1 colleague, Mr. Timothy -- Tim. 09:29:59 2 Q. Tim Miltenberger? 09:30:01 3 A. I believe so. I don't remember his last 09:30:05 4 name. It sounds like it correct. 09:30:07 5 Q. Okay. Did you meet or consult with any 09:30:09 6 lawyers from the Brown Rudnick firm to prepare for 09:30:13 7 today's deposition? 09:30:23 8 A. No, I didn't. 09:30:24 9 Q. When was Golden Spring (New York) Limited 09:30:27 10 formed? 09:30:40 11 A. Golden Spring (New York) Limited was formed 09:30:40 12 in the year of 2015. 09:30:45 13 Q. Does March 2015 sound about right to you? 09:30:47 14 A. In March, yes. 09:30:54 15 Q. What is Golden Spring (New York)'s 09:30:59 16 relationship to Golden Spring (Hong Kong)? 09:31:03 17 A. Golden Spring (New York) Limited is 09:31:09 18 100 percent owned by China Golden Spring (Hong Kong). 09:31:15 19 Q. And for purposes of today's deposition, I'm 09:31:21 20 going to refer to China Golden Spring (Hong Kong) as 09:31:27 21 just Golden Spring (Hong Kong). 09:31:33 22 Is that okay with you? 09:31:36 23 A. Yes. 09:31:37 24 Q. Okay. Did you ever work at Golden Spring 09:31:39 25 (Hong Kong)? 09:31:45 Page 18

| 1 | A. Yes. | 09:31:49 | |----|-----------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Do you recall when you worked there? | 09:31:50 | | 3 | A. That was back to 2016 for, like, a couple of | 09:31:53 | | 4 | months. | 09:32:05 | | 5 | Q. Okay. I would like to show you what I'm | 09:32:07 | | 6 | going to mark as Exhibit 1. | 09:32:22 | | 7 | (Deposition Exhibit Number 1 | 09:32:29 | | 8 | was marked for identification.) | 09:32:29 | | 9 | MR. HARBACH: And we'll just wait a moment | 09:32:32 | | 10 | for my colleague to drop it in there. Just sit | 09:32:34 | | 11 | tight, everybody. It will be there in a second. | 09:32:56 | | 12 | Sorry for the delay. We are working on it. It seems | 09:33:17 | | 13 | to be a little slow. It is uploading now. | 09:33:30 | | 14 | Ms. Russo is telling me it should be in | 09:34:30 | | 15 | there, but I don't see it in my marked exhibits | 09:34:33 | | 16 | folder. | 09:34:37 | | 17 | Does anyone else? | 09:34:38 | | 18 | MR. KAPLAN: There -- there are two folders. | 09:34:42 | | 19 | It looks like it is in the second one. | 09:34:45 | | 20 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. Got it. | 09:34:57 | | 21 | MR. ROSEN: Counsel -- | 09:34:59 | | 22 | MR. HARBACH: That seems -- | 09:35:00 | | 23 | MR. ROSEN: -- before we -- | 09:35:00 | | 24 | MR. HARBACH: That seems to be the way it is | 09:35:02 | | 25 | on -- on my computer. It is in the second one in | 09:35:05 | | | | Page 19 |

1 the -- the second one that says deposition of 09:35:07 2 Yvette Wang. 09:35:11 3 MR. ROSEN: Counsel, before you proceed with 09:35:11 4 the question, could you please explain to me which of 09:35:13 5 the 30(b)(6) topics this document pertains to. 09:35:17 6 MR. HARBACH: Well, it could be -- it could 09:35:23 7 be any number of them because the document is the 09:35:25 8 transcript of her prior deposition; so it will be 09:35:29 9 multiple such topics. 09:35:33 10 MR. ROSEN: I'll reserve the right to object 09:35:36 11 and instruct the witness not to answer if it exceeds 09:35:38 12 the scope of the 30(b)(6). 09:35:42 13 But go ahead and proceed. 09:35:43 14 MR. HARBACH: Understood. 09:35:46 15 Is there anyone who can't see the exhibit in 09:35:49 16 their marked exhibits folder before I go on? 09:35:51 17 BY MR. HARBACH: 09:35:59 18 Q. Okay. Ms. Wang, can you see it? 09:36:00 19 A. Sir, I can see a .pd- -- it says .pdf file 09:36:03 20 with forty-two pages. 09:36:07 21 Q. You got it? 09:36:09 22 A. This is the one? 09:36:11 23 Got it. Okay. 09:36:12 24 Q. Yes, ma'am. 09:36:13 25 Please open that one up. 09:36:15 Page 20

