Chapter 25 Chapter 25

In 1997, Dongfang Company was sued by a company in Hong Kong and a company in Nanjing, all claiming that it had shipped 30,000 tons of crude oil, but Dongfang Company did not pay for the goods.Cao Xinghai was baffled, and when responding to the lawsuit, he found that the seal of Dongfang Company was forged.Dongfang Company requested to be transferred to the police for investigation, but the two cases were silent soon afterwards, and no plaintiff approached Dongfang Company.It turned out that Lai Changxing came forward in private to settle both cases. Based on this, Cao Xinghai judged that Lai Changxing had engraved Dongfang's seal privately.Lai's unscrupulousness can be seen from this.The inside story of Lai Changxing's smuggling by using Dongfang Company was thoroughly investigated after the confessions of the persons involved in the case and the materials obtained in various links were corroborated.

For Lai Changxing's smuggling, he passed the green light all the way at the port, because he left money to buy the road at all links, and each node has its own network personnel standing guard to escort. The Commodity Inspection Bureau is an important link. The "Commodity Inspection Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that imported refined oil and vegetable oil are legally inspected commodities, and the owner of the goods must report to the Inspection Office of the Commodity Inspection Bureau for quality inspection and weight appraisal; after the declaration, the Inspection Office will notify the Appraisal Office for inspection.The identification results shall be submitted to the Inspection Office, which shall issue a commodity inspection certificate in the name of the Commodity Inspection Bureau.

Therefore, one of the five arrows in the all-round attack was aimed at the Xiamen Commodity Inspection Bureau. On August 20th, the evidence collection team consulted the materials at the Commodity Inspection Bureau and found that the 37 ships listed in the report letter were all missing, and there was a brief record in the work diary. Vegetable oil was unloaded at Botan Oil Depot. complex.The investigators asked the Commodity Inspection Bureau to sort out all import inspection records of refined oil and vegetable oil since 1996.However, the Inspection Office could not find any records of inspection of the two oils.Finally, the original records of more than 100 ships' working documents and commodity inspection reports were found in the appraisal office.According to the statistics, the total amount of edible oil is 342,000 tons, and the total amount of refined oil is more than 1.5 million tons, so why not apply for inspection to the inspection office?Chen Donglin, the deputy director of the Appraisal Division, and the illegal situation of Ke Wei or Zhan, the chief of the assessment department, were exposed.The two were detained by the customs on August 20.

Among the civil servants, the two of them were the first to fall! Lai Changxing found one after another personnel for his use in important positions in various links of the port, and changed the functions of the positions to provide convenience for protecting private interests.Another reason that people don't pay attention to is that there are major obstacles in the operation mechanism and supervision and control efficiency of all links.During the first 10 days of comprehensive attack, the task force found "ant nests" that destroyed embankments in the important links of import and export of ports such as foreign representatives, Sinotrans, port affairs, and port supervision.

On August 20, the investigators of the evidence collection team went to the two units of Xiamen Foreign Exchange and Sinotrans to obtain information on the import and export of oil tankers since 1996.Sensitive investigators immediately discovered that the shipping departments of the two units each hid an "ant nest". After a little fiddle, the "ant nest" appeared within the investigators' sight. The task force has found out that the shipping agent of the "Ruby" and "Sapphire" oil tankers is Xiamen Sinotrans in the preliminary investigation.However, the Shipping Department of Sinotrans could not retrieve the information of these two tankers!Sinotrans's data management personnel and computer operators reported to the investigators: In November 1998, Zhang Beichen, the shipping manager, asked the data officer to retrieve the pre-declaration data of the two oil tankers and destroy them, and asked the computer operator to delete the electronic data of the two oil tankers!

Zhang Beichen was detained by the customs that day: he is the "ant king" who "built a hole" in the shipping agency!According to the report of the ship’s agent and Zhang Beichen’s own confession: Lai Changxing asked Hou Xiaohu to buy Zhang Beichen, instructing Zhang Zai, after the ship’s agent completed the joint inspection procedures, to release the “customs seal” issued by the customs ship management department that involved Kaiyuan Company and Dongfang Development Company. Retained and not sent to the joint inspection data center, so that the ship's manifest cannot enter the customs database.In this way, the customs does not know which ship imports what goods, and of course cannot carry out supervision. The information on the "Ruby" and "Sapphire" tankers was also destroyed by Zhang Beichen under Hou Xiaohu's order!

This is the smuggling method of "declaring the ship but not the goods"!This is the reason why the import and export data of the two oils cannot be retrieved from the databases of Xiamen Customs and General Administration!This is the reason why all imported oil tanker data can be retrieved from the electronic library of China Ocean Shipping Agency Corporation!The mysteries in the secret investigation were solved one by one!
