Chapter 7 Chapter Six "Director Sanguang" Zhang Baojing

In order to prove his ability, Zhang Baojing, the director of the Third Electricity Office of Mentougou District, who lost 4 million yuan in business with the greedy money, took his own future and life to lead a group of unemployed people to Macau, Vietnam, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Myanmar and other countries and regions gambled, and even spent a lot of money on the famous "Oriental Princess" and the Lisboa Casino. A nickname of "Zhang Shuguang". On August 4, 2006, Zhang Baojing was sentenced to death by the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court in the first instance for corruption, with a two-year reprieve, deprived of political rights for life, and confiscated all personal property.

Due to serious flaws in the supervision system, the Sandian Office in Mentougou District, Beijing, has become a "three no management", and the deputy director has become the "Sanguang Director" who has lost everything and squandered everything, causing serious losses to national property, which is really worth it Attract the attention of relevant departments.As another typical example of "petty official with big corruption", Zhang Baojing has embezzled more than 6 million yuan and has not been discovered for 9 years. His depravity is thought-provoking.When talking about his criminal motives, Zhang Baojing said: "I joined the work in 1975. I have been working hard and hardworking for 30 years. I was once rated as an advanced worker. But because of conflicts with the leadership, I have a bad relationship with the two directors. After suffering setbacks at work, I started doing business to prove my ability. I lost money in business and then gambled to prove myself. In order to show and prove myself, I gathered a group of buddies to gamble. Now I regret it very much. I took my money. The future and life are at stake."

Low in and high out, easy to earn 6.89 million yuan "price difference" Zhang Baojing was born in Xuanwu District, Beijing on March 2, 1955. He has been an ordinary maintenance worker in the Power Supply Bureau of Mentougou District, Beijing since he started working. His education is only a college education.In the ten years before he became the deputy director of the Three Power Office, Zhang Baojing was a person who was often ignored by everyone. In the early 1990s, in order to solve the power shortage problem, the government implemented a temporary policy of raising funds to use electricity.Subsequently, the Mentougou Power Supply Bureau established the Office of "Planning, Saving, and Safe Use of Electricity", referred to as the "Three Electricity Office".The Sanden Office is an office under the Sanden Leading Group of the Mentougou District Government. Zhang Baojing was transferred to work in the Mentougou Sanden Office. He was just an ordinary worker at that time.Until 1993, Zhang Baojing was appointed by the district government as the deputy director of the office, in charge of the daily work of the Sanden Office, and his identity changed a lot.

Zhang Baojing used to be an ordinary staff member of Mentougou Power Supply Bureau. However, since he became the deputy director of the Third Electricity Office, in Zhang Baojing's view, he is completely different from his previous status.The Three Electricity Office has a lot of power. One of the most important reasons is that the main person in charge of the Mentougou Three Electricity Leading Group is the leader of the district government. In the past, Zhang Baojing’s immediate boss, the director of the Power Supply Bureau, also served as the deputy director of the Three Electricity Office just like Zhang Baojing. The director and other directors are just names. The Mentougou District Sandian Leading Group mainly controls the policy at a macro level, and is not responsible for specific business. The specific business of Mentougou District Sandi is in charge of by the District Sandi Office.Except for Zhang Baojing, the deputy director of the Three Electricity Office, all other personnel are temporarily seconded, so Zhang Baojing is actually responsible for the business of the Three Electricity Office.In terms of position, although the district government did not appoint Zhang Baojing to the administrative level, Zhang Baojing believed that he should at least enjoy the same level of treatment as the director of the power supply bureau.

More importantly, Zhang Baojing, who became the deputy director of the Three Electricity Office, has almost monopolized the right to use electricity for all units in Mentougou District.All units in Mentougou District need electricity and must purchase electricity rights through the District Three Electricity Office.It is this special power to use electricity that has laid the root of Zhang Baojing's corruption. Another function of the Three Electricity Office is to coordinate the relationship between the government and the local power supply department. However, Zhang Baojing, who thinks that his value has doubled, has not adjusted his position. There is no big difference, and no one takes his "deputy director" seriously, which makes Zhang Baojing very depressed.Because on occasions other than the power supply bureau, the leaders of many power consumption units have always called him "Director Zhang" respectfully, especially in the wine market, Zhang Baojing has always been the bright moon held by the stars.

