(Original title: Mou Qizhong made his first public appearance after he was released from prison. He recalled the old department and established the Nande Rehabilitation Group)
Mou Qizhong when he was just released from prison.
This is Mou Qizhong’s first public activity since he was released from prison on September 27th last year.
On the afternoon of June 16th, the "Gonghe Fund 2016 Award Ceremony of Gonghe People" hosted by the Gonghe Fund of China Social Work Development Foundation was held in Beijing.
Mou Qizhong and Xia Zongwei were jointly nominated for the 2016 public and annual figures.
"If you write a folk version of China’s contemporary history, there must be a story of Mou Qizhong." This is the first sentence of Mou Qizhong’s nomination reason for winning the prize.
At the awards ceremony, the arrival of these two people caused a stir, and many admirers came to greet and take photos.
Mou Qizhong said that he needs to tell the outside world what he has done since he was released from prison for nine months. The most important thing is to "resume his career" and revive Yugoslavia.
Earlier, on March 27th, Mou Qizhong chose the day when she was released from prison for half a year, as the beginning of her resumption of work. On this day, a seminar on intelligent and civilized production mode in Nande was held in a hotel in Mentougou District, Beijing.
It’s only a 10-minute walk from Nande Dormitory in Mou Qizhong. On January 7, 1999, Mou Qizhong was arrested from this dormitory building on the way to the office of Nande.
Among the more than 80 people who attended the seminar that day, there were several old employees of Nande. Now they have a new identity as "members of the preparatory group for the resumption of business in Nande", and the leader is naturally Mou Qizhong.
"Starting from scratch again and succeeding again will prove that my theory is correct." Mou Qizhong said, glories and legends are in the past.
1. Debut
"His story lies in his wonderful thinking."
Before that, many forums and conferences had expressed their wish to invite Mou Qizhong to attend, but they were all turned away by him.
Regarding the nomination of the person of the year, Mou Qizhong told Xia Zongwei frankly that what he valued was not the nomination, but because the organizers of this conference had old friends whom he had trusted for many years. He wanted to thank a trust that he had never given up for decades, and he valued the public welfare of the foundation.
"Public welfare, which is consistent with his temperament." Xia Zongwei said.
In the award speech, the deeds of this "business godfather" were summarized: If you write a folk version of China’s contemporary history, there must be a story of Mou Qizhong. His story is not only a legend that survived several times, or a groundbreaking handwriting, but also his extraordinary thinking ability, which has been trying to break through the prison of thought; His whimsical ideas always break through the limits of the flesh. Today and in the future, China society will always need to burst Himalayan imagination and will.
Of course, people have not forgotten Xia Zongwei. The reason for Xia Zongwei’s election is: "No matter whether he is prominent or in trouble, Xia Zongwei is his most loyal supporter. Although thousands of people have gone, this courage is comparable to the spirit of Mou Lao."
At the awarding ceremony, everyone saw the arrival of Mou Qizhong and Xia Zongwei, and many people came forward to greet them.
Since he was released from prison, Xia Zongwei has been trying to make Mou Qizhong keep a low profile. When he goes out to meet people, he will try to arrange them in a place where he can keep private, and he will wear a hat when he appears in public places.
2. Resume business
"We are willing to return to Nande again."
The headquarters building of Nande in those days.
The current situation of the headquarters building in Nande in those days. The tenants upstairs have already changed several times. Most people don’t know the story of Mou Qizhong being here.
Xia Zongwei said that the resumption of business activities of Nande Group began after Mou Qizhong settled in Beijing.
From November 17th to 19th last year, Mou Qizhong held a forum for representatives of old employees from all over China.
After this symposium, Mou Qizhong formally established the "Preparatory Group for the Resumption of Business in South Germany". On New Year’s Day this year, Mou Qizhong also issued a New Year’s Day message on behalf of the group.
At that time, many of these employees were in their twenties and thirties when they entered Nande. They were full of energy and were entrusted with heavy responsibilities by Mou Qizhong. Many of them stuck to the last moment of Nande.
