"Bang"! The dull sound broke the tranquility of the night.
On March 27, 2012, in Shanghai, the leading police officer kicked open the door. In the corner of the wall, a tall woman was slashing her wrist with a sharp blade.
If the police had not broken into the door in time, in a few minutes, the woman in front of her would have turned into a cold corpse.
No one would have thought that this woman who lives in a private house in the suburbs of Shanghai is the " Changshu No. 1 Beauty" Gu Chunfang .
With his outstanding appearance, Gu Chunfang was once a supermodel in the city promotional films, and thus made a great success in the political and business circles. He opened a company to buy a luxury car, borrowed 1.7 billion yuan in four years, becoming the most legendary woman on the streets and alleys.
From "the No. 1 Beauty in Changshu" to a fugitive pursued by the police, what exactly did Gu Chunfang experience?
Beautiful is an advantage, and living beautifully is a skill.
Obviously, Gu Chunfang is the woman who is both superior and capable.
Gu Chunfang, born in 1972, is a well-known local rich and beautiful woman.
Her father is the director of the bank of Bixi Town, Changshu County (not established at the time) and his mother is the director of the village women's director. Gu Chunfang, who has a wealthy family, has a pair of bright and charming eyes, has thin eyebrows, thin lips, and has a tall figure. He enjoys the treatment of starry sky everywhere he goes.
Moreover, Gu Chunfang is extroverted and has strong social skills. She is also a person who responds to all the time in school. The only drawback is that with the adolescence, Gu Chunfang focused on dressing up and her grades were terrible.
Although she was warned by the teacher many times, Gu Chunfang disagreed. She even believed that the boring life in school would bury her innate beauty. Before she finished junior high school, she ignored her parents' dissuasion and resolutely dropped out of school.
With the help of his family, fifteen-year-old Gu Chunfang became a typist at the county's state-owned steel factory. Although his salary was not high, he was stable and decent, and was an enviable iron rice bowl for most people at that time.
Monthly salary was paid, so Gu Chunfang used it to buy clothes and cosmetics, dressing herself up in a colorful way. A group of young men in the factory also rushed to pursue her, constantly giving small gifts to make her happy.
Gu Chunfang, who tasted the sweetness of money, her desire gradually expanded. Within two years, she looked down on the factory's sobering soup. In her opinion, she is so beautiful that she is so frustrating to live here. Only by selling herself out is the best way out.
so she quit her job and applied for a salesperson in a cosmetics company. In the cosmetics industry, beauty is the best advertisement, and Gu Chunfang is eloquent and quickly accumulated a large number of connections, so she became the company's gold medal salesman.
At work, Gu Chunfang met some people in the modeling industry. With their recommendation, Gu Chunfang, who wanted to improve her temperament, participated in several professional courses.
is 1.7 meters tall, and with exquisite facial features, after several classes, Gu Chunfang, who is not a professional, became the focus of everyone. The teacher said to her: "It's a pity that you don't work as a model!"
at that time, but as she grew older, she gradually realized that it was still too slow to make money by making money like this. Since she had such an advantage, why bother working so hard?
1995, 22-year-old Gu Chunfang officially entered the modeling industry.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
Not long after entering the industry, Gu Chunfang ushered in an opportunity. At that time, Changshu held a model selection competition across the city to shoot a set of city promotional videos. With his outstanding appearance, Gu Chunfang successfully won the quota for participation.
Gu Chunfang, who has no experience in appearance, was not nervous at all during the shooting. In the video, her eyes were flowing, her slender hands gently stroked the strings of the piano, a strand of her hair slid down her shoulders, and as her fingertips slid, the clear and smooth sound of the piano came, perfectly matching the gentle temperament of Changshu, a famous Jiangnan city.After the promotional video of
was broadcast, it caused a sensation among the people of the city. The media reported Gu Chunfang, hailing him as "a flower in Changshu" and "the best woman in Changshu".
This time, Gu Chunfang also gave Gu Chunfang the capital to enter the upper class. In a city like Changshu, with active private economy, Gu Chunfang, who has frequent business social engagements and is generous, has won the favor of many wealthy businessmen, and they all praised her for being "pretending".
