Recently, a former employee of OCT Group reported to reporters that under the company's implemented "mandatory" follow-up investment system, a large amount of employee funds has been involved in real estate projects, and now it is difficult to recover these funds due to project suspensions and unreturned capital. This is especially true for some laid-off employees whose substantial follow-up investment principal is trapped. "Even if I have terminated my employment relationship with the company, I still have to wait for a long return process according to the original rules." In his view, this situation of "people leaving but money staying" adds to the anxiety of those already in a difficult situation due to unemployment. In response to the issues raised by former employees regarding the inability to recover the follow-up investment principal, OCT stated in an interview with reporters that follow-up investment is essentially an investment behavior, which can result in both profits and losses. Regardless of whether the follow-up investors are employed or not, profits from the project will be distributed according to the relevant follow-up investment agreements and systems when the project is profitable, and risks must also be shared when the project incurs losses. Additionally, regarding employee concerns, the company has always placed great importance on maintaining close, sufficient, and friendly communication with relevant employees and will continue to actively and steadily promote related work in the future ### Related Stocks - [000069.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/000069.CN.md) ## Related News & Research - [Money Managers Turn Bullish On China Despite Mounting Economic Woes](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296554795.md) - [SP Group corrects disclosure, names Schur Finance as buyer of 31,500 shares at DKK 485](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296803384.md) - [YMTC's STAR Mkt IPO Application Accepted, w/ Plans to Raise RMB33B](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296724109.md) - [Dino Polska S.A.
