bank, but did not find the names of Zhongtian Sheng Xiang, Wang Gai and Jianyi.
Zhongtian Sheng Xiang's direct business sectors also include "Mr. Gai" and "Gaixiang Pharmacy". According to industrial and commercial data, the full names of these two companies are Guangdong Gaixiansheng Technology Development Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Gaixiang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and Kou Nannan and Zheng Yongxiong are the legal representatives or shareholders of these two companies.
The reporter of Southern Weekend visited the site and found that the address of Guangzhou branch of Gaixiang Pharmacy in Taiyeng Building, Siyouyilu Road, was just a station of another unrelated company. Mr. Gai's office in Fuli Yinglong Plaza, No.76 Huangpu Avenue West, is actually a professional organization providing company registration and virtual office rental.
At every promotion meeting of Zhongtian Sheng Xiang, the speaker will focus on the company's strong strength, revolutionary innovation model and extensive industrial layout. (Southern Weekend reporter Li Zailei/map)
At the promotion meeting, Mr. Li of Zoucheng announced that anyone who buys 50,000 yuan of Zhongtian Yard can become a partner of Zhongtian. She also showed the unique ownership structure of the head office on the big screen. Among them, the partner accounts for 35% of the company's shares, Guangzhou Yougao Liquor Marketing Management Co., Ltd., which is responsible for technology development and management, holds 35%, and the resource parties China Economic News Network and Kaiyuan International Financial Holdings Co., Ltd. hold the remaining 30%.
In their publicity, China Economic News Network and Kaiyuan International Financial Holdings Co., Ltd. are Chinese-funded central enterprises with strong strength, which can help Zhongtian Sheng Xiang expand and upgrade its business.
In fact, the shareholding structure of Zhongtian Sheng Xiang is very simple. According to the industrial and commercial data, Zhongtian Sheng Xiang Company has only two natural persons, namely Kounan, who holds 70% of the shares, and Chen Daorui, who holds 30% of the shares, and has no background in central enterprises. The company is located in Building 2, No.9 Jianguomen Inner Street, which is the office on the top floor of a hotel.
In PPT publicity, Zhongtian Sheng Xiang's business line is divided into six sections: agriculture, health, natural resources, cultural creation and Internet. The Gaixiang Pharmacy mentioned above belongs to the health department, and Mr. Gai belongs to the agricultural department.
In the field of agriculture, there is also an important enterprise called Suzhou Selenium Valley. Suzhou Selenium Valley Technology Co., Ltd. has many shareholders, but Zhongtian Sheng Xiang, Kounan and Zheng Yongxiong did not appear in the list of shareholders.
In addition, the Internet shows the largest number of industries, including "Three-Eye Frog", "A Healthy Product" and "Xiong Xiong Auto" in addition to Zhongtian community and individual outdoor.
Three-Eye Frog is a conference software, in which Zhongtian Sheng Xiang introduced many conference contents. The developer of Three-Eyed Frog is Wuxi Han Yong Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Han Yong Technology"), a company listed on the New Third Board. According to industrial and commercial data, there is no equity relationship between Han Yong Science and Technology and Zhongtian Sheng Xiang.
"This is just cooperation. We are an independent company, not their subsidiary. We just have some consultation and conference systems. " Han Yong Science and Technology replied to Southern Weekend reporter by phone.
Zheng Yongxiong also publicized the project "A Healthy Excellent Product". One-click Premium is a shopping software, which introduces two major activity areas: group snap-up and limited snap-up to share preferential benefits with consumers. In fact, this app is hard to find, and it can't be found in Apple Store or Android Store, let alone downloaded and installed.
Xiongxiongche belongs to Guangdong Xiongxiongche Science and Technology Information Co., Ltd., which is a platform combining online and offline to provide self-service for car owners. Inquiring about industrial and commercial information, I didn't find the names of Zhongtian Sheng Xiang or Kounan and Zheng Yongxiong in the list of shareholders.
The company's address is located at floor 1 1, Xinghui International Building, No.8 Jinsui Road, Guangzhou. Similar to Mr. Gai's situation, this place is also a specialized institution that provides company registration and virtual office rental.
In the field of cultural creation, Zhongtian Sheng Xiang claims to own two listed companies, Gate Vendorstures and IPDN. A report published by FT Chinese website entitled "The Mystery of the Soaring Stock Price of Cash Shell Companies" pointed out that Gate Ventures is only a shell company that raised 3 million pounds in the rights issue and has no real business.
Before the FT Chinese website published this report, Gate Ventures had been delisted, and only relevant information could be found on BRITDAQ's website. The London Stock Exchange Group replied to the China media that Gate Ventures had already been delisted, and the Bidak market was not a public securities trading center and had nothing to do with the London Stock Exchange.
20 16 After the release of the investigation report on the cover Internet in Southern Weekend, a number of cover Internet operators were investigated for alleged pyramid schemes. A number of media follow-up reports said that the development of the overlay network was "suspected of pyramid schemes".
A 20 17 judgment of the Judgment Document Network shows that the "Wang Gai" fund and the original shares have no state supervision and filing, which is deceptive and gains high profits by developing offline. Among them, Kou Mou Nan and Zheng Mou received money.
This is not the first generation "vest". According to the People's Court Daily, as early as 20 15, Guangdong Handheld Internet Technology Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Handheld Products") publicized investment projects and developed offline investment members by holding investor meetings, and promised to return 2.6 to 2.8 times interest with principal and interest within two years, illegally absorbing huge public funds. Therefore, Li Shaozeng and Zou Fei, the heads of Palm Fun products, were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.
According to industrial and commercial data, Li Shaozeng is also a shareholder of Beijing Gaiwangxun Media Technology Co., Ltd., and the legal representative of the company is Zheng Yongxiong. In Zhongtian Sheng Xiang's propaganda system, Zheng Yongxiong is the chief designer of the business model and the soul of the company in its early days.
Today, Conan, who lives in the official propaganda "C", joined the company later than Zheng Yongxiong. "Try it if you have the chance." At a sharing meeting, Kounan said that he retired in the second half of 20 13 and became interested in the Internet under the recommendation of "Teacher Zheng". He wanted to do something new, and then he chose to join Wang Gai.
By the time Weinan reviewed the entrepreneurial process at the sharing meeting, the huge LOGO on the background wall had become a "healthy brother". During this period, those fund projects covering the network were no longer mentioned, and the community O2O platform "Yi Jiange" became a fist product.
The developer of Yijiange is Guangzhou Yongzhi Information Technology Co., Ltd., and Kou Nannan is the director of the company. Zheng Yongxiong was originally the legal representative of the company, and the legal representative was changed to Zhang Zhixiong on June 65438+ in 2007.
The company claims that Yijiange software is a combination of offline entities and online platforms. Stores provide online traffic, and the platform interacts with customers to promote offline consumption and "form a complete O2O closed loop". At this time, "O2O" replaced "internet plus".
A Henan native told Southern Weekend that his father had recharged Ge's "consumption card" with 50,000 yuan. Chanting all day, Brother Jane is a patriotic enterprise and a leader in the Internet industry. The consumer card promises a rebate of 160 weeks, and finally you can get 654.38+10,000 yuan. However, only a few months after the money was invested, the rebate was interrupted. At first, it was interpreted as a system upgrade, and later it was converted into the original stock "What blockchain is it now?"
Finally, from the "reincarnation" of the cover network to the "blockchain" stage of Zhongtian Sheng Xiang, the rate of return of two or ten times can no longer arouse people's appetite, and the new story of Zhongtian Sheng Xiang has become "investing 50,000 to become a billionaire".
