preface:
"Human nature is greedy, and human nature is eager to accumulate wealth quickly."
How long does it take for an ordinary person to achieve financial freedom? Maybe five years, ten years.
Becoming rich is tantamount to a fool's dream for ordinary people, but the temptation of money is something that most people can't resist, and many people have embarked on a crooked road because of their desire for profit.
The woman I want to talk about in this issue only took 5 years to cheat 1.6 billion with one mouth.
This is China's largest fraud case, known as the "originator" of fraud in Xiamen Mingda President Li Baohua, with only one mouth to accumulate his wealth in several years to 1.6 billion.
Gargling with bird's nest, buying in boxes of brand-name bags, a watch on a million, a body injection for 600,000, doing a beauty face million, buying tens of millions of yachts, etc., this is Li Baohua's luxurious life before being arrested.
In July 2012, Li Baohua, who was on the run, was arrested at a luxury villa in Shanghai.
"I've had everything I should have had, I've enjoyed everything I should have enjoyed, and my life is worth it."
This is what Li Baohua said after his arrest.
This is also because Li Baohua cheated all this, relying on only one mouth and five years, defrauding 1.6 billion yuan from more than 30 victims.
Li Baohua was born mediocre, how did he rely on his own "clever mouth" to defraud such a huge amount of money?
Born mediocre but not willing to be mediocre
In 1976, Li Baohua was born in Jimei Houxi Town, Xiamen City, Fujian Province, although Houxi Town is known as "China's overseas Chinese township", but Li Baolian's family is very general, her parents in the village rely on selling tofu for a living, although it is not rich, but the basic food and clothing problems can be self-sufficient.
Because Li Baohua's parents have excellent skills in making tofu, so the people in the village will basically buy tofu at Li Baohua's house, and the young Li Baohua is also very talented in language, and from an early age, he has heard people coming and going, so that Li Baohua has a strong social ability.
At the same time, because Li Baohuasheng is cute and beautiful, the villagers call her "Little Tofu Xishi".
"Polite, talkative, business from a young age. And it's a bit stronger. ”
This is the impression of Li Baohua by customers who buy tofu at Li Baohua's house all year round.
In December 1978, China's reform and opening up officially kicked off, coastal cities as China's first pilot, in just a few years the city's appearance is changing with each passing day, bold and careful people seized the opportunity to get rich, but some people still paced in place.
Li Baohua's parents belong to the latter, and the neighbors nearby are getting richer and richer, while Li Baohua's family still maintains the status quo and has not changed.
The elderly parents did not have the courage to go out and run, but Li Baohua was not willing to be mediocre, and put forward the idea of dropping out of school and going out to work, this year Li Baohua was only 13 years old and did not graduate from junior high school.
At first, his parents did not agree, but Li Baohua advised his parents: "I am not reading material, rather than wasting time on reading, it is better to go out to work early." ”
When the neighbors learned of Li Baohua's idea, they thought the girl had a lot of ideas, and the parents agreed with Li Baohua's idea after thinking about it again and again.
Newcomer
In 1990, Li Baohua followed his compatriots to Xiamen to work, and in the face of the prosperous scene of the big city, Li Baohua secretly decided to take root in the big city.
But a minor girl who has no Chinese for the first time, even solving the problem of food and clothing, not to mention taking root, in the eyes of many people is also a fantasy.
In that era when the ID card information was not very perfect, Li Baohua falsely reported his age to enter the factory, Li Baohua initially wanted to work in the factory until adulthood, accumulated enough capital to do what he wanted to do, so Li Baohua worked on the assembly line of the factory for two years.
I thought Li Baohua would become an adult in this factory, but suddenly something happened that changed Li Baohua's mind.
Li Baohua had a particularly good relationship with one of the sisters in this factory, who was deducted a day's salary because of a mistake, and the sister who was in a bad mood went to Li Baohua to complain about her experience.
This sister is eighteen years old in the factory, has been working in this factory for more than ten years, perennial overtime so that her body has fallen a lot of diseases, and even if she is already the "old man" of this factory, but still like all employees, doing wrong things is still scolded and punished. Facing the assembly line day after day, Li Baohua secretly decided to leave the factory to get rid of the situation of being at the mercy of others.
Soon, Li Baohua left the factory.
After coming out of the factory, Li Baohua rethinked his way of survival, and Li Baohua, who had been doing business since childhood, suddenly smelled business opportunities.
The population in the factory is large, if you can do a good job in the business of these people, then you can certainly earn money, but what makes Li Baohua embarrassed is that he does not have any craftsmanship, and when he is at a loss, he sees the fruit on the tree, and Li Baohua instantly smiles.
