Claiming to have "absolute authority", a corrupt official who once lived next door to Bill Gates was arrested abroad overnight.

  CCTV News:On January 13th, Qiao Jianjun’s name appeared in the fourth episode "Hand in Hand" of the documentary feature film "Red Wanted" of anti-corruption international.

  Qiao Jianjun, No.3 of "100 Red Cross Personnel", was the former director of the warehouse directly under Zhoukou, Henan Province.

  The "Shuoshu" of the National Granary

  China National Grain Storage Corporation is a central enterprise directly managed by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. It has set up 24 branches nationwide, covering 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government.

  According to media reports, Qiao Jianjun has been the director of the direct warehouse of China Grain Storage Zhoukou for a long time, and has established "absolute authority". The insider revealed that "the key positions are all his people. Whoever does not obey, he will replace others through various methods."

  In November 2011, Qiao Jianjun fled with more than 300 million yuan, and the procuratorate of Henan Province immediately intervened in the investigation.

  Later, it was found out by the procuratorate of Henan Province that Qiao Jianjun colluded with grain merchants, allowing them to sell the reserve converted grain in the grain depot, or falsely reported the purchase quantity of "entrusted grain", thus defrauding the state grain fund by more than 700 million yuan.

  Qiao Jianjun directly transferred part of the stolen money to his designated personal account, and then transferred it abroad through underground banks. Over the years, the money he transferred overseas has been found to be over 100 million yuan.

  In the process of investigating Qiao Jianjun’s case, the Henan Provincial Procuratorate has continuously received reports about China Grain Storage Henan Branch, and the more clues it has found, the more people have been put on file for investigation. Among them, there are 81 cadres and employees of China Grain Storage Henan Branch, including Li Changxuan, former general manager of China Grain Storage Henan Branch, Yang Hongjie, former deputy general manager, and 26 department-level cadres directly under the Grain Depot.

  The "thirteen caves of the sly rabbit" used to be neighbors with Bill Gates.

  In the feature film, Qiao Jianjun’s escape was carefully planned long ago. A few years before he fled, Qiao Jianjun, his ex-wife Zhao Shilan and their two children had secretly obtained American green cards.

  On the way to escape, Qiao Jianjun can be described as a country and region that tried its best to escape or transfer assets, involving Hong Kong, China and Singapore in Asia; America, Canada, Panama, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Dutch island of St. Martin, Europe, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Cyprus and Sweden.

  Although Zhao Shilan and Qiao Jianjun are divorced, they have a lot of common interests.

  In Seattle, USA, Zhao Shilan owns two properties. One of the properties covers an area of more than 900 square meters, with a construction area of about 340 square meters. There are 4 bedrooms alone. This house is close to Highway 405 in Seattle, with convenient transportation. The neighborhood is very quiet, and there are few cars coming in and out. It belongs to the rich area in Seattle. Seen from the west of the house, Paul Allen (one of the founders of Microsoft) lives in Mercer Island, and Bill Gates lives in the northern Medina area.

  Zhao Shilan and Qiao Jianjun were the investment immigrants who bought real estate in those years, falsely claiming that the funds came from legal income, but in fact they came from Qiao Jianjun’s corruption. Many of Qiao Jianjun’s assets transferred overseas are in her name, and the American green card was also obtained by her assistance to Qiao Jianjun by deception.

  In the United States, it has been found that Qiao Jianjun and Zhao Shilan have purchased four properties and three commercial properties, while Qiao Jianjun’s assets are far more than just in the United States. He has traveled to thirteen countries and regions, and he will make investments in each country and region, including real estate, restaurants, hotels, tourism, resorts, farms and so on.

  In addition, Qiao Jianjun obtained a passport of Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean under the pseudonym of Feng Li. His bank accounts and investments in many countries and regions are hidden behind the false identity of Feng Li.

  The first fugitive official from China prosecuted by the United States.

