Since this year, the trend of frying shoes has become more and more intense, which seems to have become a capital game. The 'big man' of frying shoes often makes millions of Yuan manually, attracting countless young people to join them.
In July this year, a post-90s young man who entered the field of fried shoes was exposed to run away because of the debt of "fried shoes". Recently, the shoe dealer who disappeared for more than three months appeared on bail, causing an uproar in the shoe circle again.
The post-90s is a shoe dealer nicknamed 'Liu biscuit' in Chengdu shoe circle. In mid July, he was exposed to owe 10 million 'running away', and then the local police detained him for 30 days. At that time, the police said that Liu had been engaged in selling shoes for several years and was able to provide goods normally in the early stage. With the increasing popularity, the number of people looking for them to buy shoes is gradually increasing, and their source of goods can not support more and more sales. The shoes owed by Liu biscuits to most young people of the same age.
Recently, in an interview with the media, Liu biscuit talked about the reasons for his failure to fry shoes.
Liu biscuit first explained the reasons for the sharp rise in the price of sneakers. There are many wechat groups between shoe dealers and shoe dealers. Once they have the same intention to invest in a certain sneaker, they will integrate funds to sweep away the inventory and make the price of this sneaker soar overnight.
Liu biscuit also cited an operation example with a principal of 10 million yuan. If he has 10 million yuan, he can control the price of a certain sneaker. For example, if a sneaker sells for 2000 yuan, he will invest money to sweep the inventory and raise the price to 3000 yuan for sale. Over and over again, when the price rises to 9000 yuan, many shoe dealers will find that the profit of this sneaker is very large, They will also buy this kind of sneakers one after another. At this time, they can sell the accumulated sneakers and make huge profits.
As for why he failed, Liu biscuit explained that he first received 10 million yuan in advance from his family or shoe lovers, and then he handed the money to his family for shipment. However, between the delivery of the payment and the delivery, the value of these shoes soared to 20 million yuan because of the price rise, and then his family was unwilling to deliver because of the sharp rise in shoe prices, so he was faced with a crisis.
'shoe rings are very popular. A word is, where's your money? I got the goods. What about the goods? Sold it. What about the money? I got the goods. The final result is that only shoes are left in hand, and shoes are less and less and more expensive. " Liu biscuit described it this way.
Now Liu biscuit has revealed that he has a debt of tens of millions of yuan. He said that this money is also an astronomical figure for him. However, at present, he has rallied his strength and established his own tide brand with the intention of making money to pay off his debt.
Now Liu biscuit regretted: "what I want to say to all shoe friends, especially young shoe friends, is, don't gamble with your youth like me."
Some victims choose to trust him again
In view of the above situation, the reporter of Chengdu Business Daily interviewed four victims. The loan owed by 'Liu biscuit' ranged from several thousand yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan. They also hold different views on the comeback of 'Liu biscuit'.
Ms. Liu (pseudonym) is from Chengdu. According to the wechat chat screenshot she provided, in mid June, Ms. Liu transferred tens of thousands of yuan to 'Liu biscuit' through wechat and purchased 16 pairs of sneakers. On July 13, Ms. Liu repeatedly failed to contact 'Liu biscuit' through wechat, and then completely lost contact with 'Liu biscuit'.
'he also engages in live broadcasting and independent brand clothes. Where did he get the money to make his own brand?' Ms. Liu believes that the 'Liu biscuit' who has just left the police station cannot pay off all the $10 million owed at once. " I don't know him well. It's my turn to pay back my money. I don't know how long it's been. "
Xiao Tang (a pseudonym) met 'Liu biscuit' in mid-2018 through shoe dealers who often buy shoes I'm probably lucky. Every pair of shoes I bought before has gone up, and he has delivered them. "
Later, Xiao Tang also encountered the situation of dragging goods one after another. Xiao Tang said that before Liu biscuit was detained, Liu biscuit still owed him 2 pairs of Black Angels, 6 pairs of aj1 and 1 pair of barb shoes, worth about 30000 yuan.
Xiao Tang believes that one of the reasons why 'Liu biscuit' owes a lot of money lies in market factors. Xiao Tang once ordered two pairs of AJ barb shoes at the price of 5500 yuan a pair at Liu biscuit. At the scheduled delivery time, the shoes had been at a premium of 13000 yuan a pair. At that time, Liu biscuit only issued one pair of shoes. Later, 'Liu biscuits' successively returned the principal to some buyers, gave some compensation, and also sent goods to some buyers.
Before Liu biscuit was detained, the last message Xiao Tang learned was that about two days before he was taken away by the police station, Liu biscuit's studio shoes were robbed by creditors.
"When everyone heard that he wanted to make clothes again, many people chose to trust him again." Xiao Tang finally sent five screenshots to reporters, which showed the victim's reaction after seeing the article pushed by 'Liu biscuit', and all chose to trust him again.
Xiao Li (a pseudonym) is also one of the people who choose to believe in 'Liu biscuit'. Xiao Li said that Liu biscuit owed him dozens of pairs of shoes. After Liu biscuit came out, he took the initiative to contact him and told him that he was willing to take responsibility, but he was unable to repay the money at present.
'we think it's a broken capital chain in business. Most of the victims have made money and tasted sweets from him, so most of them choose to believe him. " Xiao Li believes that 'Liu biscuit' is only in his 20s. He is relatively young. He has inaccurate judgment on the market and does not have the ability to make accounts. The shoe market has soared. Although 'Liu biscuit' has some channels, the number is limited after all.
In addition to paste, the problem of frying shoes is more serious than expected
Not long ago, the Shanghai Branch of the central bank issued a financial briefing on "guarding against the upsurge of 'shoe speculation' and preventing financial risks", pointing out that there may be stakeholder economic and Financial Violations behind the 'shoe speculation' industry, such as illegal fund-raising, illegal absorption of public deposits, financial fraud and illegal pyramid schemes.

