The couple who hold important positions fell off the horse on the same day, causing shock in the Hunan officialdom.

On November 18, 2021, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision announced that Yang Yiwen, Secretary of the Changde Municipal Party Committee, was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and was subject to disciplinary review and supervision investigation. At this time, it has just been half a year since Yang Yiwen took office in the new Changde .

On the same day, Yang Yiwen's wife, Li Xiangjiang, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and deputy director of the Changsha Public Security Bureau, also announced her dismissal.

Yang Yiwen's career started in the police circle, and later worked in economic units such as Changsha Investment and Merchants Bureau, Changsha Foreign Trade Bureau, and Changsha Commerce Bureau. In 2007, Yang Yiwen was promoted to deputy secretary and county magistrate of Changsha County Party Committee. Two years later, he was promoted to secretary of Changsha County Party Committee and began to take charge of the country.

Interface News found that land and urban construction are key areas that Yang Yiwen is suspected of being involved in, and this is also the source of his political achievements. After taking charge of the country, no matter where Yang Yiwen was transferred, he had a relatively stable circle of friends around him: some were his old official relationship with his wife, some met because of his investment and investment, and some were related to him.

From the "top leader" of economic units to the important members in charge of the government, Yang Yiwen's business circle of friends continues to expand. Whether light or dark, these businessmen and friends made Yang Yiwen successful, and they dragged him into the abyss of corruption step by step, making it difficult to turn back.

Old friends turned against each other

It was not surprising that singer Jin Mingchun, who lives in Changsha, saw the news that Yang Yiwen was dismissed. He has continued to report Yang Yiwen for many years.

In 2007, Jin Mingchun suddenly discovered that his father invested in the construction of five houses in Jingui Island, Changsha County in the 1990s. His state-owned land use certificate and real estate certificate were obtained by another company. That year, Yang Yiwen was transferred to Changsha County.

Yang Yiwen, born in 1966, is from Miluo City, Yueyang City, Hunan Province. After graduating from Changsha University (now Changsha College ) in 1987, he entered the police force and became a police officer in the East District of Changsha City (which had been abolished in 1996). Just one year later, Yang Yiwen was transferred to the Political Department of Changsha Public Security Bureau. Since then, Yang Yiwen has entered the fast lane of promotion and served as the "top leader" of many economic units.

When Yang Yiwen was working in the Changsha Foreign Trade Bureau, he met Jin Mingchun, who worked in a foreign cultural unit, and the two were still "half fellow villagers". Born in 1953, Jin Mingchun is a famous baritone singer, vocal scholar, and art educator. After retiring in 2013, he was hired as a researcher at the Cultural and Historical Research Institute of the Hunan Provincial People's Government.

Jin Mingchun introduced that his father rented the right to use and operate Jingui Island in Changsha County in 1995, with a lease period of 80 years. Around 2000, real estate businessman Sheng Moumou found him many times and proposed to buy five houses built by his family on Jingui Island, but was rejected by Jin Mingchun.

Jin Mingchun sued the land lessor and Sheng's company to court on the grounds that the state-owned land use certificate and real estate certificate obtained by Sheng Moumou's company were illegal, but both lost the case.

"Yang Yiwen and I are still half a fellow villager, so we called him and told him about this. How could a good house become someone else's?" Jin Mingchun said, and Yang Yiwen responded that he would take this matter seriously.

But soon, Sheng Moumou's company demolished a house in Jin Mingchun. Jin Mingchun then reported Sheng Moumou.

Jin Mingchun managed to obtain an instruction document on his report, showing that Yang Yiwen ordered the disciplinary inspection department to intervene in the investigation twice. "Why is a civil dispute investigated by the discipline inspection department? Why is it only investigated by the whistleblower, not the whistleblower? I am a cadre in the province, why is the Changsha County Discipline Inspection Department investigated me?" Jin Mingchun was puzzled.

Finally, under Yang Yiwen's instructions, the Changsha County Discipline Inspection Department stepped in to mediate. At the mediation site, Jin Mingchun found that it was not Sheng Moumou who was preparing to pay him money, but Sheng Moumou's business partner.Before this, he always thought that Sheng Moumou was just an ordinary businessman, "he just worked in a company under the supervision of the public and knew several leaders."

