Liu Jixiong, han ethnicity, born in March 1958, began his career in August 1980, and joined the Communist Party of China in March 1983. He once served as the former deputy mayor of Changsha City, Hunan Province, the deputy mayor of Yuhua District of Changsha City, the deputy secretary of the Yuelu District Committee of Changsha City, the secretary and director of the Party Group of Changsha Tourism Bureau, the member of the Party Working Committee and deputy director of the Management Committee of Changsha Dahexi Pilot District, and the secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of the Board of Directors of Changsha Pilot Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd. He retired in May 2019.

In April 2021, Liu Jixiong was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and was subject to disciplinary review and supervision and investigation by the Changsha Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. In October of the same year, Liu Jixiong was expelled from the party, his retirement benefits were revoked, and his suspected crimes were transferred to the procuratorate for examination and prosecution according to law.

At the beginning of the work, a 20 yuan shopping voucher had to be refunded; as the group grew, it wanted to get a piece of the pie

"I volunteered to go to the frontline of the grassroots and to the hardship areas." In July 1980, Liu Jixiong graduated from university, and he took the initiative to apply to the school to work at the grassroots level. After that, he was assigned to Datuo Township, a former suburb of Changsha City, and became an agricultural technical cadre.

After joining the work, Liu Jixiong actively moved closer to the party organization and applied to join the Communist Party of China. He wrote in his volunteer letter for joining the party: "I will strictly demand myself according to the standards of party members, do not pay attention to conditions, do not seek selfish interests, and work for the party and the people wholeheartedly." ”

At the beginning of joining the party, Liu Jixiong was strict with himself and could consciously resist temptation. Once, Liu Jixiong accompanied the leader to the countryside to participate in the ribbon-cutting activity of a shopping mall opening, and received a 20 yuan shopping coupon, which he immediately returned to the activity party.

Due to his dedication and outstanding ability, Liu Jixiong has been reused by the organization for many times, and has successively served as the deputy mayor of the former suburbs of Changsha, the deputy secretary of the Yuelu District Party Committee, the director of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, and has also received a series of honors. Along the way, Liu Jixiong can be described as smooth sailing and spirited.

In July 2008, Changsha's state-owned enterprise Pilot Investment Holding Group was formally established, and Liu Jixiong served as the chairman of the company, which was a turning point in his life. During his tenure, Pilot Investment Holding Group has participated in the development of Binjiang, Yanghu and other areas, and promoted the infrastructure construction of Changsha.

"Something has been done, and something has happened to me." Liu Jixiong said, "After working in the Pilot Investment Holding Group, I relaxed the cultivation of party spirit, unconsciously got into a bad atmosphere, the bottom line defense line was not defended, and eventually destroyed everything." ”

According to the case-handling personnel, as a "government-led, market-oriented operation" enterprise, the pilot investment holding group is rich in resources, funds are intensive, and projects are gathered, Liu Jixiong has more funds and projects in his hands, and there are more and more business owners who are looking for him to help with projects and projects. For a time, he became a local "hot" figure.

With the development and growth of the group, Liu Jixiong's mentality has also changed, "Watching the bosses who have been around him all day to get rich one by one, my heart began to be unbalanced, my outlook on life values was distorted, and I had the wrong idea that 'I should also get a piece of it'." Once the ideal and belief were shaken, the ideological defense line was bound to be lost, and after that, Liu Jixiong was defeated in the face of all kinds of temptations, and gradually transformed into a "two-faced person."

On stage, he always flaunted himself as "loyal to the party, upright and honest," and repeatedly stated in public that "I will definitely take the lead in abiding by party discipline and state law, and be a good example of honesty and honesty in government." Offstage, he violated discipline and the law, engaged in corruption, and lived in extreme luxury, owning several luxury cars, many mansions, and countless luxury goods. He claimed that he never directly intervened in the construction of key projects and major investment matters, nor did he greet and intercede, but behind his back, he engaged in power rent-seeking, accepted the entrustment of more than 10 private business owners, and accepted huge amounts of money, especially in the years near his retirement, he was even more greedy, unscrupulous, and even accepted bribes of tens of millions of yuan at a time.

"Things must rot first, and then worms will grow." From a party member who worked hard in his youth and won many honors to a "two-faced person" who "advocated honesty in a high profile and accepted bribes on a large scale," the fundamental reason for Liu Jixiong's degeneration and corruption lies in his relaxation of party spirit cultivation, evading self-transformation, ideological decline, lack of "calcium" in his spirit, and after suffering from "hypochondriasis," he quickly became a prisoner of greed and became a tumor that must be eliminated in the body of the party.

