Behind the "To 21 Dead Marathon": the printing house started, the start-up company undertook multiple events, and the two younger brothers participated in the bidding

At about 7:00 a.m. on May 23, Zhang Xiaoen received a call from his cousin: "Brother, the marathon has killed 16 people!" ”

Zhang Xiaoen knew the seriousness of the matter, he quickly got up to wash up, and then hurried to Jingtai County with his second uncle. Because the day before, that is, on May 22, in the mountain marathon 100-kilometer cross-country race held in the Yellow River Stone Forest Scenic Area in Chengtai County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, the company that specifically operated the event was Gansu Shengjing Sports Culture Development Co., Ltd.

Wu Shiyuan, the legal representative of Gansu Shengjing Sports Culture Development Co., Ltd., is Zhang Xiaoen's cousin, Wu Shiyuan's wife Zhang Xiaoyan is Zhang Xiaoen's cousin, and Zhang Xiaoyan is the daughter of Zhang Xiaoen's third uncle.

On the way to Jingtai by Zhang Xiaoen and his second uncle, bad news kept coming. As of noon on May 23, 21 people had been killed.

"I went for several days, and so far, my husband has not returned, and he needs to accompany my brother (cousin)." At about 19:00 on May 27, at her home in Qianjin Village, Mitan Town, Jingyuan County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, Zhang Xiaoen's wife, Guo Xinhua, told Red Star News.

In a 172-person 100-kilometer cross-country race, 21 people died and the death rate exceeded 12%, including many top masters of the running circle, such as Liang Jing, who was called the "big god" by the running circle.

This matter has aroused great concern in the field of public opinion. Behind this event, what kind of company is Gansu Shengjing Sports Culture Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shengjing Sports"), which is responsible for the operation? What is the organizational structure of its company? How did they get to the top marathon?

Over the past week, Red Star News traveled to Gansu to try to reconstruct the little-known "growth" story behind Shengjing Sports and its leaders.

Inherit the father's business

He dropped out of school in his sophomore year of high school

Originated in printing houses

Zhang Xiaoyan is 38 years old this year, and many people in Qianjin Village are not impressed by her. On May 27, Yang Xintai, secretary of the party committee and director of Qianjin Village in Mitan Town, told Red Star News that around the end of the 1990s, Zhang Xiaoyan followed her parents to live in Jingyuan County because "their family's economic conditions are relatively good", and Yang Xintai, who was born in 1989, said that he did not have more impressions of Zhang Xiaoyan's family.

In fact, many of the neighbors who married into Qianjin Village more than a decade ago also have no more impressions of Zhang Xiaoyan. Zhang Xiaoyan, a neighbor in Qianjin Village who runs a daily necessities store, told Red Star News that after she married into the Zhang family in 2003, she had almost no intersection with Zhang Xiaoyan and rarely saw her.

However, Zhang Xiaoyan and her relatives are still moving around, and they only return for the New Year's Festival. "When she comes back for the New Year's Festival, she will bring some gifts, but she will go around in a circle and leave, and she has not even eaten food. Zhang Xiaoyan's cousin-in-law Guo Xinhua told Red Star News.

According to Guo Xinhua, her father-in-law died when she was 25 years old, when her father-in-law's son, Zhang Xiaoen, who later became her husband, was only 2 years old, and her mother-in-law also remarried, so the family was more difficult. The family lived in the same courtyard as the third uncle, Zhang Xiaoyan's father.

At present, in the yard, there are still one-story and two-room wooden houses of about 50 square meters built by Zhang Xiaoyan's father Zhang Youtian in 1996. But the house is now full of miscellaneous items from Guo Xinhua's family, because Zhang Xiaoyan's family has not returned to live since the family moved to the county seat in 2003.

