Cut off Moutai's illegal profit transport chain
Promote special management of rare and special products and special resources
Enlightenment from the case of Wang Xiaoguang, former member of the Standing Committee of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee and former Vice Governor
Moutai is an important national brand and has a unique position in my country's economic and social life and has attracted much attention.
For some time, a small number of party and government leading cadres and business managers have used Moutai as a tool for personal gain and luxury and a medium for political clinging and benefit transmission. The Wang Xiaoguang case is a typical case.
Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, the National Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection promoted the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee to deepen reforms through cases, and carried out special rectification of the problem of leading cadres using Moutai for personal gain, and then carried out the use of valuables by leading cadres across the country Special rectification of the problem of special products and special resources for personal gain, timely removal of this important source of pollution within the party’s political ecology and social ethos, and vigorously promote the sustained and healthy development of the economy and society.
Corruption and power for personal gain behind the "Moutai chaos"

On March 31, 2018, less than 10 days after the National Supervisory Commission was unveiled, the National Supervisory Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection conducted an investigation and investigation of Wang Xiaoguang, former member of the Standing Committee of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee and former vice governor of the provincial government, on suspected serious violations of discipline and law, and became the establishment of the National Supervisory Commission. The first case investigated since.
After investigation, Wang Xiaoguang seriously violated political discipline and political rules, the spirit of the eight central regulations, organizational discipline, integrity discipline, work discipline, life discipline, and national laws and regulations, especially the long-term collusion between officials and businessmen, and the party and the people. As a tool for gaining personal gain, the power of China has seriously polluted the political ecology of Guizhou and caused bad political and social influence.
In April 2019, Wang Xiaoguang was sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined 175 million yuan in the first instance.
In Wang Xiaoguang’s serious violations of discipline and law, Moutai is a prominent "keyword". He combines drinking, collecting and selling, and he has obtained a huge benefit of tens of millions of yuan through Moutai alone.
One is to use privileges to operate in violation of regulations.
From 2010 to 2017, Wang Xiaoguang greeted Yuan Renguo, then general manager of Kweichow Moutai Group (has been investigated) and others, helping his family and relatives to obtain franchise rights to 4 Moutai specialty stores, and illegally profited more than 40 million yuan.
The second is to use power to accept bribes.
Moutai has always been in short supply in the market and has the nature of "hard currency".
Not only did Wang Xiaoguang take advantage of various opportunities such as the New Year's Day and New Year's Day to receive Moutai from some merchants and cadres, he also instructed others to buy Moutai at high prices in his own store to earn the intermediate price difference.
More than 4,000 bottles of various types of Moutai were seized in the middle of his home, including state banquet Moutai, vintage Moutai, and various other commemorative versions of Moutai.
The third is that the geese go to pluck their hair and take advantage of it.
In the name of official reception, Wang Xiaoguang asked a company to use public funds to buy Moutai worth more than 1 million yuan, and take a few boxes to take home every weekend, using the "mouse moving" method to occupy most of the Moutai. Accumulate and sell.
He also arranged for the staff around him to receive Moutai worth more than 900,000 yuan from the reception desk of a certain municipal party committee, part of which was embezzled by him.
The fourth is arbitrarily approving notes and illegally approving alcohol.
Wang Xiaoguang not only obtained the franchise rights of specialty stores by greetings, but also issued purchase letters under the guise of 61 units, personally approved the notes, obtained a large number of Moutai quota quotas from the Moutai Group and reselled them to make huge profits.
From severe punishment of "alcohol-related corruption" to comprehensive rectification and source governance

Valuable specialty products are the special resources and golden signs of the locality, and they must not be the "money cow" for making money, the "stepping stone" for gift giving, or the "hard currency" for cashing out.
The Wang Xiaoguang case reflects the Maotai chaos intertwined by the "incorruptibility" of party and government cadres and the "badness" of corporate management. It reveals the use of local rare and special resources and special resources for personal gain and extravagance. Issues such as the transfer of benefits, rent-seeking of power, corruption of power and money transactions, and political attachment.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission insisted on investigating and handling corruption cases and focused on promoting reforms. While reporting the investigation report of Wang Xiaoguang's case to the Party Central Committee, it also submitted an investigation report on the Maotai chaos reflected in Wang Xiaoguang's case.

At the same time, it strengthens daily supervision, implements special account management for clues related to wine, and grasps the scale, classification and proper handling from the perspective of history and reality.
The second is to completely eliminate "privileged stores" and "backdoor wine" as the focus of work, and cut off the source of the use of marketing power for profit transmission.
Centralized review and inspection of the approval files of 2,045 Moutai specialty stores and special dealers, and separated hundreds of specialty stores beyond normal operation and resolutely canceled them; rectified the unhealthy trend of "greeting" Moutai sales by leading cadres and abolished Moutai Group The sales volume of internal batches is 2500 tons.