The state-owned enterprises were turned into "family private enterprises", and 19 relatives and friends were successively arranged to enter the group and its subsidiaries to hold important positions

"Pilot Investment Holding Group can't do without me." After making certain achievements, Liu Jixiong, whose ideals and convictions were not strong, became increasingly inflated; he called himself the "founder" of the group, put the individual above the organization, threw political discipline and political rules outside the cloud of nine clouds, and "ruled by land" and "set another set" in the group, made arbitrary decisions, engaged in "one word hall", and became "a hegemon".

According to the case-handling personnel, during his tenure as secretary of the party committee and chairman of the board of directors of the Pilot Investment Holding Group, Liu Jixiong ignored the political requirements of "adhering to the party's leadership over state-owned enterprises", acted arbitrarily and arbitrarily, regarded the principle of democratic centralism as "a blank piece of paper", the collective decision-making system was useless, and even for a long time, the group did not even have a special party committee meeting record book, the group did not even have a special party committee meeting record book, the group did not go to the party committee to study a total of more than 2 billion yuan of funds borrowed from abroad, and some major matters were not even convened by the board of directors. It is decided directly by Liu Jixiong's personal decision.

In 2016, without convening the party committee and the board of directors, Liu Jixiong violated the regulations and personally signed and agreed that a company would return the entrusted loan of the pilot investment holding group in advance without counting the remaining loan interest of 15 million yuan, resulting in major losses of state-owned assets. Behind Liu Jixiong's "gratuitous generosity" is driven by interests. Afterwards, Liu Jixiong accepted a bribe of 9.8 million yuan from the company's boss.

Liu Jixiong regarded the Pilot Investment Holding Group as a "reserved place", did not implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee on resolutely rectifying the "four winds", ordered that it did not work, prohibited it, blatantly violated the spirit of the eight provisions of the Central Committee, and followed the internal regulations of the group formulated before the Eighteenth National Congress of the Party. "There is no limit to the travel expenses of Liu Jixiong and other corporate executives, and they often receive subsidies under the name of 'overnight travel subsidy'." The case officer said.

In 2017, the pilot investment holding group moved to a new office building, Liu Jixiong decided to spend nearly 2 million yuan without discussion at the meeting, and his subsidiary invited well-known painters to paint 126 paintings for decorating the offices of senior executives of the enterprise.

In order to absolutely control the project bidding power of the group and its subsidiaries, Liu Jixiong arranged for his "confidants" to be responsible for the bidding business of the entire enterprise, which was convenient for its behind-the-scenes control. In addition, without collective research, he has arranged 19 relatives and friends to enter the group and its subsidiaries to hold important positions, and has repeatedly used his influence to contract projects for his relatives to seek benefits, turning state-owned enterprises into "family private enterprises".

The leading cadres of state-owned enterprises should have taken it as their duty to promote state-owned capital to become stronger, better, and bigger, and to create more wealth for the country and society. However, Liu Jixiong's original intention was gradually lost, the political bottom line was lost, the concept of power was distorted, he betrayed the duty of preserving and increasing the value of state-owned assets, and he acted arbitrarily and unscrupulously, and eventually went to the opposite side of the party and the people.

The amount of money received in red envelopes exceeded 10 million, the income from illegal investment exceeded 10 million, the amount of bribes accepted exceeded 10 million, and the fruits of crime exceeded 10 million

"When I get older, I feel that my career has reached the 'ceiling', and I have gradually developed the psychology of 'right not to use, expired and invalid'." Liu Jixiong said, "After retirement, I also want to live, and I feel that I am in the position of chairman of a state-owned enterprise, and I will lose money without making more money." Under the domination of erroneous ideas, Liu Jixiong opened the door of greed, and since then he has been out of control.

Liu Jixiong is well versed in the "rules" of making money with power and watching money, and as the "number one" of the pilot investment holding group, his first thought is "hitchhiking and investment". In November 2009, Pilot Investment Holding Group acquired 13 million shares of a company at a price of 3 yuan per share and fully supported its listing. In order to express gratitude, the company's legal representative transferred 200,000 shares of the company's original shares to Liu Jixiong at a low price. In November 2010, the company went public, and Liu Jixiong made a profit of 4.54 million yuan.

After tasting the sweetness, Liu Jixiong began to use the group's investment information to invest in related enterprises. "He invests a lot and invests a lot. Until the occurrence of the case, it adopted the form of 'hitchhiking and investment', and successively invested a total of 20 million yuan in more than 10 affiliated enterprises of the pilot investment holding group, and illegally profited more than 14 million yuan. The case-handling staff said.

On the one hand, it is more comfortable manipulating power in the capital market, and on the other hand, when retirement is getting closer, Liu Jixiong's inner game of "power and money" has become more and more intense. After that, he became even more bold, using the power in his hands as a "private weapon" for profit, and changed from being "hunted" to taking the initiative to "attack", and deliberately making money in a big way.