Zhang Baojing was very depressed. He once tried to put on a posture of being equal to the leader in front of his former leader, but his behavior not only made people feel uncomfortable, but also intensified the conflict between him and the former leader. Even the issue of joining the party has not been resolved. In the 1990s, in order to solve the urgent needs of some users, Beijing introduced a policy of user-funded electricity use, that is, users pay a one-time fee to purchase electricity quotas, which is called purchasing electricity usage rights. Zhang Baojing is responsible for this work.

From January 30, 1991, the Beijing Municipal People's Government issued a document requiring units that need to provide electricity from generator sets invested and constructed by Beijing to obtain electricity consumption quotas through fundraising.Units that apply for new electricity use will raise funds according to the standard of RMB 2,000 per kilowatt.However, starting from April 1, 1993, the standard for raising funds to run electricity was adjusted from RMB 2,000 per kilowatt to RMB 4,000. The news of this price increase was seen by Zhang Baojing as an infinite business opportunity.The sudden increase in power usage rights this time is only something that few people in the industry know about. If you buy them before the power usage rights have not increased and sell them after the price increases, it will double your benefits.In Zhang Baojing's view, the money earned by chance and his own intelligence does not belong to the income of the Mentougou District Power Supply Bureau, nor does it need to be handed over to the District Third Electricity Leadership Group. The only destination is his own pocket.

Therefore, under the operation of Zhang Baojing, before the electricity price increase on April 1, 1993, the Mentougou Sandian Office, in the name of the Mentougou District Economic Commission, applied twice to the Municipal Economic Commission and the Municipal Sandian Office to purchase electricity rights of 3,000 yuan. A total of 6 million yuan for the right to use electricity per kilowatt. Zhang Baojing should understand that the fund-raising fees he collected for power supply construction belong to state-owned property.However, the benefit of 6 million yuan is enough to make him dizzy.With the quota, Zhang Baojing began to sell electricity rights at the Mentougou District Three Electricity Office, and directly collected money from the electricity users for purchasing electricity rights.

In 1993, a cement factory in Mentougou introduced capital from Singapore to establish Xingang Cement Factory.After the plant is put into operation, the electricity fee and the electric oil price increase fee are paid separately.At that time, the factory was in arrears for more than a year due to financial difficulties.After becoming the deputy director of the Three Electricity Office, Zhang Baojing went to the factory to urge him to pay the money. After getting acquainted with the factory leaders, Zhang Baojing gave the Chinese representative of the cement plant a "trick" and said: "You hand over the money for the electricity and oil price increase to the Three Electricity Office. , use this money to buy the right to use electricity, and you have the official right to use electricity, and you will no longer have to pay the arrears of the electricity oil price increase fee and this fee."

Hearing this, the leader of the cement factory realized that this was killing two birds with one stone, and quickly asked his subordinates to calculate the electricity and oil price increase owed to be more than 4.243 million yuan. The account did not write a check payable.After the payment was made, apart from receiving an invoice from Zhang Baojing, the cement factory never approached the factory to pay the owed power oil price increase.The leaders of the cement plant understood that in fact, the more than 4 million yuan was not enough to buy the official electricity rights. Play deaf and dumb. After 1998, the right to use electricity was cancelled, and no one bothered to ask about it.

