I believe that many viewers are very strange: the broadcast time of the TV series "Liu Laogen 2" is 2002, while the broadcast time of "Liu Laogen 3" is 2020, with an 18-year difference in the middle, why is this happening?
And this matter is about the Ant Force God Incident that happened nearly 20 years ago
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > Ponzi scheme fraud of 20 billion yuan, Liaoning 1.2 million victims, Zhao Benshan's endorsement made the scam widely recognized</h1>
"Small farming, drought and flood protection" has always been an ideal investment for Rural Groups in China, and in the calm countryside, many people hope to obtain income through a low-cost breeding, but this makes the willing swindler take advantage of the loophole.
Over the years, companies have cooperated with farmer groups by entrusting pig raising, entrusting chickens, entrusting rabbits, etc., and many of them are fraudsters who aim to circle money.
Looking around the whole of China, the most bizarre thing is that the ant power god ant breeding case that swept through the whole of Liaoning, the entire northeast of the country, 1.2 million people involved, the amount involved in the case up to 20 billion, many people ruined.
The main culprit of this fraud is Wang Fengyou, who was the chairman and general manager of Jilin Tianxi Group Co., Ltd. in Liaoning Province before the crime, and also won the title of China's Top Ten Entrepreneurial Leaders, and was awarded the Shenyang Municipal Government with the commendation of the Shenyang Charity Contribution Award.
No one expected that the ant force god group he led, found the popular provincial comedian Zhao Benshan to endorse, it turned out to be a complete Ponzi scheme, and the target of deception was low-income peasant families.
As early as 2001, Wang Fengyou began to engage in ant breeding business activities, in 2003 Wang Fengyou established the Ant Li Shen Group, launched a health care product called Ant Li Shen, and declared that this Ant Li Shen product is actually ant powder.
Because ants have the characteristics of small size, light weight, but particularly strong weight bearing capacity, in line with the aphrodisiac theory of Chinese medicine, they are packaged as drugs called promoting kidney motility.
Moreover, Wang Fengyou also found Zhao Benshan to advertise for Ant Lishen, and on CCTV, Zhao Benshan performed the line "Who uses who knows", this advertisement suddenly swept the whole country, and Ant Lishen Company also became popular in the entire northeast region, and the locals praised this company.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > with ant farming promised high returns, and the pharmaceutical ingredients were also false propaganda, and eventually jailed</h1>
So Wang Fengyou began his deception plan, because of the external publicity, the content ingredient of Ant Lishen products is ant powder. So Wang Fengyou publicized to the outside world, hoping that cooperative farmers can breed, farmers can breed ants at home, which will be eventually recycled by Ant Lishen Company and given corresponding remuneration to farmers.
However, the premise is that the people pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan, after which the people can raise ants at home for 14 months, and the company will recycle and return 13,250 yuan to the farmers, in other words, the return on investment of this breeding can reach 30%.
Liaoning's well-known star Zhao Benshan endorsement, coupled with CCTV's advertising endorsement, many people in Liaoning have joined the cooperation, and some people even took out hundreds of thousands of yuan to adopt 10 ants in order to obtain high returns.
In this way, the deposit received by Wang Fengyou from farmers every year is as high as billions of yuan, and in the first one or two years, he can also pay the income for farmers according to the contract.
But the reality is that the annual sales of Ant Lishen's products are not so much, and it is estimated that it may only be about 100 million yuan. In fact, the operating ability of Yilisheng Company simply cannot support such a high income.
Moreover, in the process of cooperation, the participating farmers increasingly found that the situation was not right. Because the people who recycle ants in Ant Lishen Company basically do not check the size of the ants, the quality of the products, they directly pay the investment income, and even after recovering the ants, they directly pour them into the garbage can on the side of the road.
This makes some farmers question whether ant-lis products are produced by ants.
The answer was revealed in 2004. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns U.S. consumers that it mentions that Lishen's products contain excessive amounts of ceidofen, an ingredient similar to Viagra and has certain side effects on the heart. Domestic consumers took it to the test and found that in fact, it was essentially viagra ingredients with some starch.
But. Even so, there are still a large number of farmers in Liaoning Province who believe in Wang Fengyou and continue to join the ant farming cooperation, and people's pursuit of the highest return has ignored the emphasis on risk.
Finally, in August 2007, ant-raising cooperation collapsed, and the deposit of the later farmers was used to pay the former's principal plus interest model, which was completely unplayable. A large number of farmers went to the headquarters of Yili Company to protest, but at that time, it was already empty. In the end, it was estimated that the amount of fraud was as high as 20 billion, and the number of people who were defrauded exceeded 1.2 million.
Wang Fengyou was criminally detained in December 2007 and eventually, in May 2009, charged with life imprisonment for contract fraud.

As mentioned earlier, the broadcast time of Liu Laogen 3 is 2020, 18 years late, the reason is that a large number of soft implants have been done for Ant Lishen products in Liu Laogen 2, resulting in after 2007, the image of Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei in the northeast has plummeted, and it has been criticized by ant lishen victims.
After experiencing this lesson, the people in the northeast have also begun to realize that the real investment is risky, especially the kind of investment that enterprises cooperate with farmers, the reliability is not high, so recently, a large number of northeast people have rushed to other provinces in the country for more than a decade to develop their own careers, which is gratifying.
