Yu Zuomin, the emperor became a prisoner, an unimaginable road to reform
I have made some achievements on the road of reform, but I have made mistakes on the road of law. "Yu Zuomin, who used to be the emperor of Daegu Village, is now behind bars, often staring at the sky outside the window, full of emotion.
On April 15, 1993, he received a telegram from Gao Dezhan, secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee, inviting him to attend the meeting. Although he was very reluctant to participate in his heart, he still took his bodyguards and cronies and got into the car.
He hopes to be able to give himself some courage and confidence.
However, it didn't work. When the Mercedes-Benz 600 arrived at the meeting place, everyone was just about to get out of the car, but they were stopped by the security guard: "Only Yu Zuomin can go in alone." ”
Yu Zuomin was not greeted by the secretary of the municipal party committee, but by the public security police, and Yu Zuomin was arrested in accordance with the law. Yu Zuomin was sentenced to 20 years in prison for harboring and obstructing justice.
Recalling the scene of participating in the Spring Festival Gala as one of the "Top Ten Farmer Entrepreneurs in the Country", Yu Zuo was sensitive and confused: why did he come to this point?
Yu Zuomin, the hero of Daegu Village. If it weren't for him, maybe this place would still be the same now: as far as the eye can see, endless saline-alkali land; living on bran vegetables, one meal can be eaten for half a year; The girls in the village would rather die than stay, and the girls from other villages did not want to marry in; The 250 bachelors in the village had nowhere to live, and the whole village was in ruins.
Yu Zuomin had a few years of school age, and for this impoverished village, he can be regarded as a highly educated talent. He had a brilliant mind, and if it weren't for his father's early death, he would have been able to make a splash in his studies.
It's a pity that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, so he can only drop out of school and take on the burden of the family with his mother. Yu Zuomin's mind was flexible, and he persuaded his mother to take out the rest of the family's money, buy a mule, and start transporting goods from south to north.
Yu Zuomin is a very smart person, and his way of thinking is somewhat similar to that of today's logistics industry, except that he is smaller. At that time, there were not many people in this business, and Yu Zuomin liked to use his brains, he could not only deliver the goods to the destination safely, but also help other merchants transport them when the car was empty, which was what he called "doing a trip to earn two money".
This experience opened his eyes and increased his knowledge, which laid the foundation for him to become the leader of Daegu Village in the future. The villagers recognized his talent and unanimously elected him to be the leader of the eleventh production team.
At that time, the 11th team was the poorest team in Daegu Village, and the team members worked hard for a year, but they could not get much food, and hunger was a common thing. After Yu Zuomin took office, he began to think of a way, since the grain produced in the saline-alkali land was not enough to eat, he would use other ways to make money to buy food.
After careful observation, he found that there were disabled donkeys in the market because they could not work, and they were very cheap. This inspired him to have a bold idea: buy a female donkey, produce a baby donkey and ** for a profit.
He decided to take immediate action and purchased a few female donkeys with the only funds available from the production team. When he waited for the baby donkey to be born and raised, he found that a donkey could earn more than 2,000 yuan, which made the team members look at him with admiration.
Daegu Village is rich in reed resources, according to the previous regulations, each person needs to cut 160 catties of reeds, and divide them with the brigade according to four or six. As a result, there were very few reeds left in everyone's hands, and everyone was dissatisfied with this hard and tiring work, and there was little enthusiasm except for complaining.
In order to solve this problem, Yu Zuomin decided to change the old system. In addition to the 160 catties of reeds handed over to the village, all the excess belongs to himself. As soon as the news came out, everyone responded positively, not only the work efficiency was greatly improved, but also the enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.
In addition, he taught everyone how to weave reeds into mats for sale, which in turn increased their income**.
With his flexible mind and accumulated prestige, Woo Chok-min became the secretary of Daegu Village. He firmly believed that the rolling mill was the key to leading the villagers to make a fortune, and made a vow at the villagers' meeting to change the face of Daegu Village in three years.
