Four major "crimes"
Why would a well-behaved executive of a listed company take risks and embark on the path of crime? The answer can be summed up in one word: greed.
Crime One: Misappropriation of Huge Assets
Huawei Electronics pointed out that it is understood that during his tenure in Shanghai Pengsheng and Huawei Electronics, Wang Yufeng directly committed or ordered employees to commit criminal acts such as embezzling company assets and disrupting the country’s economic order in order to obtain huge illegal profits. , Criminal acts and harmful consequences involve many provinces and cities across the country.
At present, the Jilin police have filed a case for Wang Yufeng’s suspected crime of occupational embezzlement, and delivered the “Notice of Case Filing” to Huawei Electronics. Due to the huge amount of money involved in the case of Wang Yufeng and others, the public security organs have seized and frozen a large amount of Wang Yufeng's property involved in the case according to law, and imposed compulsory measures such as restricting Wang Yufeng and others from leaving the country.
Crime 2: extortion

During this period, they continued to extort Shanghai Pengsheng.
Crime 3: Intimidate and threaten accountants
Since 2015, in addition to continuing to plant and fabricate the financial fraud of listed companies, Wang Yufeng has also continued to use text messages, letters, phone calls, etc.Intimidation, threats, and harassment of independent directors, directors, and accountants of audit institutions have seriously disrupted the normal operation and management order of listed companies.

130,000 shareholders have quarreled...
As of the end of the third quarter of 2021, there are 127,500 shareholders of Huawei Electronics.
Regarding the above incident, some shareholders said, "Fish and shrimp are similar, and the advantage of public opinion cannot offset the crime of non-disclosure of 400 million yuan in debt." Optimistically, "The previous rumors have now been clarified, and we are optimistic about the company's follow-up market."
In fact, the equity dispute between Wang Yufeng and Zeng Tao, the actual controller of Huawei Electronics, has lasted for several years.
Before November 29, 2014, Wang Yufeng held 24.53% equity of Shanghai Pengsheng, and Zeng Tao was the controlling shareholder of Huawei Electronics. On the 29th, Wang Yufeng signed the "Equity Transfer Agreement" with Zeng Tao, and Wang Yufeng transferred his equity to Zeng Tao. Subsequently, Chen Zufang and Liang Zhiyong transferred a total of 55% of Tianjin Huahan's shares to Zeng Tao.
Until September 2015, Zeng Tao held 55% of Tianjin Huahan; Tianjin Huahan held 30.12% of Shanghai Pengsheng; Zeng Tao held 13.16% of Shanghai Pengsheng; Shanghai Pengsheng held 23.51% of Huawei Electronics %. The actual controller of Huawei Electronics was changed from Liang Zhiyong to Zeng Tao.
In November 2015, Wang Yufeng filed a lawsuit with Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Court in Shanghai Pengsheng and Tianjin Huahan Equity Dispute, but later withdrew the lawsuit. In January 2018, Wang Yufeng filed a lawsuit with Tianjin Higher People's Court on the above facts, after which the Tianjin Higher People's Court and the Supreme People's Court made rulings on the issue of jurisdiction and transferred the case to Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate People's Court for jurisdiction. The case was first-instanced by the Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate People's Court, which rejected all the claims of Wang Yufeng and Chen Zufang; and after the second instance of the Shanghai Higher People's Court, the final judgment rejected the appeal of Wang Yufeng and Chen Zufang and upheld the original judgment.
In addition, some media have questioned the source of the funds used to acquire equity.
In December 2019, some domestic media reported that Zeng Tao, the real controller of Huawei Electronics, used the funds for the acquisition of equity from listed companies, and the allotment funds of the controlling shareholder also came from listed companies, and were arranged by the company's chairman Xia Zengwen. This also aroused the attention of the regulators, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange issued a supervisory work letter to China Microelectronics.
However, when replying to the supervisory letter, Huawei Electronics denied relevant media reports. Huawei Electronics stated that after verification by all directors, supervisors and senior management, there are no instructions and fund arrangements for the equity transfer and allotment funds of the company's chairman Xia Zengwen. The 344 million yuan of equity acquisition funds are shareholders' own and self-raised funds, not from listing company. The controlling shareholder's allotment funds come from self-raised funds, not directly or indirectly from listed companies.
In addition to the above-mentioned problems, Huawei Electronics was also ordered to correct by taking because it failed to disclose its 400 million yuan in debt.
It is understood that on March 12, 2020, Huawei Electronics and Zheshang Bank Co., Ltd. Shenyang Branch signed the "Asset Pool Business Cooperation Agreement". From March 13th to 23rd, 2020, Huawei Electronics deposited RMB 400 million in the Zheshang Bank's asset pool, and at the same time accumulated a total of RMB 400 million in principal, with a financing period of one year. However, Huawei Electronics did not disclose the above-mentioned liabilities in the 2020 annual report, resulting in an undercalculation of 400 million yuan in liabilities. In addition, the restriction of 400 million yuan in monetary funds was not disclosed in the 2020 annual report. In this regard, the Jilin Supervisory Bureau of the China Securities Regulatory Commission has taken corrective measures.
In addition, Huawei Electronics also has inaccurate disclosure of financial data in regular reports, and has not timely disclosed liabilities and monetary capital restrictions, resulting in prepaid accounts and short-term borrowings in the 2020 annual report and the 2021 third quarter report. , total assets, net cash flow from investing activities, net cash flow from financing activities and other items are inaccurately presented.
Regarding the above-mentioned behaviors, the Jilin Securities Regulatory Bureau decided to take corrective measures, and issued regulatory warnings to Xia Zengwen, the then chairman and acting board secretary of China Microelectronics, and Wang Xiaolin, the then chief financial officer. It is required to fully learn lessons, strengthen the study of relevant laws and regulations, improve the awareness of standardized operation, and do a good job of information disclosure work.
Conclusion
Of course, despite the frequent spread of Huawei Electronics' "black material", it is different from Wang Yufeng's criminal behavior. There is no causal relationship in logic, and they cannot be compared in principle. Therefore, " International E-Commerce " believes that it is necessary to be hardworking, and operating companies must adhere to the legal bottom line and policy red line, and must always regulate corporate behavior within the legal framework. Don't step on the line, don't cross the line. Editor in charge of
