Elimination of steel borer: 19 people were investigated in Kunming Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and related problems were reported 6 times in Angang.

The problem of "relying on steel to eat steel" is diverse, and there are different ways to realize the power of senior leaders and middle and grass-roots cadres, showing typical post-level characteristics.

The Supervisory Commission of the Yunnan Provincial Commission for discipline Inspection recently released news that du Jun, secretary of the party committee and chairman of Kunming Iron and Steel Holdings Co., Ltd. (Kunming Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd.), Li Ping, member of the standing committee of the party committee and deputy general manager, and 19 people, including deputy general manager he Zhijun, were suspected of serious violations of discipline and the law and were subject to disciplinary Another 12 people were detained on suspicion of paying bribes.

The discipline Inspection Commission of Angang Group also held an on-the-spot meeting on procurement system warning education a few days ago to announce and analyze two typical cases of "relying on steel to eat steel". After investigation, Xing Wenyu and Chen Jun of Angang cast Steel Company helped private entrepreneurs resell scrap steel by means of fraud, causing huge economic losses to the country. The two men were expelled from the party and transferred to judicial organs on suspicion of breaking the law and committing crimes. At the meeting, a video of repentance of the people involved was played, and leaders and key important positions were educated and guided to take the case as a lesson and the alarm bell rang.

The Fifth Plenary session of the 19th Central Commission for discipline Inspection proposed that it is necessary to continue to punish corruption in state-owned enterprises and strengthen the prevention and control of integrity risks. State-owned iron and steel enterprises persist in promoting corruption as a whole, vigorously rectify "relying on steel to eat steel", investigate and deal with a number of typical cases, strengthen warning education, deepen the use of cases to promote reform, and promote the high-quality development of iron and steel enterprises. to lay a solid foundation for a good start and a good start in the 14th five-year Plan.

The key links such as material purchase, acceptance and use are the frequent occurrence areas of "relying on steel to eat steel".

On December 18, 2020, Zhang Dade, the former chief engineer of Anshan Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd., was investigated on suspicion of serious violations of discipline and law. Prior to this, six people, including the chairman and general manager of Panzhihua Vanadium Steel Co., Ltd., Zhao Yongping, chairman of Xichang Steel Vanadium Co., Ltd., and Qin Xinghua, former manager of Sponge Titanium Branch, were investigated and punished.

Since last year, Angang Group has carried out a special treatment of the problem of "relying on steel to eat steel". Judging from the investigation and handling of the case, the case of "relying on steel to eat steel" accounts for 39% of the total, and the idea of "living by post" has not yet been completely eradicated.

"relying on enterprises to support enterprises" is a typical problem of corruption in state-owned enterprises. The enterprise "moth" relies on enterprise resources, making use of its power to trade power and money, damaging the public and enriching the private pockets. Among the state-owned enterprises, iron and steel belongs to the industry of heavy assets, with a large amount of investment, high output value, many construction projects and transformation projects, and a large amount of funds in some key links, attracting some internal personnel and suppliers, dealers and other internal and external collusion to make profits.

Meng Zhiquan, former deputy secretary of the party committee of Baotou Iron and Steel (Group) Co., Ltd. who was expelled from the party in October 2020, "regards the state-owned resources in his hands as a 'cash cow' and wantonly runs businesses." take advantage of his position to make profits for others in the aspects of project contracting, product purchase and sale, and payment settlement, and illegally accept huge amounts of property. "

The key links such as material procurement, acceptance and use are the prone areas of "relying on steel". Managers at all levels who have decision-making power, procurement power and sales power are the key objects of corrosion "hunting".

Among the 19 people notified by the Supervisory Commission of Yunnan Provincial Commission for discipline Inspection on April 14 to be examined and investigated, there are current leaders of Kunming Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., such as du Jun, Li Ping, and he Zhijun. Senior executives from wholly-owned companies, holding companies and shareholding companies of Kunming Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., such as Bai Baoan, former chief economist and deputy general manager of Kunming Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. There are middle managers, such as Wang Tao, deputy general manager of the marketing center of Kunming Iron and Steel holding Co., Ltd., and ordinary employees, such as Zhang Defu, a worker in the purchasing management room of the Operation improvement Department of Kunming Iron and Steel Holdings Co., Ltd.

Meng Qingyi, member of the standing Committee of the Party Committee and Secretary of the discipline Inspection Commission of Angang Group, believes that the problem of "relying on steel to eat steel" is diverse, showing typical job hierarchy characteristics.

Senior leaders "rely on steel to eat steel", some hook up with suppliers and make use of their position influence to realize their hidden power for a long time, such as Zhao Yongping's long-term close contact with a number of suppliers, accepting suppliers' vehicles, houses, watches, cash, etc. Some illegally engage in profit-making activities, such as Yan Zesheng colluded with employees of subordinate companies to monopolize the supply business to obtain illegal benefits during his tenure as general manager of Tianjin Steel Pipe Group Co., Ltd. And Bohai Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. Some relatives of leaders use their positions and influence to run businesses in violation of regulations. For example, enterprises run by the wife and sister, wife and brother-in-law of Xia, chairman of a second-level trade union of China Baowu Iron and Steel Group, have conducted business dealings with Xia's unit in violation of regulations.

