To assist the Secretary in charge of anti monopoly and Anti Unfair Competition Law Enforcement Bureau, direct supervision bureau, the individual private economic supervision and management of the Sun Hongzhi, there is no hand in hand to the direct selling industry?

Under the light of simmering, direct selling companies bribing Chinese officials in pairs

By the end of 2014, Avon bribery case continued to spread in the world, especially in China, Avon to Chinese officials bribery 9600 pen, bribery amounted to $165 million, involving dozens of senior Chinese officials, however, is regrettable, multinational companies in China's bribery, often only the United States investigation and huge penalties. While the Chinese side, not only to the bribery party is often not any action, even taking bribes, and there are few publicly exposed or investigated. And Avon's move for the development of direct selling business in China play a "good start", then China quietly broke out a foreign direct selling enterprises took the lead in bribed Chinese officials, the so-called "when in Rome, do as the Romans do". Plus direct selling legislation at the beginning, China direct sales threshold is too high, the processing time is longer, so a lot of cash rich companies have through various channels and forms of China 's senior officials to bribery, for bribery, many foreign companies have already study the an adaptation strategy for the local market, and use it like a duck to water. Such as contact foreign universities let bribery side children studying abroad, to paying benefits to bribery of children or relatives in an enterprise with foreign capital for any of the executives, to training abroad, the nominal return relevant personage, please officials of the Department in charge of overseas trips, vacations, sponsorship of PR object organization forum and research activities and so on.

And similar commercial bribery practices the Avon is not a, endless bribery in many foreign-funded enterprises exist, even domestic direct selling companies bribery Chinese officials has inherent advantages, but "not surprising" change the nature not wrong, should not be a repeated offender reason. But foreign direct selling enterprises in China bribery has gradually evolved into an industry "unspoken rules", is a common phenomenon, China is still a person arteries and veins of the society, does not rely on relationship is very can do succeed of. But this argument is clearly difficult to convince the public today. Despite China's business environment still need further standardized, but foreign companies in the commercial bribery, but had to change from passive to active, they will tentacles extending toward a higher level of officials and bribery will more and more subtle, but in fact the deterioration of the business environment in China has played a great negative effect.

 

Hidden rules of the game, Sun Hongzhi bribery is likely to reach the direct selling industry

In 2008, the Ministry of Commerce "Jingyi nest case broke out, Deng Zhan, deputy director of the division of raw Foreign Ministry of Commerce sacked, but has strongly advocated the establishment of" direct marketing system with Chinese characteristics ", hand Xiang Yafang and other foreign companies issued" direct selling license, rightly been identified as Avon bribery object of Deng Zhan, and then media have speculated that Avon is a bribe to Deng Zhan. However, according to the judgment of the 2010 Deng Zhan, involving Deng Zhan bribery crime has three: one is accepted Beijing think peak Lawyer Zhang Yudong bribery 1.795 million yuan, the second is to accept the bribery of Philips company vice president Ji Tiean 40 million, three is to accept bribes from the Australian company. Among them, did not involve bribery of AVON.

The former State Administration for Industry and commerce, Party members, deputy director. Assist the director in charge of antitrust and Anti Unfair Competition Law Enforcement Bureau, bureau of the direct supervision, economy of individual privately owned to the Department for supervision and administration of Hong Zhi sun is also very difficult to withstand test, although there is a lesson, but not necessarily will not make the same mistake again. And with the wave of anti-corruption wave after wave of, but whether it is "tiger" or "fly", striking the sacked are "traditional" corrupt image, to single bribery, huge, received are mostly in cash. But part of the direct sales business bribery case completely and this is two types, such as Avon bribery case, in order to circumvent the laws and regulations of China and the United States, bribery is in a small way of gifts, but also to bribe people. Although the amount at below $200, but the number can reach 9600, pen. The payment of bribes to the effect might as well as usually give a single leading large amounts of money come directly, but based on the "ceremony of light", "multiplayer is not responsible for the public to bring security, it is still very popular. This type of corruption, it is likely to be very broad, but it has become a matter of fact blind. At the same time with the expansion of domestic demand and economic growth, more and more direct sales companies attempt to occupy a place in China's vast market. So some familiar with the native culture of China direct selling companies began looking for heresy, rely on the bribery of local government officials as a background illegal profit. That's why foreign direct selling companies have not been identified by the Chinese government, but one of the reasons why they have been identified by foreign institutions.

 

Corruption is fierce in the tiger, how to eliminate the direct selling industry potential bribery behavior?

From Hong Zhi sun bribery case is not difficult to see, central government and local government is not only the market and opening up to the outside world, should also be further standardized the market, strengthen the supervision of all sales link, auditing, monitoring and personal income tax settlement. Unable to direct selling enterprises become a disguised form of financing: too heavily on funds disc operation, regardless of how many sales of the actual commodity, the value in practical applications and so on. Objectively, the bribery of officials see not fresh, but also some of the direct selling industry problem, certainly not a direct selling enterprises unique phenomenon. However, the central government has no law enforcement investigation, investigation. If you go to check, will find piles of this industry, only law enforcement management is not in place. To make China's direct sales enterprise development and growth, to the world, we must strictly law enforcement, and strive to adhere to corporate culture and moral conscience, and oppose profiteering, fraud, in particular, do not play false financial capital game. After the incident, according to news website of the Ministry of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and supervision, Administration for Industry and Commerce in the discipline inspection team leader He Xin recently stressed that in the case of sun Hongzhi, as a warning, stick to the responsibility of the discipline inspection and supervision of cadres play, in the spirit of learning from past mistakes to avoid future ones and curing the sickness to save the patient, catch caught early, reducing inventory, curb incremental, protect our cadres, maintain the party's image.

Finally, Hong Zhi sun bribery case is of Chinese officials' behavior should be standardized and improve the direct market order the most powerful lash and urged. How to the future more and more direct selling enterprises create fair environment for the development, relevant departments should be considered and solved, and the construction of a harmonious business environment, is inseparable from the relevant departments of self-discipline. Only to eradicate the hidden rules of the soil and public relations, in order to put an end to the next "Sun Hongzhi". , of course, for all hope in China long-term survival of direct selling enterprises, only respect the laws of the people's Republic of China, there is no luck, cogent accomplish management legal norms, it is possible to achieve the dream of evergreen. This is a necessary and sufficient condition for the survival and expansion of the enterprise. Any attempt to take a shortcut to the end, eventually Sun Hongzhi today. To standardize the operation only is no longer a slogan, but a worthy of attention everyone the iron, a harmonious business environment may were created. Strictly supervise and regulate the business not one less, compliance is protected, in violation of punishment. Only in this way, the business environment in China can get Di Qing, to fair competition, direct cause may go further. 3