Li Fugeng, president of the former research institute of Nande Group, said: "It is not easy to meet again after nearly 20 years. We respect Mr. Mou Qizhong very much."
After the return of many old Nande employees, the words "members of the preparatory group for the resumption of business in Nande" were uniformly printed on their business cards.
Xia Zongwei said that when he was still in prison, Mou Qizhong often chanted the poem of Marshal Chen Yi: Go to Quantai to recruit the old troops, and fight Yamaraja with a hundred thousand banners.
Wang Deguo, who was the general manager of Nande Satellite Company, said: "Because of our trust in General Mou, we are willing to return to Nande again. In fact, many of us have our own careers after leaving Nande. "
In addition to the old employees, Mou Qizhong also found some new people to join.
A Shanghai investor, in order to go to Mou Qizhong, changed the legal person of three mature companies and diluted their shares, just to be able to follow Mou Qizhong freely.
Before Mou Qizhong was released from prison, Xia Zongwei once imagined that it would be nice if he could spend his old age like an ordinary old man, so that she could "retire" herself after she settled him down.
Mou Qizhong is not destined to be a quiet person.
After he was released from prison, Mou Qizhong told Xia Zongwei many times that he even missed the time in prison, which was a "study-style" time for him. In prison, he systematically reflected and summarized the past, but now he is too busy to have time every day.
Mou Qizhong also took Chen Duxiu’s article "Research Room and Prison" as an example, saying that there are only two places in the world that produce civilization and ideas, science research room and prison. "From this perspective, prison is a good place for me." Mou Qizhong said.
3. Start.
"The only thing I can do is to fight for my life."
Now, in the living room of Mou Qizhong’s Beijing apartment, someone reports his work progress every day. After a short thought, he will still give an unquestionable answer like that.
The real starting point for the resumption of business is March 27th.
This day is a special day for Mou Qizhong, when he was released from prison for half a year.
Since the first day of his release from prison on September 27th last year, Mou Qizhong’s only thought was how to resume her career.
On March 27th, a seminar on intelligent and civilized modes of production in Nande was held in Mentougou District, Beijing. More than 80 participants came from entrepreneurs all over the country. During the four-day session, Mou Qizhong spoke for half a day continuously every day.
After half a year’s thinking and preparation, on March 27th, a seminar on intelligent and civilized production mode of Nande was held in Mentougou District of Beijing. More than 80 participants came from entrepreneurs all over the country, including returnees and businessmen from Hong Kong and Macao.
During the four-day session, Mou Qizhong spoke for half a day continuously every day.
"What I want to talk about is where she came from, where she is going, and what her goal is." On the first day, Mou Qizhong was enlightened.
Although he is nearly 77 years old, Mou Qizhong has a quick mind and amazing memory, and his viewpoints of Marx, Fukuyama, Clark and other economic and historical scholars are readily available, which makes many entrepreneurs in the audience amazed.
As the sole agent of Mou Qizhong in the past 16 years, Xia Zongwei commented on Mou Qizhong: "He is running in front of his mouth. Although many of his ideas are unconstrained by the outside world, he has his own logic and proof."
Nande Group bought 264 houses in Mentougou as staff quarters. After Mou Qizhong was arrested, these houses were auctioned by several different courts.
The seminar was held only 10 minutes’ walk from the dormitory of employees in Mou Qizhong and South Germany. On January 7, 1999, Mou Qizhong was arrested on the way from this dormitory to the office of Nande.
"After 18 years in prison, I never stopped thinking," Mou Qizhong said. "I kept exercising and studying in prison in order to keep up with the pace of progress. In the past six months, I have been thinking about how to revive Nande every day, and whether it can create a more brilliant career. "
Mou Qizhong said that the first thing he thought about when he left prison was how to push the cause of South Germany to a higher peak and a larger scale.
