The overlord of burial in Liaoning monopolized the funeral for more than ten years: robbing the dead to cheat the living, and the price of the urn increased by 105 times. What happened afterwards?
At the end of 2020, the Yingkou Intermediate People's Court made a final judgment, and the defendant Tian Jiulin committed the crime of organizing and leading an underworld organization, the crime of forced trading, the crime of provoking trouble, the crime of tax evasion, and decided to execute a fixed-term imprisonment of 20 years and confiscate all personal property. Other members of the criminal gang were also punished accordingly.
From June 2009 to October 2009 10, Tian Jiulin established Chengxin Funeral Service Co., Ltd. in Yingkou, Liaoning Province, with the intention of occupying the local funeral market. Tian Jiulin lured a group of people to the hospital to violently "rob the body", thus quickly entering the funeral industry. Most of these people are "mistresses" and social idlers, who are familiar with violent activities. Therefore, under the leadership of Tian Jiulin, he won many battles and quickly gained a foothold in the local area.
During this period, in order to win over these violent elements, Tian Jiulin gave them "welfare" from time to time, so that these people could continue to serve and work for him. When some of them break the law and commit crimes, Tian Jiulin will also give money to help them "run away". Through similar means, Tian Jiulin has a group of "loyal younger brothers" who can continue to grow in his company.
Tian Jiulin began to attack other colleagues in the local funeral industry. He forced his colleagues to join his company through threats and intimidation. Even in the business of developing photos, Tian Jiulin should be monopolized. Anyone who refuses to accept it will be smashed with violence. Tian Jiulin dominated the market and finally completed the local monopoly. The whole funeral industry in Yingkou has become the apple of his eye.
After monopolizing the funeral industry, Tian Jiulin began to blackmail the living and make money for the dead. Most mourners don't know what funeral supplies and activities to prepare, so funeral etiquette personnel have a great influence on them. However, Tian Jiulin is in charge of the funeral industry in Yingkou City, and he can increase the price at will. Joining his peers must pay a "membership fee". If someone does not obey Tian Jiulin, he will be deprived of the qualification of "member" or funeral etiquette personnel, prohibited from engaging in the funeral industry, and the commission will be cancelled. This led to ordinary people being ignorant and deceived, but no one in the funeral staff dared to resist him.
For example, on 20 17, Tian Jiulin sold an urn called "a treasure trove of geomantic omen". The cost price of the urn was only 700 yuan, but Tian Jiulin sold it at a high price, and finally it was sold at 74,800 yuan, with the price increase exceeding 105 times. The cinerary casket sales business of Yingkou Chengxin Funeral Service Co., Ltd. increased by 8.5 times on average from 20 1 1 to 20 18. Tian Jiulin raised a huge amount of money through various ways of "buying and selling hard".
With a large sum of money in his hand, Tian Jiulin began to evade taxes again. According to the audit, Tian Jiulin of Yingkou Funeral Home's after-tax profit in 2008-20 18 exceeded 1 100 million yuan. At the same time, he actually controlled other companies except the funeral industry and evaded taxes by more than 85 million.
For his peers, Tian Jiulin often uses violent means. But externally, Tian Jiulin packaged himself as a great good person. In many reports about Tian Jiulin, Tian Jiulin is described as a successful entrepreneur, a great good man who is full of love and enthusiastic about public welfare.
"The family service and kindness he used won the recognition of bereaved families, won the praise of the society and reflected his own life value."
For example, a migrant worker from Shandong died suddenly in Yingkou. Being in a foreign land, he had no money for burial. Tian Jiulin paid to help him organize the funeral, and the funeral expenses were free. He also mobilized employees to donate money to a woman suffering from leukemia and accepted her father as an enterprise employee to solve the problem of living security.
"In the process of commercial services, Tian Jiulin has always set an example with practical actions, driving all employees to lend a helping hand to those in need in a timely manner, and has always insisted on reducing fees for vulnerable groups such as five-guarantee households, low-income households and poor households. Policy. "
Full of sin was covered up, and Tian Jiulin successfully packaged himself. 20 13, 1 1, Tian Jiulin was elected as the "most socially responsible entrepreneur" Excellence Award in Yingkou; 20 14 February also won the fourth "builder's medal" in Liaoning province.
On February 20 19 19, Tian Jiulin Group was investigated by the police. Many people, including Tian Jiulin himself, were criminally detained by Shenyang police, and 10 employees were detained.
In September 2020, 18, the court ruled in the first instance. Tian Jiulin committed five crimes, including organizing and leading underworld organizations, and decided to execute 20 years in prison, confiscate all personal property and deprive him of political rights for 4 years. The remaining 13 defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 6 years to suspended sentences. At the same time, four enterprises in Tian Jiulin were legally recovered for tax evasion of 75.53 million yuan.
There are many similar funerals, and there have been similar "burial tyrants" in Ganzhou, Jiangxi. Zhu, former secretary of the Party branch and director of the village committee of a village in Ganzhou City, illegally occupied the cemetery, and clearly marked the grave in the cemetery area according to the hotel room. Ordinary single tomb, ordinary double tomb, luxurious small roof, 1.75 or above, luxurious large roof, earth tomb, each price is 4000 yuan to 35000 yuan. But in fact, the contract stipulates that residents within the jurisdiction can move their graves here for free.
There is a saying in China that "the dead are the most important". In order to take care of the relatives of the deceased, it is often necessary to bear the funeral expenses. The huge profits of the funeral industry have made some people lose their blood and even formed a complete black industrial chain. Profit also lies in monopoly. Family members must be cremated and buried after death, and they can only choose to jump into the pit dug by the monopoly "burial tyrant".
To break this monopoly, we must improve the marketization, legalization and specialization level of funeral service industry. Improve the access system, attach importance to funeral education, increase the training of professionals in the funeral industry, and prevent the birth of "local tyrants".
After the death of family members, the living relatives are eager to do more for each other, and they all want to make the funeral "beautiful and decent" so that the other party can feel at ease on the final journey. Buried tyrants dare to sell urns at high prices, which also takes advantage of people's psychology. But filial piety is more important than the scenery after death. People should also reduce funeral habits, "pay more attention to funeral ceremonies" and don't leave opportunities for "burial tyrants".
