Users pay attention to the official account and receive free plastic bags


　　. Is the flow of "environmental bags"

returnable by franchisees who put in terminal equipment for one year

?

　　In the fifth-tier cities, 50 sets of environmentally-friendly plastic bag take-out machines were put into use, and it is estimated that they could earn back 2 million yuan a year... This kind of publicity appeared in an environmentally-friendly plastic bag distribution company called "Bagmaster" in Beijing.

"Bagmaster" claims that the front-end helps the WeChat official account to attract traffic, and the back-end provides consumers with plastic bags for free.

　　A reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily found that an investor with a "pocket leader" was found to be suspected of repurchasing orders because the amount of bags taken was too large, and the operation was suspended for only three days.

There are also machines invested by investors that are close to no one in the market.

　　"Business"

　　The user scans the code and takes away a plastic bag

　　Investors can get 0.25 yuan cash back

　　Ms. Gao saw information about "Bagmaster" on a certain entrepreneurial program in May this year, and felt that this is a very promising project.

　　"The state requires everyone to use biodegradable environmental protection bags, which are needed in farmer markets, hospitals, pharmacies, supermarkets, and the like. The'bagmaster' can supply them for free. As long as someone takes a plastic bag, it can be returned. The investor is 0.25 yuan." Ms. Gao told the Beijing Youth Daily reporter that she calculated an account. If 10 machines were put in, each machine would send out 300 bags on average every day, and there would be an annual income of 270,000 yuan. You can earn back the money you invested."

　　Ms. Gao said that after consultation, the money returned to investors by the "Bagmaster" comes from WeChat official accounts that need more traffic and fans.

　　Therefore, from the end of May to mid-June, Ms. Gao went to Hangzhou, Zhejiang (the place of contract), and signed the "Baozhumen" Regional Agent Cooperation Agreement between Yantai Longkou, Shandong and Baoqing County, Heilongjiang, and became an agent for the two regions. , A total of 60 sets of terminal equipment were purchased (33 sets actually arrived), with a total investment of about 270,000 yuan.

　　Zhang Jun (pseudonym), who also saw the information of "Bagmaster" on the Internet and TV shows, was also tempted by this project.

Users only need to follow different WeChat official accounts or read specific articles to get the bag for free, and the fee returned to the investor is paid by the traffic acquirer.

　　"According to estimates that 200 to 300 plastic bags are removed from each machine every day, a machine earns 50 or 60 yuan a day, and the cost of the machine can be recovered in two or three months." Zhang Jun said, after accounting, he decided to invest 20. More than 10,000 yuan, I am going to purchase 20 machines (currently only some of the machines have arrived), "I tested it, and it may be related to the awareness of local residents and concerns about paying attention to unfamiliar official accounts. In our community, we can only Swipe out dozens of bags, and at most 90 per day when someone is guided."

　　Zhang Jun said that the machine's bag retrieval process is also constantly changing. One WeChat account can retrieve two bags per day, sometimes three.

Another agent, Deng Fei (a pseudonym), invested nearly 200,000 yuan (part of the machine arrived) to set up the machine at the local farmer’s market and other places. “One machine can send out dozens of plastic bags every day, but it’s still hard to judge. Can you make money?" Deng Fei said that for the machine he puts, people who pick up bags need to pay attention to two ordinary WeChat official accounts and receive two bags. If they want to receive the third bag, they need to read an article. Many people I think reading is more time-consuming and I can’t wait, so I give up.

　　Thousands of plastic bags are taken away every day

　　Was found to be malicious "swiping orders"

　　“About 1,000 plastic bags are taken away every day.” The equipment that Ms. Gao put in front of a tea shop in Longkou, Shandong Province attracted the attention of the locals. Just when Ms. Gao believed that the investment was successful and waiting to make a profit, the “Bag Master” company It is believed that Ms. Gao’s machine is maliciously "swiping orders", and on the grounds that there is an abnormal operation, she presses the pause button on this machine.

　　Ms. Jiang, the owner of the tea shop where Ms. Gao puts the machine in, told the Beijing Youth Daily that local residents are more aware of the country’s plastic restrictions, and there is a great demand for environmentally friendly plastic bags.

On July 23, investor Ms. Gao put on a smart bag picker in front of her store. As long as you scan the code and follow the WeChat official account, you can get it for free.

In fact, before Ms. Gao launched the bag taker, some merchants in front of her store had set up bag takers of other brands here, and there were also similar machines of many brands nearby.

At the earliest, some merchants started to launch it more than three months ago.

"I don't know why, after three days of operation, the "Bagmaster" stopped, and it has not reopened until now." Ms. Jiang said.

　　On August 9, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily followed Ms. Gao to the "Bagmaster" headquarters in Chaoyang Hanhai Building, Beijing. The person in charge of the company, surnamed Wu, responded to Ms. Gao's concerns about investment and operation.

　　Mr. Wu explained that the company has no restrictions on the number of bags and operating time for machines placed in various places, and they can be placed in suitable places according to market needs. However, Ms. Gao’s machines in Longkou were found to be abnormal, so they were required to suspend them. .

　　Mr. Wu introduced that the company's back-end system has a set of algorithms. Due to the frequent repetition of bag pickers at the Longkou placement point, it was determined that Ms. Gao's operating machine had an order-swiping behavior.

　　Regarding the statement of the person in charge of the company, Ms. Gao has repeatedly denied the existence of deliberate order-checking behavior.

　　As for how to solve the problems with Ms. Gao, Mr. Wu said that Ms. Gao can adjust to other areas or help sell the equipment. If it is necessary to refund the contract, the company is willing to refund about 20% of the cost (6.5 Ten thousand yuan).

And Ms. Gao hopes to withdraw from all the agents of "Bagmaster", and the company will refund the amount in full.

　　In the morning, the two sides did not reach an agreement on this plan.
