Uncovering the Unspoken Rules of the Construction Industry: Unlimited Risk for Contractors
2021-04-19
When the trustee is the king's contractor, when he runs into a crook, the risk is infinitely amplified...
On April 29, 2012, Jiangjin District Public Security Bureau arrested Liu Hua (a pseudonym) on suspicion of "contract fraud."
They are a circle.
Where there is a construction site, there is this circle.
They look loose, but they are tight.
They are called contractors.
The general impression is that there is a bit of money, no qualifications, and insufficient strength to set up a company. The source of their projects depends almost entirely on "relationships."
The most afraid of cooperation based on "relationships" is "traitors."
The fake contract of 380 yuan was spent for more than a year. In the name of paying the deposit or paying the pre-payment for the project, Banhua District Liu Hua defrauded 7 people with a total amount of 2.576 million yuan.
There is nothing new in deception, even simple, but it has often worked.
Behind this, what are the hidden concerns of the circle?
A fake contract
How can a fraudulent person who is “unfathomable” defraud Jiangjin, Dadukou, Banan, Laoshan and other seven people with a fee of 2.576 million yuan on a false contract of “contracting a certain troop barracks?”
Liu Hua, 45, Nan Pengren, Banan District, junior high school education.
On April 29, 2012, Jiangjin District Public Security Bureau arrested him on suspicion of "contract fraud." According to the survey, from 2010 to 2011, Liu Hua fraudulently took the names of seven people, including Chen Hong and Zhu Lin, for a total of 2.576 million yuan, in the name of paying a deposit or paying upfront fees for the project.
Chen Hong, who lives in Baisha Town, Jiangjin District, has a clinic at home.
In October 2009, Chen Hong met with Liu Hua through a friend's introduction.
In the afternoon of November 2010, Liu Hua knocked on Chen Hong's house.
He brought drawings of demolition and construction of a barracks and walls of a certain army, and the "contracts" he signed with the army. He said he was a little tight and he needed money to make a deposit, and Chen Hong made an appointment with him.
See Chen Hong with some suspicions. Liu Hua went to see the construction site about Chen Hong.
Liu Hua took Chen Hong and her husband to a unit. The office had a blackboard that reads about the construction of the barracks. Liu Hua pointed to the barracks and walls that were being built in front of him and said that this was his project.
"I saw him say hello to the people of the army. It looks very familiar. The fact that the construction site does exist has dispelled the initial skepticism."
Chen Hong signed a cooperation agreement with Liu Hua. The agreement stipulates that the 250 million yuan project of the force and the 11.2 million related projects that Liu Hua has already contracted should be done together by two people. Chen Hong invested 500,000 yuan to work for the business. .
On January 18, 2011, Liu Hua requested RMB 850,000 from Chen Hong for the purchase of Construction Equipment and the need for a communication relationship.
The money was given three times to Liu Hua, 230,000, 270,000, 850,000, for a total of 1.35 million yuan. Liu Hua also returned 147,000.
The "small circle"
The same set of rhetoric: he has won a bid for a certain troop barracks, wall renovation project, invited to cooperate.
Chen Hong’s suspicion was that after the second time he went to the army, the agreement was that a certain barracks was Liu Hua’s project. However, she saw others entering the building on the military building. When asked, the construction of the barracks was not the same as Liu Hua’s. In the slightest relationship.
At this time, she discovered that it was not just herself that invested money. In front of them, Liu Hua received at least four or five telephone calls and urged him to pay back the money.
On February 17, 2012, Chen Hong reported to Jiangjin District Public Security Bureau Economic Investigation Detachment.
Jiangjin Public Security ** investigation found that the contract was forged, and the chapter was also a fake chapter. The victims were not only Chen Hong, but also 6 others.
In June 2010, Pengmou Songshan was defrauded for 197,000 yuan.
In July and October 2010, Humou, Jiajing Town, Jiangjin District, was deceived with 38,000 yuan.
In November 2010, Yumou Jiangjin District was deceived 388,000 yuan.
In December 2010, in Yudong, Banan District, Yang and Zhang both deceived a total of 650,000 yuan.
In January 2011, Jiangjin Desen Office Liu was cheated of 100,000 yuan.
Liu Hua used the same set of rhetoric: he had won a bid for a certain troop barracks and wall reconstruction project and invited him to cooperate.
Liu Hua was not a first-time offender. In 1997, because of fraud, Liu was sentenced to one year; in 1998, Liu, who had just been released, was swindled for one year because of fraud.
On April 29, Liu Hua was arrested according to law and confessed.
Unspoken rules
"If you don't have a relationship, you can't do the project. This is already a recognized unspoken rule in the construction industry."
The means of defrauding is not smart and the cost is extremely low - Liu Hua confessed that this false contract only cost 380 yuan.
Why was it possible for 7 people to be deceived a total of 2.576 million yuan?
And this kind of corruption emerged in an endless stream.
Baidu search contract fraud case, 902000 search results.
Google search contract fraud, 1980000 search results.
Only Jiangjin District Economic Investigation Detachment received a similar number of cases in 2012.
Behind this frightening data, what kind of password is hidden in the end?
Almost the same pattern: I'll do it for you, you give me a margin, and we divide it into benefits.
