Chapter 320: Sudden Enlightenment
"Team Ling, today we inadvertently got a piece of news that Niu Zhenshan not only has a family workshop with a simulation model under his name, but also a smaller non-ferrous metal casting workshop that has not been registered with the industrial and commercial taxation departments. ”
Sensing that Rong Liang's eyes were a little strange, Ling Zhan opened his mouth and asked, "Is there any unexpected discovery?"
"It's a bit of an unexpected discovery, and it's very strange. Rong Liang explained: "Niu Zhenshan's non-ferrous metal casting workshop produces all copper, or copper-plated antique utensils. Among them, the most are copper incense burners, copper candlesticks and other ancient ritual utensils. ”
"No, the copper incense burner is also an imitation of the Ming Xuande furnace, right?"
"Exactly. ”
"What else is there?"
"A large number of gilt copper bracelets. ”
"It's also gilded after it has been cast?"
"It looks like. After learning from those who know the industry, it is a relatively advanced casting process that can be mass-produced, and the scientific name is 'high-pressure die casting'. ”
"Oh, I know a little bit about that. High-pressure die casting is further divided into hot chamber die casting and cold chamber die casting. As long as the accuracy level of the mold is sufficient, it can produce a regular product at one time without the need for secondary processing. Ling Zhan then asked, "Have you investigated where all these things produced by Niu Zhenshan have gone?"
"It's very secretive, I stared at it for three days in a row, but I didn't find that Niu Zhenshan had gone out to deliver or deliver goods. ”
"Where's the money?"
"The bank accounts in the names of Niu Zhenshan and his immediate family members that we have not found any obvious signs of a large amount of money coming in. Rong Liang hesitated and asked, "Team Ling, do you want to summon Niu Zhenshan?"
I know that the National Security Bureau is currently making every effort to investigate Lu Xidong, who pretended to be a demobilized soldier Niu Tao and successfully infiltrated the Four-Dimensional Research Institute. And it just happened a few days ago, without the knowledge of the National Security Bureau, he inadvertently destroyed the action plan arranged by Ling Zhan's side to capture Boss Diao, so Ling Zhan pondered for a moment and decided to talk to Lin Jia first.
"Forestry Bureau, when we were investigating Niu Zhenshan, a suspected member of the 'Laverette Society', we found an unusual and strange situation....... ”
When Lin Jia listened to Ling Zhan's narration, he couldn't help but say very happily: "Hehe, the news of Team Ling is really timely. Immediately, Lin Jia also told Ling Zhan about the fact that Cui Luyi and Zhang Chunhe undoubtedly bumped into a pyramid marketing organization. Then he asked, "Haven't you reported the news to Team Ling yet?"
"Nope. I haven't heard anything about it yet. Ling Zhan said decisively to Lin Jia on the phone: "That's it, I'll go over and have a look right away." If it is as Xiao Zhang and Xiao Cui suspected, it may play a decisive role in our investigation of the 'Laverette Lavernaries'. ”
"It's been a hard work. Lin Jia said very politely: "As for Niu Zhenshan, my opinion is to monitor his every move first, and then decide to summon or arrest him after the external investigation has all figured out whether he has direct contact with Lu Xidong." ”
"Good. Then do what the Forestry Bureau wants. ”
After ending the call with Ling Zhan, he couldn't help but let Lin Jia connect the MLM organization he had just learned about with Niu Zhenshan. The former is the use of fakes and antiques, and they are all fakes similar to the ritual objects used by members of the "Laverdaul" to identify themselves as pyramid schemes. The latter is the producer of such fakes, and his identity is suspected to be a member of the "Lafayette". Lin Jia never imagined that things would be so coincidental.
Soon, Zhang Chunhe, who remained at the scene of the arrest of the pyramid marketing organization, brought back a piece of good news.
"Forestry Bureau, although the actual controller of the pyramid scheme organization did not appear at the scene, but during the interrogation of several arrested pyramid scheme backbones, we learned that the person at the top of the pyramid scheme is a woman, and it is a person we have already mastered - Luan Hongjin, the current wife of Lu Xidong. ”
"Who, Luan Hongjin?"
"Not bad. It was discovered by the previous serious crime team when investigating the whereabouts of Wei Dongdong, who is the 'Old Buddha Society' and 'Dharma Protector Bodhisattva', and the jade bracelet that represents his identity, and Luan Hongying's sister, who bought the jade bracelet from Wei Dongdong's sister-in-law Liu Li for 100,000 yuan. ”
"It turned out to be her. Lin Jia looked at Zhang Chunhe and said, "In that case, why didn't the serious crime team find anything when they investigated Luan Hongjin's bank account before?"
"The Forestry Bureau doesn't know that the MLM method of this MLM organization is a bit different. ”
"What's the difference?"