| 1 | A. (Witness complies.) | 09:36:18 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Yes. | 09:36:18 | | 3 | Q. So just to refresh your recollection before | 09:36:19 | | 4 | I proceed, the question I put to you concerned the | 09:36:22 | | 5 | dates that you worked at Golden Spring (Hong Kong). | 09:36:25 | | 6 | And I believe you said that it was approximately | 09:36:31 | | 7 | 2016. And I just want to show you in the deposition | 09:36:36 | | 8 | in 2018 where you were asked about this. Let me read | 09:36:42 | | 9 | what you said, and then ask the question again. | 09:36:49 | | 10 | So I -- can I direct your attention to page | 09:36:52 | | 11 | thirty of the transcript. | 09:36:55 | | 12 | A. (Witness complies.) | 09:37:00 | | 13 | Q. Let me know when you are there. | 09:37:02 | | 14 | A. Page thirty, three, zero, sir; right? | 09:37:09 | | 15 | Q. Yes, ma'am. That is right. | 09:37:15 | | 16 | And it is the -- you know, page thirty of | 09:37:18 | | 17 | the miniature pages. | 09:37:21 | | 18 | Do you see how each of the miniature pages | 09:37:23 | | 19 | is numbered? | 09:37:26 | | 20 | A. I am on page thirty. | 09:37:30 | | 21 | What do you mean, miniature pages? I don't | 09:37:33 | | 22 | understand that. | 09:37:38 | | 23 | Q. Well, each -- sure. | 09:37:39 | | 24 | Each page of the document that I just sent | 09:37:41 | | 25 | you has four pages of the transcript on it. | 09:37:44 | | | | Page 21 |

| 1 | Do you see that? | 09:37:47 | |---|------------------|----------| | 2 | A. Yes. | 09:37:48 |

| 2 | A. Yes. | 09:37:48 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 3 | Q. Okay. So those are the page numbers that | 09:37:48 | | 4 | I am referring to. And on page thirty, at line ten, | 09:37:52 | | 5 | you were asked a question that reads: | 09:38:03 | | 6 | "QUESTION: Then you moved to Hong Kong | 09:38:05 | | 7 | in 2015 to work in September of 2015 to work | 09:38:07 | | 8 | for Golden Spring (Hong Kong)?" | 09:38:13 | | 9 | And your answer was: | 09:38:18 | | 10 | "ANSWER: Yes." | 09:38:19 | | 11 | Do you see that there? | 09:38:21 | | 12 | A. Sir, which page? It is page thirty, but | 09:38:23 | | 13 | there are four -- four little page number. | 09:38:26 | | 14 | Q. For -- | 09:38:31 | | 15 | A. I'm not sure which one. | 09:38:32 | | 16 | Q. Right. | 09:38:34 | | 17 | A. Is it Page 113 or 14, 15 or 16? Which one | 09:38:35 | | 18 | you are talking about? | 09:38:39 | | 19 | Q. I understand. I understand your confusion. | 09:38:41 | | 20 | When I refer to page numbers of this | 09:38:44 | | 21 | transcript, I am only talking about the pages -- the | 09:38:46 | | 22 | page numbers for the small pages. | 09:38:51 | | 23 | A. Oh. | 09:38:53 | | 24 | Q. Okay? | 09:38:54 | | 25 | And I know it is confusing. I'm sorry. | 09:38:57 | | | | Page 22 |

| 1 | A. All right. Let me go back and find it. | 09:38:59 | |----|----------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Yeah. Go back to page thirty of the little | 09:39:01 | | 3 | pages. | 09:39:04 | | 4 | A. (Witness complies.) | 09:39:06 | | 5 | Yes. | 09:39:14 | | 6 | I'm on the little page, on page thirty right | 09:39:14 | | 7 | now. | 09:39:17 | | 8 | Q. Okay. Yes. Sorry for the confusion. | 09:39:17 | | 9 | So take a look at line ten on page thirty, | 09:39:19 | | 10 | and you will see a question there about when you | 09:39:22 | | 11 | moved to Hong Kong to work for Golden Spring | 09:39:26 | | 12 | (Hong Kong). | 09:39:30 | | 13 | Do you see that? | 09:39:31 | | 14 | A. Yes. | 09:39:35 | | 15 | I saw this. | 09:39:53 | | 16 | Q. Okay. And so my question for you is -- | 09:39:55 | | 17 | first of all, let's just focus on the date. | 09:40:00 | | 18 | Okay? Having read this, does that inform | 09:40:03 | | 19 | your judgment about when it was that you began to | 09:40:09 | | 20 | work for Golden Spring (Hong Kong)? | 09:40:12 | | 21 | A. My answer, back to this page, which I mean | 09:40:16 | | 22 | that, yes. I moved to Hong Kong in 2015, and then | 09:40:25 | | 23 | I worked in there. I traveled to -- in U.S. But if | 09:40:28 | | 24 | you have my full Golden Spring (New York) corporation | 09:40:34 | | 25 | records, I officially start work in Golden Spring | 09:40:41 | | | | |

