How big is the loss of CCTV fire?
Half a month after the fire at CCTV's new site, there was a new breakthrough in the investigation of dereliction of duty and infringement cases, and about 20 suspects involved were taken measures by the Beijing Public Security Bureau. At about 8: 20 pm on February 9, 2009, during the Lunar New Year Lantern Festival, the staff of CCTV's new site hired a fireworks company to discharge Class A fireworks illegally, which led to a fire in the North Annex Building, which lasted for nearly 6 hours. The accident caused one death and seven injuries (see Caijing, No.4, 2009, Questioning the Fire at CCTV's New Site). At about 22 o'clock that night, Wei Xu, deputy chief engineer of CCTV and director of the new site construction engineering office of CCTV (hereinafter referred to as the new site office of CCTV), was taken away by Hujialou police station of Chaoyang Branch of Beijing Public Security Bureau and was monitored in a hotel. Three staff members of CCTV's new office and eight employees of Hunan Liuyang Sanxiang Fireworks Manufacturing Company, who are responsible for the on-site fireworks display, were also investigated. The above-mentioned 12 people became the first batch of criminal detention targets for allegedly causing accidents with dangerous goods. On February 19, Beijing police detained five more suspects. These include drivers who transport fireworks and firecrackers, and intermediaries who help contact the on-site discharge company. The investigation of Beijing police and prosecutors is not limited to dereliction of duty and infringement, but also extends to the economic problems of CCTV's new site project. Caijing reporter learned from many channels that the person in charge of a project of Beijing Urban Construction Group, which contracted the B section of CCTV new site project (namely the North Annex Building), was investigated by the case-handling department; Li Xiaoming, the fifth vice president of CCTV and the legal representative of the new site of CCTV, was also investigated. Since Zhao Huayong, the current director of CCTV, took charge of CCTV in February, 1999, the business of CCTV has developed in the direction of corporatization and diversification. The construction of the new site of CCTV is also carried out in the company mode. In February, 2008, Zhao Huayong said in the report of the work conference of CCTV that the new site construction project, which was officially started in 2003, won a decisive victory after five years of struggle. Accordingly, in 2003, CCTV and Beijing Guo Jin Management Consulting Co., Ltd., the first enterprise in Beijing specializing in the whole process management of construction projects, jointly established Beijing CCTV Guo Jin Engineering Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as CCTV Guo Jin), and implemented the corporatization operation for the construction of the new CCTV site, with Wei Xu as the legal representative. Xu Wei was able to control the operation of CCTV's 20 billion yuan new site construction fund. On April 28th, 2005, the new CCTV Park located in the core area of Beijing CBD started construction, including the main CCTV building in the southwest, the TVCC TV Culture Center in the northwest (namely the North Annex Building on fire, including Mandarin Oriental Hotel) and the energy service center in the northeast corner. As early as 200 1 year, the former State Planning Commission approved the document "[200 1]2795", and the new CCTV site project was approved with a total investment of 7.666 billion yuan. Among them, CCTV has its own funds of 55170,000 yuan and bank loans of 21490,000 yuan. Since then, the construction period of CCTV's new site has been postponed again and again, and the project cost has also risen again and again. By August 2004, the National Development and Reform Commission approved the capital increase to 789.5438+0 billion yuan. Up to now, the investment in the construction of the new CCTV site has reached 654.38+0.2 billion yuan, and the cost of new equipment has exceeded 7 billion yuan. It is reported that all new equipment will be used when CCTV moves to the new site, and the original equipment will be left at the original site for backup. Caijing reporter learned that on the night of the CCTV fire on February 9, Li Xiaoming was summoned by the case-handling department and immediately went home. The next day, Li was arraigned again. People close to Li Xiaoming said that after the fire broke out, Deputy Director Li Xiaoming was investigated by the case-handling department, but it was not controlled. On February 24th, Li Xiaoming was still working in Taiwan Province. Fireworks are not only the chief culprit of the fire, but also the main breakthrough in the investigation of economic problems. Since 2007, CCTV has set off fireworks in the new site park for three consecutive years, including fireworks worth about 300,000 yuan in 2007 and about 500,000 yuan in 2008. The fireworks that caused the fire claimed to be 6,543,800 yuan. According to CCTV insiders, the actual value is about 350,000 yuan. According to Caijing reporter, the rebate of fireworks industry is as high as 30%. Dealers are profitable. People close to the case told Caijing that the fireworks set off at the new site of CCTV were purchased from Liuyang Sanxiang Company. According to preliminary investigation, Wei Xu got a cash rebate of about 80,000 yuan from Sanxiang Company for this batch of fireworks. This has become a direct breakthrough for Wei Xu's alleged economic problems. Further investigation found that more than 700 fireworks purchased by CCTV's new office were all deducted by Daxin Hengtai. On the night of the fire, Sha Peng, chairman of Daxin Hengtai, was controlled and later detained in criminal detention. On April 12, 2006, CCTV Guo Jin transferred its equity to Influential Media Co., Ltd. ... Influential Media Co., Ltd. relied on CCTV to undertake advertising, consulting and training business for a long time. In 2007, shareholders of Daxin Hengtai Company changed frequently. On July 9 of that year, Xu Shen and Zhao Xuxia withdrew and Huang Lifang entered; 1 17 years 10 17 days, Beijing Asia Ye Zhi Technology Co., Ltd. injected 5 million yuan into Daxin Hengtai, increasing the registered capital to 6,543.8+million yuan. From October 23rd, 2007 to now, Hengli, Huang Lifang and Asian companies have withdrawn. Since then, the company's equity has not changed. The registered capital is 654.38+million yuan, which is jointly contributed by five natural persons: Luo 3.3 million yuan, Zhao Jun 365.438+million yuan, Sha Peng 65.438+08 million yuan, 65.438+05 million yuan and Zhao Xuxia 300,000 yuan. Among the above-mentioned personnel, Zhao Jun and Zhao Xuxia