China Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau in Luzhou. 5 00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:52,530 My name is Li Zhuo. 6 00:01:53,050 --> 00:01:54,430 They're my colleagues from 7 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,800 the Economic Investigation Bureau of Jiangdong Provincial Department. 8 00:01:56,740 --> 00:01:58,229 According to the newly revised customs law 9 00:01:58,470 --> 00:01:59,870 and the Fourth Amendment to Criminal Law, 10 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,150 you're suspected of smuggling 11 00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:04,620 with the fact that you've applied for false quotas, 12 00:02:04,930 --> 00:02:06,230 by registering several shell companies, 13 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,039 importing steel scrap from overseas 14 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,280 since 1996 until now. 15 00:02:11,250 --> 00:02:13,260 We'll have to investigate and question you according to the law. 16 00:02:13,770 --> 00:02:14,860 The procedure will be recorded on audio and video. 17 00:02:15,540 --> 00:02:16,410 We hope you can cooperate. 18 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,930 First of all, we need you 19 00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:21,450 to provide all the information on the entry and exit customs since 1996 20 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,880 in as much detail as possible. 21 00:02:24,970 --> 00:02:27,000 We went to the north in 1996. 22 00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:30,340 As soon as we got on the train, it started snowing heavily. 23 00:02:30,980 --> 00:02:33,110 It was snowy. 24 00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:38,820 Mr. Wu, 25 00:02:39,140 --> 00:02:40,510 you have always been my boss. 26 00:02:40,730 --> 00:02:43,260 You've been taking care of me since I started my career. 27 00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:45,870 I've been in business with you for so many years. 28 00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:48,090 Mr. Wu, it's a deal. 29 00:02:48,460 --> 00:02:49,060 Take me on board. 30 00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:50,810 I can take 15,000 tons. 31 00:02:51,020 --> 00:02:52,470 When the sun came out, 32 00:02:53,130 --> 00:02:54,720 the snow was dazzling. 33 00:02:55,490 --> 00:02:56,620 But what I saw 34 00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:58,740 was all gold. 35 00:03:00,470 --> 00:03:01,480 I kind of felt like 36 00:03:01,690 --> 00:03:04,080 a great man of the time. 37 00:03:05,510 --> 00:03:06,930 The journey there 38 00:03:07,790 --> 00:03:08,720 lasted for two weeks. 39 00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:10,900 It was just after the New Year 40 00:03:10,930 --> 00:03:12,050 in the north, 41 00:03:12,180 --> 00:03:13,460 and in time for 42 00:03:13,930 --> 00:03:16,010 a festival called “Chris" or something. 43 00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:18,810 This is the way they treat the guests here. 44 00:03:18,850 --> 00:03:20,530 One bite of bread, one bite of salt. 45 00:03:21,470 --> 00:03:22,300 But I know 46 00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:23,860 this should be the highest courtesy 47 00:03:23,860 --> 00:03:25,460 of hospitality. 48 00:03:25,610 --> 00:03:26,850 You have to break it up and eat it. 49 00:03:28,579 --> 00:03:30,260 I've prepared all the rooms upstairs too. 50 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,570 I'll prepare the food and wine for you downstairs. 51 00:03:32,730 --> 00:03:34,360 When you're done unpacking, come downstairs and let's eat. 52 00:03:34,910 --> 00:03:38,470 I thought people there in the north were kind and warm. 53 00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:39,450 I didn't expect 54 00:03:39,630 --> 00:03:41,040 we could be fooled by them. 55 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,990 It cost less than 90 US dollars 56 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,910 altogether, 57 00:03:46,180 --> 00:03:47,480 which is equivalent to 58 00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:49,270 750 yuan, 59 00:03:49,579 --> 00:03:50,600 to ship the steel scrap from the north to China. 60 00:03:51,230 --> 00:03:53,030 While the price of imported steel scrap in China 61 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,800 was 1,300 yuan. 62 00:03:55,620 --> 00:03:56,950 That's a big price difference. 63 00:03:57,850 --> 00:03:59,570 Except for the difficulty to get the import quota, 64 00:04:00,020 --> 00:04:00,770 it was a steady profit 65 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,140 as long as we got the goods. 