In the hit drama "Breakout", the male protagonist Qi Ben'an recalled a period of the founding history of the Zhongfu Group, the founder of the Zhongfu Group was named Zhu Changping, in 1935, Zhu Changping and his wife in order to rescue Liu Bicheng, the secretary of the Handong Communist Party of China, sold the Zhu family ancestral house at a low price for five gold bars, entrusted Li George to open up the relationship, Li Daitao stiffened out Of Liu Bicheng, unexpectedly, the final rescue failed, the five gold bars did not go out, Li George thanked Zhu Changping and his wife's loyalty, and returned the five gold bars.
Later, under the instructions of the party, Zhu Changping and his wife took these five gold bars and opened the Fuji Chinese and Western Goods Trading Company in Shanghai, responsible for raising funds and materials for the party, which was the predecessor of the Zhongfu Group.
Zhu Changping, the founder of Zhongfu Group, has a prototype in history, he is Qin Bangli, the founder of China Resources Group, pseudonym Yang Lian'an and Yang Lin. The slight difference is that Zhongfu Group was founded in Shanghai, while China Resources Group was founded in Hong Kong.
Qin Bangli is a native of Wuxi, it is said that the ancestors were once a local noble family, it is worth mentioning that Qin Bangli's brother is Bogu, in 1930, Bogu returned from the Soviet Union, Chen Yun talked to him about the organization of the Shanghai shop as a cover for the contact station is still in urgent need of manpower, Bogu recommended his brother Qin Bangli.
Although Qin Bangli was not a party member at this time, he was a progressive person, and in his early years he participated in the Wuxi workers' movement led by our party, and what is even more rare is that Qin Bangli began to work as an apprentice in Qianzhuang as early as the age of 13, and also worked as a clerk in a shop for a period of time, which can be said to be very suitable for this job.
In order to cover his identity, Qin Bangli began to engage in underground work as a businessman, and soon joined our party under the introduction of Yan Pu, and in 1935, he was sent to the Soviet Union to study, and did not return to China until 37 years.
In 1938, he entered the Wuhan office of the Eighth Route Army, and was soon sent by Qian Zhiguang to Hong Kong to establish a secret organization, Qin Bangli came to Hong Kong with the funds provided by the organization and founded a business named "Lianhe Bank", which was the predecessor of China Resources Group.
At that time, due to insufficient funds, the scale of the United Bank was actually very small, and at the beginning of its establishment, it was ostensibly operating local specialties from Hong Kong and Guangdong, but in fact it was to organize secret procurement of urgently needed items in the base area, such as medicines and radio stations. In addition, it is also responsible for the reception and transfer of some donated materials from overseas Chinese.
Especially at the end of 38, after the Yuehua Tea Company was sealed, the reception and transfer of donated materials basically fell to Qin Bangli alone, in order to share his work pressure, Mr. Liao Zhongkai's wife, Ms. He Xiangning, specially introduced Huang Meixian as his right-hand man, in addition, the organization also sent him zhang alone to be responsible for accounting work, and the original "Lianhe Bank" was only these 3 people.
Then, under the instructions of the organization, Qin Bangli successively founded 5 businesses in Hong Kong, the business is getting better and better, and he has also made a large number of contacts as an overseas Chinese businessman, which has greatly facilitated the purchase of medicines in the base area and the exchange of patriotic overseas Chinese donations to our party into legal tender.
In 1941, after the fall of Hong Kong, Qin Bangli, under the arrangement of the organization, opened a shop in South China and was responsible for purchasing the materials needed for Yan'an.
As the business gradually grew, the United Export Company also moved out of the original small loft and rented a hall of more than 100 square meters. The company also developed from the original Qin Bangli couple to more than 20 people, Qin Bangli took the initiative to change the company name from "Lianhe Company" to "China Resources Company", "Hua" represents China, "Run" is taken from Chairman Mao's word, meaning that the company is directly led by the central government, this proposal has been unanimously approved by all members of the company.
Soon, Qin Bangli reported the matter to the secretary of the Hong Kong Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, and after obtaining approval, on December 18, 1948, China Resources Company was officially listed. In addition to buying and selling supplies, China Resources Company also undertook the task of escorting democrats north.
At that time, there were many democrats in Hong Kong, such as Li Jishen, Shen Junru, Guo Moruo, and so on, how to secretly escort these democrats north to attend the Political Consultative Conference, and after much consideration, Premier Zhou decided to use the sea shipping channel opened by the China Trade Corporation and the China Resources Company to secretly escort the democrats.
From August 1948 to March 1949, Qin Bangli used the open sea shipping channel to secretly escort more than 300 democrats north, successfully completed the escort task With the victory of our army, China Resources Company also achieved tremendous development. At that time, the coast was not yet fully liberated, and foreign freighters were relatively safe. With its own cargo ship, China Resources Company soon established Huaxia Shipping Company under its name, which further facilitated the import and export business of China Resources Company. In 1947, according to the instructions of the organization, in order to open the sea passage from the Liberated Areas to Hong Kong, Qin Bangli came to Hong Kong again under the pseudonym "Yang Lin", and opened a company called "Lianhe Import Company" on the second floor of the trading bank building on Des Voeux Road in Hong Kong, and re-established a foreign trade base. At this time, Qin Bangli and Huang Meixian had worked together for many years, and the two gradually developed feelings of affection, and had already married with the consent of the organization. At the beginning of its establishment, this company was only Qin Bangli and his wife, due to the limited organizational funds, the entire company's office space was only a seven-to-eight flat attic.
At the beginning, the company's operation once needed to rely on the bungalow rental left by Huang Meixian's father to Huang Meixian, and then Qin Bangli gradually started to do business with the contacts accumulated in Hong Kong earlier, and soon, the organization sent two powerful assistants to Qin Bangli. At that time, the main business of lianhe import company was to sell goods shipped from the liberated areas to purchase military supplies, and at that time, there was only one port in the liberated areas, Dalian port, which led to overseas.
In this way, Qin Bangli sold the soybeans and Chinese medicinal materials transported from the Northeast Liberated Area, and then purchased the medicines and vacuum tubes that our army urgently needed and then transported them to the Liberated Areas. Initially, the ships responsible for shipping were Soviet freighters chartered from the North Korean-Soviet Steamship Company.
In 1952, after consultation, the central government decided to transfer China Resources Company to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and Qin Bangli was also transferred to Beijing to serve as the director of the Planning Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. In 1983, Hua
