Back in 2017, when 53-year-old Liu Bo was lying alone on the sickbed of a hospital in Tokyo, Japan, his cheeks were permeated with a pale and weak luster, and his breathing was like nothing, but the sun was still shining outside the window, the sky was blue like washing, and the white clouds were elegantly stretched.
However, at this time, he was already completely skinned, and his life was quietly disappearing.
Liu Bo's vision began to blur, his thoughts were in a trance, and his mind was churning in the depths of his tortuous life. He was born in an ordinary and ordinary family, his parents' education level was not high, and his family was quite poor.
However, Liu Bo has shown outstanding talent and a diligent and studious spirit since he was a child.
Although his parents were busy with his livelihood and had no time to take care of his daily life and studies, Liu Bo was always very strict with himself. During his studies at the school, he was always far ahead of his peers with excellent results, attracting the attention and praise of his teachers.
What's even more amazing is that this teenager is far more intelligent than his peers, so the school made an exception for him to skip a grade many times.
As a result, Liu Bo stepped into the door of Wuhan University, a well-known university, with impressive results at the age of 14. In college, his life path was like the rising sun and shining brightly.
His poem "The Young Bolshevik" was an instant hit and won him numerous literary awards.
After stepping out of the ivory tower, Liu Bo's life path was like riding a roller coaster, surprisingly smooth sailing. At the age of 24, he not only received a master's degree from the Hunan Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but also honorably joined the Writers' Association and became a full member, which can be called a leader in both fields.
With an excellent academic background, Liu Bo successfully became the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. Although he was still young in his career, he used his deep knowledge and unique insights to successfully improve the sales performance of the newspaper and demonstrated excellent business talent.
However, just when his career was in full swing, a small moral misstep made the former scholar embark on the road of no return in life, and finally became an internationally wanted criminal and died in a foreign country.
Although he had already shown outstanding business talent during his tenure at the newspaper, Liu Bo was not satisfied. With rich life experience and social resources, he set his sights on the broader world of the cultural industry.
One day in 1992, Liu Bo suddenly had an amazing idea: he wanted to publish a series of books with profound and significant connotations! The series of 123 volumes contains the essence of China's long and splendid history and culture, and can be called a collection of treasures of Chinese civilization, which is breathtaking.
However, this massive publishing project requires a huge amount of resources and effort. In order to accomplish this feat, Liu Bo put almost all his heart and soul into it. He hired more than 2,000 workers to print this precious series.
In the end, a total of 10,000 sets were printed, and the price of each set of books was as high as a staggering 68,000 yuan!
At that time, the monthly income of ordinary families was only a few hundred yuan, and the families with savings of 10,000 yuan were very few. Liu Bo knows that in order to make such an expensive book gain market recognition, it is not enough to rely on traditional publishing and distribution methods.
As a result, the visionary businessman has taken a unique approach to a new model of "financing sales". He handed over the agency sales rights of these books to the powerful China Construction Bank, so that buyers could pay directly at the bank.
At the same time, Ping An Insurance and Pacific Insurance provided risk protection for the transaction.
This innovative measure enabled Liu Bo to successfully raise 680 million yuan! With this generous financial support, in 1994, he founded his own cultural company, Chengcheng Culture, and injected the "Inheritance Collection" into it as a core asset.
Since the establishment of the company, the brand of "Inherited Books" has been endowed with strong vitality and quickly caused a sensation across the country. The company's stock price also rose, and in just a few years, Liu Bo accumulated a fortune of up to 200 million yuan in Chengcheng Culture.
The originally ordinary book publishing business, under Liu Bo's careful planning, has become a crazy money-absorbing machine. He skillfully leveraged the popularity and value of the Bibliophile brand to successfully obtain a large number of loans from banks, while also reaping significant profits from the company's listing.
Undoubtedly, it was this masterpiece of "The Collection of Books" that propelled Liu Bo to emerge in the field of culture and media and achieved a glorious moment in his career. However, this kind of reliance on capital operation and opportunistic means will eventually make him pay a heavy price.
Career success is certainly commendable, but men will inevitably fall into emotional entanglements in their lives. Just when Liu Bo's career was in full swing, a world-class love affair quietly came to his life.
That day in 2000 can be said to be a prosperous and lively day! Although the 34-year-old Liu Bo was late, he wore a Chinese-style cardigan and stepped on old Beijing-style cloth shoes, and his unique attire stood out among the many business giants in suits and leather shoes.
