Chapter 20 "Rushing the crown and being greedy" is the beauty

The anti-corruption bureau of the Beijing Municipal People's Procuratorate investigated and handled the huge corruption and bribery case of Zhao Ange, the former vice president of the Bank of China.Due to the importance and sensitivity of this case, the whole process has been kept in a "sealed" state.Approved by relevant departments, the reporter exclusively interviewed members of the special case team. Through a large number of file materials, he was surprised to find that the person who was so famous and powerful at the time became a lifelong prisoner in just a few years. Deadly situation.

When the wheel of time turned back to the early morning of the "May 4th" Youth Day in 1995, a crisp gunshot in the suburbs shook the entire capital.Wang Baosen, former member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and executive deputy mayor, committed suicide by drinking a bullet. Many crimes and criminal clues related to him became a mystery for a while.But soon, the public security organs caught one of Wang Baosen's former lovers, a woman named Zhao Kexin (pseudonym), who fled in a hurry. This is a 24-year-old young and beautiful woman. What is more tasteful than her appearance is her gentleness, delicateness and charm that men cannot resist.Knowing the "bad news" that the "lover" had left her, out of self-preservation, Zhao Kexin took the initiative to report and expose the crime of the "lover" without waiting for the public security organs to pry her open.Based on relevant clues, the investigation agency finally brought to light the shocking case of Wang Baosen embezzling more than 2 million yuan and misappropriating more than 300 million yuan of public funds.Since Zhao Kexin had no real relationship with Wang Baosen's corruption, after more than a year of strict scrutiny by relevant authorities, she was freed.

I don't know whether it's the woman's infinite charm or the men's lack of self-control. Eight years later, Zhao Kexin, the woman who was acquitted at the time, gave way to the powerful former Bank of China Vice President Zhao Ange. the horse! When a pair of heavy handcuffs were added to his hands, the former "live God of Wealth" was so similar to what Zhao Kexin said when he was in criminal detention: "I knew there would be such a day, but I didn't expect it to come so soon .It's time to go too!" The Zhao Ange case originated from the "collapse" case of the executives of the Kaiping branch in Guangdong Province. In September 2001, the Audit Department of the Bank of China Headquarters discovered that more than 800 million U.S. dollars of joint bank funds in the Kaiping Sub-branch of Guangdong Province had disappeared during the national inspection of the Bank of China system every ten years, which caused shock In the financial industry at home and abroad, the Bank of China Kaiping Sub-branch in Guangdong Province has a major case of embezzlement and theft of funds from affiliated banks.

The case shocked the central government! After careful investigation and evidence collection, the case was quickly cleared up, but nearly 800 million U.S. dollars of stolen money had already been transferred to the accounts of Xu Chaofan, Yu Zhendong and others in Hong Kong, the United States, and Canada, some of which were already in the Gambling companies squandered it. 800 million! An astronomical figure!Where are the rules and regulations of the bank?Where is the supervision system of the bank?Without the consent of the superior bank, how could these people succeed step by step? In order to reveal the mystery, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Beijing Procuratorate set up a "September 11 Task Force" to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Zhao Ange.

The investigators were surprised to find that Zhao Ange came to this point, apart from greed, the money he grabbed was largely used to satisfy the endless desires of his lover Zhao Kexin.What's even more staggering is that Zhao Kexin may be very unfamiliar when it comes to mentioning her "ex-lover".He was Wang Baosen, former member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and executive deputy mayor, who committed suicide by drinking a bullet. This is very interesting. Zhao Ange's hometown is in Hebei, his father is an educator, and his mother is a state cadre.Both parents were transferred to work in the Northeast shortly after they got married. On June 19, 1950, Zhao Ange was born in Shenyang, Liaoning.Zhao Ange's parents are very loving. Before giving birth to Zhao Ange, his father promised to let the first child follow his wife's surname.

After Zhao Ange was born, because he was the eldest son in the family, his parents loved him beyond words, especially his mother, who cared and loved him very much. Zhao Ange felt his mother's heavy love for him since he was a child.Mother Zhao paid great attention to the training and education of Zhao Ange.Later, Zhao Ange's parents transferred back to Beijing from the Northeast, and Zhao's mother tried every means to get Zhao Ange to go to college.In the era when intellectuals had to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants, it was a thankless thing to do. However, under Zhao's mother's insistence, Zhao Ange successfully graduated from the University of International Business and Economics in China in 1976 and entered China in the same year. Bank head office work.