In 2004, Mou Qizhong once said to a visiting friend, "My only regret is that I was forced to terminate the experiment and research on the mode of production in the era of intelligent civilization. I’m over sixty, and time is precious, but I can only waste my time in prison. My greatest wish is to continue my experiment after I go out. I believe I can come back. "
When Mou Qizhong was released from prison, Xia Zongwei also said in an interview with a cover journalist: "For him, there is no more time cost. Steady progress is the most important thing. "
The three prison terms add up to 23 years and 3 months, so it can be said that Mou Qizhong spent his best years in prison.
"The only thing I can do is to fight for my life. Why else should I exercise? " Mou Qizhong said.
Today, Mou Qizhong still keeps his schedule and exercise style in prison.
4. Find your way
In the name of people is a must for every episode.
In Mou Qizhong’s own view, it is difficult to adapt to society after he is released from prison, but it is even more difficult to judge the situation.
Some time ago, Mou Qizhong watched almost every episode of the in the name of people fire. "This is an artistic embodiment of the current anti-corruption situation," Mou Qizhong said.
After he was released from prison, Mou Qizhong went to Shanghai and stood in the Shanghai World Financial Center overlooking Shanghai.
After being released from prison on September 27th, 2016, Mou Qizhong returned to his hometown in Wanzhou from Wuhan, then went to Chongqing, Chengdu, Shanghai and other places, and finally settled in Beijing. This route is also the route that Mou Qizhong left Wanzhou to open Nande Group more than 30 years ago.
After 18 years in prison, Mou Qizhong followed this road to observe the active areas of China’s economy.
Now, Mentougou is chosen as the starting place for the third venture. On the one hand, it may be for "where to fall and where to get up". On the other hand, for Mou Qizhong who likes "Beijing style", Mentougou is in a position of "upper hand and upper water" in Beijing.
While observing along the Mou Qizhong, one thing Mou Qizhong did at the same time was to meet people and collect information from outside. "I meet different people almost every day, including entrepreneurs, scholars and fans who come here." Xia Zongwei said.
Mou Qizhong said that he would test his judgment of the present by talking with different people.
Mou Qizhong was desperate for information, and he attributed his success to his grasp of all kinds of information. Today, he still regards the acquisition of information as a main job.
As early as 1995, Mou Qizhong came into contact with the Internet for the first time when he took Nande satellite to Wall Street in the United States to look for listing opportunities. At that time, Mou Qizhong asked people around him: "Can we get everything on the Internet, even bread?"
After returning to Beijing, Mou Qizhong immediately bought the Reuters terminal. At that time, 2,000 pieces of Reuters news were constantly updated on the electronic big screen in the lobby of Nande Building every day. At the same time, Nande laid a special optical cable for Internet access, which was the second unit in China to lay such optical cable after Institute of High Energy of Chinese Academy of Sciences at that time.
In prison, Mou Qizhong kept a lot of reading habits. After half a year’s contact with the outside world, although Beijing is no longer his impression of Beijing, from the perspective of information circulation, Mou Qizhong doesn’t think he is out of touch with society. On the contrary, he thinks that people outside have less information than he has.
For the constant meeting, Mou Qizhong also has a selfishness, that is, he hopes to find young people who can start a business with him again.
5. Mission
"We live in a golden age"
When he first got out of prison, Mou Qizhong said that he knew all about smart phones and WeChat, but he just couldn’t use them. He said that to learn to use a mobile phone, you have to apply for a micro-signal.
Keeping the habit of collecting scientific and technological information, Mou Qizhong has a strong interest in artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and other emerging technologies after he was released from prison.
In April this year, Li Yanhong published the book "Intelligent Revolution". After reading the whole book, Mou Qizhong was very interested in the preface "Dawn of AI Era" written by Liu Cixin.
