Fighting brothers in battle, father and son soldiers, this is an old saying that many Chinese businessmen are familiar with. However, in the history of the development of China's private enterprises, there is no shortage of stories of relatives turning against each other and bringing great influence to enterprises, and recently this story series has added a famous name.
At 16:59 on April 27, the Weibo account named @Rong Lanxiang's daughter Rong Ting posted a message titled "Shandong Lanxiang Principal's Daughter Reveals The Inside Story of the Conspiracy". This shocked the outside world.
The message said, "I am Rong Ting, the daughter of Rong Lanxiang of Lanxiang Technical School, about the illegal disposal of the property in the Shangqiu Tianlun Garden Community, the three of us sisters do not want to be used by others, and then participate in illegal things, and we do not want to go in again, so the three of us sisters must explain the relevant facts." ”

Subsequently, the account also published an article entitled "Shandong Lanxiang Principal's Daughter's Real Name Reveals Conspiracy Insider", which revealed, "What my mother Kong Suying said in the media was untrue, such as saying in the newspaper on September 19, 2014, 'Her life is very difficult, relying on her mother's family for help', etc., which was fabricated to win sympathy." He also cited the details of the shangqiu Lanxiang technical school real estate dispute case, the three sisters were coerced to sign a large number of blank documents.
As soon as the news was released, it quickly rushed to the hot search,
In this regard, Kong Suying responded that Rong Ting was one of the three daughters who were sentenced at that time, and rong Ting was involved in the signing of the real estate contract of Tianlun Garden, the house payment, etc., and it was not that they were coerced by their relatives as they said to the outside world, "How can this matter be forced? How could his own daughter force her? ”
This pull-and-pull war, which has lasted for nearly 10 years, still has no intention of ending.
Founded in 1984, Lanxiang was founded by the 58-year-old Rong Lanxiang. In 1986, Rong Lanxiang and Kong Suying, who had just married, rented several classrooms in The Tianqiao District of Jinan City, started by teaching painting, sofa making and sewing, and earned their first pot of gold by cooperating with the troops to conduct training.
In 1998, Lanxiang already had tens of thousands of students. Around 2006, Lanxiang Technical School hired Tang Guoqiang as an advertising spokesperson, and its popularity in the country became a hit.
According to the data, in 2002, the number of students in Lanxiang Technical School reached 30,000. Based on this calculation, the Lanxiang Technical School at that time has become the largest college of its kind in the country.
In the history of the development of China's private enterprises, there have been classic family dispute business cases such as real kung fu infighting, and this incident does not seem to involve the level of corporate management rights, but will it be the inflection point of Lanxiang?
From divorce to criminal detention
It all started with a brawl in 2014.
According to media reports, on September 5, 2014, Wang Jizhong, Fu Hanmin, and other leaders of Lanxiang Technical School led the teachers and students of Lanxiang Technical School to Tianlun Garden in Shangqiu City, where they had an argument with Kong Lingrong, the father-in-law of Rong Lanxiang, the founder of Lanxiang Technical School, and others, and were finally stopped by the local police.
For this farce, Rong Lanxiang said that he did not participate, and the students did not fight across provinces, but cleaned up.
Putting aside the superficial dispute, the core cause of this dispute is the divorce lawsuit between Rong Lanxiang and Kong Suying.
In December 2013, Kong Suying filed a divorce application with the Tianqiao District Court of Jinan City, and in addition to Lanxiang Technical School, Tianlun Garden was also one of the properties in dispute. On September 2, 2014, Rong Lanxiang applied to the court for property preservation of Tianlun Garden.
According to The China Business Daily, Sun Li, administrative director of Lanxiang Technical School, presented the civil ruling stamped by the Jinan Tianqiao District People's Court on September 2, indicating that the Jinan Tianqiao District People's Court had seized 351 houses and basements in Tianlun Garden, located next to Shenhuo Avenue in Shangqiu City.
According to a power of attorney dated September 5, Rong Lanxiang entrusted the property of Tianlun Garden and a unit on Tuanjie Road Middle Road to Wang Jizhong, Bai Changhua, Fu Hanmin and Tian Leiqiang (all lanxiang technical school administrators). Coincidentally, the time when the power of attorney was signed, and the aforementioned brawl, occurred on the same day.
For Kong Suying, this is another story. Because she held a certificate signed by Rong Lanxiang, signed on June 19, 2014, that Rong Lanxiang would own a large number of assets, including Shandong Lanxiang Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., Shandong Lanxiang Advanced Technical School and Tianlun Garden Project. Moreover, on the certificate, there are also the signatures of Rong Lanxiang and his six children and the seal of Lanxiang Real Estate.
In the official WeChat account of Shandong Lanxiang Technician College, Rong Lanxiang and Yu Yong, an authorized lawyer of Shandong Lanxiang Technician College, also acknowledged the existence of this certificate in their lawyer statements. But obviously, this proof does not bring any guarantee to Kong Suying.
Yu Yong said in the discussion that on June 19, 2014, Kong Suying and Rong Lanxiang asked Rong Lanxiang to issue a "certificate" in order to reach an agreement on divorce as soon as possible, but because the two parties failed to reach a divorce agreement and the content of the certificate did not conform to the law, the certificate was invalid from the beginning, of course, it was not actually implemented, and the property in the "certificate" was not registered in the name of the children.
For Kong Suying and his family, it is to prevent Rong Lanxiang from transferring property. To this end, Kong Suying's 72-year-old father Kong Lingrong stayed in the duty room of Tianlun Garden for more than a month, which eventually led to a large-scale conflict, in which Kong Lingrong was injured in both hands and thrown outside the door with daily necessities such as quilts, pots and pans. In this real estate battle, the Kong family temporarily fell behind.
According to public data, in 2013, Shandong Lanxiang Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. acquired two plots of land with a total area of 15,146.02 square meters in Shangqiu City for a total price of 17.928 million yuan to develop commercial housing.

