Leju Finance, a Chinese real estate financial information platform, published an article on February 15 that Meng Jing had already reached the age of planning to retire. China Fortune Land Development employees revealed that Meng Jing had disappeared from the company for several days. About two weeks before the Chinese New Year, China Fortune Land Development suddenly released a red-headed document on the adjustment of the organizational structure, Zhao Wei, the chairman of the original production group, took over Meng Jing’s position.
On February 16, a reporter from The Epoch Times called China Fortune Land Development, but no one answered.

Seazen HoldingsQu Dejun lost contact with Wang Jianlin for 17 years
With the announcement of Seazen Holdings, Qu Dejun’s name became the focus of public opinion.
On the evening of February 10, Seazen Holdings announced that the company was temporarily unable to get in touch with Qu Dejun, the company’s director and co-president. So far, the company has not been able to understand the specific reasons. This matter will not have an impact on the company’s business activities, and the company’s current work is proceeding normally.
According to public reports, Qu Dejun’s last public appearance was on January 16, 2023, when he attended and took a group photo on behalf of the company at the project signing ceremony for the cooperation between Seazen Holdings and Xiamen Rail Construction Development Group Co., Ltd.
Qu Dejun joined Seazen Holdings in July 2019. He is well-known in the field of commercial real estate for having worked in Wanda Group for nearly 17 years. During the 17 years from 2002 to 2019, Qu Dejun worked in Dalian Wanda Group. He was in charge of Wanda’s business management sector all the year round. He later served as the president of Wanda Financial Group, the president of Wanda Network Technology Group, etc., and was later transferred to the chairman of Wanda Baby King Group. Baby King is a children’s industry company under Wanda Culture Group. However, within half a year, Qu Dejun chose to leave.
An executive from Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management Group Co. told Chinese media Caijing that Qu Dejun was the right-hand man of Wanda founder and chairman Wang Jianlin. In 2018, after Wanda’s e-commerce business, Feifan.com, failed, Qu Dejun took the blame and left. In July 2019, Qu Dejun joined Seazen Holdings as Vice Chairman.
Regarding the disappearance of Qu Dejun, a reporter from The Epoch Times contacted Seazen Holdings on February 16, but the other party said they did not know about it.
An insider close to Seazen Holdings revealed to Caijing that the company has a mature operating system. Although Qu Dejun has temporarily lost contact, the current company structure has not changed, and no arrangements have been made to replace Qu Dejun.
In addition, an insider close to Wanda recently told Observer.com that he did not know the specific circumstances of Qu Dejun’s disappearance. The news received so far shows that neither Wanda nor Xincheng have received any inquiries from relevant departments. So it is most likely due to personal reasons.
However, Caixin.com reported on February 10 that an insider close to Wanda Group said that Qu Dejun lost contact because he was cooperating with the investigation, and it involved the period when he worked for Wanda Group and was in charge of Wanda’s financial technology business.
A commentary published on February 14 by China’s retail portal LianShang.com said it was strange that an executive of a listed company suddenly lost contact for no apparent reason. Under normal circumstances, the family members of the missing person should speak out first, and after a certain time limit, they will call the police, and the police will then give an explanation. However, so far, neither Qu Dejun’s family members nor the police have made a statement, and Seazen Holdings has notified the public that its employees have lost contact in the form of an announcement. Such cases are very rare.
The article believes that Seazen Holdings’ move is obviously to cut off from the “Qu Dejun’s loss of contact incident”, and its notification specifically emphasizes that “it will not affect the company’s business activities”. .
