From the above survey, the sale of black tea conforms to the characteristics of pyramid schemes in the following three aspects:
1, a profit model based on head development. Normal companies should take sales performance as the main model, while black tea takes members as the profit model. Whether you can sell tea or not, as long as you can get people in, you can make a profit. In view of the so-called "black plate" and "red plate" of black tea, especially the behavior that participants have to pay 3,900 yuan to buy a set of black tea in order to obtain the qualification to join and develop other tea merchants, it violates the provisions of Article 7 of the MLM Prohibition Ordinance and is suspected of pyramid schemes.
2. Actively develop the relationship between the upper and lower lines. The purpose of black tea sales is to develop offline. The continuous growth of offline and the continuous expansion of the number of people are the reward conditions, and high profit returns are the bait for participants.
3. The promotion method is very special. Normal companies, when recommending products to customers, take product sales as the main purpose. When black tea is recommended to customers, they don't care how much black tea customers want to buy. What they care about is whether you can become a "tea merchant" The performance of people who become tea merchants is also how many offline tea merchants they have developed, not how many teas they have sold. This is the most typical pyramid scheme.
