The final episode of the anti-corruption TV film "Zero Tolerance" was broadcast, and Zhou Jiangyong, former member of the Standing Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and former secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee, appeared on camera.
Unlike most of the other "fallen" senior officials in the film who have been reviewed and investigated by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, Zhou Jiangyong was investigated on August 21, 2021, and the review and investigation has not yet been completed. What exactly he committed, there is no official tone.
According to some media combing, Zhou Jiangyong's "fall from power" has created a number of "historical records": he is the first municipal party secretary in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, since the reform and opening up, and the first "tiger" in Zhejiang after the 19th National Congress, and he is also the first provincial capital city to be investigated in 2021.
"I reflect on myself, ideals and convictions cannot be shaken, and the original intention cannot be forgotten, and this requires the alarm bell to ring for a long time, which is the lesson of my blood." Zhou Jiangyong said.
The whistleblower letter flew like snowflakes
Last year, Zhou Jiangyong was investigated, and the incident occurred suddenly.
On the day he was investigated, the hangzhou daily just published news related to him on the front page, which said that on the afternoon of the previous day (August 20, 2021), he presided over the first (expanded) meeting of the Hangzhou Carbon Peak Carbon Neutrality Work Leading Group and delivered a speech at the meeting.
In addition, the official website of the Hangzhou Municipal Government shows that in early and mid-August, Zhou Jiangyong also had a full trip. From August 17 to 19, he accompanied the Zhejiang Provincial Delegation to Xinjiang for study and inspection. During this period, he visited and comforted the cadres and talents of Hangzhou City who aided Xinjiang and the representatives of Hangzhou enterprises who invested in Aksu.
But some media wrote: Zhou Jiangyong's "fall" was not sudden.
According to insiders of the Ningbo Rural Commercial Bank, Zhou Jiangyong's wife is the deputy secretary of the party committee and the chairman of the supervisory board of the local rural commercial bank in Ningbo. "There is a hanging post, usually rarely come, and make tens of millions of yuan in profits every year." This has led to the indignation of the bank's internal employees, who have been jointly reporting for a long time. In mid-October 2020, the Fourth Inspection Group of the Central Committee entered Zhejiang, and they reported it again under their real names. ”
"The whistleblower letter is like a snowflake."
Zhou Jiangyong's younger brother Zhou Jianyong is an associate professor at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, but for more than a decade, "associate professor" has not been regularized, which has changed his heart. He is no longer satisfied with the Lide tree, and he envies the life of successful people in the business world. In 2006, Zhou Jianyong started a chemical company part-time, starting in Xiangshan County, Ningbo City, where Zhou Jiangyong was then the leader, for reasons that are self-evident.
· Zhou Jiangyong's younger brother Zhou Jianyong
Zhou Jiangyong had power in his hands, and many enterprises came to him, and he introduced Zhou Jianyong to a company to cooperate. Zhou Jianyong said, "It's because I took that line, and then slowly... This is the bane. ”
The first bucket of gold seized by the brothers Zhou Jiangyong and Zhou Jianyong was based on the trading of power and money.
This private enterprise under the instruction of Zhou Jiangyong, and Zhou Jianyong "cooperation" to open Ningbo Xiangrun Petrochemical Technology Co., Ltd., the so-called "cooperation" is actually just a cover, soon Xiangrun Petrochemical Company became Zhou Jianyong independent contract, but still for a long time free use of the private enterprise's land, plant and equipment.
Over the years, this private enterprise has transferred more than seven million yuan in benefits to the Zhou Jiangyong brothers by waiving lease royalties. Correspondingly, Zhou Jiangyong used his authority to help the company in obtaining land.
Zhou Jianyong, who has no capital foundation, technical advantages and business skills, has no fear and believes that he can rely on his brother to become bigger and stronger. In April 2008, he then opened a second enterprise in the name of "cooperation" with fellow villager Zhou Wenyong and others: Yongrun Petrochemical Technology Co., Ltd. (renamed Ningbo Yongrun Industry and Trade Technology Co., Ltd. in 2020), Zhou Jianyong accounted for 40% of the shares, in fact, he should pay a total of more than 14 million yuan in registered capital and capital increase, all of which zhou Wenyong paid on his behalf.
· Zhou Wenyong
The reason why these bosses are willing to pay huge sums of money to "cooperate" with Zhou Jianyong is also to climb the patron of Zhou Jiangyong.
