What is the principle of MLM brainwashing? Why can it be brainwashed?

This year I was invited by a female friend to go to Zhengdong New District, Henan, to worship the city. I arrived at night, and she took me to the house she and her family rented (I visited her house When her mother arrived, the house had two bedrooms and one living room). I slept there for one night. Her mother left very early the next morning because she slept with her mother. After her mother left, we had sex. When she was done, she asked me to go to dinner and took me with her after dinner. I walked downstairs and said I was going to stay with her sister for a while. I thought she was her friend. Go there. After I got in, she called me Wujinsan, director, boss, 1040 Sunshine Project, or something like that. I thought it was a pyramid scheme. Later, her mother said that she would help her understand. After that, there was nothing wrong with her. She even cooked for me and had the girl sleep with her. Haha, I stayed there for five days. I had two classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon. Each class lasted an hour. Later, I was asked to read in public. One night, I asked a boss who drove a BMW to take me to Kaifeng for a while. But then I couldn’t stand it anymore and I couldn’t persuade my friends anymore, so She said she didn’t want to attend the class anymore. I said I came here to have fun with you and not to attend the class. She told her mother that we would go to Zhengzhou to play in the afternoon. I was so depressed that I might as well go to the class. In Zhengzhou Playing all afternoon cost me one thousand. Alas, I thought about it later and asked for it. She left at around four o'clock the next morning. She took me to the train station and asked me for another fifty before leaving. I asked for 1 yuan for the taxi fare back home, but I forgot to bring the money. Later, we just let it go. We refused to listen to any advice, and only thought about getting into the boss. I think I tried my best, but now we don’t contact each other.

What is MLM?

MLM means that the organizer or operator develops people by calculating and paying remuneration to the people being developed based on the number of people they directly or indirectly develop or their sales performance, or requiring the people being developed to pay a certain amount It is an illegal act to obtain wealth through fee-based conditions to obtain membership qualifications.

Why can MLM brainwash people?

1. Give you a dream, an unrealistic dream, such as letting you become the person you want to be in a short time and realize your dream.

Because the MLM organization is very hard, so they will tell you some success stories. For example, who is successful, but what did he do before he succeeded?

2. In MLM, they will help you with your life. As the name suggests, they help each other, make you feel warmer than home, and arrange for people to chat with you.

3. They engage in some activities whenever they have the opportunity. They encourage the deceived people to exercise their abilities in the name of their dreams.

4. After you are tricked there, within 10 days, they will instill a 5-level promotion system into you. If they fail to brainwash you successfully after 10 days, then you will meet their boss and ask them to continue brainwashing you until they succeed.

5. They will not say that they are a pyramid scheme, but they will say that they are doing direct sales. They enter in the form of a franchise and require you to pay a franchise fee of 3800.

6. Many people there are very eloquent and eloquent! Their words were inflammatory. If you have listened to Chen Anzhi’s course. You can feel that they can inspire others like Chen Anzhi and so on.

I was successfully brainwashed in this way

For example, in November 2012, my colleagues and I went undercover in the Sun City Community in Helan County, Yinchuan, Ningxia. Zhao Zuohai, who is doing pyramid schemes with state compensation, is also in this system. At that time, I came into contact with many successful people in the MLM system, and also witnessed how many new people were brainwashed step by step. MLM leaders like to advocate hatred of the rich. On the one hand, they exaggerate "Western economic aggression" to enhance internal cohesion. On the other hand, they maintain lies by forging "national policies" and blocking noise through punishment. In addition, they also like to create idols, such as finding a successful person who drives a BMW, lives in a mansion, and wears a thick gold chain around his neck, and then tells you that this person used to be a sanitation worker.

The online people who recruit people are also very particular. At that time, I watched helplessly how a college student was brainwashed. Let’s call that college student Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin is from Nanyang, Henan Province. He failed to find a job after graduating from college, and was later taken to Helan County for inspection by his fellow villagers. The first lesson when entering MLM is to give you a dream when you go online. For example, the MLM in Helan County gives newcomers a dream of spending 3,800 yuan and giving you 3.8 million in return.

