Zhao Wei's frozen shares belong to Wuhu Dongrunfa Investment Co., Ltd., with a value of 9 million CNY (more than 34 billion VND). The freeze period is from March 9, 2026 to March 8, 2029.
According to Sohu, Zhao Wei's stock freeze this time is not an isolated new case, but a prolonged guarantee dispute from many years ago; and also reflects the financial and legal difficulties that the female artist who used to work hard in both film and investment is facing.
Wuhu Dongrunfa Company was established in June 2010, legal representative is Zhao Jian - Zhao Wei's brother, with registered capital of 10 million CNY. Business scope includes business investment, business management and consulting, and commercial consulting.
This company is held by Zhao Wei with 90% of shares and Zhao Jian holds 10% of shares. Meaning, Zhao Wei is an absolute controlling shareholder of the company. This share freeze directly affects her right to handle assets with the business.
Back in 2017, Zhao Wei once stood as a joint guarantor for the "Zhixin No. 340 Shanghai Laibo Collective Fund Trust Plan" trust project of Minsheng Trust, related to the capital mobilization activities of Guangzhou Fenghuolun Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., with an amount of up to 1.8 billion CNY.
Later, due to the principal borrower violating its debt repayment obligations, Minsheng Trust sued Trieu Vy in 2021, requesting her to fulfill her guarantorship obligations.
The Dongcheng District Court, Beijing, then repeatedly blockaded shares under the actress's name. This blockade was actually an extension after the previous blockade expired, the term was still 3 years.
The freezing of shares in Wuhu Dongrunfa is only part of it. At the same time, the court also freezed an additional 1.9 million CNY of Zhao Wei's shares in Tibet Longwei Culture Media Co., Ltd. (she holds 95% of shares); 5 million CNY of shares in Hebao Entertainment Group Co., Ltd.
A total of 3 frozen shares amounted to 15.9 million CNY, all with a term of 3 years.
In which, Tibet Longwei Culture Media was the center of the "Wanjia Culture acquisition" in 2016. At that time, Zhao Wei and her ex-husband Huang Youlong, through this company - which is considered a "shell company" - used 51 times more financial leverage to try to acquire Wanjia Culture.
Due to violating information disclosure regulations and causing market misunderstanding, the company's stock plummeted, causing many investors to lose money. After that, the China Securities Commission fined and banned Zhao Wei and her husband from participating in the stock market for 5 years. The aftertaste of the incident has not ended to this day.
In recent years, Zhao Wei's financial situation has become increasingly difficult, and legal disputes have continuously appeared. In addition to the dispute with Minsheng Trust, she also faces more than 400 lawsuits related to liability for providing false information in securities, with a total compensation amount of tens of millions of CNY.
In the period 2024-2026, courts in Hangzhou and Zhejiang have repeatedly ruled that Zhao Wei must be jointly liable for compensation, with amounts ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of CNY per case.
A noteworthy detail is that in November 2024, Trieu Vy and related companies were also subject to enforcement for a debt of only 8,488 CNY - a very small number compared to her previous investment deals of hundreds of millions of CNY.
According to legal regulations, frozen shares are not allowed to be transferred, mortgaged or receive dividends. This means that in the next 3 years, Zhao Wei cannot sell or use this 15.9 million CNY share to rotate money, making financial pressure even greater.
In parallel with that, Zhao Wei's business empire is clearly shrinking. Previously, she had invested in more than 10 companies in the fields of film, entertainment and finance, with a maximum of 16 related businesses.
Currently, Zhao Wei's 4 companies have had their business licenses revoked, and many other companies operate very limitedly.
Trieu Vy and her ex-husband Huynh Huu Long announced their divorce in 2024, but this did not help her escape legal obligations.
According to industry information, the main borrower in the bail case is related to Huynh Huu Long's sister, so even though the marriage has ended, Trieu Vy's bail responsibility is still valid.
