China Renaissance suspends trading, delays results after founder’s disappearance | CNN Business

China Renaissance Suspends Trading and Delays Results Amid Founder's Disappearance.

China Renaissance, a prominent dealmaker in China's tech industry, has suspended trading of its shares and delayed the release of its annual results due to the disappearance of its founder, Bao Fan. The 52-year-old entrepreneur started the boutique investment bank in 2005 but has been unreachable since mid-February, according to the company.

Since Bao's absence, shares in China Renaissance have plummeted by as much as 50%. The company cited that auditors couldn't complete their work or sign off on their report due to Bao's unavailability. Moreover, the board was unable to provide an estimate for when it would approve its audited results for 2022 and dispatch its annual report by an April 30 deadline.

Bao Fan is known as a veteran dealmaker who has worked closely with top technology companies in China. He played a key role in brokering the 2015 merger between Meituan and Dianping, two of China's leading food delivery services. The combined company's "super app" platform is now ubiquitous in China.

The news comes amid an investigation by China's top anti-graft watchdog into Liu Liange, former party secretary and chairman of Bank of China. Liu is suspected of "serious violations of discipline and law." This is part of a broader financial crackdown by President Xi Jinping against senior financial executives.

This latest development highlights the risks and uncertainties faced by investors in China's tech industry. The disappearance of Bao Fan, one of the most influential dealmakers in the country, has sent shockwaves through the market, with shares suspended and results delayed.
 
🚨 This whole thing is getting crazy! Like I don't even know what's going on anymore 🤯. One minute you've got this dude Bao Fan, who's like a big deal in China's tech world, making all these connections and brokering mergers... next thing you know he just vanishes into thin air 😱, and now the whole company is struggling? 50% drop in shares? That's insane 🤯! And it's not just Bao Fan, there's this other dude Liu Liange who's got some serious issues going on, and now the government is cracking down on financial execs? What's really going on behind closed doors here? 🤔🚫
 
😬 This is getting crazy! I mean, who expects their founder to just disappear like that? 50% drop in shares is insane 🤯. China's tech industry is already so unpredictable, but this is taking it to a whole new level. Bao Fan's disappearance has definitely cast a shadow over the market. I'm curious what's going on behind the scenes... is he even alive or did he just vanish into thin air? 🕵️‍♂️ This investigation into Liu Liange is also super interesting, but let's not forget about Bao Fan's situation right now 😅. We'll have to wait and see how this all plays out 👀
 
What's up w/ this?! I mean, I knew something fishy was goin' on but 50% plummet? That's wild! 🤯 China Renaissance is like a ghost town now 😱. Bao Fan, huh? Never heard of him but if he's the kingpin of dealmaking, that's serious stuff 💼. And Liu Liange, another high-profile guy in trouble... this whole thing just gets more and more convoluted 🤯.

I'm just worried 'bout these investors who are left holdin' the bag 🤑. What's gonna happen to their money? Will they ever get their results back on track? And what's the real reason behind Bao's disappearance? You think it's related to the anti-graft investigation or somethin'? 🤔

This whole thing is a mess, and I just don't know what's next 🤯. China Renaissance should really prioritize gettin' their act together ASAP 💪. And for the love of all things good... find out what happened to Bao Fan already! 😩
 
🤦‍♂️ I mean, what a great time to suspend trading and delay results... just when everyone was about to make some sweet gains on China Renaissance 🤑. Meanwhile, Bao Fan's disappearance is being treated like a serious business move (lol, no). 50% drop in shares? No problem, right? It's not like it's a red flag for the entire company or anything 🚨. And poor Liu Liange getting caught up in this financial crackdown... like, who needs a party secretary when you've got a disappearing CEO, am I right? 😏 Anyway, just your average Tuesday in China 🙃.
 
Umm this is getting crazy 😱 China's tech scene is already super competitive but now we got a founder missing 🤯 like what are they even gonna do? Shares dropping 50% is wild 💸 the thought of auditors not being able to work on the report due to his unavailability just puts me at ease haha 🙄 anyway Liu Liange's whole situation with anti-graft investigation seems pretty shady 💔 but yeah China's got a lot on its plate right now 🤯 and it's not all about tech anymore 📊
 
😱💸😵 oh man this is crazy! 🤯 China Renaissance just took a huge hit because their founder went missing 💔 and now investors are all like "what's going on?" 🤑😬 50% drop in share price? 📉 that's wild 🌪️ I mean Bao Fan was a big deal 🙌 in the tech industry, working with top companies and brokering major deals 🤝 but disappearance is never good 🚫 especially when it happens suddenly like this 😱. And to make matters worse, there's this investigation into Liu Liange 🚔 which adds more uncertainty 🕳️ to the already shaky market 📈📉 investors are right to be worried 😬💸 China Renaissance needs to figure out what's going on ASAP ⏰ or things might get even worse 💥.
 
