When I was writing about the running of Chinese gold stores and the running of early education institutions such as Gymboree and Meijim, I found a particularly interesting thing.
Although the companies and industries they belong to are different, their running routines are exactly the same.
After reading today's Weibo hot search, Azu finally found the answer, it turned out that there were people who specialized in helping these companies roll up money and run away, and the name of this profession is:
Professional closed-store.
Early education institutions such as Gymboree and Meijim can successfully roll up money and run away without bearing legal responsibility, and it is they who operate behind it.
Dismissing employees, rebuilding customer service teams, lowering consumer expectations, and inducing acceptance of unfair solutions are important tasks for these professional closures.
ONE
Before helping the early education institution run away, the team of professional store closers generally helps them plan a preferential promotion to earn the last wave of recharge.
After the money is in hand, the corporate legal person is replaced by a person who is unable to repay.
In January this year, the operating entities of Beijing Gymboree, Tianjin Gymboree, and Shanghai Gymboree successively changed their legal representative to Chen Xiongsheng, a 53-year-old man from a village in Huidong County, Huizhou, Guangdong.
When the reporter questioned the legal risks of the above-mentioned operation, these professional closed-door people swore that the debtor would be able to get out of the way.
"The corporate shareholders of the company are not you anymore, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
"You're 100 percent not going to jail because you don't meet the criminal risk, then we go back to the civil risk. What I just said is that it will not help you avoid full civil risks. But if there is no one to make trouble offline, then your risk will be infinitely low. ”
The grasp of legal loopholes by these professional closers must be praised even for the arrival of extralegal fanatics.
They are not only well versed in laws and regulations, but also have a thorough understanding of consumer psychology.
The next step after changing legal entities is to deal with emotional consumers.
In an interview with reporters, a professional shopkeeper in Nanjing said:
"We understand consumers as a group of people. They will be bound together because of interests, and they will be separated because of interests, maybe you can accept 500 yuan, he can accept 300 yuan. Then the consumer demographic may be divided into different teams. Then your risk is gone. ”
Of course, not all consumers are so obedient, and there are certainly consumers who take them to court.
For this, they are not afraid at all. Even tell consumers:
"You must have won the lawsuit, we did breach the contract, but we didn't have the money. ”
It means to sue casually, you take my way!
It's really a lack of virtue and smoke!
Two
Professional store closures are not unilateral operations, behind them, there are also debt intermediaries, financial bridges and other supporting organizations.
Debt intermediaries work with professional closure teams to provide them with eligible debtors.
"Find a person with a better credit report to cover your debts. Give this legal person to him, member refund or something, if anyone helps you top, let him go to whom. ”
In an unannounced interview with reporters, the debt intermediary introduced that the cost of a debtor is approximately:
400,000 yuan.
During the negotiation stage, the intermediary will show the borrower's ID photo and video of the day to the consumer.
Quite professional.
The profits of professional closure for the skin of the tiger are also considerable.
From employee negotiations, to the government, to the streets, to the transfer of classes, all of them are done, and the cost is 50,000 yuan per store.
If the change of legal entity is included, the fee is 120,000.
There are also professional closure teams that charge on a debt-based basis, typically ranging from 5% to 10% of the total debt.
With a ratio of 5% to 10%, dispose of millions and tens of millions of debts, for those early education institutions and gold stores who are ready to run away, why not.
With such a professional team, it is no wonder that the person in charge of the China Gold Concept Store in Beijing Shuangjing R&F Plaza is detained, but the real beneficiaries can still be bouncing around.
The behavior of professional store closures has caused dissatisfaction among many netizens. Thinks the police should crack down.
It's not that the police don't want to crack down, it's just that they're limited by the current laws and regulations.
When an enterprise goes bankrupt, it must be the corporate shareholder who bears the responsibility, but the debt-bearing team has replaced the legal person.
However, the review of the new company law of the mainland for the change of legal person is only a formal change. There is no change of actual control.
In this case, someone would use the clause to infringe on the public interest.
Some experts believe that an information review system should be established for the paid industry to make company operations and changes traceable.
The public security organs should consider cracking down on the criminal offense of "contract fraud".
Lu Laiming, a professor at the Law School of Beijing Technology and Business University, gave a good point of view, which relevant departments can learn from:
"If it is confirmed that it is indeed not a long time before the store is closed, then there is a wave of promotions, and then it runs away. If there is such an act, it should still be criminally punished. It should be obvious in this overall chain that it is a fraud. It is impossible to list all the phenomena in the provisions of the crime of fraud, and it is sufficient to conform to the characteristics of its essential behavior. The public security department should file a case based on this act. ”
