In the dark and damp prison, the faint ray of sunlight was like the dawn of hope, piercing through the heavy iron window and falling on Wang Yonghong's tired face.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes empty, as if he had lost his former grace.
Back then, he was the giant who stood out in the shopping mall, sitting on tens of billions of assets, and his elegance was peerless. Now, however, he has become one of the prisoners, living a difficult life and uncertain future.
Thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the past, and those former glories flashed in Wang Yonghong's mind like a marquee. In 1992, with the dream of starting a business, he broke into Beijing, a city full of mysterious charm.
Despite his humble beginnings, he worked at a car wash, but he had the foresight to see the enormous potential of the automotive industry.
With keen insight and innovative thinking, Wang Yonghong quickly founded the first company in China to provide a full range of car maintenance services. His well-crafted one-stop service is loved by the majority of car owners, and the business is thriving, laying a solid foundation for his rise in the business world.
The success of his career fueled his insatiable thirst for money. Wang Yonghong was not satisfied with this, he was still unsatisfied, and then set foot in gas stations, real estate and other fields, and the road to wealth was smooth.
When power and wealth were in his hands, he was complacent, domineering, and began to flout the law and take risks to speculate on listed companies.
However, the arrogant army will be defeated, and the greed will be excessive. Driven by desire, Wang Yonghong did not restrain himself, and eventually became riddled with debts and was unable to repay... Feeling overwhelmed by the collapse of his carefully constructed business empire, he began to flee with all his resources in an attempt to transfer his money abroad.
Until this moment, facing the trial of the law, Wang Yonghong suddenly woke up to the fact that his previous behavior had already crossed the red line of the law and caused today's bitter fruits.
The days when he washed his car in Beijing were just the starting point for Wang Yonghong to pursue his dream. Three years later, he resolutely quit his job and vowed to start a big business.
With a unique understanding of the car care industry, Wang Yonghong quickly made a name for herself in this field.
He founded a leader in the car maintenance industry, breaking through the conventional thinking, and innovatively launched an integrated business model. This unique model perfectly integrates all aspects of car washing, repair and maintenance, creating a convenient and efficient "one-stop" service for the majority of car owners.
Such an unprecedented business philosophy has quickly won the enthusiastic response and wide praise of the market. With the company's growing scale and the number of employees exceeding 2,000, Wang Yonghong knows that it is time to further expand its business territory and achieve greater business value.
In 1999, the mainland's oil industry ushered in a historic moment of nationalization reform, which undoubtedly provided a golden opportunity for Wang Yonghong's career transformation.
He had a unique vision and made a decisive move, and without hesitation, he sold all the gas stations in exchange for a good sum of money.
This windfall laid a solid economic foundation for his next strategic layout.
In 2008, the Beijing Olympic Games, which attracted worldwide attention, came to a successful conclusion, bringing unprecedented development opportunities to the area outside the Fifth Ring Road. With the continuous improvement of transportation and other infrastructure, these once "barren places" are instantly full of vitality.
Wang Yonghong's controversial and unpopular investment in the past has now been transformed into a rolling fortune. In just half a year, the sales performance of the real estate he developed was booming, and the profits soared to an astonishing 5 billion yuan! According to incomplete statistics, he was in the prime of life at the age of 36 that year, and his total personal assets were as high as 36 billion yuan, easily surpassing the former richest man and becoming the richest man of the new generation in Jiangxi.
However, in this endless race of life, despite enjoying the glory and wealth, Wang Yonghong has never been satisfied, and his pursuit of power and money is almost crazy.
In the end, in 2019, he paid a heavy price for his arrogant and lascivious behavior, violated the law and discipline, was arrested by the public security organs in accordance with the law, and officially entered prison.
Looking back on the past, on the road of pursuing wealth, Wang Yonghong also had a brief moment of sobriety. When the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 and the rare ice and snow disaster in North China in 2010, he generously donated tens of millions of yuan with enthusiasm, practicing the "social responsibility of the rich" with practical actions.
It's a pity that this benevolent heart was like a flash in the pan, and when power and wealth reached its peak, he quickly lost himself and embarked on the road of no return to breaking the law and committing crimes.
