In the end, Liu Jinbao, who "purchased a beauty with a thousand pieces of gold", accepted a huge amount of embezzled assets for Lin Ling, causing the country to lose at least 545 million yuan, and also put himself on the execution ground!

"Oh my God, your secretary-general looks so much like our classmate, doesn't he?"

"Does that need to be said? That Chen Chen disgraced me back then, she didn't expect that I would be so prosperous today, right?"

1994 One day in December, Liu Jinbao, the president of Bank of China Shanghai Branch, was invited to attend a class reunion. He specially called his female secretary Lin Ling to attend. At the

party, Liu Jinbao and a group of his classmates had the above conversation. The class beauty in the topic, Chen Chen, was Liu Jinbao’s first love.

And the person they said looked similar to Chen Chen was Liu Jinbao’s young secretary and Liu Jinbao’s tacit lover, Lin Ling.

After dinner, Liu Jinbao, who was still not satisfied with the topic of "class beauty", asked Lin Ling: Do you want to have plastic surgery? Like my first love? To satisfy my vanity?

It was this joke that started Liu Jinbao's depraved life, and Lin Ling, who was good at figuring out the "financier's mind", even catered to this suggestion with a smile.

In the end, Liu Jinbao, who "bought a beauty with a thousand pieces of gold", accepted huge amounts of embezzled assets for Lin Ling, causing the country to lose at least 545 million yuan, and also put himself on the execution ground!

So, how did this "love-trapped" financial tycoon rise to a high position, and what was the specific reason for his first love?

Liu Jinbao

Regarding these questions, let us start with the first love affair of the "big man" Liu Jinbao.

First Love Complex

In 1993, Liu Jinbao, one of the "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in China", was promoted to Acting President of Bank of China Shanghai Branch. After being promoted to Acting President, he also became a man of the hour in Shanghai, attracting many government officials and financial officials. Executives fawn and flatter.

At the welcome meeting, Liu Jinbao stood on the podium and was about to make an impassioned speech when his eyes suddenly fell on a young woman.

Although the applause from the audience continued, he could only see the young woman's face. He murmured: "It looks like it, it looks so similar. I finally see 'her' again."

Liu Jinbao

Secretary After looking at it, he quickly signaled, and then Liu Jinbao's thoughts were brought back to reality.

He coughed a few times in embarrassment and delivered his inaugural speech absent-mindedly, but during this period he always kept his eyes locked on this young woman.

After the meeting, Liu Jinbao hurriedly asked his secretary for news about the young woman. Only then did he find out that her name was Lin Ling, a publicity officer who was already married and had two children. Her husband was also the backbone of the Shanghai branch. personnel.

As a prosperous financial tycoon in Shanghai, why would Liu Jinbao be so interested in a married publicity officer?

Actually, this involves mentioning his first love, Chen Chen.

image of the goddess of first love

According to a classmate of Liu Jinbao, in 1970, 18-year-old Liu Jinbao entered high school. He had excellent academic performance, but was very introverted and did not usually communicate with others.

However, when he saw the class beauty Chen Chen for the first time, he was attracted by her pure, pleasant and lively personality. In order to "encounter" Chen Chen by chance, Liu Jinbao created many coincidences, but he was never attracted by her. Look at it differently.

After all, at that time, Chen Chen was bright, white-toothed, and pretty, with countless boys chasing after her. However, Liu Jinbao did not have outstanding looks, did not understand humor, and his family was also very poor, so it was naturally difficult for him to gain the "eye of the goddess".

html The age of 218 is the age when love begins. Although Liu Jinbao looks like a rough guy, since he met Chen Chen, the figure of the other party has always been lingering in his mind. Her charming smile and her charming charm all make Liu Jinbao night. Can't sleep.

Time flies by, and he is about to graduate from high school. If he doesn't express his love, he may never meet the goddess again. Liu Jinbao thought about it again and again, and decided to express his love to Chen Chen.

During a break between classes, Liu Jinbao handed the love letter that he had read countless times to Chen Chen in front of the whole class.

He expected Chen Chen to give him a satisfactory answer, but he didn't expect that when Chen Chen learned that it was a love letter, he became so angry that he tore up the love letter in public and sneered: "Don't you take a pee and take a picture of yourself?" "How can you be qualified to pursue me? Do you want to eat swan meat?"

Chen Chen's words caused ridicule from the whole class. Liu Jinbao's face immediately turned red, and he could only hide in the bathroom to comfort himself.

Chen Chen's rejection and the ridicule of his classmates severely damaged Liu Jinbao's self-esteem and made him even more inferior and sensitive.