  In March, 2015, Qiao Jianjun and Zhao Shilan were formally charged by federal prosecutors in California for immigration fraud and money laundering. This is the first time that the United States has prosecuted a corrupt official who fled China after China announced the "Fox Hunt" campaign. In the same month, Zhao Shilan was arrested in the United States. But Qiao Jianjun fled to other countries in 2012.

  Court documents show that Qiao Jianjun and Zhao Shilan went to the United States through investment immigration programs. Previously, Zhao Shilan lied to the US Immigration Bureau that she would invest 500,000 US dollars in American enterprises, but the investigation results of the US authorities showed that all the relevant documents provided by Zhao Shilan were false, and her 500,000 US dollars were not invested in any projects at all. In fact, the money was used to buy a house in the suburbs of Seattle, and the source of the money was related to a money laundering transaction in Zhoukou Grain Depot.

  In addition, they are also suspected of fraudulent marriage. Qiao Jianjun had divorced Zhao Shilan when she came to the United States, but when Zhao Shilan applied for investment immigration, she lied that they were still married.

  Prosecutors said that Zhao Shilan was suspected of money laundering, cheating US immigration officials and violating immigration laws. If the court convicted Zhao Shilan on this charge, he might be sentenced to 30 years in prison.

  At first, Zhao Shilan hoped that the lawyer could help him get rid of the crime, and made it clear that he did not plead guilty at the first trial. But after many trials, in the face of conclusive evidence, she finally pleaded guilty. After the case is concluded, she will be sentenced to prison and many houses in the United States will be confiscated. As the case needs to be concluded together with Qiao Jianjun’s arrest, the United States also wanted Qiao Jianjun all over the world.

  On the day of the arrest, I was bald all night.

  China and the United States have joined hands to pursue the case, but Qiao Jianjun’s continuous flight between many countries has brought great difficulties to the arrest.

  While pursuing the pursuit, the pursuit is also going on simultaneously. Qiao Jianjun’s overseas assets are frozen as soon as they are discovered. Up to now, the frozen assets have exceeded 100 million yuan. China has cooperated with nearly 20 countries and regions on this case to varying degrees, and many countries and regions in America, Europe and Asia are investigating and recovering his assets.

  Finally, there is a clue that Qiao Jianjun is in Sweden. This time, he didn’t get away with it.

  In August 2018, Qiao Jianjun was arrested in Sweden. On the day he was arrested, he went bald overnight.

  Looking back on his 7-year escape life, although he has painstakingly managed to buy assets in more than a dozen countries, he has not been able to enjoy any of them safely.

  Mr. Gorts, Senior Prosecutor of Swedish National Anti-Corruption Bureau, said in an interview that Qiao Jianjun was also suspected of economic crimes in Sweden and had been investigated.

  At present, although there is no extradition treaty between China and Sweden, China has made an extradition request to Sweden, and Sweden is conducting relevant investigations.

  Zhou Congyuan, a staff member of the International Cooperation Bureau of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, who is in charge of investigating the case, said: "If this case is successfully handled, I think it should be a textbook case. The biggest feature of this case is our global pursuit and global cooperation, because anti-corruption has become a consensus of the international community, and no country will affect its reputation and interests for corruption. "

The three-fold price of 20,000 is really the "optimal solution" of the current mobile phone?

Even if you are not a digital enthusiast, you may have been screened by various contents of Huawei Mate XT on social media; Whether it is the price in 1999 or the effect of seamless switching between a 10-inch large screen and a small screen, it is an eye-catching selling point.

Three folds landed on mass-produced consumer-grade smartphones for the first time, and the brand effect of Huawei was superimposed, which made this mobile phone quickly explode on social networks, and there were also various stalks about the shape of mobile phones.

In any case, the arrival of the three folds still brings a ray of fresh air to the form of smart phones that have been silent for several years, and is expected to become the most important change in the form of smart phones in 2024.