He began to investigate Sheng Moumou's background and found that Sheng Moumou was originally a procuratorate cadre. After being cleared out of the procuratorate in 1998, he started doing business and had close contacts with Yang Yiwen and his wife Li Xiangjiang, who had been in the public security team for a long time.

"Add to attract strong people"

Yang Yiwen served as the county magistrate of Changsha County in 2007, Changsha County's GDP was 28.597 billion yuan, ranking first in the county economy ranking of Hunan Province, and ranked 45th among the top 100 counties in the country's county economy and basic competitiveness of county economy.

In 2014, Changsha County successfully entered the top ten in the top 10 counties in the country, ranking ninth. By 2015 before Yang Yiwen left office, Changsha County's GDP had increased to 116.834 billion yuan, ranking eighth among the top 100 counties in the country and first among the six central provinces (Shanxi, Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei and Hunan).

Interface News sorted out the local official media reports of Yang Yiwen during his tenure in Changsha County. The general context of his economic construction is to attract investment and help him participate in Changsha County's land and resources development and urban construction. He once put forward the slogan of "creating a new Changsha in the eastern part of Changsha".

An insider in Changsha County told Interface News that Yang Yiwen publicly proposed at the beginning of his term that Changsha County should use investment promotion as an important means to increase fixed asset investment and drive economic output growth, highlighting "attracting big and strong", targeting the top 500 domestic companies and the world's top 500 companies. During his term of office, he successfully introduced a number of well-known automobile companies, chain catering companies, electronic processing companies, real estate companies and mechanical processing companies.

Yang Yiwen has successfully created a distinctive model project in Hunan Province in the field of economic construction in Changsha County - a rural homestay. The main participating enterprise is an agricultural technology company.

Industrial and commercial registration information shows that the company was established in December 2011 with a registered capital of 14.3815 million yuan. The legal representative is Pi Mou. The business scope includes the research and development of agricultural technology; the planting of flowers, seedlings (excluding seedlings), fruits, and vegetables, etc. At the same time, Pi is also the company's largest shareholder, with holding 529.2% of the shares in html. Some state-owned assets are also shareholders of the company, but the proportion is small.

A manager of the agricultural technology company told Interface News that Pi was born in 1961 and was a middle-level cadre of the Hunan Electric Power Survey and Design Institute. He went into power in the 1996 tide of state-owned enterprise reform and founded a chain supermarket company in Hunan, and owned hundreds of stores in Changsha, Hengyang , Loudi and other places.

The manager introduced that after the company grew, Pi went to Guangdong to develop and cooperated with some Hong Kong-funded enterprises. After Yang Yiwen was promoted to the Secretary of the Changsha County Party Committee, he went to Guangdong to attract investment and reached a cooperation intention with Pi. Pi then established the agricultural technology company in Changsha County. "But what we do is neither agriculture nor technology, but B&Bs in the village can be classified as tourism." The core business model of this enterprise is to integrate idle rural resources and scattered individual farmers with the help of administrative power, and the enterprise will promote and promote the overall rural tourism resources in packages, and be responsible for the design of B&Bs and the construction of supporting infrastructure to attract tourists to consume. The operating income of the homestay is divided by farmers, 30% of the enterprises is divided by village collectives, and 10% of the village collectives. Some projects involved in the company are classified as farmer-friendly projects by relevant departments, and there are large financial subsidies.

The company's manager revealed that Pi had a deep relationship with Yang Yiwen's family. Yang Yiwen's only son was sent abroad by his mother Li Xiangjiang who works in the public security system. His son is engaged in design work abroad and under the instruction of Yang Yiwen, he has participated in some projects of the company in Changsha County.

Changsha Old Friends

In March 2016, Yang Yiwen was promoted from the position of secretary of the Changsha County Party Committee to deputy secretary of the Loudi Municipal Party Committee and acting mayor, and was soon promoted to mayor.

In 2015, Loudi City's GDP was 129.17 billion yuan, ranking 11th among the 14 prefecture-level cities in Hunan Province, with a relatively weak economic foundation.

After Yang Yiwen took office as Loudi, he quickly copied his economic development model during his administration in Changsha County: vigorously attracting investment.Public information shows that during his tenure as mayor of Loudi, Yang Yiwen successfully introduced major projects including heavy truck parts, high- silicon steel , and power industry.

In addition, the coal and metal mineral resources in the jurisdiction of Loudi City are rich, and there are many environmental debts in the past economic development process. Yang Yiwen has successively launched comprehensive environmental improvement projects for Lianshui and Sunshui, the main rivers in Loudi.

