Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, smuggling activities have occurred in the Zhanjiang area from time to time, but they are all small-scale and cannot become a phenomenon. Gang smuggling is a deformed phenomenon that appeared after Chen Tongqing came to power in Zhanjiang.

Chen Tongqing knew that Li Chunqiang was a well-known smuggler in Wushi Town, Leizhou, but when he went to Wushi to inspect his work, he actually became a "guest" in the home of the smuggling leader.

Zhanjiang Huijiang Company and Hong Kong Huijiang Company are private companies used by his son Chen Lisheng to engage in smuggling activities. Chen Tongqing actually instructed Yang Hengqing and other three deputy mayors to issue a letter of guarantee from the Zhanjiang Municipal Government to obtain a loan of HK$40 million from an overseas bank for the company.

, used for smuggling cars, photocopiers, diesel, foreign wine and other activities, with a smuggling amount of HK$144 million.

Chen Tongqing repeatedly greeted Lin, the manager of Zhanjiang Shilian Company, and asked the company to purchase copier parts "imported" by Chen Lisheng Company.

On one occasion, 47 smuggled cars owned by Chen Lisheng were seized by the Suixi Public Security Bureau.

Chen Tongqing called the director of the Zhanjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau several times and asked the Suixi County Party Committee Secretary to come forward and ask the Suixi Public Security Bureau to "take care of it" and "handle it well" and "not to affect Zhanjiang's economic construction and development because of departmental interests."

Investment Environment".

With Chen Tongqing's intervention, these smuggled cars were finally released.

The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

Ye Zhencheng, the former executive deputy mayor in charge of anti-smuggling work, ordered without authorization to lend 10 million yuan from the Price Adjustment Fund and the Grain Risk Fund to his cronies, of which 6 million yuan was used for smuggling.

Former deputy mayor Yang Yanqing paid 2 million yuan in bribes to Zhanjiang Customs Commissioner Cao Xiukang, participated in the smuggling of 20,000 tons of rapeseed and wheat, and evaded more than 54 million yuan in tax payable.

In this smuggling business, he received 400,000 yuan in stolen money.

Zheng Binglin, director of the Municipal Anti-Smuggling Office, personally coordinated the smuggling with the Coast Guard and accepted bribes of NT$60,000 from smuggler Li Yong three times.

Driven by profit, the foreign trade terminal operated by the municipal government actually allocated a special area to Lin Chunhua's smuggling gang for their use in smuggling refined oil.

The proliferation of smuggling in Zhanjiang is closely related to the weakness of the city's law enforcement and supervision departments, and even to collusion between smugglers, both internal and external.

At the end of 1995, not long after Cao Xiukang, the director of Zhanjiang Customs, took office, he was knocked down by sugar-coated bullets and women's sex from the smuggling gang.

All personnel from the Container Section of the Customs and Port Office, the Shunting Office, the Supervision Section of the Shuidong Office and other departments fell down after being paid heavily by smugglers.

There are as many as 132 customs personnel involved in the case, accounting for 19% of the total.

The deterioration of Zhanjiang Customs’ functions has had a knock-on impact on other important law enforcement and regulatory departments such as port affairs and border defense.

The staff of relevant departments have been bribed and corrupted by smugglers, and they are willing to serve the smugglers.

Due to internal and external collusion between law enforcement and supervision department personnel and smugglers, the entire Zhanjiang port supervision was out of control, and the country's gate was opened, creating a black channel through which smugglers and their smuggled goods could freely enter and exit.

As the saying goes: "Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds; if you don't repay them, the time has not come; when the time comes, everything will be repaid." Serious problems in the Zhanjiang area have aroused great indignation among local cadres and the Party Central Committee

Pay close attention.

On September 8, 1998, the central leadership directed that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection take the lead in setting up a leading group and mobilize elite soldiers from relevant units to form a joint working group to investigate and deal with serious problems in Zhanjiang.

With the full support and cooperation of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, the case-handling team launched a thunderous attack, and it took only eight months to basically find out the facts of the extremely large smuggling and bribery case in Zhanjiang. The relevant personnel involved in the case have been strictly punished by party discipline, political discipline and legal discipline.

deal with.

Push aside the dark clouds and see the bright sun.

In Zhanjiang today, the wind is beautiful and the sun is bright, and the sea and sky are vast. On the road to a well-off society, the people of the city are trying to keep up with the pace of the people of the province and making strides forward.
