Throughout DeepSeek's financing journey, certain intermediary channels have set stringent and costly fee structures. Specifically, these intermediaries demand an 18% upfront fee and an additional 35% on the backend. Even after fulfilling these financial obligations, investors are not assured of obtaining shares. The financing terms also stipulate a five-year lock-up period, during which the majority of external investors are deprived of voting rights or board representation. Instead, they are entitled solely to financial returns proportionate to their capital investments. Furthermore, the financing landscape is marred by the prevalence of counterfeit shares and unethical intermediary practices. Some entities falsely assert ownership of shares, while there have been instances where investors, despite paying a hefty 5 million yuan meeting fee, have yet to have an encounter with Liang Wenfeng.
