$EASYHOME(000785.SZ)JRJJ suddenly dropped a bomb, with its chairman detained.

​Just after the Wuhan Private Economy Conference chanted slogans on April 17, JRJJ chairman Wang Linpeng was taken away by the supervisory committee on the 18th. While leaders on stage promised to "serve private enterprises like shop assistants," the entrepreneurs' seats were still warm when Jianghan District slapped them with a "Detention Notice." The plot twist was more dramatic than a TV show.

​Investors now have two burning questions: Is the company's money still there? How many limit-downs will there be at tomorrow's opening? Last year, when a certain real estate tycoon's chairman suddenly "disappeared" before their bomb, the stock price got ankle-chopped. Now regulators act fast, but shattered entrepreneur confidence can't be shouted back in a meeting.

​Private enterprises are like tightrope walkers now—catching U.S. sanction knives with their left hand, holding slipping financial reports with their right, all while balancing over a bonfire lit by investors. Suddenly yanking the leader off the rope—will the remaining team stabilize or crash down together? The answer's probably less reliable than Shuanghuanglian curing COVID.

​Arresting people is easy; arresting confidence is hard. Wuhan's Optics Valley still has 26 industrial parks waiting for investors this year, but now the first reaction will be clutching company seals and checking ledgers. If there's wrongdoing, investigate—but private economy is a pot of boiling soup that can't take wild temperature swings. Blast the heat today, cut it tomorrow, and who pays when it burns?
