It’s hard to start a business, but it’s even harder to be a successful boss. A 28-year-old man working in Haining decided to start his own business without spending a penny. He “earned” something worth 180,000 yuan in less than half a year, but the result was…
Confusion caused by a bill of lading
Boss Yan runs a chenille yarn processing factory in Tongxiang, and Boss Cao runs a factory in Xucun Town, Haining City In a chemical fiber materials company, one person sells raw materials and the other processes and produces finished products. After many years of business, the cooperation between the two parties has been tacit and smooth.
Recently, Boss Yan came to Boss Cao’s factory to pick up goods. , while waiting in the office, a bill of lading on the table caught Boss Yan’s attention.
The consignee on the bill of lading clearly says Boss Yan’s Name, but Boss Yan couldn’t remember ever mentioning this batch of goods. “I didn’t pick up this batch of goods. Who picked up the goods in my name?”
Defrauded 15 tons of cotton yarn under false pretenses
“The consignee wrote me, but I have never seen these goods. What happened?” Is this a misunderstanding? , or there was something hidden. In front of Boss Yan and Boss Cao, relevant staff were called to the scene to conduct an audit. This investigation revealed a bigger “problem.”
From November 2019 to April 2020, there were more than 20 bills of lading with the same situation, totaling 15 tons of cotton yarn worth more than 180,000. The staff recalled that they came to pick up the goods. It was Li, a mechanic from Boss Yan’s factory.
I did not entrust Li to pick up the goods at all, and I did not sign the words on the order, and so many goods were not delivered to my factory. Boss Yan was completely confused. And angry. Finally, Boss Yan and Boss Cao decided to call the police!
The repairman turned into a boss
After receiving the report, the Haining police immediately started investigating. Soon, the police handling the case found the suspect Li
After being “invited” to the police station by the police, Li confessed to the crime of pretending to be Boss Yan to defraud goods.
Li is 28 years old and lives in Yunnan. He was originally a mechanic in Boss Yan’s factory, and he followed Boss Yan to Boss Cao in Xucun many times to buy raw materials. Over time, Li not only became familiar with the procedures and procedures for picking up goods, but also became very familiar with the staff of Boss Cao’s company.
Since last year, Li resigned from Boss Yan’s factory and started his own business overseas. He wanted to continue to engage in cotton yarn processing with his own skills.
But the journey from mechanic to boss was not smooth. Soon, Li found that doing business was much more difficult than working. He lost a lot of money due to poor management, and even lost the capital to purchase raw materials.
Seeing that the raw materials are running out, my small workshop that has just started may close down at any time! In addition to being distressed, Li recalled Boss Yan’s operating procedures when picking up the goods, and started to think crookedly.
On November 3 last year, Li came to Boss Cao’s company in Xucun alone. In the name of picking up goods on behalf of boss Yan, 25 boxes of cotton yarn worth nearly 8,000 yuan were successfully picked up.
After succeeding easily for the first time, Li, who was overjoyed, started Following the same pattern of frantic deception, he delivered goods more than 20 times. In this way, since November 2019, Li has brought 15 tons of cotton yarn back to his factory without spending a penny, and all these accounts have been recorded in the name of Boss Yan.
Currently, Li has been arrested on suspicion of fraud.
The police remind: Enterprises’ financial systems and product entry and exit must be standardized to prevent scammers from taking advantage of loopholes. </p
