There are frequent reports of collapses at Fengyi construction sites, with even Tesla falling into them, attracting national attention. (Provided by Mirror News) Text
According to the investigation of this publication, the task force discovered based on Fengyi’s internal accounts that its subsidiary Songen Construction Company spent 40,000 yuan each on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival in September 2023 to purchase 30 Sheraton Hotel meal coupons and presented them to the Hsinchu County Government Works Department Waiting for officials, they spent 80,000 yuan just to buy meal coupons during the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2018. On the surface, it was a Mid-Autumn Festival gift, but it was actually a stepping stone in political and business relations, because at that time, there were many collapse accidents in the Fengyi construction project. In addition to rushing to carry out construction site repairs, They are also busy appeasing the dissatisfaction of officials who have been bombarded by residents.
Officials’ private acceptance of meal coupons not only involves corruption, but also violates the administrative ethics of civil servants. One official involved in the case told the prosecutor: “All the meal coupons have been used up!” Apparently he ignored the angry residents and secretly invited his friends to the Sheraton Hotel. Eat together. When the task force searched Yang Wenke’s residence, although they did not seize this batch of Sheraton meal coupons, they found another batch of numerous National Library Gift Certificates. They even seized 400,000 yuan and 120,000 yuan in cash from his official residence and office respectively. Although Yang Wenke argued that the money was living capital, the investigation was doubtful. Are the more than 520,000 yuan and the national map gift certificates related to the Fengyi case? Awaiting further investigation.
In order to calm the sentiments of residents affected by the sinkhole case, the county government held a meeting of the task force in August last year and required Fengyi to issue a test report from a third-party notary unit before work might resume. In order to avoid further losses, Fengyi issued a test report issued by the Taoyuan City Structural Technicians Association. The “Safety Appraisal Report on the Current Conditions of Surrounding Roads following the Disaster” will be used as third-party information to strive to start construction as soon as possible.
An insider told this publication that the appraisal data mentioned that the depth of subsidence at different observation points on the construction site was 2.5 centimeters and 6 centimeters respectively. The amount of subsidence was quite large, but there was no continued trend of subsidence. However, the inspection asked the association for verification. An in-depth comparison of the original report revealed that someone had tampered with the appraisal report. In addition to some of the monitoring data being tampered with, the association’s seal was also slightly different. Was it the county officials or Fengyi who had tampered with the appraisal report? The task force is working hard to investigate.

According to our investigation, sinkholes have occurred in Fengyi construction projects before. In 2015, Fengyi launched the “Haohan Yipin” in Zhubei, which collapsed three times in three days. Due to large-scale earth and rock collapse, a huge sinkhole the size of a football field appeared. Potholes. From June of the previous year to February of last year, the Fengcai 520 construction site in Fengyi sank five times. Yang Wenke rushed to the scene as soon as possible. Each time, he told the outside world that he had asked the builder to stop the work and conduct a comprehensive investigation. However, following After a while, the builder resumed work, and the sinkhole reappeared, and people suspected that it was a cover-up.
In addition, the task force also received reports that “Fengcai 520” was originally planned as a 13-story department store. It obtained a construction license in 2007 with a validity period of 53 months. However, Fengyi applied for a second change in 2012 with an expired construction license. The design was approved, and the construction plan was raised to a height of 32 stories.
What’s even more ridiculous is that Fengyi Construction changed the building height to 119.8 meters, using a difference of 20 centimeters to avoid the requirement that buildings with a height of 120 meters require environmental impact assessment. Since the county government agreed to pass the approval and escort, will Fengyi’s change application be approved accordingly? The reasons for the recurring sinkholes need to be investigated. As for Luo Shichen, the acting director of the Hsinchu County Environmental Protection Bureau who presided over the environmental impact assessment meeting at the time, he was sentenced to 1 year and 10 months in prison in the first instance the year before last for accepting complaints from other builders, drinking wine and corruption. and was impeached by the Control Council.
Some unscrupulous officials in the Hsinchu County Government have been intertwined with the interests of builders for many years. In addition to the director of the Public Works Department, Jiang Liangyuan, who was detained for nearly 4 months and released on bail, although he has not yet been charged, he returned to the county government and took up a brief position as secretary. However, the investigation was conducted at his residence in Hsinchu The money-hidden notes found during the search showed that he had hidden tens of millions of dollars in cash in the drainage pipes, ceilings, drawers and wardrobes of the balcony of his hometown in Taichung. He claimed that it was money given by his deceased elders and denied that the builder had bribed him. The task force is still investigating Investigation of unknown sources of property and corruption crimes.