When you first enter the mall, you will meet true love
Li Baohua decided to set up his own stall to sell fruit, and the stalls near the factory also achieved initial results, Li Baohua's accumulated contacts and the factory's original large flow of people made Li Baohua just start to earn money, and soon wholesale more fruits, but Li Baohua, who was in business for the first time, also quickly suffered the first blow in his life.
Because of his lack of experience, his own fruit was not properly preserved and all rotted.
This also makes all the money earned by this money go to waste.
The young Li Baohua did not give up his fruit business because of this blow, but this time the fruit rot caused Li Baohua to have no capital in his hands and could only start over.
The process of starting over is difficult, and Li Baohua also gained his first love at this difficult stage.
Because li baohua is weak and young, a tricycle driver who picks up customers near the factory often accompanies Li Baohua next to Li Baohua's stall, and sometimes Li Baohua will take care of the stall for Li Baohua when he has something.
As soon as they came and went, the two slowly became acquainted.
The coachman has a strong good feeling for Li Baohua, protects li baohua and often sends Li Baohua home, which makes Li Baohua, who has been away from home for many years, have the warmth of home again.
Soon the relationship between the two quickly warmed up, although the age difference between the two was very large, but Li Baohua resolutely married the coachman. And soon the two had a love crystallization.
I thought that Li Baohua would live such a mediocre life, but a sudden accident made Li Baohua change his mind again.
Resolutely divorced into a pyramid scheme
On this day, Li Baohua came to set up a stall as usual, a young girl came to buy fruit, the girl selected it and let Li Baohua weigh it, Li Baohua weighed it, Li Baohua weighed it and handed it to this girl, even if this girl did not pick up the fruit and spill it on the ground, Li Baohua immediately picked up the fruit and handed it to the girl, who knew that the girl suddenly changed her face: "The fruit that has been dropped on the ground is returned to me, I do not buy it." ”
Say goodbye and turn around and go.
Li Baohua was angry but immediately caught up: "Can you pick me up yourself?" ”
"You're a fruit seller, talk so hard that no one will buy your fruit."
This girl's words hurt Li Baohua's heart that was not willing to be mediocre. Li Baohua was stunned.
From the original mediocre family came to another mediocre family.
Li Baohua immediately closed the fruit stall, went home and divorced her husband and sent her son back to his hometown to be supervised by his parents.
Entered the pyramid scheme and was sentenced to 2 years
Li Baohua was looking for a job again, and at this time, a company that came to pay quickly entered Li Baohua's eyes, and Li Baohua quickly entered the company.
And all the company needs to do every day is to pull people's heads and rush performance.
Perennial business made Li Baohua's articulate and talk about making money, and soon, Li Baohua's "talent" was appreciated by the company's "senior management".
Even if he knew that he was deceiving people to commit crimes, the pleasure of coming to the money quickly dispelled Li Baohua's concerns.
In 1999, Li Baohua's MLM company was reported, and after the police strictly deployed the MLM company, Li Baohua was also sentenced to two years in prison.
This makes Li Baohua's life experience more "rich".
After serving in prison, Li Baohua once again prepared for his "new life" again.
Li Baohua started a wholesale business of beverages, and also met her husband Yu at this stage.
In prison, Li Baohua did not really reflect on what he had done, Li Baohua watched those rich merchants and wives shopping together all day, which made Li Baohua realize the importance of a circle.
The poor always struggle at the bottom, while the rich always enjoy themselves at the top.
This also gives Li Baohua a clear direction, that is, to enter the circle of the rich.
Become a rich man
The criterion for entering the circle of the rich is that you have to have money, but money is Li Baohua's biggest obstacle at present. Forced to call his father, Li Baohua claimed that he wanted to do business but was short of money.
Li Baohua's father has always loved his daughter, and his daughter wants to "change from evil to righteousness", and he must support him as a father.
The father's cobbled together in the village and borrowed money to a total of 200,000 yuan, which also became the starting capital for Li Baohua's formal fraud. And this also officially opened li Baohua's "counterattack" road.
When Li Baohua was selling drinks, he met some big supermarket owners, Kuota, who discussed going to Hong Kong to play, and Li Baohua thought that this was an opportunity to break into this group of Kotai circles, so Li Baohua also proposed to go to Hong Kong together.
After coming to Hong Kong, these kotai shopped in the store and lingered, and Li Baohua did not buy anything until he came to a jewelry store.
Women can hardly resist seeing jewelry, but the high price also makes these kuo too hesitant, at this time Li Baohua chose the most expensive jewelry in the store, up to 130,000 yuan.
