2. In March 2009, the Jing 'an Economic Investigation Detachment of Shanghai filed a case against Guangdong Green Century Health Products Chain Store Co., Ltd. for the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits, and arrested two suspects, the general manager and the accountant of the branch. Now it has entered the prosecution stage. After investigation, since 65438+February 2007, the suspects Wang Zhequn and Tian Yu have instructed more than 20 salesmen of the branch to recruit middle-aged and elderly people to the branch for training, instilling the concept of low profit and risk-free investment, and in the name of investing in the franchise store, they promised to pay a high interest of about 1.8% every month as bait, and with more than 70 social workers1. Except for some funds used to pay the daily office expenses, staff salaries, bonuses and commissions of Green Century Shanghai Branch, the rest funds were remitted to Guangdong Green Century Health Products Chain Management Co., Ltd., from which Wang and Tian made illegal profits of more than 950,000 yuan. The case is similar to that of Guangdong Green Century Health Products Chain Store Co., Ltd. in Jiangyin, Wuxi and Yixing branches of our city.
3. At the beginning of April, 2008, the Economic Investigation Detachment found that Wuxi Branch, located in Guangdong Green Century, had absorbed a large amount of franchise fees from unspecified groups, which was suspected of illegally absorbing public deposits. Through unannounced visits, I learned that the company is legally engaged in business, but most of the partners the company is looking for are elderly people over 50 who have no business ability. The so-called commercial operation is actually that customers pay money to the company and get kickbacks from the company on a regular basis. Customers don't understand the company's operating conditions and actually don't participate in management. For example, Chen (female, 57 years old), who lives in Room 60 1 No.22, Xucheng, Wuxi, invested RMB 50,000 in June 2007 (the company only issued a receipt of "I received RMB 50,000 from Chen-paid in a franchise store in Wuxi, Jiangsu" after receiving the payment), but she did not participate in the operation and management during this period, and now she gets kickbacks for three times. The company is encouraging it to continue to increase its investment. Chen thinks this is profitable and is prepared to continue to increase investment. According to Chen, two or three thousand people have invested in Wuxi. After a series of secret investigations, we still haven't found out basic deposit account, the total amount of funds and the number of people involved in the group.