This plot became the Tianlun Garden. According to media reports, in 2014, the total value of the community was as high as 180 million yuan.
According to public auction information released by the People's Court of Zhecheng County, Henan Province on June 29, 2017, the appraisal price of Tianlun Garden Community reached 423 million yuan.

In the face of such a huge amount of property, it is difficult to let go easily. Although the fight was over, the struggle between Rong Lanxiang and Kong Suying had just begun.
The detained mother and the "no money" father
"At the end of 2017, my mother Kong Suying told me that I had accepted a hundred million yuan in cash, and if the public security officer asked me where the money went, they would say that I had gambled on the stone and gambled it."
In Rong Ting's statement, she and Rong Yan and Rong Xin sisters signed "hundreds of blank house sales contracts and blank receipts" under the "compulsion" of the Kong family, and did not let them go or sleep without signing." ”
As a result, since November 14, 2014, Kong Suying, Kong De'an and others have organized a large number of people to use force to use force to drive the caregivers of Lanxiang School out of the community, regain control of the Tianlun Garden community, and start selling houses to the outside world.
"Pay 10,000 yuan to move in, pay 50,000 yuan to decorate and send air conditioning", Rong Ting said, this way of attracting more people to live in through preferential treatment, the method of occupying the house first, is to create a situation of "many people, the law does not blame the public".
"The smallest houses are worth more than 1 million yuan, but many people move in without paying a penny." Most of those whose house transfer contracts and receipts for collection say 'full payment has been paid' are false. Rong Ting said that the Kong family promised to send them a house to anyone who dared to make trouble with the public, procuratorate, or law, or who could find a strong relationship.
"For example, a lady who sells insurance, she has a lot of trouble with the Jinan public security and the court, she rewarded her with a suite of ,...... The full amount of the money written has been paid, but not a penny has been paid, and there are many more houses sent out like this to unclog the relationship. Rong Ting said.
On the other side, Rong Lanxiang was not idle. On August 11, 2015, Rong Lanxiang published a written "Statement" in Shangqiu Daily, clarifying that the "certificate" signed on June 19, 2014, regarding the transfer of assets including Shandong Lanxiang Advanced Technical School and tianlun Garden Project to his children, was invalid due to violations of the law.

In 2016, Rong Lanxiang and Kong Suying officially divorced. In the divorce judgment agreement between the two, we may be able to see why Kong Suying is tossing and turning like this.
According to the judgment, Rong Lanxiang believes that Lanxiang School and Lanxiang Company are a whole, an entity organization, highly integrated, interrelated, and inseparable from each other, and that finance has been centrally managed, unified accounting, unified allocation and use of funds, and the ownership of assets belongs to Lanxiang School... It is enough to prove that Lanxiang Company, like Lanxiang School, does not belong to the scope of joint property of husband and wife and cannot be divided by divorce.