Poison coins are used for equipment identification, poison tongue reward and talent Q & A. they cannot be used for transaction payment.
According to the nice user agreement, Jizan will issue virtual currency, namely nice currency, on the nice platform, which can be used to buy live gifts in the nice platform. The exchange ratio between nice currency and RMB is 10:1, and the exchange ratio will be changed by Jizan at any time according to the operation.
For example, Zhang Mingzhao, a senior researcher at the Institute of finance, pointed out that the virtual currency has nothing to do with the capital pool.

2. 'cutting leeks', fraud
How much do you make by frying shoes? " It has been repeatedly reported that a pair of air yeezy2 (Red October) shoes can change 20 houses in Beijing.
According to the qicaijing report, Mr. Zhang, an insider in the industry, said: "this fried shoe also has a routine. Before I sell it, I need to build a momentum and tell the leeks how good the shoes are. When I sell it, I hire someone to grab the shoes, and then go to the second-hand platform. The group buys and sells itself to raise the price. It looks almost like it. As soon as I get out, I cut a wave of leeks."
In addition to price confusion, 'future shoes' are easy to get out of control, and there is a mess of no actual delivery and no refund.
According to a previous report by China Youth Daily, in August this year, nine young people around the age of 20 came to a police station in Dantu District, Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province to report a case, claiming that they were defrauded when buying shoes online. Several people bought shoes from 'Yin billion' at different times this year. After the agreed date, the 22-year-old 'Yin billion' neither delivered nor wanted a refund, and then lost contact.

According to the report, 'Yin billion' became active in the shoe circle at the end of 2018, released some limited or latest list of shoes on the social platform, said he had a source of goods, and released a series of rich videos to attract customers to buy all kinds of shoes.
The police handling the case said that 'Yin billion' had no supply capacity but hyped on the Internet, resulting in great losses and no ability to compensate. Knowing that there was no money to pay, he continued to publish the information of shoes to attract buyers, and his behavior was suspected of fraud. At present, 'Yin Yiyi' has been detained by the public security department.
The audit mechanism of the 'fried shoes' platform has not been improved. In the frenzy of frying shoes,
It is easy to breed 'high imitation, fake' and other black production businesses.

4. There is a risk of illegal fund-raising
Chen Yunfeng said that for the "shoe speculation" activity, especially for the pre-sale mode launched by some platforms, due to the uncertainty of the merchant's inventory and whether it can be delivered, and when such funds are transferred before the goods, if the platform fails to deliver or cash, according to the interpretation of the supreme people's Court on Several Issues concerning the specific application of law in the trial of criminal cases of illegal fund-raising The characteristics of illegal absorption of public deposits or disguised absorption of public deposits stipulated are: 'illegality', 'publicity', 'inducement' and 'non specificity', and engaged in 'illegal absorption of funds by means of commodity repurchase, consignment sale, etc. without the real content of selling goods and providing services, or without the main purpose of selling goods and providing services',
