DCHL distributors back in business after protesters end 5-day action
DCHL distributors are back in business, with no interest in those who say they have lost money
A five-day rally undertaken by dozens of mainlanders last week was a failure, a protest organiser has admitted as the Causeway Bay sales centre of a multilevel marketing company returned to business as usual.
Hundreds of product distributors began descending on the Digital Crown Holdings HK (DCHL) centre at the weekend, soon after about 160 mainlanders ended their action demanding millions of dollars in refunds for their purchases on Friday.
Yesterday, training rooms at a demonstration centre located on the second floor of Paliburg Plaza on Yee Woo Street were abuzz with excitement, with shouts of positive slogans filling the air.
One distributor claimed success in closing HK$120,000 of deals. No one was willing to answer questions about the rally, although one distributor said the firm was seeking a court order to bar protesters.
"I can't tell you anything; you'd better ask someone to introduce you to join our company," a senior distributor, who was greeting a newcomer, said.
DCHL was besieged last week as the mainlanders clamoured for compensation after buying health and beauty goods and wine they claimed had almost no resale value.
A volunteer who organised the protests said the 160 former distributors had invested at least 60 million yuan (HK$75.8 million) in all on DCHL products.