🚨 This is getting crazy! A whole big company gets suspended just because their founder disappears? Like what even is going on here? 🤯 The shares have dropped by 50% already?! And now they're like "we can't do our audit" because the CEO isn't available? Come on, that's just ridiculous. Someone needs to get this guy and figure out what's going on ASAP! ⏰ This is exactly why I don't invest in China tech anymore 🚫
 
omg this is getting crazy 🤯 china renaissance just suspended trading because their founder went MIA 🚫 50% drop in share price? wild 📉 can't wait to see how this all plays out 👀 so many questions unanswered, like what's going on with bao fan and will he ever come back? 🕰️ hope the board gets its act together soon 💪
 
OMG, this is getting serious 💸😬! I'm so worried about Bao Fan, he was like a legend in China's tech world 🙏. His disappearance is like a domino effect on the whole market, it's crazy how one person can make such a big impact 💥. The fact that shares have plummeted by 50% is terrifying 😱. I mean, what if something bad happened to him? 🤔 The authorities need to do something ASAP to find out where he is and put his mind at ease 🙏. This whole thing just goes to show how unstable the financial markets can be in China right now 💸😬. We need to keep our fingers crossed that everything gets sorted out soon 🤞! #ChinaRenaissance #BaoFan #InvestorConcerns
 
I'm not surprised to see China Renaissance suspending trading like this 🤔. I mean, Bao Fan is a legend in the industry and his disappearance does raise some serious red flags 😬. But at the same time, 50% slump in shares? That's just crazy talk 💸. I think we need more info before we jump to conclusions about what really went down here 🤷‍♂️.

And can we talk about how this investigation into Liu Liange is affecting China's tech industry as a whole? It feels like there's this perpetual fear of "serious violations of discipline and law" lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce on someone 😳. I get it, corruption is a big deal, but at what cost to innovation and growth?

I just hope Bao Fan turns up soon and things can go back to normal 🙏. But until then, I'll be keeping a close eye on this situation and waiting for more details to emerge 🔍.
 
I'm not surprised that China Renaissance is getting hammered on the markets 🤯. It's like, when someone high up disappears (and it sounds pretty serious), you gotta pause everything until they show their face again 👀. I mean, this isn't some startup with a dodgy CEO; we're talking about one of the most influential dealmakers in China's tech industry! That's not something to be taken lightly 💸. The fact that shares have plummeted 50% is wild, but it just goes to show how fragile the whole system is 📉. I'm all for keeping a level head and waiting for more info, but come on... the Chinese government isn't exactly known for its transparency here 😐. This just adds to the list of red flags when it comes to investing in China's tech sector 💔.
 
This is getting messy 🤯... can't believe they're just suspending trading like that. 50% drop in shares? That's crazy 💸. Can't even get audited without Bao Fan around 🤑. What kind of "veteran dealmaker" disappears on us like this? 🤔 Still, gotta wonder if it's related to Xi's financial crackdown... might be a sign of things to come 🚨
 
🤔💸 China Renaissance is in trouble 🚨💥 What's going on? 🤷‍♂️ The founder just disappeared ⬇️ and now all hell breaks loose 💣 Shares are tanking 50% 📉 Who knows what happened to Bao Fan 🙈 Maybe someone should get to the bottom of this 🕵️‍♂️

🚨 can't believe this is happening to someone who was basically a god in the Chinese startup scene. 50% drop in shares? that's like a death sentence for investors 🤯 what's next? 🤑 is china's financial crackdown just getting more intense or something? 📉
 
I'm like totally worried about this, fam 🤕. I mean, a founder just disappears and suddenly shares are tanking? That's some crazy stuff! It's not just about China Renaissance, it's about the whole ecosystem. What if Bao Fan was involved in something shady? Or what if there's a bigger issue with the company that we're not aware of? 🤔 The uncertainty is giving me anxiety 😓.

And let's be real, this news comes at a time when there's already so much going on in China. The financial crackdown and all that... it's like, we need some stability, you know? 🙏 I'm just keeping an eye on this situation, but for now, I'd say it's best to just sit tight and wait for more info 👀.
 
omg this is like so alarming 🤕! i cant even imagine what would happen if our favorite wellness guru (me 😂) just vanished into thin air! at least bao fan was a big shot dealmaker who had his life together 💼. but seriously, 50% drop in shares? that's like a downward spiral of stress and anxiety for investors 📉. and it's not just the financial aspect, its also about the uncertainty and fear that comes with it 😬. china's been going through this huge financial crackdown and now bao fan disappears? its like, what's next? 🤯 anyway, let's hope everything gets sorted out soon and bao fan turns up safe and sound 🙏🏼. in the meantime, let's take a deep breath and focus on our own mindfulness journey 💆‍♀️.
 
omg this is soooo sus what's going on with bao fan?! 50% drop in shares already? that's crazy! i'm thinking something more sinister than just a simple founder disappearance... maybe it's related to those financial crackdowns under president xi Jinping? idk but china's tech industry is already super sketchy anyway
 
omg what's going on with china renaissance?? 🤯 i cant even imagine what it must be like for investors to deal with this kinda thing. 50% drop in share price is crazy talk! 🤪 and now they're delaying results because the founder is MIA? that's just terrifying... poor guy was supposed to make his report by april 30th but now its all delayed 📝

i remember when bao fan worked on that meituan and dianping merger back in 2015 it was a huge deal 🤯 how did we not know something like this would happen? 🙃 anyway, hope he turns up soon or whatever 😟
