A number of media published the article "Kangmei Pharmaceutical was exposed or participated in pyramid schemes under the perfect face of" great love without borders ",saying that Kangmei Pharmaceutical carried out direct selling activities in several non-direct selling areas and sold more than 20 kinds of non-public direct selling products, and its bonus distribution system was multi-level salary, which was suspected of pyramid schemes.
According to the management information of the direct selling industry of the Ministry of Commerce, the direct selling area approved by Kangmei Pharmaceutical is limited to some areas in Guangdong, and the direct selling products are only Kangmei brand American ginseng capsules. According to the above report, Kangmei Pharmaceutical has actually sold more than 20 kinds of products in the market, such as Ginkgo biloba, Panax notoginseng and hawthorn tea pigeon capsules, and its direct sales activities are all over the country. All kinds of rewards involve hierarchical performance, and the percentage profit based on hierarchical performance is suspected of team compensation.
In this regard, on June 27, 65438, Kangmei Pharmaceutical issued a clarification statement saying, "The relevant content involved in this report does not conform to the relevant facts."
Kangmei Pharmaceutical emphasized that more than 20 kinds of other direct selling products and sales outside Guangdong reported by the media are mainly sold through the business channels of the company's subordinate commercial companies, self-operated and franchised stores, agents, distributors, e-commerce platforms, etc., which do not belong to the direct selling business, and said that the company strictly implemented the payment method reported by the Ministry of Commerce to carry out the sales of approved direct selling products in the approved area, and there was no pyramid scheme.
According to the data, Kangmei Times, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kangmei Pharmaceutical, started its direct sales business from 20 14. The direct selling business model is as follows: customers purchase direct selling products through Kangmei Jiankang platform, meet certain conditions, apply to become a direct seller of Kangmei Pharmaceutical, pass the company training examination, issue a direct seller certificate, and carry out direct selling business.
In addition, direct sellers can also participate in e-commerce mode, franchise chain mode, WeChat business agency mode and authorized distribution mode. By 20 16, the marketing mode was simplified to direct selling mode, e-commerce mode and franchise chain mode.
Some insiders told reporters that the key to judging whether direct selling is out of scope depends on whether those products that are not approved for direct selling are being sold through the direct selling system. "But this is not easy to judge."
2018 65438+129 October, the reporter called the Kangmei Times customer service hotline on the grounds that he wanted to be a direct seller. The hotline staff said that without becoming a member, it is impossible to explain the relevant content of direct sellers in more detail. Within 7 working days, the direct seller will call back to inform the specific situation. At the same time, the reporter sent an outline to Kangmei Pharmaceutical, but as of press time, no response was received.
