The picture shows Su Hongbo under investigation.

"Qin Guangrong called me by my name, Hong Bo. Bai Enpei called me Mr. Su, and Cao Jianfang also called me Mr. Su..."

"Qin Guangrong was so polite and respectful to me, Bai Enpei was so polite and respectful to me, sitting next to me People who eat while eating feel different..."

Why is Su Hongbo, an ordinary businessman, so close to the two Yunnan Provincial Party Committee Secretaries? What kind of ability does he have that makes some leading cadres in Yunnan feel proud to be on top of him and feel proud to be in his circle? What is the origin of this political broker who has had a huge impact on Yunnan’s cadre work and seriously polluted and destroyed Yunnan’s political ecology?

He packaged himself as an all-powerful figure with all-powerful hands and eyes.

Su Hongbo deliberately created his own identity and background with a strong background, strong backing, and wide connections. He caught Bai Enpei and Qin Guangrong's evil thoughts and thoughts, so he created a maze. During his tenure as the two provincial party committee secretaries, he had both sides and was treated as a guest by Bai Enpei and Qin Guangrong.

On September 26, 2019, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission announced that Qin Guangrong had been expelled from the party. "Severely undermined the party's organizational line and distorted the orientation of employment." "There is no sense of discipline and law, colluding with illegal private business owners, unscrupulously amassing money, engaging in power-for-money transactions, and seeking benefits for others in job promotions, business operations, etc.," He also illegally accepted property, caused serious damage to the political ecology of the area where he served, and caused serious harm to the cause and image of the party." These behaviors are important elements of Qin Guangrong's serious disciplinary violations.

After Qin Guangrong became the Secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, he not only failed to eliminate Bai Enpei's bad influence, but instead fostered "mountainism" and gang phenomena in different forms. He changed his ways to violate the party's organizational line and formed his own small circle, which led to the political ecology of Yunnan. There is a lack of integrity, unhealthy trends are rampant, and pollution continues to spread. Among them, the one who fueled the flames was Su Hongbo, who was affectionately called "Hongbo" by Qin Guangrong.

Su Hongbo, male, Han nationality, once worked at the Yunnan Provincial Planning Commission Training Center.

"In 1989, I went to work at the Training Center of the Yunnan Provincial Planning Commission and served as the head of the reception section. I met Cao Jianfang (former member of the Standing Committee and Secretary-General of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, who has been investigated and punished) at the training center of the Provincial Planning Commission, and many leaders We all know each other here," Su Hongbo said. Later, he went to sea to do business.

Su Hongbo said: "I don't have much background. All these things I have, I should say this, I may have made more tricks from beginning to end."

Su Hongbo said that he had made tricks. What kind of tricks were they? How can a businessman gain the trust of Bai Enpei and Qin Guangrong?

It turns out that during the National Two Sessions in 2003, Bai Enpei invited a certain leader to have dinner, and happened to meet Su Hongbo and a group of people eating at another table, including many leading cadres. To join in the fun, two tables of guests were combined into one table. On the same day, Bai Enpei got to know some leading cadres through this meal.

It was also through this meal that Bai Enpei believed that Su Hongbo had wide connections, connections in Beijing, and good hands and eyes, and could help him, so he greatly shortened his relationship with Su Hongbo. The two became so close that every time Su Hongbo visited Yunnan, Bai Enpei would invite him to his home for dinner and chat.

"Every time I come to Kunming, Bai (Enpei) will know about it. And no matter how big a leader he is accompanying, his wife will ask me to go to his house at 8 o'clock. Basically, when I go to his house, he doesn't care who he accompanies." , will come back at 8 o'clock to have a drink and chat with me," Su Hongbo said.

"In 2005, he (Su Hongbo) returned to Yunnan. At that time, I felt that he was developing well in all aspects, and he also had connections in Beijing. At that time, I thought he was with Bai Enpei, but I didn't know how close he was to Qin. , I found out later,” said Cao Jianfang, former member of the Standing Committee of the Yunnan Provincial Committee and Secretary-General.

