At 10 o'clock in the evening, restaurants of all sizes were closed, and only the nearby night market could eat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The info girl said, "Let's go to the night market, I invite you." ”

"You're still a student, how can I let you please, let's go, I'll please."

The two of them came to the night market, there were still many people in the night market, so they found a seat and sat down, Luo Qianfan ordered a lot of things, grilled skewers, grilled fish, cold dishes, and stir-fried ......

The girl said, "Don't order too much, you will gain weight if you eat too much." ”

Luo Qianfan said: "If you can't finish eating, you can pack it and give it to your sisters in the dormitory to eat, so that they can gain weight." The girl covered her mouth and laughed.

After eating a little, the girl said: "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Bai Lu, I majored in editing and publishing, I listened to my brother's speech this afternoon, and I gained too much, much better than those big professors before."

"Really, they know how to tell some big truths with a straight face, not to have a backache when standing and talking, and to talk about some professional ethics and professional ideals that reporters and editors should adhere to. What you say is different from them, just like what happens around us, real, very resonant, especially feeling.

"Your experience makes us immersive, and the confusion you encounter is also the confusion we are encountering or about to encounter, your confusion is eliminated, and we can also learn from it the courage and experience to face the confusion......"

Luo Qianfan laughed: "This meal was not in vain, look at you, you have praised me as a flower." ”

Bai Lu argued: "What I said is true. ”

"Well, well, as long as you feel that you have gained a little bit, I have not talked about it in vain this afternoon. You said you asked me for help with something, what's the matter? ”

Bai Lu's face darkened, put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I want to ask you to help save my brother." ”

"What's wrong with your brother?"

"My brother may have fallen into a pyramid scheme, and last year, a friend of mine came to Hongcheng and said that he was doing a big business. After the Spring Festival, my brother was called away by her and went to U City, saying that they were doing big business together, and I didn't care about it at the time.

"About a week later, my mother suddenly called me, saying that my brother came home, took 20,000 yuan in cash from home, and asked my father to go to the bank to withdraw the money in the card, my father said that the money was pressed in the business and could not be taken out, my brother was very unhappy, and borrowed a lot of money from relatives, saying that he was going to U City to invest in the voluntary chain business.

"I've never heard of any voluntary chain business, so I called my brother to ask him, but his phone was always turned off, and I didn't get in touch for more than 10 days. During this period, my brother called my parents again and asked my parents to borrow money, and my parents asked him what kind of business he was doing, but he didn't say whether he was alive or dead, but only said that as long as he invested 8,800 yuan at one time, he could earn back at least 8.8 million yuan after three years.

He also persuaded my mother to join in, and the way of speaking was different from before, 'Mom, I am your own son, who can I deceive you, you take out the money to do business with me, and you can earn a lifetime of money in three years.' My mother suspected him of a demon and asked him to come back, but my brother would not come back, saying, 'The chance of getting rich is so good, it would be a fool to go back.'"

"Later, my brother called me and asked me to do business with him, asking me to drop out of school, what's the use of going to school, I can earn a few dollars, as long as I go to business, I can earn 1,000 times more money in three years! The longer you go, the more you earn......

"As long as it's a legitimate business, how can there be such a high profit? I persuaded my brother to come back, but he didn't listen, I asked him where he was, he didn't say, asked me to send him money, said that I would be a member when I handed over the money, he told me the address, and then opened the door to wealth.

"Later, I inquired with my classmates, and some of them told me that the so-called voluntary chain business is a pyramid scheme, and many people in Hongcheng have been deceived into going to U City. Now our family is very worried about my brother, and my dad can't continue his business, sighing all day long, and going to U City several times but not finding a place. I called the police to the U City police, but after checking for a long time, there was no result. ”

Luo Qianfan listened quietly, like a mirror in his heart, it must be a pyramid scheme.

Luo Qianfan has heard more than once about the evils of pyramid schemes, but he always has a question in his heart, what kind of lies can make those who are deeply involved in pyramid schemes believe the truth? What is it about the sweet dreams that keep them awake?

Almost every day, we can see people who do not know the truth being tricked into pyramid schemes, either brainwashed and become a downline of pyramid schemes, or they are detained and difficult to get out, and some people deliberately go to the street to rob and attract the police in order to get out, and some even jump off buildings and rivers to cause tragedy.

It is said that MLM originated in the United States at the end of World War II, took shape in post-war Japan, and flourished in China. MLM training materials are not only extremely inflammatory and deceptive, but also have many elements of psychology, which can easily lead to temptation. The chain of procedures woven by the textbook is roughly as follows: to deceive a newcomer into a pyramid scheme, it is roughly divided into: making a list, inviting people by phone or letter, showdown, follow-up, and even coercion to join.

However, the law generally investigates mainly the organizers and planners of pyramid schemes, but does not pursue ordinary participants, and the organizers are extremely secretive and rarely show their faces.

Luo Qianfan has read a lot of relevant reports and checked a lot of information about pyramid schemes, but he has never gone deep into them.

Luo Qianfan asked Bai Lu: "How do you want me to help you?" ”

Bai Lu thought for a while and said, "You are a reporter, can you take me to the MLM investigation and make an unannounced visit, and rescue my brother by the way?" ”

Luo Qianfan said: "Secret visits to pyramid schemes are very dangerous, even if you break in, you have to peel off your skin if you don't die, how do you know that I will take risks?" ”

Bai Lu shook his head: "Isn't this a good news subject?" ”

"Yes, but it's dangerous."

Bai Lu lowered his head and said, "If you don't help me, no one can help me." ”

Luo Qianfan said: "Haven't you read the report? It's easy to get in and hard to get out, you can't eat enough and dress every day, dozens of people sleep on the floor in one room, aren't you afraid of danger? ”

"It's my brother who is trapped inside! I have to save him, and I'm also a media student, so if I can follow you to the interview, it's also an opportunity to learn. ”

Luo Qianfan smiled: "You are killing multiple birds with one stone, not only using me to save your brother, but also following me for an internship?" ”

"No, no, no, I don't mean to take advantage of my brother, I'm really worried about my brother, my mother cries every day, she is sick, since my brother is not interested, it doesn't matter, I will go by myself, I won't blame you, really."

"You go by yourself? Isn't your mom more worried about going on your own? What if you're brainwashed too, what will your mom do? Moreover, the MLM organization has complex personnel, what should you do if a girl encounters a bad person? ”

"So didn't I come to ask you for help? But you won't help me......" Bai Lu said, looking at Luo Qianfan with aggrieved eyes, his eyes full of begging. (To be continued.) )