"Except for the new members who have just joined and have to pay an entrance fee of 8,100 yuan each, they don't have to pay a penny in cash after that. MLM organizations never reward members with outstanding performance, but reward gilt bracelets, copper candlesticks, copper incense burners and other items. ”
MLM organizations have always brainwashed their members with the dream of getting rich overnight, and like the current MLM organization, it only rewards members with a large number of items that cannot be circulated at all, or even useless, how can it attract members?
"Is that okay?"
"The Forestry Bureau doesn't know anything. The idea of making a fortune in their members is that members who have just joined the club can only get a gilt copper bracelet for 8,100 yuan. In other words, $8,100 is a standard monetary unit of the MLM organization and cannot be split. There is such a conversion relationship between gilded copper bracelets, copper candlesticks, and copper incense burners: ten gilt copper bracelets can be exchanged for one copper candlestick, and ten copper candlesticks can be exchanged for one copper incense burner.
Converted into the internal monetary unit of a MLM organization, the copper candlestick is ten, and the copper incense burner is one hundred.
Then there is the reward and promotion mechanism of the MLM organization - every time a head is pulled in, a copper candlestick is rewarded, and the merit value (i.e., wealth value) is 11 at this time, and at the same time, it is promoted to 'monk and nun', and has the title of junior person. When three people are brought in, two bronze candlesticks are awarded, and the merit value is twenty-one. When six people are brought in, five bronze candlesticks are rewarded, and the merit value is fifty-one, and then they are promoted to the rank of 'Arhat'. When the number of heads pulled in reaches nine, a copper incense burner will be directly rewarded, and the merit value will suddenly skyrocket to one hundred and one. After accumulating nine copper incense burners, his identity is transformed into a 'bodhisattva'.
The accumulation of nine copper incense burners requires at least about 50 people, which means that the merit value possessed by a 'bodhisattva', that is, the wealth value, is greater than 901. According to the minimum value, it is 7.3 million yuan when converted into RMB. ”
"How do they convert it into RMB, and how do they promise their members how they will fulfill it in the future?"
"If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed what I said. Zhang Chunhe raised his hand and wiped it on his face and said, "Oh, I forgot to talk about it, the highest level of the MLM organization, that is, Luan Hongjin calls himself the 'incense master'."
According to the confessions of those backbones, the 'incense master' Luan Hongjin personally promised them that as long as they reached the Bodhisattva level, they could ask her to exchange their merit points for RMB at any time. Also, you can leave at any time if you want to. But leaving does not mean leaving the organization, but rather going out to the society with the compassion that a bodhisattva should have. ”
"What kind of beings are Pudu? Is it to let those who have made a fortune continue to go out and pull people's heads?"
"Exactly. ”
"Has anyone gotten rich?"
"Yes. So far there is only one. ”
Looking at the obvious smile on Zhang Chunhe's face, Lin Jia guessed that it should also be someone who was already in the hands of the National Security Bureau, so he asked casually, "Who?"
"Dong Jianchun. ”
At this point, Lin Jiacai finally realized why Wang Luo said "a man and a woman" in the text message he sent at that time. Qian Cuihong's situation has been basically figured out, that is, the waiter who handed over the key to Cabinet 174 to Shi Xiaoyu for Lu Xidong at the Emgrand Bathing Center, and the online fugitive who abducted and sold babies announced by the Ministry of Public Security. However, he has never figured out the suspicious points on Tung Chee-chun's body, so he had to temporarily hand him over to the Municipal Public Security Bureau on charges of gathering crowds to gamble and ticket chang.
"Immediately go to the city bureau to find Deputy Director Ling and bring Dong Jianchun back again. ”
"Yes. ”
Lin Jia was waiting for Zhang Chunhe to go to the city bureau to mention Dong Jianchun's gap, and carefully calculated an account for Luan Hongjin's pyramid marketing organization.
According to Zhang Chunhe's algorithm just now, upgrading to the "Bodhisattva" level requires accumulating nine copper incense burners, and the number of people pulled in should be counted at about fifty. The minimum merit value of a so-called 'bodhisattva' is 901, which translates to nearly 7.3 million yuan.
According to the need to pay 8,100 yuan for each person to join: = 405,000 yuan.
The total amount of wealth that a so-called "bodhisattva" can create for a pyramid scheme organization is only 405,000 yuan. However, after exchanging the merit value into RMB, no less than 7.3 million yuan was taken, which was more than 18 times that of the former.
If Dong Jianchun really accumulated 901 merit points and left the MLM organization with 7.3 million yuan, wouldn't Luan Hongjin lose a lot of money on him?
Is there a pyramid scheme organization in the world that not only does not make money, but also gives money to its members?
