Text] Chapter 704 Continue the investigation - In March 2005, a Hong Kong businessman named "Zheng Ze" came to Hohhot, Nei Ming, claiming to be the chairman of the board of directors of Hong Kong Golden Eagle International Group Investment Co., Ltd. He led A brilliant idea like a "myth" came: building the "tallest building in the northwest" - Golden Eagle International CBD (Central Business District) in the bustling commercial area of ??Hohhot. The building is 169 meters high, with a construction area of ??650,000 square meters and an investment of 5.3 billion yuan. , completed in two years. This "big deal" immediately attracted the attention of the Hohhot Municipal Government, and it was listed as a gift project for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the M-ng Autonomous Region in 2007. In order to ensure the progress of the project, the local government took a series of "extraordinary actions." . In the early morning of May 17, 2005, with a muffled sound, the 11-story command building of the Hohhot Public Security Bureau, which had just been built four years ago, was blown up. The purpose was to make room for the "tallest building in the northwest." This directional blasting was also called. "The first explosion in the northwest" Then, the three dormitories of the former city government building, Longhai Commercial Building, First People's Hospital Health Care Building, and Municipal Public Security Bureau were demolished one after another, and "Zheng Ze" was located in a prime location on Zhongshan West Road in Hohhot. More than 50 acres of land. Due to the "special handling", Golden Eagle Company almost had the green light to do business in Hohhot. It quickly registered with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce m-n and applied for the "Project Planning Permit", "Land Planning Permit" and "Real Estate". "Development Qualification Certificate", "Construction Permit" and "Land Use Rights Certificate". However, despite receiving all kinds of incredible preferential policies, the "strong" Golden Eagle Company had no capital to inject, and the "tallest building in the northwest" soon became a mess. It even raised funds illegally, which aroused public doubts and the attention of the police. The relevant person in charge of the Neimanggu police said: "Based on the feedback of the people, we compared and analyzed various intelligence information at the time." Zheng Ze. "It doesn't look like a serious businessman." As the police investigation unfolded, the "myth" was shattered, and a jaw-dropping scam surfaced (2) "Zheng Ze" was originally named Wang Xiniu, born in 1958 He attended primary school for five years at Longgan Lake Farm in Huangmei County, Hubei Province. He learned to be a carpenter at the age of 13 and became a farm carpenter in 1974. The locals called him "Wang Carpenter" and left the farm to start a career in 1984. He has opened dance halls, roller skating rinks, run guesthouses, and operated hotels, but he has achieved nothing. In September 1998, he was detained by the Nanjing police on suspicion of falsely reporting registered capital. The following year, he was released on bail pending trial. In 2016, "Wang Carpenter" moved to Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province with a fake registered residence and changed his name to "Zheng Ze", and his age was reduced by 11 years. The police found that "Wang Carpenter" had 6 names: Wang Xiniu, Wang Yawei, Wang Shiwei, Shu Bing, Wang Wei and Zheng Ze each registered a company and married a "wife", and four of them gave birth to children. What is the truth about the Hong Kong Golden Eagle Company? A registered "three-no" company has no office space, no funds, and no staff. In February 2001, Wang Xiniu learned that the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region government wanted to renovate Ningxia hotels, so he went to Ningxia and promised to invest 456 million yuan to renovate Ningxia hotels and cooperate in building the "Ningxia International Village", and signed an investment contract with the district government office. On July 21 of the same year, the two parties signed an agreement to establish a Sino-foreign joint venture. Ningxia provided construction land and Golden Eagle invested 380 million yuan to jointly develop farms and other areas surrounding the autonomous region government. After getting the land, Golden Eagle Company certainly had no money to invest, but "Wang Carpenter" had a way. He used the "empty-glove" method to launch a series of dazzling fraud operations. He defrauded 32 bidders of 20.75 million yuan in bid deposits by not opening bids and not returning bid deposits after bids were opened. By fictitious loan entities, house replacement mortgages, etc., he defrauded the Yinchuan Dongcheng District Branch of the Ningxia Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the China Agricultural Bank of China Ningxia Branch Yinchuan New District Branch made 179 loans of approximately 109 million yuan; defrauded 149 companies of project and material payments totaling approximately 380 million yuan; using a high interest rate of 20 as bait, illegally raised approximately 318 million yuan from Yinchuan citizens Yuan. With the money in hand, "Wang Carpenter" has no intention of building a house. Five years have passed, and the "Ningxia International Village" has only built a framework. After the capital chain of "Ningxia International Village" was broken, "Wang Carpenter" set his sights on Hohhot again. His deception in Hohhot was almost a replica of Ningxia: in May 2005, he defrauded the Hohhot city government of 459 million yuan in land use rights and forced the construction of the Golden Eagle International CBD project. During the implementation of the project, he defrauded the engineering contractor of 220 million yuan in advance funds, the material supplier of 10,000 yuan, the bidder's deposit of 46.59 million yuan, and the pre-sale housing funds of 77.59 million yuan. Including illegal fund-raising and land fees, the total amount of fraud was more than 810 million yuan. After repeated deceptions, "Wang Carpenter"'s appetite became even greater. He used advertising fees on credit to overwhelmingly promote a more gorgeous "F-I soap bubble" in mainland China's large and small media: a "CBD" would be built in each of the capitals of China's five ethnic minority autonomous regions. heHe began to operate in Nanning, Urumqi and other places, trying to use the same deception to make up for the broken capital chain between Hohhot and Yinchuan City. Police investigation showed that Wang Xiniu defrauded 1.758 billion yuan in Ningxia and Hohhot. Although the construction projects in both places were unfinished, his own pockets were bulging. From September 2001 to January 2007, he remitted more than 94 million yuan defrauded to his personal account in Beijing and squandered 14.56 million yuan of it. He bought high-end cars such as BMW, Bentley, and Mercedes-Benz, wore Vacheron Constantin brand watches, and purchased real estate. How good is a carpenter that he can deceive the governments of two regions? Wang Xiniu knows a lot about this. He confessed: "Archimedes said that if he is given a fulcrum, he can move the earth. My law is: if I grasp the weakness of a government leader, I can stir up a city." Overview of "Wang Carpenter" The essence of the deception can be summed up in four words: do what you want. Some people like to "climb wealth and become noble", so Wang Xiniu puts on extravagant performances. When he went to Hohhot to "invest", he took a stretched Cadillac sedan and was followed by eight bodyguards. The bodyguard is wearing a black suit, a crew cut, and sunglasses. He paid 80,000 yuan a day to occupy a floor of a five-star hotel, and the corridors were guarded by bodyguards. Whenever a leader came to visit, he would reach out and the bodyguard behind him would immediately hand over a Cuban cigar and light it with a click. There was a classic conversation between the police and "Wang Carpenter". Police: "What is a CBD project?" Wang Xiniu: "I don't know either. It's a foreign name. My secretary knows what it means."
