Chapter 178: Four Major Cyber Fraud Families (Part 4)
In private, Bai Yingcang lives a very extravagant and high-profile life. On his 30th birthday, he held a big birthday party in Cangsheng Technology Park and invited a number of celebrities to shoot blessing videos for him.
Wei Qingtao gave Bai Yingcang a luxury car as a birthday gift. Wei Qingtao is a member of the Wei family in Kokang.
Bai Yingcang displayed his watch in a high-profile manner at his birthday party. Some careful netizens discovered that this was suspected to be a limited edition luxury brand watch, priced at around 350 million yuan.
The extravagant life is built on the Bai family's black industry. The main industries of the Bai family are Yum Group, Cangsheng Technology Park, and Xin Baili Group. Yum Group operates gambling, real estate and other industries, and is managed by Bai Sucheng's eldest son Bai Yingneng. Cangsheng Technology Park is one of the most fraudulent parks in Kokang, and is managed by Bai Yingcang.
Xin Baili Group is managed by Bai Suocheng's second daughter Bai Yinglan. Among Bai Suocheng's four daughters, Bai Yinglan is the most outstanding.
Bai Yinglan, known as the "first socialite" of Kokang, can be seen in various high-class occasions in Lao Cai. Bai Yinglan is the chairman of Xin Baili Group. Through Xin Baili, she operates hotels and tourism, and covers underground gambling, pornography, fraud and other black industries. She and Wei Rong, the daughter of the Wei family, are good friends. The two often attend various activities in Kokang together. Wei Rong is good at using short videos to promote and attract traffic. Bai Yinglan also uses short videos to attract traffic and beautify and package gambling, fraud and other industries.
These so-called managers and celebrities in Kokang are secretly engaged in the black industry, and on the surface they are actively doing charity to create a good image. Bai Yinglan is known as the "Goddess of Love" in Kokang. She established a charity welfare association in northern Myanmar and often attends charity events. Her father, Bai Suocheng, established the Bai Suocheng Education Fund in 2019 and paid salaries to Kokang teachers in his personal name. However, some careful netizens noticed that when the Bai Suocheng Education Foundation sent love, the bag of money was printed with the words "Tenglong Entertainment". Tenglong Entertainment is a casino.
Why do these courageous managers, so-called celebrities, insist on getting involved in black industries such as cyber fraud?
"These armed forces in northern Myanmar are probably controlled by various families, with a few hundred people at least, thousands or even tens of thousands at most. It must cost a lot of financial and material resources to support these armed forces."
The four major families in Kokang control a total of three armed forces. One is the militia brigade, which has about 1700 people and is controlled by the Bai Suocheng family. Bai Suocheng's second son Bai Yingcang serves as the captain of the militia brigade. Another is the 1006 Border Defense Battalion, which is controlled by the Wei Chaoren family and is headed by Wei Chaoren's younger brother Wei Huairen. Another armed force is the Kokang Police Battalion, which is controlled by the Ming Xuechang family. The supplies of these armed forces are entirely dependent on themselves. Due to the need to support the army, these local families all run black industries and earn huge profits.
As the leader of the Kokang region, Bai Suocheng tried his best to present himself as an upright local official. In fact, he not only allowed his children to engage in fraud and gambling, but he himself was also a patron of the Kokang fraud and other black industries.
Someone ranked these electronic fraud parks in northern Myanmar, and the electronic fraud park affiliated with Bai Sucheng's family ranked first in terms of fraud methods and ruthlessness.
In Cangsheng Technology Park, which is managed by Bai Yingcang, there is a notorious fraud company called "King Group". "King Group" has more than 30 fraudulent betting sites. The so-called betting sites can be understood as fraudulent tactics. In addition to the often-heard "public security, procuratorial and judicial" impersonations and emotional "pig-killing betting sites", King Group also develops stock betting sites, futures betting sites, foreign exchange betting sites, etc., and tailors fraud routines for different targets. The average minimum profit target for each betting site is 1 million per quarter.
It is extremely difficult for fraudsters in the park to escape. Since Bai Yingcang is the captain of the Kokang militia, these armed forces have become the guards of the family's black industry. There are more than 40 armed security guards in the fraud park. Once you enter the fraud park, you need to pay at least or yuan to leave the park.
If the Bai Sucheng family's online fraud group ranks first in Kokang, the Wei family's online fraud group can be ranked second in Kokang.
Wei Chaoren, the eldest of the Wei family, was once a member of the Kokang Autonomous Region Committee and was in charge of the political and legal system. The Wei family controlled the 1006 Border Defense Battalion and was the only family in Kokang that had a regular army. Wei Chaoren later handed over the Border Defense Battalion to his younger brother Wei Huairen. After Wei Chaoren passed away, Wei Huairen became the de facto helmsman of the Wei family.
"Wei Chaoren's family controls an army in the Kokang region. Because they have a border defense battalion, they can use the private armed forces of the border defense battalion to provide armed protection for these fraud farms, take the opportunity to collect high protection fees, and use the power in their hands to serve their own private interests."
The family assets of the Wei family are mainly managed by Wei Chaoren's eldest daughter, Wei Rong. Wei Rong has received higher education, understands business, and also understands publicity. During the Chinese New Year, she would record several different versions of the New Year's greetings video, one for the customers and one for the majority of netizens in the society.
Unlike his father who was openly engaged in the black industry, Wei Rong was good at image engineering and beautifying the company. The Henry Group, which Wei Rong was in charge of, used the hotel, real estate and jewelry business as a cover, but was actually engaged in telecommunications fraud, gambling and other activities. The black industry also extended to Cambodia and Thailand.
"Wei Rong used her beauty to do a lot of publicity on social media, packaging her company as a technology company or other formal companies, in order to attract business to protect her fraudulent interests. She has quite a lot of methods, which is why her fraudulent industry has emerged so rapidly in recent years and why she has accumulated so much wealth."
Wei Rong's cousin, Wei Huairen's son Wei Qingsong, is publicly known as a member of the Supervisory Committee of the 1006 Border Defense Battalion. In fact, he also manages an online fraud park, VIA Industrial Park.
These major families sometimes even fight each other in order to compete for cyber fraud practitioners.
A few years ago, a fierce gunfight broke out next to the Dongcheng Xingfu Bridge fraud park of the Ming Xuechang family. A Lexus was attacked by armed personnel from a high altitude, and the two sides fired at each other. Afterwards, the 21st Battalion of the Kokang Police Force, which is under the control of the Ming family, issued a statement, saying that the gunfight two days ago was a personal conflict between the two companies due to misunderstanding, and it was entirely the personal behavior of the management group. However, the Ming family, with such strength, cannot be included in the four major families in northern Myanmar.
In fact, this was a fight between the Bai family and the Wei family to seize the fraud park and fraud personnel. This kind of thing is actually commonplace, so everyone is not surprised!
