“烟王”者谁?原云南红塔集团董事长、玉溪卷烟厂厂长褚时健也。在他17年的厂长任期内,玉溪卷烟厂由一个名不见经传的小厂发展成为亚洲第一、世界第五的现代化烟草企业,他因此被人称分“中国烟草大王”。这样一个“风云人物”,在即将退居二线时,却主谋贪污私分公款300多万美元,其中他个人贪污170多万美元,被开除党籍,司法机关依法对其立案侦查。由“烟王”蜕变为罪犯,令人震惊之余,其蜕变的根源和过程更令人深思。 “Smoke Wang” Who? The original chairman of Yunnan Hongta Group, Yuxi cigarette factory director Chu Shijian also. During his 17-year tenure as director, Yuxi Cigarette Factory was developed into a modernized tobacco company in Asia and the fifth in the world from a small but unknown factory. He was therefore called “the Chinese tobacco king.” When such a “man of influence” is about to withdraw from the second line, he has mastered the embezzlement of privately-owned public funds of over 3 million U.S. dollars, of which he personally embezzled over 1.7 million U.S. dollars and was expelled from the party. The judiciary has placed his case on file for investigation. From the “Smoke King” into a criminal offenders, it is shocking, the root causes of its transformation and process more thought-provoking.