In order to raise funds to set up a factory, Yu Zuomin actively mobilized everyone to raise money to buy shares, and the accounts were full of change, although it was less than 20,000, but it was just a drop in the bucket for the purchase of equipment.
Through personal connections and bank loans, Yu Zuomin finally raised 150,000 yuan to buy 3 old equipment. He led the group to build a simple factory building tile by earth, determined to fulfill his vow.
His efforts and determination have been recognized and supported by everyone, and everyone has expressed their willingness to work with him, believing that he can lead everyone to a better future.
Everything is ready, only one person who understands technology, Yu Zuomin urgently needs a talent with expertise in technology. He found Liu Wanming, deputy chief of the equipment department of Tianjin No. 1 Smelter, who was not only proficient in smelting technology, but also had ready-made sales relationships and channels.
Yu Zuomin succeeded in convincing Liu Wanming to return to the village and become the director of the rolling mill, and appointed Liu Wanming's younger brother Liu Wanquan as a salesman. Yu Zuomin emphasized: "Now that our rolling mill has begun to operate, everyone must follow the guidance of Director Liu, whose technology determines our development.
I promise you will be treated better in the future. ”
After just two months of trial work, all the products of the rolling mill reached the qualified standards, and at the end of the year, all the investment was realized, and a profit of more than 300,000 yuan was realized.
I have to admit that Yu Zuomin's vision is really unique, and he coincides with a good time for reform. Under his leadership, high-frequency pipe factories, printing factories and electrical appliance factories in Daegu were put online.
The development of Daegu Village is in full swing. Since then, Daegu Village has successively established four industrial groups: Wanquan, Jinmei, Shunmei, and Yaoshun. In April 1987, Daegu Village became the earliest 100 million yuan village in China, and it became famous for a while.
Daegu, a small village in China, once attracted the attention of countless people. The New York Times reported that the village, with only 4,400 people, has 16 Mercedes and more than 100 cars.
In 1990, Daegu's per capita income reached more than 20,000 yuan, 10 times higher than the national average. The thatched houses here have been converted into small cottages, and the village pays for the children's schooling from primary school to university, and water, electricity, medical care, transportation, pension and other services are all free of charge.
As a result, Daegu Village became a wealthy village, and Yu Zuomin was praised as one of the top ten outstanding farmer entrepreneurs in the country, and participated in the Spring Festival Gala in 1989.
However, in the face of money and power, Woo Zuomin's mind began to swell, and his opening statement was full of self-aggrandizement: "I am a peasant, in Daegu Village, remove the soil, I am the emperor." ”
His white villa has become a landmark in the village, with luxurious facilities and everything you need.
You dragged Liu Yutian out into the street and spat on him. ”
At Liu Jintian's home, Yu Zuoxiang was instructed by Yu Zuomin to break in with six young men, facing everyone, and asked while beating: "Did your son do something bad, should you beat him?" ”
Poor Liu Jintian could only beg for mercy again and again, but to no avail, and was finally humiliated and beaten to death on the street. Seeing Liu Jintian dead, Yu Zuoxiang panicked, and he found Yu Zuomin and asked if there was a way to save him.
Yu Zuomin thought about it for a while and told him to take the blame first, and he would find a way to save him. Yu Zuomin instigated the villagers to hold a march under the banner "Liu Yutian is innocent of his death, Yu Zuoxiang is the one who will eliminate harm for the people", and put pressure on Liu Yutian's wife to admit that Liu Yutian died of illness.
When Liu Yutian's daughter tried to write a letter to ask for help from the county procuratorate, she was also called by Yu Zuomin to admonish: "It's up to you, you still want to sue me, dream about you." Unable to endure Yu Zuomin's oppression, Liu's family was forced to flee from Daegu Village and survive in other places.
Despite Yu Zuomin's various obstructions, the public security organs finally quickly found out the ins and outs of the case and arrested Yu Zuoxiang and 6 ** people. Yu Zuoxiang was sentenced to death, and the other six were sentenced to 9-15 years in prison.
