the wechat public account "qingfeng beijing" disclosed a case on september 14th:

the baoyuan international project located in nanyuan village, fengtai district, beijing, was supposed to have magnificent high-rise buildings and bustling businesses in the original plan, becoming the pillar engine driving the development of the village. however, the current situation is dilapidated and desolate. the crux of these problems is related to one person, chen jiansheng, the former secretary of the general branch of the nanyuan village, the director of the village committee, and the chairman of the village collective economic organization beijing zhongheng jinyuan investment management company.

what unknown stories are hidden behind the abandonment of the project?

chen jiansheng:how can i not regret it? if i had held on, none of these things would have happened. in summary, i should blame myself.

chen jiansheng was born and raised in nanyuan village. in his early years, he was well-known in the village for his good business in building materials. as a "capable person" with a quick mind, good at making money and worldly experience,chen jiansheng returned to the village in 2006. two years later, he became the manager of the nanyuan village agricultural, industrial and commercial joint company. in the third year, he became the director of the village committee and became a candidate for the next secretary of the nanyuan village party branch.

in 2006, driven by the city's industrial guidance policy, nanyuan village established the "beijing baoyuan science and technology exchange center" project in the name of scientific research and office, with a construction scale of 125,000 square meters, a large-scale collective economic project was about to emerge. at this time, a businessman named xue guogang smelled a business opportunity, and through an introduction, he quickly became acquainted with chen jiansheng.

xue guogang:at the beginning, we just got to know each other first... we didn't start talking about business as soon as we got there. we still got to know each other first. after going there five or six times, we started talking about cooperation.

however, xue guogang, who seemed to be chatting with chen jiansheng, did not actually have the strong ability to undertake projects as he portrayed himself.

deputy head of the eighth comprehensive disciplinary inspection and supervision group of the fengtai district commission for discipline inspection and supervision sing:xue guogang started his business in the auto parts business, which was registered under the name of a beijing auto parts company. although it was called a company, it was actually an individual business model. xue guogang's company was just a shell company.

chen jiansheng:when we were evaluating, we actually compared several companies to see which one gave the most and chose them.

the cooperation model between the two parties is very simple, that is, beijing zhongheng jinyuan investment management company, as the collective economic organization of nanyuan village, provides the project land, and the partner organizes the construction and operation management, and then the partner pays rent to zhongheng jinyuan company every year. in 2006, xue guogang directly quoted an annual rent price that was significantly higher than other potential partners, and immediately paid the first year's rent. just based on the appearance of xue guogang, chen jiansheng, who is the dual identity of the village party organization secretary and zhongheng jinyuan company chairman, did not conduct any detailed background investigation on him and blindly believed in xue guogang's strength.

xue guogang:when we signed the contract, it took less than an hour to write it, and then we invited him to have a meal on the east third ring road.

in 2008, the baoyuan international project was officially started, but the construction was not as smooth as expected. on the one hand, chen jiansheng ignored the nature of the land for education and scientific research, and arbitrarily changed the number of floors and design structure of the building, which buried hidden dangers for the project. on the other hand, xue guogang, who started out with only auto parts business and did not have much experience and strength in real estate project development, soon fell into the dilemma of capital shortage. after chen jiansheng learned about this situation, instead of sobering up, he generously lent the collective funds to xue guogang. behind this was a clear exchange of interests.

staff of the third supervision and inspection office of the discipline inspection commission of fengtai district he wen:in the second half of 2009, chen jiansheng expressed to xue guogang that he wanted to buy a house. xue guogang catered to his request and said that he had a 250-square-meter house and would cover all the renovation costs for the house. after the renovation was completed, chen jiansheng moved in with peace of mind.

with the relationship of power and money, chen jiansheng nodded, and xue guogang easily got the huge amount of funds loaned in the name of the village collective.in chen jiansheng's eyes, the various regulations on the management of the "three assets" in rural areas are meaningless and have no constraints at all.

xue guogang:it was all his fault. he did whatever he said and everything went very smoothly. all his formalities were done later.

faced with the huge capital demand for the project construction, the funds previously raised by xue guogang were just a drop in the bucket. in 2010, zhongheng jinyuan once again lent a sum of money to baoyuan international company, and at the same time paid a considerable amount of project fees on behalf of xue guogang.