Li Baohua lied that he did not seem to have enough money when he paid, looked for the peers to borrow money, and promised to pay interest, these broad too looked at it, thinking that Li Baohua had a generous hand during this time, it seemed that he was not the lord without money, so he lent the money to Li Baohua.
Li Baohua's heart was also dripping blood when he paid, but if he didn't want to indulge, this group of Kuo Tai would not be deceived.
After returning home, Li Baohua borrowed 200,000 yuan from his father, and immediately withdrew the money to buy jewelry plus his own gratitude fee for a total of 140,000 yuan to return to the Kuo Tai who had lent money to himself, which also impressed the Kuo Tai, who began to have frequent exchanges with Li Baohua, and Li Baohua also officially stepped into the "circle of the rich".
Create Li Ka-shing's "bastard son" and deceive the rich
After stepping into the circle of the rich, Li Baohua once again began a new layout, that is, to turn the money of these rich people into his own money.
Li Baohua first registered a company in Xiamen as a chip to attract investment from these wealthy people.
Li Baohua relied on his relationship in the "circle of the rich" and his own mouth that could speak well, and used the high interest return as bait to let some noble ladies enter the trap and invest in Li Baohua's company.
In order to make himself look very hard backstage, Li Baohua thought of Li Ka-shing, the former richest man in Asia.
In order to package himself, Li Baohua took pains, Li Ka-shing and himself never knew each other, but Li Ka-shing's "son" can certainly become his own backer.
As a result, Li Baohua began to build Li Ka-shing's "illegitimate son".
Li Baohua once again began a trip to Hong Kong, and this time the purpose was simple, to go to Hong Kong to find Li Ka-shing's "illegitimate son".
Li Baohua packaged himself as a "noble lady" of the mainland and bought a house in Hong Kong, at this time a real estate salesman in Hong Kong attracted the attention of Li Baohua, this person is called Lin Xiaodong, Lin Xiaodong is not a generalist, sharp words, from the words can be seen that this person's interests are very heavy.
In 2008, the "bastard son" of Li Ka-shing can be said to have helped himself a lot, and the economic crisis made Li Baohua's old bottom almost be opened, and at this time, Li Baohua painstakingly persuaded investors.
And moving Li Ka-shing's "illegitimate son" Lin Xiaodong out also reassured these people. And promised to make all investors profit 2 billion in the next eight years.
After stabilizing the "situation", Li Baohua set his sights on the high-end leisure club, and the threshold set was quite high, and the requirements for entering the club were quite strict.
With an entry fee of 300,000 yuan and a certificate of assets of 50 million yuan, this also became the most high-end high-end clubhouse in Xiamen at that time.
And this wave of operations has made Li Baohua a big local celebrity, and the overwhelming reports have made Li Baohua unique. For those who have just begun to invest, Li Baohua has also given huge returns, which has made waves of investors even buy shares of Li Baohua at a higher price than the market.
While successfully defrauding others of their assets, Li Baohua's life can be described as extremely luxurious, on weekdays, bird's nest gargling, wearing gold and silver, luxury cars, and is very willing to work his own maintenance. A needle of more than 600,000 beauty needles, Li Baohua consumes nearly 7 million yuan a year.
And Li Baohuahao spent tens of millions to buy a yacht to provide hedonistic services for the VIP guests of his high-end clubhouse.
In addition to being generous to himself, Li Baohua is also not stingy with his family.
He built a three-story cottage for his parents, bought 20 cars to open a car rental company for his brother, and Li Jiacheng became a wealthy family in the village.
Unable to repay debts, the legal net was restored without leakage
After all, paper can't contain the fire, and the luxurious life makes Li Baohua's wealth quickly clear, but Li Baohua still wants to use the same routine to "circle money".
However, the accumulation of debt made Li Baohua no longer able to repay the interest given to investors, and many creditors realized that things were not right, but they could no longer contact Li Baohua, and Li Baohua's previous assets had long been sold.
The creditors chose to call the police, and after receiving the report, the police began to track down and arrest Li Baohua.
Li Baohua used his forged identity to abscond for two years, and in 2012, Li Baohua, who had absconded, was arrested in a villa area in Shanghai.
After being arrested, Li Baohua said calmly:
"I've had everything I should have had, I've enjoyed everything I should have enjoyed, and my life is worth it." I never wanted to run away again. ”
In 2015, Li Baohua was sentenced to life imprisonment.
In the era of materialism, the accumulation of a small amount of wealth led to more of his own, and Li Baohua never stopped his deceitful steps.
From the rich woman in Xiamen to the imprisonment of Gongdang, all this is Li Baohua's own doing.
