at the same time, several former employees of royole technology confirmed to reporters that the man in gray in the live broadcast was indeed liu zihong.

at present, this flexible display unicorn company, which once claimed to build a "flexible planet", is being filed for bankruptcy by its employees. according to tianyancha, on may 28, shenzhen royole technology co., ltd. and its subsidiary shenzhen soft display system technology co., ltd. added one new person subject to execution information, with an execution target of more than 68.68 million yuan, and the executing court is the shenzhen longgang district people's court. tianyancha shows that the company has dozens of historical persons subject to execution information, and the total amount of execution exceeds 3.2 billion yuan.

earlier, royole also had a new bankruptcy review case. in april this year, the shenzhen intermediate people's court held a hearing on the bankruptcy review case of royole technology. at that time, royole technology's debt exceeded 4.7 billion yuan, and the arrears of wages and salaries exceeded 60 million yuan. together with the previously promised options, the total arrears of wages was 160 million yuan.

currently, liu zihong is still the largest shareholder of royole technology, holding 38.61% of the shares. the second largest shareholder is citic capital (shenzhen) asset management co., ltd., holding 6.05%.

from the ongoing "equity freeze", "forced execution" and "wage arrears" storms in recent years to today's "bankruptcy review", royole technology, once a darling of capital, has been plagued by various negative labels.
