According to experts, if you eat in a restaurant for ten times, you may eat gutter oil once.
If so, a considerable number of moral portraits of contemporary China people are reflected in the sewer.
This is obviously not a tragedy of an industry. You stand in the gutter and confuse others, and others engage in melamine in milk. You make others sick, and others make you chilling. The whole food ecology in China has been almost collapsed by almost all food production enterprises.
The principle of market economy is that there will be supply if there is demand. But if there is no conscience in supply, there is no guarantee in demand. What life pursues is not the moral bottom line that has been repeatedly lowered, but the sense of shame that has been tempered after hoarding.
Moral reconstruction needs to be fake in the long run, and the only way is to expect all government departments to be responsible for protecting tables for themselves and others.
Uncover the black interest chain of "gutter oil"
It lasted more than four months and traveled more than 30,000 kilometers. * * Held more than 20 case analysis meetings. The police in Ninghai, Zhejiang joined forces with local police, involving 14 provinces, and * * * arrested 32 suspects. This is the first time that China has cracked the case of using waste oil to manufacture and sell edible oil, and this interest chain has been completely presented to the public.
If you have been to the scene, you will lose your appetite for at least one day.
A cauldron with a diameter of 1.5 meters is hidden in the Woods, all kinds of kitchen waste are scattered all over the floor, iron drums covered with oil are arranged in a row, and flies are flying everywhere. Some fermented substances in the iron pot are bubbling, and the stench can be smelled hundreds of meters away. Incredibly, it is the oil refined in this iron pot that will be put on the table with great momentum after several processes.
A few days ago, under the unified command and deployment of the Ministry of Public Security, public security organs in Zhejiang, Shandong, Henan and other places cracked the case of using illegal cooking oil for the first time, * * * destroyed the illegal cooking oil criminal network involving 14 provinces, smashed 6 "black factories" and "black dens" for production and sales, and arrested 32 major suspects such as Liu and others.
As a result, a black industrial chain of gutter oil including fishing, refining, reselling, deep processing, wholesale and retail is presented to the public, and that disgusting cauldron is the initial clue.
A lucky case.
20 1 1 In March, the Public Security Brigade of Ninghai County Public Security Bureau in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province received a report from the masses during the "big visit" police evaluation activity. A group of people collect kitchen waste oil at high prices in various restaurants, and some residents report that there is a bad smell floating in the Woods of Taoyuan Street Community, and it is suspected that someone is refining waste oil.
The task of verification fell to Feng Weifeng, 34. Feng is the squadron leader of the public security action squadron of the public security brigade of Ninghai County Public Security Bureau. He used to work in the police station and was quite familiar with the street community.
Feng Weifeng and his colleagues went into the Woods to look for the stench and found a cauldron full of dark brown sticky liquid and kitchen garbage. The scene that came into view was "more disgusting than the murder scene", and Zhou Guoliang, a policeman, described it as "worse than the toilet".
The police crouched in the Woods for several nights, but the owner of the cauldron never showed up. After investigation, they found Yan Yuhua and Ye. Yan Yuhua told the police that they bribed the hotel security guard, dug up the garbage in the hotel sewer, heated it in a pot, scooped out the grease floating on the surface with a spoon, and sold it to Anqing people Yang Yang and Xu at the price of a barrel in 800 yuan. Yan Yuhua and his wife can boil out about 10 barrels (200 kilograms per barrel) every month, with an income of 8,000 yuan, and there is no other cost except the kitchen waste that has been dug up hard.
"We just doubt the use and direction of the oil, and we are not sure about the flow to the table." Feng Weifeng said. Subsequently, the police found Yang Yang and Xu, who could not explain the flow of oil, but Huang Changshui, a fellow villager in Yang Yang, entered the police's field of vision.
Huang Changshui, 48, has lived in Ningbo for five or six years. He used to earn a little difference by selling waste engine oil, and gradually he had some savings. According to Huang Shuichang, he bought gutter oil at the price of 950 yuan per barrel (200 Jin), and then sold it to chemical enterprises in Ningbo at the price of more than 5,000 yuan per ton. Generally speaking, gutter oil refers to oily floating objects in sewers or oil extracted from kitchen waste after simple processing, which can be used in chemical production.
However, the police found that Huang Changshui recently recorded two unusually large sums of money, and the remitters were from Donghai County, Jiangsu Province and Pingyin County, Shandong Province. Huang Changshui inadvertently said a sentence that caught the attention of the police: people who came to buy should test the acid price of waste oil.