| 1 | from 2018, I believe; so before that I don't believe | 09:40:44 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | I work for Golden Spring (New York). Technically, | 09:40:52 | | 3 | I work for Golden Spring (Hong Kong) and -- which | 09:40:56 | | 4 | include the time of the 2016, when I revert because | 09:41:01 | | 5 | 2015 -- 2016 I revert. 2016, that is a more | 09:41:06 | | 6 | consecutive period of time for me to base in | 09:41:12 | | 7 | Hong Kong; so besides that, I traveled between | 09:41:16 | | 8 | Hong Kong/U.S. | 09:41:20 | | 9 | Q. Okay. So I think I understand you, but | 09:41:22 | | 10 | I want to make sure. | 09:41:25 | | 11 | In approximately 2015 you started working | 09:41:28 | | 12 | for Golden Spring (Hong Kong), and you worked for | 09:41:33 | | 13 | Golden Spring (Hong Kong) until sometime in 2018, at | 09:41:40 | | 14 | which point you began working for Golden Spring | 09:41:46 | | 15 | (New York). | 09:41:49 | | 16 | Do I have that right? | 09:41:49 | | 17 | A. I officially started to work for | 09:41:53 | | 18 | Golden Spring (New York) from 2018, yes. You are | 09:41:57 | | 19 | correct on that. | 09:42:03 | | 20 | Q. Okay. And prior to that, you worked for | 09:42:04 | | 21 | Golden Spring (Hong Kong); is that correct? | 09:42:10 | | 22 | A. I believe it is more a mix because I was | 09:42:14 | | 23 | working for Golden Spring (Hong Kong) and same time | 09:42:20 | | 24 | I was working for Mr. Qiang Guo, his family business | 09:42:23 | | 25 | in China also; so that is the reason when I referred | 09:42:29 | | | | |

| 1 | I was in Hong Kong in 2016. That is a -- as I said, | 09:42:33 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | a period of consecutive time for me to -- leaving | 09:42:42 | | 3 | Hong Kong and working Hong Kong -- for Hong Kong. | 09:42:46 | | 4 | That is my -- that is my representation. | 09:42:49 | | 5 | Q. Were you -- at the time you were working for | 09:42:51 | | 6 | Golden Spring (Hong Kong), were you physically in | 09:42:55 | | 7 | Hong Kong? | 09:43:00 | | 8 | A. Not always. | 09:43:03 | | 9 | Q. Okay. When did you move to the | 09:43:05 | | 10 | United States? | 09:43:11 | | 11 | A. What do you mean, move, sir? | 09:43:11 | | 12 | Q. When did you come to the United States for | 09:43:17 | | 13 | the first time? How about that? | 09:43:22 | | 14 | A. That was many years ago. | 09:43:26 | | 15 | Q. Did you come to the United States during the | 09:43:28 | | 16 | time that you worked for Golden Spring (Hong Kong)? | 09:43:34 | | 17 | A. Yes. | 09:43:37 | | 18 | During the time I worked for Golden Spring | 09:43:39 | | 19 | (Hong Kong), I did travel into the United States | 09:43:43 | | 20 | also. | 09:43:46 | | 21 | Q. Okay. When was that? | 09:43:47 | | 22 | A. Oh, I couldn't recall. It should -- between | 09:43:49 | | 23 | 2015 to 2017 or '18. I couldn't recall. | 09:43:56 | | 24 | Q. When you came to the United States in that | 09:44:07 | | 25 | time period, did you return to China? | 09:44:10 | | | | Page 25 |

| 1 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. Counsel, could you | 09:44:15 | |----|-----------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | please show me which of the 30(b)(6) topics this | 09:44:18 | | 3 | relates to and give me some explanation as to where | 09:44:21 | | 4 | you are going here. | 09:44:24 | | 5 | MR. HARBACH: Yeah. Sure. | 09:44:26 | | 6 | I am really just trying to get basic | 09:44:26 | | 7 | background of the witness' affiliation with the | 09:44:29 | | 8 | company that she represents. It is very basic. I am | 09:44:34 | | 9 | trying to figure out when she worked, where, and for | 09:44:36 | | 10 | whom. That's it. It informs her competency as the | 09:44:40 | | 11 | 30(b)(6) witness, and it gives con- -- it gives | 09:44:44 | | 12 | context to her later testimony. | 09:44:47 | | 13 | MR. ROSEN: I -- honestly, I don't see how | 09:44:49 | | 14 | her travel plans has anything to do with this. | 09:44:52 | | 15 | And I'm going to instruct the witness at | 09:44:56 | | 16 | this point to simply not answer questions about her | 09:44:58 | | 17 | travel and her whereabouts at various times. If you | 09:45:02 | | 18 | would like to ask questions about her specific duties | 09:45:05 | | 19 | and what she performed and when she performed it, | 09:45:08 | | 20 | I have no objection to that. | 09:45:11 | | 21 | MR. HARBACH: And you -- you are going to | 09:45:12 | | 22 | object to any question about her physical location | 09:45:13 | | 23 | when she performed those duties? Is that what | 09:45:16 | | 24 | I understand? | 09:45:18 | | 25 | MR. ROSEN: You -- your questions were going | 09:45:20 | | | | |

