Hu Jinlin's days became turbulent, and every day he searched around for updates on the situation. In July, some famous industrial and commercial households in Liushi Town were called to the working group, and a few went in but did not come out again. Hu Jinlin knew that a storm was coming. One evening, a town official rode his bicycle past his doorstep and suddenly stopped, whispering to him, "No, it's going to rain heavily!" Then he quickly rode away. Hu Jinlin turned around and ran into the house, pulling out 500 pounds of grain coupons, 2000 yuan in cash, and various documents that had been prepared long ago from the drawer. Without even saying goodbye to his wife, he hurriedly escaped from Liushi Town.

At 12 o'clock that night, the police car whistled and stopped at his doorstep. Caught an empty space.

Two months later, Hu Jinlin was wanted nationwide by the Ministry of Public Security on charges of "speculation and profiteering" and "seriously disrupting economic order". Seven industrial and commercial households in Liushi also suffered this fate, namely the "King of Coils" Zheng Xiangqing, the "King of Catalogs" Ye Jianhua, the "King of Screws" Liu Dayuan, the "King of Mining Lanterns" Cheng Buqing, the "King of Contracts" Li Fangping, the "King of Electrical Appliances" Zheng Yuanzhong, and the "King of Used Goods" Wang Maiqian. These seven people, together with Hu Jinlin, are collectively known as the "Eight Great Kings", which caused a sensation throughout the country in the "Eight Great Kings Incident".