66 00:04:03,130 --> 00:04:04,170 These are not steel scrap. 67 00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,020 These are quality steel coils. 68 00:04:06,050 --> 00:04:07,660 It's chaotic here in the North. 69 00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:08,610 They mix these with scrap steel 70 00:04:08,610 --> 00:04:10,380 and sell them together. 71 00:04:10,380 --> 00:04:12,140 After you've checked out the contract, 72 00:04:12,140 --> 00:04:12,990 sign it, 73 00:04:13,210 --> 00:04:15,480 and the goods can be shipped out tomorrow. 74 00:04:15,530 --> 00:04:17,100 50,000 tons it is. 75 00:04:18,269 --> 00:04:19,730 When we arrived at the steel mill, 76 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,230 we were shocked. 77 00:04:21,820 --> 00:04:22,960 That wasn't scrapped steel. 78 00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:24,940 It was all good steel coils. 79 00:04:25,690 --> 00:04:27,310 It was a heavy-industrial country. 80 00:04:27,730 --> 00:04:29,480 They were developed in that way. 81 00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:31,070 From a distance, 82 00:04:31,340 --> 00:04:32,420 it was a mountain of steel. 83 00:04:32,970 --> 00:04:33,870 Spectacular. 84 00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:36,150 After being cheated, 85 00:04:37,150 --> 00:04:39,060 me, Wu Jianshe, Qiu Bizheng, Feng Yu, 86 00:04:39,090 --> 00:04:39,670 the four of us 87 00:04:40,820 --> 00:04:41,490 all wanted to go back to China 88 00:04:43,190 --> 00:04:44,040 for the New Year. 89 00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:47,500 But Xu Banxia didn't want to. 90 00:04:48,820 --> 00:04:50,360 She had a lot of debts at that time. 91 00:04:51,380 --> 00:04:52,760 She couldn't solve the problem even if she came back. 92 00:04:53,620 --> 00:04:55,000 So she was ready to risk everything. 93 00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:56,590 Mr. Guo, 94 00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:58,170 forget about the investment. 95 00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:59,140 I don't accept it. 96 00:04:59,610 --> 00:05:00,470 It'll still be my loan from you. 97 00:05:00,860 --> 00:05:01,600 Interest will be paid as usual. 98 00:05:02,220 --> 00:05:02,930 I can take it. 99 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,350 And then the four of us 100 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,790 went back to China first, 101 00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:12,650 while Xu Banxia 102 00:05:13,390 --> 00:05:14,270 stayed there alone. 103 00:05:16,940 --> 00:05:18,020 You know we won't agree upon 104 00:05:18,020 --> 00:05:19,100 the conditions you proposed. 105 00:05:19,390 --> 00:05:20,950 As for the 50,000 tons you ask for, 106 00:05:21,430 --> 00:05:22,340 that's off the table. 107 00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:24,700 She was really lucky. 108 00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:27,310 She met Nina again. 109 00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:29,310 Nina took her 110 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,770 to a port on the Black Sea. 111 00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:32,580 In the mist and smoke, 112 00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:35,350 some big trucks came up to her. 113 00:05:36,540 --> 00:05:37,480 What was on them 114 00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:40,030 were scrap tanks. 115 00:05:42,340 --> 00:05:43,830 What I mean is 116 00:05:43,860 --> 00:05:45,659 let's make money together. 117 00:05:47,870 --> 00:05:49,510 I've placed an order for the second shipment. 118 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,530 It's 100,000 tons. 119 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,090 I hope we can 120 00:05:53,510 --> 00:05:54,220 chip in 121 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,440 and try to consume the shipment. 122 00:06:05,060 --> 00:06:07,480 In those years, there were large quantities of scrap 123 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,440 coming in and out of her yard every month. 124 00:06:14,130 --> 00:06:15,240 And the price of steel was going up all the time. 125 00:06:20,730 --> 00:06:21,780 She made a complete fortune 126 00:06:22,690 --> 00:06:23,820 by this 127 00:06:25,490 --> 00:06:26,490 among us. 128 00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:30,090 Xu Banxia led us to do this. 129 00:06:36,180 --> 00:06:37,330 Miss Xu, Mr. Wu. 130 00:06:38,020 --> 00:06:40,280 It seems that our last explanation 131 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,560 haven't been accepted. 