| 1 | way beyond that. If you want to ask her specific | 09:45:23 | |----|-----------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | duty and where she was, then we can address that | 09:45:25 | | 3 | question as it comes up. But you are asking about | 09:45:28 | | 4 | general travel plans. You are asking about her -- | 09:45:31 | | 5 | her work for other companies. She is a 30(b)(6) | 09:45:35 | | 6 | witness for Golden Spring (New York), and that is | 09:45:38 | | 7 | where the questions should be directed. | 09:45:41 | | 8 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 09:45:44 | | 9 | Q. Ms. Wang, where were you physically located | 09:45:45 | | 10 | when you worked for Golden Spring (Hong Kong)? | 09:45:47 | | 11 | A. What do you mean, physically located? | 09:45:55 | | 12 | I mean, like, stay in hotel or staying -- I mean, | 09:45:59 | | 13 | I don't understand, sir. | 09:46:03 | | 14 | Q.

I was in Hong Kong, and I was -- I traveled | 09:46:10 | | 17 | in the U.S. I traveled in UK. I mean, I still don't | 09:46:14 | | 18 | understand what do you mean physically located, but | 09:46:19 | | 19 | that is the places I had been to. | 09:46:22 | | 20 | Q. Okay. Did there come a time when you | 09:46:24 | | 21 | merge -- moved to the United States permanently for | 09:46:29 | | 22 | work? | 09:46:35 | | 23 | A. Sir, what do you mean permanently? | 09:46:35 | | 24 | Q. Did you move? | 09:46:38 | | 25 | A. Permanent -- | 09:46:40 | | | | Page 27 |

That was April 23rd, 2015." | 09:49:52 | | 15 | Do you see that there? | 09:49:59 | | 16 | A. Yes, I did. | 09:50:01 | | 17 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. This deposition, for | 09:50:02 | | 18 | the record -- correction. | 09:50:04 | | 19 | This testimony, for the record, was given in | 09:50:06 | | 20 | May of 2019, just under three years ago. | 09:50:09 | | 21 | BY MR.

I left China. I came | 09:50:40 | | 4 | to New York -- I came to New York first. Then I went | 09:50:45 | | 5 | back to Hong Kong. | 09:50:49 | | 6 | So regarding work for it the Guo family, | 09:50:50 | | 7 | which I refer always as my -- my boss -- like, the | 09:50:54 | | 8 | owner of Golden Spring, Mr. Qiang Guo -- Q-i-a-n-g | 09:51:00 | | 9 | G-u-o -- that is the same Guo family. | 09:51:06 | | 10 | Q. So did you start working for the Guo family | 09:51:09 | | 11 | in New York in April of 2015? Is that correct or not | 09:51:23 | | 12 | correct? | 09:51:33 | | 13 | A.

Let me -- let me interrupt and ask my | 09:51:43 | | 16 | question again as you may have misunderstood it. | 09:51:46 | | 17 | Did you start working for the Guo family in | 09:51:49 | | 18 | New York in April of 2015? | 09:51:52 | | 19 | A. Start work for the Guo family. I mean, | 09:52:00 | | 20 | again, I don't remember this question many years ago. | 09:52:13 | | 21 | As I said -- | 09:52:17 | | 22 | Q. No. | 09:52:18 | | 23 | You -- you -- you testified that it was | 09:52:18 | | 24 | a date you'll never forget; so that is why I'm | 09:52:20 | | 25 | pressing you a little bit on it. | 09:52:25 | | | | Page 30 |

