Frivolous vanity is the victim of a month-long barefoot event, and after devouring everything, it must end up sacrificing under its own greed. —Shakespeare
Good-looking skin bags are the same, interesting souls are one of the best. It is true that in the laws of social survival, outstanding appearance is at some point
Waiting can bring convenience to people, but to really stand firm, in the end, it must rely on interesting souls and strong strength, otherwise sooner or later it will fall on its head.
Gu Chunfang, born in 1972, is known as the "first beauty" of Changshu and once sold cosmetics at the department store counter. After resigning from the modeling industry, because of his exquisite figure and exquisite facial features, he was listed in the propaganda album of Bixi, and his fame gradually spread in the circle.
But on October 23, 2013, such a temperamental beauty was sentenced to death with a two-year suspension, what crime did she commit?
Gu Chunfang lives in a family that is not rich, and she did not study again after graduating from junior high school, because people are beautiful and have always been left and right. She is also really good at using her own strengths, and spends a lot of thought on eating, wearing and maintaining. When she sold cosmetics at the department store counter, her eyes widened and she no longer satisfied with that little salary.
At the beginning of the 21st century, she was in a cosmetics counter, the customers were rich women or rich wives with small wealth, they wore gold and silver, life was leisurely, a shot is her salary for several months, in the store also often heard colleagues talk about the rich people wear brand-name clothes, back brand bags, so that she is also envious, if she can live that life, the people around her will be crowded, she can also enjoy the feeling of the stars holding the moon.
Her vanity fermented rapidly, in order to live a better life, she quit her job, because she often participated in activities when she was a model, she met many rich businessmen, she used her beauty, wandered between these "upper class people", and accumulated resources and capital for herself.
At that time, Bixi Town was also well-known, and then she also founded her own company: "World Famous" clothing store and "Fangji" nail salon. But these incomes are far from enough to support her high consumption, she likes to buy famous brands, especially love limited editions, a bag is more than 100,000.
So she came up with a solution: borrow. In September 2008, with the financial support of several wealthy businessmen, she opened Suzhou Kaiweilong Trading Co., Ltd., and the industrial and commercial information showed that the registered capital of the company was 10 million yuan. Engaged in cement, metal materials, lubricating oil, chemical fiber products, daily necessities, knitted textiles and so on.
But Gu Chunfang does not really rely on these to make money, after all, her business experience is not much, what she is best at is to pull investment.
With the help of the rich businessmen she knew, she bridged her, mixed well in high society, and she used beauty as bait to let these rich businessmen invest in or guarantee her projects.
Because the owner of a department store gave her a guarantee, Hao Wei (pseudonym), the boss of a group in Changshu, lent her 30 million yuan and charged an annual interest rate of 10% to 20%, which is indeed quite attractive, and at the beginning Gu Chunfang will repay the loan on time and repay the interest as promised.
But her ability to make money is far less than the speed at which she spends money, and she often shuttles between cocktail parties, spends thousands of dollars in luxury stores, and splurges to satisfy her vanity, although she does not have a solid family foundation, she also lives a luxurious life as she wishes. Just the bosses who lent her money were not very happy.
Soon after, Hao Wei learned that Gu Chunfang was borrowing at a super high annual interest rate of 35% per annum, and he was deeply unhappy, so he stopped investing and got back some principal. In less than half a year, Gu Chunfang began to default on these debts, and because of the shortage of funds, she raised the annual interest rate of the loan to a staggering 40%, hoping to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
And the object of her loan is no longer those well-known bosses, before she borrowed a few million, tens of millions of yuan, and then no matter who, as long as she is willing to borrow money, hundreds of thousands of yuan she will receive all according to the order.
One of the most astonishing amounts was that a real estate developer actually lent 180 million yuan, when Gu Chunfang joined several real estate bosses to guarantee her on the grounds of developing real estate. But the money was not used for development projects, and was all used by Gu Chunfang to eat and dress, and she also threw villas and famous cars to herself.
In the first half of 2011, civil servant Yang Jian (pseudonym) lent Gu Chunfang 600,000 yuan at an annual interest rate of 35%. He said: "At that time, the return was really good, and many friends around me did get a lot of benefits over the years, so they borrowed it." And Gu Chunfang took advantage of this psychology of theirs, first giving some benefits to temptation, and then pit the big pen.
In March 2012, Gu Chunfang ran away with hundreds of millions of yuan, and after investigation, Gu Chunfang was involved in personal loans of nearly 500 million yuan, and mortgaged more than 100 million yuan in major banks and small loan companies in Changshu.
On March 28 of the same year, the police found Gu Chunfang in Shanghai and arrested her. After trial, the court found that between 2008 and March 2012, Gu Chunfang illegally raised funds from the public by forging false supporting documents and other means for the purpose of illegal possession, fabricating facts, using high interest as bait.
The amount of funds raised is as high as 1.7 billion, and more than 400 million have not been repaid when the case is returned, the amount is particularly huge, causing particularly heavy losses to the interests of the country and the people, and is suspected of contract fraud and fund-raising fraud.
According to Article 224 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, the crime of contract fraud refers to the deception of the other party's property and property in the process of signing and performing a contract for the purpose of illegal possession.
Whoever has a relatively large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and shall also be fined or fined individually; Whoever has a huge amount or other serious circumstances shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; Whoever is particularly large in amount or has other particularly serious circumstances shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or have his property confiscated.
According to Article 192 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China [Crime of Fund-Raising Fraud] Whoever, for the purpose of illegal possession, uses fraudulent means to illegally raise funds, and the amount is relatively large, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and shall also be fined not less than 20,000 yuan but not more than 200,000 yuan; if the amount is huge or has other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than 50,000 yuan, and shall also be fined not less than 50,000 yuan but not more than 500,000 yuan; if the amount is particularly large or has other particularly serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment. It shall also impose a fine of between 50,000 and 500,000 yuan or confiscation of property.
It is understood that due to the huge harm to society, the crime of fund-raising fraud is the only fraud crime in China that retains the death penalty. In the end, Gu Chunfang was sentenced to death and suspended execution for two years.
Although Gu Chunfang temporarily saved her life, it was difficult to leave prison in this life, and all this was caused by her greed and vanity.