According to Zhang Xiaoyan's neighbors, Zhang Xiaoyan's father, Zhang Youtian, opened a rice noodle processing factory in the village in his early years, and then went to the county town to develop. Guo Xinhua also knows this. According to her, in 1993, she married the Zhang family for about 3 years, and the third uncle Zhang Youtian bought a machine to go to the county town to engage in the printing of homework books. Later, Zhang Youtian set up a company called Jingyuan County Xingda Printing Factory, located in Fenglei Street (now renamed Xinglong Street) in Jingyuan County.

According to Tianyan, the company was first established on August 2, 2004. At present, the company's signboard is still there, but the legal representative has changed many times. On June 22, 2016, Zhang Youtian and Zhang Chaowei withdrew from the positions of executive directors and supervisors of the company respectively, and were changed to wu Shiyuan as supervisors and Zhang Xiaoyan as executive directors.

December 29, 2018 – At this time, less than three months after Zhang Youtian's death due to illness, Wu Shiyuan and Zhang Xiaoyan quit Xingda Printing Company and replaced them with Zhang Chaowei and Zhang Chaoming. At present, the legal representative of the printing company is Zhang Chaoming, accounting for 80% of the shares, and the other shareholder who accounts for 20% of the shares is Zhang Chaowei.

According to Guo Xinhua, Wu Shiyuan and Zhang Xiaoyan are husband and wife, and Zhang Chaoming and Zhang Chaowei are Zhang Xiaoyan's two younger brothers, that is, Zhang Youtian's two sons. Zhang Chaoming's original name was Zhang Xiaobing, Zhang Chaowei's original name was Zhang Xiaoliang, Guo Xinhua did not know why, and later they all changed to their current names.

According to zhang Xiaoyan's acquaintances, Zhang Xiaoyan attended high school in Jingyuan, did not read when he was in his second year of high school, and later met, fell in love and married Wu Shiyuan, who was in the same school. Like Zhang Xiaoyan, his two younger brothers failed to make a breakthrough in their studies and could not attend college. But in business, they are "opening companies continuously".

Step into sports

"The company usually has four or five people,

Temporary recruitment when there is an event"

According to Tianyan' investigation, the companies in which Zhang Xiaoyan serves as the legal representative or shareholder are: Gansu Shengjing Sports Culture Development Co., Ltd., Gansu Wanmei Industrial Group Co., Ltd., Gansu Fuyuantang Biological Health Co., Ltd., Gansu Qianye Runcheng Landscaping Co., Ltd., Gansu Taizhen Agricultural Co., Ltd., Jingyuan Aosen Color Steel Co., Ltd.

However, a very similar phenomenon is that many of the above companies are husband and wife files, most of which are her and her husband Wu Shiyuan rotating as legal representatives. In addition, some shareholders have increased their status to her two younger brothers, Zhang Chaoming and Zhang Chaowei.

It is worth noting that according to the above-mentioned search for the registered address of these companies, many of them have been found on the spot. Their real office address is located on the second floor of No. 33 Xinglong Street, Jingyuan County, and the place of residence along the roadway.

On the basis of her father's entrepreneurship, Zhang Xiaoyan founded Gansu Shengjing Sports Culture Development Co., Ltd. in 2016 with a registered capital of 5 million yuan. The company's legal representative was Zhang Xiaoyan earlier, and currently her husband Wu Shiyuan, but husband and wife each account for 50% of the shares.

In the marathons and various sports events held in Jingyuan County and Jingtai County, the names of Gansu Shengjing Sports Culture Development Co., Ltd. and Gansu Wanmei Industrial Group Co., Ltd. (the legal representative and shareholder are Zhang Xiaoyan, established on May 20, 2009) often appear, and they respectively assume the role of operation and co-promotion. For example, in the Beautiful Countryside Health Run 2020 Jingyuan Online and Offline Marathon, according to Jingyuan TV, the two companies are responsible for operation and promotion.