In 2011, after winning two affordable housing construction projects for a company in succession, Liu Jixiong demanded 1 million Australian dollars, equivalent to more than 6.6 million yuan, from the boss of the company "in the name of borrowing" on the grounds that his son did not have enough funds to buy a house in Australia. From 2014 to 2019, Liu Jixiong accepted the entrustment of Gao Mou, the project manager of a construction engineering company, and used the convenience of his position to greet him at the project bidding, helped him contract 5 engineering projects, and accepted more than 17.7 million yuan in property sent by Gao. Among them, in June 2015, Liu Jixiong accepted a one-time 15 million yuan from Gao, which was also the largest bribe he accepted.

It is understood that during the ten years of his tenure in the Pilot Investment Holding Group, Liu Jixiong took advantage of his position to seek benefits for a number of bosses in project contracting, financing loans, recruitment, bond issuance, etc., and accepted a total of more than 40 million yuan in property.

"Liu Jixiong is the highest-ranking leading cadre of state-owned enterprises who have violated discipline and the law since the reform of the supervision system in Changsha City, the most problems of violating discipline, and the largest amount of violations of the law. According to the case-handling personnel, the case set a number of records, that is, the amount of money received in red envelopes exceeded 10 million, the income from illegal investment exceeded 10 million, the amount of bribes accepted exceeded 10 million, and the criminal fruits exceeded 10 million. Up to now, Liu Jixiong's entire case has recovered more than 100 million yuan of stolen money and stolen goods.

If you become an official, you should not get rich, and if you get rich, you should not become an official. Unscrupulous corruption inevitably results in self-destruction. Liu Jixiong, who was blinded by money, has long lost the will and ability to self-discipline and self-control, and has "run wildly" on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes, becoming a wild horse that has lost its reins. He confessed: "I was bold and my heart was numb, and I frantically collected money and accumulated wealth, turned the power given to me by the organization into a tool for making money, and became a 'prisoner of the order', and I deserved it." ”

Investing in the name of different relatives and friends, hiding behind the scenes to "play with the rules", in order to resist the censorship and investigation, he has repeatedly colluded with others and let his family transfer property

Loyalty and honesty to the party are the basic requirements of the party constitution for party members, and they are also the basic obligations of party members. Liu Jixiong, on the other hand, is a "negative example" of disloyalty and dishonesty to the party. He knew that his corrupt practices, if exposed, would ruin his political life. Driven by the psychology of luck, he tried every means to "cover the lid" in an attempt to hide the sky and cross the sea.

Liu Jixiong's criminal means are hidden, he and his wife Deng Mou borrowed the identity of more than 10 relatives such as cousins, cousins, wives and cousins to handle bank accounts to deposit funds, and then purchased real estate in the name of different relatives and friends, invested in enterprise projects, held shares on behalf of others, etc. He hid behind the scenes to "play with the rules" and exploit the loopholes of discipline and rules, so as to evade the supervision of the organization and resist the review and investigation.

From 2013 to 2014, Liu Jixiong twice sold his personal real estate to private business owners Wu and Gao at a significantly higher than market price, and "packaged" the bribes into legal real estate transactions, illegally profiting more than 1.5 million yuan. According to the case-handling personnel, Liu Jixiong's fake purchase of stocks, fake loans, and fake house sales are really bribes and real corruption.

The organization has tried to save Liu Jixiong many times, and since March 2019, the discipline inspection and supervision organs have talked to him three times and given him the opportunity to take the initiative to explain the problem. Liu Jixiong not only avoided talking about it, but also tried to find out the inside story. In order to resist the organization's review and investigation, he repeatedly found bribe-givers to collude and seal their confessions, disguised the bribes as "loans" and "partnership investment funds", and staged the drama of making up fake IOUs and fake agreements.

"In order to resist the organization's censorship and investigation, Liu Jixiong dragged most of his relatives into the water." The case-handling personnel said that his wife became a "greedy internal helper" who helped to accept property and transfer property, his son helped reinvest the bribe money, his niece helped transfer and hide valuables, his wife and brother jointly accepted bribes, and his wife and cousin helped him conceal his property... It can be said that "one person is corrupt, and the whole family is involved".

However, under the strict and meticulous investigation of the discipline inspection and supervision organs, in the face of ironclad evidence, Liu Jixiong's clever tricks were nothing more than covering his ears and stealing bells. In the end, the ill-gotten gains he painstakingly seized became ironclad evidence that he was sent to prison.

"Whoever sows its cause will eat its effect." Liu Jixiong has lost his ideals and convictions, betrayed his original mission, lost the bottom line of discipline and law, destroyed public morality and private morality, wantonly trampled on party discipline and state law, had no fear in his heart, and acted endlessly, and in the end what awaited him was bound to be severely punished by the law.