In the preface, Liu Cixin wrote: "This is the real liberation of mankind and a big step towards the ancient utopian ideal. 2016 is the 500th anniversary of the publication of Utopia, but Thomas and Moore never thought that his ideal would be realized by intelligent machines. I am very interested to think, if Karl Marx knew about artificial intelligence, what would his theory about capitalism and communism look like? "
For this question of science fiction writers, Mou Qizhong solemnly said: "The Nande Experiment has been trying to answer such an epoch-making question."
Mou Qizhong’s discourse system is full of exposition of the background of the times. He constantly stressed that his experience followed China’s reform process, and everything he did would be meaningless if he abandoned the background of the times.
As the "richest man" in those days, Mou Qizhong lived in the same house as ordinary employees, only two suites were opened. In addition to piles of books, there was only an old treadmill given by others in the room.
In his personal life, Mou Qizhong is a minimalist, and he likes to eat noodles and hot pot. In his view, "these two kinds of food are convenient to cook and can be eaten when cooked."
It is hard for Mou Qizhong to understand that some people spend tens of thousands of dollars on a meal, and even think that they are pitiful.
"People have to have a mission when they are alive. If I can’t move after I get older, I won’t drag everyone down." When talking about feelings with visitors, Mou Qizhong said so.
In nine months, many people hope to get Mou Qizhong’s advice and help, or even just hope to meet him to solve their doubts.
Some agricultural entrepreneurs from Henan hope to use the name and brand of Mou Qizhong to create a second project similar to Chu Shijian’s "Chu Orange"; There is also an entrepreneurial loser from Chengdu, who was at the lowest point of his life when he met Mou Qizhong because of his third entrepreneurial failure. But after listening to Mou Qizhong’s words, I regained my confidence again.
A 90-year-old from Shenzhen came to Beijing just to see Mou Qizhong. "I didn’t know him before, but after seeing the news that he was released from prison, I searched all his experiences. I think this is a legend." The post-90 s Shenzhen said.
Many people asked Mou Qizhong why he insisted on going to prison again and again. In this sense, Mou Qizhong said that he thought his three times in prison had special significance: the first time he went to prison was to fight for the birth right of private enterprises, the second time he fought for the survival right of private enterprises, and the third time he fought for the development right.
Because of this "sense of mission", when Mou Qizhong was in prison, he disdained to associate with several bosses of private enterprises who were held together in the same prison. In his view, some people were selfish and lacked justice.
When evaluating himself, Mou Qizhong is willing to quote Guo Moruo’s words: "There is such a person in this era; There is such a person who lives in such an era. "
In the face of confused visitors, Mou Qizhong said the most: "It is difficult for a person to meet such an era. We live in a golden age. Don’t be confused and don’t be discouraged."
Obviously, Mou Qizhong wants to recreate an era that belongs to him.
For visitors, Mou Qizhong’s sentence "Life can last for over a hundred years, so why not be crazy and then be a teenager" is more like an inspirational life motto.
6. Thinking
"I thought about it in prison for 18 years."
"At 4 pm on February 18th, 1992, a brand-new Figure 154 plane landed smoothly at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport, which was the third trunk plane obtained by Sichuan Airlines. At this time, the fourth plane is being assembled in kuibyshev Aircraft Factory, 5000 kilometers away, and thousands of tons of China goods are being shipped to Moscow.
Incredibly, it was a private entrepreneur, Mou Qizhong, who planned the biggest one-way barter trade between China and Russia. "
This is the first sentence of the article "Let 99-degree water boil as soon as possible" published by Economic Daily on April 8, 1992.
After this airplane trade, Mou Qizhong put forward his "99-degree plus 1-degree theory", that is, social stock assets are like water that is burned to 99 degrees, and it can be boiled by adding 1 degree. This degree is the wisdom economy of him and South Germany.
Mou Qizhong said to Xia Zongwei, "No matter how good the theory is, it still needs to be tested by practice. Unlike those economists and theorists, I have discovered a set of theories myself, and I can prove it myself. "
Liu Zhongzhi, who met Mou Qizhong in the 1970s, said that Mou Qizhong’s one-degree theory is actually similar to that of internet plus today. The stock of traditional economy is already very large, and it only needs a little push to generate huge energy. For example, the current bicycle and the Internet of Things will become bike-sharing.