"Pretend to be a force project or a railway mine or other large project. These projects exist. The impersonated company is also existent. It has nothing to do with the fraudsters. The fraudsters generally take fake contracts, seal seals, forged signatures, etc. Means to make people believe that they got the project. Most of the deceived are small contractors, the characteristics of the hands of money, but no formal company, find a project, find a unit to call.” Jiangjin District Public Security Bureau Economic Investigation Detachment ** He police officer said.
"There are many contract fraud cases in these years, and more than 80% of them are in the form of such false projects."
Helpless "cluster"
Their common characteristics are: a little money, no qualifications for construction, insufficient strength to set up a company, obtaining contracts for some projects through relations, and then organizing the construction of migrant workers.
Until now, Zhu Lin, the wife of another deceived Liu, could not believe that his 100,000 pieces had been "fated."
"There have been more than 10 years of friendship with Liu Hua. In the past, I worked as a reinforcement at the same site. He did concrete."
In her opinion, over the past 10 years, informal construction contracting has formed a small circle. This “circle” refers to
It is the scattered contractor who does not have a professional title in the construction industry.
Their common characteristics are: a little money, no qualifications for construction, insufficient strength to set up a company, obtaining contracts for some projects through relations, and then organizing the construction of migrant workers.
The source of the project is almost entirely dependent on the introduction and cooperation of its peers.
Liu Yi, who has been a contractor for fifteen years, talks about the operation mode:
“It is generally a construction company that first bids, and after obtaining the project, we contract low-cost contractors to us for these small foremen. Some of the slightly larger projects can't be done if they can't.
This is almost a uniform model for the operation of scattered contractors.
Therefore, when Liu Hua presented a forgery contract and told the deceiver that the project was too large for a person to do and invited him to a partnership, most people did not express doubts.
Liu Hua told Zhu Lin that she wanted to pay 100,000 yuan for a relationship. She did not have any doubts.
"If you don't have a relationship, you can't do the project. This is already a recognized unspoken rule in the construction industry." Liao Yi said, "How to form a reliable relationship is either a relative or a "buddy" based on money. ”
Trust or not?
Because they are all "tightrope," the trust between contractors is extremely important.
“Not the regular army, which has been especially strong in the highly competitive construction industry. The trust of friends and acquaintances around us is the only bargaining chip. Without these relationships, we can’t get the project. We want to make more money for ourselves. You have to establish a good relationship with your peers. This time you give me a bit to eat, and next time I get a big project you have to eat.” said Luo Yi.
Because they are all "tightrope," the trust between contractors is extremely important.
"Strangers are not very good in this circle. They can only enter at a low price. Usually, everyone is on the telephone, where there are construction sites, reinforcements, concrete, etc. All of you are together, so basically this circle is It is an acquaintance.” In fact, the relationship between the seven people who were cheated and Liu Hua had either been previously worked together or was introduced by friends. In short, “everyone is an acquaintance.” Zhu Lin said.
"Advance project deposits, this is already established in the construction industry's 'regulations'. "Liao Yi said.
“In the circle, who said that they would have to pay for engineering deposits to borrow money, they would all be called directly to each other. Everyone would talk about credibility and did not consider being deceived.” Zhu Lin’s business is a steel project for contractors and has done more than a dozen year. In the meantime, I borrowed money from others and I couldn't remember how much money I had borrowed for others. "The other party will pay immediately, and everyone will say good reputation."
Is this credibility really reliable? Zhu Lin was silent for a while.
Missing piece
"Private has funds but lacks investment channels. It is very important for people to invest in healthy channels."
“We are also very cautious, but this industry is indeed a mixed bag of people. The level of education is generally not high.” The seven individuals deceived by Liu Hua, almost all junior high school, primary school culture.
“The contractor has special skills, but the general level of education is not high, rely on interpersonal relationships, hands have a certain amount of money, after the contract construction project team is basically a migrant workers team, most have not passed the skills training Many of them rely on experience in construction," said Liao Yi.
Accompanied by the thinness of the legal concept. After getting the project through interpersonal relationships, many “contractors” believed in “relationships” as “golden rules,” and evaded the law.
"Difference in precautions, eager to do the project, only think of the high profits brought by the project, and his false contract was verified without verification." The victim said that he was deceived 388,000 yuan.
“Private has funds, but lacks investment channels, and the high returns and high profits of the construction industry often make deceivers tempted. They will not be able to discern, but only think of high returns, and they will only plant them in. Therefore, from this perspective, it is for people’s health. The investment channel is very important," said police officer.
“In addition, in addition to the awareness of the parties concerned, the transparency of the project construction will also increase, such as regularly publishing the project tendering situation to the public and creating an open and fair environment. It is also necessary to increase supervision over the signing of construction contracts to prevent the emergence of multiple hair bags. Or the phenomenon of ineligibility to send out packages appears, and law enforcement departments must increase their crackdown on such fraudulent crimes."
Chen Hong is reducing his own expenses in order to repay the 600,000 yuan borrowed by relatives and friends at an early date.
Other victims also regret it.
In the Jiangjin District Detention Center, the police officer asked about the whereabouts of Liu Hua’s fraudulent funds.
Liu Hua's eyes flashed, showing some cramps, and his tone was vague.
"Where are the cheating money?"
"Run out, squander."
"Why are you kidding people?"
"Easy to get trust."
"Is there any thought of cheating?"
"have not thought."
If you don't have a relationship, you can't do the project. This is already a recognized unspoken rule in the construction industry. Where there is a construction site, there is this circle. They look loose, but they are tight. They are called contractors.
