Unlawful wealth and lawful bankruptcy: the "zero cost" myth of the Jiangsu Sea

The story begins with a very melodic script:

In 2006, the "Good People of China" Zhang Chang responded to the call for investment in Jiangsu Binhai county, bringing real gold and silver to over 3,000 acres of saltwater beaches on both sides of the Huai River into the waterway. From non-haired land to UN-recognized salt soil agriculture samples, from the desert beach to the country's first coastal salt soil agriculture enterprise academic workstation, the company perfectly fulfilled the duty of a pioneer.

However, the script ended after the success of the salt-based improvement, seamlessly linked to a black-humor film. Looking at the desert beach turned into a good place, the locals sharply smelled the business opportunity.

Since 2008, the local people and some villagers, led by Hu Long Army and Fang Rong, have swallowed the hard-worked land whales of the company through forced land seizure, destruction of facilities, expulsion of employees and other simple and rough ways, and subsequently rented profits.

The following circumstances are the extreme torture of the word "rule of law": the enterprise has been calling for police for 17 years, the public security organs are stable like Taishan, and are determined not to file criminal cases; civil lawsuits have been turned over for ten years, and the verdict of the trial is finally delayed in 2025 and 2026.

However, although the land was recovered, the high profits earned by the invaders were deprived by the court for various reasons. More clearly, in the latest demolition collection, the local town government paid compensation for the facilities belonging to the green house company directly to those who illegally occupied the land.

The desert beach has been transformed, the academician has been introduced, and in the end, the business owner can only say, "The land is better than the land, the law is better than the law."

“Excellent Economics of the Land”

With the hidden “night guard”

If you take the behavior of Hu, Wang, and other people as an entrepreneurial project to do a road show, it may be the world's only high-quality asset: zero R&D investment, zero initial capital, zero operational maintenance.

The core competitiveness is the face and fist, the profit model is the "no-benefit" strong transfer, and the largest city river is the "silent" model of local public power.

In common sense, you go to the street to steal a grandmother's wallet, even if there are only a few thousand, the public security organs can tremendously put you in the custody, which is called a robbery crime or provocation.

But in this magical land of Shandong County, a group of people organizedly seized thousands of acres of huge agricultural research base, smashed your equipment, chased your employees, and took rent in the imperial land.

The failure of 17 years of alarms is essentially a “declaration of disrespect” issued by law enforcement agencies to the whole society: as long as you steal the production material of the enterprise, as long as you flag “villagers” or “historical legacy issues”, the sanctions of the law can rest indefinitely.

Behind this law enforcement logic is a terrifying rule of grassroots governance—who is right and who is beneficial.

The police do not file the case, for the sake of "stability", for trouble, but this "failure to act" is precisely the biggest encouragement for the invaders.

It has reduced the cost of crime to zero, putting the responsibility for the protection of property rights that should be borne by the public authority, and putting hard life on a civil court without compulsion.It’s like a robber entering your house, the security guards at the door, telling you, “Don’t be rude, go to court and prosecute him.”

Magical “Fifty Boards” Law

with low illegal costs

If the silence of the police is the loss of the first line of defense, then the judgment of the court is a "and dirty" art performance.

Let us look at the shameful logical closure of the Shandong County Court. Hu long army took over land rent and gained millions. The court, although it found that Hu long army illegally took over the land, but when calculating the compensation, a large discount on the 56.6 million yuan losses claimed by the company, approved only 24.41 million.

The reason is that the company has transferred part of the land to other crops, changing the contract agreement for "salt-resistant plant research".

The robbers robbed your house to someone else, the judge did not fully collect the robbers' illegal income, but instead accused you of the original decoration style of violation, so the robbers can only compensate you for the cost.

Take a look at the case of Van Long Rock for 210 acres of fish pond.

The market flow price of the same type of breeding beach coating is generally more than 1500 yuan per acre, and the company also has a third-party agreement as a reference. but the courts have a lot of money, and in the absence of market research and professional assessment, it is "reasonable" to calculate the occupation fee of 600 yuan per acre.

In a country with a mature property protection system, the logic of such cases is very different. In the British American law, for example, the courts will not only support the principle of equity (the full compensation for actual losses and profits), but also offer "punitive compensation" without hesitation for acts of malicious intrusion of someone else's private property or rent.

The malicious perpetrators are not only threatened to spit out all the illegal profits, but are also faced with fines for disregarding their income, and even for being thrown directly into prison for contempt of the court. Because the common sense of the law of modern civilization is that no one should ever benefit from their own violations.

But in Shandong County, the law seems to have become a “limit-price game.” For decades, subjective maliciousness was extremely obvious, and ultimately the court ruled the standard of compensation was even lower than the legal market rent. This constituted an extremely absurd economic formula: illegal cost < compliance cost.

Since the robbed land, even losing the trial also only have to pay a "occupation fee" according to the "far below the market price" low standard, the high difference in the middle price all into the private population pocket, the fool went to do good business. the court in the strict French language, essentially completed a turn on the infringer "directed poverty alleviation".

The removal of money to the robbers:

The “Closed Dog”

If you feel that the court’s ruling has been sufficing, the obsessive operation of the Na Beach Port Town government has directly pushed this absurd drama to its culmination.

At the end of 2024, the construction of the second phase of the Hui River Waterway sea port project was charged.After the expiration of the previous package of the Hui River Fish pond, several tenants refused to return the land and facilities.

The company has already received the decision to support the return through arbitration. However, the demolition agency, in order to "promote the construction of the project", has bypassed the land lawful use rights and facilities owners (Greenhouse Company), directly entrusted the town government to send compensation to these people who illegally occupied the land!

This is not only "and sludge", which is the public power down, directly to the violation of the law "sujet".

In recent years, numerous redheads have been issued from above and below on "optimising the business environment" and "promoting the expansion of the private economy".The national level has also repeatedly put forward demands to protect the property rights of private enterprises and the rights and interests of entrepreneurs in accordance with the law, and resolutely correct economic disputes as criminal handling.

Here in Shandong County, the policy is reversed to another miracle: Serious provocations and seizures are treated as economic disputes, and legitimate corporate rights are treated as arbitrary abrasions.

An enterprise, listening to the sweet words of "business funding", brought technology and funds to the desert. The desert beach turned into a gold barrel, the local villagers began to rob the land, the police didn't care, the court overwhelmed the compensation, and eventually the government even dismantled the funds directly to the villagers.

Obviously, this is a "business-raising sheep", waiting for the sheep to eat the grass fat, directly open the door to put the wolf, by the way, send a large removal package to the wolf.

Zhang’s twenty-year nightmare is not just a business tragedy, it’s a cold warning to all potential investors:

In a place that lacks the bottom line of the rule of law and the protection of property rights, your technology, funds, UN certification, and even the "Good People of China" medal is not worth mentioning in the face of the local hegemony's iron and grassroots "and dirt."

When "seed rather than rob the land" becomes the real law of survival on a piece of land, the land, even if it is no longer a saltwater, will eventually become the desert of modern commercial civilization.