Acid value is a sign of free fatty acid content in fat. The smaller the acid value, the better the quality, freshness and refining degree of the oil, and chemical enterprises do not need to test the acid value, which has aroused the suspicion of the police: Is this batch of oil to be processed into edible oil?
On March 28th, Lin Dong, director of Ninghai County Public Security Bureau, immediately instructed to put on record for investigation after listening to the report of Hong Jufeng, deputy instructor of the Public Security Brigade. At the same time, six suspects, including Huang Changshui, were detained.
Huang Changshui told the police that the buyers in Jiangsu and Shandong were surnamed Wang and Li respectively, but they didn't know the company name. The police entered the buyer's mobile phone number provided by Huang Changshui into Baidu, and the information of purchasing expired soybean oil and KFC oil jumped out. The name of the company is Xinglong Oil Company in Donghai County, Jiangsu Province, and the address and telephone number are easy to find.
After investigation, the telephone registration owner of the Shandong acquirer is Liu. Baidu shows that Liu is releasing a large number of information about purchasing various oil products. However, the police didn't realize that Liu Cai was the real protagonist of this big case at that time, and they started a game of wits and wits.
There are more and more doubts. On March 3 1 day, Hong Jufeng and Feng Weifeng came to Donghai County with their drivers, ready to contact the manufacturers as Fujian businessmen. In Liu Shi Town, Donghai County, Feng Weifeng was surprised to find that there were more than 20 oil processing plants in two villages. Hong and Feng did not alarm the suspects, but first asked other manufacturers about the situation, but "they are too dressed up, unlike those in the oil business, and people don't want to talk much." But they also noticed that there are three large oil tanks in the factory, which are marked with industrial oil, feed oil and edible oil respectively.
"There will be plant residues during the production of edible oil. We haven't found it for three days. " Hong Jufeng told China Newsweek.
In order to understand the evidence chain of waste oil from production to dining table, Ninghai public security organs began to learn the background knowledge and technology of oil making after reporting to Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department in early April.
At the same time, the investigation of Li Shujun is under way. 20 1 1 In September, Huang Changshui told China Newsweek in Ninghai County Detention Center that Li Shujun had high requirements on the quality of oil products and said that it would be used for feed production. He bought 306 barrels at a price of 5600 yuan per ton, which was a big customer.
Investigators are also interested in Li Shujun. The price that Huang Changshui sells to local chemical enterprises is only 5,300 yuan per ton, while the purchase price in Li Shujun is very high, and the cost per ton plus freight is at least 6,000 yuan. What does he want to do with the oil?
Investigate distress
The well-documented gutter oil incident occurred in 2000, when a vendor in Huludao, Liaoning Province cooked cooking oil with swill and sold it. Since then, such incidents have occurred in Wuhan, Hohhot, Beijing and other places. From 2003 to 2005, it was a period of high incidence of gutter oil. Many provinces and cities have successively issued relevant regulations, but it is difficult to cure chronic diseases.
However, in the public impression, cooking oil is processed into cooking oil by some black workshops, which has neither formed a climate nor formed an industrial chain. Hong Jufeng didn't know at that time that they were getting closer and closer to this dark industrial chain.
The investigation found that the oil money that Li Shujun sent to Huang Changshui came from a bank in Pingyin County. As a result, Jinan Green Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Green Company) entered the sight of the police. Coincidentally, the boss of this company is Liu whom the police met online before.
According to the public information of Green Company, this is an energy enterprise with an annual output of 40,000 tons of biodiesel. In fact, the production process of biodiesel is quite similar to the process of processing waste oil into edible oil. Many biodiesel production enterprises in Ningbo introduced the secrets to the police: the former does not require high acid price, and both of them will have a strange smell in the production process, but the latter is an obvious smell; The latter production needs an adsorbent called clay to decolorize, while the former does not.
At the end of May, Hong Jufeng came to Rose Town, Pingyin County, Jinan City with a five-person task force. Green company covers an area of 15 mu, one third of which is a steel structure factory building. There are eight monitoring probes around the fence, and the doorman is strict, so it is difficult for strangers to enter. The members of the task force did not startle them, but took advantage of the night to investigate nearby. A gust of wind blew, and the policeman shrugged his nose-it stinks!
But these investigators are not excited. Their next plan is to find out where the oil goes. "Products should be shipped out, raw materials should be brought in, and there will always be gains if you stay there," said Hong Jufeng.
