Six months after his fall, Zhang Huayu, former vice president of Everbright Bank, was expelled from the party. With the publicity of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the chaos of Everbright Group has been exposed, resulting in frequent personnel "giant earthquakes" and personnel flows, and its Everbright Bank is even rarer than 3 years and 3 changes in president, and the latest quarterly performance is obviously under pressure.
Illegal placement of relatives, fugitive resignation
On the afternoon of July 4, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection published the news that Zhang Huayu, former deputy secretary of the party committee and vice president of China Everbright Bank, had been expelled from the party and disclosed the circumstances of his violation of discipline and law.
Among them, the most shocking thing is that "Zhang Huayu seriously violated organizational discipline, using his power to arrange dozens of relatives and children of related people such as sons, sons-in-law, brothers, and other relatives and related people to work in the Everbright system, seeking benefits for many people in terms of job promotion and job transfer, and harming the political ecology of the Everbright system." Such nepotism undoubtedly turns the world's top 500 central enterprises into "family private enterprises" and becomes their cash machine.
Zhang Huayu also seriously violated integrity and discipline, took advantage of his position to seek benefits for specific related parties, engaged in profit-making activities in violation of regulations, held shares in unlisted companies in violation of regulations, and participated in private lending in violation of regulations; Using the convenience and influence of one's position to seek profits for others in terms of financing loans and personnel arrangements, illegally accepting huge amounts of money and property.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection pointed out that Zhang Huayu sought benefits for the enterprises concerned when he was in office, resigned on the eve of his retirement, and after resigning, received high salaries in enterprises that had business connections with his previous post; this is a typical example of corruption in "building a nest in advance" and "resigning in an escaped manner," a typical example of the interconnection of power and capital and the frenzied pursuit of profits, and also a typical example of being bent on being hunted down by wind and corruption.
Judging from his resume, Zhang Huayu, who was born in October 1958, resigned in September 2018 after working at Everbright Bank for 17 years. At this time, he was only a month away from retiring at an age, which was an anomaly.
After Zhang Huayu left Everbright Bank, he worked for 3 financial institutions, namely China Finance International, Tongfang Guoxin and Chongqing Trust. Among them, Tongfang Guoxin is the majority shareholder of Chongqing Trust, with a shareholding ratio of about 66.99%.
In November 2018, Zhang Joined China Finance International as a non-executive director and vice chairman of the company, with an annual salary of HK$2 million. On January 4 at the beginning of the year, Zhang Huayu, who had resigned for three years, was investigated, and three days later, China Finance International announced that although the company had tried many times, it was still unable to get direct contact or contact with Zhang Huayu. In the net asset value announcement disclosed by China Capital International on June 14, Zhang Huayu remained a non-executive director of the company.
However, judging from The 2021 annual report of Chongqing Trust, the company has dismissed Zhang Huayu from his position as a director. In addition, Zhang Huayu has also stopped serving as chairman of Tongfang Guoxin since January this year.
Officials who were notified of "fugitive resignations"
Phrases like "fugitive resignation" have appeared many times in recent financial system anti-corruption campaigns.
In October last year, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission published a report quoted from the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Group of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision in the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Hunan Provincial Supervision Commission: Zeng Changhong, a former first-level inspector of the Investor Protection Bureau of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, was suspected of serious violations of the law and was under supervision and investigation. On April 1 this year, it was announced that Zeng Changhong had been expelled from the party.
After investigation, Zeng Changhong lost his ideals and convictions, replaced his original intention with greed, worked in key positions for a long time in the examination and approval of securities issuance, "relied on the issuance of examinations and ate examinations," and left his post "in an escaped manner" near retirement, in a vain attempt to evade supervision and supervision, and continued to arbitrarily amass wealth.
In June this year, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission reported that Jia Leng, former director of the Inspection Office of the Agricultural Development Bank, had been expelled from the party. It also mentions the issue of "escape" resignation near retirement.
After investigation, Jia Leng did not really establish ideals and convictions, failed to be loyal and honest to the party, ate in the line of business, relied on enterprises to eat enterprises, "integrated with the wind and corruption" for a long time, resigned "in an escaped style" near retirement, vainly tried to evade discipline and punishment, and continued to arbitrarily amass wealth.
In May this year, the China Discipline Inspection and Supervision Daily published an article analyzing the problem of some corrupt elements "escaping from their jobs" before retirement.
The article believes that after the party members and leading cadres leave their posts or retire (leave), their original functions and powers will still have an impact or play a role within a certain scope and a certain period of time. Therefore, we must not let themselves go unchecked, and we must not "just walk away," but should refine the relevant regulations and draw a "hard lever" on the scope of employment and the time of employment after leaving their jobs; discipline inspection and supervision organs, organizational departments, and auditing organs must also strictly control the "export gate" to prevent the problem of corruption in the "revolving door" of government and businessmen.
Experts suggest that the supervision and management of incumbents should focus on running businesses, investing in shares, or doing business and running enterprises with spouses, children and relatives; The supervision and management of retired public employees, on the one hand, is a economic audit of their departure, focusing on the relevant issues and decision-making situations during their tenure, and on the other hand, they should pay attention to the "freezing period" after their resignation and retirement, such as regularly reporting personal matters to the original department.
