Do you like tea?Do you think tea is a healthy drink?Do you think tea is a valuable collector's item?If your answer is yes, then you might want to be careful. Because you've probably fallen into a huge **!
You may not know that there was a recent incident in the Fangcun Tea Wholesale Market in Guangzhou that shocked the whole country. Hundreds of tea merchants lost hundreds of thousands of yuan or even millions of dollars of wealth overnight. The tea leaves in their hands were nearly 90% better in just two hours. What's going on?
It turned out that these tea merchants were involved in an investment project called tea finance. Tea finance is a kind of Ponzi ** with the gimmick of investing in tea appreciation. Ponzi is a type of money that uses the money of new investors to pay interest on old investors. It is characterized by high profits, low risk, and fast returns. However, it is essentially an empty shell without any actual assets or business. Once the number of new investors decreases or the capital chain breaks, ** will collapse and investors will lose all their money.
Here's how tea finance works. First of all, the dealer will fry the ** of tea in the tea market through childcare, creating the illusion of tea appreciation. Then, they will promote the tea finance project to potential investors through various channels, such as WeChat groups, moments, SMS, **, etc. They will use a variety of words, such as "tea is the most important instrument of the country, and the appreciation space is unlimited", "tea is alive, the older it is, the more fragrant it is", "tea is a scarce resource, in short supply", "tea is a symbol of culture, with collection value", etc., to attract the attention of investors. They will also use some false data, such as "the annualized rate of return of tea is as high as 50%", the ** annual increase of tea is more than 100%, and the market size of tea has reached hundreds of billions" to increase investor confidence. They will also use some successful cases, such as "so-and-so bought some tea for tens of thousands of yuan, and sold it for millions of yuan after a few years", "so-and-so exchanged tea for a house", "so-and-so made tens of millions of dollars with tea", etc., to stimulate the greed of investors.
As a result, many investors are fooled or blindly follow up when they see others making money. They would use their savings, or even borrowing, to buy tea. They will store the tea in the warehouse designated by the dealer and receive a certain amount of interest every month. They will feel that they have found a shortcut to riches, and their hearts will be happy.
However, what they don't know is that the tea leaves in their hands are actually a pile of garbage. The quality of these teas is very poor, and even adulterated with other substances, so there is no drinking or collecting value at all. The ** of these teas is also artificially raised by the Zhuang family, and there is no market demand at all. The interest on these teas is also paid with the money of the new investors, and there is no profit at all**. The warehouses of these tea leaves are also controlled by the dealers, and the investors do not have any right of supervision or protection at all.
When the dealer feels that the time is right, they will suddenly close the net, sell all the tea leaves, and disappear without a trace. In this way, investors will find that the tea in their hands is worthless, and they will not be able to find the whereabouts of the dealer. They will be in a desperate situation and will not be able to recover their losses. This is the truth of tea finance, a huge **, a shocking secret. It has taken advantage of human greed, deceived countless investors, and caused great economic and social harm. It has also put a stain on tea, the traditional culture of the Chinese nation.
Therefore, we must raise our vigilance, don't believe in other people's rhetoric, don't blindly follow the trend, don't covet small profits, and don't touch tea finance. We are to use our wisdom, our common sense, and our judgment to protect our wealth. We need to remember that there is no such thing as a free lunch, no unearned wealth, and no investment that never falls. We should look at tea rationally and treat it as a healthy drink, an elegant culture, not a tool for gambling, an object of speculation. We should cherish tea and drink tea, not buy tea and sell tea. In this way, we can truly enjoy the beauty of tea, truly respect the culture of tea, and truly maintain the value of tea. Creative Inspiration Center
