1 Wan guo cheng (Guangzhou) International Trade Co., Ltd. was established in 2016, and in 2017, Lin Dan used 20,000 yuan to obtain 20% of the shares of wan guo cheng company, but after being added as an "executor" in 2020, Lin Dan withdrew from the ranks of shareholders.
2 The intersection of Lin Dan and The International City is obviously not just about booking air tickets, the fashion mother and baby brand founded by Xie Xingfang is owned by the International City, and Lin Dan only obtained shares in the intangible assets of the athletes.
30,000 NATIONAL CITY once held high the banner of "platform", saying that companies with "successful star business economy trading experience in the Hong Kong market" have been reduced to "leather bag companies" and "scam companies" through and out.
4 Lin Dan not only worked for the City of Nations "free", but also wanted to pay for the cost of air tickets and other expenses that should have been paid by the City of Nations, as for Lin Dan himself, he was also likely to be a "victim".
5 After Lin Dan retired last year, there are as many as 11 companies in direct and indirect parallel, and he is invincible on the badminton court, and it is obvious that more tempering is needed to achieve something in the commercial sea.
On December 14, a news story about "Lin Dan's dispute over air ticket arrears became an executor" rushed to the hot search.
The story is very simple: a company in which Lin Dan participated in owed the ticket payment to a ticket company, and was sued by the other party in court, and after losing the lawsuit, the company refused to fulfill its repayment obligation, so the court added lin Dan, a shareholder of the company, as the executor.
The news came out, and public opinion was in an uproar: Lin Dan, as a sports star, is rich, why drag the ticketing company hundreds of thousands of yuan and not pay back, the result is to damage his reputation?
Debt repayment is a matter of course, not to mention that Lin Dan is certainly not short of the hundreds of thousands involved in the case, and the problem is obviously more than as simple as it seems.
Through a little combing of the situation of the named Wanguocheng (Guangzhou) International Trade Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Wanguocheng") in which Lin Dan participated, it was found that the original problem was not just what everyone saw, the company in which Lin Dan participated was a basket of problems, and if there was no accident, Lin Dan was probably one of the many "victims"!
I'm not an old lai! Lin Dan issued a statement denying that he owed 540,000 air tickets, saying he was unaware of the dispute
The commercial sea is complicated, and Lin Dan also has helplessness
Lin Dan became a "person subject to execution" in this way
How did Lin Dan become an executor?
This has to be done from July 2018 when IWC signed a cooperation agreement with Guangzhou Westminster Travel Ticketing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Westminster"), agreeing to provide ticket services for Lin Dan, Xie Xingfang and the third party designated by the company, and the international city will settle on a monthly basis.
However, since September 2018, The City of Nations has been in arrears in airfare, and by December of that year, it has already defaulted on more than 400,000 yuan in three months.
After many unsuccessful pursuits, Westminster sued the City of Nations to the Tianhe District People's Court in Guangzhou. The court's verdict was soon out: it was ordered that the City of Nations should pay a total of 541661 yuan for Westminster's airfare and interest.
However, in the face of the court's judgment, The City of Nations refused to enforce it, and after Applying to the Court for enforcement, Westminster found that the City of Nations was insolvent and simply could not repay the arrears.
As a result, Westminster's application to add the shareholders of The Universal City as "executors" was again supported by the court.
Since Lin Dan owns 20% of the shares of Wanguo City, he has become an "executor" "logically".
Westminster recovered the fare, which the court upheld
Looking at the history of Wanguocheng, it can be founded that this company was established on March 8, 2016, and its founding shareholders are Guangzhou Ruixing Yifu Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. and Wanguocheng International Trade Co., Ltd., and the funds subscribed by the two companies are 6 million yuan and 4 million yuan respectively.
When it was first established, it could be said that it had no relationship with Lin Dan.
On November 29, 2017, Lin Dan received a capital of 2 million yuan from Guangzhou Ruixing Yifu Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. with a transfer fee of 20,000 yuan. In short, Lin Dan used 20,000 yuan to obtain 20% of the shares of The International City Company.
At the end of 2020, after Westmind's unsuccessful recovery from the International City, Lin Dan and another shareholder, Wang Lijuan, were added as "executors".
