On February 22, Elephant News released "Spending 100,000 yuan to participate in training is not unprofitable? Reporter undercover investigation of the Wisdom Business Enterprise Seminar". A number of brick-and-mortar store owners said that they spent more than 10 yuan to sign up for the "Huishang" enterprise training course, but after paying the money, they could not enjoy the follow-up services promised by the "Huishang" company, hoping to negotiate a refund.
Huishang Headquarters. On February 28, several brick-and-mortar store owners said in an interview with Elephant News and Elephant Gang reporters that the staff of "Huishang" were negotiating with them to solve refund-related matters. Some shopkeepers have already received some refunds from "Smart Business", while some have not yet received them.
Some of the store owners have already received a partial refund
Ms. Cao (pseudonym), the owner of the restaurant, said that she went to the Jinan headquarters of "Huishang" again a year ago to negotiate a refund. Previously, a person in charge of the "Huishang" enterprise surnamed Li said that of the 100,000 yuan training fee paid by the trainees, 50,000 yuan was handed over to the headquarters, and the other 50,000 yuan was handed over to the branch in the "Huishang" region.
Undercover courses. At Ms. Cao's strong request, the staff of the headquarters of "Huishang" returned the 50,000 yuan training fee received to Ms. Cao. The other 50,000 yuan "Huishang" head office suggested that Ms. Cao go to the "Huishang" regional branch to ask for it. In the process of returning the money from the Jinan headquarters of "Huishang", the staff of the "Huishang" headquarters asked Ms. Cao to sign a written agreement, "The agreement writes that after the return of the money, there will be no more disputes with Huishang World Enterprise Management Services, waive all rights such as litigation, and protect the reputation of Huishang, etc." For the remaining 50,000 yuan of training fees, Ms. Cao said that she would continue to negotiate with the regional branch of "Huishang" for a refund.

On February 27, Mr. Gao (pseudonym), the owner of the cake shop, told reporters that he also received 50,000 yuan from the Jinan headquarters of "Huishang", but the money was given to him by the Jinan headquarters of "Huishang" for other reasons. Among them, 30,000 yuan were donated to him by the "Huishang" Jinan headquarters to write an IOU, and the other 20,000 yuan was donated to him by the mentor of "Huishang" in his personal name. On the 27th, Mr. Gao also received a ** from Li from the Jinan headquarters of "Huishang", and Li hoped that Mr. Gao could cooperate with them to write a certificate indicating that the contract dispute had been properly resolved.
Another clothing store owner, Ms. Han (pseudonym), said she had also received a refund of 20,000 yuan from the Jinan headquarters of Huishang. Previously, "Hui Shang" said that she would find a way to help her come up with a plan and sell goods to make money, but Ms. Han said that she no longer opened a store, so she insisted that "Hui Shang" would refund her the remaining fees.
"Smart Business" provides solutions to refund students
After the program was published, Ms. Mao (pseudonym) from Hebei also received a consultation from the Jinan headquarters of "Huishang". Ms. Mao said that the staff of "Huishang" provided her with a solution: the Jinan headquarters of "Huishang" provided lawyers and prosecution fees to help Ms. Mao sue Zhang, the regional manager of "Huishang", "The people at the Jinan headquarters checked that Zhang had two apartments in his name and said that he had the ability to repay." A staff member at Huishang's Jinan headquarters told Ms. Mao that the legal process of suing could take about three months, after which Ms. Mao would receive 70 to 90 percent compensation. Ms. Mao is still considering this plan.
Inside Wisebusiness. Another Hebei restaurant owner, Mr. Liu (pseudonym), also received the same reply as Ms. Mao, "The staff of 'Huishang' said that they would come to us in the next few days to negotiate and deal with this matter." ”
