Beware of "cloud farming", "cloud planting", and "cloud vegetable planting"! The illegal fundraising activities disguised as "cloud farming economy" only require a small service fee to be paid online, and the ranch can raise cattle on behalf of them and help sell them for profit. Surprisingly, there is such a good business that can kill two birds with one stone? The Shanghai public security organ found that Zhang and others claimed to have cattle ranches in Australia, and developed a new operation model of "Internet plus+industrial cluster development", which can package cattle raising into financial products. Only online investment and adoption can obtain 6% -12% of the breeding income. By chance, Mr. Wu came across a promotional video produced by Zhang's team on the internet. With a trial and error mindset, he began his journey of "cloud cattle farming" at a price of 5000 yuan per head. A month later, Mr. Wu successfully received the repurchase payment and rebate, which completely put down his guard. Over the next year, Mr. Wu invested 3 million yuan and adopted 600 cows. But the good times didn't last long. When Mr. Wu logged into his account again, he found that 3 million yuan worth of cattle had been split into beef and sold on the platform without being informed. Mr. Wu realized that he might have been deceived and chose to call the police. The ranch is rented, the cows are borrowed, and the scenes in the promotional video are all fictional According to Liu Changyuan, a police officer from the Economic Investigation Detachment of the Xuhui Branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, Zhang's team claimed in a promotional video that every cow has insurance and hired a professional team with rich breeding experience to settle in the ranch. Investors can remotely and real-time monitor the health status of the cows in the ranch. When investors decide not to continue investing, the platform can repurchase the ownership of the cow at the original price. However, all of this is a carefully crafted scam. After the platform's funding chain became tight, investors were forced by the platform to repurchase the cows in their accounts without being informed, and all of them were converted into beef exchange quotas. When the investor proposed to withdraw all the beef, the customer service representative also stated that such a large amount of beef was difficult to transport. They could sell the beef shares through the platform at a price ranging from 200 yuan to 300 yuan per kilogram, and withdraw after the sale. However, in the end, this investment was doomed to go bankrupt. Recently, such "cloud farming economy" as "cloud farming", "cloud planting" and "cloud vegetable growing" has become popular on the Internet. Most of the funds illegally absorbed by 'cloud economy' platforms are in personal or third-party affiliated accounts, which are highly concealed and difficult to effectively supervise. Investors find it difficult to track the true whereabouts of the funds, recover the stolen and damaged assets, and recover the principal. "Chen Yong, Deputy Chief of the Economic Investigation Team of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, said," This type of 'cloud economy' business model has deviated from the essence of commodity trading, and has been transformed from normal sales behavior to illegal fundraising behavior that pursues high returns. The security of funds cannot be guaranteed, and related risks need to be vigilant. "The police remind that there are many illegal fundraising crimes disguised as' cloud economy 'and' new agriculture '. Investors should be vigilant, strengthen the screening of the qualifications of business entities, and can be achieved through government disclosure. Search for the business qualifications of relevant enterprises on the website or relevant regulatory authorities. Before investing, it is necessary to fully understand the background and regulations of the industry, compare the investment and operation models promoted by the project with the industry's common business models, fully consider the rationality and compliance of the project, carefully evaluate whether the investment return promised by the project is reasonable, and whether the income and investment are in proportion. Do not trust projects that are significantly higher than the industry's normal income. (New Society)