Zhou Wenyong understood that if he could hook up with Zhou Jianyong, in case something happened in the future, Zhou Jiangyong would also help, so he agreed to all of Zhou Jianyong's requests.
At the same time, Zhou Jiangyong did spare no effort to act as a patron for his brother's affiliated enterprises. He not only provided assistance in business operations, but even intervened in the judiciary to help Yongrun Company evade criminal penalties in environmental pollution cases.
In 2014, in order to save costs, Yongrun Company illegally handed over the waste residue after refining oil to unqualified enterprises for "treatment", which was actually transported to Shandong and dumped in farmland. Shandong police formally filed a case, traced back to the source to find the Yongrun Company, Zhou Jiangyong in order to let his brother's company get light treatment, so he used the influence of his position, snatched the jurisdiction of the case, let the local police in Ningbo file a case for investigation, hoping not to take criminal measures, in the form of administrative fines and so on, and finally be able to make it a big deal small and end it as soon as possible.
Dig out the mind to set up the "firewall"
Zhou Jianyong threw himself into the business sea, giving various merchants the opportunity to use him to hunt Zhou Jiangyong. Shi Shihong, the owner of a construction company, is one of them.
At that time, Zhou Jiangyong had just been transferred to Zhoushan as mayor, young and promising, Shi Shihong wanted to solve some engineering problems through him, and in the future, when Zhou Jiangyong did a "bigger job", he could also help himself contract some engineering projects.
· Shi Shi hong
To this end, Shi Shihong took the initiative to find a relationship to get acquainted with Zhou Jianyong, hoping to help him contract the project through Zhou Jiangyong, and then Zhou Jiangyong and Zhou Jianyong brothers jointly accepted huge bribes and then invested in the family business as capital.
From 2013 to 2017, Zhou Jiangyong successively provided assistance to Shi Shihong in a number of projects involving Zhoushan and Wenzhou, in accordance with the request conveyed by Zhou Jianyong, and Zhou Jianyong accepted money from Shi Shihong eight times in the name of "borrowing", with a total amount of more than 90 million yuan.
Zhou Jianyong knew very well in his heart that Shi Shihong had "lent" himself more than 90 million yuan, and he had never let himself pay it back, and he himself had never thought of repaying it.
After the 18th Party Congress, Zhou Jiangyong became the secretary of the Zhoushan Municipal Party Committee, but he thought he could evade supervision by setting up a "firewall."
In the process of accepting bribes from Shi Shihong, Zhou Jiangyong himself and Shi Shihong never contacted each other, and they used Zhou Jianyong as a bridge. Shi Shihong's company did not directly take the project, but first found some large central enterprises and state-owned enterprises with Zhou Jianyong, promised to help them find Zhou Jiangyong to take the project, and handed over part of the project to Shi Shihong's company after the matter was completed. Zhou Jiangyong took projects for some large central enterprises and state-owned enterprises, which also seemed to be justified.
In February 2017, Zhou Jiangyong was transferred to the secretary of the Wenzhou Municipal Party Committee. At that time, Zhou Jianyong saw the rapid development of the digital economy, and jointly established Youcheng United Information Technology Development Co., Ltd. in Ningbo, declaring that it was a high-tech company focusing on "subway Internet +", but in fact, the core resource was the power of his brother Zhou Jiangyong.
Zhou Jianyong admitted: "It's a matter of resources, and technology is not so difficult. Mobile payment outside to buy vegetables are already available. In 2018, Zhou Jianyong greeted his brother, and Youcheng jointly obtained part of the project of the Wenzhou Metro mobile payment system.
In 2019, Zhou Jiangyong was transferred to the secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee. In November 2019, As a major shareholder, Youcheng United Company invested in the establishment of Hangzhou Railway Youcheng Technology Co., Ltd., intending to further expand its business in Hangzhou.
In this process, Zhou Jianyong is keen to make friends with various bosses, ostensibly to sell high-tech concepts, but in fact to sell Zhou Jiangyong's power. He knew that these companies found themselves in order to get to know Zhou Jiangyong, "You use me, I don't use you in turn?" As a result, he often opened his mouth widely and offered to buy shares in the company at a high price.
You use me, I use you, and the essence behind the transfer of benefits is the transaction of power and capital.
He dropped out of a key middle school
Zhou Jiangyong and his younger brother Zhou Jianyong and fellow villager Zhou Wenyong were both born in Xiangyan Village, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City. Zhou Jiangyong also has an older sister.