| 1 | My question is when did you start working | 09:52:27 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | for the Guo family in New York? The transcript here | 09:52:32 | | 3 | seems to suggest that that was in April of 2015, and | 09:52:38 | | 4 | I'm asking you whether that is accurate. | 09:52:44 | | 5 | Is it accurate? Is it not accurate? Or do | 09:52:47 | | 6 | you not know? | 09:52:51 | | 7 | A. April 23rd in 2015. That is the date | 09:52:52 | | 8 | I never forgot because I left China. I was never -- | 09:53:00 | | 9 | I was never able to go back. | 09:53:03 | | 10 | Okay? | 09:53:06 | | 11 | So that is accurate. When I answered this | 09:53:07 | | 12 | question, I don't believe I have any interpreter help | 09:53:10 | | 13 | me by then; so the question looks like right now | 09:53:14 | | 14 | reading as when did you move to New York to start | 09:53:18 | | 15 | working for the Guo family? I was not quite | 09:53:21 | | 16 | understanding this question without translation by | 09:53:24 | | 17 | then; so if you ask me when I start to work for Guo | 09:53:27 | | 18 | family, which I can tell you, I started -- my career | 09:53:31 | | 19 | started from 2008, but I started to work for Guo | 09:53:36 | | 20 | family outside of China. That was started from 2015. | 09:53:40 | | 21 | That is my correct and truthful answer now. | 09:53:44 | | 22 | Q. And that was in New York City; correct? | 09:53:47 | | 23 | A. Starting from New York and Hong Kong. | 09:53:49 | | 24 | Q. Okay. | 09:53:53 | | 25 | A. I mean, by then Mr. Qiang Guo, he was in | 09:54:06 | | | | Page 31 |

| 1 | New York and Hong Kong both. I don't see now where | 09:54:09 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | there is any problem. I said I'll work in New York | 09:54:11 | | 3 | and Hong Kong -- starting from New York and back to | 09:54:11 | | 4 | Hong Kong because I originally need to follow | 09:54:13 | | 5 | Mr. Qiang Guo, if that makes sense to you, sir. | 09:54:18 | | 6 | Q. Well, I just want to point out that I wasn't | 09:54:21 | | 7 | suggesting there was a problem. I am just trying to | 09:54:25 | | 8 | understand the facts of what happened; so here is my | 09:54:28 | | 9 | next question. | 09:54:31 | | 10 | When did you start working at Golden Spring | 09:54:32 | | 11 | (New York)? | 09:54:36 | | 12 | A. I believe I replied your question, sir, | 09:54:40 | | 13 | about Golden Spring (New York). That was started -- | 09:54:44 | | 14 | I was appointed as officer and director of | 09:54:46 | | 15 | Golden Spring (New York). | 09:54:50 | | 16 | Q. When? | 09:54:50 | | 17 | A. 2018. | 09:54:51 | | 18 | Q. Do you recall when in 2018? | 09:54:54 | | 19 | A. In spring of 2018. | 09:54:59 | | 20 | Q. Okay. Let's go back to Exhibit 1. Let me | 09:55:02 | | 21 | know when you have got Exhibit 1 pulled up, Ms. Wang. | 09:55:14 | | 22 | A. (Witness complies.) | 09:55:19 | | 23 | Yes. I'm here. | 09:55:20 | | 24 | Q. Okay. Page numbers again, I'm talking about | 09:55:22 | | 25 | the little page numbers. If you please go to page | 09:55:25 | | | | Page 32 |

| 1 | thirty-five. | 09:55:32 | |----|-----------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. (Witness complies.) | 09:55:36 | | 3 | Q. Let me know -- | 09:55:50 | | 4 | A. Yes. | 09:55:51 | | 5 | Q. -- when you are there. | 09:55:52 | | 6 | A. Yes. I'm here. | 09:55:54 | | 7 | Q. Okay. Take a look on page thirty-five of | 09:55:55 | | 8 | Exhibit 1, line ten. | 09:55:59 | | 9 | A. (Witness complies.) | 09:56:00 | | 10 | Q. The question reads: | 09:56:05 | | 11 | "QUESTION: You said in February of 2018 | 09:56:07 | | 12 | you came to work for Golden Spring | 09:56:09 | | 13 | (New York)?" | 09:56:09 | | 14 | And your answer was: | 09:56:13 | | 15 | "ANSWER: Yes." | 09:56:15 | | 16 | Now, my only focus here is on whether | 09:56:16 | | 17 | February of '18 sounds like the correct date to you | 09:56:18 | | 18 | of when you started working for Golden Spring | 09:56:22 | | 19 | (New York). | 09:56:25 | | 20 | A. Sir, I replied as in spring of 2018. | 09:56:28 | | 21 | I mean -- | 09:56:33 | | 22 | Q. I'm -- I'm not suggesting anything other | 09:56:36 | | 23 | than whether February is correct. | 09:56:39 | | 24 | Does that sound about right to you? | 09:56:42 | | 25 | A. I don't recall. In spring of 2018. You | 09:56:46 | | | | Page 33 |