The generous rewards earned by accompanying food and drinking have been very prosperous, and Gu Chunfang's life has been further expanded. The people she meets are either rich or noble.
However, the sense of crisis also comes. Models are originally an industry that makes a living by youth. Although wealthy businessmen are now generous, they just look at her beauty. When they get old and lose their sex life in a few years, will they still support a half-old Xu Mom for spending money?
Aware of these problems, Gu Chunfang began to plan for transformation. After some investigation, she opened a clothing store in the center of Changshu, mainly operating plush.
The popularity she had accumulated due to filming promotional videos also highlighted the commercial benefits. A large number of customers flocked to the store just to see her beauty, and Gu Chunfang also made a lot of money.
Gu Chunfang is a person who is unwilling to be lonely. After a long time, she is unwilling to act as a vase for being observed in the store and often sneaks out to eat, drink and have fun. After a few times, many people who came here did not see her and had to return in disappointment.
One-to-one pass, and the business of the clothing store plummeted, and later it had to close the door and closed down.
Gu Chunfang, who is used to spending money like money, has to borrow money from his friends to make up for his extravagant living expenses. However, she claimed that such a small place in Changshu had limited development prospects, and she closed the store to raise more funds to open a chain store in Beijing and Shanghai.
Gu Chunfang, who is full of jewels, no one aroused the suspicion of her friends. As long as she speaks, she will help her generously.
Gradually, Gu Chunfang borrowed all his friends. Seeing that borrowing money is so easy, Gu Chunfang had a bold idea.
"Borrow money and pay back the old debt with new money!"
Gu Chunfang, who only has a junior high school education, believes in fortune telling Feng Shui and other things. Since the clothing store went bankrupt, she has visited the famous Feng Shui master in Changshu, and gave advice. After some heart-to-heart talk, the master told her: "Although you are in a difficult situation now, you will be rich and will definitely make a comeback in the future!"
This also injected a shot of a heart-warming agent into Gu Chunfang. In order to borrow more money, Gu Chunfang found a friend and said that she planned to do coal business and wanted to bring everyone wealth together, so she planned to raise funds to create a company, which would repay the interest of 10%-20% every year.
On September 3, 2008, Gu Chunfang registered Suzhou Kaiwei Trading Co., Ltd. with 9 million pieces of paper, and its business scope covers the sales of cement, metal materials, lubricating oil, chemical fiber products, daily necessities, needle textiles, clothing, electromechanical equipment, sewing machines and accessories, hardware, electrical and handicrafts.
But she rarely participates in the company's operations. Most of the time she spends time at various banquets. With the endorsement of in the previous city promotional video, coupled with her bright and beautiful image, many wealthy businessmen are really shining.
In order to please her, many people frantically paid money to her company account in the name of investment.
That's it, Gu Chunfang used the funds borrowed from the next company to distribute them to the previous company's borrower, because of the timely redemption, and he also won a lot of good reputations.
Live in luxury houses and drive luxury cars. Gu Chunfang, wearing famous brands, wanders in various high-end clubs every day, and becomes a famous Changshu female rich man.
During this period, Gu Chunfang found that the game of playing drums and passing flowers would be difficult to end until the end. The most urgent task is to find a powerful rich man to transfer the risks.
Not long after, Gu Chunfang found a rich man who looked quite pleasing to the eye and got married.
Not long after her marriage, she opened a "world-famous" clothing store in Yujing Wenhua Plaza in the center of Changshu. The business this time was pretty good and the returns were considerable.
If this continues, Gu Chunfang still has a chance to repay the debt, but at this moment, her marriage lights up.
Due to different education, three views, and family backgrounds, her husband was dissatisfied with her lingering in the social scene a few months later. How could a person like Gu Chunfang, who has been arrogant since childhood, tolerate being criticized? After a disagreement, the two had a fierce quarrel.
less than a year, this hasty marriage ended in divorce.