When people are frustrated, few people can resist the temptation of desire. Of course, in order to better tempt you, MLM members must first send you warmth. In MLM, they call each other family.

Before the class starts, someone will usually take you to visit the sacred objects of MLM, such as taking you to local landmarks and interpreting the meaning of the landmarks for you. Xinlan Square is a famous landmark in Helan County. The square is also a holy place that everyone who joins the "system" must visit. This is indeed a holy place that the "system" has rebuilt according to their lies. The person who pulls you will tell you that everything here comes from the "pyramid scheme" arrangement. The east side has lush trees and the west side is very sparse. The implication is that there are more people in the east and fewer people in the west and fewer resources. People in the east must be supported. In the west; the TV in the square costs 600 yuan, which means that you can go to the platform with 600 copies; the clock tower on the east side of the square has a number "19" written on it, which implies that the "senior salesman" can only be eliminated after taking 19 copies.

In addition, it is different from the MLM that most people think of. The MLM here treats you like a VIP, treating you to meals and paying your car fare.

As a young man who has just entered society, Xiaolin has never felt such warmth. His first impression is that he has found the feeling of home.

The core model of the MLM here is that as long as you invest 3,800 yuan, you can obtain the registration qualification of the "system", and then you can introduce two people to join. After that, according to the development method of geometric series doubling, your downlines will be more and more. According to the number of shares in one's name, the level is also divided into 5 levels from low to high, from intern salesman, business team leader, business director, business manager to "going on the platform" to become a senior salesman, and then on the platform. At level three, you can hatch out and get 3.8 million in cash.

In addition, hatred of rich people is also the main method used by pyramid schemes. MLM members will continue to explain to you, "The gap between the rich and the poor in our country is too big. The rich don't care about the lives of the poor. They often eat up our annual income in one meal." To incite, the poor should Be self-reliant and unite to become rich and join the middle class. "Do you know that the country will be stable only when the number of middle class is large?"

In order to prove that the cause you are involved in is great and correct, MLM is generally We will also get some celebrities to endorse. Back then, Zhao Zuohai was also used as an endorsement by MLM as a business card to attract people. In the MLM organization where I worked undercover, they also introduced me to some high-end "family members". For example, a certain industrial and commercial director, a certain civil affairs director, a university professor, and news figures.

My observation is that it is difficult for a normal person to pick out MLMs after joining them. MLM people generally live in groups and live in a community. Here, basically everyone you come into contact with is discussing the great cause that this country secretly supports. It’s also hard to believe that tens of thousands of people are living a lie. Slowly, people around you discuss it more and more, and you take it seriously.

My brother also joined MLM in Kunlun Mountains, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia. He was also deceived by a girl online. She took advantage of my brother's feelings. My brother also called me over and said he was engaged in coal mining there and asked me to bring 3,000 yuan. I felt something was wrong in the past, when seven or eight people lived in one room. Some people even shook hands when they came. I also attended classes there for two days. It is said that it is a national poverty alleviation project for the local direct selling industry. It sells cosmetics and is a Tianxi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. in Guangdong. It is said that there are 300,000 people doing this in Baotou. What are the three business methods and five levels? Salesperson, supervisor, director, manager, general manager. Anyone who joins must apply for a business license, which costs 2,900 yuan. We can do twelve or twenty-four. If you do one for 2,900 yuan, I will give you 2.9 million yuan after one year. What a concept! I thought at that time that there was no such thing as a pie in the world. I tried to persuade my brother not to believe it, but he didn’t believe it no matter what I said. He has been here for half a year and has paid 40,000 yuan. But this is the money lent to him by his family.

I'm so depressed. Why do so many people believe this when it's such an obvious scam? I came back and concluded that these people are taking advantage of the victims' mentality of wanting to make more money, those whose families are in difficulty, and who have no legal awareness. These people use commercial brainwashing, taking advantage of emotions and those who can make more money so that their families can live a good life. well. . . . . .

Please remember, if you fall in love with an MLM girl, you will die miserably! ! !

Let me write about my experience of being scammed from April this year to now. The girl who lied to me is from Baiwei Town, Shanglin County, Nanning, Guangxi. . I've been thinking lately about whether I should explode her market.

