There are a few possibilities, all of which are common arrangements in this industry.
First possibility, which others mentioned already. She is actually working independently and accepts referrals from any agents or sources. She gives her rate to the agencies and the agencies add whatever profit margin they want on top of it. So a number of different agencies might all be listing the same MM simultaneously under different names and for different prices.
Sometimes random agent-wannabes will offer to send customers to established agencies for a referral fee. And so this second tier of agents who haven't even seen the girl will just open a Wechat account post ads with fake pics and ridiculously descriptions to lure customers. And the prices will be sky high simply because there is now more than 1 layer of middle-man fees. However they will always claim to be exclusive high-end providers who are first timers, etc etc.
Second possibility is that the MM is agency sampling. Meaning she rotates between different agencies on different days of the week. The agencies don't want to admit that they are forced to accept such terms (image is important to them), so they just leave the MM up on their ads even on days which she is not actually working there. The keeper will tell you she is fully booked rather than admit the truth.
Third possibility is that the MM has already left the agency, but perhaps said that she will return later. So they keep her on the ads. Once again the image of having a large agency with a big roster of girls is important.
Fourth possibility is that the some agencies have agreements with each other to either share girls, or send excess customers that they are unable to serve to each other (for a fee of course). So even though the MM technically is working for 1 of the agencies, the other affiliated agencies will list her on their own rosters as well. |
