Shareholders’ stocks have caused stock prices to plummet
In addition to short selling, the issuance of individual shareholders’ stocks by brokers is also one of the reasons for the plunge in the formation of penny stocks. The major shareholders of mainland listed companies have mortgaged their equity for financing, causing stock prices to fall. Earlier this year, the share price of China Real Estate Jiayuan International (2768) also plunged 90%. It was originally the founder and chairman of the board of directors Shen Tianqing and his wife had nearly 100 million shares sold, with a total value of 258 million yuan. Jiayuan International also explained at the time that some of the major shareholders, Shen Tianqing, had mortgage financing, and were forced to close their positions because they failed to make up their positions in time.