"Qin Guangrong, I have never taken the initiative to call him and ask the secretary or the governor to have a meal with him. This has never happened. He took the initiative to arrange meals. He asked Cao Jianfang to arrange for me to have meals. When I came, he would come. Take a walk with me, take a walk with me every day," Su Hongbo said.

can't afford to be early if there is no profit.The two provincial party committee secretaries had their own reasons for "loving and caring" Su Hongbo. It is nothing more than taking a fancy to Su Hongbo's so-called "background" and connections, setting up antennas for himself, climbing high branches, and seeking shortcuts and conveniences for higher political pursuits.

The shrewd Su Hongbo immediately realized what his so-called halo could bring. In order to win the trust of Yunnan cadres, Su Hongbo traveled between Beijing and Yunnan, deliberately creating an identity background with strong connections, strong backing, and wide connections, and packaged himself as an omnipotent figure with hands and eyes, boundless power, and a dragon. Seeing the beginning but not the end, mysterious and mysterious. He took advantage of the situation and seized on Bai Enpei and Qin Guangrong's evil thoughts and evil thoughts, so he created a confusing formation. During the two provincial party secretaries' tenure, he had both sides and was treated as a guest.

"I can't see him clearly. I feel that he has great style and momentum, and he has that feeling of being aloof." A Yunnan cadre who has contacts with Su Hongbo said.

"Su Hongbo is a very smart person. He has high emotional intelligence, is very observant, sociable, and can deceive." The investigators said that Su Hongbo "knows what to do", has accumulated a certain network of contacts, is familiar with the operating rules of the system, and has a deep understanding of the system. Being familiar with the so-called "hidden rules" of officialdom became an important asset for him to influence the Yunnan officialdom in the future.

Some cadres who are "spiritually deficient" regard him as a capable person and deliberately cling to him.

Su Hongbo relies on "strategies" to trap senior cadres, secondly relies on senior cadres to support his platform, and thirdly relies on the so-called favor of senior cadres to attract others. Cadres stay close to him and form their own official and business circles. Their ultimate goal is just four words: to obtain profits.

Of course, relying on chance will not last long. Su Hongbo is not stupid. He deliberately wants to send a signal and do something "something" to show to the cadres in Yunnan, constantly deepening the impression of others that he has a "big background, strong backing, and wide connections."

"That time, when I was eating out, I became unhappy while eating. I slapped the table and left. Later, many people told me that many people from the province were there at that time, and the news spread widely, saying that this person was a member of the Provincial Party Committee He dared to slap the table and leave after the secretary’s dinner, so he was willing to deal with me, and he liked this feeling very much.

is actually a very simple routine and trick, but it hits the "weakness" of some party members and cadres. Su Hongbo took advantage of the so-called "hidden rules" of officialdom to allow some "spiritually deficient" cadres to regard him as a "capable person" and deliberately cling to him for fear of not realizing it.

"Naturally, he hopes to get acquainted with the provincial leaders through him. By getting acquainted with the leaders, he can create conditions for his own working environment. Of course, he also hopes to get the recognition of the leaders through this method. In fact, this is also a circle culture, a kind of The phenomenon of dependence," said a Yunnan cadre who had contacts with Su Hongbo.

Gradually, Su Hongbo began to regard himself as a "spokesperson" when dealing with some Yunnan cadres and eating and drinking together. He even sat at the head of the table when having meals with some provincial cadres. Some department-level leading cadres treated him with respect and were afraid of offending him.

"I also told them some things consciously or unconsciously, and they felt that I was different. Later I felt that this thing was quite useful to me. Cao Jianfang asked me to tell these people something about something. In this way, if It’s very convenient for me to do whatever I want to do.” Su Hongbo said.

