Chapter 5: Private Detectives
When I first came to Chongqing, I thought there must be a lot of competitors, but I later learned that in fact, there were only two girls who came to apply for the job. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and their diplomas are lower than mine, one is a junior college student, and the other is a secondary school student.
However, the reason why they did not succeed in applying was not because they were not highly educated. Because the recruitment notice for this position has been clearly stated, the minimum education is technical secondary school or above, so they are eligible Yes. They didn't succeed in applying because they gave up voluntarily.
As soon as they came to register, they were told by the company's finance department that they must pay a registration fee of 200 yuan first. If the application is unsuccessful, the application fee of 200 yuan will not be refunded. If the application is successful, you will also need to pay a deposit of 2,000 yuan. The 2,000 yuan deposit can only be refunded to me after one year of work, and if I have to resign after less than one year, I can only return half of the deposit.
In addition, after the successful application, there is a two-month internship period, during which there is no salary and bonus, but if several contracts are negotiated for the company, you can get a commission of 5% according to the contract amount.
To be honest, such a bastard condition, not to mention those two girls, it's me, and I'm very unhappy.
That night, when I was surfing the Internet at home, I accidentally saw a recruitment notice in a forum I often go to (now of course I already know, that post was sent by Su Xiaowen), I clicked in and took a look, although I felt that the salary was not high, but other conditions were okay, and the work was not too difficult. If you don't believe me, I'll copy part of the content of the recruitment notice for everyone to take a look at and comment:

I believe that most of the unemployed young people whose conditions are not particularly outstanding will be a little tempted after reading the above content, right? So after reading it, although I don't know much about the company's situation (the notice only briefly introduces some information about the company), I only know that it is a private company engaged in civil and commercial affairs investigation services, and without thinking too much, I immediately sent my relevant personal information and resume to an email address designated by the other party.
To be honest, if the person in charge of recruitment was not Su Xiaowen, and I just came to Chongqing that day, she would have washed the dust for me - of course, the money for this meal was out of her own pocket, and it had nothing to do with the company, because I was invited to dinner, not because I was a rare talent, but because of our personal friendship. I'm probably going to be like those two girls, and I'm so angry with those bastards that I'm going to leave on the spot.
When we ate hot pot together that night, Su Xiaowen informed me that she was going to pay a 200 yuan registration fee and a 2,000 yuan deposit. Although I was a little unhappy in my heart, and even had a faint feeling of being deceived, I had no intention of blaming Su Xiaowen, because those bloody conditions were required by the company, not something she could change. And she also told me that if I don't want to accept it, I can not apply.
I thought that I had been unemployed for more than half a year, and I had an old friend in this company, so I reluctantly accepted it.
Su Xiaowen told me that the company has just been established for more than a year, so the scale is not large, including the boss, there are a total of nine people, and she herself is a new employee who has just joined the company for less than half a year. Because of his good work performance and during the internship, he signed five civil agency contracts for the company, so although there was no salary for those two months, he also received a commission of 5,600 yuan from those five contracts.
I was both surprised and admired, "If the commission is five percent, there is 5,600 yuan?" and the contract amount is at least ...... Hundreds of thousands, right?"
"The total amount of the contract is 112,000 yuan. ”
"Is it so high? Isn't our company a civil agency engaged in the nature of private detectives? Before I came, I also learned some relevant information on the Internet, the contracts you talked about, the return is so high, is it a contract to help people collect debts?"
"No, of the five contracts I signed, three of them were for us to investigate extramarital affairs, and the other two were for us to help find the missing person. ”
That night, we talked about the company's business while eating hot pot, although there was some information that I had learned about through Internet searches before, but after Su Xiaowen's introduction, I had a more detailed understanding of the industry.
The so-called private investigator refers to a person who is engaged in civil and commercial investigation services outside the government agency. Private detective agencies refer to private institutions that provide civil and commercial investigation services by citizens or institutions. Among them, the service content is mainly property investigation and evidence collection, national information investigation, personnel whereabouts investigation, Internet fraud investigation, and marriage investigation.
Since there is no law in our country that establishes the legal status of private detectives, private detectives only exercise the legitimate right to know of ordinary citizens. Private investigators are not allowed to get involved in criminal investigation activities, and China's law stipulates that only specific staff members of state organs have the right to investigate criminal cases.
There are about 3,700 private detective agencies in China, employing more than 20,000 people.
As a profession, "private detective" has not yet been recognized by the Chinese government. In 1993, the Ministry of Public Security issued a circular prohibiting any unit or individual from setting up various forms of civil affairs investigation offices, security affairs investigation offices and other private detective agencies.
At the end of 2002, the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce adjusted the scope of trademark classification registration, expanding the original 42 classes of goods and service trademark registration to 45 classes, of which the new permitted registration categories include the provision of "security services" such as private bodyguards, detective companies and search for missing persons.
Although the actual business scope of these institutions is often in the nature of private detectives, such as investigation and evidence collection in cases such as marriage and family disputes, economic debt disputes, and computer software copyright disputes, they are generally branded as "consulting services" and "social investigations", and most of them are named "investigation companies", "affairs investigation centers", "affairs investigation offices", etc., and none of them are really called private detective offices.
The main business of this industry includes: business anti-counterfeiting, tracing services, marriage investigation, child custody, debt recovery, whereabouts investigation, credit investigation, intellectual property investigation, as well as anti-counterfeiting and rights protection, economic intelligence investigation, etc.
In recent years, the market demand for private detectives has been expanding, and the private detective industry has also developed rapidly. However, due to the lack of necessary thresholds and effective supervision, the composition of the industry is chaotic, which in turn hinders the healthy development of the private detective industry......