| 1 | could check on Golden Spring (New York)'s corporation | 09:56:49 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | book. It should be clearly in there. | 09:56:54 | | 3 | Q. Was anyone else working at Golden Spring | 09:56:56 | | 4 | (New York) when you started there in the spring of | 09:57:07 | | 5 | 2018? | 09:57:09 | | 6 | A. What do you mean, is there anyone working at | 09:57:10 | | 7 | Golden Spring (New York)? | 09:57:20 | | 8 | Q. Well, you mentioned that you were, I think | 09:57:21 | | 9 | you said, appointed to Golden Spring in the spring of | 09:57:24 | | 10 | 2018. | 09:57:29 | | 11 | My question for you is at the time that you | 09:57:32 | | 12 | were appointed, were there any other people working | 09:57:34 | | 13 | for Golden Spring (New York)? | 09:57:40 | | 14 | A. Mr. Qiang Guo, himself. | 09:57:44 | | 15 | Q. Okay. And what was his job? | 09:57:49 | | 16 | A. He is one of the directors of Golden Spring | 09:57:55 | | 17 | (New York). | 09:57:59 | | 18 | Q. Anyone else? | 09:57:59 | | 19 | A. No. | 09:58:03 | | 20 | Just me and himself, when I was appointed. | 09:58:08 | | 21 | Q. So no other employees who worked at | 09:58:14 | | 22 | Golden Spring at that time? | 09:58:19 | | 23 | A. I don't recall. | 09:58:23 | | 24 | Q. Do you recall whether there was a chauffeur | 09:58:23 | | 25 | who worked for Golden Spring (New York) at that time? | 09:58:33 | | | | Page 34 |

| 1 | A. | I don't recall. | 09:58:35 | |----|----|-------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. | Let's take a look at Exhibit 1 again. | 09:58:35 | | 3 | A. | (Witness complies.) | 09:58:41 | | 4 | Q. | And this time let's go to page forty. | 09:58:51 | | 5 | A. | (Witness complies.) | 09:58:55 | | 6 | Q. | Tell me when you are there. | 09:59:02 | | 7 | A. | Yes, I am. | 09:59:07 | | 8 | Q. | Okay. Take a look at line seven. You say: | 09:59:08 | | 9 | | "ANSWER: I remember that there was | 09:59:24 | | 10 | | a driver. I met a chauffeur, a Korean | 09:59:25 | | 11 | | gentleman, yes." | 09:59:30 | | 12 | | And then there is a question: | 09:59:33 | | 13 | | "QUESTION: You believe he was an | 09:59:35 | | 14 | | employee of Golden Spring before February of | 09:59:36 | | 15 | | '18?" | 09:59:39 | | 16 | | Your answer: | 09:59:40 | | 17 | | "ANSWER: February of 2018, that was he | 09:59:43 | | 18 | | told me by then. | 09:59:46 | | 19 | | "QUESTION: You met a chauffeur who told | 09:59:48 | | 20 | | you that he was an employee of Golden Spring | 09:59:50 | | 21 | | (New York)? | 09:59:53 | | 22 | | "ANSWER: Yes." | 09:59:54 | | 23 | | And then you say that he was the one who | 09:59:55 | | 24 | | picked you up at the airport. | 09:59:58 | | 25 | | Does that refresh your recollection about | 10:00:01 | | | | | Page 35 |

| 1 | whether there was a chauffeur employed at | 10:00:03 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Golden Spring (New York) when you started there? | 10:00:07 | | 3 | A. Sir, I am the witness today -- in my | 10:00:12 | | 4 | understanding is about bankruptcy. I mean that this | 10:00:18 | | 5 | is my task -- this was my testimony how many years | 10:00:21 | | 6 | ago? Three, four years ago? | 10:00:27 | | 7 | I mean, I could remember by then because | 10:00:29 | | 8 | that was a relatively closer date. I was deposed in | 10:00:32 | | 9 | October 2018, as you said. Now it is almost three | 10:00:37 | | 10 | and a half, four years after. I mean, just so many | 10:00:41 | | 11 | years pass by, I couldn't remember that. But since | 10:00:45 | | 12 | my testimony back to 2018 in here said that, that is | 10:00:50 | | 13 | possible. That reminded me. That's right. But that | 10:00:54 | | 14 | doesn't mean that after three and a half, four years, | 10:00:57 | | 15 | I still should remember all the details; right? I am | 10:01:02 | | 16 | being deposed in here about a bankruptcy. | 10:01:02 | | 17 | Am I correct about this? | 10:01:07 | | 18 | Q. Well, you are -- you are right about one | 10:01:09 | | 19 | part, and that is that I offered you this information | 10:01:11 | | 20 | to see if it would help refresh your memory. | 10:01:14 | | 21 | And, indeed, that was the question, whether | 10:01:19 | | 22 | reading this transcript helps refresh your memory | 10:01:22 | | 23 | about whether there was a chauffeur working at | 10:01:25 | | 24 | Golden Spring (New York) when you started. | 10:01:30 | | 25 | A. I -- | 10:01:31 | | | | Page 36 |

