In 1978, reform and opening up, going into business became a trend. Many smart people gave up their comfortable work and devoted themselves to this torrent. Among them, Cao Dewang from Fuyao Glass, Lenovo's Liu Chuanzhi , Huawei Ren Zhengfei , Haier Zhang Ruimin , etc.
Of course, there are successes, and there are failures. Many of them destroyed themselves by themselves, such as Chen Guixiang, who was a "forestation of thousands of miles", Mou Zhong, who changed canned food to planes, and Guan Yanbin, the boss of New Oriental who beat his wife into a vegetable.
The person I am going to talk about today has a net worth of 700 million in 2003 and also married a wife who is 11 years younger than her. Unfortunately, she did not study well and was sent to prison at the age of 48 and sentenced to life. This person is Xie Genrong.
Xie Genrong, a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang, only had a junior high school degree. After leaving school, Xie Genrong, who was only in his teenage years, ran to the Sino-Russia border to start a clothing business. By the 1990s, Xie Genrong, who was in his early twenties, had accumulated tens of millions of assets.
Later, the clothing business was not easy to do, so Xie Genrong turned his attention to the beer industry that had just emerged at that time. So Xie Genrong opened his own Waltson Brewery and built a Waltson Beer City .
In the beer business, Xie Genrong made a lot of money, and then began to enter the real estate industry. In 1996, Xie Genrong abandoned his wife and turned to marry Guan Ying, who was 12 years younger than him.
Really speaking, he has a beautiful wife at home and his business is doing well. Xie Genrong should be satisfied. However, Xie Genrong did not. He began to squander and gamble in Macau, losing more than 12 million yuan. He also had Bentley, Rolls-Royce , BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. Xie Genrong is not short of either. In order to show his identity, he also rented an office at Diaoyutai for a price of one million yuan per year.
In addition, I spent 3 million yuan to sell two houses in Xicheng, Beijing and 10 million yuan to buy a house on Chang'an Street. You should know that the 10 million yuan at that time was not a small amount.
So squandered, soon there was a problem with Xie Genrong's company's finances, but Xie Genrong was not afraid and borrowed from the bank without money.
In 2002, Xie Genrong attracted the attention of the bank because of continuous loans. Lin Zhuang, the president of a branch of a certain bank, and Zhao Feng, deputy president, went to Xie Genrong to discuss the loan. Xie Genrong was calm and took the two "golden jade clothes" to see his collection, pointed to the two "golden jade clothes" and said: "There are only two pieces in the world, with a valuation of 2.4 billion, and only a few hundred million. Will I owe you not to repay it? ".
Afraid that the two "governors" would not believe it, Xie Genrong also presented evaluation reports signed by five top domestic antique appraisal experts, including Wang Wenxiang, former secretary-general of the Chinese Collectors Association, , Yang Boda, former vice president of the Palace Museum, and Yang Fuxu, former director of the Gem Appraisal Center of Peking University.
Seeing the expert's signature, the two "governors" believed that Xie Genrong did have the ability to repay the money. Not only did he not collect debts, but after he returned, he loaned Xie Genrong 50 million and 450 million bank acceptance bills.
Relying on loans, in 2003, Xie Genrong was selected into the 400 Richest Man in Mainland China with a net worth of 700 million.
However, in 2008, Xie Genrong was arrested. The reason was very simple. During the audit, a certain bank found that most of the more than 900 million loans distributed by this branch were related to Xie Genrong. He suspected that Xie Genrong was a loan fraud. As a result, after investigation, it was true.
Xie Genrong called the "golden jade clothes" worth 2.4 billion yuan, but he stringed them up by himself. However, the expert's appraisal book is indeed true. Five experts including Wang Wenxiang and Yang Boda did not even touch these two gold-width jade clothes. After receiving the evaluation fee of hundreds of thousands, he estimated the sky-high price of 2.4 billion.
For loan fraud, 48-year-old Xie Genrong was sent to prison and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, those experts who "speak nonsense" had no laws to bear criminal responsibility for the error of the identification at that time, and were not subject to legal sanctions. This is really hateful.
