[#举报马正其# 就凭这样一个假文件，75万国有资产就蒸发无踪了。“公务员私营企业”重庆万州乳峰乳业的老板牟东安冯国琼夫妇和刘弘，实在好惬意！] ([#Report on Ma Zhengqi#] Relying on this false document, RMB 750,000 of state-owned assets evaporated without a trace. The couple, Mou Dongan and Feng Guoqiong, along with Liu Hong, the bosses of Chongqing Wanzhou Rufeng Dairy...are all really comfortable!)
