Yin Zhijie: 'Being under investigation' and other rumors are untrue; the company has reported the case to pursue legal responsibility for rumor-mongers.
Yinzhijie hastily issued a statement clarifying that it is not under investigation, emphasizing that it has already reported the matter to the authorities. This whole affair is itself a typical A-share farce. Rumors spread faster than the truth, and listed companies’ "solemn statements" often feel like they are wrestling with an invisible ghostly opponent—solemn in posture yet inevitably tinged with helplessness and exhaustion.

Yinzhijie hastily issued a statement clarifying that it is not under investigation, emphasizing that it has already reported the matter to the authorities. This whole affair is itself a typical A-share farcase. Rumors spread faster than the truth, and listed companies’ "solemn statements" often feel like they are wrestling with an invisible ghostly opponent—solemn in posture yet inevitably tinged with helplessness and exhaustion.
The most interesting aspect is the dual "defensive" and "offensive" nature of the statement. On one hand, it seeks to reassure investors by demonstrating clean fundamentals and normal operations; on the other, it adopts a tough stance with "legal measures in place," promising to "pursue legal action against the source of rumors." We’ve seen this play too many times. But honestly, when a company needs to frequently issue such "no major events" clarifications, each volatility of its stock price and market cap amid rumors becomes an unjust "cyberbullying" for real shareholders. The fragility of market sentiment and the distortion of information dissemination often inflict more concrete and direct harm on the company than the fabricated "investigation" itself.
This reveals a deeper absurdity: in the current market information ecosystem, "debunking rumors" sometimes becomes "secondary confirmation." Even if you stamp your official seal loudly enough, someone will always murmur, "Is this a case of protesting too much?" This惯性 of distrust partly stems from past instances where "rumors turned out to be true," but it also highlights how easily a company’s reputation can be eroded by mere rumors with just one statement.
The company’s decision to "report to public security authorities" and publicly display the receipt is an interesting strategic move. It no longer just aims to address investors directly but attempts to introduce stronger third-party authority for endorsement, elevating the issue from "market speculation" to a "legal case." This is both a tough stance and a reluctant acknowledgment that in the battlefield of gossip and algorithms, its unilateral voice is no longer sufficient.
That said, amidst the criticism, Yinzhijie’s swift response deserves a sliver of recognition. In an era of viral information, delay is the biggest disaster. They at least seized the first opportunity to step forward, using the most official and legally binding language to build a firewall, even if behind it lies a storm. But then again, if the market had more solid performance and sustainable returns, perhaps such "self-vindication" dramas could be reduced. After all, the best statement is never a document, but the actual profits in a company’s accounts and the sustained growth in sales on its product shelves.
As the old saying goes, "Spreading rumors takes a mouth; debunking them breaks your legs." This remains an iron rule in the stock market. Yinzhijie’s storm may pass quickly, but it reminds all listed companies: in an age where everyone is a self-media outlet, reputation management has become a never-ending, smokeless defensive war. And investors, too, must sharpen their ability to discern "facts" from "emotions" amidst this noise.
