On May 3, the WeChat public account of the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision released "Lian Bo丨The Secretary of the County Party Committee Who Fell into the Trap of Corruption", revealing the details of the corruption of Li Wanzhong, the former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City.
On January 11, 2022, the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision authoritatively announced: Li Wanzhong, former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervision investigation.
He was once the "leader" of poverty alleviation,
but fell under the "fancy" hunt of unscrupulous businessmen
2020 is definitely the most "highlight" year in his life for Li Wanzhong. This year, all 117 impoverished villages in Gulin County withdrew from the poverty sequence, and all 117,000 poor people were lifted out of poverty, passing the national poverty alleviation acceptance with high quality, and the entire urban and rural appearance of Gulin County has undergone earth-shaking changes. Li Wanzhong was also commended by the National Poverty Alleviation Summary and Commendation Conference because of the high quality and high level of poverty alleviation in Gulin County.
Throughout Li Wanzhong's growth experience, he joined the work in 1989, grew into a deputy county-level leading cadre in 2001, became a county-level leading cadre in 2010, and became the secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee in 2014. It can be said that under the cultivation of the organization, he has had a smooth ride all the way.
Since September 2014, Li Wanzhong has put forward five requirements in the county: "resolutely put the party's political construction in the first place, strictly strengthen the party's ideological construction, strictly strengthen the construction of the cadre team, strictly strengthen the construction of grassroots organizations, strictly strengthen the construction of party style and clean government, and continue to create a clean and upright political ecology." In more than 6 years, he led the cadres and masses of the county to make the rural roads in Gulin from more than 1,000 kilometers to more than 6,000 kilometers, and each township has its own supporting industry, solving the situation that the masses mainly rely on going out to work to achieve income because there is no industrial support in the past. However, such a capable leading cadre fell under the "fancy" hunt of unscrupulous businessmen.
During the investigation, the comrades of the special case group discovered that Li Wanzhong was not a person who "saw money with an eye open" and "plucked the feathers of geese." He is cautious, and he does not associate with many unscrupulous businessmen, and most of them are friends whom he considers to be "confidant". One of the construction bosses, surnamed Feng, has been friends with him for 20 years.
Li Wanzhong, former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City: (in) (in) I met when I was serving in Hejiang, when I was the head of the organization department, and the fund-raising house of the cadres of the organization department was repaired by them, and the cadres and workers lived in it, but the money was not paid, they came to me, and then we had a meeting with the cadres and workers and asked them to pay the balance, and this is how we met.
In Li Wanzhong's eyes, Feng and him met in Weimo, who was generous, smart, and very close to himself.
Li Wanzhong, former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City: At that time, (with him) I often bragged together and put up a dragon gate array, and later I felt that this baby still had great potential, and we were about the same age at that time, and he was younger than me. I said you come out and do it yourself, and then he really listened to me, so he came out and pulled a team to do it. He has always been good to me, and he has been going back and forth during the New Year and holidays, and the two of us are really close, and he has everything to do with me.
Fast forward to 2006. This year, Li Wanzhong's father died suddenly in his hometown of Chongqing Zhong County, while Li Wanzhong and his brothers and sisters were all out of town.
Li Wanzhong, former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City: After he (Feng) heard about it, he took a few people to deal with my father's funeral, which really moved me, and I think this baby is still very emotional. That's why I said that no matter what position I was in later, we would support each other and encourage each other.
In November 2007, Li Wanzhong was promoted to deputy secretary of the Jiangyang District Party Committee of Luzhou City.
That is, since Li Wanzhong became the deputy secretary of the district party committee, the relationship between him and Feng has undergone a qualitative change. He accepted Feng's congratulatory gift of 50,000 yuan. Since then, almost every year on holidays, he will receive red envelopes from Feng in various amounts.
In June 2009, Li Wanzhong concurrently served as the director of the Management Committee of Luzhou Light Industry Concentrated Development Zone. Soon, Li Wanzhong took advantage of the convenience of his position to provide assistance to Feng in the contracting and construction of the Zhejiang Textile Park Changping Project in Luzhou Light Industrial Park. And Feng naturally did not forget the "well digger", and sent Li Wanzhong a total of 600,000 yuan in two thank-you fees.
