Geng Fanjian is 40 years old this year, a native of Dongguo, and has several companies under his name, mainly engaged in decoration and building materials business, with total assets of tens of millions of Dongguo dollars. He has two children, the eldest son is six years old and the youngest daughter is two years old.

The first time he heard about Philosopho was in August 2017 at a lecture in the eastern city of Shanghai.

Geng Fanjian is not from Shanghai, he lives in a city in northern Jiangsu, and he goes to Shanghai to discuss business and meet friends. He was dragged by a friend to listen to the lecture at the Waldorf Hotel in Songdong District, and the name of the lecture was "Several Miles of China Africa Sogang Investment Immigration Project Promotion Conference".

That was more than two years ago, and if Hua Zhenxing was also on the scene, his jaw might have dropped. Not to mention him, anyone who grew up in Porto Africa, such as the Shire, would have had such a reaction.

What is Port Feso? It is one of the poorest, backward, chaotic and dangerous areas in the world, with an average life expectancy of only 30 residents, a per capita annual income of only 200 meters, and most of the neighborhoods are controlled by more than 60 gangs, large and small, while the total population is less than 600,000.

Hua Zhenxing, who grew up in the port of Africa, was in a grocery store, received a traditional oriental education and was exposed to information from all over the world, and when he opened the door of the grocery store, he saw a hellish scene.

Where was Shanghai where Geng Fanjian was at the time? It is the most prosperous first-tier city in the whole of Dongguo, and it is also the most dynamic metropolis in the world in the past ten years. If a non-Sogang person comes to Shanghai, he will think that he has reached heaven!

Geng Fanjian had known about the country of several miles, read about it in the world geography textbook in middle school, and heard that the place was poor, backward and war-torn, but he had never heard of the place of Feisuogang.

However, the host of the promotion meeting overturned everyone's inherent understanding, saying that the war was a long time ago, and now the country of Jili and the port of Africa are developing very well.

There were about 100 people in the audience, and there were several heads of the Belli Foreign Investment Bureau sitting on the stage. Anyway, they are all faces of Bailuozhou people, and the host introduced them like this. (According to Huazhen's investigation, there is no foreign investment bureau in Beli Guo at all, and its corresponding government functional departments are not called by this name when translated.) ）

At the promotion meeting of the immigration project in the non-Sogang port, how could the people on the stage appear as officials of Belli? That's exactly the point of the propaganda!

According to reports, the country of several miles was once the overseas territory of the Belli country, and it only declared independence in the sixties of the last century, and it still maintains a certain subordinate relationship with the Belli country to this day. With a passport from a few miles of country, you can enter Belli country without a visa.

According to the Schengen Agreement between the countries of the Romanian Union, the ability to enter Belgian countries without a visa means that you can enter the 26 countries of the Romanian Union without a visa. These are secondary, and more importantly, as long as you invest in a hotel project in Porto Fesso, you can get a passport of several miles, and after five years, you will have the opportunity to become a naturalized Beli country.

This is a curved path to naturalization in Belle countries, with the status of a resident of a few miles as a springboard for the middle five years, and after success, you can enjoy the benefits of education and medical care for citizens of the countries of the Romanian Union.

The organizer of the promotion meeting is called Pingjing Daanyang Overseas Consulting Co., Ltd., which is registered in Pingjing City, the capital of the Eastern Kingdom, and specializes in providing various immigration consulting and intermediary services. In recent years, there have been quite a few such companies in Dongguo, and even formed an "immigration industry".

In the special promotional video shown at the scene, the picturesque scenery of the port is like spring all year round, and people laze on the beach to bask in the sun, taste tropical fruits and all kinds of strange drinks.

Everyone's expression is so laid-back and comfortable, and they greet strangers with a smile that is both polite and confident...... The camera pans to the sea and onshore, where beautiful buildings are hidden in lush tropical vegetation and communities are clean and peaceful.

The promotional video was filmed in early January 2017 in the southern waterfront area of Port Feso, and even the Palm Estate was filmed.

