Facts and analysis of failure

1) a very imperfect corporate governance structure: SAC in

Zhengzhou, the largest shareholder hold 14.64%, while the
other top 10 shareholders hold 26 percent, the largest
shareholder will be classified as equity and Zhengbaiwen
business (to give up oversight) . Listed more than 200 million
of funds raised lending, misappropriation of the results has
not yet, in 1998 with the allotment of $ 100 million investment
in building sales networks. Board of Supervisors, without any
objection to the shareholders.

2) management concept confusion: 1998 Annual

Report also acknowledged: weight management,
light management; heavy goods sales, light
business strategy; heavy capital management,
financial risk prevention light; re-building of
network hardware, network software, perfect light;
re-introduction of talents, light staff supervision
and training.

3) Decision-making at random: In 1992 to 6.8 million yuan in
Zhengzhou Italian shoe company shares, but has not
produced. Without feasibility study, it has invested heavily in
more than 40 branches located. In 1998, in the case of
financial constraints, on the allotment of funds 600 million
merger has nothing to do with the main chemical raw material
plant in Zhengzhou, only three companies merged to produce
undetermined investment losses 2,869,700.
4) personnel mismanagement: in order to
stimulate employees to sales targets, targets
were labeled vice president to complete, can be
customized with the car. The results of the
outlets selling price at purchase upside down, a
large number of high-low commodity, leaving
more than 400 million accounts receivable has
not recovered, but as a branch manager,he has
BMW, live in a mansion.
