According to information, Shen Jianhong has served as vice president of Quanjian Group since 2011.
It is worth noting that ST Shengda, which was originally scheduled to hold a shareholders' meeting to deliberate on the board of directors' election at the end of last year, previously announced the postponement of the meeting. Until January 20, ST Shengda announced the resolution of the first extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in 2019: the proposal of to nominate Quanjian Group executive Shen Jianhong as a candidate for director was rejected , with only 2.99% of the votes agreed, and all other candidates were elected.
