One night in September 2017, the villagers of Mujiapo Village, Liulin County, Shanxi Province, had fallen asleep when suddenly there was a bang on the door of each house, and people outside were shouting as they knocked"Open the door! Open the door! ”
The villagers opened the door sleepily, and before they could open their mouths to ask what was going on, a few able-bodied people outside rushed into the courtyard without saying a word, pulled everyone up and walked towards the entrance of the village.
That night, more than 300 able-bodied people came to the village and forcibly brought all the more than 100 people from more than 50 households in the village to the entrance of the village.
The next scene shocked and shattered all the villagers, and more than a dozen bulldozers drove into the village, tearing down all the houses in just over two hours, and the villagers became homeless overnight.
What makes many people feel even more unbelievable is that the mastermind behind this sudden incident turned out to be Chen Hongzhi, president of Shanxi Lingzhi Energy Investment Group Co., Ltd., a big charity entrepreneur in Liulin County.
He used to fund the construction of bridges, schools, and poor children in the local area, but he did not expect that he would send thugs to forcibly demolish the entire village of houses when it was dark.
Some homeless people have written reports to **, thusIt unveiled the curtain of a new round of anti-crime and evil work in Liulin County, and also unveiled the true face of Chen Hongzhi, a great philanthropist in the eyes of the people......
He was born in a peasant family in the countryside of Liulin County, and joined the armed police force in the army in his early years because of his poor studies.
After retiring from the army in 1998, Chen Hongzhi did not find his own career development direction for the time being, so he first went to work as a security guard in a high-end hotel in the county.
Chen Hongzhi is outgoing and talkative, and likes to chat with some guests in the hotel after work, so he has learned a lot about corporate investment and development.
By chance, when chatting with a big boss from other places, the other party mentioned that he wanted to invest in a local stone factory, but he did not find a suitable investment object.
This matter was remembered by Chen Hongzhi, who was unwilling to be mediocre, and after some consideration, he told the other party that he wanted to do a stone factory, as long as the other party was willing to be an investor.
The other party saw that Chen Hongzhi was capable and smart, so he decided to invest his money in Chen Hongzhi.
Soon after, under the management of Chen Hongzhi, a stone factory called "Xinghuo" was listed for business in Liulin County.
With his ingenuity, Chen Hongzhi made a lot of money from stone excavation and processing in just over a year, and expanded the stone factory into a building materials company, becoming a small local enterprise.
At this time, Chen Hongzhi basically complied with industry norms in the process of doing business, competed fairly with other enterprises in a legal and ethical way, and earned wealth with his own strength.
He really began to embark on the road of no return to crime after he later got involved in the coal industry.
In 2003, when the coal mining industry in Shanxi began to develop rapidly, Chen Hongzhi saw the opportunity to come up with funds to start the coal mining business.
To this end, he also set up a company, named "Liulin Liaoyuan Commerce", whose name just echoes with the previously established "Spark Building Materials Company", forming the meaning of "Spark of the Spark, can burn the plain".
However, if you look at Chen Hongzhi's next life experience with these eight words, he did release a spark, and he did set fire to the prairie in Liulin County, but at the same time, he also burned himself.
As a veteran, Chen Hongzhi dares to think and dare to do, and is not afraid to take risks, for him, the greater the opportunity, the greater the risk.
Therefore, he invested almost all of his assets in the coal mining industry, and within a year of starting the company, he contracted five coal mines.
Then, in the following year in 2004, the five coal mines contracted by Chen Hongzhi continued to produce raw coal, which brought huge benefits to Chen Hongzhi.
In 2005, Chen Hongzhi integrated all the coal mining businesses under his name and established the "Shanxi Lingzhi Energy Investment Group Company".
After the company became bigger and stronger, Chen Hongzhi was no longer satisfied with not only owning his own coal mine, but also began to do other businesses such as coal washing plants.
In 2009, the first Shanxi coal enterprises made a standardized adjustment, Chen Hongzhi's company after the adjustment, has 4 coal mines, 4 coal washing plants, a five-star hotel and a commercial building, in Liulin County to build its own "business empire".