In September 1995, the 45-year-old Zhao Ange reached a peak in his official career. He was appointed as the vice president of the Bank of China. In November of the same year, he served as the executive director of the board of directors of the Bank of China.At this time, Zhao Ange had truly become a high-ranking, independent deputy ministerial cadre. Every family has its cupboard.A man who is successful in his career needs the safe haven of family to rest his body and mind.But when the safe haven is full of wind and rain every day, what will the man feel after a day outside. Zhao Ange's words may be worth tens of millions outside, but at home, he became a needless victim.It's not that Zhao Ange has any conflicts with his parents, he is recognized as a filial son.The problem lies in the war between two women that every man wants to avoid but can't avoid-the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Zhao Ange's wife was met when he went to the countryside.In adversity, people are most likely to be conquered by emotions, and a little love is worth paying back in a lifetime.Zhao Ange's family is a typical intellectual family, so it became a crime at that time, and it became the background of being despised.Zhao Ange met a private teacher in the small mountain village where she went to the countryside. She was straightforward and had the most simple and inexplicable concern for this young man from the capital Beijing. When returning to the city, Zhao Ange said to her, come with me, jump out of this small mountain village, the world outside is very big.She believed it, but she and Zhao Ange were both wrong, because Zhao's mother didn't like her from the beginning to the end, from talking to doing things, Zhao's mother just couldn't get along with her.At first, Zhao Ange thought it was due to the difference in life, so she kept coordinating between the two women, trying hard to heal the gap between the two, but the result of doing so was that the two were not human.

Zhao Ange's pain increased with his promotion, which made him very tired.Family conflicts were gradually escalating, and Zhao Ange was miserable. The marriage lasted for more than ten years. The wife understood her husband's difficulties and finally agreed to divorce Zhao Ange.After the divorce, Zhao Ange did not treat his wife badly, and he tried his best to compensate her.However, Zhao Ange's heart was very depressed, why didn't he long to have a beloved woman by his side. In 1995, Zhao Ange, who was only 45 years old, became the vice president of the Bank of China. At this time, he already held the power of approval and became the "God of Wealth" of subordinates competing for public relations.

The mother loves her son dearly. She knows that on the surface, Zhao Ange "talks all the way", but he is alone in life. How much he needs a woman by his side!For this reason, she took a lot of trouble to explain to Zhao Ange, but either Zhao Ange didn't like it, or she thought the woman was not pleasing to the eye, so the time passed by in a flash. However, after that banquet, everything changed. It was one night in 1997. When Zhao Ange was about to leave work, Zhao Ange's cell phone rang, and he knew at a glance that it was another endless party.But the call was made by a firm buddy, so Zhao Ange still picked up the phone.