However, how did they know that Zhang Baojing had already blackmailed them severely.Not only that, Zhang Baojing didn't even let the school go. In 1996, the residential building of Potou Middle School in Mentougou District was completed, and it was necessary to apply for the electricity consumption quota allocated by the state. If it was the electricity consumption quota allocated by the state, there was no need to pay. What the Three Electricity Office approved was the purchase of electricity rights for power supply.The Mentougou District Education Committee paid 240,000 yuan for the purchase of electricity rights for Potou Middle School. Under Zhang Baojing's manipulation, the payee of the check became Beijing Guanghuiyuan Trading Co., Ltd.Afterwards, the Mentougou Education Commission applied for a national allocation of electricity consumption quotas for a certain community, but the approved one was still the right to use electricity, and a check of 208,000 yuan was required, but it was transferred to the post office for some reason. It turned out that Zhang Baojing "borrowed" Beijing Guanghuiyuan Trading Co., Ltd. from a friend, and Zhang Baojing opened the account of the post office privately. In addition to the 3,000-kilowatt power consumption rights purchased by Zhang Baojing from the Municipal Three Electricity Office, he also holds some free power consumption rights in his hands.The Beijing Municipal Office of Electric Power and Electricity has to increase part of the electricity consumption quota for each district and county every year. Because the economy of Mentougou District is relatively backward, the fee for purchasing electricity rights can be reduced or exempted. In this way, Zhang Baojing won part of the quota in the name of poor mountainous areas.These originally free indicators were also sold by Zhang Baojing in the name of electricity rights.The Fengcun Economic Cooperative in Yongding Town, Mentougou District, was originally in line with the city's third office to reduce or exempt the right to use electricity, but Zhang Baojing charged 1.6 million yuan at a "preferential" price of 1,000 yuan per kilowatt. In this way, from December 1996 to January 1998, Zhang Baojing took advantage of his position and adopted the method of "not recording the collected money" to intercept the Mentougou Education Bureau, the Beijing Mentougou Sub-branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and the Beijing Xingang Cement Co., Ltd. seven times. Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and other 7 units purchased electricity rights with a total of more than 6.89 million yuan of public funds.The money was illegally seized by Zhang Baojing and placed in the account of the Longquan Hotel in the name of the Mentougou District Economic Committee. Blind investment, millions of stolen money lost Next we have to mention the famous Beijing Longquan Hotel in Mentougou District.It was precisely because of the case of Liu Lihua, the chairman of Longquan Hotel, that Zhang Baojing's case was involved.Liu Lihua used to be the deputy director of the Mentougou District Economic Committee. In July 2005, Liu Lihua was arrested by the Beijing Mentougou Procuratorate for six crimes including embezzlement, embezzlement of tens of millions of public funds, and destruction of accounting books. When Zhang Baojing was asked to find out about the case, he found clues from Zhang Baojing's previous account of the hotel, which led to Zhang Baojing's embezzlement case that had been hidden for 9 years. We have no way of verifying the relationship between Zhang Baojing and Liu Lihua, but the objective fact is that Zhang Baojing purchased electricity rights at a low price in the name of the Mentougou District Economic Committee, and all the money he "earned" was put in Longquan Hotel on the account.More importantly, the company that Zhang Baojing later managed was also "loaned" to him by Liu Lihua. Liu Lihua later provided testimony to the court to prove that Beijing Guanghuiyuan Trading Co., Ltd. was established by a company with an investment of 500,000 yuan.Liu Lihua heard that Zhang Baojing wanted to set up a personal company, so he "lend" the company to Zhang Baojing for personal use. After Zhang Baojing was embezzled, he knew very well that the more than 6 million yuan in the account of Longquan Hotel would be a time bomb sooner or later. He must try to "wash" the stolen money, so he quickly "borrowed" from Liu Lihua to Guangzhou. Huiyuan Trading Co., Ltd. was in operation. Later, Zhang Baojing mobilized many of his relatives and friends to do business, and opened several companies for operation.What Zhang Baojing didn't expect was that not only did these companies fail to make money, but they lost more than 4 million yuan successively. Since 1996, Zhang Baojing has successively operated 4 companies, first operating coal under the names of Guanghuiyuan Trading Company and Taifengli Trading Company.But the profit of 1 ton of coal is only about 10 yuan.In the process of coal operation, Zhang Baojing did not make any money, but lost a lot of money. At the same time, Zhang Baojing also invested in restaurants and furniture stores, and lost a lot of money. In 1997, Zhang Baojing invested 1.2 million yuan to establish Yuanmengchun Gourmet Co., Ltd. This restaurant is actually run by Zhang Baojing's brother.Zhang Baojing's brother once calculated an account, the restaurant's annual operating turnover is more than 1 million yuan, and the operating cost is also more than 1 million yuan, making no money at all.In addition, Zhang Baojing has many