In 2002, when the filming of " Liu Laogen 2" started, Zhao Benshan was worried because he couldn't get the investment.
At this time, a person came forward to "help" him.
He leased his Mercedes-Benz S600 and the extended Lincoln sedan to the crew. In addition, it also donated 100,000 yuan in cash for free.
this person is Chen Xianggui .
solved the urgent need, Zhao Benshan is very happy.
"However, I have a condition," Chen Xianggui said with his legs crossed, "I want to show my face in front of the national audience."
Later, "Liu Lao Gen 2" was broadcast on CCTV, and people were awe-inspiring to the justice Secretary Ma was impressed. The actor of
Secretary Ma is Chen Xianggui.
Gradually people discovered that this "secretary horse" is not simple.
He is not a professional actor, but the chairman of a company.
is famous and profitable, and Chen Xianggui's life is like a hang-up, rising all the way. In the heyday of
, spent 1.82 million for his mobile phone number.
However, in 2008, there was news that he was under criminal detention by the public security organs.
And his criminal process is even called a social phenomenon, namely "Chen Xianggui phenomenon".
What crime did Chen Xianggui commit?
The highest realm of liar
"A great deal of afforestation will benefit the country and the people."
At the beginning of the 21st century, many people have seen this catchy advertising slogan on TV.
Chen Xianggui is the chief behind.
As the chairman of Liaoning Wanli Afforestation Co., Ltd., to sit in this position, Chen Xianggui's "career" can be described as prosperous.
And the so-called "cause" refers to his fraudulent techniques.
With just one mouth, Chen Xianggui made countless people willing to spend their life savings, even the famous sketch actors He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin were willing to stand for him.
What's even more powerful is that Chen Xianggui's clever mouth and upright face have also won praise from the country. In the three or four years of
, he was like a gold-absorbing stone, making crazy money, and was as high as 1.3 billion yuan.
You must know that it was only a few years ago, the 2008 Olympic Games had not yet been held, and the housing prices did not soar like an arrow from the string, but Chen Xianggui is already a "billionaire".
And the reason why he can achieve such a consummate fraud technique, but also from his rich and peculiar life experiences.
was born in 1964, an ordinary rural family, Chen Xianggui, like many self-made entrepreneurs, "poor" is the background of his life. There is a saying in
that "the poor will change, the change will pass, and the general will achieve". Chen Xianggui, who has a smart mind, never believes that he will be poor for a lifetime.
The road to success is always tortuous. At the beginning, Chen Xianggui wanted to change his fate through the college entrance examination.
However, he missed college by just a few points that year.
is 18 years old, young and energetic, Chen Xianggui was reluctant to repeat his studies, and turned his head to sign up for the Yakeshi Forest Police Force in Inner Mongolia. When
signed up for the physical examination, an episode occurred.
For enlisted members, the troops have clear height and weight requirements.
Chen Xianggui is lean and can't reach the weight at all. And in order to pass the medical examination, played the first clever trick in his life.
Before his physical examination, he drank a full can of water.
Of course, if only a can of water can get the only enlistment quota, it will not show Chen Xianggui's "extraordinary talent".
In order to overwhelm other applicants, Chen Xianggui showed his excellent eloquence, saying that he was in high school, and he learned faster and more thoroughly than others about the current high-tech forest protection knowledge.
He also said that despite his leanness, as a descendant of a peasant, he is covered instrength. If there is an accident in the forest, he will be the one who rushes ahead the fastest.
Chen Xianggui's hard work was noticed by the leaders of the recruitment station, and he was successfully admitted.
As it turns out, he did.
As the first batch of forest police in China, Chen Xianggui behaved very heroically. He even disregarded his own safety and put out the fire in a huge forest fire, guarding the lush and lush forest.
Moreover, in every forestry theoretical knowledge study, Chen Xianggui can quickly master it. Every time he holds a forest protection conference, he speaks enthusiastically, just like a forestry expert.
If Chen Xianggui has been engaged in the protection of forests, perhaps his life will be a different scene.
However, after the forest fire , he applied to his superiors for discharge.
took a subsidy of 500 yuan, and Chen Xianggui quickly found a job as a salesperson in a washing powder factory.
started from the bottom, and it took Chen Xianggui only 2 years to build a washing powder factory of his own. Although
is only a small factory, Chen Xianggui is full of energy. He accumulates resources while producing.
I have to say that Chen Xianggui is very wise. After a certain amount of accumulation in his hands, he began to engage in research and development, and his "8-minute" laundry product, , not only sold well in the Northeast, but also entered the international stage.
After ten years of sharpening his sword, Chen Xianggui has transformed from a small salesman to a well-known entrepreneur.