"Actually, that's what he said. It felt very grand and loud, but he wouldn't be very specific. Cao Jianfang called him the chief, and he was respectful." A Yunnan cadre who had contacts with Su Hongbo said.

spoke only half a sentence, pretending to be mysterious, and was particular about his titles. Instead of mentioning his position, he said "chief". Su Hongbo took great pains to package himself, and the results were obvious. Many cadres were deceived by him.

"Su Hongbo uses this sense of mystery to create a purpose for everyone to cling to him and build a ladder through him to enter the circle. He wants to say that you will all surrender to me in the end and listen to my mercy. Used by me," a Yunnan cadre who had contacts with Su Hongbo reflected.

Another Yunnan cadre who had contacts with Su Hongbo truthfully stated his mentality at the time in the inspection materials: I dated Su Hongbo and participated in Qin Guangrong’s activities organized by Su Hongbo because I wanted to make friends with him and please Qin Guangrong. Entering the "circle" to engage in personal dependence.

"Su Hongbo relies on tactics to trap senior cadres, secondly relies on senior cadres to support his platform, thirdly relies on the so-called favor of senior cadres to attract other cadres to come closer to him, and fourthly relies on forming his own official and business circle. His ultimate goal is four words : Obtain benefits.” The investigator said, “If you think about it carefully, it’s actually unbelievable that some cadres have lost their basic stance and political discernment and put aside their party spirit and principles through some tricks. , to rely on and trust a businessman. "

bosses around, seriously damaging the political ecology

The normal path to promotion was destroyed by Qin Guangrong, Cao Jianfang, Su Hongbo and others. The right path was blocked, and the evil path was wide open. The "old scalper" who worked hard. "People who are good at speculating and clinging are not promoted and reused, but they rise to great heights, and the employment orientation is seriously distorted.

After Qin Guangrong became the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, he was both afraid of and courting Su Hongbo. When selecting cadres, Qin Guangrong took the initiative to say to Su Hongbo: "Do you have any suitable people you can recommend?" "It's time to change the term, you have Just tell me what kind of cadre you are."

Qin Guangrong will take care of or reuse any cadre recommended by Su Hongbo to Qin Guangrong. Lin Yunye, the former director of the Department of Land and Resources of Yunnan Province, gradually stepped into leadership positions at the deputy and department levels through his relationship with Su Hongbo.

"Qin Guangrong became the governor, and I introduced Lin Yunye to Qin Guangrong. Later Lin Yunye called me and he said, Mr. Su, thank you. The leader has already told him that he will become the director of the department. ." Su Hongbo said.

The position of director of the department was actually taken over by a political broker like Su Hongbo. It is chilling and the impact can be imagined.

"I am in this small circle, and I must have my own ideas. Maybe it will be more convenient for me to ask others for anything in the future." Su Hongbo said, "If you say that I don't enjoy this circle, it is also a lie. I also enjoy it. I enjoyed this feeling and later forgot what I was doing. "

Su Hongbo caused serious damage to Yunnan's political ecology. The fundamental reason is the "mutual relationship" between different interests. Su Hongbo "seeks wealth", while Bai Enpei, Qin Guangrong and others seek political capital and self-interest, forming a so-called "resonance" with Su Hongbo. In order to climb high branches and ride the wind, some Yunnan cadres will inevitably enter Su Hongbo's "circle". In this way, a "strange circle" is formed, everyone has his own agenda and benefits. "Get on board and build a bridge", the interests of many parties are intertwined.

"I made it clear to Qin Guangrong. I said that the leader hopes that you can come and step down with me. I have less contact with Kunming City. Can you save face with me? He said, yes, go." Su Hong Bo said.

Su Hongbo greeted Qin Guangrong and others and illegally obtained engineering construction projects; recommended and placed cadres in key resource areas, obtained engineering construction projects in these fields, etc., and grabbed huge economic benefits in Yunnan, for example, only Hunan Road and other projects, Su Hongbo made a profit of 130 million yuan.

