This sentence was vividly expressed in Chen Kai, the former richest man in Fuzhou. He can do whatever it takes for money, and he doesn't shy away from it, but he seems to forget that the ancients also said that "a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely."

Ill-gotten gains will be paid back sooner or later. Chen Kai went further and further on the road of accumulating wealth, and finally went to extinction.

Chen Kai was born in 1962 and studied in Fuzhou No.8 Middle School, a famous school in Fuzhou.

It stands to reason that Chen Kai should study hard in such a prestigious school where everyone wants to go to school.

Chen Kai, a teenager, suddenly dropped out of school on the grounds that his studies delayed him from making money.

After dropping out of school, Chen Kai has been crawling around the society. Since 1985, Chen Kai has been doing clothing wholesale business. Because of his diligence, he also made some money in the clothing business. Chen Kai felt that it was a small fight.

When he was thinking about how to expand his business, a friend told him that the clothing industry was going downhill and depressed, and he should change careers as soon as possible.

Chen Kai felt that the clothing business could not make much money, so he listened to his friend's advice and quietly looked for opportunities to change careers.

The opportunity will come soon.

Around 199 1 year, something called a gambling machine quietly became popular in the market.

Chen Kai is good at finding business opportunities and thinks it is a good opportunity. Now he has the idea of opening a casino.

However, it is necessary to apply for a license to open such a place, and the application for a license must be at least100,000 yuan.

While Chen Kai was struggling to raise money, he met a well-known official second generation by chance. Chen Kai quickly became one with the official second generation. With the help of this official second generation, he successfully got a license and even got a bank loan.

Chen Kai is a man who is good at seizing opportunities. He quickly seized this opportunity and bought a piece of land in the central area of Fuzhou at 1992 through the contacts of the second generation of officials, and opened an entertainment city on it.

If it's an ordinary casino, forget it. Chen Kai's entertainment city has everything, ignoring the law. As long as there are profitable entertainment items in his casino, he even does illegal business.

In this way, in just three years, Chen Kai has accumulated 20 million wealth.

When the casino business was booming, Chen Kai turned his attention to real estate.

From 1998, Chen Kai began to build high-grade buildings. With the outbreak of the real estate industry, his business is getting bigger and bigger, and his contacts are getting more and more.

Chen Kai has been working hard in society since he was a teenager. He is smooth, generous and has a good way of treating people, and soon attracted some rich and powerful people to make friends with him.

Legend has it that he only used Maotai for more than 30 years to invite people to dinner. In the long run, Chen Kai reached some kind of agreement with some officials. Chen Kai gave officials wealth and officials gave him privileges. With collusion between government and business, business naturally grows bigger and bigger.

Chen Kai's ostentation and extravagance is getting bigger and bigger, and even in order to prevent someone from being jealous of his wealth and plotting against him, he must take a bodyguard when he goes out.

Chen Kai's high-profile style quickly attracted the attention of relevant departments.

In July, 2003, the investigators of discipline inspection found that Chen Kai was involved in 9 1 national public officials, and the amount involved was as high as 9 1. It was also found that after Chen Kai set up a company in 1 996, he began to pay bribes to national public officials, involving a large number of people and a huge amount of property.

In addition, the investigators also found that Chen Kai tried his best to attract social workers with criminal records to work for him, and there were many illegal transactions in his entertainment city, which were of bad nature and had a very bad social impact.

Finally, in June 5438 +2005 10, Chen Kai was sentenced to death for several crimes.

I wonder if Chen Kai regretted what he had done before his death. When he got his first fortune, his ambition grew bigger and bigger, and he did not converge at all, dragging himself into the abyss of death step by step.

The officials who colluded with him did not escape the punishment of the law.

To be a good person, the right path in the world is vicissitudes.
