Celebrities "cutting" fan leeks has long been not a rare thing in the entertainment industry.
But a couple was seized for "cutting leeks" for 96 properties.
They are Zhang Ting and his wife, who are now mired in the "pyramid scheme scandal".
In the past, Zhang Ting's career and love attracted much attention.
Not only did she have a husband who proposed to her nine times, but she also bought the building in Shanghai with the help of the micro-business industry.
However, since entering the micro-business industry, the reputation of Zhang Ting and his wife has continued to decline.
Up to now, it has even ended up with a "hasty escape".
Once a "fairy couple", to today's "rats crossing the street", how did Zhang Ting and his wife get to where they are today step by step?
01 Immortal couples with "similar smells"
Zhang Ting was born in a poor family in Taiwan, and her parents had a total of five children.
Her parents made a living from street stalls and often had to work late to support their family of seven.
Some teachers and classmates who "see the dishes on the plate" sometimes turn a cold eye on her from a poor background.
This encounter made Zhang Ting understand from a young age that people are defined by wealth.
Since then, she has made making money especially important.
And this view eventually made her a "slave" to money.
After graduating from junior high school, Zhang Ting became a kindergarten teacher.
With his excellent appearance, Zhang Ting, who is a kindergarten teacher, was favored by scouts and entered the entertainment industry.
And after stepping into the show business, Zhang Ting met her "true son", Lin Ruiyang.
Lin Ruiyang's family was originally very wealthy.
However, because of his father's failure in business, the family lived a life without a fixed place.
This huge sense of contrast brought about by rich to poor has also made Lin Ruiyang's view of money "distorted".
In order to make money, Lin Ruiyang did his best to "sneak and shoot horses" for a director and successfully entered the entertainment industry.
While filming the TV series "Golden Years", Lin Ruiyang met Zhang Ting.
Two "like-minded" young people fell in love as soon as they met.
According to what Lin Ruiyang said, the first time he saw Zhang Ting, he seemed to be hit by an electric current, and his body was numb.
Zhang Ting was like a glass of forgetful water, making Lin Ruiyang forget that his wife at home was still waiting.
Similarly, it also made him forget the "tiger-eyed" media outside.
When Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Tingjiao mixed together, they never shy away from the media's lenses.
This also made him and Zhang Ting instantly fall into the siege of public opinion.
One is a cheating scumbag, and the other is a junior who meddles in other people's marriages.
No matter how much they cry, they cannot obtain the forgiveness of the people.
However, the two are indeed "more in love than Jinjian", and even if they become the target of everyone, they have never thought of separating.
In order to make a comeback, they ran to the mainland hand in hand.
After arriving in the mainland, this pair of "talented and beautiful people" showed amazing economic acumen.
They have a "clear division of labor", one is responsible for "accumulating capital" and the other is responsible for "accumulating popularity".
Lin Ruiyang's side has made a lot of money in the real estate industry, and Zhang Ting's side, the career in the entertainment industry is also progressing smoothly.
With a film "Love Through Time and Space", Zhang Ting has become a well-known "dimple goddess" in the mainland.
After their careers were successful, the two also began to "remake" and struggled with "personalities".
In front of the public, Lin Ruiyang proposed to Zhang Ting a total of nine times, and Zhang Ting was very reserved in the first eight times and chose to refuse.
Some Taiwanese netizens commented on this: "Now I am so reserved, but when I was a junior, I was very open!"
However, the audience in the inland does not know much about the past of the two, but let Zhang Ting and his wife successfully shape the "affectionate" and "reserved" characters.
And this character also laid the foundation for the "success" of the "MLM business" of the two later.
02 TST Court Secret, Is it a secret to getting rich, or a pyramid scheme?
Although both of them have achieved certain achievements in their careers.
But the speed of making money does not satisfy their appetite at all.
It's only a matter of time before two "lust-stricken" people "hook up" and do something out of line.
In order to "get rich", Zhang Ting and his wife took the "essence" from MLM and integrated it into the most popular cosmetics in the micro-business industry.
and pulled up beautiful stars such as Lin Zhiling and Tao Hong to endorse their cosmetics.
As a result, TST Court Secret Cosmetics came into being.
At the beginning of the launch of TST, Zhang Ting and his wife had already aimed at their target group, Baoma.
And this starts with TST's "entrepreneurship" model.
As long as you have purchased TST cosmetics, you can become an agent of TST.
These agents earn money by buying goods in the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Zhang and selling their products.
And the more you sell, the greater the discount at the time of purchase, and the more you can eventually earn.
This kind of money-making method that can make money every day with your fingers and mouths attracts most of the entrants is Baoma.
Although many mothers have no income, they do not want to live a life of living expenses.
Many of them have a desire to share the stress of their families, but they are too busy with their children to get out.
When they learn about this kind of product that can both make money and make themselves beautiful, they will inevitably be moved.
So they all came down to become TST agents.
And after they entered the game, Zhang Ting and his wife showed their "fangs".
