Chapter 68 take money for life

The interview with Lai Chunan took place in Meizhou Prison. It is reported that most of the prisoners in Meizhou Prison are serious criminals.Lai Chun'an was originally a capital crime, but during the review period, he pleaded guilty with a good attitude, and performed major meritorious service, and the compensation was relatively thorough, so he saved his life and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Entering from the big iron gate of the prison, one has to walk a long way to reach Lai Chunan's prison area.The layout of the prison area is orderly and the atmosphere is tense.From time to time in the yard, you can meet a neat queue of prisoners, shouting passwords, singing queue songs, and the atmosphere of the barracks is very strong.The only difference is that there are high walls all around, there is a power grid, and there are armed police soldiers moving back and forth on the post.

Lai Chunan was called to the office of the squadron headquarters.When Lai Chunan was called to the office, because there was no seat for him, he used to stand at the base of the wall.The guard said loudly, "Lai Chun'an, go back and bring your stool." Lai Chun'an agreed to go out, and after a while came back with a plastic stool, which was shaped like a tree root, like a child's toy.So Lai Chun'an sat down against the wall again.He was already a little short and fat, but when he sat on the small bench, he became even more short and fat.He looked at us very calmly.It seems that Lai Chunan is completely used to life in prison.The "Director Lai" who used to be very domineering and imposing in Puning City disappeared. After only one year in prison, he was brought back to the origin of life, just like before he just joined the army and didn't wear a military uniform more than 20 years ago.At that time, Lai Chun'an looked like an honest farmer.When he first entered the office of the recruiting unit from the field, he must have looked like this now, timid.

Lai Chunan has a violent temper.This is what we heard from those who interrogated him.On the day we met Lai Chunan, we saw a long scar on the front of his head, as if he had been hit with a blunt object.We thought it was the scars left by him when he was a soldier, so we asked: "Lai Chun'an, the wound on your head is from the self-defense counterattack, right?" Lai Chunan nodded hesitantly, which was his answer to us. Someone told us afterwards, how could the injury on his head be from the war?That's what he left when he reviewed it. During the inspection, Lai Chunan took advantage of people's inattention and slammed into the corner of the wall, his scalp was turned over, and blood was bubbling like a fountain...

But Lai Chun'an still did not die, he was rescued. Next, we asked: "Puning's tax fraud is so fierce, are you afraid?" "Of course I'm afraid." "I'm afraid, why do you still do it?" He scratched his bald head and said, "I can't do it." "why?" "If you don't do it, you can't complete the tax task." We were a little puzzled, so we asked: "Then where people follow the rules, don't they also complete the taxation tasks?" "..." Lai Chun'an didn't answer. We then said to him: "The growth of national tax revenue has always been higher than the rate of GDP. Could it be that he is also going astray like Puning?"

"If you don't make a fuss at the beginning, you'll be fine," Lai Chunan said in a loud voice, "The tax plan is increasing year by year. If others can complete it, we can also complete it. However, Puning's problem is no longer two days a day. Damn, false claims and tax fraud have already happened, and the base has been raised year after year. If you don’t do it, you won’t be able to complete the task. If you can’t complete the task, you won’t be able to be the director.” The problems of Chaoyang and Puning are indeed worth thinking about.The reason why these two places have become the hardest-hit areas of tax fraud is related to the rampant activities of tax fraudsters and the assistance of some government departments, but it is not unrelated to our current cadre management system.At present, when we evaluate whether a cadre is incompetent, the most important thing is to look at the numbers.If the task is not completed, it is often rejected by one vote.If the figures of the previous leadership team are not satisfactory, the successor will be in bad luck.Unless you don't want to be an official, if you want to be an official, your number has to go up.So, you have to add water on top of the water.Therefore, like Chaoyang and Puning, the previous financial figures were all false, and the next president has to add to this false figure.If the numbers don't go up, you can only engage in crooked ways.

There seems to be a tendency to use numbers to evaluate cadres in various places.There is a pair of couplets. The upper couplet is: from top to bottom, add weight layer by layer, and code to success; the second couplet: from bottom to top, add water layer by layer, and it will happen naturally;If the numbers here are just mixed with water, the harm will be less. If, like Chaoyang and Puning, the money stolen from the state treasury is used to pad it, the harm can be imagined. It is true that numbers can be an important indicator for cadre assessment, but if the weight of numbers is arbitrarily increased to make it the only indicator for assessing cadre performance, it will make those who do things honestly suffer, and those who are serious about fame and fortune will even suffer. It is speculators who take advantage of loopholes.