He secretly vowed to look different and make Chen Chen regret his actions that day.

Liu Jinbao

Second career is rising

Liu Jinbao’s family background is not good. He was born in an ordinary worker’s family in Shanghai in 1952. There are 8 brothers and sisters in the family, and a family of 10 people live in a small room of 18 square meters. How crowded.

Because the house has been in disrepair for a long time, the whole house leaks when it rains, and it is extremely cold in winter. It was in this family environment that Liu Jinbao spent a difficult childhood, and his character became taciturn, introverted and inferior.

As the saying goes, children of poor people become rich early. Liu Jinbao knew that the only way to change his destiny was to study, so he studied hard and his grades never fell out of the top three in the class.

Although Liu Jinbao was rejected by his first love goddess Chen Chen, Liu Jinbao soon adjusted his mentality and studied harder. After graduating from high school, he was recommended to the Beijing Institute of Foreign Trade and became an enviable college student.

During his school days, Liu Jinbao still did not forget Chen Chen. He could not let go of those complicated emotions, which also inspired him to go to a higher level, concentrate on his studies, reject any temptation, and graduate with honors.

In August 1976, Liu Jinbao was assigned to work at the head office of the Bank of China. This was an enviable "golden rice bowl", but he was not satisfied and was always looking for opportunities for promotion.

Once, he heard that his company wanted to select a group of outstanding employees to work at the Bank of China branch in London. The selection conditions were that in addition to good English and excellent professional achievements, they must also be married employees.

Liu Jinbao had a premonition that working in London would be a springboard for his career, and he was very eager to seize this opportunity.

But he was still single at the time and had no girlfriend. In order to be dispatched to London, he bought a ticket overnight to return to his hometown in Shanghai.

Because he had a successful career and returned to his hometown in fine clothes, when he proposed marriage to a neighbor girl, his prospective father-in-law agreed. In less than a month, Liu Jinbao married the girl back home in a high-profile manner and got a job permit in London. Chance.

In December 1977, Liu Jinbao came to the London branch to work. He was also the youngest foreign exchange trader in China at the time.

html Twenty-four years later, he was transferred back to China and arranged to work at the Shanghai Branch of the Bank of China. He first served as a translator at the Foreign Affairs Reception Office, and then was transferred to the Economic Research Institute.

But what changed Liu Jinbao’s fate is the experience in 1983. This year, US President Reagan was assassinated. Most people in the financial industry believed that the US dollar would fall sharply due to this impact, and they all sold off their gold.

But after some calm analysis, Liu Jinbao believed that gold would continue to rise sharply, so he purchased gold in large quantities at a price of US$780 per ounce.

Just a few minutes after he bought it, the usually stable gold price began to climb to US$800 per ounce. Liu Jinbao saw the opportunity and immediately sold all the gold he bought.

Less than a quarter of an hour after he cleared his position, news came out that President Reagan had escaped death, and the price of gold fell again.In just over ten minutes, Liu Jinbao earned a large amount of wealth for the country with his amazing prediction of the gold market.

Liu Jinbao

After this battle, Liu Jinbao became famous in the financial world. A year later, he became famous. Was promoted to deputy manager of Shanghai Trust Consulting Company, a subsidiary of Bank of China.

After that, with his professional ability and unique financial acumen, he gradually rose through the ranks. In 1989, he became the vice president of the Shanghai Branch of Bank of China, marking the peak of his career.

After Liu Jinbao entered the senior management of Bank of China, Liu Jinbao became proud and proud, and his self-confidence began to expand. People around him also fawned over him. Even old classmates who had not been in contact for a long time also congratulated him, but his first love was nowhere to be seen.

When Liu Jinbao thought about the scene when he was rejected by his first love, he became very angry and decided to find Chen Chen and show off in front of him. But communications were not developed at that time, so Liu Jinbao kept asking for four years. Later, a classmate informed him that Chen Chen had not come back after studying abroad and had married and lived in a foreign country.

This news made Liu Jinbao very disappointed. After all, he had worked hard for so many years just to show off in front of Chen Chen and make the other party regret it.

But now that he learned that the other party would not return to China, he felt obsession and regret in his heart.

3 Do you want plastic surgery?

Just when Liu Jinbao was depressed, he had just been promoted to president of the Shanghai branch and met Lin Ling. He thought his "first love" 20 years ago was back.

In order to recover the regrets of the past, Liu Jinbao decided to take the initiative to get close to Lin Ling, and then transferred Lin Ling back to him as a female secretary on the grounds of work.

