Core Viewpoint - The equity stake of Hetai Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hetai Life") held by Jin Xing Mining Co., Ltd. is set to be auctioned, highlighting ongoing challenges faced by the company, including investment losses and a lack of core management [1][2]. Group 1: Equity Auction Details - Jin Xing Mining will auction 150 million shares (10% equity) of Hetai Life on October 23, with an assessed value of 97 million yuan and a starting price of 92 million yuan [2]. - This marks the second auction of Jin Xing Mining's equity in Hetai Life, following a previous attempt in December 2022 to auction 210 million shares (14% equity), which was withdrawn shortly after due to the retraction of execution applications by creditors [2]. - Currently, 40% of Hetai Life's equity is under pledge or frozen, involving four shareholders and a total of 600 million shares [2].

In 2024, the company reported a net profit of 12.44 million yuan, but continued to incur losses in the first half of the year [4][5]. - In the first half of the year, Hetai Life's insurance business revenue was 1.333 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 39.90%, but the net profit turned negative at -176 million yuan compared to a profit of 13.4 million yuan in the same period last year [5]. - The company has reported significant investment losses, including a 16.14 million yuan impairment for "20 Shen Ye 03" and a total of 75.92 million yuan for "H20 Shan Shan 1" due to defaults [5].