Qianzhen was invited by a friend to go to Changsha Yuehu Resettlement Community. After arriving, I found out that my friend was doing pyramid schemes here. . . Heartache! After suffering for several months, I finally remembered to post in Tianya.

Let me write about my experience. I hope it can help others who have been victims of MLM.

I was resting at home some time ago and accidentally met my middle school female classmate on the Internet. After a long separation, we had a pleasant conversation. After asking, I found out that my classmate was still single, so I wanted to pursue my classmate. In the days to come, I deliberately started talking to my boyfriend and girlfriend. My classmate was also quite cheerful and accepted me, and our relationship progressed smoothly. By April, we had become husband and wife. When they were dating, she said that she was working in Changsha, Hunan and had only been there for more than half a year. At that time, I was wondering how she could go to Changsha to work when she was working well in Guangdong. As far as I know, Changsha doesn't have any particularly good friends. It's very unreliable to just run over there out of thin air. I asked her why she was still running around when she was no longer a child. It was serious to accumulate things in a city. She said the work and environment here are good, and she said I would just come and take a look when I have time.

In fact, there are many reports on official corruption in Hunan. I simply don’t believe that Hunan has more opportunities than Guangdong. But I have never been there, and I thought my friend was very strange. At that time, I was a little suspicious of whether she was doing a pyramid scheme here. But I think she can't be that stupid.

We have been traveling for many years, and we haven’t seen each other for several years. In early April, I told her that I was going to see her. I had already started working and didn't have much time. I originally planned to see her for a day or two and then go home. But she said, if you want to come, just come for a few more days, and if you don't have enough time, don't come. I was surprised, I wonder if you need to stay that long. . . She said that we both chat online and haven't seen each other for many years. Now we don't know whether we are suitable or not. We need to live together for a while. It is best to have about a month for them to understand each other. Next first. I wanted to see her at that time, so I told her vaguely that it was okay.

I took leave and went to Changsha at the beginning of April. When I arrived at Changsha South Railway Station around 10 o'clock that night, she and one of her best friends came to pick me up. I brought a box of flowers, and she looked very happy. It turned out that when I gave her something, she told me that she lived in District B of Wohu City, but when I went there that night I found out that she lived in Yuehu Community.

I only realized later that it was the second phase of the Yuehu Resettlement Community. Judging from the Internet, there should be many netizens who have been deceived there. The Yuehu Community now has its fourth phase. There are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Fortune Garden, Welsh Spring, and Malan Mountain nearby. These are all gathering places for pyramid schemes.

They live in a residential house with three bedrooms, one bathroom and one kitchen. That night she let me stay in her room, which was quite shabby and didn't even have a chair. She made do with a few other girls in another room. I later suspected that the room I stayed in was the room they specially used to entertain newlyweds. Because the whole house has three rooms, a couple lives in one room, and the other room is occupied by three people. This room is small and can only accommodate one person normally. When new people come, they will naturally stay in this room.

He took me out to play the next day, saying that he was going to Orange Island. After a day of playing, the two types of guild halls there were programs. At that time, my friend said that each person only had three opportunities to visit. Her opportunity had been used up and she couldn't go in. She asked me to go by myself. I was not interested in these, so I didn't go in to see it.

Go home that night and buy food and cook for yourself. Originally, I planned to eat out, but my friend insisted on eating at home. I thought she was quite frugal at the time, but I didn't know she had other plans.

After dinner, my friend said she would take me to meet her friend. I still thought she took me very seriously. . . When you fall in love, let your friends review it.