On March 26 this year, Lin Dan withdrew from the ranks of shareholders through equity change.
Putting on a suit and a tie, Lin Dan became a businessman
The City of Nations is involved in a lot of cases, and Lin Dan is also a "victim" with a high probability.
The intersection of Lin Dan and the City of Nations is obviously not just about booking tickets.
In November 2017, Xie Xingfang announced that she had founded a fashion mother and baby brand, Dufen, and its actual brand owner was Wanguo City.
From this time node, it is not difficult to imagine that the reason why Lin Dan became a shareholder of Wanguo City should be directly related to Xie Xingfang's appointment as Dufen's "chief creative officer", "brand founder and COO".
If this thinking is further forward, it is the same as the operation method of Lin Dan launching underwear named after himself - funded by cooperative companies, athletes obtain shares with personal intangible assets, jointly promote cooperative brands, and once successful, share benefits.
The difference is that Lin Dan's original "partner" was Shanghai Chuangling Sports, and now it is The City of Nations.
Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang as "Dufen Platform"
In fact, if based on the above logic, it is not difficult to understand why Lin Dan, as a shareholder of Wanguocheng, did not come forward to help the company solve the debt crisis.
Of course, if you check the current situation of the City of Nations, you will find that this company can be described as a basket of problems, the debts owed are not only Westminster, the problem is by no means lin dan to come forward to solve, not to mention, objectively speaking, many problems are really not his personal responsibility.
At present, Wanguocheng has not only become the dishonest executor of 4 lawsuits, but also its legal representative and general manager Liao Jiayou has also been restricted from high consumption, and there have been as many as 15 judgment documents related to the company.
In these judgment documents, in addition to the arrears of ticket payments to Westminster, there are also contract breaches to employees, arrears of service payments to headhunting companies, and arrears of design fees to partner companies.
In short, the company, which holds high the banner of "platform" and claims to have "the trading experience and strong resource background of the successful star business economy in the Hong Kong market", has now been reduced to a complete "leather bag company" plus a "scam company".
It is conceivable that in addition to Xu Lindan's shares, the City of Nations must have also painted various blueprints for him.
However, the reality in front of Lin Dan now is that not only did he work for the City of Nations "for free", but also the cost of air tickets and other expenses that should have been paid by the City of Nations, the City of Nations also wanted to get rid of it.
It is conceivable that a company that operates in this way will have what results await it. As for Lin Dan himself, he is also likely to be a "victim".
Lin Dan responded on Weibo, saying he was "unaware"
After "Lin Dan's air ticket dispute became an executor" became a hot topic, Lin Dan gave this response through his personal Weibo at more than 4 p.m.: "I have differences in cooperation with The International City Company, and I have quit the company in March Before I represented the company to attend the event, I did not know that the International City Company owed the bill to the ticketing company, and now I am letting the lawyer properly handle it Thank you."
The response maintained the style of no punctuation on its Weibo, but the lawsuit has been closed for more than two years, and he himself has been added as an "executor" at the end of last year, saying that he is completely unaware of it, which is estimated to be unconvincing.
Of course, the reason why Lin Dan responded in this way is that there is also a certain reason for thinking about it.
Because of their "grudge" with The International City In addition to this ticket dispute case, there is also dufen's where to go, after all, when Guangzhou Wang Laoji Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. chose to invest in Guangzhou Dufen Health Industry Co., Ltd., to a large extent, it has a direct relationship with the influence of Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang, and the actual holder of this brand is the International City, which is really "cutting continuously, rationalizing and chaos".
It is worth mentioning that after Lin Dan retired last year, some media counted the companies related to the badminton star at that time, and found that there were as many as 11 companies directly and indirectly connected with him!
The media even concluded that Lin Dan may have become "another business wizard" among China's star athletes after Li Ning.
Now it seems that Lin Dan, who is invincible on the badminton court, obviously needs more tempering to achieve something in the commercial sea.
Taking this air ticket payment dispute as an example, although Lin Dan has withdrawn from the ranks of wanguocheng shareholders, according to relevant laws and regulations, unless he has paid 2 million yuan honestly in wanguo, even if he leaves, he still needs to bear relevant legal responsibilities...