Su Hongbo has served as Yunnan’s “minister of underground organizations” for many years and has had a great influence on Yunnan cadres. By acting as a political broker, he gained political capital and gained the trust of some Yunnan cadres. He transformed political capital and political cloak into capital for grabbing economic interests, and then extended his hands to the economic field, while some Yunnan cadres became his pawns to obtain benefits. tool.

In his confession, Qin Guangrong admitted that he violated the party's organizational line and traded organizational principles, which led to the prevalence of bad practices in personnel selection and employment. He also admitted his desire to climb high and seek higher positions through Su Hongbo. In his confession, he wrote: As secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, these actions of mine have encouraged individual cadres in Yunnan to seek backers, "connect the antenna" and take shortcuts. The spread of this trend has also created a living space for some political swindlers and political brokers in Yunnan.The most typical one is Su Hongbo... After I became the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, not only did I not deal with him, but I valued his so-called relationship background. I both curry favor with him and feared him. I also listened to his opinions and tolerated some cadre issues. Allowing Su Hongbo to continue to act like a fox and pretend to be a tiger, which encouraged Su Hongbo's arrogance and arrogant behavior.

Su Hongbo took a fancy to Qin Guangrong's "weight", so he took advantage of this relationship. Whenever there was a cadre adjustment, Su Hongbo went to the Qin family to lobby and recommend cadres to Qin Guangrong.

Qin Guangrong and others have adopted a "circle only" theory in the use of cadres. People in the circle, such as Cao Jianfang, Jiang Zhaogang, Wan Renli, etc., are promoted and used; the "profit only" theory is based on profit. Qin Guangrong nakedly traded on organizational principles and gave away favors, which led to political and business collusion in some places and departments in Yunnan, interest groups became powerful, and unscrupulous businessmen became the protagonists and links, causing serious damage to the political ecology.

Su Hongbo is good at maneuvering and speculation, good at observing people's actions, good at communication, and good at deception. He is a typical political speculator. Some Yunnan cadres tried every means to cross the "bridge" of Su Hongbo to Qin Guangrong's "shore". In the end, Qin Guangrong, Cao Jianfang and others colluded with Su Hongbo, took advantage of each other, and each got what they needed.

The normal road to promotion was destroyed by Qin Guangrong, Cao Jianfang, Su Hongbo and others. The right path was blocked and the evil path was wide open. The hard-working "old scalpers" were not promoted and reused, while those who were good at speculating and clinging rose to the top. The guidance was severely distorted and had a very bad demonstration effect. What Su Hongbo did seriously damaged Yunnan’s political ecology.

"Based on my own experience and interactions with Su Hongbo, I feel that any leading cadre must rely on his or her own ability to work hard! In this way, you can be down-to-earth and sleep peacefully." , once you enter the circle, it feels like you are taking advantage from now on, but in the long run, as our country's governance becomes more legalized and standardized, you may end up losing more than you gain. " Lin Yunye confessed.

"The lessons are very profound, and have had a very bad impact on the organization and the employees. I am also very ashamed, especially since I was born and raised in this place. These problems have arisen in the recommendation and use of cadres, I'm really sorry for the organization and Yunnan," Cao Jianfang said regretfully.

"Qin Guangrong, Cao Jianfang and others colluded with Su Hongbo. Their actions violated the party's organizational line, distorted the orientation of employment, selected and appointed cadres in violation of regulations, and encouraged the unhealthy tendencies of building antennas, looking for backers, and taking shortcuts among Yunnan cadres. , causing serious damage to the political ecology," said the investigators.

Currently, in accordance with the arrangements of the 8th Plenary Session of the 10th Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, a special democratic life meeting to learn the profound lessons from the Qin Guangrong case and a special rectification campaign to "eliminate the poison, remove the influence, clear the source, and establish integrity" are being launched across the province.