in fact, at this time, as the relationship deepened, chen jiansheng had already figured out xue guogang's bottom line. knowing that xue guogang had no investment strength at all, chen jiansheng still did not take any measures to stop losses and seek change. the reason was,it was precisely because of xue guogang's "understanding and obedience" and the huge bribe of 2 million yuan he offered.

xue guogang:you will always see a kind of interest in him, that is, something related to interest. as long as this thing exists, it works great. when it comes to talking with money, you have to understand what you want, so don't chat nonsense.

chen jiansheng:i forgot my bottom line when i didn't hold on to it. don't forget your original intention. this is a temporary thought.

what chen jiansheng called "a momentary thought" was actually his essence of always looking forward. in order to continue to gain benefits from xue guogang, chen jiansheng racked his brains and came up with various tricks.

deputy director of the third supervision and inspection office of the discipline inspection commission of fengtai district song haibin:chen jiansheng had the habit of charging high interest for cash loans. under his suggestion,xue guogang borrowed 10 million yuan from chen jiansheng and his friends in the name of baoyuan international company, and finally paid a high monthly interest rate of 4%, totaling 8 million yuan.

xue guogang:chen jiansheng said that 99 out of 100 sentences are code words, just to the point. if you can understand them, you will stay here. if you can't understand them, you will be eliminated. we are businessmen, not fools.we can just ask the company for some money and give it to him, and then we can do the work happily.

in just over three years, nanyuan village lent money to xue guogang many times and helped him pay for the project. chen jiansheng's "letting money go" made the collective enterprise of nanyuan village become xue guogang's private treasury.in addition to giving chen jiansheng another 2 million yuan in cash, xue guogang squandered most of the funds.the baoyuan international project, which carried the expectations of many villagers, has left behind only a desolate and bleak scene.

sing:in october 2015, xue guogang, at the urging of chen jiansheng, started baoyuan international with great fanfare when only 20% of the merchants had signed contracts. however, it closed down after less than half a year due to poor management. at this time, all the funds lent by nanyuan village zhongheng jinyuan to baoyuan international were completely wasted. although xue guogang kept attracting investment,because the business registration information could not be registered during the acceptance procedures, the tenants who signed the contract began to petition and report the problem. at the same time, due to the long construction period of the baoyuan international project, many creditors sued baoyuan international.

at this point, the baoyuan international project was completely shelved, and the relationship between chen jiansheng and xue guogang also broke down. in addition to the loaned funds, nanyuan village's losses in the project also included interest on accounts receivable, unpaid rent, judicial deductions, tenant clearance fees, employee salaries and other additional burdens. these losses were so different from the five years of rent that nanyuan village received at the beginning of the project. faced with the heavy losses, chen jiansheng was not horrified or regretful.instead, seeing that there was no more money to be made from the baoyuan international project, he turned to the next target and took a bribe of 3 million yuan from the contractor of the nanyuan village shantytown renovation project.he added another crime to his long list of crimes.

in october 2023, chen jiansheng was expelled from the party and removed from public office, and his suspected criminal case was transferred to judicial authorities for handling in accordance with the law.

chen jiansheng:it should be said that i did not stick to my bottom line, which was wrong and i feel guilty about it.

the investigation and handling of corruption behind the baoyuan international project has won the confidence, trust and reliance of the people.

villagers of nanyuan village:the villagers were very optimistic about chen jiansheng, who could lead them to work hard and get rich. however, he failed to complete his projects and acted recklessly. the decision of the commission for discipline inspection was very gratifying.

villagers of nanyuan village:now that the culprit has been caught and the problem is being solved, everyone has new hope for the baoyuan international project.

the chen jiansheng case is by no means an isolated case. the problems in the management of the rural collective "three assets" exposed in it are also shocking. as an important part of rural grassroots governance,the rural collective "three assets" have always been a hot topic of public concern and an area where violations of discipline and law by rural party members and cadres are prone to occur.

deputy secretary of the fengtai district commission for discipline inspection and deputy director of the district supervisory committee zhang tao:wherever the pain points of the people are concerned, the focus of rectifying the work style, strengthening discipline and combating corruption will be there. we will continue to urge and strengthen the construction of the village cadre team, improve grassroots management, promote the standardization and transparency of collective economy, resolutely punish all corruption that harms the interests of the people, strictly investigate corruption and suspected corruption, rotate the incision, and carry out targeted rectification.