However, with a document issued by the Central State Council, Chen Xianggui, who has already made a lot of money, has an idea that is almost crazy.
If this idea becomes a reality, Chen Xianggui will move from "the richest man in the region" to "the richest man in the whole country". At the beginning of the 20th century, the deserts in the northwest were flooded with disasters, and the yellow sand was scraped into Beijing, Tianjin and other places, seriously disrupting people's daily travel. In order to cope with this natural disaster, in 2003, the Central State Council issued the No. 9 document "Decision on Accelerating the Development of Forestry" to encourage people to protect the environment and develop forestry.
has forest work experience and business acumen. Chen Xianggui saw great commercial value in it.
He took a group of people to the Inner Mongolia desert to investigate with great fanfare. After returning, he said that he would respond to the call of the state and vigorously develop forestry. Not long after
, Wanli Afforestation Company was formally established with a registered capital of 10 million.
"There are 9.6 million square kilometers in China. My goal is to make one-thousandth of the land in China green, so that sandstorms will not disturb our lives." plan.
He claimed to the public that he took out 200 million and signed a lease contract for 15 million mu of desert with relevant units, and then purchased some tractors, small planes and other machines for afforestation.
After a while, Chen Xianggui said in a speech that he had completed the task of planting trees on 5,000 mu of land.
"Afforestation is not only related to the living environment of each of us and even our descendants, but also a great project that benefits the country, the people and ourselves."
Chen Xianggui, who has experience in forest conservation, knows the advantages of "planting afforestation" at his fingertips. It quickly gained support from many people. The most tempting thing about
is that Chen Xianggui said that his project has also been authorized and supported by the government. Everyone only needs to invest in wasteland at a very small price. When the wasteland grows into a forest, the income they will get will be dozens of costs. times.
"You invest 26,000 yuan this year, and you can get a rebate of 800,000 yuan in 8 years." The slogan of
made countless people voluntarily take their hard-earned money, invest with Chen Xianggui, and open up wasteland. After
filmed "Liu Laogen 2", Chen Xianggui also attracted screenwriter He Qingkui and starring Gao Xiumin in the play.
twoPeople hype the Wanli Afforestation Project, claiming that they have invested millions of dollars, all of which will be used for afforestation plans of 15 million mu in the desert areas of northern China.
is blessed by celebrities, Chen Xianggui's afforestation plan is progressing very smoothly, and billboards about "Afforestation for Thousands of Miles" can be seen everywhere.
Mr. Liang, who spent 50,000 yuan to invest in the Great Afforestation, later told reporters: "At that time, there were advertisements for the Great Afforestation on many streets in Liaoning, and there were star propaganda on TV, and I heard that the project was awarded a national Strong support."
"Planting trees is a good thing for the country and the people, and there are huge rewards. is more than 10 times more than bank interest. Who wouldn't want to participate in a 'good thing' like !"
Mr. Liang Said that he called the Wanli Afforestation Company, and then a business specialist came to the door to explain to him the specific investment and feedback methods of this project.
A few days later, Mr. Liang was invited to another panel. At the
symposium, a promotional video of Chen Xianggui's early investment in wasteland was broadcast, and then several celebrities came to the stage to explain the various benefits of investing in wasteland.
Under all kinds of deceit, Mr. Liang immediately took out 50,000 yuan.
"It takes ten years for trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. After about 8 years, after the trees grow, you will get a return of 300,000 yuan."
Hearing what the salesman said, Mr. Liang felt that the money was worth it.
According to statistics, most of the people who "invest" in the Wanli Afforestation Project are small business owners, and most of them are men. Mr. Tian from
Jilin said that he also went to Tongliao, Inner Mongolia, to see with his own eyes the 5,000-mu experimental field invested by Chen Xianggui, and then waved his hand and invested 100,000 yuan.
The "investment" of more and more people quickly made Chen Xianggui's pockets bulge. In his heyday, he took 1.82 million and bought a mobile phone number called Lianghao, which was infinitely beautiful.
However, the fake will never become the real, and as Chen Xiangguipu's stall gets bigger and bigger, the loopholes start to be seen everywhere.
Seeing him banqueting guests, seeing his building collapse
Chen Xianggui had already foreseen the situation of "things come to light".
He spent a lot of money to find a particularly strong team of lawyers to serve in the company's legal department. Whenever someone noticed something was wrong, these "powerful" legal affairs would come forward.
Mr. Jiao from Qinhuangdao is one of them. Before retiring, he was a doctor. After retirement, he lived a leisurely life. He occasionally heard about the Great Afforestation Project and invested more than 200,000 yuan in his savings over the years.
Because of the huge amount of investment, Wanli Afforestation Company directly appointed Mr. Jiao as the general manager of Nandaihe area.