The middle and grass-roots cadres "rely on steel to eat steel" is more of a "one-case-one-knot" transaction of power and money. Such as doing private work for profit, colluding bids, and losing public interest and personal gain in specific business matters. In April 2020, the discipline Inspection Commission of Angang Group reported five typical cases of "relying on steel to eat steel". Among them, Deng Gengsheng, the then chief of the maintenance machinery operation zone of the equipment guarantee Department of Angang Lianzhong Company, privately accepted the task requested by a related party. Organize five subordinates to do private work for the relevant party during working hours, collecting a total of 25764 yuan. Deng Gengsheng also has the problem of falsely reporting to repair personnel and receiving ordered meals.

Behind "living on steel", there is a chain of corrupt interests.

When Zhao Yongping fell from the horse, many cadres and workers were shocked. In their eyes, Zhao Yongping is capable and kind.

When checking the clues to Zhao Yongping's problem, the investigators found an anomaly in his phone records. "half of the top 10 in his phone records are bosses and suppliers." Angang Group discipline Inspection Commission staff said. Zhao Yongping's address book forms his "circle of friends," which are mostly businessmen and bosses who do business with Panzhihua Vanadium Company.

This "circle of friends" is actually a "hunting circle" of Zhao Yongping. On the surface, the business dealings between these bosses and enterprises are legal, but in fact, most of them make a profit by courting and corrupting Zhao Yongping.

From 2006 to 2019, supplier Liu was taken care of in his business dealings with Panzhihua Vanadium Company and gave Zhao Yongping money many times. In February 2014, supplier Zhao gave Zhao Yongping a bank card with a deposit of more than 130000 yuan in order to get business care from Panzhihua Vanadium Co., Ltd. in the course of dinner, Zhao Yongping was given a bank card with a deposit of more than 130000 yuan.

A prominent feature of Zhao Yongping's bribery problem is that there are few specific requests on both sides of the bribery issue. Because of his influence as a "top leader", Zhao Yongping can take care of some suppliers in terms of enterprise access, project contracting, payment settlement, and so on.

Most of these suppliers contacted by Zhao Yongping are middlemen and merchants, and they have no production capacity. They rely on "leather bag companies" to purchase raw materials for steel production, and then sell vanadium to Panzhihua Iron and Steel Company for profit.

A similar phenomenon of "middlemen earning price differences" also occurred in the case of Yan Zesheng, former general manager of Bohai Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. According to the criminal judgment issued by Tianjin Wuqing District people's Court on the defendant Ji Chengqi in 2020, Ji Cheng was the deputy manager of Tianjin Jintian New Materials Co., Ltd. (state holding) under Tianjin Steel Pipe New Industry Development Co., Ltd., using the influence of Yan Zesheng's position, in the name of others, From 2012 to May 2019, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a chemical raw material, was supplied to its Tianjin Jintian New Materials Co., Ltd. through three other companies, earning a price difference of about RMB 2000 per ton.

Taking advantage of the position influence of enterprise leaders, "middlemen" do everything possible to establish a chain of interests, gain unfair competitive advantage, undermine market fairness, and harm the interests of enterprises.

Take bribes and pay bribes together to find out the risk points and cut off the interests and collude with the black hands.

"relying on steel to eat steel" has exposed some problems, such as the excessive concentration of power in some state-owned iron and steel enterprises, the absence of supervision, and the weak awareness of incorruptible use of power among public officials. The relevant discipline inspection and supervision organizations adhere to the main tone of strict supervision and enforcement of discipline and accountability, strictly investigate corruption cases, identify risk points, and improve the mechanism and system, so as to promote the purification of the political ecology and business environment of state-owned enterprises.

In the special treatment of the problem of "relying on steel to eat steel" carried out by Angang last year, discipline inspection and supervision organizations at all levels investigated and dealt with 300 cases of discipline and law violations such as acceptance of benefits, transfer of benefits, internal and external collusion, and punished 295 people, an increase of 45% and 51% respectively over the same period last year, recovering economic losses of 85.34 million yuan.

In the investigation and handling of cases, the joint case handling mechanism of cooperation between enterprises and localities has played a major role. In April 2020, Angang Panzhihua discipline Inspection Commission and Panzhihua Municipal discipline Inspection Commission signed an agreement on enterprise-land cooperation mechanism, so that the cooperation, communication and coordination between the two sides are more smooth and efficient. The joint case handling mechanism is also reflected in the anti-corruption practice of other iron and steel enterprises. In January this year, the Central Commission for discipline Inspection and State Supervision Commission in the discipline Inspection and Supervision team of the State-owned assets Supervision Commission and the Hubei Provincial discipline Inspection Commission jointly announced that Ji Zhaodong, former assistant to the general manager and director of the office of Wuhan Iron and Steel (Group) Company, was subject to examination and investigation.

To crack down on "relying on steel for a living", we must persist in taking bribes and paying bribes to investigate together.