03 Lambs that are voluntarily "slaughtered"
In the eyes of these agents, they themselves are wholesalers who enjoy the benefits of the micro-business model and only have to bear very low risks.
In the eyes of Zhang Ting and his wife, they are lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Although Zhang Ting and his wife put forward the slogan of discouragement of hoarding, the system they introduced "forced" agents to stock up everywhere.
Although there is no threshold for becoming an agent, in order to maintain the identity of an agent, you need to drive at least 2,000 yuan of consumption per month.
Moreover, Zhang Ting and his wife also stipulated that as agents of TST, they are not allowed to act as agents of other products.
As a result, many people began to pay out of their own pockets and chose to stock up on agents to protect their agents.
Some TST court secret victims commented afterwards, "Even if it is a toad, it will be squeezed out of oil after entering the game." ”
But after squeezing out the oil and water, Zhang Ting and his wife were far from satisfied.
What they want is to make money from these agents for a long time.
In order to "cultivate" the "loyalty" of the agents, they resorted to two means.
One is brainwashing, and the other is drawing pies, and the two are often carried out at the same time.
For example, Zhang Ting and his wife will hold two cruise trips every year.
This move is to show the financial power to the agents, so that they have the illusion that the agent will have a high return on this product.
This is the painting pie.
On the cruise ship, Zhang Ting and his wife will also "brainwash" according to the "pyramid scheme" model.
For these agents, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang affectionately call them "family."
They claim that in this "big family" there are no superiors and subordinates.
As the "father" of this big family, Lin Ruiyang will encourage the agents.
The way to encourage is to touch and kiss.
Some "excellent" agents will also be rewarded with a bowl of porridge by Lin Ruiyang.
When these agents knelt on their knees and picked up this bowl of gruel, they were invisibly indoctrinated with the concept of "inferiority".
The people who have this concept have fallen into this "pyramid scheme" model.
Agents caught in "pyramid schemes" not only do not realize the "danger".
Instead, I was excited to get up close and personal with big stars.
But at a time when they are excited, behind them are already shaky families.
04 "Accumulated bones" under the business empire
In Lin Ruiyang's slogan, these agents will get rich together with their husband and wife.
But in fact, only Zhang Ting and his wife are really rich.
Because most of the company's earnings come from these agents.
TST itself focuses on micro-business agency, hierarchical "MLM" model.
And for cosmetics themselves, they did not put much effort into it.
Even some consumers have skin ulceration and other phenomena after use.
After this phenomenon was widely reported, Zhang Ting and his wife did not care too much.
Because there are agents who take the risk for them.
These agents often stock up on a lot of cosmetics.
What's more, in order to improve their agent level, they took out their life savings to stock up.
And after the product thunderstorm, it is difficult to sell it again, and they can only watch the cosmetics deteriorate.
These spoiled cosmetics are actually their blood and sweat.
Many people have lost their families and even faced the situation of family ruin.
Some mothers participated in "entrepreneurship" with good intentions, but ended up with broken families.
The savings they saved with food and frugality eventually ended up in the hands of Zhang Ting and his wife, and they squandered them wantonly.
Not only did they live in a mansion, they also bought a building in Shanghai.
According to Zhang Ting himself, the cost of this building reached an exaggerated 2.5 billion.
And such a luxurious building, Zhang Ting waved his hand and gave a floor to his girlfriend.
For her girlfriend, Zhang Ting is so generous, but for her "family", she is very determined.
An agent "family" once took advantage of a vulnerability in TST Ting's secret software to "scavenge wool" on Zhang Ting and his wife's company.
This "family member" was personally sent to prison by Zhang Ting and his wife.
After the agent was sent to prison, his wife turned around and participated in the joint report against Zhang Ting and his wife.
The crowd gathered firewood and the flame was high.
Zhang Ting and his wife finally achieved the end they deserved.
05 Good and evil will be rewarded in the end
In May 2021, someone initiated an anonymous whistleblowing against the TST court.
After receiving the report, the police immediately launched an investigation into TST's secret parent company, Shanghai Dalwei Trading Co., Ltd.
Eventually, the company was determined to be suspected of pyramid schemes.
After being characterized as a pyramid scheme, the building of Zhang Ting and his wife was immediately sealed by the police.
The hundreds of millions of funds involved in the case have also been frozen.
The company's illegal income was handed over, while Zhang Ting and others faced a fine of 11.3 billion yuan.
At this point, Zhang Ting and his wife finally paid the price for their invincibility.
epilogue
After the incident, Zhang Ting and his wife immediately chose to disappear.
However, the two of them did not stop, but went to Malaysia to give a speech.
But you must know that the legal net has not been leaked.
The case of Zhang Ting and his wife is suspected of a huge amount of money, and the group involved is also very large, so it will take a certain amount of time to investigate.
Today's Zhang Ting and his wife are just "surviving".
After their "ugly" and "greedy" faces were exposed in front of everyone, the couple became the target of "crusades" by netizens.
The invincible Zhang Ting couple, using pyramid schemes to make money, has long come to an end.