Only after I went there did I realize that the person I wanted to meet was a man, I think his name was Brother Feng, and he was from Chaoshan. This man was in Shenzhen before, and his wife later brought him here, but the child was in Shenzhen. Most Chaoshan people are good at blowing water, and wear a huge gold ring (I thought he was very rustic at the time, but later I realized that he must be a big manager, probably my friend directly online or something like that, the big one inside Managers wear gold and silver to show to fools). At that time, we were casually chatting about family matters and how to be a human being, and he spoke eloquently. I had never seen such a situation before, so I just followed him and my friend was wearing the latest nodding machine next to him. During the chat, Brother Feng said in a confused way that he felt that there was no MLM in the world. . . I was so surprised at the time. He obviously meant this to me. What did he mean? I replied to him that there must be MLM, which is a kind of thought control, just like the thought control of the Nazi dictatorship, etc. He said, do your parents control your thoughts? Being nice to you is not called thought control. At that time, I thought I just went to sit with my friend and there was no need to argue with him, so I just laughed.

I went to the museum the next day. Anyone who has taken a seven-day brainwashing package knows that this is also a must-play. The man and woman they lived with at the time also said they wanted to go to the library over there and wanted to go together. I was very puzzled at the time, these two light bulbs were so annoying. Play until the afternoon and invite them to have dinner together. After dinner, I said I wanted to watch a movie and took my friend away. When I go back in the evening, they are all there, playing cards with me and running fast.

That night, when my friend was messing with the flowers I gave her, she looked at me with a blushing face and said that she wanted me to go see her work the next day, how to calculate wages, etc. I was so surprised at the time, it wasn't necessary. . . But since she said so, it doesn't hurt for me to take a look.

Forgot to mention, here in the morning they either eat vermicelli or boiled noodles, which is terrible.

I went to visit her friend early on the third day. It was a thirty-two-year-old girl who introduced me to the five-level and three-promotion system. I thought it was a pyramid scheme at first glance. . . She also asked me if I thought this was a pyramid scheme? I was still hesitating because of my face, but she said, I just thought it was a pyramid scheme. I wipe. . I didn't know how to deal with it at that time. . This girl's surname seems to be Feng, but it's been too long and I can't remember clearly. After talking for an hour and a half, we went to visit the second house. Every time, my friend would make a phone call downstairs, and then go up and knock on the door. After entering, we would drink tea. I would sit behind the coffee table in the master's seat, and the other party would sit opposite the coffee table. There were small stools for guests, and they made tea for us, while our friends helped us. . . The second person I visited seemed to be named Brother Gang. He was a man and he mainly talked about the legality of the industry.

It’s not like I haven’t seen the world since I came out. I knew this was a pyramid scheme, so I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I said I had a severe stomachache and wanted to go home.

After lunch, my friend wanted to take me to catch up on what I had not finished. . . I was very desperate at the time and told my friends that I was going to get something. I was very sad at the time, so I packed up my things in my room and went out with my back on my back. They were all stunned. . . I called my friend's name and said I was leaving and you could see me off. My friend took a taxi with me to the train station. . . I persuaded my friend for a long time at the train station, telling her that this was a pyramid scheme, but my friend insisted that it was not. I was so angry that I took the train home.

After coming back, I kept trying to persuade her on the phone, but to no avail. Later, I searched online and joined many anti-MLM QQ groups. Gradually I learned a lot about the inside story of MLM. Here I would like to advertise Yi Tie's Chuanshendu. Yi Tie's article is very neutral and has a very in-depth analysis. Personally, I think he is the best anti-passion article author I have ever encountered.

In fact, I also knew that there were special anti-MLM people before, but I never thought that I would one day ask for help from them. Later, I asked a lot of anti-MLM people in the QQ group, and they all said that my appearance was an online invitation. This situation was purely a trick of MLM women, and there was no emotion in it, so they told me to give up. . . I was in too deep and was unwilling to give up, but was there anything I could do? . .

I have been wandering in the QQ counter-propagation group for a long time and have made many friends. Everyone complains about MLM experiences, vents their inner feelings, and exchanges knowledge about MLM. Now the sequelae of MLM have been cured. A lot, so I finally decided to write this down as a reference for friends who have been victims of MLM. I hope that friends who have just been victims of MLM will read it and it will be helpful to get out of it.

As for my friend, I really don’t know how much she lied to me. Maybe there is a little bit of emotion, maybe not at all. Even if there is, it is definitely very shallow. After being brainwashed by MLM, these people have basically strayed away from the values ????of the normal world. They can no longer distinguish between deception and sincerity, and they don’t even blush when they lie. I will gradually increase her market share and tell all her relatives, friends and colleagues that she is doing MLM and be sure not to stick to her. She will definitely hate me forever. It doesn't matter, this will at least speed up the possibility of her awakening if she can't continue.