The most direct manifestation of this expectation is the sales volume: before the conference was officially held, more than 2 million people had booked Mate XT. Even according to the conversion rate of one tenth, the booking volume of 200,000 is quite scary for the first sale of the flagship mobile phone with folding screen.

Is triple folding the next evolutionary direction of smart phones?

First, from folding to refolding

Tri-fold itself is actually not the cutting-edge folding screen technology: as early as around 2018, when the folding screen technology just came out, similar concepts appeared. At the same time that the traditional folding screen mobile phone experience began to mature, a large number of new patents/concept machines about tri-fold appeared every year.

Not only mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei and Voice, but also upstream suppliers of flexible display such as Samsung and TCL are stepping up their efforts to explore the feasibility of mass production and commercialization of triple-folding hardware. Almost every year, we can see the latest progress of triple-folding technology in large-scale consumer electronics exhibitions such as CES.

Every year, these screen manufacturers release several folding screen concept machines, which are named Flex S, Flex G and other codes according to different forms, not only to keep ahead in the research and development field of folding screen mobile phones, but also to sample for potential customers and show the maturity of current technology.

In fact, in addition to the Z-shaped triple-folding form we have seen now, Samsung Display has previously demonstrated the triple-folding concept machine with two screens folded inward, showing that even in the relatively small definition of triple-folding, there are still different forms.

Flex G concept machine demonstrated by Samsung in 2023.

If you pay attention to the folding screen field for a long time, you may notice that the application speed of three-fold technology is obviously several years faster than that of double-fold mobile phones from the appearance of concepts to the appearance of concept machines and the landing of final mass production machines.

This is because of several difficulties that have plagued the folding screen mobile phone-Problems such as screen, hinge, battery design, etc., with the weight, photography and other experiences gradually catching up with the traditional direct-screen mobile phone, have also been quickly overcome.

For example, the hinge of the folding screen mobile phone used to be the weakest link that easily led to the failure of the mobile phone in the early stage of the sale of the folding screen mobile phone. The early Samsung Galaxy Z series had to leave a gap between the hinges that looked very elegant to avoid dust from causing serious damage to the screen.

Samsung’s first generation Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Fold 2

However, in 2023, various mobile phone manufacturers introduced more mature water-drop hinge technology like "double-rotating water-drop hinge" and "keel hinge", and the cost of screen module was also rapidly reduced. At the same time, UTG glass with better wear resistance was introduced to replace the original CPI film screen, which became the standard solution for the flagship mobile phone with folding screen.

At the same time of rapid hardware iteration, the adaptation of software is also rapidly improving. Not only is the bottom of Android system improving the design specification of App for guiding developers to face folding screen devices, but also various mobile phone manufacturers are introducing more new functions and software adaptation every year, which strengthens the big screen as a selling point of folding screen.

Since the first mass-produced folding screen mobile phone came out in 2018, the rapid iteration of hardware and software not only made the folding screen mobile phone more mature, but also became ready-to-use assets in the era of triple folding.

For users and mobile phone brands, there is only one key problem left-Why choose triple folding?

Second, the impact of high-end new flagship

For mobile phone brands, folding screen mobile phones are not only an important product line that undertakes the task of impacting high-end, but also face the dilemma of too small market share for a long time.

Today’s folding screen mobile phone is no longer a niche early adopter product at the beginning, but an absolute flagship mobile phone product line of every first-line mobile phone manufacturer except Apple. However, many users are still discouraged by the high price of folding screen mobile phones: according to the survey data of Ai Media Consulting, 59.5% of the interviewed users do not buy folding screen mobile phones because of their high price.

Therefore, in the past few years, the starting price of folding screen mobile phones has been lowered by mobile phone manufacturers: now there is even a small discount with an official price of 2999 yuan.(Nubian Flip)Although it is only a case at present, it is enough to show the speed of the rapid popularization of folding screen technology in the past two years.