Mr. Jiao was deluded by the false name and sought after, and worked very hard to promote the company. However, after a long time, Mr. Jiao noticed something was wrong, and he made a request to the head office to withdraw and get back the 200,000 investment. The
company quickly agreed to his demands, but he didn't know that a bigger conspiracy was brewing. The legal department of
approached Mr. Jiao and asked him to sign a settlement agreement. With little legal knowledge, he glanced at it and signed his name.
I don't know, the "reconciliation agreement" contains a very vague statement that if Mr. Jiao made a unilateral settlement, the company would pay him an additional 200,000 yuan in liquidated damages.
Mr. Jiao thought he had taken advantage of it, but in the next second, Wanli Afforestation filed a public prosecution with the court on the grounds of Mr. Jiao's extortion.
did not get a penny, but ended up in a lawsuit. Mr. Jiao tossed this matter for more than two years. He didn't catch his breath until the Wanli Afforestation Company was put on file for investigation.
is doing illegal activities, and Chen Xianggui is naturally very cautious. As long as someone in the company's management resigns, he will not only personally intervene, but also "do everything possible" to keep him.
One of them was named Tang, and he left without Chen Xianggui's consent.job. After Chen Xianggui learned about it, he sent people to ask around. The group of professional lawyers in the legal department, together with some social figures, found Director Tang and trusted Baozhu. At first, they persuaded him nicely and tricked him into revealing Director Tang's whereabouts. If he couldn't coax him, he punched and kicked him.
Incidents like Mr. Jiao and Ren Baozhu keep happening inside the Wanli Afforestation Company. Some people were deceived and went bankrupt, while others were beaten and admitted to the intensive care unit.
, but Chen Xianggui has nothing to do, and he is soft on receiving money. But doing a lot of bad things makes me feel a little guilty.
In life, Chen Xianggui asks for "good luck" no matter what, even to the point of paranoia.
Once, he actually spent 1.82 million to buy a mobile phone number, just because some people said that this number can break disasters, attract wealth and good luck.
Although Chen Xianggui tried his best to maintain his appearance, as he spent more and more money, the so-called "reforestation plan" was not approved by the relevant departments at all, and his illegal fund-raising was soon exposed in the sun .
On August 22, 2007, the Inner Mongolia public security organs arrested Chen Xianggui, the chairman of the group, which owns 5 companies and more than 40 branches and offices, on suspicion of fraud.
On December 31, 2008, Chen Xianggui was sentenced to 11 years in prison by Higher People's Court for 's fund-raising fraud, 's illegal business operations, etc., and all his personal property of 200 million yuan was confiscated. The case of
caused a violent response at the time, and " People's Daily " even called the case of Chen Xianggui the "Chen Xianggui phenomenon".
So, what does the so-called "Chen Xianggui phenomenon" mean?
One person turned from a hero who benefited the society to a prisoner. The reason is that Chen Xianggui's lofty idea of benefiting the country and the people is just an illusion created by him, and his real purpose is to rely on opportunism to make huge profits.
Maybe this is the ultimate reason for Chen Xianggui's imprisonment.
And such a purpose is unknown to others, but it is impossible for the people around Chen Xianggui not to know.
can learn that after Chen Xianggui was arrested, He Qingkui, the star who used to be on his platform, hired a lawyer to defend him at a high price.
He even said righteously that planting trees is a good thing for the benefit of all mankind, who can contribute to all mankind with such great love as Chen Xianggui? In addition to this,
also issued a solemn statement, claiming that he and Gao Xiumin did not take a penny for the benefit of all mankind during the many times of publicity for the Great Afforestation.
He Qingkui's drunkenness is not about alcohol, but about money and fame.
However, after the Inner Mongolia court pronounced on Chen Xianggui, the judicial audit also obtained a series of related agreements signed by He Qingkui, Gao Xiumin and Chen Xianggui. The endorsement fee, publicity fee and sales commission for the two people totaled more than 6 million yuan.
As the funds were recovered, the Chen Xianggui case and the resulting Chen Xianggui phenomenon gradually fell into the dust.
Conclusion:
Chen Xianggui has already been released from prison after many years. Although he is no longer a momentary rich man, the current status quo is still embarrassing.
On February 13, 2022, some netizens exposed a recent photo of Chen Xianggui.
He was in a suit and leather shoes, and there were still several people around him. The netizen said that although Chen Xianggui was once imprisoned, he still has the same demeanor. He also established to "save half" in line with the development of the times, and his assets are still over 100 million.
Dickens said in "A Tale of Two Cities", "This is the best of times, this is the worst of times."
may be the best interpretation of Chen Xianggui's life.
What do you think about this?