132 00:06:42,540 --> 00:06:44,800 The prosecutor's office has officially filed a complaint. 133 00:06:52,870 --> 00:06:54,210 It's such a big 134 00:06:55,940 --> 00:06:57,080 and crowded world. 135 00:06:59,780 --> 00:07:00,520 Tell me. 136 00:07:01,420 --> 00:07:06,420 I just want to retire to the countryside. 137 00:07:07,390 --> 00:07:09,830 How do I get into such big trouble? 138 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,610 I was hoping that this would pass, 139 00:07:14,930 --> 00:07:16,570 so the company could still come into the market. 140 00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:20,350 Now it's good. 141 00:07:20,690 --> 00:07:21,580 Instead of coming into the market, 142 00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:24,590 we have to go to court. 143 00:07:26,190 --> 00:07:28,330 We have carefully studied the relevant laws and regulations. 144 00:07:29,310 --> 00:07:30,620 As long as all of you, 145 00:07:30,930 --> 00:07:31,820 including Guo Qidong, 146 00:07:32,180 --> 00:07:33,540 can unify your voices 147 00:07:34,250 --> 00:07:35,070 and resolutely not admit guilt. 148 00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:37,840 You can't be found guilty of intentional smuggling. 149 00:07:38,180 --> 00:07:40,750 The court will likely find you not guilty. 150 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,370 But if all four of you plead not guilty 151 00:07:43,909 --> 00:07:45,200 while Guo Qidong does, 152 00:07:45,580 --> 00:07:48,470 and the court finds us guilty of smuggling, 153 00:07:48,730 --> 00:07:52,010 then we will face a heavier punishment and sentence 154 00:07:52,590 --> 00:07:54,920 because of the plea of not guilty. 155 00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:04,130 I have extremely bad luck. 156 00:08:05,540 --> 00:08:06,620 Some time ago, 157 00:08:07,210 --> 00:08:07,990 I was accidentally involved in 158 00:08:08,740 --> 00:08:10,360 the tax evasion. 159 00:08:11,540 --> 00:08:12,220 And now, 160 00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:14,910 smuggling too. 161 00:08:16,650 --> 00:08:17,940 I've been careful 162 00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:21,080 most of my life. 163 00:08:23,090 --> 00:08:25,130 Why should I end up like this? 164 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,950 Who do you blame for this? 165 00:08:29,420 --> 00:08:30,660 You have to thank 166 00:08:30,690 --> 00:08:32,570 the trusted subordinate you've promoted. 167 00:08:33,260 --> 00:08:34,700 From the time he embezzled money from you, 168 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,220 I told you he had a problem with his character. 169 00:08:37,070 --> 00:08:38,549 Why do you still keep working with him? 170 00:08:39,470 --> 00:08:41,880 I should never have taken him abroad. 171 00:08:44,070 --> 00:08:45,190 I'm to blame for this? 172 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,040 If you say so, 173 00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:48,650 I have something to say too. 174 00:08:48,970 --> 00:08:50,970 I tried hard to persuade you 175 00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:52,080 to accept Dong, didn't I? 176 00:08:52,420 --> 00:08:53,220 You wouldn't listen. 177 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,110 I said he's talented. 178 00:08:55,140 --> 00:08:56,560 He has ideals, he has ambitions. 179 00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:57,960 He even read books and newspapers 180 00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:00,470 and watched news broadcasts in prison. 181 00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:02,640 He also made a plan for the steel mill. 182 00:09:02,990 --> 00:09:04,100 You just wouldn't believe me. 183 00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:05,670 You refused to take him on board. 184 00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:07,580 And you even kicked him out of the car. 185 00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:08,610 Who can you blame for that? 186 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:09,630 Now here comes the trouble. 187 00:09:10,890 --> 00:09:11,760 You're still explaining 188 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,600 and saying kind words for him 189 00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:14,580 at this time? 190 00:09:15,310 --> 00:09:16,540 Okay, quit arguing. 191 00:09:20,220 --> 00:09:21,880 In fact, I asked Guo Qidong to come today. 192 00:09:22,890 --> 00:09:24,300 But he hasn't shown up so far. 193 00:09:27,180 --> 00:09:28,400 I think he won't come. 194 00:10:39,550 --> 00:10:41,400 [Are you asleep?] 195