In the series of cases investigated and dealt with this time, 12 bribers were detained, including metals, minerals, trade, construction, and other fields; Yan Zesheng was investigated, and his associated bribe payer Ji Chengqi and others also went to court on suspicion of paying bribes; in the course of handling the Zhao Yongping case, suppliers suspected of paying bribes were also retained. The decisive retention of bribe payers plays an important role in the breakthrough of the case.

This year, Angang will launch a "breeze operation" to promote the investigation of bribery and bribery and take the initiative to oppose "hunting". Identify areas that may infringe upon the interests of enterprises, such as procurement and sales, outsourcing, engineering construction, and other key areas, and analyze and judge each business one by one in view of the management links with greater discretion, such as single-source procurement, middleman management, waste material disposal, qualification examination, resource allocation, etc. Accurately solve the problems of domination, taking turns, matching seats and so on in the business dealings with related enterprises. Re-sort out the relevant parties and individuals who have been blacklisted, and strictly prevent a makeover from "going back to the old business".

While cutting off the external "hunting" chain, some iron and steel enterprises also pay attention to plugging the loopholes in the system for internal leaders and their relatives to make illegal profits.

Since the joint reorganization of China Baowu Iron and Steel Group, China Baowu Iron and Steel Group has persisted in carrying out special rectification of illegal business operation by relatives of leaders every year. Discipline inspection and supervision organizations at all levels investigated and dealt with 46 cases of "doing business and doing business with enterprises in violation of regulations" by themselves or their relatives, including party disciplinary punishment of 26 people, administrative punishment and organizational treatment of 18 people. To further clarify the control and control objects of the system, for example, it is strictly forbidden to do business with China's Baowu and its subordinate units, such as relatives of leaders directly in charge of China's Baowu Party Committee and key management positions, and enterprises run by other specific related personnel. five batches of prohibited lists have been issued, and a total of 545 people from 603 units have been prohibited from doing business with China's Baowu so far.

We should consolidate the main responsibility of the party committee and urge the leading cadres of party members to perform their duties in a clean and honest manner.

Facts have proved that under the continuous pressure of anti-corruption, there are still a small number of leaders of state-owned enterprises who mistakenly think that they are living in "Xanadu."

According to Meng Qingyi, many of the corruption problems investigated and dealt with by the discipline Inspection Commission of Angang Group since 2020 occurred after the 19th CPC National Congress, which is typical of not reining in and not giving up, reflecting the lax party spirit and principle of some leaders and their indifferent awareness of discipline and law. According to a person from the discipline Inspection Commission of China Baowu Iron and Steel Group, some leaders once said to the discipline Inspection Commission: "since the prices of my (own) enterprise products are low, why can't I do business with China Baowu and participate in the competition?" It is not difficult to see that some leaders do not have a good understanding of the seriousness of the problem of illegal business operation.

The clean employment consciousness of grass-roots cadres and workers also needs to be strengthened. A grass-roots manager of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. who has been in the plant for two years, colluded with the seller in the bidding process, sold the bottom bid, and accepted more than 1 million yuan in bribes when he was investigated and dealt with.

In recent years, discipline inspection and supervision organs have compacted the main responsibility of the party committee, taking the performance of the party committee (leading party group) secretaries of the group and various companies in a comprehensive and strict manner as an important part of inspection, inspection, and daily supervision and inspection, and urged the rectification, reform and implementation of problems, and make good use of the accountability weapon. Pay close attention to the "key minority", strengthen the supervision over the "top leaders" and the supervision at the same level, and routinely use reminders and conversation tips to urge the "key minority" to exercise their rights fairly and incorruptly. The discipline Inspection Commission of Angang Group urged the party committee of Angang Group to regard the special treatment of the problem of "relying on steel to eat steel" as a key work for the whole year, and the secretary of the party committee conscientiously fulfilled the responsibility of the first responsible person, participated in special meetings many times, listened to reports, and gave instructions. China Baowu Iron and Steel Group carries out warning education on illegal business enterprise cases and notifies the exposed cases by name; in view of the problems found through the inspection of problem clues, the group discipline inspection commission issued a proposal for disciplinary inspection to the relevant units.

We should enhance party members' and cadres' awareness of discipline and law, supervise and urge honesty to perform their duties, and promote as a whole that they do not dare to rot and do not want to do so. The discipline Inspection Commission of Angang Group reported 18 cases of "relying on steel to eat steel" six times, made a warning educational film about Zhao Yongping's case and broadcast it to all cadres and workers, and used things around them to educate people around them. Under the awe of the surrounding cases and the inspiration of the organization, a total of 81 party members and cadres in Angang have taken the initiative to report and account for violations of discipline and law since 2021. There are also a number of party members and cadres who take the initiative to report issues such as accepting gifts from management clients, obtaining interest on high-interest loans from relevant parties, obtaining cash from relevant parties, and multi-write-off travel expenses, and so on. The discipline Inspection Commission of Angang Group is guiding the investigation and verification of relevant issues. those who sincerely repent and correct in accordance with the rules and regulations will be dealt with lightly in accordance with the law, and those who attempt to muddle through will be seriously investigated and dealt with.
