张庭林瑞阳夫妇涉嫌传销，来学习英文报道

有消息称，林瑞阳张庭夫妇旗下公司上海达尔威贸易有限公司(下称上海达尔威)因涉嫌传销被查。随后，相关话题也登上热搜榜。

张庭曾在节目中自曝，去她家会迷路，回家忘记楼层，浴缸水放两小时。这么奢靡的生活普通人真的难以想象。网友们也脑洞大开，得出这一公式1庭=10薇=20冰=60爽。

 吃瓜的同时不要忘记学英语，我们一起来看看《南华早报》中的部分报道吧!

A cosmetics and skincare products company founded by married actors Zhang Ting and Lin Ruiyang has had assets worth 600 million yuan (US$94 million) frozen due to an investigation by China`s market regulator over an alleged pyramid scheme.

传销

Pyramid schemes, which are illegal in China like many other countries, are businesses that recruit people whose job is to enrol others into the scheme rather than selling a specific product or service.The business model means only a few people at the top of the pyramid earn money, while the large number at the bottom will make little to zero return on their investment.They are similar to multilevel marketing in terms of structure, but do not involve a specific product.

传销，属于层压式推销。

层压式推销的成功与会员数目能否以指数级增长有关，所以层压式推销的英文是"pyramid"（金字塔），代表每向下一层会员人数就递增。当会员人数越来越多，支持计划运作的会员数目将会是天文数字，注定层压式推销不能持久，绝大部分参与者都要赔钱。层压式推销是一种不能持久的非法商业运作模式，参与者通过介绍其他人加入而赚取佣金，这些佣金正来自新会员的入会费，如此类推，一层压一层。其他类似的手法有多层式推销（又称传销）(multi-level marketing)和matrix scheme

Mulilevel Marketing

多层次营销(Mulilevel Marketing) 是直接销售的一种变形。如安利(Amway)、Shaklee、NuSkin 等都是采用这种销售方式的先驱。它们先招募独立的从业人员担任其产品的分销商(Distrib-utor)，这种分销商再另外招募一些人做为子分销商(Sub Distribu-tor),并将产品卖给子分销商; 子分销商又再招募其他人，将产品卖给他们，并由最后一层次的子分销商将产品卖给消费者。

随着张庭和林瑞阳公司被查处的事情曝光，越来越多的网友们开始关注这件事。细查发现，张庭夫妇是找了专业人士去设计TST的经营模式，来规避get around相关法律法规。张庭夫妇未直接持股not direct equity holders涉嫌传销公司，仅通过层层协议控制公司control it through layers of agreements。

Li said traditional pyramid schemes are based on pure money flow and are more likely to gather funds in the name of investment, which differs from the current pyramid micronet businesses that own legitimate companies and products."They have legitimate companies as a cover and will even have celebrity endorsements, but it's still a pyramid scheme in nature," said Li.
