王錫侯

王錫侯(?-1777年),清乾隆江西新昌縣棠浦鎮沐溪村人。
康熙五十二年(1713年)與兄長王景云共同起蒙,為追求功名,自己鎖在王氏祠堂的小房裡,日以繼夜的苦讀。一天三餐,由家人從地檻下的小洞送進去。二十四岁才补博士弟子,1750年,三十八歲中舉。孟森在“字贯案”说王锡侯“盖亦一头巾气极重之腐儒”,“乡里小儒气象”。以十七年光陰自編《字貫》一書,分天文、地理、人事、物類四大類,共四十卷。此書針對《康熙字典》收字太多,“然而穿貫之難”等缺失,加以補強,并称“字犹散钱,义以贯之,贯非有加于钱,钱实不妨用贯,因名之曰《字贯》”。
乾隆四十二年(1777年)為一個仇家王瀧南向江西巡撫海成舉發,又诬陷说,王锡侯有40里花园,10里鱼塘。乾隆以“罪不容誅,即應照大逆律問擬”,抄家時僅獲七十多兩銀子。《字貫》凡例寫入康熙帝、雍正帝、乾隆帝之名諱(玄燁、胤禛、弘曆),沒有缺筆避諱,更被認爲非常不敬。王錫侯被監送京城問斬,子孫七人都被判斬,其他人“充发黑龙江,与披甲人为奴”。胡思敬的《盐乘》说:“被诛时情状甚惨”。原來江西巡撫海成上奏时建议革去王锡侯“举人”头衔,乾隆认为刑罚太轻,有替罪人说好话之嫌,一樣處斬;江西布政使周克开、按察史冯廷丞也因为看过《字贯》一书,未指出悖逆之處,遭到革职處分。

Findings of Fact

1. Dent holds current a certificate No. 008911 as a certified public accountant (C.P.A.), and a permit to practice that expired September 30, 1999. At all relevant times, Dent’s certificate and permit were current and active.
2. Dent was the secretary and treasurer of the following:

1. Sonny Hill Pontiac-Buick-GMC Truck, Inc. in Olathe, Kansas and

2. Sonny Hill Motors, Inc. in Platte City, Missouri,

for which General Motors Acceptance Corporation provided financing; and:

3. Sonny Hill Saturn, Inc. in Olathe, Kansas,
4. Sonny Hill Chrysler-Plymouth-Jeep-Eagle, Inc. of Kansas City, Kansas,
5. Sonny Hill Oldsmobile-GMC Truck, Inc. of Kansas City, Missouri,
6. Sonny Hill North of Platte City, Inc. in Platte City, Missouri,
7. Sonny Hill East, Inc. in Blue Springs, Missouri,
8. Sonny Hill Chevrolet-Geo-Jeep-Eagle, Inc. of Lansing, Kansas and
9. Sonny Hill Chevrolet-Geo-Oldsmobile, Inc. in Lawrence, Kansas,

for which Chrysler Credit Corporation provided financing.

3. To maintain the financing for the dealerships in Findings 2 (the dealerships), Dent and others sent statements of financial standing to General Motors Acceptance Corporation and Chrysler Credit Corporation (the finance companies). Such statements were falsified by inflating the amount of cash the dealerships had. After sending the statements to the finance companies,




the false entries were removed from the statements so the dealerships could have correct financial records to operate on.

4. As a result of relying on the dealerships’ false financial statements,

1. General Motors Acceptance Corporation lost $2,424,770.51;

2. Chrysler Credit Corporation lost $1,265,673.33; and
3. Boatman’s First National Bank of Kansas City, Missouri lost $404,446.

5. On November 22, 1999, the United States District Court for the District of Kansas found Dent guilty based on the facts in Findings 2 through 4 and on his guilty plea of “wire fraud and aiding and abetting” under 18 U.S.C. sections 1343 and 2. The Court imposed a sentence of five years probation and a $5,000 fine. United States v. Dent, Case No. 2:99CR20036-01-GTV.

Automobile manufacturers increasingly turn to outsourcing vehicle components so
they can devote more attention to creating enticing designs and improving production
efficiencies. They partner with experts to supply seats, instrument panels, batteries
and a wide array of other parts – all of which are shipped to auto assembly plants
on a “just-in-time” basis.
The Automotive Systems Group (ASG) of Johnson Controls,
Inc., which provides complete seating systems, headliners
and other interior components to automakers worldwide,
is mirroring the success of its customers by outsourcing
the construction management of its own assembly plants.
That way, ASG can better focus on its core business.
“Outsourcing construction management allows us to build
as many plants as necessary to meet customer demands
without having to worry about staffing,” says Dean Boik,
director of facilities for ASG. “We can undertake one project a year or five projects a
year.” This means his department also is much less prone to add employees in boom
times and lay them off in lean times.
So, when General Motors awarded ASG a major contract to supply seats and
headliners for the Chevrolet Trailblazer and Envoy SUVs at its Oklahoma City plant,
the company turned to its own Controls Group to manage all design and construction
activities for a new facility to serve GM. The Johnson Controls plant encompasses
150,000 square feet, 130,000 of which is dedicated to production and 20,000 to
finished office space.
Construction costs of about $41-per-square-foot were $4-per-square-foot less than
the project’s target, based on the Oklahoma City market. This figure is well below
the range of $45-65-per-square-foot for previous Johnson Controls automotive
seating plants.
