Chapter 1169: Encountering International Commercial Fraud

This is a very typical commercial fraud case!" the legal expert said.

Fan Wubing rolled his eyes and thought that the situation is so obvious now, don't people have the ability to judge like this? Do you need to emphasize it again?

But it is obvious that after the expert made the conclusion, everyone felt more at ease, and even if they wanted to settle accounts with the other party and sue, they would be more confident.

"We should keep these samples as evidence." The expert immediately made a more pragmatic suggestion.

But some people also raised their own concerns. "At present, our county is in a foreign country, and we are not very familiar with the laws here. If the other party does something weird, the situation will be very unfavorable to us! "

According to these people's suggestions, they should ensure their own safety first, and then go back to sue them.

After all, this incident made all the participants of Fan Investment Group very annoyed. Someone actually had evil ideas about him, which was simply unforgivable.

Fan Wubing thought about it and felt that the other party's behavior was really annoying. They already knew where he came from before, and there was a middleman in Europe as an introduction. They shouldn't play any tricks, but these people were blinded by greed and dared to touch the Tai Sui. How could this be tolerated?!

Their behavior has indeed constituted international commercial fraud.

The so-called commercial fraud refers to the use of The act of misleading and deceiving units and individuals, defrauding money and various material benefits, disrupting the market economic order, and damaging the legitimate rights and interests of the people by means of fabricating and concealing facts, distributing false information, signing false contracts, and exaggerating propaganda.

Commercial fraud is an act of unfair competition that violates the principle of honesty and trustworthiness, aims to make profits, and uses deception as a means.

Legally speaking, commercial fraud is when one party deliberately tells the other party false information. Or deliberately conceals the truth and uses false information to induce the other party to make a wrong judgment.

There are multiple reasons for commercial fraud. There are social internal reasons such as economy, politics, culture, education, morality, and law, as well as individual reasons for the greed of lawbreakers, as well as the lack of law enforcement resources and insufficient law enforcement capabilities, and the lack of awareness of commercial fraud by the general public. Reasons include the need for business knowledge and the ability to discern, as well as the awareness of resisting commercial fraud.

In any market economy, commercial fraud exists. The market economic system is imperfect. As a result, some profit-seeking lawless elements will inevitably take advantage of loopholes in the economic system to commit commercial fraud. This is the economic reason for the occurrence of commercial fraud.

With the gradual improvement of the market economic system, the loopholes in the economic system will gradually be made up and repaired, and the space for commercial fraud to breed will inevitably be greatly reduced. Most commercial fraudsters will inevitably be helpless.

Today's society is constantly moving forward, and the old laws are no longer competent to punish commercial fraud. It is urgent to amend or even abolish these regulations involving commercial fraud and formulate new norms.

Abandonment fraud itself is not static. It is also changing. The rigidity and lag of the law make it impossible to regulate some commercial frauds that are constantly being updated, and the ambiguity of legal norms leads to ambiguity in application. It will inevitably lead to the difficulty of regulating commercial fraud.

As far as international trade is concerned, the conflict of legal norms between countries leads to wrangling or confusion in application, and the intensity of punishment is not enough. It cannot fundamentally curb the greed of those calculating lawbreakers, because they firmly believe that the benefits obtained from breaking the law are more important than the losses caused by punishment. The inherent reasons of the legal system in some countries are also an important reason for commercial fraud.

The lack of moral emotions in honest business is the internal reason for commercial fraud.

People who are bound by good moral norms can resist the temptation of interests even if opportunities are in front of them. Those who lack integrity and moral emotions will rack their brains and find ways to bring illegal benefits to themselves.

Like here in Zhejiang, the relatively chaotic and disorderly social environment provides space and opportunities for international commercial fraud, which will inevitably be exploited by these lawbreakers. In addition, the fluke mentality of avoiding legal punishment is also an important reason that prompts some lawbreakers to take risks and commit commercial fraud.