"You must come! Although you are the dignified vice president, I don't ask you to do anything. This occasion is specially prepared for you. It is a very important occasion, which is related to your happiness in the rest of your life." The phone hangs up.Another excuse, nothing more than trying to pull him out.To be honest, in his position, he has never seen any woman, but he has never met a woman who really fascinated him.He knew that his buddies would not dare to lie to him, so could he still find happiness for the rest of his life?He has some doubts. The banquet scene is not big, just set up a table.Two strong buddies, accompanied by a lady.Zhao Ange has a bold personality, and speaks very simply and concisely. He intentionally complained loudly that he had too many things to do and that he was late, but he glanced at the woman without losing the opportunity.Just this one glance is doomed to make mistakes in this life. The woman looked like she was about 27 or 28 years old. She was very well-dressed, unassuming and full of connotations, especially her eyes, which were very understanding.Zhao Ange's mood became more comfortable. He sat down on the guest of honor seat gracefully, and took off his coat.Unexpectedly, the woman stood up gently, walked to Zhao Ange's side, and gently took it. This move is small, but also big. When the two buddies saw each other, they smiled and looked at each other.Zhao Ange remained calm, but his heart was as warm as spring.He smiled and nodded towards the woman, the atmosphere was surprisingly good. A buddy is a buddy, and he knows Zhao Ange best.They briefly introduced this woman to Zhao Ange, and then they found a reason to leave the banquet.Zhao Ange's brain is so clever, he remembered everything at once: Zhao Kexin is the manager of a large model agency company in Beijing, and his hometown is Harbin.Hearing that they were all from the Northeast, Zhao Ange felt a special intimacy with the woman in front of him.Zhao Kexin was very good at business, so she called the waiter to change the high-alcohol baijiu to low-alcohol, Zhao Ange smiled and asked her why.Zhao Kexin told the truth, she said that the president must have entertainment, drinking too much alcohol will damage his body in the long run, she is lucky to see the president today, and she doesn't want to make the president too tired. Zhao Ange listened, but his eyes were not idle. He had read countless people, and he was sure that this woman was speaking from her heart.Zhao Ange took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said, "It doesn't matter, it's rare to meet a bosom friend. It's nice to meet Ms. Zhao, thank you very much for your concern. After all, I'm from the same village, so I'm also very happy. Come on, you can do whatever you want, I'll do it." " Zhao Kexin was so flattered that he drank the wine in his glass.In the past, when people were begging him or he was begging others for entertainment in the wine shop, the wine would be very painful. Sometimes, if he drank too much, he would easily think about the things that were not going his way at home, so he would be even more distressed.Perhaps it was because there was no pressure from socializing in the wine halls, or because he met such a delicate and tender woman, Zhao Ange felt that the wine tonight was extraordinarily delicious.After several glasses of wine, Zhao Kexin's face turned red. "President Zhao." Zhao Kexin seemed to have something to say. "Brother Zhao. We were one family five hundred years ago." Zhao Ange said very bluntly. The relationship became closer all of a sudden. Zhao Kexin didn't hide anything either, she told her experience with tears in her eyes.Father, mother, and older brother are all workers, and one older sister works part-time in her hometown.Forced to make a living, I came to Beijing alone to make a living, and was deceived by others and others.Later, because I was quite beautiful, I went to work in a modeling agency.Zhao Ange listened carefully, but his face remained calm. He was thinking carefully about every word this woman said. Zhao Kexin said frankly: I have no relatives in Beijing, and the greatest capital of a woman is her beauty, so relying on her beauty, she also met many powerful people, including Wang Baosen, who was very popular back then.At that time, because I was young, I had suffered and been deceived in dealing with the relationship with the powerful. Of course Zhao Ange understands the subtext behind what Zhao Kexin said, "I have suffered and been deceived".Zhao Ange, who had been in the officialdom for many years, had heard about Wang Baosen's affair, but today when he heard that the woman in front of him was very familiar with Wang Baosen, and even had an unusual relationship, Zhao Ange was still surprised, but his face Still no change. Zhao Ange has seen too many impersonations, even if she was Wang Baosen's lover before, so what?A woman is a woman, it can't explain anything before, the key is to see how she treats you now.It is useless to say a thousand words, the key is to look at actions.Compassionate, frank and without affectation, Zhao Ange has a good impression of this woman in his heart. Zhao Kexin's excellence lies in the fact that she understands men's psychology best, and knows what kind of man cares most about.She knew that she was already a young lady, and she could only hold on to a man with her body for a while, but not for a lifetime. What's more, Zhao Ange was a special man with a high position, a successful career, but a failed marriage.From the first day she met Zhao Ange, she knew that this man might be the only chance for her to make a