The travel company loses hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan every month, but it can expand at a high speed.

  CCTV News:For an 8-day tour around Taiwan Province, the tour fee is only 999 yuan, and for a European tour, the tour fee is only 3,000 yuan or 4,000 yuan. You can also get the same amount of supermarket shopping cards in the early stage, with one condition: you have to pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan in advance for outbound travel, but people also promise that you can return it after 15 days of travel — — Would you believe such a big pie if it fell in front of you? Will you rush up and have a bite? Although the facts always teach people that a pie falling from the sky is often a trap, in the face of hype, people always choose to take risks, and the result can only be injured and cheated.

  In the report hall of Tiexi Branch of Shenyang Public Security Bureau, there are groups of informants, some of whom have just returned from tourism and should be full of joy, but now they are extremely annoying. The company that collected the informant’s travel deposit to organize outbound travel is called "Shenyang Dream Space Enterprise Management Co., Ltd.", and now it has gone empty, and several responsible persons of the company have suddenly disappeared from into thin air, and the travel deposit paid by consumers is even more unknown.

  A tourist group owner who knows the case better showed us several of the cases assembled in his mobile phone.Consumer rights groups, the two groups with the largest number of people each have more than 400 people, and the number of people is also more than 100. Most of the deceived consumers are middle-aged and elderly people. Among these deceived consumers, there are also many working-class old people who have worked hard all their lives and want to spend their limited pension in their later years to realize their dream of going abroad. The low quotation, which is more than half cheaper than other travel agencies, is an important reason to attract these grandmothers.

  Internal personnel start "dream space"

  After people go to the empty building, let’s talk about the name "dream space"."Dream Space" was once a name that stirred the wind and cloud in Shenyang tourist business circle. In just over a year, it has developed from one store to more than 20 stores. The booming development momentum has also become a distraction that makes it difficult for many consumers to distinguish between true and false.After the disappearance of several senior managers of the company, the grass-roots employees became abandoned children and the target of public criticism. One employee was interviewed by reporters after careful consideration.

  Liu Yanru, whose net name is Liu Yan, is an old employee of "Shenyang Dream Space Enterprise Management Co., Ltd." and the head of the 20th franchise store of "Dream Space" in Shenyang. She witnessed the rapid expansion of this company and experienced its final crazy collapse.

  In July 2017, Liu Yanru took over the 20th franchise store of "Dream Space" in Shenyang, and the business volume of this store was soon flush with that of the head office, making it the largest branch of the company. Liu Yanru told us that a magic weapon for the rapid expansion of "Dream Space" is to attract consumers with low prices or even zero tour fees.

  Liu Yanru said,"Dream Space" is only responsible for upstream tourism sales, that is, collecting money and organizing a group, and then forwarding the money and consumers to the relevant travel agencies in the next home. In the past, most of these sales companies in the tourism market depended on big travel agencies for survival.But in the "dream space" that had no foundation in the tourism industry, it soon expanded its business from South Korea to Southeast Asia, Japan, Taiwan Province, Europe and the United States, etc., relying on only one trick, that is, a large number of low-cost groups that lost money.

  The secret of the person in charge of the branch revealed an incredible fact — —"Dream Space" will cost thousands of dollars for each tour group: for example, Singapore-Malaysia tourism will collect a tour fee of 1,200 to 1,500 yuan and pay it to a travel agency of 3,100 yuan; The Vietnamese tour fee is 800 yuan to 1000 yuan and 2,680 yuan to the travel agency; The 15-day tour on the east and west coasts of the United States collected a tour fee of 8,500 yuan and paid it to a travel agency of 15,300 yuan; The tour fee in Europe is 4,000 to 6,000 yuan, and the travel agency is 6,900 to 8,800 yuan. According to her memory, when the 20th franchise store registered the largest number of people, it had more than 1,000 people per month, and when the number was small, there were more than 300 people, and the monthly loss ranged from several hundred thousand to millions of yuan.

  Collecting "going abroad deposit" is only to circle money.

  On the one hand, it is a huge loss, on the other hand, it is a rapid expansion.The dream woven by "dream space" seems bizarre, but in the final analysis, it is just an old-fashioned money-circling game.. Liu Yanru said that corresponding to the ultra-low-cost tour fee, every time a person is attracted to the company to sign up for a tour, "Dream Space" can receive a deposit far higher than the tour fee.

  Soon,In the name of tourists leaving the group, "Dream Space" raised the amount of advance deposit from the initial 5,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan. All the guests who participated in the outbound tour, regardless of their qualifications, must pay this "going abroad deposit" to the company.In the early stage of the development of Dream Space, through the low price regardless of cost and spare no effort to expand, the tourism business volume soared, not only the due deposit could be returned in time, but also the company launched some entity business projects, and many dubious consumers gradually let down their vigilance.

  That’s it,More and more people began to sign up for the low-cost outbound tour of Dream Space, and more and more "abroad deposit" was put into the account of Dream Space, which was used by the company at least for more than a month before and after consumers took part in the tour. Liu Yanru said that in order to speed up the introduction of tourism cash flow, Zhang Yingjie, the legal representative of Dream Space, constantly brainwashed the grassroots salesmen, and on the other hand gave the salesmen a high commission of 300 to 500 yuan per order and 10% of the money received by the store owner.However, with the continuous expansion of the company’s business volume, the hole of loss is getting bigger and bigger, and some staff who know the inside story of the company are beginning to feel nervous and in jeopardy.

  But in fact, most of these so-called follow-up business projects of "dream space" are painting cakes to satisfy hunger and do not produce actual profits. The loss-making black hole is getting bigger and bigger,Since November 2017, the capital turnover of "Dream Space" has been constantly problematic, and it has begun to delay the repayment of deposits and even delay the delivery of tour fees to travel agencies. In mid-November 2017, the capital chain of "Dream Space" was completely broken. Zhang Yingjie, the legal representative of the company, and several senior executives suddenly disappeared and lost contact, and a large number of deposits were not returned due.Consumers who have not even traveled at all wake up like a dream and come to the public security organ to report the case.

  The legal representative of Dream Space has been brought to justice.

  It is understood that the Tiexi District Public Security Bureau of Shenyang City has filed a case on suspicion of fraud after receiving a report from the masses, and Zhang Yingjie, the legal representative of into thin air’s "Dream Space" for nearly a month, was also arrested and brought to justice a few days ago. However, it is still unknown whether the tour fee and the "abroad deposit" handed over to "Dream Space" can be recovered in the end.
