Blockchain information service filing shall not be used for any commercial purpose

"When I am in Xi'an and waiting for the blockchain training, you come here and get a blockchain primary certificate from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology." Gao Yang (a pseudonym), an employee of Guojin Public Chain, invited reporters to register the "Nationwide Data Chain" while warmly inviting people from all walks of life to Xi'an for blockchain training.

According to him, the commercial operation of blockchain projects must have a "blockchain certificate" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The user needs to pay an enrollment fee of about 9800 yuan to obtain the blockchain primary certificate through the training of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. However, through his application for training in Xi'an, he only needs 3000 or 4000 yuan to get a certificate, and "it is the person directly from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology who comes to train". The training lasts about a week.

In its external publicity, Guojin Public Chain said that it had filed domestic blockchain information services in the National Internet Information Office.

The promotion personnel of a national gold chain introduced to the reporter that the company also established contact or cooperation with Inspur Group, Taobao, China Radio and Television Federation, Tianjin Jizhou District People's Government, Chengdu Jinjiang District and other sectors.

However, is the high-profile national financial chain really reliable?

Is pyramid selling a "marginal ball"?

"We have done so many projects before, all of which are dead on policy risk. We can do it with confidence and boldness in Guojin Public Chain."

In the WeChat communication group of Guojin Public Chain, some promoters said that their projects "make money quickly in the future" and "push boldly".

At the same time, Guojin Public Chain has also been promoted on many network platforms, and said that it has developed more than ten side chains, including the national data chain, the national online commodity database, the direct procurement chain, the government chain, the agriculture security chain, and the phantom chain, covering social networking, e-commerce, supply chain, government affairs, medical care, agriculture, 5G and other fields, and has taken the lead in enabling the innovative development of China's real industries. In 2020, Guojin Public Chain will focus on the three core modules of "people on the chain", "things on the chain" and "behavior on the chain", and upgrade the theory and path of the blockchain enabling entity industry, which will promote the blockchain enabling entity industry to enter the era of "internal driving force".

According to the marketing personnel of Guojin Public Chain to People's Daily Online, Guojin Public Chain has adopted a multi-level promotion mode.

Taking the Guojin GMT Value Ecological Privilege Chain Project (hereinafter referred to as GMT) as an example, the project defines each entrant as a "co builder". Each entrant has a QR code or link registration shared by the "superior". The "co builder" is bound to the hierarchical relationship of the national data chain at the same time of real name authentication. According to its marketing personnel, the project is divided into six stages in the promotion:

The first stage is to build a global shopping mall to attract more users;

In the second stage, create a data portrait privilege card, which is divided into six levels. With the improvement of the level, you can enjoy better services, such as one discount, two discounts, and even VIP services;

The third stage is the optimization of ecological franchisees, increasing the layout of GMT ecology in the field of technology and planning, and assisting ecological franchisees with the blockchain plus optimized business model;

In the fourth stage, data profiling financial services, according to the data profiling quality of individuals or businesses+behavioral value, score LTS (GMT's on chain behavioral data contribution value) to obtain credit services from cooperative financial institutions;

In the fifth stage, the urban node service center will be stationed in the first and second tier cities nationwide to serve all offline businesses;

In the sixth stage, Guojin GMT University Park, from freshman year to senior year internship, all data and behaviors are recorded on the blockchain, improving the whole China's understanding of blockchain.

At the same time, GMT adopts the mode of "token economy". According to the quality of input data and the frequency of use, users can get different numbers of LTS rewards. In addition, LTS can be obtained by registering, promoting, viewing advertisements, sharing and forwarding in GMT, so that users can communicate their data value assets. In addition, The GMT project issued 3 billion GMT certificates to benchmark 100% of the equity of the GMT project. It claims that every income of the company is closely related to the co builders, and participation is the shareholder.