| 1 | MR. ROSEN: At this point, I'm going to | 10:01:31 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | instruct the witness not to answer any further | 10:01:33 | | 3 | questions along these lines. | 10:01:36 | | 4 | This is a deposition in a contested matter | 10:01:37 | | 5 | for approval of a DIP financing arrangement in | 10:01:41 | | 6 | a bankruptcy case. So far, of the list of 30(b)(6) | 10:01:49 | | 7 | topics, these questions barely hit on any of these -- | 10:01:52 | | 8 | of the topics, maybe a little bit on the ownership | 10:01:55 | | 9 | structure. You have already covered the officers, | 10:01:58 | | 10 | employees, and directors, and so far nothing about | 10:02:02 | | 11 | a DIP loan. | 10:02:06 | | 12 | So I would ask you, if you are going to do | 10:02:07 | | 13 | a fishing expedition or try and extend litigation | 10:02:10 | | 14 | from other courts here, that I would have to instruct | 10:02:12 | | 15 | the witness not to answer. | 10:02:17 | | 16 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 10:02:18 | | 17 | Q. Ms. Wang, just a moment ago you said that | 10:02:18 | | 18 | reading this deposition transcript did help you | 10:02:22 | | 19 | remember. | 10:02:26 | | 20 | And so my question is was there or was there | 10:02:26 | | 21 | not a chauffeur working at Golden Spring (New York) | 10:02:29 | | 22 | at the time you started there? | 10:02:32 | | 23 | A. As my testimony back to 2018 said so, it is | 10:02:37 | | 24 | possible. You are helpful, sir. | 10:02:42 | | 25 | Q. Okay. Was Mr. Mileson Kwok living in | 10:02:44 | | | | Page 37 |

1 New York when you started working at Golden Spring 10:03:01 2 (New York)? 10:03:03 3 MR. ROSEN: Objection. I instruct the 10:03:03 4 witness not to answer. 10:03:05 5 This has no relevance whatsoever to any of 10:03:06 6 the 30(b)(6) deposition topics, none. And the 10:03:06 7 purpose of this is strictly to either relitigate or 10:03:12 8 extend litigation from other courts or to harass this 10:03:13 9 witness. 10:03:17 10 BY MR. HARBACH: 10:03:18 11 Q. Ms. Wang, do you know who Mileson Kwok is? 10:03:18 12 A. Can you spell the name again, sir, please? 10:03:25 13 Q. Yes. 10:03:28 14 M-i-l-e-s-o-n Kwok, K-w-o-k. 10:03:29 15 Do you know who that is? 10:03:39 16 A. I don't know who you are referring, sir. 10:03:41 17 Q. Okay. You have mentioned someone who was 10:03:43 18 a director of Golden Spring at the time you became 10:03:47 19 a director. 10:03:51 20 What is that person's name? 10:03:52 21 A. If you refer to Mr. Qiang Guo, the same 10:03:56 22 director when I was appointed, his name is Q-i-a-n-g 10:04:01 23 G-u-o. His English name is Mileson, M-i-l-e-s-o-n, 10:04:08 24 and the last name is G-u-o, sir, if that is helpful 10:04:20 25 to you. 10:04:25

| | 280 | | | | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------|--|--| | 1 | Is this the person you are referring? | 10:04:27 | | | | 2 | Q. It -- it is. | 10:04:29 | | | | 3 | A. Okay. | 10:04:29 | | | | 4 | Q. And -- | 10:04:29 | | | | 5 | A. I never heard about someone called | 10:04:30 | | | | 6 | Mileson Kwok. I mean, I never heard about this | 10:04:33 | | | | 7 | person. | 10:04:36 | | | | 8 | Q. Okay. How is Mileson Guo related to | 10:04:36 | | | | 9 | Wengui Guo? And that is spelled W-e-n-g-u-i G-u-o. | 10:04:45 | | | | 10 | How are they related, if at all, if you | 10:04:57 | | | | 11 | know? | 10:05:00 | | | | 12 | A. Mr. Qiang Guo -- Q-i-a-n-g G-u-o -- he is | 10:05:00 | | | | 13 | the son of Mr. H-o W-a-n K-w-o-k. | 10:05:07 | | | | 14 | Q. And that is H-o W-a-n K-w-o-k; correct? | 10:05:23 | | | | 15 | A. You are right, sir. | 10:05:29 | | | | 16 | Q. So for ease of understanding for everyone | 10:05:30 | | | | 17 | who is reading this transcript, can we please refer | 10:05:33 | | |