The sad truth is that while Wang Yonghong was arrested and imprisoned on suspicion of economic crimes, his dear old father was suffering from illness.
As a prodigal son who has been away from home for many years, his father's only desire is to see that familiar face again, but Wang Yonghong, a man who seems to have forgotten his family affection, is actually insensitive to his father's life and death.
Even after learning the sad news that his father's life was dying, he was still stubborn and refused to let go of his body to visit his loving father on the sickbed, and he never set foot on the way home until his father's death.
As a son, Wang Yonghong's attitude towards his loving father was so ruthless, which undoubtedly attracted severe condemnation and contempt from relatives and friends, and was named "people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts".
However, none of this can be changed, and he misses the opportunity to spend his last days with his loved ones, leaving behind an irreparable eternal regret.
In Wang Yonghong's business journey, it was not all smooth sailing, but full of twists and turns. However, with his firm faith and wisdom, he stepped on a solid foundation step by step, and repeatedly created amazing and brilliant achievements.
However, greed is insatiable, lack of financial resources puts him in a difficult situation, and after accumulating an astonishing fortune, instead of resting on his laurels, he has fallen deeper and deeper, even violating the red line of the law.
The temptation brought by money made Wang Yonghong start to do evil. He used his strong influence in the business world to collude with some ill-intentioned people to jointly manipulate many listed companies and inflate stock prices at will.
Their actions have caused countless retail investors to suffer and suffer heavy losses.
After in-depth investigation, we found that those listed companies that seem to have unlimited scenery are actually just "empty shells" with no actual operational capabilities at all.
The real intention of Wang Yonghong and others to manipulate stock prices is simply to put a large amount of "embezzlement tax" into their own pockets.
After the case was revealed, Wang Yonghong tried to evade legal punishment. However, the fairness and strictness of the law will not be easily broken after all. Before his arrest, he had already carefully planned to successfully transfer a huge amount of up to 6.1 billion yuan overseas, fully preparing for his future fugitive career.
What's even more heartbreaking is that Wang Yonghong, as a husband, voluntarily became the partner of those who "left their hometowns" in the process of fleeing together with his wife Han Xiting.
They embarked on a long and torturous career on the run, and Wang Yonghong was terrified by the tedious days of living like a year, worrying every moment about whether his whereabouts would be leaked to the police and arrested.
Even though they were forced to live temporarily in a strange land overseas, their poor living conditions far exceeded his original expectations.
The police's investigation efforts gradually increased with a continuous momentum, until the final case came to light, and Wang Yonghong was escorted back to China to accept legal sanctions.
However, the most regrettable thing is that due to this series of twists and turns, his final farewell to his father was permanently missed.
Who would have thought that Wang Yonghong, the business tycoon who was once dominant and dominant in the business world, would now fall into such a situation? He is in prison and his future is uncertain.
However, looking back on his ill-fated life, it is not difficult to find that he has already ignited the flame of greed, and the fall is only an inevitable end.
The fundamental reason why Wang Yonghong fell into the abyss of sin was that he could not control his inner desires. From his earliest entrepreneurial days, he has consciously or unconsciously cultivated that "opportunistic" mentality.
As he accumulates wealth, he becomes more and more arrogant and invincible, eventually seeing money as the only pursuit of life.
At the peak of his career, he had a brief moment of sobriety, generously donating money to the disaster area, and interpreting the "social responsibility of the rich" with practical actions.
However, this act of kindness was only a flash in the pan and was quickly overwhelmed by the temptations of power and money.
In his later years, he trampled on and ignored the law to the point of fearlessness.
As the old saying goes: "When you make money, you forget about benevolence." For Wang Yonghong, he has grown from an ordinary migrant worker to the richest man, but he has neglected the awe of power and the adherence to morality.
Therefore, when the opportunity came, he did not hesitate to take the risk and pay any price. Eventually, he got to where he is today.
Power and money are tempting, but they are illusory things that can be blown away by a gust of wind. Only by being down-to-earth and working hard can we find the path to success.
I hope that Wang Yonghong's lesson can arouse people's deep reflection and vigilance against the "way to make money".