The Times Weekly reported that the financial staff of Lanxiang Technical School said: "Rong Lanxiang has no money in his own name, and all the money is stored in the bank in the name of the school accountant or relatives and friends, and there is no one under his own name."
In addition, the children also began to stand up against Kong Suying. On January 26, 2017, Rong Rong, Rong Bailin, Rong Baifei, Rong Yan brothers and sisters published an open letter in Shangqiu Daily, which made it clear: "My mother, without our knowledge, privately tampered with the time of the power of attorney and the sale contract to the time before the court seized the Tianlun Garden Community (that is, before September 2, 2014), and Rong Bailin said that I neither knew nor signed the power of attorney, but my signature appeared on the power of attorney, so the power of attorney was fake." ”

Not only did she not get the company, but she also lost the support of her children, and Kong Suying fell into a legal dispute.
According to article 314 of the Criminal Law of the Mainland, the crime of illegally disposing of sealed, seized or frozen property: "Whoever conceals, transfers, sells or intentionally destroys property that has been sealed, seized or frozen by the judicial organs shall, if the circumstances are serious, be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or a fine." ”
In 2018, Kong Suying was detained on suspicion of illegally disposing of seized property and was eventually sentenced to 2 years and 3 months in prison. In April 2020, Kong Suying was released from prison and taken away as a suspect at the prison gate, while the crime is still illegal disposal of seized property, and the case is still under trial.
According to public information disclosure, on September 30, 2020, his daughters Rongxin and Rongyan were sentenced to 2 years and 8 months and 1 year imprisonment respectively for the crime of illegally disposing of and seizing property, and recovered 2.71 million yuan of the sale price [(2020) Lu 01 Xing Zhong No. 297]. In 2020, disputes over the sale and purchase contracts of multiple properties that have already been sold are still ongoing.
New successor
Under kong Suying's step-by-step pressure, Rong Lanxiang also had to retreat step by step.
Kong Suying once revealed to the outside world that Rong Lanxiang held three identity cards with completely different names, addresses and dates of birth in Shunyi, Henan, and Jinan, Shandong. In addition to his real name, he also has two other pseudonyms: Rong Yitian and Rong Hongshun.
According to the report of the financial gossip girl in 2021, when inquiring about the company under the name of Rong Lanxiang, the result given by Tianyancha is: there are a total of 8 Rong Lanxiang. And every "Rong Lanxiang" has a company about "Lanxiang".
According to the latest query results, querying "Rong Lanxiang" on the Aiqi Checker can get 4 results, and Lanxiang related enterprises can be seen in each result.
According to the New Evening News, on October 13, 2021, Kong Suying reported that Shandong Lanxiang Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Rong Lanxiang, was suspected of tax evasion. On February 8, 2021, Rong Lanxiang withdrew from the list of directors of the real estate company.
Up to now, rong lanxiang has only two companies left under its name, Shandong Lanxiang Engineering Construction Co., Ltd. and Jinan Qihui Microfinance Co., Ltd. Instead of Rong Lanxiang going to the front desk, it was a young man named Rong Xiaolong.

According to Xinhua News Agency, according to a relevant person in charge of the family planning department in Jinan's Tianqiao District, Rong Lanxiang admitted that he and his wife, Kong Suying, had six children. In response to the online rumor that Rong Lanxiang also has a four-year-old boy in addition to the above-mentioned six children, the family planning department asked Rong Lanxiang, he said that it was not true and denied it.
In the certificate presented by Kong Suying mentioned above, it is shown that the six children born by Rong Lanxiang and Kong Suying are: Rong Bailin, Rong Baifei, Rong Yan, Rong Xin, Rong Rong, and Rong Ting.
It can be seen that Rong Xiaolong is not the child of Rong Lanxiang and Kong Suying. In Rong Lanxiang's many external inspections, Rong Xiaolong has been listed with Rong Bailin as the vice president of Shandong Lanxiang Technician College.
In addition, Rong Bailin is the person most involved in Lanxiang's business among Kong Suying's 6 children. As an e-sports enthusiast, Rong Bailin has led the office of Lanxiang E-sports Academy and also formed the LX E-sports Club.
According to the offer of Lanxiang Technician College, the two-year tuition fee is more than 30,000, the three-year system needs more than 40,000, and the four-year system needs more than 50,000 yuan, and the average annual tuition fee per person is basically about 15,000 yuan. If calculated according to market rumors, Lanxiang, which has 30,000 students per year, may reach 450 million yuan in annual operating turnover.
As the first head vocational skills training school in China to deeply cultivate the sinking market, standing in the wilderness and growing up in the controversy, after many years of family property disputes, where does Lanxiang's golden sign go? Can a new generation of successors forge a new path? It is still an unknown.