In addition to these purely commercial industries, Chen Hongzhi also ventured into agriculture, education and publishing to add credibility to his business, establishing a printing shop, an ecological agricultural park and a junior high school, which later developed into a model junior high school in the province.
Chen Hongzhi, who has deep pockets, has already further expanded his ambitions, and he has been setting his sights on all the other coal mines in Liulin County, wanting to annex them one by one, just like the big vassal states always wanted to annex small countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Driven by ambition, Chen Hongzhi frantically walked on his road of merger, but the owner of every coal mine wanted to keep his own coal mine and make good money, and no one was willing to sell the mine to Chen Hongzhi at a low price, and Chen Hongzhi's road to merger was not smooth at first.
Chen Hongzhi racked his brains to get the surrounding coal mines, and violent means became the simplest and most direct method he could think of.
In 2007, Chen Hongzhi fell in love with a local coal mine, and the owner of the mine, Xue Wuhan, coveted the raw coal that he transported from the mine every day, so he wanted to take it for himself.
First of all, Chen Hongzhi directly approached Xue Wuhan and expressed his hope to buy the coal mine, but the price offered was far lower than the actual value of the coal mine.
Xue Wuhan opened a mine well, so he naturally refused to sell the mine like this, so Chen Hongzhi sent thugs to Xue Wuhan's house to harass him in various ways, smashing glass, intimidating, and besieging his family, and doing everything he could.
But Xue Wuhan still refused to give in, and Chen Hongzhi slapped the table angrily:"Since he doesn't get in so much oil and salt, let's come hard. ”
Chen Hongzhi immediately hired several excavators to cut the mine's only dirt road to the outside world, so as to prevent the mine from continuing to transport coal to the outside world.
Xue Wuhan also asked the coal drivers to try to drive the car out from other places in the surrounding area, and Chen Hongzhi gave an order to all the excavator drivers to directly dig up all the places around the coal mine that could pass by cars.
One day in late 2007, Xue Wuhan, the owner of the Mataze Coal Mine, was returning home from the mine with his secretary and driver, and Chen Hongzhi sent a dozen thugs to intercept him.
The thugs first drove Xue Wuhan's car to stop, and then more than a dozen people surrounded the car, forcibly dragged three people out of the car, and surrounded them without saying a word, punching and kicking them.
Xue Wuhan and his secretary were seriously injured, while the driver Gao Sanping was beaten to death, and after the death, the first reaction of the thugs was not to be frightened and flee, but to carry the driver's body and arrogantly threw the body directly into a pit more than 30 meters deep.
Later, under duress, Xue Wuhan had no choice but to compromise and sell the coal mine to Chen Hongzhi.
The reason why the thugs are so arrogant and domineering is entirely because Chen Hongzhi has Chen Hongzhi behind them to support them, and the reason why these thugs can risk committing crimes and going to prison or even being sentenced to death, so desperately working for Chen Hongzhi is because Chen Hongzhi is willing to throw money at these security guards.
These thugs under Chen Hongzhi are not simply engaged in some illegal activities, their legitimate identities are members of the security team of Chen Hongzhi's company.
At first, the security team was only responsible for protecting the company's security, but as Chen Hongzhi's ambitions gradually expanded, he began to use the security guards to do some violent things, mainly against mine owners who were unwilling to ** the coal mine, or Chen Hongzhi's competitors.
In order to make these security guards willing to work for themselves, Chen Hongzhi paid the security guards a salary that was much higher than the market price at that time.
The monthly salary of ordinary security guards was 3,500 yuan, while the salary of security guards in other companies at that time was about 2,000 yuan at most.
In addition to the high salary, if a security guard is injured or imprisoned while acting as a thug for Chen Hongzhi, he will also receive additional subsidies, which are determined by Chen Hongzhi according to the situation.
Once a thug was sentenced to prison for standing up for the company, Chen Hongzhi not only bought him a house of more than 200 square meters, but also gave his family 5,000 yuan a month.