I established a group a while ago, hoping to communicate with friends who have had the same experience in Yuehu Community. If you are interested, you can join the Penguin community: Wuqi Ping Ping Ping Er Qi Si, mutual comminicate.

The following is my own understanding, please write it down to inspire others:

1. If a relative or friend suddenly invites you to visit other provinces for a few days, or to inspect business, or introduce jobs, especially During the holidays, be careful, it may be a pyramid scheme. Check online to see if their destination is a pyramid scheme. For example, Changsha Yuehu Community is a famous MLM den.

2. If you find that a relative or friend has joined a pyramid scheme, you must try to inform all her relatives and friends and do not lend money to him. This action must be quick.

3. Older girls must be careful when seeking marriage online. I met several girls in the QQ group, and they were all deceived and played by MLM bosses through Jiayuan Drinking Lily. Yi Tie wrote an article about the life of pyramid sellers after the boss. Most of them already knew about the scam. Under great pressure, most of them relied on debauchery to relieve the pressure. There are too many tricks to learn in the industry, and those who cheat girls on dating websites are easy to catch.

4. Don’t think that just because the boss shows you the real estate certificate or the driving license, you think they are genuine. After being hired as an A1 boss, the top bosses will immediately come out to package them. The top bosses will jointly open a financial company to help the new bosses get loans to buy houses and cars. This is the phenomenon that everyone has seen that new bosses immediately buy cars and houses. . Many new bosses buy cars and houses right after they become bosses. Normal people would think, isn’t this too deliberate? Even if a person becomes a boss, they normally don’t have that much money to buy a car or a house right away. People in their industry say this , it’s good to be able to earn one or two hundred thousand before becoming a boss. Only after becoming a boss can you have a monthly salary of more than 100,000. Even if you do, it will take a year to buy a house in full. . . My friend just saw other people buying houses and BMWs, and he was extremely jealous, and he became more determined to join the industry. Her family used to take out a loan to buy a house, and the real estate certificate was mortgaged in the bank. Now when she saw someone else's boss had the real estate certificate in hand, she thought it was a house bought with full payment. Little did she know that these days, there is no need to mortgage the real estate certificate when buying a house with a loan. Banks don’t come like this anymore.

5. If you are an ordinary person, even if you do it stupidly, the boss will not make money. If you are not a trader or a core member, why would others give you the money they have worked so hard to defraud? This principle is the same everywhere.

6. People who go to the general manager will also ask their relatives to come and sit with them. They often say, those people who go to the general manager also invite their relatives to come over. Are they fools? There are various reasons for this phenomenon. Some are industry requirements, some are the placement of informants to control the group, and some are stupid people who still get deceived after being hired by the boss. Some people who make less money think that the industry is just like this. They are used to being deceived by the industry and feel that This is how the industry works.

7. Over in Yuehu, if you have relatives who are doing pyramid schemes, it will be difficult to bring them with you and take them home directly. Some people once brought their family members in to arrest people for pyramid schemes. More than a hundred people came out and blocked the downstairs to prevent them from leaving. Later, they called the police and saw their household registration books and marriage certificates before taking them out.

8. From my own understanding, I feel that the MLM organization in Changsha Yuehu is a low-quality MLM organization, but it may be a little better than the one in Hefei. The MLM over there must be branching out, and I can’t guess which city they are branching out to right now.

9. Generally speaking, the success rate of online invitations is relatively low, but there are already signs of such development in Yuehu. Baidu seems to have several people who have been offered online. I met a girl from Guangxi in a group before, and she said that she had invited her online when she was in Guangxi, and the boys who invited her liked her very much. But in the end it was not done. Her boyfriend was also there at the time, and she didn't feel it was a lie when she was doing this, because everyone was doing it, and there was nothing shameful about it. Under normal circumstances, only people who can't get offline and don't want to give up will make online invitations, but it seems to be different here in Yuehu. Maybe some pretty people will make emotional invitations. The good thing is that it costs less if it doesn't work out. If a girl invites you emotionally, it will definitely be a boy who pays for it, so there is no investment. If you invite ordinary friends over, they will have all-inclusive food, accommodation and transportation.

