We note that 1.5bn shares (10%) of China Jicheng were deposited into
CCASS on 17-Sep-2015, via Black Marble Securities. These can only be from
Chairman Huang Wenji. Shares must be in CCASS to be tradable, so this may be a
preparation for a top-up placing. Click the link to see CCASS movements. The
stock is in a bubble, at 106x NAV last night, up 64x since the IPO. Black Marble

attention.