are employees of the new CCTV office, working in key departments; Among them, Zhao Xuxia is Xu Wei's cooperative partner in TV technology, equipment and software engineering for many years. After the construction of the new site began, she was transferred to the new office. According to public information, Daxin Hengtai has operated at least seven businesses related to the new CCTV site project since its establishment three years ago, with a total amount of over 100 million yuan. For example, in 2007, only in the new site project of CCTV, that is, the weak current network system equipment and material supply project, basic application system integration and software development project of service buildings B and A of weak current project were contracted; In 2008, it won the bid for the optical transmission equipment of the Olympic project and the equipment and materials of the AV system of the hotel room in the B section of the new site project; Wait a minute. Subtle "responsibility sharing" has different views on the responsibility of Sanxiang Fireworks Company. Wei Xu's defense lawyer believes that fireworks companies should bear the responsibility of reporting the transportation and discharge of Class A fireworks; However, the voice of opposition believes that Sanxiang Fireworks Company is employed by the new office of CCTV, and the latter is the directly responsible party. According to the information provided by Beijing Fire Bureau, the TV Cultural Center that caught fire has 30 floors, with a height of 159 m and a construction area of 103648 m2. The main structure is reinforced concrete structure, with glass curtain walls on the north and south sides of the facade, titanium-zinc plates on the east and west facades, and extruded plates as external wall insulation materials. From this point of view, although the fire is a "man-made disaster", the insulation material "extruded board" that does not meet the fire protection standards in the building is also an "accomplice". On the afternoon of June 5438+065438+1October 2/kloc-0, 2005, the signing ceremony of curtain wall project between CCTV and Zhongshan Sheng Xing North Annex was held at Fugong Hotel outside Jianguomen, Beijing. Li Xiaoming, deputy director of CCTV, personally attended the signing ceremony. Feng, deputy general manager of Zhongshan Co., Ltd., told Caijing that the relevant departments have been investigating whether the curtain wall fireproof materials meet the standards, and it is not convenient to express their views at present. According to a fire audit opinion obtained by Caijing reporter, Beijing Fire Bureau has put forward 26 fire control rectification measures for the new CCTV site, among which 8 are related to the North Annex Building, such as "changing the refuge floor on the ground14th floor into an expanded smoke-proof front room" and "the gas pipes used in the kitchens on floors 5, 27 and 28 should pass through the fire protection zone from the basement entrance". It can be seen that the negligence of the construction party in fire control is also responsible for not discouraging the owners from setting off fireworks on the night of the Lantern Festival. Nowadays, the North Annex Building of CCTV's new site after the fire is still blocked, and people often stop to take pictures on the side of the Third Ring Road. Whether it is demolished or repaired is a matter of concern. On February 13, CCTV held a high-level meeting and reported internally that the expert group believed that after the fire in the North Annex Building, the loss from the external wall to the interior gradually decreased, and the more serious the loss was. The north-south windows of the building are not damaged, and the indoor items are basically intact. Most rooms with broken glass only have fires near the windows. "According to the preliminary judgment, there is basically no problem with the main structure of the building, and the metal grid hanging the curtain wall is basically intact. The reinforced concrete structure is not damaged, and the truss supporting the roof is not obviously deformed, but some parts need to be repaired. " However, the "expert group" mentioned by CCTV at this meeting invited construction experts. Their preliminary conclusions have no legal effect and have not been recognized by the competent departments of construction and fire control. A person close to the investigation team said that a construction expert invited by CCTV for on-site investigation orally expressed two opinions: six hours of high-temperature combustion led to a sharp decline in structural strength, a significant change in stress, and a great safety hazard; As a landmark building in China, which attracts worldwide attention, it is located in the North China earthquake zone and Beijing Central Business District, and no accidents are allowed. "After burning for five or six hours, the main structure of the building is almost the same." Chaohui Wu, an architect who participated in the preliminary design of the North Annex, said. The TV Culture Center (TVCC) of CCTV was set up in April 2007 by China Radio and Television Satellite Co., Ltd. and China International Television Corporation under CCTV. It is an important part of CCTV's new site construction project and media business. By the time the fire broke out, the TV Cultural Center had invested more than 2 billion yuan. Before 2009, when CCTV registered its assets, it was approved to be 3 billion yuan. The core industries of TV Culture Center are CCTV Hua Hui Times Theatre and Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Mandarin Oriental Hotel has 24 1 deluxe rooms and high-end supporting facilities. It was originally planned to open in mid-2008, but it was postponed until the fire destroyed it in 2009. After the fire, the hotel opening will be postponed indefinitely. CCTV Hua Hui Times Theatre was completed in 2008 and began to undertake performance business. As the opening play, Watch TV with Me has been signed and advertised. Originally planned to be staged on March 8, 2009, all tickets have been sold out. After the fire, the performance must be temporarily terminated and the venue changed, and CCTV TV Cultural Center will face a series of contract disputes. On February 13, the CCTV high-level meeting chaired by Zhao Huayong, the director of CCTV, decided that the relocation plan of the main building of CCTV's new site would remain unchanged and would still be carried out around the National Day this year. CCTV insiders told Caijing that Zhao Huayong, 6 1 year-old, should have retired normally in 2008. After the fire, Zhao Huayong devoted himself to the aftermath, and Zhang Changming, the first deputy director, was responsible for the daily work of CCTV.
