Entrepreneurship

There are risks. We need to be cautious when we go to sea.

It is not uncommon for entrepreneurs to be tricked overnight.

The following are analyzed by typical senior entrepreneurs guidance expert Professor Xia Dinghai and Professor Zheng Younan for typical cases.


  

financing

Fraud


Case: Mr. Yu invested in a small business in 2002. Today, the momentum of business development is quite good, but with limited funds, he wants to expand business through financing.

He has found many Vc firm and investment intermediary companies successively.

Some investors looked at the small scale of the company and rejected it. Some received the project information, but they never responded.

When Mr. Yu lost his confidence, an investment company finally expressed interest.

The company claims to be a Vc firm under a large state-owned enterprise. Its staff is composed of project Commissioner, assistant, deputy general and director. It has a very detailed and well received comment on Mr. Yu's project.

The director of investment department also said, "make friends first, then do projects".

Mr. Yu is very moved, so in the investment company to examine the authenticity of the project and the usual practice by the project to prepay the time, he has no precaution.

Shortly after the money was sent out, the phone number of the investment company and the mobile phone number of the chief investment officer were completely empty.


It is believed that financing means money for others, but not for liars. In fact, the clever fraudsters will take advantage of some entrepreneurs' eagerly looking for the rice pot mentality, so that entrepreneurs will feel that they have met the "noble". They will boast of their company size and specialization so as to gain the trust of entrepreneurs, and then praise the financing projects. Finally, they will cheat the inspection fees and public relations fees in the name of investigation projects, and then disappear after the charges. Therefore, the financiers should look for regular investment companies. In addition to carrying out a full investigation of the background of investment companies, they need to remain vigilant, especially with regard to various payment requirements, and ask more questions why, if necessary, legal contracts can be used to protect their interests. Comment: many entrepreneurs


  

cooperation

Fraud


Case: Mr. Li has set up a company specializing in agency business. He thought that money pactions were all in and out of home. He only received agency fees after the completion of the paction.

One day, Mr. Lee received a "cooperation" call from the business manager of Hubei Zhenxing industrial general company, who entrusted him as the "fist product" of the company, the general agent of polymer purification membrane in Southern China area, and subsequently sent detailed information (including product description, product catalogue, copy of organization code card, polymer purification membrane sales supplement instruction, etc.).

Mr. Li saw that the procedures were complete, and he published relevant information on the professional website. After a few days, there was an echo. A farmer in Guangdong called for a 4000 meter polymer membrane, which amounted to 270 thousand yuan.

Mr. Li estimated that the paction itself could earn tens of thousands of yuan agent fees, and immediately contacted with his home.

The house promised quickly, but needed immediate payment.

When Mr. Li informed him that he had left home, the other side immediately sent over a deposit of 10000 yuan. He said he was too busy. He needed Mr. Li to help him take the goods first and then pay the delivery fee afterwards.

Mr. Li did not want to give up the "fat meat". He helped pick up the goods and paid for the goods, but all second days had changed.


Comment: This is a typical case of "even fraud". It is a typical case of "fraud". It is mainly for entrepreneurs who engage in agents, intermediaries, consulting and other businesses. If they encounter "good deeds" coming from home and downstream, they must be careful. First, we must maintain a good attitude towards this kind of deception, and then calmly investigate the upper and lower families. First, we have a clear understanding of the strength of the suppliers, the supply capacity and the quality of the products. In particular, we need to put forward some minor professional problems and examine whether they are responsive. Two, if the next family is a large list of hundreds of thousands of dollars without hesitation, it should be cautious.


  

network

Fraud


Comment:

Electronic Commerce

Though fast and convenient, it is more risky than traditional trading methods.

Some illegal elements are using high-tech to pplant flowers and trees, and borrow the names of regular enterprises to deceive.

Many entrepreneurs are deceived because they are not familiar with the operation mode and characteristics of e-commerce.

In fact, the Internet is only a medium for pactions. After obtaining business information through the Internet, entrepreneurs should conduct a survey under the net.

In particular, it is very necessary to conduct on-site investigations in person, especially in highly profitable projects and large business lists.

If conditions permit, investment and legal experts can be checked.

In addition, internet pyramid selling activities are increasingly rampant, and entrepreneurs should be careful to fall into pyramid selling traps when surfing the Internet.
