The first stage involved offering extremely low initial transportation rates and even "helping" with small loans for farming equipment. At first glance, it looked like a generous opportunity. As a result, the village would gradually stop seeking other buyers or transportation partners, unknowingly tightening the noose around their own necks while believing they had secured a stable and reliable partner.
The second stage was the debt trap. They would slowly introduce the so-called 'hidden fees' such as fuel surcharges, mountain risk premiums and vehicle wear and tear fees. These charges would appear one after another, carefully calculated and deliberately justified. In the end, they would deduct the money directly from the sales revenue, causing the village's profit to drop to near zero without the villagers even realising how deeply they had fallen into the trap.
