In 1988, at the age of 14, Zhang Hai was admitted to the martial arts training class of Henan University. It is said that at that time he had "special functions". He can hold the holly leaf in his mouth, make it smaller and spit it out, but the outline of the leaves remains the same.
In 1992, he ran three Qigong classes in Xi'an, Jingmen, and Wuhan, and by 1993, he had taught hundreds of thousands of people. According to the minimum standard of 40 yuan per person for the primary class, 100,000 people is 4 million yuan.
Zhang Hai
When his family moved to Guangzhou in 1995, he already owned a famous car and a mansion, and was an uncompromising rich man.
With a certain amount of capital in his hands, coupled with the fact that the influence of Qigong was getting smaller and smaller at that time, during a public lecture, Zhang Hai announced that he would withdraw from the stage of "Qigong Master" and consider transformation. In 1996, he established Henan Mind Industry Co., Ltd., and the following year he established Henan Bodhi Spring Agricultural Development Co., Ltd.
In 1996, Zhang Hai and two other collaborators raised 100 million yuan to reorganize a financial consulting company under Aviation Technology, which became Shenzhen Kaidi Investment Management Co., Ltd. In April 2000, Kaidi joined hands with Henan Mind to acquire Shenzhen Oriental Times Investment Co., Ltd., which had just entered China Hi-Tech, which was founded by 36 famous universities. In 2001, Kaidi successively invested in Silver Pigeon Investment, Shenzhen Chase and Zhejiang SDIC, and Zhang Hai became a capital market predator.
In late December 2001, Zhang Hai went from Guangzhou to Shanghai to run an errand, and when he was flipping through the newspaper on the plane, he suddenly saw the news of Jianlibao's equity transfer, and as soon as the plane landed, he immediately bought a return ticket and rushed to Sanshui, the headquarters of Jianlibao.
Although all the people were incredulous about his youth, the titles on his business cards calmed them: Chairman of China Hi-Tech, Director of Founder Technology, Chairman of Hong Kong Kangda Holdings, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hong Kong Huide Fund, Legal Representative of Shenzhen Yizhonghe Investment Company.
He also offered satisfactory terms, promising to buy at Li Jingwei's bid, and the company that came forward would be Zhejiang International Investment Trust Company, a state-owned enterprise. As a result, the negotiations moved forward at an alarming rate.
Jianlibao headquarters
In January 2002, Li Jingwei, who was still raising money everywhere, was told: "This matter has been decided, and we have now decided to sell Jianlibao to Zhejiang State Investment Corporation." ”
The next day, a hasty signing ceremony was held at Sanshui Jianlibao Villa, and Jianlibao transferred 75% of its shares to Zhejiang SDIC for 33.8 billion yuan. Li Jingwei sat in a corner of the venue, and it was difficult to hide his lonely look. The next day, his photo of "looking up to the sky with tears" was published on the portal and financial media, and the viewers were all moved
In August 2002, on Singapore's top luxury cruise ship "Virgo Star", more than 1,000 guests from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other places witnessed the debut of 28-year-old Zhang Hai as the president of Jianlibao. At that time, he was young and promising, and everything was under control, which was enviable.
After joining Jianlibao, Zhang Hai gave up the turnover of five or six hundred million yuan, stopped all non-Jianlibao brand products under Jianlibao, and then launched the "fifth season". Under the high-density advertising campaign, the "fifth quarter" achieved sales of 1 billion yuan for the whole year. This made Zhang Hai's confidence burst, and in 2003, he launched a brand new product - "Pop Fruit Vapor".
Launch of "Season 5"
The excessive tilt of Jianlibao Group's resources to new products has made the core product Jianlibao sports drink unconsciously hidden in the snow. Excessive product extension and advertising have blurred Jianlibao's positioning, from a leader in sports drinks to an unknowing beverage brand.
Zhang Hai also carried out capital expansion on a large scale. From the end of 2002 to the beginning of 2004, Jianlibao acquired Northwest Chemical, Henan Pingdingshan Baofeng Wine, Huayi Electric Appliances, Hubei Shuanghuan Technology, invested in 3 football clubs and Jiangxi Jingdezhen Health Industrial Park.
Jianlibao Group began to default on the payment of goods and distributors to suppliers. After that, there was a product odor incident, nearly 200 million yuan of products and tens of millions of yuan worth of raw materials piled up in the warehouse.
In 2004, Jianlibao fell into the lowest trough, although it claimed total assets of 4.7 billion yuan, but the actual liabilities were nearly 3 billion yuan. Considering that there are still a large number of accounts payable, Jianlibao Group is effectively insolvent.
In August 2004, Zhang Hai was "dismissed" by Jianlibao Group. At this time, Li Jingwei had already lost his freedom due to "suspected transfer of huge amounts of Jianlibao assets". It is not ironic that at the end of this year, the jianlibao staff meeting was held, and Li Jingwei, who was still waiting for sin, appeared in the auditorium in a wheelchair. He smiled and waved to everyone, the people in front desperately wanted to shake his hand, and the people behind them couldn't squeeze in, so they clapped their hands behind him.
In March 2005, Zhang Hai was detained. In February 2007, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison in the first instance for misappropriation of funds from his position, and was later commuted to january 2011. By 2013, the court revoked two sentence reduction rulings against Zhang Hai because it involved the fraud of meritorious commutation. After he was released from prison, he has fled abroad.
Zhang Hai never shy away from media attention, but uses his excellent language skills to deal with journalists. Although many times people feel that he has some wrong answers, he insists on a similar confession: "Why did I leave Jianlibao?" Because I was obsessed with the national industry and was not understood, I was pushed out of the game. I have a deep affection for Jianlibao and I don't want anyone to hurt it. If I can continue to realize my dream of being a national brand, and the dream that I did not complete during the Jianlibao period, I will be more serious about being a businessman. ”
