Earlier this year, a century-old enterprise with a 136-year history launched a mixed-ownership reform. As a local state-controlled enterprise, its mixed-ownership reform plan was once put on hold due to disagreements with regulatory authorities over the "proportion of state-owned share withdrawal". Meanwhile, more than 300 veteran employees with over 20 years of service collectively signed a petition against identity conversion, fearing the loss of their "iron rice bowls"; some intangible cultural heritage (ICH) inheritors even protested by threatening to "resign and take their craftsmanship with them", forcing the reform to be suspended.

In early 2024, our firm accepted an urgent entrustment from an intelligent hardware enterprise (hereinafter referred to as "Company H"). Founded in 2016, the company operates two major business segments: IoT modules and consumer electronics.

In the autumn of 2023, a rapidly growing e-commerce platform was in full swing preparing for its IPO. However, a lawsuit brought all efforts to an abrupt halt – a competitor sued it for "false advertising" and "fake transactions and inflated credit", claiming 10 million yuan in compensation. The ensuing negative news spread like wildfire: the platform lost 15% of its merchants, transaction volume plummeted 23% month-on-month, and the IPO plan was forced to be shelved.

In early 2024, a technology enterprise deeply engaged in the field of intelligent manufacturing stood at a crossroads in its development. Armed with core technologies and facing a surge in orders, capacity expansion was imminent. However, its internal funds were exhausted, the bank loan process was lengthy, and financing could not be finalized. Missing this window of opportunity would not only result in the loss of orders but also allow latecomers to erode the technological advantages accumulated over time.

In December 2023, a once-thriving food processing enterprise reached its end. Its business license was revoked for using expired raw materials, leaving behind 62 debts totaling 8.9 million yuan.

On October 12, 2023, the person in charge of a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) in Changsha called our law firm. Anxiety was evident in their tone: "We just received a notice that we will soon undergo a special regulatory review.

In early 2023, a technology enterprise focusing on the R&D of high-efficiency photovoltaic modules (hereinafter referred to as "Company S") sought assistance from our firm. Founded in 2015, this enterprise holds two international patents — the conversion efficiency of its heterojunction photovoltaic modules reaches 26.8%, leading the world. However, its technological advantages have not been translated into market advantages: Company S has long relied on the domestic market, encountered channel bottlenecks when expanding into the European market, lacked understanding of local policies, regulations and business practices, and failed to break through for a long time.

On June 28, 2023, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) in a period of rapid growth took the initiative to contact our firm, entrusting us to conduct a comprehensive diagnosis and address the deep-seated governance challenges that were restricting the enterprise's further development.

In 2023, a leading cross-border payment platform focusing on the Southeast Asian market experienced an unprecedented existential crisis.

In early 2023, a construction engineering company undertaking multiple key projects fell into a development quagmire. On the surface, the project delivery quality was repeatedly criticized, but the root cause lay in the continuous loss of core talents — **the annual turnover rate of project managers reached as high as 20%**.
