After the news of "1.252 billion yuan in deposits lost" fermented for many days, at around 17:00 on August 20, Chang'an Bank issued a solemn statement.

On August 20, Chang'an Bank issued a statement on its official website, saying, "After verification, the relevant media reports that "1.252 billion yuan in deposits were lost" were seriously untrue. The documents, seals, and amounts of the "Account Balance Statement" used in the report were all forged and altered. Our bank has reported the case to the public security organs, and the police have accepted the case for investigation. At the same time, our bank has sent a lawyer's letter to the relevant media and has notarized the evidence preservation of the relevant forwarding and reprinting. Our bank reserves the right to pursue legal responsibility for false statements."

Previously, it was reported that Youce Investment signed an "Agreement Deposit Contract" with Chang'an Bank to deposit the funds raised from the three products "Youce Changshi", "Youce Changxiu" and "Youce Yueyueying No. 3" into the private equity fund accounts of multiple branches of Chang'an Bank. According to the 2023 annual report disclosed by the relevant products, the total amount of the agreement deposits of the above three banks reached 1.252 billion yuan. On July 3 this year, investors found that the "Account Balance Statement" was not published as scheduled, and the account flow certificate printed by Chang'an Bank showed that there was only 86,000 yuan left in the agreement deposit.

After the above report was released, news about Chang'an Bank's "1.252 billion yuan in deposits lost" began to ferment on the Internet. Youce Investment mentioned in the report is Zhejiang Youce Investment Management Co., Ltd., a private equity institution whose controlling shareholder is Hangzhou Lianxin Investment Management Partnership (Limited Partnership) (hereinafter referred to as Lianxin Investment), which holds a 99% stake.

In the above statement, Chang'an Bank also disclosed the "Letter of Apology" and "Statement on Online Public Opinion" signed by Lianxin Investment, which were signed on August 2 and August 16 respectively. Chang'an Bank said that the controlling shareholder of Youce Investment had delivered the "Letter of Apology" to Chang'an Bank and issued the "Statement on Online Public Opinion". Regarding the possible violations of regulations and laws in the internal management of Youce Investment, the company's controlling shareholder and actual controller have reported the case to the Chaoyang Branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the police have accepted the case for investigation.

The "Apology Letter" disclosed the information of the actual controller of Youce Investment. According to the "Apology Letter", Youce Investment is a subsidiary of Lianxin Investment, and its actual controller is Xiushi Enterprise Management Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Xiushi Group). Tianyancha shows that Youce Investment and Xiushi Group have no equity relationship. After the industrial and commercial relationship is penetrated, the actual controller of Youce Investment is the natural person Li Xiaoqing, who holds 90% of Lianxin Investment. The legal representative of Xiushi Group is Huang Wei. According to previous media reports, investors purchased Youce Investment's private equity products through Xiushi as an intermediary.

The "Statement on Online Public Opinion Related Matters" shows that on July 10, due to disagreements among Youce Investment Management personnel on the product exit plan, the fund manager disregarded the facts and arbitrarily issued a major event announcement to investors, attributing the reason for Youce's suspension of subscription and redemption business for 11 funds including "Youce Yueyueying No. 3 Private Securities Investment Fund" to Chang'an Bank's failure to provide the "Account Balance Statement" on time, and provided some false voucher materials, causing panic among investors.
