What awaits you is a 400,000 bonus, just hold on for 35 days without touching your phone!There was a guy who chose to quit the competition on the first day of the competition, and netizens discussed it in the comment area after seeing the reason for the elimination.
No matter how skilled the routine is, it can't withstand 9,000 yuan and earn 400,000 yuan in 35 days
Doesn't that sound particularly good?It only takes 35 days, get rid of the shackles of your mobile phone, and you can easily get a grand prize of 400,000 yuan. This seemingly easy challenge is sure to be tempted by many people.
We often say, "There is no pie in the sky." "We are all familiar with the word self-discipline, just leave the mobile phone for a month, and we can easily win a prize of 400,000. Such a beautiful idea has made many people addicted to it.
But perhaps you don't realize that this is not a simple self-discipline, but a scheme called the "self-discipline trap".
Someone once said, "It's not ignorance that gets us into trouble, it's the fallacies that seem right." This makes perfect sense.
There is a Mr. Chen from Changsha who is deeply involved. He heard that a certain company had launched a "self-discipline challenge" program, which only required 35 days in a big room without touching the phone, and he could take away a prize of 400,000 yuan. This tempting condition made Mr. Chen pay the registration fee of 9,000 yuan without saying a word and sign the contract.
At the time, perhaps he thought the company was doing charity, simply giving him money. However, the facts surprised him. On the first day of the challenge, Mr. Chen was eliminated, which surprised netizens.
Afterwards, Mr. Chen realized that he had fallen into a trap, and two days later, not only was the prize money hopeless, but the application fee was also lost.
He later admitted that he was too eager for quick success and quick profit, and swept away the content of the contract without carefully checking it. Such a sloppy behavior led to his failed ending.
The contract provisions are quite detailed and can be summarized into nine main points:
1.Smoking, drinking, and using any electronic devices are strictly prohibited, and face cover is not allowed for more than 3 seconds
2.Go to bed at 10 p.m. and get up by 6 a.m
3.During the challenge, you are not allowed to have your back to the camera, and the violation time is limited to 3 seconds;
4.10 a.m. to 11 a.m. is the time limit for mobile phone use, but the time limit is 3 minutes
5.Weekly calls with family members are allowed for limited hours;
6.Allow your phone to set an alarm, but only turn it off once a day
7.Bonus setting: 9,000 yuan for 6 consecutive days without violation (refundable registration fee of 9,000 yuan);9 days reward 40,000 yuan;30 days reward 180,000 yuan;35 days reward 400,000 yuan, distributed in three times;
8.If there is a violation within 6 days, it will be eliminated and the entry fee will not be refunded.
At first glance, the content of the contract is relatively simple, but a closer look reveals that there are profound implications. In order to be able to return the registration fee of 9,000 yuan, it is necessary to maintain a record of no violations for 6 consecutive days. Particular attention should be paid to Articles 1 and 3, which are often overlooked.
In addition to the ban on alcohol, tobacco and electronics, one of the rules is quite special – covering your face for more than three seconds is also considered a violation. What's even harsher is that even sleeping is restricted, and it's a violation to turn your back to the camera for more than three seconds. Avoid violating this rule unless you don't fall asleep at all, because once you fall asleep, it's easy to break the rule of more than three seconds due to unconscious body movements.
After paying the expensive registration fee of 9,000 yuan, Mr. Chen was unaware of the problem. He did not hesitate to face the upcoming test, as if everything was under his control.
However, the night he moved in, he began to mumble in his heart. Waking up at six in the morning was a huge challenge, almost an unattainable task for him. Faced with this dilemma, Mr. Chen decided to adopt the method of night battle after some reflection and prepared for the test of the next day. He resolutely lay on the bed against the blinding light, hoping to compete.
However, this decision did not bring him a good night's sleep. He found that the lights in the room were so bright that he couldn't sleep at all. There was a bitter feeling in his eyes, and he subconsciously rubbed his eyes, but in the blink of an eye, it took more than three seconds, and this small negligence announced the end of the challenge.
Mr. Chen originally thought that even if he couldn't win the 400,000 yuan prize, he would at least be able to recover 9,000 yuan with guaranteed capital. However, just a few hours later, he was a complete failure. He felt very unwilling and thought that this was a deliberate fraud by the company.
Dissatisfied, he immediately approached the organizers and loudly demanded a refund. The organizer took out the contract and told him clearly: "If the challenge fails, no refund!"Mr. Chen was a little confused when he heard this, and although he was angry, he was helpless.