In this way, Gu Chunfang's wishful thinking was lost.
In order to repay the huge debt, she continued to absorb funds in the name of investment, and then lend money to use the interest spread to fill the hole. Many people are tempted by her glamorous appearance and often invest millions or even tens of millions of dollars.
A real estate developer in Changshu, Mr. Gu, is the one with the most investments.
General Manager Gu met Gu Chunfang. Gu Chunfang told him that he was in the coal business and hoped to absorb a strong businessman like him to invest. After doing business for many years, he would be skeptical about this kind of argument.
To dispel his doubts, Gu Chunfang took him to a power plant in Zhangjiagang for inspection. The senior leaders of the factory also personally came forward to receive the two of them. Only then did President Gu believe that the delicate woman in front of him was truly powerful and immediately invested 80 million.
After a few months, Gu Chunfang borrowed 100 million from President Gu on the grounds that his business needed capital verification, claiming that he would return it 10 days later. It was not until Gu Chunfang disappeared that Mr. Gu was panicked: "She caused me so miserable. I directly changed from a billionaire to a billionaire. With a debt of 100 million yuan outside, how can I repay this old bone!"
In addition to large amounts of funds, the three melons and two dates in the hands of the working people did not escape Gu Chunfang's covetousness. In the first half of 2011, civil servant Yang Jian met Gu Chunfang under the recommendation of a friend.
Gu Chunfang, dressed in a luxurious outfit, was very impressed by the domestic economic situation. She told Yang Jian: "The real estate industry is now in a downturn. You can definitely not be wrong if you follow me to invest in the coal industry." At the instigation of a friend, Yang Jian took out 600,000 yuan in savings and lent Gu Chunfang 535% of the -year html. In less than a year, Gu Chunfang evaporated.
High returns mean high risks, which is a tacit unspoken rule in the financial field. Hao Wei, the boss of a group company in Changshu, is still scared when talking about this.
In 2009, Gu Chunfang found him and claimed that he and his friends in Beijing were doing coal mine business in Inner Mongolia. With the guarantee of the boss of a large company in Changshu, Hao Wei lent Gu Chunfang more than 30 million, and the two parties agreed to an annual interest rate of 10% to 20%.
At the beginning, Gu Chunfang paid the repayment and interest payment in a timely manner, and the cooperation between the two parties was smooth. But in 2011, he learned that Gu Chunfang was borrowing at an annual interest rate of 35% and felt it was very dangerous, so he quickly withdrew his investment, thus saving most of the principal.
But not everyone does not have such a risk awareness.
By March 2012, the scam could no longer last. More and more people blocked the door and collected debts. Gu Chunfang knew she could not repay it, so she had to flee to Italy in a hurry.
Because she was too hasty, many of her documents and procedures were not available for processing. After wandering in Italy for more than ten days, she moved to Singapore and came to Shanghai.
At the same time, the Changshu police posted her personal information to the Internet and launched a overwhelming pursuit of her.
Gu Chunfang, who was desperate, hid in a rental house in the suburbs of Shanghai, and was in panic all day until she was mentally broken and was about to commit suicide by cutting her wrist.
so the opening scene happened.
The court passed the trial and found that Gu Chunfang had defrauded 400 million yuan of funds from the pretext of coal business, and also defrauded 1 billion yuan of funds through illegal fundraising and contract fraud, plus 300 million yuan of fraud in the name of opening a clothing store. In just four years, Gu Chunfang's fraud involved in the case reached 1.7 billion yuan.
In August 2014, due to the huge amount of fraud, Gu Chunfang was sentenced to death and suspended for two years after trial.
From "the number one beauty in Changshu" to a fraudster who is imprisoned, he has a good hand and has played so badly. Gu Chunfang's experience is really sad.
If she stays in the steel factory to work, she will be able to spend the rest of her life safely; if she insists on selling cosmetics, with her ability, she can also live a good life.
In the final analysis, it was desire that harmed her.
Greed is like fire, if you don’t stop, you will start a prairie fire; desire is like water, if you don’t stop, you will be overwhelming.