▲The door on the second floor of Shengjing Sports Company is closed

Gansu Shengjing Sports Culture Development Co., Ltd. and Gansu Wanmei Industrial Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Wanmei Industry") are located on the second floor of No. 33 Xinglong Street, but now, after the death of 21 people in the marathon event held by Jingtai, they have removed all the signs at the company's entrance and locked the doors day and night.

At 10:35 p.m. on May 26, the curtains on the second floor of Shengjing Sports Company revealed lights, and Red Star News knocked on the second floor, for a long time, the door has not been opened, and when the reporter went downstairs and looked up, the lights had been extinguished. Suddenly, it became silent again.

According to nearby neighbors, Shengjing Sports and Wanmei Industry work together, usually there are four or five people, and when there is an event, they will temporarily recruit people.

In fact, Zhang Xiaoyan's two younger brothers took over the Xingda Printing Factory operated by their father's industry in the downstairs yard, and usually their families are both senior executives and employees of the company, "only two or three workers are hired." Guo Xinhua said.

People's confusion is also how such a husband and wife company can frequently win bids in many competitions and assume the responsibility of operating large-scale events.

According to Red Star News, Shengjing Sports has successively operated the 2020 Jingyuan Online and Offline Marathon of The Beautiful Countryside Health Run in Jingyuan County, the First Yellow River Stone Forest International Marathon in 2018, the Second Yellow River Stone Forest 100 km Cross-country Race in 2019, the 2018 Jingyuan Second International Half Marathon, and the 4th Yellow River Stone Forest Mountain Marathon 100 Km Cross Country Race held in Jingtai County recently.

In the bidding of the competition in some places, the reporter noted that most of the companies participating in the bidding were companies in which Wu Shiyuan and his wife or Zhang Xiaoyan's brother served as legal representatives or shareholders participated in the bidding.

Taking the Silver Yellow River Stone Forest Mountain Marathon 100 km Cross-country Race as an example, since 2018 has been held for 4 consecutive years, Shengjing Sports Company has obtained the right to operate and execute the event for 4 consecutive years, and among the enterprises bidding with Shengjing Sports, there are Jingyuan Dingli Advertising Co., Ltd. and Jingyuan Jiuyi Advertising Co., Ltd. Industrial and commercial information shows that the legal representative, executive director and manager of Jingyuan Dingli Advertising Co., Ltd. is appointed by Zhang Chaoming, the younger brother of the sole shareholder Zhang Xiaoyan.

It is worth noting that the supervisor of Jingyuan Jiuyi Advertising Co., Ltd. is Zhang Chaoming, the legal representative of Jingyuan Dingli Advertising Co., Ltd. mentioned above.

Life "Waterloo"

Extreme weather was blamed for the incident

Whether he was detained or not is doubtful

With the frequent appearances of Shengjing Sports and Wanmei Industry in many local competitions, Zhang Xiaoyan has won political honors. Three years ago, Zhang Xiaoyan became a member of the 10th CPPCC Committee of Jingyuan County.

According to an official micro-report by Jingyuan Television Station on February 6 this year, Zhang Xiaoyan, a member of the CPPCC National Committee from the industrial and commercial circles, said after listening to the government work report made by Liu Lijiang County, "Sports are closely related to the people's happy life, and as a CPPCC member and a sports person, I am willing to make a modest contribution to the cause of sports events in Jingyuan." ”

But Shengjing Sports, a "husband and wife company" and its responsible person who have been passing through the local sports industry, have also encountered the "Waterloo" in their life destiny.

In response, Zhang Xiaoyan put the blame on extremely bad weather in an interview with Red Star News on the morning of May 23, telling Red Star News: "This kind of weather is very rare. "So, what are the components of natural and man-made disasters in the marathon that killed 21 people?

Red Star News reporters successively went to the Gansu Provincial Emergency Management Department and the Gansu Provincial Meteorological Bureau for interviews, but the relevant staff said in an interview with Red Star News that they were still waiting for the conclusion of the investigation team, and it was not convenient to accept interviews before the conclusion came out.