friends, so he doesn't give money for eating and drinking here.Later, because Zhang Baojing urgently borrowed 120,000 yuan from a friend in order to repay his gambling debts, he simply transferred Yuanmengchun Hotel to the creditor for 300,000 yuan.Back and forth, Zhang Baojing lost more than 1 million yuan in the restaurant operation. After the failure of the restaurant, Zhang Baojing invested 1 million yuan in shares and jointly opened Qianbaihui Furniture City.After cooperating for about a year, his partner withdrew and quit, leaving only Zhang Baojing to support independently.Zhang Baojing's partner thought that Zhang Baojing would return her principal after making a profit from his own business, but later heard that Zhang Baojing only had 100,000 yuan left when he withdrew. In this way, Zhang Baojing, who has no business sense at all, not only failed to "wash" the stolen money, but lost 4 million yuan in business, which of course was beyond his expectation. In cross-border gambling, all you lose are greedy money Zhang Baojing lost a total of more than 4 million yuan for the money he used for business, which can be said to be "repeatedly defeated".So, where did the remaining 2 million yuan go?In court, Zhang Baojing was embarrassed to mention the gambling loss, and only talked about his "business" of doing business, and then kept silent. The presiding judge asked Zhang Baojing again: "What about the rest of the money, have you ever gambled?" Zhang Baojing murmured, "We lost more than 2 million yuan in gambling." But Zhang Baojing immediately defended and said: "You say that I squandered the money or wasted it. I didn't know that I had so much money. I never had hundreds of thousands of money. In fact, I usually don't see it in my pocket." A few dollars, so poor, I don’t know how to get rid of the money.” It is understood that since Zhang Baojing became the deputy director of the Third Electricity Office, he often has a group of social idlers around him.Eat his, drink his, and take his, and spend a lot of money on it.Zhang Baojing mixed with these "buddies". In addition to eating and drinking, more importantly, Zhang Baojing used to be a frequent visitor to many underground casinos in Beijing, and he often took a group of people to gamble. In 1998, Zhang Baojing took a group of gamblers to gamble on the famous "Oriental Princess" cruise ship in Hong Kong. He wanted to get rid of his addiction to the "God of Gamblers", but lost more than 600,000 yuan. In 2000, he went to the Lisboa Casino in Macau with his gamblers three times to gamble and lost more than 800,000 yuan. But Zhang Baojing was not reconciled, because the country was not enough, so he took a group of people to gamble abroad. In 2001, Zhang Baojing took a group of brothers to Vietnam to gamble several times, and lost more than 600,000 yuan.Since then, the Philippines, Singapore, Myanmar and many other countries have become places for them to gamble.But whether it is at home or abroad, every time Zhang Baojing goes to gamble, he loses everything. The nickname "Zhang Shuguang" began to circulate from then on. According to the analysis of criminal law experts, most of the current officials who have fallen from office are because they mixed with social scoundrels and idlers, and forgot their identities, which led to their degeneration. When Zhang Baojing’s Dongchuang incident was revealed, his family members sold the property and handed over 210,000 yuan in an attempt to mitigate his crimes. This was a drop in the bucket for Zhang Baojing’s embezzlement of 6.89 million yuan, but Zhang Baojing’s relatives only had this ability. A little compensation is a little bit. Zhang Baojing insisted in court that he originally wanted to return the embezzled money to the country, but because he lost money in business and wanted to make money from gambling, he lost all of it. Nine years have passed since the incident happened. Zhang Baojing Lost and squandered all the 6.89 million yuan in compensation. After a careful trial, the court believed that Zhang Baojing, as a national employee, took advantage of his position to illegally embezzle and occupy public property. His behavior constituted a crime of corruption, and the circumstances were particularly serious, so he should be punished according to law.The first branch of the Beijing Municipal People's Procuratorate accused Zhang Baojing of corruption. The facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive and sufficient, and the conviction is accurate.Zhang Baojing committed a huge amount of crimes and the circumstances were particularly serious. He should have been sentenced to death immediately. In view of the fact that after he was brought to justice, he had truthfully confessed some facts about his corruption crime, was able to plead guilty, and his family members refunded RMB 210,000 on his behalf. He can be sentenced according to law. The death penalty is not carried out immediately. On the afternoon of August 4, 2006, Zhang Baojing was sentenced to death by the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court in the first instance for corruption, with a two-year reprieve, deprived of political rights for life, and confiscated all personal property. Power monopolized, petty officials are greedy and lack of supervision Zhang Baojing embezzled a huge sum of 6.89 million yuan to gamble in many countries and regions for 9 years. No one in the higher authorities knew about it. Although it was a bit unbelievable, it happened like this. If Liu Lihua's case was not involved, Zhang Baojing's corruption case might be