In the blink of an eye, he became the focus of attention!
At this moment, a stunning beauty approached his sight - that is the famous film and television star Xu Qing. Liu Bo's appearance surprised Xu Qing, however, his casual and unhurried temperament immediately caught Xu Qing's attention.
Xu Qing, who was born in a family of scholars, has loved reading since she was a child, and is full of admiration for those who are talented and cultivated. Liu Bo is not only a knowledgeable scholar, but also a leading figure in the cultural industry, and these qualities meet her expectations for an ideal partner.
What's more, Liu Bo's humorous, elegant and generous words deeply moved this beautiful woman. So, after this chance encounter, they gradually developed feelings and quickly became confidants who talked about everything.
In the process of intimacy, their relationship naturally warmed up and became deeper. Soon after, Xu Qing unfortunately suffered from an eye disease, and when Liu Bo learned of this, he immediately sent her to the hospital for treatment and took good care of her daily life.
In order to allow Xu Qing to wear expensive glasses during her illness, Liu Bo did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy several pairs of highest-level frames. What's even more rare is that he even resolutely canceled all work arrangements in order to be able to accompany Xu Qing at any time to ensure that there were no omissions.
In the face of Liu Bo's sincere and deep love, how could Xu Qing not be moved? When she was fully healthy, the two formalized their relationship and purchased a courtyard house in Beijing as their new home.
However, behind all this seemingly beautiful thing, there is actually a secret hidden. It turned out that Liu Bo had been married for many years and had a daughter, and his wife had already known about the matter.
However, for the sake of her children, she has been silently suffering from her husband's betrayal.
When the truth is revealed, Liu Bo bravely confesses his mistakes to his wife and begs her for forgiveness. In the end, in desperation, his wife chose to divorce in tears.
Although the initial stage of love was not ideal, in that courtyard, Liu Bo and Xu Qing shared three years of warm and sweet years. Liu Bo took great care of Xu Qing and provided her with extremely fine care, while Xu Qing was deeply impressed by his profound knowledge and outstanding talent.
However, fate drew a turning point in their love story one day. Xu Qing accidentally heard Liu Bo showing off his extensive network resources in the film and television entertainment industry to others on the phone.
This made Xu Qing, who had always admired Liu Bo's elegant temperament, instantly see through the secular and cunning businessman atmosphere hidden in his heart.
Once there is a crack in the emotion that once admired each other, it will be like a collapsed black hole, bringing people into endless darkness. Since then, Xu Qing and Liu Bo's relationship has entered the final countdown moment, and finally ended in failure in 2002, and each embarked on a different path.
After his successful career, Liu Bo has become a symbol of rampant material desires and ambition. He managed to amass a fortune with the help of the brand "Heirloom Collection", however, his greed seemed to be insatiable and could not be satisfied.
As early as the beginning of his business, he had already set his sights on the real estate industry, which was booming at the time. With his keen business sense, he earned his first pot of gold in this emerging field.
Once he tasted the sweetness, he began to look around for opportunities to raise further capital and scale.
In addition to his success in the field of culture and media, Liu Bo has also fraudulently obtained billions of yuan in loans from banks through various means. Suddenly, his career expanded rapidly to various fields, as if he was about to reach the peak of his life.
However, greed eventually caused him to fall from the altar, and this old proverb was profoundly confirmed by Liu Bo. As time went on, the debt burden on his back became heavier and heavier, to the point where it was unbearable.
With the exception of the meagre gains from the collection of books and the magazine of hope, Liu Bo's other cultural industry projects have fallen into serious losses. To make matters worse, the introduction of a series of new policies and regulations has further exacerbated the risk of his capital chain breaking.
Soon after, major media outlets began to report on the financial difficulties that Liu Bo was facing at that time. It is reported that he used various means to defraud the bank of more than 4 billion yuan in loan principal, coupled with some guaranteed loans, which made his debt problem more and more serious.
In the face of this major case, the judicial organs took a decisive attack and quickly launched an in-depth investigation. Soon after, they successfully revealed the criminal facts of Liu Bo's suspected L/C fraud! Although Liu Bo realized the gravity of the situation and tried to escape, unfortunately he was unsuccessful, and he was eventually captured by a tight surveillance network!
This once-glorious business empire has now collapsed in an instant, and its ugly face has been exposed. Liu Bo is encircled by numerous crimes, and this matchup will undoubtedly be one of the toughest challenges of his life.