Another very important reason is law enforcement resources. The social security in Africa is very poor. Fighting is commonplace, and murder and arson are also regarded as trivial. The police are basically a decoration, and the army may still have a little say. Under the premise of lack of law enforcement resources and low law enforcement capacity, the allocation of human, material and other law enforcement resources to combat commercial fraud is not enough to create conditions for effectively combating commercial fraud, which will inevitably lead to some commercial fraud behaviors not being punished due to lack of law enforcement resources.

The lack of law enforcement personnel's ability to detect and deal with commercial fraud will also lead to some cases with high intelligence and concealment not being solved in time, or causing some difficult commercial fraud cases not to be handled well.

Some law enforcement personnel have a weak sense of responsibility to combat commercial fraud, resulting in poor supervision of commercial fraud. What's worse, some law enforcement personnel accept bribes from commercial fraudsters, provide protection for commercial fraud, and use their power to give a green light to commercial fraud.

Even if Fan Wubing was thinking about the problem with his feet, he still knew what kind of environment it was like here. Although there is indeed a very high-quality ilmenite mixed ore here that is worthy of large-scale investment, but if these problems cannot be solved. That would be difficult to deal with, even without being deceived. The mine has been successfully built, but all subsequent troubles will continue to exist.

This time, Fan Wubing was most annoyed. It was the European partner who actually introduced him to such a partner. This reminded him of what Zaisu and Tuoer said. He very much suspected that the European partner played an extremely disgraceful role in this incident.

It's like a person wants to buy a laptop. Especially consumers who are unfamiliar with notebooks usually need to find some knowledgeable people to go with them when purchasing, such as friends, classmates, relatives, etc.

Here we need to be careful about meeting unkind people, not because we doubt the character of our friends, classmates, and relatives, but because we need to be careful about them colluding with profiteers and becoming shills.

Profiteers collude with these shills. The shills are responsible for bringing consumers into the merchants and selling them some models that are more expensive than other merchants. However, profiteers are encouraging them from the sidelines. Under the double act of shills and merchants, it is naturally difficult for consumers to resist. Buy this notebook which is much higher than other places, and the extra money will naturally go into the pockets of netizens and sitters.

This approach is very harmful to those consumers who are not familiar with notebooks. On one side are cunning profiteers, and on the other side are their trusted friends, classmates, and even relatives. Naturally, they will be interested in the models and models they recommend. I had no doubts about the price, and I never thought they would cheat me.

When consumers find out that they have been cheated, they become extremely angry at their friends, classmates, and even relatives for helping them, but for the sake of their friends, classmates, and even relatives, they can only tolerate it for a while and do not respond to such commercial fraud. The behavior is helpless. Undoubtedly, this trick of profiteers is very despicable.

The way to deal with it is naturally the old saying, it is better to ask for help from others than to ask for yourself. Only if you know your own business will you not be deceived by others.

Therefore, when this phenomenon occurs, the people who complain the most are not profiteers but shills. Now Fan Wubing has a lot of resentment towards Ou Yuan's two partners, so he let them Please investigate carefully. Has the other party colluded with the mine owners in Africa? Deliberately harming yourself?

It took about a day for the news from Europe to come through. The two partners swore that they knew nothing about it, and they also felt deeply disgusted with the practices of the African side, thinking that this kind of Commercial fraud is so shameful!

Immediately afterwards, Fan Wubing's men also found out the details of the people here. It turned out that although the people in charge here were French, the people who came up with this idea were actually a group of Jewish swindlers. .

In fact, they chose Chinese people to participate in their projects because of their careful planning.

Although titanium is one of the most important military and strategic materials in the world, more than 80% of the world's titanium reserves are in China. There are a large number of ilmenite associated ores in mainland China. Since there is no smelting and separation technology in the country, the titanium metal cannot be separated and extracted, so it cannot be used. These ores are generally smelted from iron, and the rest is discarded as slag.