Li Wanzhong, former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City: When leading cadres have power in their hands, as long as they have selfish intentions, they will definitely make mistakes. Because of the power at hand, as long as you do things, you must have a project, and everyone has to drill a project, and you want to do it in every possible way.
In September 2014, Li Wanzhong was promoted to secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee and officially took charge of the party. At this time, Gulin County was being criticized by the higher authorities because of the poor renovation of shantytowns and the construction of affordable housing.
Li Wanzhong, former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City: There is no money, and I can't find anyone to do. So one time when I was bragging to him, I put my situation in the picture, and I said it was too uncomfortable and I was always criticized.
Coincidentally, Feng was working on a local shantytown renovation project. Li Wanzhong pondered, no one did it anyway, so it was better to find Feng.
Li Wanzhong, former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City: The task of renovating shantytowns in Gulin County is very heavy, and a county town is in ruins. I just want to make some political achievements and transform the living environment for the people, and I also want to take the opportunity to take care of my friend and take care of him to do some projects.
In order to ensure that Feng won the bid successfully, Li Wanzhong also hollowed out his mind.
Li Wanzhong, former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City: I did give strong support to these aspects, including the construction model, the overall scale, and how to support him, including how to set up the bidding at the back, in order to ensure the winning rate of the (Feng) enterprise, the threshold of 200 million yuan to enter the Gulin County Government (bidding directory) has been increased to prevent some bosses who have no money from stringing.
With Li Wanzhong's "selfless" help, Feng can be described as "wanting rain and wind" in Gulin County, and in just a few years, he won the bid for more than 2 billion yuan of projects here. And he naturally "reciprocated" Li Wanzhong. In 2017, Li Wanzhong's daughter returned from studying abroad and worked in Beijing. Feng first gave him a car worth nearly 500,000 yuan, and in 2018, he directly took out 10 million yuan to help him buy a house in Beijing.
Li Wanzhong, former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City: My baby came back from abroad and worked in Beijing, and he really didn't have a house to live in. At that time, my brother-in-law was working with him, sending him some materials and doing some engineering. He discussed with my brother-in-law to help my daughter buy a house in Beijing, and later he paid 10 million yuan through the project money.
Feng's "hunting" of Li Wanzhong is a typical "long-term investment" and "long-term fishing for big fish", playing the emotional card from the seemingly reasonable daily trivial things, accustomed daily interactions and other subtleties, so that Li Wanzhong fell into it unconsciously.
They used to be very good friends,
But I never thought that this was the "boiled frog" of unscrupulous businessmen
Another "hunter" Zhang Mou's method is to start with Li Wanzhong's hobby. Li Wanzhong doesn't have many hobbies, but fishing can definitely be counted as one of them. After Zhang learned about it by chance, he often deliberately created a "chance encounter" at the location where Li Wanzhong was fishing.
Li Wanzhong, former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City: The baby (Zhang) at the beginning, when he was fishing, he came to help get something and feed some nests, which seemed to be very diligent, and he became familiar with it after fishing a few times.
Under Zhang's deliberate welcome, the relationship between the two became closer and closer. Every weekend or holiday when fishing together, Zhang will take care of Li Wanzhong before and after the saddle.
Li Wanzhong, former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City: More than a year later, a project is in terms of environmental protection, and he (Zhang) ran to me for the construction of the second- and third-level pipe network for township sewage treatment. At that time, I didn't think much about it, so I picked up the phone and called the county leader in charge, telling him to look for it and introduce him.
In September 2020, after the completion of the project, Zhang gave Li Wanzhong a car worth nearly one million yuan.
Li Wanzhong, former secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee of Luzhou City: I feel safe, but the organization can't find out, so the luck psychology is very heavy.
After investigation: From 2008 to 2020, Li Wanzhong took advantage of his positions as deputy secretary of the Jiangyang District Party Committee of Luzhou City, director of the Management Committee of Luzhou Light Industrial Park, and secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee to seek benefits for others in the introduction of major projects, land transfer, land bidding deposit payment, project construction, etc., and illegally accepted property from others totaling more than 1,300 yuan.
In June 2022, Li Wanzhong was expelled from the party and expelled from public office. On September 1, 2023, Li Wanzhong was sentenced to 11 years in prison and fined RMB 1 million by the Mianyang Intermediate People's Court for the crime of accepting bribes.