It is two worlds away from the rest of the city, and the winter after the light rainy season is the best time of year for the climate in the port of Africa, and there are indeed many overseas tourists who come there for vacation, and their footprints basically do not cross the Feso River.

Several "promotion ambassadors" on the stage told the audience through simultaneous interpreters on the spot that the project was to invest in a hotel in Port Africa, and the investment required for each person was 100,000 meters of gold, which would be returned in full after five years.

Moreover, in the past five years, the project party has chartered and has an expected annual income of 5%. After five years, not only can you return to your capital, but you can also earn 25,000 meters, which is equivalent to 170,000 or 80,000 yuan.

The cost of the third-party service of this immigration project is 500,000 Dongguo dollars, and the so-called third-party service is the immigration agency. In this way, the whole conversion is equivalent to spending more than 300,000 yuan, and you can be naturalized in five years.

During these five years, they can also come to live in Port Fesom at any time and have a free room in the hotel they have invested in...... Geng Fanjian was said to be tempted on the spot, and after the lecture, he was invited by the organizer to another negotiation room and had one-on-one communication with the account manager.

He didn't notice at the time that interested customers were all one-on-one, and there was little communication with each other. In retrospect, it seems that the organizers deliberately tried to discourage discussions among customers, with the slogan "Dedicated one-stop service to the end".

Geng Fanjian paid 15,000 EC$ consulting fees on the spot and signed a service agreement with the other party. This consulting fee is the cost of consulting services provided by Daanyang, which is an additional expense, but it is only a small amount of money for Geng Fanjian.

Subsequently, Geng Fanjian and his wife also flew to Jili Country to inspect the project, and the landing itinerary was arranged by the project party. Departing from the city of Mowang airport and taking a bus to the port, the passenger ship went directly to the southern coast of Port Feso, where they checked into a luxury hotel.

The so-called luxury is also like that, according to the standards of the eastern country, it is almost four-star, but it is very exotic, covers a wide area, and has good scenery, which is equivalent to an overseas vacation.

The project team pointed to a place, and sure enough, the site had been leveled, and the foundation was being dug, and they signed a formal investment immigration agreement here.

After paying the follow-up fees, I got the passport of Jili Country, and the registered place of residence was Banda City. And according to Geng Fanjian's request, the passport was changed to a new name.

He used this name and this passport to open accounts in various local banks, and it was not available in Dongguo, and at the same time, Geng Fanjian also kept his Dongguo passport and ID card.

That was at the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018, and then Geng Fanjian returned to China, and the intermediary told him that he just had to wait with peace of mind. At that time, no one around him knew that he had become a citizen of the country of Jili, and he had changed his name.

But in the blink of an eye, at the beginning of 2019, the promised annual investment income of 5% did not hit the account, so he found Daanyang Company again. The account manager asked him to read the agreement, and the investment income was only after the hotel was completed and opened, and now the hotel has not been completed, and of course there is no income yet.

But the account manager also reassured him that the hotel would be completed in another year, and that the conditions for a return on investment would remain unchanged after five years and a full return on investment after five years. Moreover, these two years are not counted in the waiting time for naturalization, and he can still become a citizen of Belli as long as he waits for another four years.

Geng Fanjian was not stupid, he immediately took out the terms of the original agreement to check, and the contract said that the hotel construction could be completed within half a year, and the property rights transfer procedures could be handled, and now a year has passed.

The intermediary explained that due to the large number of investors, the hotel needed to be redesigned, expanded in scale and reception capacity, so the construction period was postponed.

At this time, Geng Fanjian felt wrong, but he still couldn't believe that such a big company as Da'an Yang went abroad had been operating in the immigration industry for many years, and would engage in blatant fraud projects. Even if there is fraud, he can still claim the contract through legal means.

But another year later, not only did he not wait for the news of the completion of the hotel, but the publicity of the project had been deleted from the official website of Daanyang.