Promote reshaping and overall optimization of political ecology, social ecology, and corporate ecology
Starting from the Wang Xiaoguang case, promoting reform through the case, and promoting special rectification work across the country, it has effectively solved the political, economic, corruption, and style issues behind the problem of leading cadres' use of valuable and special resources for personal gain, and achieved political results. The disciplinary and social effects are organically unified, which promotes the overall optimization of politics, society, and corporate ecology.
——The dual goal of "controlling the chaos of Moutai and promoting the reputation of the country's wine" has been achieved.

Leading cadres use Maotai and other valuable specialty products and special resources for personal gain. The problem involves a large number of people, a wide range of influences, a wide range of influences, historical reasons, and interest factors. It is difficult to promote reforms with cases, and special rectification tasks are heavy, and the results come from Not easy.
Summarizing the Wang Xiaoguang case's experience in promoting reform and special rectification, there are the following enlightenments.
First, strengthen unified leadership, build a linkage mechanism between upper and lower levels, and realize overall planning and systematic advancement.
The reason why the Wang Xiaoguang case promotes reform work through the case can be carried out from point to point, comprehensively promoted, and thoroughly managed. The fundamental reason is that General Secretary Xi Jinping personally selected and promoted the issue, and the Party Central Committee scientifically planned and proceeded firmly.
The National Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels rely on front-line supervision, follow-up supervision, and full-process supervision to give full play to the role of supervision, guarantee implementation, and promotion of perfect development; local and enterprise party organizations strengthen political responsibility, and the main responsible comrades assume political responsibilities , To promote the implementation personally, to truly implement the "two maintenances", to achieve a nationwide game of chess, and form an overall joint force to promote reform through cases.
Second, focus on rectification and construction on the one hand, so as to realize the two-handed and two-handed promotion of reform and enterprise development.
In the Wang Xiaoguang case, the work of promoting reform with the case focuses on the main line of coordinating the promotion of the righteousness and anti-corruption and the expansion and strengthening of state-owned enterprises, focusing on solving the interconnection between the "incorruptibility" of leading cadres and the "bad" corporate management, as well as the intertwining of political and economic issues. , Find out the routines of "relying on" and "eating", cut off the chain of "receiving" and "sending", lay down the "combined punch" of case investigation, warning education, establishment of rules and regulations, and realize the promotion of reform and enterprise development by case Parallel and not contradictory, complement each other, not only block leading cadres to use valuable special resources and special resources for personal gain "secret path", but also promote the high-quality development of Moutai Group.
Third, focus on specific issues that the masses have strongly reflected, and identify small cuts that are easy to correct, opening up the overall situation of promoting development.
In the Wang Xiaoguang case, the work of promoting reform with the case firmly grasps the characteristics of the case, finds the right entry point, and deepens the expansion from easy to difficult.
From Kweichow’s Moutai to the “sky-priced cigarettes”, “customized wines”, “special teas”, “famous jade”, and “rare medicines” in various localities and departments, from the outstanding Moutai monopoly management rights to corporate procurement and production , Sales, management, infrastructure, investment and other whole-process governance, from investigating the "Moutai chaos" under the eyes of the masses, to digging into the hidden behind the use of power for personal gain and benefit transmission, from taking the case as a mirror, using the case to promote change to special management, System governance has always been based on the important goal of promoting development, and has achieved good results in improving governance efficiency in a small way.
Fourth, insist on rectification, summary, consolidation, and promotion. In the Wang Xiaoguang case, the work of promoting reform through the case has been promoted from trial first to nationwide promotion, always insisting on investigating and handling cases, forcing reforms, and promoting organic integration of development, focusing on party style issues and anti-corruption work, insisting on the integration of discipline, law, reason, and precise application of the "fourth" To clear stocks and curb increments in various forms; to tighten the cage of the system and mechanism from the perspective of “cannot be corrupted”, to form a rectification work mechanism from “remedial measures” to “precautionary measures”; and to strengthen ideological education from the perspectives of interpreting cases and disciplines. Solve the "master switch" problem of "do not want to be corrupt". Through such a closed loop of work, the overall effect of rectification, summary, consolidation, and expansion will be formed to ensure the integrated advancement of pre-case supervision, intra-case supervision, and post-case supervision, and promote the firm, steady, solid, effective, and high-quality development of discipline inspection and supervision.