The rapidly decreasing selling price has also given more and more users the reason to try folding screen mobile phones: the total shipments of the global folding screen mobile phone market have expanded rapidly in the past four years: IDC, a research organization, predicts that by 2025, the global shipments of foldable mobile phones will reach 27.6 million units.

Although it is good for users that the overall selling price of folding screen mobile phones drops rapidly-they can taste the big screen experience at a lower price, for mobile phone manufacturers, the added value of folding screen mobile phones, which were originally positioned as "ultra-high-end flagship", has also depreciated to some extent with the lower and lower prices.

The reason why the new form of products such as triple folding is important for smartphone manufacturers also implies the mission of re-establishing the ultra-high-end flagship product line through the change of form at the stage of rapid price reduction and practical use of folding screen mobile phones. From the current pre-sale of Mate XT, it can be seen that the importance of added value in the sales of high-end flagship mobile phones is self-evident.

Third, practicality is the most important.

In the final analysis, even if brand marketing is an important factor behind the efforts of mobile phone manufacturers, because the three-fold mobile phone will eventually go through a process of demagnetization similar to that of today’s folding screen, solid software functions are very important for whether the three-fold mobile phone can finally gain user recognition in sales volume and finally gain a foothold.

In addition to the need to solve the hard problems such as thickness and weight in hardware, the most important hidden task of the three-fold mobile phone in the past was to explore the core value of its existence: in other words, it is a problem-How to persuade users to pay for three-fold mobile phones with real money??

Whether it’s a sound transmission or a manufacturer that has shown the triple-folding concept machine before, the existing concepts conveyed by the triple-folding currently involve a lot of demonstration contents that simulate PC usage scenarios, and use the triple-folding mobile phone by using a computer.

The three-fold mobile phone is obviously more like a laptop.

In addition to exploring the future for the flagship mobile phone, this may also hint at the evolution direction of PC to some extent. The working conditions faced by PC are more complicated than those of smart phones, but this is what PC manufacturers need to consider.

Judging from the three-fold concept machine that the author experienced during CES in the past, unlike the folding screen mobile phone that only needs a single folding, in the process of unfolding and folding,It is almost inevitable that users will exert their strength directly on the flexible screen of the folding screen mobile phone.. The durability of the screen is still one of the biggest problems that plague the folding screen mobile phone, so it will be a test that the three-fold mobile phone will face.

The elasticity during deployment, the support during hovering and the fixation after deployment are all technical difficulties that have long plagued the practicality of the triple-folding. Only by gradually solving these problems can we avoid the pit that the triple-folding mobile phone stepped on in the early stage of mass production due to low reliability and lack of practical functions.

Fourth, the next change in the form of mobile phones

Another detail that is easily overlooked is that folding screens often bear the exploration attributes of many smart phone cutting-edge technologies at the same time of high price: from flexible batteries to liquid lenses, the earliest carriers are folding screen concept machines.

Thanks to the richer early adopter properties of the three-fold screen mobile phone, it is destined to become the first application carrier of various new smart phone technologies for a long time after its advent. These technologies can not only supply the development of folding screens, but also promote the progress of smart phone technology as a whole.

In addition to the three folds of the current fire, since the maturity of flexible screen technology, different mobile phone manufacturers also have multiple forms of smart phone concept machines, not only in the form of Xiaomi MIX Alpha, but also OPPO has launched many generations of scroll screen concept machines, and now the scroll screen technology has reached a quite mature stage.

These explorations on the form of the next generation of smart phones will not come to an end with the first arrival of the three folds, but will become a debate on the technical route, showing a kind of "Renaissance" in which smart phones have not yet appeared in the functional machine era and various forms have come out.

One thing is certain:Straight smart phones, which are still popular at present, and even today’s double folding screen mobile phones will not always be the mainstream form of smart phones.

There is more than one "optimal solution" to the form of smart phone.