As a married woman, Lin Ling naturally knew that the president's purpose in appointing her as his secretary was not simple.

could face positions and prospects within her reach. She never refused Liu Jinbao's pursuit. Instead, she greeted Liu Jinbao with a smile and took the initiative to get along with him.

Not long after, Liu Jinbao and Lin Ling developed a relationship, and the relationship between the two also continued to heat up. Liu Jinbao even took Lin Ling on trips in the name of work every now and then. Their love was left in Hong Kong, Shanghai, New York, London and other places. of sparks.

But their inseparable and intimate behavior aroused the anger and dissatisfaction of Lin Ling's husband.

Liu Jinbao took the initiative to make an exception and promoted Lin Ling's husband to a cadre in the field office in order to prevent the scandal from getting bigger. The official position was one level higher than before.

Although Lin Ling's husband was angry, promotion had always been his dream. From then on, he stopped asking about his wife and Liu Jinbao's affairs and just turned a blind eye.

After this, Liu Jinbao and Lin Ling no longer had to care about other people's eyes. In order to please their young lover, Liu Jinbao used stolen money to buy a large amount of gold and silver jewelry for him to meet all his needs.

One day in December 1994, Liu Jinbao was invited to attend a class reunion, and he specially called his young lover Lin Ling.

When Lin Ling appeared in front of everyone, she attracted everyone's attention. At that time, Lin Ling didn't know why. She only thought that she was young and beautiful and attracted everyone's attention.

Due to Liu Jinbao's identity, the old classmate did not dare to speak frankly at first, but after three rounds of drinking, everyone became tipsy and became bolder.

A classmate named Qin said: "Oh my god, you look so much like Chen Chen, the beauty of our class, right? You are just a carbon copy of her, but you are much younger than her."

The reason why Liu Jinbao is called Shang Lin Ling, just for this effect, he said proudly: "Haha, of course, back then, Chen Chen was so arrogant and looked down on me. Now she is old and golden. Even if she kneels down to beg me, I will not look back."

Lin Ling Hearing this, he was confused and didn't know why. After dinner, he took the initiative to ask the reason. Liu Jinbao was so interested that he simply recounted all the events of that year, saying that only after meeting Lin Ling did he realize the "regret of first love."

Liu Jinbao continued: "Although you look similar to Chu Lian, your waist is not as slim as hers, and your chin is not as pointed as hers. Now that plastic surgery technology is so advanced, do you want to go for plastic surgery to look like Chu Lian? That would be more flattering. I like it."

Lin Ling felt troubled after hearing this. She knew that Liu Jinbao was a financial tycoon in Shanghai and the target of countless entrepreneurs. If she didn't follow his wishes, wouldn't she be left out?

Thinking of this, Lin Ling decided to follow Liu Jinbao’s wishes and have plastic surgery. However, plastic surgery requires a reference. When she asked Liu for a photo, Liu waved her hand and said, "The conditions were difficult back then. Where can I get photos? Now she She was in a foreign country, and it was difficult to meet her, so naturally there were no photos. "

I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect that Liu Jinbao would soon fall in love with another woman, which made Lin Ling. The sense of crisis is overwhelming.

Si spent 4 million to "re-enact" his first love

In April 1996, Lin Ling was assigned a 76-square-meter house, but she complained that the house was too small and it was too crowded for the whole family to live together. She hoped that Liu would help her change to a bigger house. .

However, Liu Jinbao, who used to be obedient, refused his young lover's request. What's going on?

It turns out that in 1997, Liu Jinbao was promoted again with the help of his college classmate and former president of the Bank of China, and became the permanent deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macao Management Office and the general manager of the Hong Kong Branch of the Bank of China.

At that time, Hong Kong, as the financial center of Asia, was even more prosperous. Liu Jinbao became arrogant under the bragging and pursuit of many rich people. He lived a life of dissipation and was infatuated with a young female model named Ma, who was obsessed with Lin Ling. This "stand-in" for first love began to become cold.

Lin Ling was already in her thirties at the time. As the saying goes, time makes people grow old, so Liu Jinbao naturally didn't pay much attention to it. This change made Lin Ling start to become anxious.

She has become accustomed to a luxurious life. Without Liu's monetary gifts, she will have nothing.

For this reason, Lin Ling found the model named Ma many times and asked her to leave immediately. Liu Jinbao was furious after hearing this and even more disgusted with him.

Lin Ling recalled that during the two's passionate love, Liu Jinbao never scolded him and was always obedient to him. But now that he has begun to age, he is disliked by the other party.

She remembered that Liu Jinbao asked her to have plastic surgery 2 years ago, and thought that as long as she had plastic surgery like Chen Chen, she could firmly capture Liu Jinbao's heart.