comeback. After meeting at that banquet, Zhao Kexin seized the opportunity tightly.She never called Zhao Ange during work hours, her calls were very timely and she always called Zhao Ange when she was free.Zhao Ange was also very happy to receive her call.After receiving her call, Zhao Ange felt relieved as if he had taken a reassuring pill.On the phone, Zhao Kexin treated her husband carefully and gently. When it was convenient, Zhao Ange invited her to watch a show, have a meal, and chat with her.As if he had regained his youth, he felt that this woman might be the one he wanted. Time is the best thermometer, and the relationship between Zhao Ange and Zhao Kexin is rapidly heating up.Finally, on a date three months later, what was supposed to happen happened naturally. Zhao Ange confessed to Zhao Kexin that he likes her, but whether they can get together, there is the last and most difficult hurdle - mother.Zhao Kexin smiled: "Don't worry, my family is all in the Northeast, now I have another mother in Beijing, how wonderful!" Zhao Kexin wasn't just being perfunctory, she firmly grasped the old man's heart after meeting Zhao's mother for the first time.Zhao Kexin didn't win the old man's favor by being coquettish and befriending. She knew that the old man needed the most care, and she also knew that the old man liked obedient women the most. This was indeed an advantage for her.Sure enough, mother Zhao fell in love with Zhao Kexin as soon as she saw her.In Zhao's mother's eyes, this "little Zhao" was fast and quick in work, well-spoken, and comfortable, plus he was considerate to Zhao Ange, and at such a young age, what more could he ask for?Another very important point is that Zhao's mother was not in good health at the time, and Zhao Kexin was very skillful in helping the old man as soon as they met. Zhao Ange was very moved and the old man was very relieved. With her mother's acquiescence, Zhao Ange's heart finally fell to the ground. Now that you have become your own family, of course you have to do things for your own family, which is justified, let alone for the common tomorrow of the two of you. In 1998, Zhao Kexin told Zhao Ange that a friend in Hong Kong wanted to do a highway project, but failed to get a loan.Easy!Zhao An's singer has a lot of loans, in a word, it's done! After the event was completed, the Hong Kong boss of course knew how to repay Zhao Kexin. After Zhao Kexin bought the Silver Lake Villa, he obediently presented lighting decorations worth nearly 2 million Hong Kong dollars. In 2000, the head office of the Bank of China wanted to purchase a staff dormitory building, and Zhao Ange was in charge of the matter.The chairman and general manager of the sales department of Beijing Huayuan Real Estate Company, who smelled the smell of meat, tried their best to find Zhao Ange.Zhao Ange didn't agree, he was probing, because Zhao Kexin once told him that it's not the same for anyone who does this kind of thing! Later, the boss of the real estate company invited Zhao Ange to dinner several times, and finally made it clear: Zhao Ange can be given 1% of the entire project cost as a bonus.Zhao Ange didn't express his opinion, he wanted to find an opportunity to ask Zhao Kexin if he was interested.As soon as Zhao Ange talked about this project, Zhao Kexin was tempted. She was quite scheming, and felt that she should not be too eager for the foreign money that was about to be acquired, which would make Zhao Ange look down on herself.She told Zhao Ange: "This matter can be done, but it must be safe, and you can't cause trouble for such a trivial matter." She even told Zhao Ange: "You can't do this in the first place. You have to find someone to do it for you. It's best to be in the middle." Go through the procedures a few more times and do it more strictly." Several years later, when Zhao Ange recalled the "teaching" of this woman back then, he told the investigators that he still underestimated this woman and was blinded by "emotions". But at that time Zhao Ange was already immersed in the vortex of "love", he nodded in agreement.Of course he knew that 1% was not a small number, and Zhao Kexin's worries were not superfluous.Zhao Kexin was born a "financial expert", which may have something to do with her experience in the world.Not long after, she had a detailed plan, and after discussing with Zhao Ange, the careful plan was implemented. Zhao Kexin found his elder brother Zhao Deren (pseudonym) who was doing business in Beijing, and Zhao Ange asked his brother-in-law, who was younger than himself, to find the investment company that he had already spoken to, and borrow its official seal to use it, with additional benefits.Then, in the name of this investment company, he signed a fake intermediary agreement with Huayuan, and the 1% was paid as an intermediary commission. Zhao Ange used his influence in the head office to finalize the purchase of staff dormitories. On December 10, 2000, Bank of China Beijing Branch signed a formal purchase contract with Huayuan Real Estate Company, with a total cost of 190 million yuan.Both Zhao Kexin and Zhao Ange felt that the 1% was worth it. On February 14, 2001, under the assignment of Zhao Ange and Zhao Kexin, Zhao Deren went to Huayuan Real Estate Company and took away a check of 1.9 million yuan.In order to avoid the eyes of others, Zhao Kexin found the financing company in person, borrowed the company's account to withdraw the money, and raised 560,000 yuan in cash.All the money was used to buy the Silver Lake villa. In Zhao Kexin's words, "I have been the God of Wealth all my life, and I can't even have a temple when I get