So there is a story about Japan buying slag from Panzhihua and claiming to transport it to Japan for road paving. Although China does not have relevant refining technology, it also restricts the use of narrow slag. Therefore, only the Chinese in the world will be indifferent when they see such Qin iron associated mines. At the same time, China is extremely short of iron ore, so only the Chinese will do it. Focus only on iron ore.

In this carefully concocted Zege recipe, the final finished product will be sold to the United States, and the United States can obtain the titanium resources it needs most. Therefore, we will not interfere with the Chinese's acquisition of iron ore. This kind of international balance is very well discussed, and the opponent's calculation is really too shrewd.

"So, we Chinese people must not think that we are the smartest. Most foreigners are stupid. If you think so, you will die without knowing how you died. You know, the average foreigner is indeed stupid. Silly, but once they reach the top elite level, their shrewd business calculations are quite powerful for those of us who still have a lot to learn. He expressed a few words of emotion to his entourage.

"It is said that Jews are born to do business. This seems to be quite credible." Lu Qingtong said.

Although the agreement between the two parties was not reached, Fan Wubing and the others were not deceived and felt much more relaxed.

Although generally speaking, even if the current agreement is reached, Fan Investment Group still has a lot of room for profit in the iron ore project, but he always feels that as a Chinese, he must have the minimum Integrity, such an unfair agreement, even if there is money to be made, cannot be so advantageous to foreigners. In China's negotiations with foreign countries, too many Chinese people leave when they see the benefits, and the Chinese people just want to be petty. They always like to lower the price among themselves. In the end, it is a fight between the falcon and the clam, and the foreigners benefit.

And there is another point that made Fan Wubing and his team feel very deeply, that is, foreigners are not as honest and sincere as some self-proclaimed elites who return from overseas Chinese promote, and will not strictly abide by the terms of the contract. Even the things that everyone has reached a consensus on will be secretly changed back when printing. Such bad behavior. There is really no basic integrity and no business ethics. This is unimaginable for many people who have been educated in honesty since childhood, and such a situation should also explain the nature of a person. Cooperation with such a person is a very poor foundation.

This reminds people of the time when Li Hongzhang signed the Sino-Russian secret agreement. The Russians invited Li Hongzhang to dinner before signing, and then asked the secretary to steal the documents. Many people now laugh at Li Hongzhang as a good-for-nothing from a historical perspective, but no one condemns the Russians for their dishonesty, which is very unfair.

The integrity and gentleness of foreigners are based on their interests. These foreigners have interacted with the people of Fan Investment Group many times. Their elegance and honesty at that time were really impressive, so this time they went to Africa to seek opportunities for development together. However, this encounter made everyone realize that behind their integrity, in the face of major interests, foreigners are much more cunning than Chinese people.

The reason why they show integrity is that the interests they face are not big enough. If we Chinese are rich enough, we will not quarrel over trivial matters. Just like we think that remote farmers are simple and lovely, but if you live in the village, they will become different.

At the same time, the foreign environment causes you to have a high social cost for being dishonest. For example, if two people hold different opinions in court and there is no other evidence, the Chinese law is that if there is insufficient evidence, the plaintiff will lose the case, which is mostly a bargain for the defaulter. However, in foreign countries, all your previous behaviors will be taken out to consider who the jury believes. In this case, you will have to pay a painful price for your usual dishonesty. Therefore, honesty must have a social environment, just like Nan Nan Bei Ji. China has gone from being a country of honest etiquette for thousands of years in history to lacking credit in just a hundred years. This is also related to the social environment caused by China's political and legal system.

Now they are taking risks in Africa. There is no room for morality to survive in the environment, and the interests involved are very huge. What exactly is the essence of foreigners' honesty is clear to people. As for the idea of ​​superstitious belief in foreigners' credit and aristocratic identity tradition, that is extremely stupid.
