Chapter 3 Chapter 01 Billionaire Chen Shuibian

Li Qingyuan "Integrity" is one of the three wishes for the governance of the city that Chen Shui-bian publicly declared when he took office as mayor of Taipei on December 25, 1994.But after four years as mayor, Chen Shui-bian has been upgraded from a millionaire to a billionaire.And the four-year mayor's salary, without eating or drinking, is only more than 8 million yuan. If this is Chen Shui-bian's "view of incorruptibility", then the vast majority of political figures in Taiwan are very clean, and there is no "corruption". The problem of "black gold" needs to be eliminated by Ah Bian.

"A-Bian has no burden, only black money can be eliminated." In the 2004 "Presidential" election, the "Presidential" candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, Chen Shui-bian, used this slogan to attract the attention of many people.Many people even believe that among the "presidential" candidates, Chen Shui-bian's integrity is the one that can stand the test the most.As long as someone questioned A-Bian's integrity, someone would immediately say that it was smearing. In fact, if one can put aside ideology, blind obedience, and passion, and is willing to objectively examine the abnormal increase and transfer process of Chen Shui-bian's family property, he will find that the "black gold burden" of A-Bian is himself, and A-Bian must first face up to and eliminate Only because of his own "gold power barriers" will he not embark on the black gold road of many cronies of government leaders in the East.

Everyone knows that the property declaration system of public officials currently implemented by the government tests the minimum moral standards of politicians, because this declaration system has too many loopholes for politicians to exploit.For example, only spouses and minor children are required to declare, so children over the age of 20, and other trusted close relatives, including elders such as parents, parents-in-law, and grandchildren such as grandchildren and grandchildren, all become political figures Ideal head for "money laundering", "possession of property" and tax evasion and avoidance.

Therefore, if a politician declares to the government the property of a public official that is obviously not commensurate with his income, and it is difficult to explain the ins and outs of it reasonably and legally, then there must be something wrong with the conduct of the politician.If the public still supports such politicians, then Taiwan is really going to the realm of black money. Let us estimate the property of Chen Shui-bian's family as of 1999.The so-called "family" here refers to A-bian himself, his wife Wu Shuzhen, his only daughter Chen Xingyu, and his only son Chen Zhizhong.

For example, according to the property data declared by Chen Shui-bian for the 2004 "presidential" election to the Central Election Commission, it is actually difficult for Chen Shui-bian to justify the abnormal surge in his property. For example, when Chen Shui-bian was mayor, other As for the real estate owned by the only son and only daughter who are still studying, it is necessary for A-bian to clearly explain the source of his property. In particular, in A-Bian's property declaration in early February 2004, since his children were all over twenty years old, although they were still studying and not engaged in childbirth, they were not required to declare "according to the law". No one knows how many stocks, other securities, and deposits he still owns, unless A-Bian announces it himself, or the KMT deals with A-Bian's children in the same way as the property of another group of independent "presidential" candidate James Soong. , the truth may come to light.

However, based on the estimated property information of Chen Shui-bian’s family that can be seen, the total market value of A-Bian’s family property, including securities, real estate, deposits, and self-use vehicles, estimated in February 2004, has been expressed in New Taiwan dollars. The 200 million yuan mark is advancing.This does not include the savings and stock market value of their children.In particular, Bian's family has no loans or debts at all. Let’s first look at Ah Bian’s stocks and other securities. Based on the par value of 10 yuan per share, he owns NT$15,058,170, or about 1.5 million shares. , if estimated based on the market value in February 2004, at least 50 million yuan can be obtained after selling.These stocks do not include the 100,000 or 200,000 shares of Nanya Technology held by his only son Chen Zhizhong.

Only by comparing can we know whether there is any ghost in A-Bian's property. Regarding stocks and other negotiable securities, in the property information submitted by Ah Bian to the Control Yuan on March 8, 1995 when he just took office as mayor of Taipei, the total par value of his stocks was only NT$688,000. One thousand three hundred and ten yuan, equivalent to more than 68,000 shares. As a result, after serving as mayor for four years, the face value of his shares has increased by more than 21 times.Let me ask, during the four-year mayor's tenure, Ah Bian did not dispose of any real estate except the mayor's salary. Why did he buy a lot of stocks?In particular, since 1995, the stock market is still said to be stable. Unless Ah Bian and his wife Wu Shuzhen are seriously involved in insider trading, how can they speculate a stock with a market value of 4 to 5 million yuan into 50 million yuan in four to five years? ?