Geng Fanjian came to the door again, and the investment consultant who had "made a special trip to provide one-stop service to the end" had left, and the receptionist only told him that the hotel was still under construction.

Geng Fanjian immediately demanded the return of the investment, otherwise he would resort to law, but the other party said that Daanyang Company had fulfilled its contractual responsibilities, which meant that Geng Fanjian should be sued.

Geng Fanjian contacted the same investors in the project, and they set up a rights protection group, and invested in hiring a lawyer named Knight in Shanghai who represented foreign-related economic disputes.

Lawyer Knight looked at all the agreement materials in their hands, including many foreign language materials, and told them that it was almost impossible to win the lawsuit in China, and there was no way to even sue them.

Lawyer Knight pointed out that there have been many such immigration projects in recent years, and the industry is currently very disorderly, and the purpose of some intermediaries is to charge high service fees and commissions.

There are many complex professional legal issues involved, such as Daanyang is only an intermediary, not the developer of the project, and they only charge consulting fees and referral commissions.

Knight read all the text of the agreement and pointed out that the service promised by Daanyang had actually been completed, that is, to apply for the nationality of a few miles to the customer.

There are two biggest pits. One is that holders of passports of several miles can indeed enter Belli countries without a visa, so as to enter the 26 countries of the Romanian Union without a visa. But they can only be tourists, and they can neither work locally nor enjoy any benefits.

As for whether or not they can become a Belli nationality after five years, there is a policy and there is a possibility, but everyone needs to apply for it according to the regulations of Belli, and whether or not it is approved is a matter for Belli. This is not something that the intermediary can guarantee, and there is a detailed description in foreign languages on the appendix of the contract.

The second big pit is the hotel. The construction and project management parties are both in the country of several miles, and they signed an investment agreement, which is a dispute over the delay of the project.

There is also a legal deadlock, this group of investors have already obtained the nationality of the country of Jili, and the location of the project is also in the country of Jili. Disputes between citizens of the country of the country of several miles within the territory of the country cannot be tried by the courts of the eastern country.

Theoretically, they could also sue Daan Yang in China, claiming that the other party had committed fraud in the process of promoting the project. But as long as they go to court, there is another problem, these people have already broken the law themselves.

Dongguo does not recognize dual nationality, and they have gone through the naturalization procedures for several miles, but they have not reported to the public security and foreign affairs departments, and still retain their passports and citizenship.

This information must be submitted when the evidence is submitted for the prosecution, so they face a dilemma before the trial, and the passport of the East country will be confiscated and cut.

For citizens of the Eastern Chinese country, only one of these two identities can be retained at that time. If they still want to retain their citizenship, then don't go to court, at least don't run into the guns of the law enforcement agencies themselves.

Then, whether theoretically or legally, the feasible way to protect rights is to go to the country of Jili as a citizen of the country of Jili to sue the builder and the manager of the hotel project for breach of contract, and demand the recovery of investment or compensation.

But Knight's lawyer did not advise them to do so, and if they wanted to fight this lawsuit, they had to get evidence that the project party did not use the investment for the construction of the hotel...... That's pretty much the professional advice she provides.

It's a protracted fight. From Geng Fanjian's point of view, he paid a total of 15,000 Dongguo dollars in consulting fees, 500,000 Dongguo dollars in third-party intermediary fees, and 100,000 meters of gold investment, totaling more than 1.3 million yuan, and only got a passport of a few miles.

The hotel project is far away, the investment is probably in vain, and the commitment to naturalization is also an empty guarantee, and he needs to apply according to the regulations, and the intermediary party will help fill in the information at most, and there is no guarantee that the application will be passed.

How could Geng Fanjian swallow this breath? More than 100 investors who also participated in this project could not swallow this breath.

Later, because of the epidemic, many things were delayed, and it was not until last autumn that the epidemic in Dongguo was basically under control. After the end of the heavy rainy season here, Geng Fanjian once again came to the port of Africa.

The lawyer advised him not to come, but Geng Fanjian still came, and he really dared to come! He's here to gather evidence.
