"RMB cake" and "rich flowers" are sought after.
Lawyers reminded that it is illegal to make creative gifts with RMB.
65438+10.6 is the birthday of Wang Li (a pseudonym), a citizen of Urumqi, Xinjiang. The girlfriends met in a KTV in the city to celebrate her birthday. The birthday cake received by Wang Li looks ordinary at first glance, but as Wang Li pulls it from the top of the cake, the 100 yuan connected end to end is constantly pulled out. Seeing this, people present can't help but exclaim.
In fact, these RMB are props, just to create an atmosphere. However, legal persons believe that it may be illegal for businesses to use RMB as props to make cakes.
This cake was ordered by Wang Li's friend Sharla Cheung (a pseudonym) at a WeChat merchant. "I don't know about this WeChat business. Looking at the content sent in his circle of friends, I felt that this' RMB cake' was very hot, so I ordered one. " Sharla Cheung said.
Recently, the reporter of Legal Daily contacted Zhao Jun (a pseudonym), a baking enthusiast in Urumqi, who once opened a baking workshop.
According to Zhao Jun, when buying drawer boxes and RMB props online, you should put the props in the right place when making cakes, and reserve leads on the finished cakes, so that the RMB can be extracted from the cakes. "This kind of cake is very popular. When I sold the most, I made 8 cakes a week. " Zhao Jun said, "Some customers give cash directly and put the real money in the drawer."
Sharla Cheung hit the nail on the head about the reasons for the popularity of RMB cake: "We are all middle-aged, old and young. This cake satisfies not' appetite' but' psychological expectation'. "
The reporter of "Legal Daily" learned that in the market, there are "rich flowers" as popular as "RMB cakes", that is, making hundred-dollar bills and flowers into flower gifts for people.
During the May Day this year, Ma Jun (a pseudonym), a citizen of Urumqi, gave her a rectangular flower box about 60 cm long when she first met her prospective mother-in-law. After opening, there are two rows of hundred-dollar bills lying in the middle of the delicate flowers. Ma Jun said that he saw a novel gift made of money and flowers on the Internet. The day before he went to his prospective mother-in-law's house, he specially took 20 thousand yuan in cash and asked the florist to help him make a flower gift. Every 65,438+00 hundred-dollar bills are rolled together, * * * rolled into 20 rolls, and placed in a flower box with flowers.
Ma Jun said that he was worried that the money was broken and chose a conservative method. In fact, there are still many consumers who want to use RMB as "wrapping paper" for flowers, such as two hundred-dollar bills to wrap a rose and then make it into a rose bouquet of 19, 33 or 99. To this end, many flower shops specialize in learning how to package flowers in RMB.
"My girlfriend is very satisfied with the gift I sent. Sending' money flowers' is definitely better than just sending flowers! " Ma Jun said, "I used my own money. I didn't steal or rob. This is a legitimate source. "
However, Zhang Haoxuan, a lawyer at Beijing Deheheng (Urumqi) Law Firm, said: "Money cannot be willful."
RMB is the legal tender of our country and a symbol of national economic sovereignty. "Whether it is the fake RMB on the cake or the real RMB used on the flower path, the behavior of the merchant may be suspected of breaking the law." Zhang Yuxuan said.
Article 26 of the Regulations on the Administration of Renminbi in People's Republic of China (PRC) clearly stipulates that acts that are detrimental to Renminbi are prohibited: making, copying and buying and selling Renminbi patterns; Without the approval of the People's Bank of China, use RMB patterns in promotional materials, publications or other commodities. People's Republic of China (PRC) Criminal Law, People's Republic of China (PRC) Lawyers Law, China People's Bank Law and other laws and regulations have also made specific provisions on RMB management.
Article 6 of the Regulations on the Administration of Renminbi in People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that all units and individuals should cherish the Renminbi, and it is forbidden to damage the Renminbi or hinder its circulation.
A staff member of Nanchang Road Flower Wholesale Market in Urumqi told the reporter of Legal Daily that they accidentally poked the RMB due to the restriction of tying techniques when making RMB bouquets. Moreover, after receiving the flowers, customers may tear up the RMB when withdrawing money because the binding is too tight.
It is reported that if the business violates the relevant regulations, according to the Regulations on the Administration of RMB in People's Republic of China (PRC), the relevant law enforcement departments will give a warning, confiscate the illegal income and illegal property, and impose a fine of more than 3 times the illegal income 1; If there is no illegal income, a fine ranging from 1,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan shall be imposed.