Lin Ling mustered up the courage to have plastic surgery and got Liu Jinbao’s support, but where can she get the photos?

Lin Ling got into the social circle of Liu Jinbao's high school classmates. After many twists and turns, he finally got Chen Chen's photo and found that the two were indeed similar, but Chen Chen seemed to have more temperament. No wonder Liu Jinbao has been thinking about him for many years.

After having the photos, Lin Ling went to many well-known plastic surgery institutions in Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. He went back and forth more than ten times and spent more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars. Finally, he finally got the desired appearance of Chen Chen when he was young. .

However, as a small employee, it was impossible for Lin Ling to spend so much money. All the money came from Liu Jinbao's corruption and bribery.

Seeing the "white moonlight" in front of him, Liu Jinbao suddenly felt that all the risks he took in corruption and bribery were worth it.

He once again regained his passion for Lin Ling and became inseparable with her.

Lin Ling was also unceremonious. She knew that a woman's youth only lasts a few years, and it wouldn't be long before Liu Jinbao would get bored again, so she asked for large amounts of jewelry and real estate.

This time, Lin Ling once again asked Liu Jinbao to buy a big house for him. Liu no longer refused. He immediately called Xie, a real estate manager, and made an appointment to have a meal together.

At the dinner table, Liu Jinbao expressed his needs unceremoniously, which was to help his young lover buy a big house. In return, he agreed to approve loans for his company's new projects.

Xie was so excited after hearing this that he personally took Lin Ling to various major real estate projects in Shanghai, and personally bought a 152-square-meter house as a gift to him.

Afterwards, Xie received more than 300 million illegal loans directed by Liu Jinbao.

However, after buying a mansion, it still needs to be renovated. After all, with Lin Ling's salary income, it is difficult to spend money for renovations.

Liu Jinbao agreed to Lin Ling's various unreasonable requests one by one. He immediately called Qian, the chairman of Hong Kong Wantai Group, and put forward his needs.

The next day, Qian immediately sent 280,000 in cash, found a decoration company for him, and also gave him the latest home appliances and furniture.

In order to repay this favor, Liu Jinbao approved an illegal loan of 1.48 billion yuan for Qian.

Calculated before and after, Liu Jinbao illegally approved a loan of 1.8 billion yuan for a favor fee of less than 2 million yuan, and this was also the first step for Liu Jinbao to embark on the road of corruption. He began to discover the huge benefits that the power in his hands brought to him, and he intensified his corruption and bribery.

5 In a cocoon

However, Liu Jinbao, whose private life is chaotic, is particularly concerned about his image in public. For example, he beautified himself in the book "Echoes of Finance":

"I like to make friends by nature, but today I am afraid of making friends. Sitting in my chair, I am most afraid of making friends with entrepreneurs. Because some The entrepreneur made friends with me, and the next step was to ask me for a loan... As for a girlfriend, he was even more afraid... The essence of love is to give. "

In fact, his lovers came one after another, especially to Lin. Ling was even more enamored, wondering how he could say "I don't dare to have a girlfriend" against his will.

In 1997, the famous reporter Bai Yansong conducted an exclusive interview with financial tycoon Liu Jinbao. During this visit, Liu Jinbao specially dressed up to look young and chic.

Bai Yansong has long admired this all-powerful young financier. He also raised a question that has puzzled him for a long time:

"For men, money, power, and fame are all irresistible. Which one do you prefer?"

Liu Jinbao said modestly: "I like power the most! Power, money, fame, these are all neutral, good or bad, it depends on whose hands it is, don't you think, let it be in the hands of people with ideals and ambitions Better?"

Liu Jinbao's answer made Bai Yansong admire his personality even more. He even naively thought: "This is the most valuable answer I remember in the interview that day!"

But in fact, this is the answer. At that time, Liu Jinbao had fallen into corruption and bribery and was unable to extricate himself. His ambition and desire for power, money, and sex exceeded Bai Yansong's imagination.

After Hong Kong returned to , Liu Jinbao was transferred to work in Hong Kong. With the financial power in Hong Kong, he gave the "green light" to many wealthy businessmen and entrepreneurs in Hong Kong. As long as he gave him gifts in advance, he could get the loan he wanted. .

It is reported that there is a wealthy businessman who is good at complimenting Liu Jinbao, so he got a few more loans and soon transformed from an unknown real estate developer to a person at the top of the rich list.

Under the bribery and flattery of many rich people, Liu Jinbao's life became more and more luxurious. During holidays, he would visit various social banquets, clubs, resorts of the rich, and even go abroad to gamble.

