    Abstract: On July 22, 2017, the First Chinese Economists 50 Forum Seminar of Entrepreneur Directors’ Views on “the Belt and Road” was held at Hohehot. Liu Guangchao, Director of Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, Secretary General of Green Legal Global Alliance and Director of Chinese Economists 50 Forum, attended the seminar and delivered a keynote speech.


    Li yang, Member of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Chairman of National Institution for Finance & Development, Xia Bin, counsellor of the State Council and Honorary Director of Research Institute of Finance, Development Research Center of the State Council, Cao Yuanzheng, Board Chairman of BOCI Research Ltd., Long Guoqiang, Vice Director and Party Leadership Group Member of Development Research Center of the State Council, Cao Deyun, Secretary General of Insurance Asset Management Association of China, Pan Gang, Board Chairman of Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group Co., Ltd., Duan Yongji, Pan Zhongguang, Qian Longhai, Zhou Jiangong, Zhou Yuanzhi, Wang Xiaolan, Zhu Dezhen, Guo Cuiping, members of Chinese Economists 50 Forum Entrepreneur Board of Directors and other economic experts and representatives of entrepreneur directors attended the meeting and participated in discussion,

    In the meeting, Director Liu Guangchao said that, “from the perspective of country, “the Belt and Road” is a proposal and a strategy and also soft restructuring of international rules, order and governance; from the perspective of enterprise, it needs to pay attention to a set of rules and two issues and establish three mechanisms. Rules concern trade, investment, finance and other aspects; issues are the boundary and integration of national and enterprises’ strategies as well as the symmetry of surface information and depth information; mechanisms include dialog mechanism, governance mechanism and dispute settlement mechanism.”

    In his speech, Director Liu Guangchao primarily elaborated the legal risks to be concerned when an enterprise goes out. He said that, “The Belt and Road” brings great opportunities for China’s enterprises, but also faces multiple potential problems. In general, an enterprise should pay attention to seven major legal risks: 1. Investment restriction, Encourage or restrict? What conditions? 2. exchange control, should pay attention to any limitation on the term, line and direction. 3. Environmental standard. Are there any country criteria? Are there any relevant protocols? 4. Labor and employment. An enterprise should know any limitation on the employment object, scale and policies. 5. Intellectual property right. 6. Taxation system. 7. Should pay attention to the dispute settlement modes.”

    Furthermore, during exchange of views, Director Liu Guangchao also analyzed several misconceptions in the cooperation between entrepreneurs and lawyers: 1. Lawyers should act in an early stage, but many entrepreneurs began to take into account them in the later stage; 2. The cooperative mode of enterprises and lawyer individuals has become outdated; an enterprise must cooperate with a lawyer system, thus it can get comprehensive and systematic legal service; 3. The cooperation between enterprises and lawyers is an interactive process and of partnership, rather than simple relation between Party A and Party B; 4. During the cooperation process of “The Belt and Road”, lawyers are not only professional service personnel, but also the personnel integrating resources; 5. What entrepreneurs truly need are schemes rather than files; 6. It should not impose the commercial decision-making and internal management upon lawyers, but their strength can be explored.

    • How to deal with the failures to fulfill duty of diligence?2021-10-25
      Both party A and party B are shareholders of company a, with a accounting for 30% of the shares and B for a state-owned enterprise holding company, accounting for 50% of the shares. Mr. Li is a director appointed by company B to company a, and also the head of financial department of company A. At the beginning of 2021, party A learned that there was still 1 million yuan of capital contribution of company B due but not paid in, and Mr. Li never called on company B according to his duty when he clearly learned that company B did not fulfill his obligation of capital contribution. In addition, Li used his authority to change the management authority of company A's office system, adjust the relevant processes and procedures of the company's internal management, and put pressure on the employees without reason, resulting in the failure of company A's normal operation for three consecutive months. In view of Li's behavior, how should company a and shareholders a protect the rights and interests of the company and themselves?
    • Voting rights can be restricted if shareholders fail to invest?2021-08-24
      In recent years, the competition for corporate control has become more and more intense. The form of competition is no longer confined to the background, but gradually moved to the stage. In order to fight for corporate control, the disputes about the representation of corporate will caused by the internal power struggle in commercial cases are increasing. Voting right has also become the focus of contention among shareholders. If they fail to fulfill the obligation of capital contribution on schedule, there are serious differences among shareholders about whether their voting right can be limited. In the absence of special provisions in the articles of association, should shareholders vote according to the proportion of paid in capital contribution or the proportion of subscribed capital contribution?

Party A, Party B and Party C held shareholders' meetings on the transformation and development direction of company a for many times, but Party A and Party B could not reach an agreement. Up to now, the development of the company has been stagnant, How can companies get out of trouble?