old."Zhao Ange also knew that this was all for the future of the two of them, after all, it was impossible to sit in this position for a lifetime. One day in September 2002, Zhao Ange heard the wind, and he notified Zhao Kexin immediately, asking her to hide outside.Zhao Kexin knew that things were about to "discover", so of course it was the best policy to run away, but she deliberately showed an infatuated look, saying that she would not leave and would "advance and retreat together" with Zhao Ange. Zhao Ange was very moved, but he didn't think about the seriousness of the matter. He even confidently told Zhao Kexin that he had moved the country's money, but after all, there was no loss.What he is very worried about now is the money for buying the villa. If the money is fixed, he will be in trouble.He comforted Zhao Kexin: "It's best for you to go abroad first, and I will go to you after the matter is settled." Zhao Kexin bid farewell to his "lover" "reluctantly". Before leaving, he said, "I want to say goodbye to our mother (to visit Zhao Ange's mother's grave) before I leave." However, Zhao Kexin, who cried like tears in front of him, slipped away faster than a mouse - when the investigators of the special case team went to arrest her, she had already fled overseas. Reluctantly sending Zhao Kexin away, Zhao Ange immediately called his brother-in-law Zhao Deren and told him to hide quickly.Zhao Deren sneaked back to his hometown in Harbin overnight after learning about it.Zhao Deren returned to Heilongjiang by train from Beijing. He didn't dare to go home at first. After a period of time, he saw that there was no news. Zhao Deren thought it was all right, so he sneaked back home one night. In Harbin in December, the gas turns into ice.What Zhao Deren didn't expect was that the investigative agency had been looking for him very hard. As soon as he returned home, he entered the encirclement of the police who had worked so hard for two weeks.When the members of the special case team appeared in front of Zhao Deren who had just woken up from his sleep and revealed their identities, Zhao Deren asked in bewilderment, "How did you find me?" Zhao Deren's question made the task force members dumbfounded, so they had to ask back: "What do you say?" After Zhao Deren arrived at the case, he quickly explained the issue of accepting more than 1.9 million yuan in bribes from Huayuan Company together with Zhao Ange and his younger sister Zhao Kexin. Shortly after Zhao Ange tipped off his lover and his brother, he was criminally detained by the procuratorate. At about 11:00 pm on September 11, 2002, the "September 11 Task Force" began its pre-trial.At first, as expected by the investigators, Zhao Ange refused to admit that he had any problems.At this time, Zhao Ange also wanted to conceal the facts of the crime in order to keep his brother and lover.The investigators of the task force did not rush to involve the facts of the crime, but had extensive exchanges with him.Through prior understanding, they discovered that Zhao Ange paid more attention to others' evaluations of him and was very emotional, so they first affirmed his work performance and contributions in the banking system over the years, affirmed that he was filial to his parents, cared about his younger brother Suo Lige, and had a strong personality. The virtue of family responsibility affirms his bold and courageous personality, and at the same time expresses sympathy for his life that has been tortured by family conflicts for many years.The words of the investigators of the task force pointed to Zhao Ange's pain points. After winning his favor and trust, Zhao Ange began to confide in him.He first talked about his hardships and setbacks from the grassroots to the leadership position, his work performance and outstanding work ability, his contributions to the financial field over the years, and then he and his brother because of The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been tortured in family conflicts all the year round... Zhao Ange realized that only if he had the courage to take responsibility would he not implicate his relatives.After a long period of silence, Zhao Ange, whose psychological defense finally collapsed, successively explained the relevant criminal facts. It took 9 months for the "9.11" project from filing to the end of the investigation.In the end, it was determined that Zhao Ange, together with Li Yaosen and Suo Lige, were suspected of embezzling 50 million yuan of public funds, accepted 1.9 million yuan in bribes from Huayuan Company, demanded 3.31 million yuan in bribes from Ruan, and accepted 570,000 yuan in bribes from Wang Longjun, for a total of 5.78 million yuan in bribes. . The case came to light. On April 2, 2004, Zhao Ange, former vice president of the Bank of China, was sentenced to life imprisonment, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property by the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court on suspicion of accepting bribes, embezzling public funds, and offering bribes. Zhao Ange did not appeal, obviously he knew he deserved what he deserved. (Text/A Ning) The British novelist Defoe said such a meaningful sentence: "A villain who does many evils will never think of the end of his life. If he can predict his destination, he will be so nervous that he will have trouble sleeping and eating, and it will be difficult for him to live a peaceful day." Go down." This sentence is indeed a wise saying.Both Wang Baosen and Zhao Ange seemed to have fallen into the hands of the same woman.From a high-ranking official to a prisoner, is it a woman or yourself to blame?
