On April 19, 2017, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed at a press conference that Interpol had issued a red wanted order to suspect Guo Wengui, that is, a "red notice". On the Hurun Rich List, the Guo Wengui family ranks 74th, and the "Pangu Club" led by him once gathered multiple high-ranking officials and tycoons, interweaving an unimaginable network of interests.
Guo Wengui and his related personnel are suspected of multiple crimes, including misappropriation of funds, loan fraud, foreign exchange fraud, illegal detention, destruction of accounts and accounting vouchers, infringement of privacy, etc. Some of the huge funds seized were transferred overseas through underground banks. The "Pangu Conference" led by him once gathered multiple high-ranking officials and tycoons, including former Deputy Minister of National Security Ma Jian, former Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee Zhang Yue, and others, interweaving an unimaginable network of interests. In the business world of Beijing, Guo Wengui is known as the "God of War" and "Pirate of the Caribbean". The protection of power is like a destroyer escorting Guo Wengui in the commercial sea, making him the invincible "God of War" wandering in the dark.
Guo Wengui galloped freely in the capital market, inseparable from two influential figures, Ma Jian and Zhang Yue, who were former Deputy Minister of National Security and former Standing Committee Member and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Hebei Province. Under the guise of "national security" and political and legal power, Guo Wengui always faces danger and often achieves success. The New Beijing News reporter exclusively obtained a 28 minute confession video from Ma Jian. Ma Jian stated that he met Guo Wengui through work around 2006, and from 2008 to 2014, he provided assistance to Guo Wengui multiple times. Guo bribed him with a total value of approximately 60 million RMB. Ma Jian stated that around 2008, Guo Wengui increased the plot ratio while constructing the office building at Jinquan Square, and the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission will impose penalties on illegal buildings. According to the highest punishment regulations, these buildings can be demolished, and Guo Wengui will face losses of several hundred million yuan as a result. He sent someone in the name of the Ministry of National Security to send a letter to the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission, hoping that the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission will handle the situation in accordance with the law without seriously affecting the interests of Guo Wengui's company. The Beijing Municipal Planning Commission reported the situation to the then Deputy Mayor of Beijing. After approval, only a fine was imposed on Guo, which saved Guo Wengui hundreds of millions of yuan in losses.
Around 2010, Guo Wengui reported to the security department that a senior executive named Qu Long had helped him hold some assets, but Qu Long not only refused to return these assets but also extorted Guo Wengui. Ma Jian sent representatives to Hebei to report verbally to Zhang Yue, a member of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Soon, Zhang Yue decided to file a case with Chengde Public Security. In order to make Hebei more legitimate, Ma Jian sent a letter to the Hebei Provincial Public Security Department in the name of the Ministry of National Security, explaining that Guo Wengui had a working relationship with the security department and had made contributions to national security work. Later, the case was officially filed and Qu Long was arrested. In the end, Qu Long was sentenced by the Chengde Court. 15 years imprisonment. In the end, Guo Wengui succeeded in his wish, forcing all competitors to retreat and allowing Ethnic Securities to fall into his pocket.
Guo Wengui used his own means to maintain his complex network of relationships, so that he could be like a fish in water in the officialdom. Little did he know that this was a disguised corruption of himself. When energy particles at a certain node gathered together, they would eventually explode, and by then it was already too late to regret.
