Yesterday, I just said that at the end of the year, the entertainment industry did not stop, and the big melon came again.
This time it is the female star Zhang Ting, suspected of pyramid schemes.
It is the one who acted in "Love Through Time and Space".
Zhang Ting, known as "China's first micro-business" brand TST and "China's Kardashian".
According to a number of media reports, yesterday, Shanghai Darway Trading Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting, was investigated for suspected pyramid schemes.
Moreover, according to the disclosure of the "Li Xu Anti-Transmission Anti-Deception Team", it was found after the masses reported it.
On June 5, 2021, the investigation began.
Then yesterday, it was officially investigated and punished, and frozen funds of 600 million yuan.
At present, Zhang Ting and her husband Lin Ruiyang have forwarded Weibo saying that they operate legally and pay taxes according to law.
The company's operation is normal, and the company will actively cooperate with the relevant departments.
But what is interesting is that although Zhang Ting's company said in a statement that everything was normal, the official account that originally did live broadcasting every day was quietly stopped.
In September, Zhang Ting has successively cancelled nine companies located in Shanghai with the real name "Zhang Shuqin" as the legal representative.
Although Zhang Ting explained:
Due to the adjustment of the Group's business and structure, many enterprises under Zhang Ting's name that had never carried out any business did not have the need to continue to exist, so they applied for cancellation.
But there were still people who suspected that she was going to run.
Then in November, Tao Hong, a star who was originally the seventh largest shareholder with a shareholding ratio of 1.93%, also withdrew.
Live broadcast room stop change, good girlfriend quit, a series of things are not coincidental or not I don't know, but a look at Zhang Ting's family history will find that everything has long had that taste.
Zhang Ting was born in 1970 to an ordinary family in Changhua County, Taiwan Province.
Counting her, her parents gave birth to five daughters before and after, and Zhang Ting ranked third.
Since she was a child, her dream has been to make a lot of money.
At the age of 19, Zhang Ting finally waited for the opportunity to make a lot of money.
When she went to the supermarket, she met a model agent and then entered the entertainment industry with a shampoo advertisement.
On the other hand, Zhang Ting's future husband Lin Ruiyang has opened his first marriage.
In 1989, during the filming process, Lin Ruiyang met Zeng Zhezhen, who had also just debuted, and the two soon secretly obtained a secret license to get married.
Lin Ruiyang is a full 10 years older than Zhang Ting, and his debut time is only three years earlier than her, but Lin Ruiyang is the real sense of "debut is the peak".
It is also known as "Taiwan's first young student".
The twist of fate took place in 1997.
That year, the 27-year-old Zhang Ting took over the TV series "Golden Night Fork", through which she came into contact with Lin Ruiyang for the first time.
Lin Ruiyang also noticed her, and when the crew got up early every day, Lin Ruiyang would help her stew bird's nest in advance.
In the winter, Lin Ruiyang even helped her take off her shoes and warm her feet in public.
Although Lin Ruiyang was secretly married, everyone in the circle has been known, so after he and Zhang Ting made intimate moves, public opinion instantly fried.
In order to save the image, the two have held a press conference on the "small three on the top" incident.
At that time, Lin Ruiyang said that he would not marry Zhang Ting.
Zhang Ting also said that he would not marry Lin Ruiyang, and it is said that he also swore that he would not have children.
As a result, during New Year's Day in 2002, Zhang Tinglin Ruiyang was engaged, and in 2010, the two were officially married.
During this period, Zhang Ting also gave birth to a daughter on December 10, 2009.
She gave birth to another child on January 6, 2012, both times "artificially conceived".
But this is not even dog blood, in 2016, Lin Ruiyang's ex-wife Zeng Zhezhen could not let go of this relationship and committed suicide.
As a result, in the same year, Zhang Ting and Lin Ruiyang directly registered the trademark of "TST Court Secret" and sold the mask while taking advantage of the heat.
After all, the acting career can't go on, and I have to hurry up and make a living.
According to statistics, Zhang Ting's micro-business brand, after its establishment, paid billions of taxes a year, and has more than 10 billion traffic per year.