Yu Zuomin was also called by the leader to talk, hoping that he would realize his mistake. However, Yu Zuomin felt: "They don't dare to do anything to me, Daegu Village can't do without me, without me, Daegu Village will collapse." ”
After Li Fengzheng, general manager of Daegu Zhuang Huada Group, died of illness, tens of millions of funds in the account suddenly disappeared, which made Yu Zuomin thunderous. He vowed to find out who had embezzled the funds.
In order to find the ** person, he instructed his subordinates to interrogate a group of people, but these people did not provide any useful information. In the end, Wei Fuhe, a 26-year-old foreigner in charge of infrastructure, became a key target of suspicion.
During the seven-hour interrogation, Wei Fuhe always insisted that he did not know. This made the thugs even more crazy, and they left more than 380 wounds on Wei Fuhe's body, but still didn't get the answers they wanted.
He died shortly after being taken to the hospital. Seeing someone *** Yu Zuomin did not panic, but slowly called the Municipal Public Security Bureau and asked them to come and see the situation.
Although he was eventually brought to justice, this history remains thought-provoking.
1.When the public security officers appeared at the scene of Daegu Village to investigate, Yu Zuomin thought that they were doing something extraordinary, and said disdainfully: "Dead person, what is there to investigate?" ”
In order to cover up the facts, he instructed the strong young men to put the police under house arrest without water and food, and it was not until noon the next day, with the intervention of Mayor Nie Bichu, that the police were able to lift the ban.
What is ironic is that when the public security officers presented evidence and prepared to arrest and interrogate the four suspects of Wei Fuhe, Yu Zuomin actually instigated the villagers to block the road, and claimed: "The villagers don't understand the law, and I don't care if something goes wrong." ”
Seeing that Yu Zuomin refused to cooperate, the Tianjin Public Security Bureau asked the higher-level leaders to send 400 police officers to stand by and take action as long as the time was ripe. 2.When the public security officers arrived at the scene of Daegu Village to investigate, Yu Zuomin actually thought that their methods were too cumbersome, and said lightly: "Dead people, what are you investigating?" ”
In order to prevent the matter from being revealed, he instructed the strong young men to detain the police and deprive them of water and food, until noon the next day, when the mayor Nie Bichu intervened, and the police officers were released.
What's even more laughable is that when the public security police came up with evidence and planned to arrest and interrogate the four suspects in Wei Fuhe, Yu Zuomin actually instigated the villagers to block the road, and claimed: "The villagers don't understand the law, and I am not responsible for the problem." ”
Seeing that Yu Zuomin did not cooperate, the Tianjin Public Security Bureau asked the higher-level leaders to send 400 police officers to stand by and carry out the action as long as the time was ripe.
Yu Zuomin instigated villagers to confront the police, causing chaos in Daegu Village, and the police officers who arrested the suspects were forced to evacuate. The Tianjin Municipal Party Committee sent a working group to Daegu Village, and Yu Zuomin's harboring of criminals and perjury were confirmed.
In the end, Yu Zuomin was arrested in accordance with the law under the notice of the secretary of the municipal party committee and signed the arrest warrant.
Woo Zuomin began to reflect in the detention center, realizing his mistake and feeling deeply guilty about his party organization and the village elders of Daegu Village. However, it was all too late.
His health deteriorated in prison, and he even developed symptoms such as blood in the urine. Eventually, he was granted medical parole and spent the rest of his life at Tianjin Tianhe Hospital. There are two theories about the cause of Woo Zuomin's death, but for him, what matters is the end of his era.
His two sons left Daegu and started their own business careers, but without the protection of Woo Zuomin. At the same time, Daegu Village has also started a new development after experiencing the Asian financial crisis.
Yu Zuomin is a hero of Daegu Village and a sinner of Daegu Village. He led Daegu to prosperity, but he also made Daegu his private kingdom, above the law, and eventually died, which is really sad.