No one will ever know. Zhang Baojing's lawyer pointed out to the court that the mechanism of the "Three Electricity Office" is not sound and lacks supervision, which is a breeding ground for his corruption.Nominally, the Mentougou District "Three Electricity Office" is under the leadership of the Mentougou District "Three Electricity Leading Group", the District Power Supply Bureau, the city's "Three Electricity Leading Group" and the Municipal Power Supply Bureau, but in reality only Zhang Baojing is in charge.It is not surprising that one person has all the power and can do whatever he wants. It is not surprising that he has embezzled nearly 6.89 million in nine years. In Zhang Baojing's view, the reason why he has embezzled huge sums of money and has not been discovered for 9 years is very simple.He said: "The City Three Electricity Office only assesses the overall electricity consumption indicators in Mentougou District. When I approve the electricity consumption for users, as long as it does not exceed the overall electricity consumption indicators in the district, I will not go to the city to ask for electricity consumption indicators. The City Three Electricity Office It doesn’t matter. The District Sandian Leading Group only leads from a macro perspective, regardless of the specific business. The specific business is in charge of the District Sanden Office. When I was the deputy director, the specific business of the District Sanden Office was actually my own. Forget it, everyone else is temporarily seconded from other units, and I am the only one who belongs to the power supply bureau, and the salary is also paid by the power supply bureau. Besides, I am not familiar with the business of Sanden at all, and the power supply bureau is familiar with the business of Sanden Don’t ask, when I was working in the Sandian Office, no one ever checked the financial accounts, and I was able to embezzle so much money, mainly because of loopholes in the system.” Although there is a lack of supervision, no one noticed that 6.89 million huge sums of money were "evaporated"?Zhang Baojing said: "No. Under normal circumstances, the money purchased by various units should be handed over to the Municipal Office of Three Electricity Services. The money was directly withheld to do business. I had a few invoices from the Three Electricity Offices in this district. After I issued the invoices to the users, I destroyed the bottom sheets. After handing over the check, I told them not to fill in the payee, so as not to make a mistake and not receive the money. After that, I will fill in the name of my company, so that I can directly use the money. However, every time I give the electricity unit Invoicing, and electricity consumption quotas are also given, so they won't find out that the money was taken by me personally." From the Zhang Baojing corruption case, we have seen a worrying phenomenon: in government agencies, there are still some departments with unscientific organization, lack of supervision, and miscellaneous personnel.These institutions do not operate in accordance with the principles of science, efficiency, and law, but perform their so-called functions arbitrarily, inefficiently, and repeatedly, providing corrupt conditions for corrupt officials and mediocre people.Today, after many years of institutional reform, there are still such blind spots in government departments, which should really make the relevant leading departments feel ashamed. The reason why all kinds of corrupt officials are unscrupulously greedy and greedy is very clear and clear, and that is the loss of control of power.Although various systems, regulations, and even laws have been formulated, how effective have they been so far?Our Party Central Committee is so determined to fight corruption, but we have to ask: How much has been implemented down to the bottom?Is there really effective supervision of the top leaders?In the administrative structure of the government, many people may not know whether there is such an establishment as the "Sandian Office".But one thing is very clear, that is, in an organization under the leadership of four departments, in fact, only one person has the final say. This is definitely not normal! To establish and implement the scientific outlook on development, build a people-oriented harmonious society, and promote comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable economic and social development, the reform of government administrative agencies is an important part.In the past, in order to engage in formalism, some places established many temporary institutions and arranged a group of idle officials with nothing to do. Practice has proved that it is a waste of money and people.Later, in order to show the importance attached to a certain task, some local governments set up a number of offices outside of the functional departments, which also violated the spirit of streamlining the organization and seeking truth and pragmatism.In the context of reform, we should really check those useless temporary agencies and duplicate agencies, check those unsupervised and surprisingly powerful "Three Electricity Offices", check it out Those idle officials who spend a lot of taxpayers' money without doing business. To build a conservation-minded society, government agencies must lead by example.Government officials should set an example in the fight against corruption.If Zhang Baojing's corruption case can attract widespread attention, and then conduct a thorough clean-up of government agencies, then this case will have positive significance.