In addition, Yang Yiwen also brought businessmen who were familiar with him in Changsha County. The manager of the aforementioned agricultural technology company recalled that before Yang Yiwen took office in Loudi City, he had made an appointment with Pi and proposed to ask Pi to follow him and move the company to Loudi. After considering it, Pi refused Yang Yiwen on the grounds that moving to Loudi was inconsistent with the company's development strategy and that most company employees were unwilling to leave Changsha.

But another business friend of Yang Yiwen, Sheng Moumou, quickly "sieges the city and land" in Loudi. Public information shows that it has been less than three months since Yang Yiwen took office as Loudi. A company where Sheng Moumou served as the legal representative signed a framework agreement on the cooperative development and operation of a scenic spot in the city with the Lianyuan Municipal People's Government, a county-level city under Loudi. The operating period of is 30 years, and the scenic spot operations are all entrusted to Sheng Moumou's company.

The company where Sheng Moumou serves as the legal representative is companies listed on the New Third Board, with a total of three corporate shareholders. Among the major shareholder companies that absolutely control , Sheng Moumou holds about 25% of the shares, and he also holds 50% of the shares in another small shareholder company.

A middle-level person from the listed company told Interface News that although Sheng Moumou had also worked in other industries such as real estate after going into business, the basic foundation of his business has always been to cooperate with government departments in tourism development. Because Sheng Moumou is active in thinking and familiar with the law, he has done many successful business plans for the scenic spots he runs in his early years.

, a middle-level official, said that due to a commercial hype incident planned by Sheng Moumou, it caused a major negative impact across the country, and later acted in a low-key manner. In addition, because of his old acquaintance with Yang Yiwen, Sheng Moumou was cautious when he arrived in Loudi and tried to avoid attracting too much attention from the outside world.

In addition to being fully responsible for the operation of the scenic spot, Sheng Moumou's company also won a water rafting project in Lianyuan City , and there were no other actions in Loudi.

"Mayor's Project"

During his tenure as mayor of Loudi, Yang Yiwen, the largest livelihood project promoted by the local people's livelihood project, has caused great controversy.

Because some of the infrastructure in Loudi City is old, some of the main roads in the urban area are still cement roads, which to a certain extent affects the overall urban appearance of Loudi City.

In 2016, Loudi City launched a large-scale "white to black" (cement road to asphalt road) project, and carried out "white to black" of the main driving lanes and auxiliary roads of the original dilapidated roads. It adopted modified asphalt concrete pavement, renovated and replaced the sidewalk slabs, and built new rainwater pipes to ensure the diversion of rain and sewage. At the same time, greening, street lights, traffic and monitoring facilities along the route were renovated and upgraded.

Interface News learned from authoritative channels that in the "white to black" project on Dixing Road, Louxing District, Loudi City, Yang Yiwen ignored the opposition of many functional departments and strongly demanded that a traffic light and pedestrian zebra crossing be added to the Marriott City Square section of Dixing Road.

Dixing Road is about 4 kilometers long, crossing the entire Loudi urban area from south to north, and is the most important north-south transportation artery in Loudi City. Yang Yiwen asked for additional traffic lights and sidewalks to connect the Marriott City Square on the east side and the Fashion Spring Commercial Pedestrian Street on the west side. These two are one of the most prosperous business districts in Loudi City and have a large flow of people.

But the problem is that Marriott City Square and Fashion Spring Commercial Pedestrian Street were originally connected with underground passages, which not only ensures pedestrian safety, but also does not affect the speed of traffic flow on Dixing Road. Moreover, there are many shops run by small businesses in the underground passage. Once the sidewalk is repaired, the passenger flow of the underground passage will inevitably be affected.

The first to object to traffic police, planning, road administration and other functional departments. They were puzzled by the purpose of adding traffic lights and sidewalks, and they did not see any feasibility arguments from experts in the project materials, so they doubted their necessity and rationality. "Later, Mayor Yang (Yang Yiwen) called and notified that they must be supported unconditionally, which is a task."

Interface News learned from authoritative channels that the businessman behind the scenes who undertakes the signal lights and sidewalk projects here are very close to Yang Yiwen, and the two are also related. The businessman not only intervened in the "white to black" project and the competition for mineral resources in Loudi City, but also deeply participated in some urban construction projects during Yang Yiwen's term in Changsha County.

