扮港商也可騙得十七億元？
24.11.2008 潘小濤
有一宗跟香港有少許關係的國內法庭新聞，看過後讓人難以置信。
主角是只讀了小學的湖北木匠王細牛。不過，這位中年漢，卻憑著一間在香港註冊、登記資本只得一萬元的空殼公司，短短四年間，在國內商場翻雲覆雨，賺了十七億元，還包了六個「二奶」。難道中國真的遍地黃金？
這位假港商的賺錢秘訣，只得一個字，就是「騙」。更奇怪的是，他的謊言其實破綻百出，卻屢試不爽。法庭透露，二ＯＯ一年，王細牛得知寧夏自治區政府準備改造寧夏賓館，於是承諾出資4.56億元，並與區政府簽訂了投資合同。然後，他以扣押招標保證金、騙取銀行貸款及工程材料等，拿到五億，再以高息來公開集資，又獲得三點二億。僅在寧夏，他已得到逾八億元。
問題是，他是如何得知寧夏區政府要改建寧夏賓館呢？是誰給他信息，又是哪個官員決定與他簽定合同呢？法庭沒有說。
之後，王細牛轉戰內蒙古，聲稱要在內蒙首府呼和浩特市的建成「西北第一高樓」，樓高169米，投資額達53億元。當地市政府高度重視，列為07年內蒙古自治區成立60周年獻禮工程。為保證工程進度，剛建成四年的公安局大樓，還有市政府大樓、龍海商廈、第一人民醫院保健樓、公安局三棟宿舍樓等全被炸掉，讓路給此「西北第一高樓」。然而，王細牛的公司自始至終都沒有出資，那個所謂「西北第一高樓」很快成了爛攤子，甚至涉嫌非法集資。到這時內蒙古警方才開始調查王細牛。當時，他已得到各種貸款及集資逾九億元。
更甚者，他用了六個假名登記了張身份證，然後成立了六間空殼公司，並且用每個假名娶了一個老婆。
聽完這個故事，大家是否滿腹疑團，為甚麼這樣一個木匠，能令那麼多大官上當受騙？他騙回來的錢，究竟流向何處。我就懷疑，他是否只是木偶公仔，背後有官方背景的人控制他，否則不可能獲得那麼多政府工程的消息，而那些地方諸侯也不會那麼信任他！看國內的新聞，即使是法庭已判了案的新聞，也不能全信官方的版本呀!
It appears that corrupt Chinese politicians have found a new way to steal from the people. They've gotten smart. Instead of strong-arming the funds and concealing the crime with their authority, they employ a "puppet" to do their dirty deeds. When this puppet gets caught, they are free of any blame.
This case in point involves a middle carpenter with only an elementary school level education. This man, Wang Xiniu, managed to open a shell company in Hong Kong and proceed to con investors into giving him a grand total of RMB 1.7 billion within the very short span of four years. Through forged documents, he has six identities, and six wives to match.
Wang's building investment proposals were obviously flawed, yet they somehow got approved. How did this happen? How did an uneducated carpenter orchestrate such an elaborate plan and actually succeed in its execution? Wang has now been caught and been proven guilty in a court of law. However, no details behind his actions have been disclosed, and the whereabouts of the 1.7 billion yuan is still unknown.
One can only come to the conclusion that there is a higher power behind the scenes. The men behind the man are likely corrupt Chinese government officials. Only they would have the power to push for the approval of such shoddy construction proposals, and only they have the ability to prevent the courts from probing any further into the people behind Wang Xiniu. Meanwhile, Wang, who began as their puppet, is now their deliberate scapegoat. They knew that his ruse was built on sand and was destined to be uncovered. Now Wang takes all the blame, and the people's money will never been seen again.