Mr. Chan was not at all satisfied with conceding defeat. He thinks that it is nonsense to stipulate that blinking cannot exceed 3 seconds, and that human blinking is a normal physiological reaction of the body, so how can it be stipulated that a blink should not exceed 3 seconds?As a result, he posted complaints about the company's unfair practices and demanded a refund of the registration fee. Some netizens also said that the organizer's regulations are too unreasonable, and even more black-hearted than unscrupulous profiteers.
Mr. Chen's appeal was firmly rejected by the organizers!The organizers even claimed that more than 20 people participated in the challenge recently, but only a handful of them managed to get the first tier of rewards, and the others were eliminated in just a day or two.
Simply calculated, 25 people participated, and the registration fee totaled 2250,000, only 2 people succeeded, and the organizer easily earned 200,000 in such a short period of time!And the organizers have almost no effort, only need to prepare a room, which is simply a blatant profiteering!Can such a practice be defined as fraud?
The organizer has repeatedly emphasized that it will be fulfilled in accordance with the contract, so is there a problem with this contract?According to Article 148 of the Civil Code, if one party fraudulently causes the other party to perform a civil juristic act against its true will, the deceived party has the right to request the court or arbitration institution to revoke it. In other words, it doesn't seem to count as fraud from a legal point of view!The merchant not only clearly stipulates the rules, but also places special emphasis on precautions, so from a legal point of view, the merchant does not constitute fraud.
However, according to Article 6 of the Civil Code, parties involved in civil activities should follow the principle of fairness. Is this fair to both parties?Patently unfair. The organizer may set a challenging program with high difficulty, but it must be reasonable. For example, asking you not to be in front of the camera with your back to the camera for 3 seconds is too much!Moreover, when faced with the inspection of the market supervision department, the company legal person even avoided questioning on the grounds of "trade secrets", and the market supervision department is currently conducting a more in-depth investigation!
To be honest, this whole thing reminds me of an old saying: the rivers and lakes are sinister, and the human heart is unpredictable. This challenge may seem light, but it's actually not fun at all. There are all sorts of weird constraints in the challenge, such as not being able to cover your face or facing away from the camera, which is really hilarious.
I thought that in the comment area, everyone would condemn the behavior of the organizer, but I didn't expect netizens to be surprised and come up with various ways to meet the challenge. A netizen bluntly said that you want to earn 400,000, but he wants to earn your 9,000 through the challenge, and asked: "My relatives are vegetative, can I participate?"."This situation obviously doesn't work, because you have to get up at six o'clock in the morning to turn on the lights, and if you pay 9,000 yuan, you will be eliminated on the first day!
There are also netizens Mao Sui recommended himself, saying that he would give him 5 boxes of liquor, sleep when he drank it, and drink it again when he woke up, firmly believing that he could get 400,000 yuan. He said confidently: "I feel that I can, throw away the phone, ask my dad to lock me in the room, I will sleep in it for 35 days, and my dad can unlock the lock and deliver the meal." ”
Some netizens questioned this rule, feeling that not being allowed to rub their eyes was a trap set and might be suspected of fraud. They wondered, "What should I do when I go to the toilet and take a bath?"Do you want to keep staring at the camera and taking a shower?”
Another netizen put forward a different opinion, suggesting that the next time the contestants should not breathe for one hour to be considered a success of the challenge. While it is fatal for humans not to breathe for an hour, it is illegal in a sense. However, in this case, although these provisions are difficult to implement, they do not violate the provisions of the law, so even if they are unreasonable, they will not violate the law.
To be honest, it's like if I tell you a condition, you need to write 100,000 words with paper and pen, and then I will give you 1 million, but you have to pay me 1,000 yuan first. This condition is simply unreliable!But you willingly participated according to the rules, and I didn't break any laws, so I didn't break the law.
Now this big brother Chen regrets it so much, and thinks about whether to come out and fight for justice all day long. Don't forget, if a participant defaults, they will have to pay the full amount of the registration fee. So how did this turmoil end up?We'll have to wait and see!
Do you still think you can pick up a bargain?Wake up!That's something that only happens in fairy tales, how can real life be so easy to get benefits?
Seriously, sometimes we have to pay a lot to understand this, but some mistakes are enough once.
Therefore, we must look at money, work and relationships with a normal mind, and let go of those unrealistic illusions in order to truly move towards the road to success!
