He welcomed and thanked the strong support from Guangdong Zheng China Sui Tax Agent Office and the enthusiastic participation of the female entrepreneur representatives.

This event included both thematic presentations and salon discussions, aiming to provide comprehensive legal and tax knowledge to female entrepreneurs. From a legal, financial, and tax perspective, it aimed to empower high-net-worth female entrepreneurs with professional knowledge, thereby enhancing their awareness and capabilities in risk prevention related to the integration of law, tax, and finance.

Ms. He Ying, member of the Council of the Chinese Certified Tax Agents Association, executive director of the Guangdong Certified Tax Agents Association, vice president of the Guangzhou Certified Tax Agents Association, and director of Guangdong Zheng China Sui Tax Agent Office, pointed out in her speech that female entrepreneurs are first and foremost women, and they always face the challenge of balancing work and family. To some extent, women’s entrepreneurship has a special “vulnerability” aspect. Ms. He Ying believed that this event was in line with the theme of International Women’s Day, and it would help female entrepreneurs improve their risk awareness and management skills in a complex business environment. From her perspective as a senior tax expert, she explained the recent “DS Family Trust” incident, emphasizing that wealth management is an essential skill for female entrepreneurs. She also shared her latest insights on wealth management and inheritance.

Lawyer Li first introduced the “DS Family Trust” case, analyzing legal issues such as inheritance, child custody, and inheritance taxes from a professional perspective. Then, he discussed the legal risks in marriage and business for female entrepreneurs, focusing on key points in the revised Company Law regarding capital systems and accountability mechanisms, the criminal law amendment (12) regarding crimes committed by private enterprises, and the judicial interpretation (2) of the Civil Code regarding marriage and family. He also analyzed the potential business and family risks for female entrepreneurs. In response to these legal risks, Lawyer Li used relevant laws and cases from both domestic and international contexts to explain how professional integrated services and compliance management are essential for maintaining a “firewall” between marriage, family, and business.

Lawyer Hao Hao, senior partner at Longan Guangzhou and deputy director of the Longan Bay Area Legal, Finance, and Taxation Integrated Research Center, presented a talk titled “Governance and Prevention of Profit-Oriented Enforcement”. Lawyer Hao pointed out that profit-oriented enforcement is not new. The recent public discussion is due to deeper environmental changes. Such practices severely harm the business environment and undermine judicial credibility and authority. By analyzing cases and his team’s cases, Lawyer Hao highlighted the key aspects of profit-oriented enforcement in terms of substance, procedure, and motivation. He proposed a core strategy of “compliance as the foundation, evidence for protection, and professionalism for solutions”. Lawyer Hao emphasized that compliance is fundamental and long-term for businesses. If it is treated as just a trend, it will harm both businesses and entrepreneurs.