Police officers borrowed two private cars and took turns guarding them in two groups. At 4: 30 am on June 2, a raw material truck drove into the factory, and at about 9 am the next day, a 12 ton tanker loaded with oil drove out of the factory. "keep up!" Hong Jufeng instructed.
After driving 1 1 km, at a T-junction, a silver-gray Pentium suddenly rushed from behind and went straight to the car where Hong Jufeng was. Hong Jufeng and the same car policeman Li Xiaoming instinctively judged: "This car is a car!" They both pressed the safety lock together. After Liu was arrested, he admitted that there would be car protection every time he transported refined oil. But that time, he didn't expect to follow the public security, thinking it was an environmental protection, quality inspection department or a competitor.
Two days later, the stalker found a truck driving into the factory area of Green Company, and the cement packaging bag on the truck read: Efficient activated clay.
After many investigations, the network of Green Company has gradually become clear. The registered legal representative of Green Company is Liu's nephew Yu Qingpeng, but Liu is actually the boss behind the scenes, his brother-in-law Lu Jun is the production director, and the owner of the tanker is Liu's other nephew. This is a real family business. Liu pays for gas through the private bank card of relatives in the factory. What is even more incredible is that this company with an annual output value of nearly 100 million yuan only pays 50 yuan tax every month.
Several transformations of green companies
In the eyes of friends, Liu is both clever and talented. Although he only graduated from technical secondary school, he has overcome many technical difficulties in oil production.
1997, 22-year-old Liu graduated from Shandong Light Industry Engineering School with a major in light industry machinery and joined Shandong Pingyin Aluminum Factory as a technician. Six years later, Liu resigned, set up Jinan Changshun Oil Processing Factory and began to operate oil. Because of inexperience, I lost more than 300,000 yuan after half a year in the business. He continued to borrow money from relatives and friends until 2006, when he owed nearly 2 million yuan. "No matter how much you lose, you can only crustily skin of head and move on," Liu told the China reporter in the detention center.
In 2006, biodiesel became a hot spot. Liu carefully looked at the project, looking for technology everywhere, and preparing to put biodiesel into production. First, he spent 654.38 million yuan to buy equipment and technology from China University of Science and Technology. After the effect was not satisfactory, he sought advice from Ning Shoujian, an expert member of the National Biodiesel Industry Cooperation Group. Finally, he finally formed his own technology through cooperation and repeated experiments with a research institute in Zhengzhou.
Liu said that he mainly buys waste oil from Beijing as raw material, and this process is only two steps. At that time, there was no standard for biodiesel in China, as long as customers agreed. "It was at this time that I had a deeper understanding of waste oil." Liu said:
At that time, diesel was in short supply, and many gas stations added biodiesel to diesel. Liu's business is growing day by day, with a monthly net profit of 200,000 to 300,000 at the peak. By 2007, he had almost paid off his debts. However, the good times did not last long, the price of diesel oil fell, and the market demand for biodiesel decreased. "Later, there was no market, and PetroChina and Sinopec didn't want it. Who else can they sell it to? "
Liu began his second metamorphosis. In 2008, he began to produce feed oil. From the beginning of 2008 to the second half of 2009, E * * sold less than 2,000 tons, earning about 500 yuan per ton. Liu said that feed oil is deep red, which is very different from normal oil. Some of them went to feed mills, some did chemical engineering, and some made food.
In the second half of 2009, Liu spent more than 2 million yuan to rent a workshop of 1300 square meters, acquire new equipment, prepare to apply for animal source certification, and vigorously develop feed oil. But the Animal Husbandry Bureau didn't pass his application. "What should I do if all the money is invested?" In this case, Liu came up with the idea of using waste oil as cooking oil. "This is beyond the business scope."
To this end, he registered a new company named Bohui Biotechnology Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of 500,000 yuan. Relying on his contacts in the oil industry, Liu quickly opened the market.
Liu, who is good at studying, divides refined waste oil into three processes: hydrolysis; Adding clay to decolorize and remove impurities; Finally, the acid value is reduced by cooking. However, because gutter oil has been used all the time, and it often contains a pungent taste that cannot be removed, Liu has never been able to overcome it. In order to ensure the "quality", he had to think of a once-and-for-all way-no longer buying waste oil as raw materials from Sichuan and Hunan, which are used to eating spicy food.
In 20 10, Liu purchased 15 mu of land, registered a green company, and continued to process and produce gutter oil with a daily production capacity of 30 tons. Liu told China that he could sell 400-500 tons a month on average and 700-800 tons at the highest, earning about 500 yuan per ton.
