Yicai.com exclusively learned that Yuan Bingsong, the founder of Shenzhen Laidian Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Laidian Technology), the "big brother" of the shared power bank industry, has lost contact recently. Han Bing, the first person to take over Shenzhen Laidian, has also lost contact with him. According to the reporter, the two were held accountable by the legal team hired by the local state-owned assets for their involvement in the loss of state-owned assets.

The reporter learned from multiple authoritative cross-sources that Yuan and Han may have been involved in the loss of state-owned assets during their cooperation with the second-hand buyer of Shenzhen Laidian, Zhejiang Pujiang County State-owned Assets. However, the reporter was unable to verify from the official whether the two were under control of relevant departments.

Further information showed that a total of six people involved in the call from Shenzhen, including Yuan Bingsong and Han Bing, had lost contact one after another.

Lai Dian Technology, one of the "Three Powers and One Beast", is the first company to "take the lead" in the shared power bank industry. Its founder Yuan Bingsong is the soul of Lai Dian Technology and is known as "Laidian Brother". The reporter asked Yuan Bingsong's sister Yuan Bingmei about the situation. Yuan Bingmei said that she had left Lai Dian Technology a long time ago and she was not very clear about Yuan Bingsong's recent whereabouts. Yuan Bingmei was in charge of channels at Lai Dian Technology and was called "Laidian Sister" within the company.

At the end of 2022, Pujiang Laidian Zhengqi Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Pujiang Laidian), which is mainly state-owned in Pujiang County, Zhejiang Province, controlled 100% of the equity of Laidian Technology. Pujiang Laidian obtained the controlling stake of Laidian Technology from Han Bing, the first buyer.

At that time, some media reports quoted people close to the relevant local departments of Pujiang County as saying that in order to attract investment in Lai Dian Technology, Pujiang County had put out 600 million yuan, and the subsequent goal was to go public.

However, Tianyancha information shows that Pujiang Yunxiang Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), which has a background in Pujiang state-owned assets, holds about 66.67% of the shares of Pujiang Laidian. The investors behind the other 33.33% of shareholders also have a background in Zhejiang state-owned assets. The GP is Zhejiang Industrial Investment Group Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Zhejiang Fuzhe Capital Management Co., Ltd.), which is under the Zhejiang State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Yuan Bingsong founded Lai Dian Technology in 2014. In December 2018, Yuan Bingsong transferred his 51% stake in the company to his friend Xiao Fengchi. Xiao Fengchi held the shares for only half a year and then transferred the 51% stake to Han Bing, a natural person. According to reporters, Han Bing was introduced to plan the listing of Lai Dian Technology. "Because Han Bing worked in a state-owned investment department and is familiar with capital operations," a former senior executive of Lai Dian Technology once revealed to reporters. Public information shows that Han Bing was once a director of Yunnan Water Conservancy and Hydropower Investment Co., Ltd.

In 2020, Han Bing sought to sell Future Electric Technology to listed company Zhongwei Electronics (300270.SZ) through a backdoor listing, but the transaction was terminated because Han Bing failed to pay the balance.

In 2022, due to a large number of lawsuits from suppliers and agents, Pujiang Lai Dian’s account was also frozen. The recipient of the Lai Dian power bank payment was quietly changed from Pujiang Lai Dian to Shenzhen Lai Dian Ge Information Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Shenzhen Lai Dian Ge). Shenzhen Lai Dian Ge is not an entity controlled by Pujiang Lai Dian, but an entity controlled by Yuan Bingsong.

In July 2022, China Business News exclusively reported on the difficulties faced by Lai Dian Technology at the time (see "Has become the subject of execution twice this year, the former leader in shared power banks is besieged on all sides"), pointing out the change in the company's payment entity and whether it was suspected of transferring benefits to Yuan Bingsong and others, thereby leading to the loss of state-owned assets.

At that time, the GP representative sent by the state-owned capital, Gong Feiyang, told reporters: "We are just a small shareholder." As for why Fuzhe Investment represented only a small shareholder, Gong Feiyang said, "This matter is handled by the legal team."

Lai Dian Technology is the first project that Pujiang County has attracted investment through the "fund + equity + project" model, and is a groundbreaking and innovative experiment in attracting investment. Industry insiders analyzed in an interview with reporters that the success or failure of this project, the founder team building, the GP+LP investment model, and the entire process of post-investment management are of reference significance for similar state-owned capital investments.
