The naturalised Chinese man and tenant of Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo who is at the centre of bribery allegations by US-based network VICE Media, has a number of businesses here and they include construction, fuel, large scale lumber and quarrying operations.
Su Zhi Rong (also known as Su Zhirong) has been operating in Guyana since before 2006 and was the recipient of a large lumber concession under his company Rong–An Inc.
Rong-An Inc. was incorporated here in 2006 and had submitted an application the same year for authorisation to undertake large-scale logging and the operation of a portable sawmill within SFEP 02/ 2011, located on the right bank of the Berbice River and left bank of the Corentyne River in Region 6. The company had said that it would be plugging some US$20M into the investment.
