In this respect, Xiahi said, big shareholder Cheng Star Group does not participate in this non-public offering, but can increase the company's shares by other means. However, the industry analysis that the shares of Cheng-Star stock price corresponding to the higher valuation level, investors involved in the issuance of another year's restricted period, more uncertainties in the next year.  If the major shareholder Cheng Group does not participate in the Non-public offering, will other investors have the confidence to participate in the additional issue?
