Operator Caijing noticed Ma Hongfu, the founder of the manor ranch, and tried to reveal his past.
According to public information, Ma Hongfu was born in 1966, 57 years old this year, EMBA of Tsinghua University, but his undergraduate graduation institution and graduation time have not been officially disclosed. Moreover, it seems that he did not pass the college entrance examination to enter a full-time university.
Before starting his own business, he was a private teacher, according to his own recollection, it was his dream to change from a private teacher to a public teacher, for this dream he also specially took the Gansu Provincial Higher Education Self-study Examination, studied Chinese language major, and took the certificate, but after he took this certificate, the policy of turning positive was gone, and his dream was shattered.
So, he began to look for other ways out. Since the official establishment of the manor ranch, he has set up an information service station to serve those who do business, and he has also ridden the spring breeze of reform and opening up, made agricultural product trade, and harvested his first pot of gold.
Later, with the money and confidence he gained from trading, he began to borrow money to invest in the construction of brick factories and plastic processing factories, but the results were not good, and he lost all the money. So he turned to agricultural trade.
Until 1998, when the Southeast Asian financial crisis caused export trade to suffer and the domestic market was sluggish, Ma Hongfu decided to devote himself to the breeding industry and founded Zhuangyan Dairy, which coincided with the expansion of the dairy market and the rapid development of the estate.
From April 2000 to August 2002, Ma Hongfu served as executive director and general manager of Lanzhou Manor Dairy Co., Ltd.; From September 2002 to July 29, 2021, Ma Hongfu has served as the chairman of Manor Ranch, and is the controlling shareholder and actual controller of the company. At present, according to the official announcement, Ma Hongfu is no longer the chairman of the company, but the general manager and vice chairman of the company.
From 1994 to 2018, Ma Hongfu was praised many times as a relatively successful entrepreneur, for example, in 2002, he was awarded the title of "Excellent Entrepreneur" by Gansu Province; In June 2017, he was awarded the title of "Longshang New Talent" by eight departments including the Propaganda Department of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee.
According to Tianyan investigation, Ma Hongfu's salary in 2021 is 626,600 yuan, which is higher than the salary of chairman Yao Gexian.
In fact, during the Spring Festival from 2015 to 2018, Ma Hongfu paid cash bribes to Yang Xiaoming, former general manager of the business department of the Gansu Branch of the Agricultural Development Bank, in the name of New Year's greetings four times, totaling about 150,000 yuan.
In December 2019, Yang Xiaoming was sentenced to eight years in prison and fined 1 million yuan for accepting bribes, while the fact that Ma Hongfu paid bribes was not exposed by the media until 2020. Manor Ranch replied to the incident that the source of funds for Ma Hongfu's four gifts was his own funds, not from the company's account funds.
According to the facts ascertained by the effective criminal judgment, the total amount of bribes paid by Ma Hongfu did not meet the standard for filing a case for the crime of bribery by the unit, and according to the criminal judgment, Ma Hongfu was not a criminal suspect in the case, but a witness.
How will the estate farm develop in the future? Operator Finance will continue to pay attention.
