The vice governor gave him a cigarette, and he could send Vice Governor Hu to heaven.
After two years, the name of "Zhou Gongzi" still makes the majority of netizens never forget, Zhou Gongzi can not only read a few big characters, but also enter the state-owned enterprises in Jiangxi Province, claiming that there are people in the court, and the family is an official, and the lowest rank is the department level.
Speaking of this, it can't help but remind people of the "Page" case in Wannian County, Jiangxi, where Li Peixia, the party secretary of the section-level township, was able to endure the lower body requirements of Mao Qi, secretary of the county party committee, for a long time. If Li had Zhou Gongzi's deep background, there would have been no Page case.
Now, Zhou Gongzi once wrote in his diary in the circle of friends that he handed him a cigarette to beat Vice Governor Hu Qiang, and he was fired.
At that time, Zhou Gongzi's shocking quotations detonated public opinion as soon as they were spread, and I thought that Vice Governor Hu Qiang had escaped the whirlpool of public opinion that was famous all over the country, but now it seems that perhaps he has already been concerned and is in the center of the whirlpool.
Two years ago, the relevant units in Jiangxi responded, "After verification, Zhou Jie is showing off for personal reasons, and there is no such thing as a provincial leader handing him cigarettes."
Two years later, on August 1, 2024, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission notified that with the approval of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission conducted a case review and investigation on Hu Qiang, former member and vice chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, for serious violations of discipline and law.
looked at the report, this Hu Qiang basically did all the bad things, part of it:
Exploiting one's authority to seek benefits for others and accepting money or property in the selection and appointment of cadres;
Failure to keep the bottom line of integrity, accepting gifts in violation of regulations, using authority to provide assistance to relatives and specific related persons in violation of regulations, and engaging in power and money transactions; ("Page" class?) ）
Colluding with unscrupulous businessmen, they alienated public power into a tool for personal gain, used their position to benefit others in business operations and job promotions, and illegally accepted huge amounts of property.
It's funny to say, there are many problematic officials in Jiangxi who are greedy for money, lustful and really hooligans, such as Li Qiuping, the county magistrate who molested a female cadre, Mao Qi, the secretary of the county party committee, who is suspected of sexually assaulting a female township secretary for a long time, and this Hu Qiang "engages in power and sex trading", and there are more in the future.
They are all high-powered, and they have been tested for a long time, but they can't even control the lower half of their bodies, let alone perform their duties impartially and do practical things for the people.
The signal of Vice Governor Hu Qiang's dismissal was actually shortly after Zhou Gongzi's "Vice Governor Hu handed me a cigarette" public opinion broke out.
In July 2022, Jiangxi Zhou Gongzi's circle of friends fermented, only 5 months later, after the change of the Jiangxi CPPCC in January 2023, the name of 61-year-old Hu Qiang was no longer in the list of vice chairmen of the provincial CPPCC, which was regarded by the outside world as a signal that he was about to fall.
Generally speaking, it is normal for provincial leaders who have retreated to the second line to retire at the age of 63, when Hu Qiang was not re-elected at the age of 61, the biggest possibility is that he was not approved after being recommended from above.
Until February 21 this year, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection released that Hu Qiang was investigated on suspicion of serious violations of discipline and law.
I don't know if Zhou Gongzi will be "as excited as a 16-year-old girl to see Wu Yanzu" when he heard that Vice Governor Hu Qiang, who handed him cigarettes, was investigated.
Hu Qiang, the "first tiger" who was investigated in the Year of the Dragon, served in the Provincial Department of Finance since he graduated from his bachelor's degree in 1985, and worked all the way to the director of the Department of Finance for 33 years, including 7 years as deputy director and 10 years as director, and was a veritable "God of Wealth" until 2018, when he was appointed vice governor.
It is rare to serve in a single department for a long time, and after so many years of being a "God of Wealth" in the financial system with great power in oil and water, it is conceivable that the relationship network is deeply rooted, and it is definitely the same existence as a "master".
The God of Wealth of a province, the province's large and small units, state-owned enterprises, are inseparable from financial support, no money can do anything, but often there are five cents in the hand but there are ten mouths, to whom, how much, when to give, aside from the regulations, inseparable from the sophistication.
According to reports, in 2017, Yin Meigen, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Nanchang Municipal Party Committee, led Nanchang leaders to visit Hu Qiang, Director of the Department of Finance, and thanked the Provincial Department of Finance for its care and help to Nanchang.
At that time, Jiangxi State Holdings, where Zhou Gongzi was located, was subordinate to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the Department of Finance was also the leading unit, including the transportation system and the Jiangxi-Guangdong Expressway rooted in Zhou Gongzi's family, which were inseparable from financial support.
So from the first time Zhou Gongzi saw Hu Qiang, "tears came out of his excited eyes", Director Hu handed him a cigarette, and it is estimated that Zhou Gongzi seemed to see that the ancestral tomb was smoking.
But Zhou Gongzi probably couldn't imagine that he, a scumbag who couldn't read a few big characters, was actually the thread that could connect several fallen masters.
In 2018, Hu Qiang was promoted to vice governor, and after that, in 2017, Yin Meigen, secretary of the Nanchang Municipal Party Committee, who had visited him in a high-profile manner, was transferred to executive vice governor, in charge of finance, transportation and construction.
Let's take a look at this line, the screenshots of Zhou Gongzi's circle of friends in July 2022 will ferment, Hu Qiang will not be re-elected as vice chairman of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference in January 2023, Yin Meigen will be dismissed in March 2023, and Hu Qiang will be dismissed in February 2024.
The sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and the above emphasizes the punishment of "fly greed and ant corruption", so that the masses have a greater sense of gain. Make arrangements for resolutely punishing corruption around the masses.
The bigwigs in Zhou Gongzi's circle of friends have been investigated one after another, and the transportation system rooted in the Zhou family will not be an exception.