Secondly, based on the assets declared to the Control Yuan on December 15, 1997, the year before A-Bian resigned as mayor of Taipei, the total face value of A-Bian’s shares was 10.14 million. 2,430 yuan, or about 1 million shares, which also includes 145,000 shares of Nanya Technology shares with a par value of 1.45 million yuan for the only son Chen Zhizhong.Comparing this figure with the property of the "presidential" candidate one year after leaving the mayor, you will find an abnormal increase of 500,000 or 600,000 shares of stock.After A-Bian resigned as mayor, he reduced his income and bought 500,000 or 600,000 shares of stock that ordinary citizens would never even think about. Donate money to buy stock certificates for yourself?

These doubts can be resolved as long as Chen Shui-bian spreads all the stock in and out records and financial resources under the sun, but does Ah Bian dare?Ken? In addition, in terms of deposits, there are more doubts, because the changes and fluctuations of stocks are relatively large, and it is difficult to clarify the problem.But for deposits, apart from accruing interest, it is clear whether there is a problem with access or withdrawal.What's more, A-Bian's stock has only increased over the years. A sudden surge in deposits According to the assets declared by Ah Bian on March 8, 1995, the first year he served as mayor of Taipei, the deposit was NT$11,679,364; In early February 2004, the deposits declared by the "presidential" candidates skyrocketed to 54,380,395 yuan, an increase of four or five times.Ah Bian's salary as mayor of Taipei was 142,730 yuan a month in 1995. When he left office at the end of 1998, his monthly salary was only 174,240 yuan. .The mayor’s monthly salary for four years totaled NT$7,618,140, ​​plus year-end bonuses and severance pay. If he didn’t eat, drink, or use it, the total could be tens of millions. Increase deposits by 43 million yuan in just four to five years?

In particular, according to the property declaration materials of public officials of the Control Yuan, A-Bian’s deposits on December 21, 1997, the year before he resigned as mayor, were about 2.5 million yuan, and the total property of Chen Shui-bian’s family was about NT$ 17388395 yuan to 18188395 yuan. Notes: 1. This information is estimated based on the property information of Chen Shui-bian's declared candidate for the 2004 "presidential" election. 2. The value of the stock is based on the stock price in February 2004. The Chen Shui-bian camp estimates it to be about 35 million yuan.

3. Chen Shui-bian's only son, Chen Zhizhong, and his only daughter, Chen Xingyu, have reached the age of 20, so Chen Shui-bian is exempted from declaring their property according to the law. Therefore, unless Chen Shui-bian voluntarily announces it, it is impossible to know how much other property his children currently own. 4. The deposits are all named Chen Shuibian and Wu Shuzhen, but the election account under Chen Shuibian's name accounts for 33,968,567 yuan and only 5,263,970 yuan. However, in 1999, the year after A-Bian resigned as mayor, in just two years, his deposits soared to more than 54 million yuan in one fell swoop, a tenfold increase. The deposits are all in the names of Chen Shui-bian and Wu Shuzhen, but not in the name of the "Formosa Foundation", which is even more controversial. After Ah Bian resigned as mayor, he was busy all day trying to get nominated for the primary election of the Democratic Progressive Party's "presidential" candidate, and then went into the general election. Over the years, Ah Bian's other properties have only increased, so it is obvious that there is a serious problem with the source of this huge deposit. According to A-Bian's declaration, more than 33.9 million yuan of the more than 54 million yuan in deposits are election political donations from consortium companies and supporters, but putting the election donations in their own name is considered "Family property" is inevitably flawed. It stands to reason that he should put these donations under the name of "Formosa Foundation", at least on the surface, it will look better, and it will be more accountable to supporters. However, after deducting this political contribution, Ah Bian's deposit in February 2004 was as high as 20.41 million yuan, which was the same as the 5.2 million yuan declared by Ah Bian the year before he left office as mayor. Compared with more than 10,000 yuan, it is also a sudden increase of 15 million yuan in deposits in just two years. If this figure is added to the sharp increase in stocks during this period, no matter how you calculate it, there is a big problem with the source of A-bian's wealth.In short, Chen Shui-bian should spread the word out to the people.Otherwise, how could he justify his slogan "A Bian has no burden, only black gold can get rid of it"?