In the eyes of Ningbo locals, Xiangyan Village is located in the area of the poorest place in Ningbo. According to the villagers, Zhou Jiangyong's parents are authentic farmers, hard-working and hard-working, Zhou's father drove a tractor in the village in the early years to run transportation, and in his spare time on farm work, he also helped people repair tractors to subsidize the family.
Zhou Jiangyong's uncle Zhou Jianfang said that in order to provide for his three children to study, his brother could not help himself to do some side business, "the three school bags in the family are very heavy."
In 1982, at the age of 15, Zhou Jiangyong entered Yuyao Normal School, which was then a normal school and has now been incorporated into Ningbo University. In the same year, Zhou Jiangyong's sister was admitted to Donghua University majoring in Built Environment and Energy Application Engineering.
According to a senior of Zhou Jiangyong's Yuyao Normal School, Zhou Jiangyong took two entrance examinations when he graduated from junior high school, one for secondary school and one for Yinxian Middle School, one of the first eighteen key middle schools in Zhejiang Province. Zhou Jiangyong was admitted twice, but because the secondary school issued the admission notice late, Zhou Jiangyong enrolled in Yinxian Middle School for a week before receiving the admission letter from Yuyao Normal School, and then he dropped out of school to report to the normal school.
Why did Zhou Jiangyong retreat to the second place? It turned out that enrolling in Yuyao Normal School not only did not have to pay tuition, but students could also get a scholarship of 18.5 yuan per month, which attracted many local rural children.
Three years later, Zhou Jiangyong was assigned to teach at Jiangshan Middle School in Yinxian (now Yinzhou) and served as the secretary of the youth league committee. Zhou Jiangyong's senior said that among the more than 200 graduates of the normal school that year, only two students, including Zhou Jiangyong, were assigned to the middle school, and the rest of the graduates were assigned to the primary school, which may be related to the recommendation of the Yuyao Normal School, and the deputy director of the Yinxian Education Bureau at that time was also from Xiangyan Village.
Since then, Zhou Jiangyong has served as the secretary of the Youth League Committee of Jiangshan Middle School, the standing committee member, deputy secretary and secretary of the Yinxian Youth League Committee, the secretary of the party committee of Yinjiang Town, the chairman of the town people's congress, the deputy county magistrate of Yinxian County, and the deputy district chief of Yinzhou District of Ningbo City.
Since 2010, Zhou Jiangyong's promotion journey has entered the fast lane.
In this year, he served as the director of the Ningbo Hangzhou Bay New Area Development and Construction Management Committee (at the level of director of the main office), and then successively served as the acting mayor, mayor and secretary of Zhoushan City. After less than two years as secretary of the Zhoushan municipal party committee, Zhou Jiangyong became secretary of the Wenzhou municipal party committee in February 2017 and four months later became a member of the Standing Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, the youngest of the 50-year-old standing committee.
In May 2018, Zhou Jiangyong became the secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee. During his tenure as secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee, something happened in Hangzhou that shook the whole country.
In April 2021, due to the negligence of the management, three golden leopards of Hangzhou Wildlife World escaped. According to reports, after the golden leopard flight incident aroused concern, Zhou Jiangyong went to Fuyang District and Xihu District many times to supervise and guide the handling of the golden leopard's escape, listened to the work report on the spot, and checked the rectification of The Hangzhou Wildlife World. Later, two were recovered and the third never found. A month after the search, the search for a third golden leopard was halted.
What is Zhou Jiangyong's problem?
On February 6, 2021, the Fourth Inspection Group of the Central Committee gave feedback on the inspection to Zhou Jiangyong, then secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee, and found that the implementation of the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on Hangzhou's work by the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee was not strong enough, the supervision and restriction of the operation of power in some key areas were not in place, and there was still a gap in the leadership team to strengthen its own construction. In this regard, Zhou Jiangyong said: "For the feedback of the inspection team, we sincerely accept, accept all the orders, and resolutely rectify. As a result, only more than 6 months later, Zhou Jiangyong "fell off the horse".
During his tenure as secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee, Zhou Jiangyong said at a meeting: "This is an era of capable officials, and this is a city that can do things. Being able to work in such an era and in such a city is the supreme glory of each of our cadres and a major test for each of our cadres. At the same time, he also told his subordinates: "When the times abandon you, you will not even say goodbye." ”
Now, this sentence is just for himself.