The number of registered members increased from 60,000 to 6.76 million, with more than 800 stores and 7.66 million dealers nationwide.
You know, TST sells a mask for 298 yuan, but the purchase price is only 14 yuan.
To be able to achieve a wanli, it is thanks to one story after another carefully made up by Zhang Ting and his wife.
First of all, I have to admit that Zhang Ting, who is over 50 years old, is too well maintained.
So, when she put the secret of her eternal youth on her own TST cosmetics, looking at that face was really convincing.
However, many people have a bad face after purchasing.
Even Zhuo Wei had hammered it.
But it didn't matter, Zhang Ting pulled Xu Zheng, Xiao Tao Hong, Cao Ge, Ming Dao, Fan Bingbing... A bunch of big stars came to stand for TST.
It claims that the purchase of TST products is absolutely reliable and reliable, and the operation of TST products can also obtain high income.
According to her, in 1992, ordinary office workers earned 290,000 yuan a month, and after 80s, Bao Mama earned more than 300,000 yuan per month.
In the words of "Li Xu's anti-deception team":
In fact, it is to use their influence endorsement in the film and television circle, and in the name of the star business owner, by developing the way of pulling people's heads and team remuneration to carry out business activities.
In other words, Zhang Ting never made money by sales, but relied on layer after layer of distribution agency model.
As long as 100 people are developed, they are the hereditary founders of the company.
No matter how many years, as long as his "children and grandchildren" buy products, he can get a commission of 2.5%-5%.
Listen to the word, hereditary, too appealing.
In addition to verbal promises, in order to retain these members, Zhang Ting and his wife also made a bloody payment.
Zhang Tinghao spent 1.7 billion yuan to buy the building next to the Huangpu River and sent his good friends Tao Hong and Ming Dao to each floor.
Luxury cruises were also chartered.
A year-end bonus of 10 months' salary is paid at every turn.
Just to tell these members, join "us", you will also have a good treatment.
In addition, Zhang Ting often loves her husband Lin Ruiyang Xiu:
He asked me for marriage 8 times, went to the bathroom at night, and he carried me on his back.
And the reason why I can be so happy is that I do micro-business, and women have careers.
So you see, don't you want to be independent and self-reliant, have free wealth, have money and beauty, and have a happy family?
It is worth mentioning that the company culture is also very magical.
Every Weibo post of Lin Ruiyang is almost beating chicken blood and promoting products.
He calls himself "Big Brother Lin", and often dresses as a woman and wears a pink red qipao to dance awkwardly to make the family happy.
Employees will also be required to line up on one knee, pick up the porridge handed by the boss, and then wish the boss "I wish you safety and health".
In the words of the comments section: Isn't this a cult?
Is it not known that Zhang Ting did not hide, but often took the initiative to go to the news.
In 2018, Zhang Ting took the initiative to expose to the media that the annual tax paid by his TST cosmetics company exceeded 2.1 billion yuan.
During the epidemic, she donated another 20 million yuan, and she also donated 5 million yuan in the Henan flood in July.
Taking the initiative to assume social responsibility is worth affirming, but now it seems that why I did it, I also have a number in mind.
Therefore, after the official report, many people rushed to leave a message, calling out "Zhang Ting was investigated" and "it is very happy" and so on.
If Zhang Ting is suspected of violating the law, it will definitely be a great pleasure.
No matter what side business the star is engaged in, keeping the moral and legal bottom line is the first priority.
For now, let's walk first.
Anyway, at present, the circle of friends should not see these micro-businesses.
But it also gives us a wake-up call, there is no project in the world that will become rich as soon as it joins.
Especially in recent years, celebrities rely on traffic to monetize, rely on people to set up money, and play advertising concepts.
Fans are not on the way to joining.
Like a serial set, similar to the same group of people, at the speed of one brand in half a year, sweeping one franchised family after another.
Of these, how many people make money and how many people are cut meat.
Therefore, star chasing should be cautious, and doing business needs to be calm.
Instead of hoping for small probability events, it is better to continue to grow step by step.
