Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 237: Cousin Bing was deceived by pyramid scheme
"That's totally unacceptable, cousin. Your tea leaves are worth only 10 yuan a bag at most."

Kang Qirui used the tea leaves brought by his cousin Bing to make a pot of Kung Fu tea. After taking a sip, the second brother frowned and said that he didn't want to take a second sip of this tea at all.

"You can even taste this?" Cousin Bing was surprised. This tea is really only worth 10 yuan, but he didn't spend a dime. Today, he took a bus to Guangfu and went to Tea Street and walked into a tea shop. But after trying countless kinds of tea, he was not satisfied. He said this was not good, and that was not good. Later, the owner of the tea shop, Ye, saw that he was not here to buy good tea, so he threw him a bag of 10 yuan tea and sent him away.

"What else do you think? Try this tea of ​​mine." Er Lao took out the tea that his second sister-in-law had bought for 900 yuan and half a pound from the drawer under the table, poured the tea he had just brewed into the drawer, and boasted while brewing tea again, "Today I'll let you try what good tea is. Do you know how much this tea costs? 900 yuan for half a pound."

"Haha, then I really need to give it a try." Cousin Bing was thick-skinned enough that he didn't care about his cheap tea being exposed. He changed the subject while drinking tea, "A Rui and A Zong, what are your plans for this branch this year? I don't see any plans for renovations in the past few months. Are you not going to keep it open?"

Cousin Bing came out this time mainly to solicit business. Er Lao and Kang Qirui looked at each other, and finally Kang Qirui spoke up: "We are running that confinement center, as you know, cousin. Basically all the funds in the first half of the year have been invested in it. So in the first half of the year, the tea restaurant is mainly franchised. The several franchised stores have not yet been reviewed, so there are no plans for renovation recently."

It would be fine if we didn't mention the confinement center. Cousin Bing got even angrier when he mentioned the confinement center. He was not the one responsible for the decoration of such a large store. But Kang Qirui really had no choice. The confinement center served babies and mothers, and it was a high-end brand. Cousin Bing's rural decoration team could not do it.

Seeing that he couldn't get any business, cousin Bing put down his teacup angrily and walked out. Kang Qirui quickly stopped him and said, "Cousin, the company has its own plans, and besides, your decoration team can't always only take our projects, you have to look for other projects."

Cousin Bing got even angrier after hearing this, and shook off Kang Qirui's hand, "Okay, okay, I'll go out and find projects and clients now, I don't need to beg you." He left directly after he said that, and neither Er Lao nor Kang Qirui stopped him. The maid heard the noise and came out, "Where's Bing? He's ready to finish his meal, where else is he going?"

Kang Qirui shrugged and said, "He has an appointment with a client, so he's not having dinner here tonight." The mother obviously didn't quite believe it, but she couldn't say anything since the person had left.

Two days later at 9:30 in the evening, when everyone had just finished watching TV and were about to go back to their rooms to take a shower and go to bed, someone knocked on the door. Xianglan walked to the door and thought about opening it, "Cousin?"

The person knocking on the door was not my cousin Bing, but a policeman. A policeman helped my cousin Bing, who was only wearing a pair of underwear, into the Kang family. Seeing this, Zhu Wanling and Xingzi took Siqi, Siyu, Zhizi and Tianyou to play in the courtyard garden.

"A Bing, why are you like this? You are naked. What happened?" The mother asked with concern.

"Were you caught by the police for soliciting prostitution?" A Zu looked at his cousin Bing and guessed. It was because his cousin Bing had always had a bad reputation. Even the mother believed what A Zu said. She scolded him angrily, "You poor boy, why don't you just do business properly? You have to do such a shameful thing, right?"

Kang Qirui supported the nanny and signaled her not to be so excited. He walked up to the policeman, pointed at the half-naked cousin Bing, and asked, "Sir, what happened to him?" He didn't believe that his cousin Bing had really committed a crime. If that was the case, the policeman would never send him back. The only way the policeman could send him home was that his cousin Bing was a victim.

As Kang Qirui expected, the police officer immediately told everyone: "Don't worry, he didn't commit any crime. He is also a victim. As for what happened, you can ask him. I have other things to do in the office, so I will go back first." When he left, he patted A Bing on the shoulder and said, "I will help you find out your case as soon as possible, don't worry."

After the policeman left, the nanny brought out a piece of clothing for Cousin Bing to change into. "Cousin, didn't you go find clients and make a lot of money? How did you end up like this?" Kang Qirui pulled Cousin Bing to sit on the sofa.

"I am in this state because of the people of southern Henan." Cousin Bing looked angry. "What does this have to do with us people of southern Henan?" Xianglan was unhappy when she heard what Cousin Bing said, and she asked back directly without any politeness.

"I left here without having dinner that day, and then I went to the tea restaurant for dinner. Do you remember the man from southern Henan that day? He was the one you chatted with for a few words." Xianglan did have an impression of the man that cousin Bing was talking about, so she nodded and gave cousin Bing some feedback.

Cousin Bing saw Xianglan nod, and then continued: "Then that day I went out with that guy from southern Henan. He said he had a big business to discuss with me and took me to his office. When we got there, he said he was going to the bathroom. But just after he left the house for a while, two big guys rushed in and took away all my documents and wallet without any hesitation."

"Ah? You still say this is taking? This is simply robbery." Big Brother Guang interrupted.

"That's kind of true. He said he was keeping me for the time being, and then he took me to another room. There were twenty or thirty people in that room sitting on small stools, all holding paper and pens in their hands. Then the man from southern Henan stood on the podium and spoke, but how could I understand him? So I fell asleep while listening." said my cousin Bing.

Everyone was shocked. How could they fall asleep in this situation?

I just heard my cousin Bing continue to say: "When I woke up, I saw a group of people surrounding me, talking to me in all kinds of languages ​​from all over the country. I couldn't understand them at all. I just heard them talking about developing downlines and how much commission they would give me."

"Oh, I see." A-Zu said with certainty, "He must have joined a pyramid scheme company."

"The country has banned pyramid schemes now. Pyramid schemes are illegal." A Yao explained the latest policy. On April 1998, 4, the country announced that it would no longer allow any form of pyramid schemes. Those that have been approved for registration need to go through change or cancellation procedures. So far, since the Sino-US joint venture Avon Co., Ltd. introduced pyramid schemes in 21, the road of pyramid schemes in China has come to an end after 1990 years.

但是在2004年，传销依然是非常猖獗的。为此，2005年8月国务院通过了《禁止传销条例》，自2005年11月1日起施行。

"Yes." Cousin Bing nodded and said, "So I wanted to leave immediately, but there were people watching you in that room 24 hours a day. I tried to escape several times but they caught me and slapped me a few times. Then they stripped me naked."

"Then how did you escape?" Kang Qirui asked curiously.

"Then maybe the person watching me had diarrhea and had to go to the toilet all day, so I sneaked out." My cousin Bing said pitifully, "I was caught as soon as I ran out of the community. I thought they were pyramid schemers at first. But they took me to the police station, and I realized they arrested me because they thought I was an exhibitionist."

"So you told the police everything, and then they sent you back?" A-Zu guessed. Cousin Bing nodded, "Don't you think I'm unlucky? It was bad enough that I was deceived into joining a pyramid scheme, and then someone said I was running naked and arrested me and sent me to the police station."

"You should be laughing about being sent to the police station. If they hadn't arrested you as an exhibitionist, you might have been caught by the pyramid scheme guys." Kang Qirui said.