Then the oil flows into the market.
sell
The sales place of waste oil products is the most important link in the evidence chain. After investigation by the police, the dealer of a large grain and oil firm in Zhengzhou Qingfeng Grain and Oil Market was seriously suspected. In late June, Hong Jufeng rushed to Zhengzhou to investigate and collect evidence.
It is a kind of switch trade, which buys goods from Liu at a price of about 8300 yuan per ton, and then sells them to counties and cities around Zhengzhou and Sanmenxia. In addition to wholesale, waste oil will also be put into a 40 kg white oil pot for retail. Hong Jufeng found that even four-star hotels would purchase edible oil of this packaging specification. "The price of regular oil is above 9,000 yuan, and there is considerable profit margin for every ton sold in Yuan Yi." Feng Weifeng said.
Hong Jufeng found that different stages of gutter oil have different names in the industry. The acquisition link is called "gutter oil", the refining stage is called "crude oil", and it is called "red oil" when it leaves the factory, and it is called "rice bran oil" or cheap "cottonseed oil" when it enters the grain and oil terminal market.
Mr. Yuan told the police that rice bran oil is synonymous with gutter oil, which is an open secret in the industry. Yuan Yi, who has been arrested, also told China Newsweek that this kind of oil can basically be bought at this price in the market. In addition, gutter oil is also widely used to prepare edible oil.
Interestingly, Zhu Xuefeng, the driver hired by Yuan Yi, is now both a suspect and a victim. Zhu Xuefeng, who didn't know the truth, always bottled the waste oil left in the fuel tank and took it home. Although it tastes a little different, Zhu Xuefeng still thinks it's cheap. "I didn't know how this oil was made until I saw the news, so I didn't eat anything all day." It was not until June this year that Zhu Xuefeng stopped stealing oil home because of his poor taste.
After nearly two months of investigation, a complete industrial chain from fishing, resale, production to sales of waste oil finally surfaced. On July 4, Zhejiang and Shandong police rounded up more than 60 police officers, arrested 9 suspects including Liu on the spot and seized 694 tons of waste oil. On July 14, Zhejiang and Henan police arrested five suspects, including Yuan Yi, a salesman of Zhengzhou Qingfeng Grain and Oil Market. On the spot, more than 0/00 boxes of counterfeit brand edible oil were seized, and more than 30 tons of edible oil in bulk in oil tanks.
From the notebook that Liu carried with him, the police found the accounts in and out of Green's company and the information on the up and down lines, which basically coincided with the investigation. Liu also has U Shield and seven bank cards from five banks, and the capital flow is basically completed through these private bank cards. Liu told China that gutter oil can't be invoiced, and if it is paid in full, the amount is huge, and multiple accounts are operated for tax avoidance.
Through the inquiry of employees of Green Company, the police learned that the company's internal management is very strict, and it is clearly stipulated that it is not allowed to talk about products. All external information is controlled by Liu alone. An employee told the police about his tragic experience: the waste oil in the oil tank was heated and fermented, and the tank cover was opened and spilled all over the floor, including a sanitary towel.
According to Liu's confession, 95% of the waste oil produced by Liu was sold to a company in Henan and Qianmen Trading Company in Jinan, and the latter was sold to a well-known pharmaceutical company as a nutrient for drug bacteria culture.
"The companies in Henan told me that they would never enter the edible oil market, but I couldn't keep up with them." Liu argued that he did bear part of the responsibility, but he didn't know that his products had flowed to the table.
On July 22, Ninghai police provided more than a dozen clues to the local public security organs, involving Sichuan, Guizhou, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Liaoning, Shaanxi and other provinces.
At present, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu
The investigators told China Newsweek that in the process of handling this case, Ninghai police held more than 20 case analysis meetings, with a journey of more than 30,000 kilometers, and the difficulty can be imagined. However, it is incredible that when the case handlers were preparing to seal up the green waste oil, they were stopped by the local town government staff. "If these oils are not handled in time, there is a risk of entering the market at any time." A case handler said.
Now, Liu in the detention center began to pay attention to the trial of clenbuterol. He thought that the sentencing of the principal in the case might be a reference and made the worst plan. In order to strive for meritorious service, he reported more than a dozen other waste oil production enterprises. "It's no use saying anything now. I just hope others will take warning. " Liu sighed. "This is not only my tragedy, but also the tragedy of society."