When we interviewed in Chaoyang, some tax cadres compared the local government departments and tax fraudsters to "passing flowers by drumming".This "flower" is an explosive that has been ignited. As long as the gongs and drums sound, everyone will try their best to pass the "flower" down to prevent it from exploding in their hands. Our cadre assessment system is also similar to this "drumming and passing on flowers", and there is no strict exit assessment system.When cadres are promoted, whether there are problems before the promotion is often ignored.When you are promoted, it means that you have left the land of right and wrong. As for whether you had bad behavior before you were promoted, and whether you obtained political achievements through illegal means, no one asked.Some cadres had already had bad records before being brought to justice, but they managed to prosper in official career and were repeatedly promoted.This "don't blame the past" cadre appointment system will give people like Lai Chun'an a chance to get results quickly and get promoted quickly.As long as one liter, everything will be fine, everything will be OK.

Next, we asked a question that confused us: "Lai Chun'an, what do you want so much money for?" In front of everyone, Lai Chun'an smiled lightly, and then replied: "I haven't really considered this issue... At first, it was a little exciting and exciting, but later on, I didn't feel it anymore. The reason why I still accept it Other people's money is just because of habit, because of rules." Lai Chunan looked up at us, and then slowly explained: "The so-called rule is that everything is exchanged for money. It's like buying something in a mall. If you want that thing, you have to pay RMB. This is common sense and a rule. .Although I didn’t feel anything when I saw the money after I arrived, I still accepted the money sent by others, mainly because I couldn’t break the rules..."

We believe that what Li Chunan said this time is all the truth.Everything has been settled, he no longer needs to cover up for himself, all embellishments are meaningless to him. Although Lai Chunan's depravity is related to his excessive selfishness and inflated desires, selfishness is not unique to Lai Chunan.Selfishness is a common weakness of human nature, but some people are good at controlling it, while others are more laissez-faire.It would be simplistic to attribute Lai Chunan's depravity to selfishness and greed.Lai Chun'an's development to this point has its own factors, and it is also related to the influence of the social environment on him.In Chaoyang and Puning, the corruption of leading cadres is no longer a matter of one person or two.The Lai Chun'an phenomenon has given us a huge warning, that is, individual corrupt elements are not scary, but what is terrible is that corrupt elements like Lai Chun'an have formed a concept, a phenomenon, and a culture.

In this environment, ordinary people have to submit to the concept of corruption, corruption phenomenon and corruption culture formed by Lai Chun'an, and have to submit to these insurmountable "rules" produced by the deep corruption soil. As Lai Chun'an said, he himself couldn't cheer up when he saw money, but he was still like a listless gatekeeper, he had to be responsible for the rules, and he could only get in with money. Although Lai Chun'an came to the working group on his own initiative, but for him to let go of his worries and explain all the facts of the crime, the leaders of the working group need to do further work.

Prosecutor Li Guangjiang said: "Lai Chunan has a good attitude in pleading guilty. He is not the kind of person who is too scheming, and it can be said that he is a bit straightforward, but he is a grumpy person. At the beginning, he pleaded guilty with a good attitude. Like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, pouring them out all at once, wanting to make a quick decision, and he has the intention of bargaining with us. His subtext is, look, I am enough, I hope you are also enough, and treat me leniently. He thinks too much It’s too simple, and it can be said that you don’t understand the law too much. Once any criminal suspect enters the legal process, he must completely obey the laws of the law’s own construction. It has a scientific and complete system. You must go through this long tunnel Only then can the results be seen. However, Lai Chunan is a quick-tempered person and a person who does not understand the law. He presumes the judiciary department and the review department based on his assumptions. Considering that he had more families, he went to extremes and wanted to die. When the guards were unprepared, he hit his head against the wall and his scalp turned over. Later, he bit his tongue and had three stitches. Under our education, he soon stabilized again .He not only confessed his crimes, but also reported and exposed others, and performed meritorious service. We fully considered these circumstances when prosecuting, and reached an agreement with the defense. Lai Chunan was finally sentenced to life imprisonment for several crimes." Although Lai Chun'an has tens of thousands of wealth, he has never been seen squandering it.He doesn't prostitute or gamble, and he hasn't heard rumors that he has a mistress.The reason why he didn't move the money may have been expected to end up in jail one day.He wanted to use the money to redeem his life.
