Liu Zongchao, Liu Zongchao

The former president of Chongqing Guoguang Group was once one of the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs in Chongqing. In 2004, he was imprisoned for illegal fund-raising. After he got out of prison, he made a living by collecting garbage. The reporter inquired from the Shapingba District Administration for Industry and Commerce that by 1986, Chongqing Chinese Medicine Factory had fixed assets of 2.9 million yuan. One year later, the fixed assets reached 6.09 million yuan, with an annual output value of 20130,000 yuan, ranking second in Sichuan Province in various economic indicators.

Not only actively advocated reform, but also the living problems of some workers in the factory were properly handled by Liu Zongchao. For example, the new college students are not used to life, so he arranges the members of the factory leadership team to pair up and lead the students to play at home; He pioneered the "Sixth Five-Year Plan" work system in China, that is, employees have two days off every week and work six hours a day; Workers implement the system of winter and summer vacations and organize public travel. There are reports about Guoguang Group almost every day. On a building in Jie Fangbei, stands a big billboard of Guoguang: Set up a factory in the United States. After the establishment of Guoguang Group, three large-scale dragon boat races were held in Ciqikou, with an audience of over 65,438+10,000 each time. Hold a large-scale performance of "Spring of Guoguang" in the auditorium; Liu Zongchao became the honorary president of the school by rewarding the top scholar of Hunan College Entrance Examination with 6,543,800 yuan and setting up a scholarship with 6,543,800 yuan in Guang 'an No.1 Middle School.

At that time, Guoguang Group included 38 member enterprises, spanning the primary, secondary and tertiary industries 17 industries. Its Chongqing Chinese Medicine Factory has more than 200 kinds of products, with an annual profit of tens of millions of yuan. Trucks waiting to buy medicine line up every day. The most in demand are Tianwang Musk Pain Relief Ointment and Dahuoluo Pills, and other medicines are bought in boxes of 100, which is still in short supply.

Yang Zong said that the most prosperous period of Guoguang Group was from 1984 to 1994. 1992, Guoguang Group was rated as one of the top ten outstanding enterprises in Chongqing, and Liu Zongchao became one of the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs in Chongqing. At that time, the group spent 100 million yuan on land acquisition in Jiangbei to build the largest Chinese medicine production base in China. At that time, people who wanted to work in the factory lined up to intercede, including university teachers, bank employees and civil servants. Facing the reminder, Liu Zongchao turned a deaf ear and expanded blindly, which eventually led to the break of the capital chain.

At the same time of prosperity, some employees of Guoguang Group also saw the poor development momentum. The 12 branch factory headed by Liu Zongchao first aroused the employees' vigilance.

Yang Zongshame said that this 12 branch factory is only nominal, and its development has nothing to do with the general factory. When the branch factory sees which product sells well, it needs the technical and financial support of the general factory for free. As long as others praise or have suggestions from individual leaders, Liu Zongchao often invests blindly without thinking, ignoring that the branch factory has not brought substantial benefits to the group.

The reporter found a speech by Liu Zongchao in a booklet published by Sichuan Guang 'an No.1 Middle School, entitled "I want to be the president of a private group". The speech said that the operating mechanism of state-owned enterprises has many disadvantages. Liu Zongchao decided to collect millions of partners at home and abroad, buy Guoguang Group, make him the president, and make Guoguang a world consortium. The staff of Guoguang Group introduced that at that time, some people in the society sold Liu Zongchao's personal portrait photos, and each 8 yuan, the seller got a commission from 4 yuan. The photo named "Friends of Guoguang" is a fund-raising certificate issued by Liu Zongchao to the partners. According to a person in charge of Guoguang Group at that time, 400,000 photos were printed and basically sold.

199 1 year, Liu Zongchao went to the United States alone. After coming back, he claimed to have set up three branches in the United States and bought two buildings on Wall Street, thus creating the "China Center" and "China Overseas Academy of Sciences". Later, in addition to advertising in Jie Fangbei Square, he also gave a speech in a TV station, saying that he would "go to the United States and be a handsome boss in China".

But no one in the factory knows about American companies. Aska Yang said that only once, a foreigner came and had a long talk with Liu Zongchao behind closed doors. After coming out, Liu Zongchao said that he talked with foreigners about cooperation, saying that foreigners had no money to return to China and asked the factory to pay for it. When the financial staff in the factory went to pay, they found that the foreigner lived in a humble hotel in the tomb of the martyrs. Unlike investors, he became suspicious and eventually refused to give money.

Zhang, a former secretary, said that he was very superstitious in his later years. The fortune teller once said that his office was facing the wrong direction, and he immediately made great efforts to correct it. Yang Zongchao said with shame that he could not stop Liu Zongchao's madness. He also participated in several card table fights. Liu Zongchao simply led a group of salespeople to rent a building in Chaotianmen, and it was hard to see him in the factory.

1994 or so, the capital chain of Guoguang Group was broken. Liu Zongchao first asked for internal fund-raising and then raised funds from the society. "At that time, Guoguang Factory was very famous and it was rumored to be listed. The annual interest rate of fund-raising is as high as 20%, and the fund-raisers are stuffed with cash. " Yang Zongshame recalled that a year later, the news of Guoguang Group's loss was revealed, and citizens who participated in fund-raising petitioned, and Liu Zongchao disappeared. 1March, 1996, was brought back from Beijing by the police. Subsequently, Liu Zongchao was sentenced to four years' imprisonment by the court for dereliction of duty, and Guoguang Group Chongqing Chinese Medicine Factory went bankrupt. Yang Zongshame has been reviewing. What caused Guoguang's bankruptcy and the president's madness?

"Although Liu Zongchao was sentenced, it was not corruption and bribery, but it was too conspicuous." In the interview, most employees of the former Guoguang Group thought so. Most of the donations were enthusiastic. Liu Zongchao's parents died and he had no children. Before the sentence, he was expelled from the party and the factory, and his wife and brother died. Now he is lonely and crazy.

Similarly, Guoguang's bankruptcy and Liu Zongchao's experience have also become the cornerstone of Yang Zongchao's shame. Drug producers and operators are called "long live the industry". Why do they keep begging with golden rice bowls? Yang Zongze said that the failure of Guoguang still has a strong warning effect on today's enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises. He believes that blind development leads to out of control, which is the most fundamental reason for the failure of enterprises. Yang Zongshame said that at that time, Guoguang not only set up 12 branch factory, but also set up business departments in cities all over the country. Everyone reached out to the group for money, gave unconditional free support, and dragged down the General Factory of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Secondly, the factory director is responsible for conniving at Liu Zongchao. Yang Zongshame said that at that time, the group gave the impression that the situation was gratifying. Although the development has shown signs of derailment, it has not been effectively supervised and restrained by relevant departments. However, Liu Zongchao just doesn't listen to the opinions of the Party Committee and employees. How can he be unbeaten?
