It was disclosed twice before and after, with different data.
The relationship is intricate and it is suspected that many benefits are conveyed
According to China’s Industrial Economic InformationAccording to the disclosure of the prospectus, Guangzhou Jiayin Label Paper Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Guangzhou Jiayin) is a company in which Shen Cheng, the nephew of Shen Yunli, the actual controller of Jiuheng Barcode, presides over 10% of the shares and serves as the legal representative. It is Jiuheng. Barcode Affiliate.
Financial information shows that Guangzhou Jiayin has a close relationship with Jiuheng barcode business. For example, Guangzhou Jiayin was the fifth largest supplier of Jiuheng Barcode in 2016. Jiuheng Barcode purchased 17.8098 million yuan of hot melt adhesive from Guangzhou Jiayin that year, accounting for 3.45%.
Inquiring about the industrial and commercial information, the total sales of Guangzhou Jiayin in 2016 was 22,359,200 yuan. Based on the annual sales performance of 22,359,200 yuan, Jiuheng Barcode contributed 17,809,800 yuan, accounting for nearly 80%. It can be said that , It is the business of Jiuheng barcode that supports Guangzhou Jiayin.
There is also a noteworthy piece of information. Guangzhou Jiayin paid social security to only 5 people in 2016. By 2017 and 2018, after Jiuheng Barcode reduced related transactions and greatly reduced the purchase of Guangzhou Jiayin, Guangzhou Jiayin paid social security personnel was also reduced to one or even one person.
It can be seen that the operation of Guangzhou Jiayin relies heavily on Jiuheng barcode. However, there are many doubts about the transaction between Jiuheng Barcode and Guangzhou Jiayin. Jiuheng Barcode disclosed in the prospectus that during the reporting period, it only sold 273,600 yuan of release paper and printed matter to Guangzhou Jiayin in 2016, which was a small amount and had limited impact on the company’s operating results. However, in the accounts receivable and payable of related parties, Jiuheng Barcode also disclosed that Jiuheng Barcode had accounts receivable of 1.1538 million yuan from Guangzhou Jiayin in 2017. However, there were no accounts receivable in 2016, that is to say, this was a new account receivable in 2017.
What is strange is that according to the disclosure of the previous related transactions, Jiuheng Barcode did not have any related sales to the related party Guangzhou Jiayin in 2017, but this year it generated 1,153,800 yuan of accounts receivable . So, how did this account receivable come about?
In addition to the suspicious transactions with Guangzhou Jiayin, the relationship between Jiuheng Barcode and Dongguan Yongcheng Electronics Co., Ltd. and Dongguan Tiancheng Paper Co., Ltd. is also complicated.
From the perspective of equity relationship, natural person Li Yong holds 100% equity of Dongguan Yongcheng Electronics Co., Ltd. and 80% equity of Dongguan Tiancheng Paper Co., Ltd. The information disclosed in public information shows that Li Yong has a close relationship with Shen Yunli, the actual controller of Jiuheng barcode. According to the information from Tianyancha, there are a total of 12 companies that have relations with Li, of which at least 5 are related to Shen Yunli, the actual controller of Jiuheng Barcode.
For example, Li Yong holds a 5% stake in Guangzhou Lanxing New Energy Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Guangzhou Lanxing) and serves as a supervisor of this company. The remaining 95% of Guangzhou Lanxing is owned by Zeng Xianglan, who is Shen Yunli ‘s spouse. Guangzhou Yixin Investment Co., Ltd. and Shantou Yixin Gas Thermal Power Co., Ltd. are both companies invested by Guangzhou Lanxing.
Jianghua Yao Autonomous County Jiuheng Wind Power Co., Ltd. is an enterprise directly controlled by Shen Yunli, with a shareholding ratio of 70%. Li Yong also participated in the company, holding a shareholding ratio of 15%. In addition, Jianghua Jiuheng New Energy Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 100 million yuan, is also one of the companies that Li Yong and Shen Yunli cooperate with, holding 7% and 75.68% of the shares respectively.
It can be seen that although Li Yong and the actual controller of Jiuheng Barcode are not related, they are very close, and Jiuheng Barcode does not need to disclose this in the prospectus. However, Jiuheng Barcode frequently purchases from the company controlled by Li Yong. The information disclosed in the prospectus shows that Dongguan Tiancheng Paper Co., Ltd. is the fourth largest supplier of Jiuheng Barcode in 2017. Jiuheng Barcode purchased 34.3921 million yuan from Tiancheng Paper in that year, accounting for 4.73%.
Tiancheng Paper was established on October 20, 2016. It became one of the top five suppliers of Jiuheng barcode in 2017, and did not enter the top five in 2018 and 2019. In 2016, Tiancheng Paper’s operating income was nearly 2.5 million yuan, and no employees paid social security; in 2017, Tiancheng Paper’s annual sales increased to 37.39 million yuan, and the number of social security contributions increased to 1 person.
In addition, according to the prospectus, the purchase amount of Jiuheng Barcode from Tiancheng Paper in 2017 was 34.39 million yuan. It can be seen that in addition to Jiuheng Barcode, Tiancheng Paper only sold about 3 million yuan in that year. 2016 was comparable in size. It can be seen that Tiancheng Paper’s business is also supported by Jiuheng barcode.