Before Yang Yiwen was brought down, the businessman was no longer in China.

Relevant persons introduced that compared with Changsha County, Yang Yiwen's main political leader, Yang Yiwen's field of economic projects through specific merchants in Loudi has changed. "In Changsha County, his specific relationship person is mainly involved in two major areas: real estate and urban construction. But in Loudi, because after he took office, there had been many financing crashes in the real estate industry, so his goal was to focus on the urban construction field. Many people think that he gave up on the real estate boss, but this time he was dismissed, and a real estate boss in Loudi was taken away to cooperate with the investigation, which shows that he still interfered in the real estate project, but his method was more concealed. "

encirclement

In April 2021, Yang Yiwen was transferred from the mayor of Loudi to the secretary of the Changde Municipal Party Committee. Changde City GDP ranks third in Hunan Province, and the gap with the second place Yueyang City is not big, only more than 20 billion yuan.

It seems that Yang Yiwen was promoted again, but in fact, the encirclement of Yang Yiwen by the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision is shrinking step by step.

As early as August 2021, Pi, who was very close to Yang Yiwen, was taken away to cooperate with the investigation. However, the management personnel of the aforementioned company where Pi is located told Interface News that this investigation has no direct relationship with Yang Yiwen, but because the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision is investigating a state-owned enterprise in Hunan Province When the person in charge was suspected of violating discipline and law, he found that a bribe of 200,000 yuan was found to have taken away the accounts of Pi's company.

A month later, Jin Mingchun, who had been reporting Yang Yiwen in real name, received a reply from relevant departments, asking him to further supplement materials for the reporting matters.

At this time, Yang Yiwen, secretary of the Changde Municipal Party Committee, who had just taken office for a short time, was busy with investment promotion work that he had always been good at. A relevant person in Changde City introduced that Yang Yiwen's first move after taking office was to deploy investment promotion work, and the intensity was greater than when he was in Changsha County and Loudi City. "He directly assigned investment promotion tasks to the main leaders at the municipal level. When the conference was held, the goal he proposed was to implement 18 attracting projects in 2021, and also required to attract a batch of major projects with a single investment of more than 1 billion yuan. "

Yang Yiwen, who was devoted to work on the surface, seemed to have noticed that the encirclement of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision was tightening. The management staff of the aforementioned company where Pi was located said that not long ago, Pi confessed that Yang Yiwen and Li Xiangjiang were transferring assets abroad, but found that they were restricted from being transferred.

But even so, Yang Yiwen was still exchanging interests with merchants through engineering construction. Interface News learned from reliable channels that before Yang Yiwen was brought down, a businessman in Hunan Province had negotiated with Yang Yiwen to cooperate with Changde through an intermediary, and just waited for Yang Yiwen to complete the process and hold a bid. "I didn't expect that Yang Yiwen was down so quickly, and his previous efforts were wasted. "

The day after Yang Yiwen and Li Xiangjiang were arrested, Yang Yiwen's sister, Yang Wenli, former director of the Human Resources Department of Changsha Radio and Television Station, was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and was subject to disciplinary review and supervision investigation. More than ten days later, Yang Yiwen and Li Xiangjiang's only son were arrested.

" Hunan Daily " published an article saying that Yang Yiwen and Li Xiangjiang were both investigated and sounded the alarm again. Hunan Province's discipline inspection and supervision organs adhered to systematic thinking, combined punishment and prevention, and carried out investigation and rectification at the same time, and "dare not to be corrupt." , Cannot be corrupt, and do not want to be corrupt" is promoted in all aspects of rectification of work style, discipline and anti-corruption. It not only severely punishes corruption, strengthens supervision and restraint, but also pays attention to education and guidance, which has achieved good results in investigating and punishing a case, warning a whole area, and governing a region.

Jin Mingchun remembered that in March 2016, when Yang Yiwen was transferred from the Secretary of the Changsha County Party Committee to Acting Mayor of Loudi, he sent two sarcastic text messages to Yang Yiwen. At that time, the central government's anti-corruption efforts were strong and heavy punches were frequently issued.

"Mayor Yang, congratulations on your promotion again. "Jin Mingchun said.

"It may not be a good thing. ” Yang Yiwen replied.

"It's good that you know." Jin Mingchun said.