Regarding the "intelligent and civilized mode of production", Mou Qizhong insisted that he had discovered a "new law". Mou Qizhong said that after he was released from prison, he would continue his experiment in Nande and practice the wisdom-centered mode of production on a larger scale.
As early as 1996, Mou Qizhong published the "Declaration of South Germany on Smart Economy", which recognized that human beings were bidding farewell to the era of industrial civilization and entering the era of smart civilization. He believes that the center of industrial civilized mode of production is monetary capital, and the center of intelligent civilized mode of production is wisdom, which is a unique ability of human beings to create new methods, new experiences, new knowledge and new knowledge to solve difficulties.
Mou Qizhong believes that the essence of smart economy is actually the innovation advocated today.
Regarding this theory, Mou Qizhong said: "I thought about it in prison for 18 years."
Mou Qizhong said that the next goal of the Nande experiment is to design and operate the enterprise model in the intelligent and civilized mode of production, and demonstrate it to the whole society.
"It is to let this mode of production openly accept the practice test of the whole society." Mou Qizhong said.
Mou Qizhong said that the third venture of Nande started here, and the glory and legend are all in the past.
7. Case
If the criminal complaint is closed normally, the assets of Nande may be recovered.
Xia Zongwei said that after the criminal case of Nande is concluded, Nande Group will officially enter the office.
The cover journalist found in official website, Hubei Higher People’s Court that the criminal complaints filed by Nande Group and Mou Qizhong were filed on October 21, 2015, with the case number (2015) E-Criminal Shenzi No.00185, and the status was still "under trial".
On July 27th, 2016, Xia Zongwei was informed by the court that the retrial appeal of the case had changed the presiding judge. "The president said,’ The case has been filed, please wait patiently’." Xia Zongwei said.
Later, on October 18th, 2016, after Mou Qizhong was released from prison, Xia Zongwei accompanied Mou Qizhong to Gaofa, Hubei Province, and formally accepted the inquiry of the retrial judge.
Then on April 7th this year, Xia Zongwei went to Wuhan again to inquire about the progress of the case, and the judge in charge of the case replied that the case was still waiting for the opinions of the judicial committee.
Previously, on May 30, 2016, Xia Zongwei received the final civil effective judgment of Nande case from Hubei Higher People’s Court.
The cover journalist noticed that the final judgment ruled that Nande Group was not a party to the letter of credit case of Hubei Bank of China and had no direct legal relationship with the letter of credit. The letter of credit advance of Hubei Bank of China was repaid by Hubei Light Industry, and Guizhou Bank of Communications was jointly and severally liable for repayment. The final judgment found that the judgments of the first and second instance in 2001 and 2002 were correct. In the final ruling, the main facts ascertained in the retrial are consistent with those ascertained in the first and second trials.
Regarding the criminal part of the Nande case, in 2000, the Wuhan Intermediate People’s Court ruled that Nande Group and Mou Qizhong were guilty of letter of credit fraud, and sentenced Mou Qizhong to life imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life.
Xia Zongwei said that after the civil retrial has finally ruled that the Nande Group is not the subject of the legal relationship of letters of credit, it is believed that the criminal complaints about the L/C fraud cases of the Nande Group and Mou Qizhong based on the same legal fact will soon be legally and fairly ruled.
If the criminal complaint can be closed normally, it also means that Mou Qizhong may be able to recover many assets of Nande, such as the 264 houses that Nande Group bought in Mentougou District in that year, which were auctioned by several different courts after being arrested in Mou Qizhong. The 10-square-kilometer plot that was approved when Nande Group developed Manzhouli, and so on.
For the future, Mou Qizhong still firmly believes that Nande has had two experiences of starting a business empty-handed, and a new round of experiments in Nande will begin, and Nande can still set sail as scheduled.