Let’s just write it here for now, and I’ll add more later if I think of anything.

Let me talk about direct selling here. Direct selling can be said to be pyramid selling in disguise. So, friends who are doing it, don’t rush to refute it. Take a serious look, it can help you get out of the sea of ??suffering! Because of the influence of MLM, people will be attracted to direct selling when they first come into contact with it, because unlike MLM, direct selling has actual items, but the routine is exactly the same as MLM! Including micro-business, they are all products that cannot be sold, which is exactly the same as no items, and they are all offline through development. In fact, they cannot sell anything. They are all deceiving people one by one, and the routines are the same. They tell you to sell this. How much money is made, and then I send my own shipping orders, you pay the money, and I give you the resources, but you will definitely not be able to sell them, and then they say that you don’t understand when you first come here, take your time, and then tell you to develop and go offline! If you are doing direct selling and micro-business, please stop doing it, it is really disgusting

People hate the mention of MLM. MLM has been a product for many years.

MLM harms others.

MLM is to organize people to deceive relatives and friends to collect money to develop downlines, and then let the downlines develop people and make profits from it.

1. Why are MLM personnel highly educated?

MLM personnel are generally composed of college students with relatively high academic qualifications. Why are many college students who have received very high standards of higher education still easily brainwashed by MLM organizations? Why is MLM so attractive?

2. MLM "pies" and beautifully woven lies.

Beautiful lies and "pies" spun by MLM organizations. Talking about earning one million a year is definitely not a dream.

Many college students.

(1) He has not graduated.

(2) I have no contact with society, have little experience, and have little experience.

(3) They accept new things quickly.

(4) I haven’t found a job and just want to make a lot of money.

(5) Young and impulsive.

(6) I am confused by the beautiful "dream" they weave.

3. Being deceived by MLM organizations.

Once you get into the MLM organization's "stuffing well", you will.

(1) Brainwashed by them.

(2) Loss of personal freedom, confiscate your mobile phone and other things that can be contacted, and control your personal freedom.

(3) Development offline.

(4) You can only deceive classmates, relatives and friends.

4. MLM is easy to get in and hard to get out.

Once you fall into the MLM group, it is easy to get in, as long as you get the money to enter.

But it’s hard to quit. Because the MLM organization is very strict and will not let you escape.

First they brainwash you into believing. Then let you develop offline and make money.

5. MLM is a scam.

MLM is pure deceptive nonsense, and how many people have been deceived.

How many people have broken up their families and their families have been separated.

I would like to advise people to keep their eyes open and ask more questions why. Don't be fooled by online sales.

I have been in MLM for more than a year, and I dare not say that I fully understand the inside story of MLM, but it is really harmful. Let me talk about what I know about MLM. I was deceived by netizens in the name of online dating. When I went there, I knew it was a MLM, but I couldn't let go of that boy. I thought he was so kind to me, but in fact he was kind to me for a purpose, just to want me to join him. Then I accompany me and pamper me in various ways every day, and I feel very happy! I naively thought that it didn’t matter what I did with him! Other people are also very enthusiastic and tell you that we are all a family here, unlike the intrigues in society. Every day I just play around, play games, tell jokes, and have a lot of fun. Once the money is paid, these people immediately change their faces. The dirty and ugly side of human nature has come out. If you want to make money, you have to recruit people. Because there is no income, I have to eat very light every day, there is no oil and water, and I am so hungry! It was safer for me to be ugly. Some of the good-looking girls we were with got pregnant, and they were taken to black spots for abortions. It was really miserable. I saw with my own eyes that a good family was torn apart. It has a very mysterious set of things, and you can know certain things at a certain level. I have never been able to do it due to my lack of connections, so the things I know are very limited, so they gave up on me. When you reach a certain level, it means that you have deceived a lot of people. At this time, you are already riding a tiger.
