The identity of the Zhang brothers, who won the contract right of 5,600 acres of land for 4 yuan, was exposed:
It turned out that it was a "middleman" to make the difference, and it was not simple. The Zhang brothers used to be a supplier of Mengniu!
Recently, a storm surrounding a rural land contract dispute in Kailu County, Inner Mongolia has spread on the Internet, especially focusing on a pair of Zhang brothers - Zhang Moulin and Zhang Mouzhu.
The core of the controversy is that the brothers successfully contracted 5,600 mu of land in Shuangsheng Village at an ultra-low price of 4 yuan per mu, but now they resolutely refuse to pay the corresponding fees in the face of huge rental income, which directly led to a boiling "cadres blocking spring ploughing" incident.
It is understood that as early as 2004, Zhang Mouzhu signed this 5,600 acres of land, including a large amount of saline-alkali land and grassland, at a very low price, which was originally agreed to be used for the development of the cattle industry.
What is strange is that although the lessee in the contract is Zhang Mouzhu, it is his brother Zhang Moulin who actually fulfills the payment obligation. After further digging, it was found that Zhang Mouzhu gradually transformed into politics since contracting the land, and has now become a member of the Tongliao CPPCC and a member of the Standing Committee of the Kailu County CPPCC.
In the context of Mengniu Company's entry into Tongliao City, the Zhang brothers keenly grasped the business opportunities and resolutely devoted themselves to the cattle industry. In 2003, they spent their savings to buy 30 acres of land and 23 head of cattle, and with perseverance and technical support and financial support from Mengniu Company, they gradually moved towards the road of large-scale breeding.
- Technical support and training: After Mengniu settled in Tongliao City, it led to a local cattle boom. The Zhang brothers faced challenges in the early stages of cattle farming, but Mengniu provided professional technical training, indicating that there may be cooperation in technical guidance and technical support.
- Economic support: As mentioned in the article, Mengniu also gave the Zhang brothers interest-free support funds, which played a key role in the Zhang brothers' expansion of cattle raising. As an upstream enterprise in the industrial chain, Mengniu has ensured a stable supply of milk through financial support for downstream farmers, and has also helped local farmers like the Zhang brothers grow and develop rapidly.
- Raw material procurement: Although not directly stated in the text, it can be inferred that milk produced by the Zhang brothers' cattle farm is likely to be included in Mengniu's raw material procurement. After Mengniu established a factory in the local area, it inevitably needed a large amount of high-quality fresh milk as a raw material for production, and the Zhang brothers' farm may become one of Mengniu's suppliers after it developed and grew with the support of Mengniu.
The above interpretation is a reasonable speculation based on the information provided, and is not a direct statement of facts, and the specific details of the cooperation need to be confirmed based on more detailed information.
It stands to reason that the future is bright to be able to cooperate with such a large company. Mengniu's entry in Tongliao City has played a positive role in promoting the career development of Zhang Wenzhu and Zhang Wenlin brothers!
However, when the contracted 5,600 acres of land entered the substantive operation stage, Zhang Mouzhu handed over the actual operation right of the land to Zhang Moulin due to the choice of political path.
Zhang Moulin, with his shrewd business acumen, subleased part of the plot to others, charging as much as 700 yuan per mu in rent, and made huge profits from it. This means that even if the 200 yuan that needs to be handed over to the village is deducted, there is still a net income of 500 yuan per mu.
The key point of the contradiction is that in the face of the contract fee that should be paid, the Zhang brothers chose to resist, which led to a fierce conflict between the cadres to block spring ploughing. What is even more concerning is that Zhang Wenzhu's status as a member of the local CPPCC and a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC will undoubtedly have a multifaceted impact on the progress and resolution of the entire incident:
- Influence and authority: As a member of the CPPCC and a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC, Zhang Wenzhu has a certain political status and social influence in the local area. This status means that he has a say in policy advice, political participation, etc., which may make other relevant departments or personnel more cautious in handling matters related to him, and may even be influenced by his opinions or positions in some cases.
- Exemplary role in compliance with laws and rules: As a public official, Zhang Wenzhu should play an exemplary role in abiding by laws and fulfilling contractual obligations. If there is a dispute or failure to fulfill due diligence obligations in the process of land contracting and subleasing, the identity background will make the public pay more attention to the incident and the requirements for the legality and compliance of their actions will be stricter.
- Advantages of communication and coordination skills: Given his position in the CPPCC system, Zhang Wenzhu may have smoother channels and stronger coordination skills when communicating and negotiating with government departments, village collectives, and other relevant parties. However, in this case, if this advantage is not used to properly resolve the dispute, it may raise questions about his use of his status to evade liability or affect the fair handling of the case.
- Government image and credibility: Zhang Wenzhu's status as a member of the CPPCC and CPPCC Standing Committee is related to the government's image and credibility. If the land contract dispute he is involved in is not resolved fairly and transparently, it may affect the public's trust in the local CPPCC and even the government, especially on issues related to the livelihood of the grassroots and the protection of farmers' rights and interests.
In fact, the subleased farmers who worked hard to convert their former saline and grassland lands into irrigated land suitable for cultivation were innocently embroiled in the dispute. Obviously, in accordance with legal and moral principles, Shuangsheng Village should have advocated for an increase in the contract fee from the Zhang brothers, rather than putting pressure on innocent sub-contractors.
The Zhang brothers were closely linked to the "cadres blocking spring ploughing" incident, and their decisions and actions directly affected the trend of the entire incident. The controversy reflects the potential problems in rural land transfer and the impact that status may have on solving problems.
In the future, the public expects to see a fair and reasonable solution, and it remains to be seen whether the Zhang brothers will choose to fulfill their financial responsibilities. In this story about fairness, justice and rural revitalization, every detail is worthy of our in-depth discussion and consideration.