An investigation showed that he purchased 7 properties in Shanghai, smoked cigars for a box of 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, and had to reimburse his employer for medical expenses for his family pet dog, which easily cost millions.

In order to satisfy his eating, drinking and having fun, he also hinted that his subordinate employees would equip him with luxury cars such as "Mercedes-Benz RV", "Mercedes-Benz " off-road vehicle , and his "social expenses" amounted to hundreds of millions of yuan.

Regarding the public's doubts about his large consumption of public funds, he said confidently: "I am a dignified president. How can I make money for the country if I don't know how to spend money? Which president of a European and American bank does not do this?"

In 1999, the Bank of China in Hong Kong A set of Hong Kong dollars was issued, and Liu Jinbao, who cherished feathers, specially signed the back of the set of banknotes to gain a good reputation. For a time, many young people in Hong Kong regarded him as an idol.

When Liu Jinbao was arrested, the Bank of China also specifically stated that this set of hundred-dollar bills is still legal to use and redeem, so there are still Hong Kong dollars signed by Liu Jinbao on the market.

In 2002, Liu Jinbao was appointed as the vice chairman and president of Bank of China Hong Kong. His further promotion in the position also made his corruption more rampant, but this also attracted the attention of his superiors.

The following year, the case of Xinnongkai Company borrowing HKD 2.1 billion attracted public attention. Soon after, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection found Liu Jinbao. Before the staff could question him, he was shaking all over, his legs were limp, and he almost fainted to the ground. .

Soon, Liu Jinbao was escorted back to Beijing by the police. At the same time, a group of wealthy businessmen and financial executives were also taken away. As soon as this news came out, it shocked the entire financial world.

investigation showed that from the end of 1995 to the end of 2000, Liu Jinbao used his power to make 28 illegal loans to Wantai Group, with a total of 1.5 billion loans decentralized, and the amount of non-performing loans exceeded 1 billion.

In fact, during his tenure in Hong Kong, Liu Jinbao’s salary plus dividend income amounted to millions, which is already a very considerable income.

At that time, Bank of China Hong Kong also spent HK$34.044 million to purchase a luxury home for him. After he was promoted to president of Bank of China Hong Kong, his salary exceeded that of the president of European and American branches, which was enough to satisfy his luxurious life.

When asked why he continues to be corrupt, Liu Jinbao said:

"I am a dignified bank president, and my salary is not enough for those rich people to pay for a meal. I am responsible for lending, but my pocket is very shabby. I think, I Now I am more prestigious, and a lot of rich people are fawning over me, but what will I do if I quit?”

It can be seen that it was under the fawning of those rich people that Liu Jinbao lost himself and became greedy. Once on the road to corruption there will be no return.

Regarding his relationship with Lin Ling, Liu Jinbao said plausibly: "What can a man like me want that a woman can't get? My relationship with her is not what you think of as a transaction of power and sex. We are true love."

And Lin Ling, the artificial "first love", also faced doubts and said that she and Liu Jinbao were together because of their charm. Their love for each other was simple and pure, not a transaction of power and sex.

But whether it is Liu Jinbao or Lin Ling, their claims are untenable.

After all, in order to please his lover, Liu Jinbao bought a lot of luxury goods for him, spent a lot of money on plastic surgery, and purchased real estate for him. All these expenses were paid for by the state.

Liu Jinbao turns a blind eye to the power and sex transactions in "Artificial First Love", but is selectively blind and thinks that each other is "true love". This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

It is worth mentioning that after learning that Liu Jinbao had been arrested, Lin Ling chose to run away without caring about the "true love" they had shared for nearly ten years.

On August 13, 2005, Liu Jinbao was sentenced to death by the Changchun Intermediate People's Court of Jilin Province, with a two-year suspension of execution, and his personal property was confiscated for embezzlement of 14.2887 million yuan, bribery of 1.438 million yuan, and unidentified property sources of 14.51 million yuan. In this regard, the most popular figure in Financial Street was "lost" and was sanctioned by the law.

It is worth mentioning that after Liu Jinbao learned that he had been sentenced to death with a reprieve, he made a request that was laughable: "Can you report it to your superiors? I don't want a penny anymore, and I don't want to be an official anymore. Is it possible to be an ordinary citizen? "

During his tenure, Liu Jinbao burned incense and worshiped Buddha many times with public funds, and even spent a huge sum of money to hire a three-faced Buddha from Myanmar . It seems that he is more pious, but in fact he is just seeking spiritual refuge after doing all his bad things. .

Until the last moment when he faced legal punishment, Liu Jinbao still did not repent and tried to hope that the law would be lenient and tolerant. This idea was just self-deception and deception.