The profit of GMT adopts the 3+1 mode of GMT super acceleration plan. Among them, "3" refers to 9 yuan of global shopping mall pipeline revenue, 399 yuan of gift package pipeline revenue and city center node pipeline revenue; "1" means "GMT token super value model". Members will enjoy different "privileges" at different levels in the system according to the different fees they pay, and the rewards they receive after recommending others to join the project will also be divided into different levels. The membership system is detailed as follows:

In the above 3+1 model, the three benefit "pipelines" represented by "3" are also divided into different levels. For example, according to the promotion staff's introduction of the 9 yuan global shopping mall pipeline revenue, users can be divided into 9 levels according to the number of new team members, and the number of people and corresponding rewards and commissions will gradually increase. The number of first level corresponding teams is 100, and 40% points difference award can be obtained; The number of the highest nine level corresponding teams is 25600, which can obtain 160% points difference award. At the same time, when there are 25600 people in each of the three channels, they will become the "perfect team" and enjoy the global C-level dividend.

399 yuan gift package pipeline income:

To sum up, the higher the level of "co builders", the larger the development team, and the more benefits they will gain. For example, in the promotion of 399 yuan gift channel revenue (see the figure above), the user level is divided into 11 levels according to the number of team members, and the corresponding gift channel revenue (GNB) increases in turn. The lowest number of first level gift channel teams is 4-9, the gift channel revenue is 20 yuan, the highest number of 11 levels is more than 50000, and the gift channel revenue is 100 yuan. If A is the superior of B, Grade A is Grade 5, the number of gift package pipeline team is 350, and the corresponding income of gift package pipeline is 75 yuan; Level B is Level 4, the number of gift package pipeline team is 150, and the corresponding income of gift package pipeline is 70 yuan. So, B Promote a 399 yuan gift package, B received 70 yuan of income from the corresponding gift package pipeline, The difference between A's income at the corresponding level is 5 yuan, that is, 75 yuan to 70 yuan (if A If B is at the same level, B will get all the benefits, A Revenue is 0).

"It's the idea of direct marketing, and it can run without blockchain." An internal employee of Guojin Public Chain told a reporter that although the actual business of Guojin Public Chain is doing blockchain technology development, the business logic has little connection with blockchain. The employee said that there was a legal affairs committee within the public chain of Guojin that had a special understanding of the legal nature of pyramid selling, and "every project legal affairs should go through" and "play the legal sidelines". In addition, many private chain businesses are also subsidiaries, which are self operated and the profits belong to.

"GMT's equity token is equivalent to 'issuing coins', but from the perspective of blockchain technology alone, most blockchain scenarios do not need to issue coins at all. What they do has nothing to do with the blockchain, and the main chain and side chain claimed in the promotion are all words." Wang Zhong (a pseudonym), director of a university's blockchain technology and application research center, told People's Daily, Blockchain technology start-ups usually start from a fixed point and a fixed user group. At the initial stage, it is unlikely that everyone can be a user.

Wang Zhong said that some people in Guojin Public Chain tried to communicate with him and claimed that they were an open source project, "but the source code is a state secret and cannot be released. This is ridiculous. For the public chain, only with the source code can we achieve multi participation."

As for the multi-level promotion mode of some side chains of Guojin Public Chain, a lawyer from a Beijing law firm said that this mode was suspected of pyramid selling. "Whether it is pyramid selling or not depends mainly on the profit model. It can be considered as pyramid selling if it leads people, or if there are products but the products have no value or are falsely high in value. The number of multi-level personnel suspected of pyramid selling and the amount of money brought by the products are related to conviction and sentencing."

The lawyer said that there was no product circulation in the original pyramid scheme, and some pyramid schemes designed a class of products in the name of making money. However, these products are often of false high value or virtual, without market value, or even used to beautify the way of pyramid selling, and are "shelled" as a reason for non pyramid selling when investigated by law enforcement departments such as public security.

This website will continue to track and report the follow-up progress of Guojin Public Chain.
