Chapter 93 Section 93 Official Honor

Good people sometimes inevitably walk with ignorance.On the issue of smuggling, in addition to the overall interests of the country and the nation being damaged, all individuals seem to be the beneficiaries of immediate interests.It is conceivable that when the special task force eradicates the "tumor" of smuggling in Yuanhua, what they have to face is a huge invisible whirlpool and forces in the society.The special case personnel walked on thin ice, and blazed a "bloody road" in the whirlpool torrent. It is really not easy to conquer this fortress. So many enterprises and government officials were co-opted and corrupted by Lai Changxing, "taking all" along the way.Some people say that Xiamen, what a beautiful city, what a special economic zone with great potential for development, but the crazy smuggling of the Lai Group has made it cloudy and cloudy.Lai Changxing really played Xiamen people miserably, this is a crime against Xiamen.

A person who knew Lai Changxing and was aware of the scale and methods of Yuanhua's smuggling said that Lai Changxing was bluffing and defrauding in Xiamen. The project was still a large amount of loans from local banks. He transferred all the smuggled sales funds to Hong Kong, leaving little money in his account in Xiamen.He also holds multiple passports in order to flee at any time.In addition, although there have been many business projects in the past few years, they have paid very little tax and have not contributed much to the Xiamen Special Economic Zone.

Lai Changxing turned from an authentic Hokkien to a Hong Kong businessman, from an ordinary farmer who didn't graduate from elementary school and couldn't write his own name well to a billionaire, which is really worth pondering.This is a product of China's specific historical society, a historical freak bred by the marriage of smuggling and corruption in the chaos of social change. Lai Changxing has no industry, no patents, and no skills, but what makes him outstanding is that he believes in a deadly truth, as long as he manages officials, large and small, to the satisfaction of them, develops and utilizes their power resources, large and small, and is not afraid of smuggling If tax evasion fails, you are not afraid of unsatisfactory personal capital accumulation.In Lai Changxing's view, managing officials is much easier than market competition.Although the cost of investing in officials is not low, he gets more returns from officials.

After going back and forth, his relationship with many local officials in Xiamen and even some high-ranking officials in Beijing became like brothers.In the eyes of many people, Lai Changxing is not only an image of a rich and powerful tycoon, but also a special person with a background and background worthy of admiration.

On May 1, 1994, Lai Changxing's 70-year-old mother passed away in her hometown of Shaocuo Village. Many local officials in southern Fujian personally came to express condolences to Lai's mother whom she had never met. Send condolences.The local government asked several nearby elementary schools to suspend classes for two days. The children were mobilized to participate in a grand funeral.

There were nearly 400 wreaths, and 120 vehicles were dispatched, including army vehicles. The mourning procession numbered 4,000 to 5,000 people. The TV station even sent people to record the scene of Lai's mother's funeral. This video is said to be It takes 4 hours to watch.
