Chapter 267: Successfully finding a pyramid scheme organisation

Sure enough, the other party did not suspect anything.

'Today everyone calls you Tian Laosi, and a month from now, they will definitely call you Tian Zong! Those who once looked down on you will all look at you with envy! Why? Because you have joined our Chenguang shoe polish! Remember that we are not buying shoe polish, but a dream!'

The person on the other end of the phone was speaking with righteous indignation, his anger overwhelming.

Gu Chen listened with disdain, rolling his eyes.

Dream your mother's ghost!

It was clearly a meeting of con artists, but they had to pretend to be about dreams, which was an insult to dreams.

He smiled hypocritically, 'Really? That's great. May I ask where your company is?'

When he heard the question about the company address, the person on the other side hesitated for a moment.

'It's like this, because the company has a lot of people, you need to pay a certain deposit to enter the company. Seeing that your mobile phone number is from another province, we have special benefits for staff from other provinces.'

'For only 5,000 yuan, you can be a manager and get a batch of shoe polish. Our shoe polish is made with special black technology, and it can make old shoes look like new ones. One tube is only 5 yuan.'

Gu Chen laughed.

'How long will I be able to sell this much shoe polish? Aren't you trying to trick me into selling shoe polish? Besides, a tube is only five yuan, but a tube at the market only costs fifty cents, which is ten times the price!'

This is not just treating someone like a fool.

This is treating someone like an idiot!

A fool is at most not smart, but this is so dumb that it's definitely an indication of mental retardation!

'Listen to me, brother, the way we make money is not actually through shoe polish. We want you to recruit people. If you recruit someone, the company will give you 200 yuan back. Everyone you recruit will be your downline, and you will get a commission of 1 yuan for every tube of shoe polish they sell.'

'Think about it. If you recruit five people today, won't that be 1,000 yuan? And you will get a commission for the shoe polish they sell. Isn't this model attractive enough?'

'As long as you have the strength, the more people you recruit, the more money you can make. At that time, you will also go from being a manager to a deputy general manager. At that time, you will become our partner, and the company will give you shares.'

The person across from him talked eloquently.

Gu Chen sat on the sofa in the Internet cafe, his eyes lit up, and suddenly he had a sudden realization.

To be honest, he now understood why so many people had been deceived.

Recruit one person and that's 200 yuan.

In Huang County, a small county, the average salary is only 200 to 300 yuan a month.

If you recruit two people, you make 400 yuan a month, and if you recruit five people, you make over 1,000 yuan a month.

What is that?

That's more than three times the average salary.

No wonder Gu Zhigang was tempted, and he managed to recruit so many people.

It can only be said that money is king!

Gu Chen continued, 'But I don't have 5,000 yuan either, and what level do I have to reach to come to the company? After all, I can't see the place, and I don't feel at ease in my heart. This is all my hard-earned money.'

Although he didn't lack money, he also knew that even if he gave the other party a million yuan, he could get it back.

But since it was an act, he had to perform the whole set.

They were cheating the money of the poor. Who among the poor could afford to pay 5,000 yuan?

Even if they can afford it, they would have to have exhausted their savings, and they would have to be very careful.

If they really agreed to it right away, then they are most likely not poor.

He said this only because he was afraid that the other person would think there was something wrong with him.

He was just trying to establish a persona.

Sure enough, after hearing Gu Chen's words, the person on the other side immediately began the next routine.

He pretended to hesitate and said, 'Since you can't pay 5,000 yuan, you'll have to start as an employee. How about this: you pay 3,000 yuan first, and with 3,000 yuan you can be a small department manager. That way, you can get goods at a discount and have priority.'

'No, 3,000 yuan is still a lot. I really don't have that much money,' said Gu Chen, who was an expert at bargaining.

He admired himself when it came to bargaining.

'Then 2,000. 2,000 yuan. I'm only giving you this discount because I can see you really want to earn money. 2,000 yuan. 2,000 yuan will make you department manager, which is a perk no one else has. If you're at the bottom, then you really don't have a future. As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without giving up your children.' The other party continued to lower the price.

Gu Chen didn't bargain anymore this time.

He frowned and thought about it. At the beginning, his older brother probably also paid 2,000 yuan.

Because he didn't have that much money.

The family savings were at most 3,000 to 4,000 yuan.

After all, Liu Lizhen did not work, and the daily expenses of the two of them depended on his meagre salary.

Gu Chen pretended to be heartbroken and helpless, 'Okay, 2,000 yuan it is.'

'And, you have to give me your card number. I'll start recruiting people today. How many people can I get to the head office?'

Gu Chen was desperate to know where the five points of their pyramid scheme were, so that he could bring the police and wipe them out!

Upon hearing this, the other party thought for a while.

'You can do it when you become a manager.'

As long as you become a manager, you have to recruit ten to twenty people.

Once you get on this boat, it's hard to get off.

After that, even if you know it's a scam, you have to keep going!

Otherwise, the company will have to bear a high debt!

This is their routine.

Money can defeat a person's moral bottom line.

So can high debt.

They take advantage of this and dare to lie to people without restraint.

'So how many people do I have to bring in to become general manager?' Gu Chen asked bluntly.

'That depends on how much profit you can generate for the company. But since you are sincere about joining us, I can make an exception and lower the profit threshold for you. Usually it's 10,000 yuan, but if you can generate 5,000 yuan in profit for the company, you can report to the head office.' The other person's Mandarin was not standard, but his attitude was truly sincere.

Gu Chen said yes, yes, yes, but in his heart he cursed, this is all a set-up.

He found the shoe polish company.

Gu Chen went to the bank and first transferred 2,000 yuan to the other party.

He also withdrew 20,000 yuan and kept it on his person, after all, he, Ji Pianran and Tang Tang would have expenses for each additional day they stayed here.

He had to let his wife and child have fun.

It took Gu Chen two hours just to get to the police station, and almost half an hour to get to the bank.

He took out his phone and looked at the time. It was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Gu Chen planned to take his wife and child out for a seafood dinner that night.

Then they would go shopping and buy some decent clothes.

After all, summer was just around the corner, and it was hot, so they would sweat a lot, and they needed to have enough clean clothes to change!

Thinking about this, he got back in the taxi and headed for the hotel.

Ji Bianran was in the hotel, bathing his daughter.

It is not convenient to bathe in the village. The hotel has hot water and a shower, as well as a bathtub, and the bathtub has been disinfected, so it is safe to use.

The little one was having a great time sitting in the water, splashing and splashing, and splashing Ji Pianran all over.

The dry hair on her forehead had become wet, and even her thin beige T-shirt was wet from the water, and her bra, which was still black, was faintly visible.

She heard the doorbell ring and hurried to open the door.