However, going out to intimidate and assault people is a high-risk affair that can range from retaliation or retaliation to detention or jail time.
If it is just to give enough benefits, many people may not really contribute, Chen Hongzhi knows this very well in his heart, so he is a combination of grace and power to these thugs under him.
In addition to giving high wages and subsidies, Chen Hongzhi also took out some of the reward and punishment methods he learned in the army and took them to the extreme, and formulated a set of strict systems.
Under Chen Hongzhi's regulations, the security team must assemble every day like an army going out for morning exercises, and then conduct queue training, so as to hone everyone's executive ability.
Orders or tasks issued by cadres must be carried out unconditionally and quickly, otherwise they will be subject to corporal punishment, ranging from hundreds of push-ups to punitive beatings by other team members.
Under Chen Hongzhi's various means, hundreds of security guards under his command all obeyed his words and beat him.
In just a few years, Chen Hongzhi occupied all the coal mines in the north of Liulin County, and "shared the world" with Xing Libin, another entrepreneur in the south, and became a local "soil emperor".
One night in September 2017, while villagers in Mujiapo Village in Liulin County were asleep, more than 300 people dressed in black suddenly broke into the village, forcibly drove many villagers to the entrance of the village, and surrounded them.
These were the thugs sent by Chen Hongzhi, and after they controlled the villagers, they drove an excavator to tear down all the houses in the village.
The reason is only that Mujiapo Village is surrounded by a mine contracted by Chen Hongzhi, because over-exploitation has caused the entire area to have an unstable foundation, and it can no longer be mined according to regulations.
In order to cover up the situation and facilitate the urgent continuation of mining, Chen Hongzhi directly forcibly razed the village to the ground, leaving hundreds of people in the village homeless overnight.
Chen Hongzhi cleared many obstacles on the way to wealth through the violence of the security team, and over time he became more and more disregarding the safety of other people's lives and property.
In 2018, Jing Jike, an employee of the coal washing plant, was smashed on the head and fell into a coma during construction and fell into the coal pile, Chen Hongzhi directly ordered someone to throw Jing Jike on the coal car and pulled him to Xuzhou, Jiangsu, and the dying Jing Jike died in the coal pile, and the body was found by Xuzhou**, and the family of the deceased was notified.
The family members went to the door of Lingzhi Group to pull out banners and claim compensation, which attracted widespread attention from the society and became the fuse that indirectly led to Chen Hongzhi's investigation and punishment.
But no matter how much money you have, no matter how rich you are, as long as you do something bad that hurts the people, you will eventually be unable to contain the fire in the paper, and the evil deeds will be exposed one by one.
With the expansion of his own business, Chen Hongzhi thought that he had become the local overlord of Liulin County, and he had no fear, and his style of acting became more and more arrogant, which caused more people to hate him.
Since 2018, the local ** has received more and more reports against Chen Hongzhi, and some people have accused Chen Hongzhi of sending thugs to fight local villagers in order to acquire the mine, and even caused *** cases.
Some people reported that Chen Hongzhi used money to bribe the cadres of the villages where the mines are located, so as to make his business easier.
Coupled with various other reports, it made ** realize that Chen Hongzhi and his company have caused a very extensive and bad impact in the local area, and its severity has risen to the level of an underworld gang.
On July 21, 2018, ** sent hundreds of police forces to quickly attack, and at the same time surrounded several of Chen Hongzhi's enterprises and residences, and arrested a number of people involved in crime and evil, including Chen Hongzhi, and then immediately launched an investigation into the assets under his name, and found that Chen Hongzhi has accumulated a total of 7.8 billion property through illegal means over the years, and he has a total of 341 properties across the country, which is shocking.
On November 5, 2019, it was the day for the people of Liulin County to celebrate with a crown, on this day, the court sentenced Chen Hongzhi to death with a two-year reprieve for the crimes of illegal detention, intentional injury, and organizing a first-class organization.
Even if he did some charity to paint his face with grease and whitewash, he could not destroy his various evil deeds, and the legal net was restored, and Chen Hongzhi, the evil leader, was not missed after all.