18 to Mr. Ho Wan Kwok's son as Mileson? Is that okay 10:05:36

19 with you? 10:05:45

20 A. No, sir. 10:05:46

21 I will prefer to stay with Mr. Qiang Guo. 10:05:47

22 The reason because, again, English is not my mother 10:05:51

23 language. I do not want to pronounce something which 10:05:54

24 was -- which could be misunderstood by everyone here, 10:05:58

25 if I may. 10:06:03

| 1 | Q. No problem at all. | 10:06:04 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. Thank you. | 10:06:08 | | 3 | Q. So we'll stick with Qiang Guo. | 10:06:09 | | 4 | A. Thank you. | 10:06:14 | | 5 | Q. Okay. And you just testified that he is the | 10:06:14 | | 6 | son of Ho Wan Kwok, the debtor; right? | 10:06:17 | | 7 | A. You are right, sir. Yes. | 10:06:21 | | 8 | Q. So my question is was Qiang Guo living in | 10:06:22 | | 9 | New York when you started working at Golden Spring | 10:06:26 | | 10 | (New York)? | 10:06:28 | | 11 | A. What do you mean, living in New York, sir? | 10:06:30 | | 12 | Like, I mean, I don't understand. Travel in there. | 10:06:35 | | 13 | I met him in there, yes. I don't understand what you | 10:06:38 | | 14 | mean, living in New York. | 10:06:42 | | 15 | MR. HARBACH: Sunny, perhaps you can help | 10:06:45 | | 16 | me. My question in English would be did | 10:06:48 | | 17 | Mr. Qiang Guo live in New York at the time you | 10:06:52 | | 18 | started working at Golden Spring (New York)? | 10:06:56 | | 19 | Could you please translate that for me? | 10:06:59 | | 20 | THE INTERPRETER: (Interprets question.) | 10:07:36 | | 21 | THE WITNESS: (Through the Interpreter) | 10:07:36 | | 22 | I officially started working for Golden Spring | 10:07:36 | | 23 | (New York) in 2018. I don't recall whether or not | 10:07:39 | | 24 | Mr. Qiang Guo was living in New York at the time. | 10:07:41 | | 25 | /// | | | | | |

| 1 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 10:07:46 | |----|-----------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Did you see him in New York personally | 10:07:46 | | 3 | around the time that you started working at | 10:07:54 | | 4 | Golden Spring (New York)? | 10:07:57 | | 5 | A. I don't recall. | 10:08:01 | | 6 | Q. Have you ever seen Mr. Qiang Guo personally | 10:08:02 | | 7 | in New York? | 10:08:10 | | 8 | A. Yes, I did. | 10:08:13 | | 9 | Q. When was the last time? | 10:08:14 | | 10 | A. I don't recall. | 10:08:18 | | 11 | Q. Within the last year? | 10:08:21 | | 12 | A. I don't recall. | 10:08:25 | | 13 | Q. Within the last five years? | 10:08:26 | | 14 | A. Yes. | 10:08:30 | | 15 | It was possible. | 10:08:37 | | 16 | Q. Was Mr. Ho Wan Kwok living in New York at | 10:08:38 | | 17 | the time you started working for Golden Spring | 10:08:47 | | 18 | (New York)? | 10:08:49 | | 19 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. This is the same | 10:08:51 | | 20 | issue. | 10:08:53 | | 21 | I think -- Counsel, could you please explain | 10:08:55 | | 22 | the relevance of this question to me. | 10:08:56 | | 23 | MR. HARBACH: Well, as you know, | 10:09:02 | | 24 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok is the debtor, and it is certainly | 10:09:03 | | 25 | with- -- within the scope of appropriate topics, in | 10:09:07 | | | | Page 41 |

| 1 | our view, for me to explore Mr. Ho Wan Kwok's | 10:09:13 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | relationship to Golden Spring (New York), which is | 10:09:17 | | 3 | his putative lender on this DIP loan; so I'm starting | 10:09:20 | | 4 | with the question about where Mr. Kwok lived at the | 10:09:29 | | 5 | time the witness started working at Golden Spring | 10:09:32 | | 6 | (New York). That is the relevance. | 10:09:34 | | 7 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 10:09:35 | | 8 | Q. Ms. Wang, what is the answer? | 10:09:35 | | 9 | MR. ROSEN: I'm going to instruct the | 10:09:37 | | 10 | witness not to answer this question. This is -- | 10:09:38 | | 11 | there is no relevance that I can see to disclosing | 10:09:42 | | 12 | the whereabouts and the present location of parties | 10:09:44 | | 13 | here to a DIP loan funding. This is just -- it is | 10:09:48 | | 14 | just harassment. | 10:09:53 | | 15 | MR. HARBACH: So you are -- you are | 10:09:57 | | 16 | instructing the witness not to answer, Scott? | 10:09:58 | | 17 | MR. ROSEN: Yes, I am. | 10:10:01 | | 18 | MR.

When -- when you were working for | 10:14:13 | | 15 | Golden Spring (Hong Kong), did you have any titles? | 10:14:28 | | 16 | A. I don't recall. Too many years ago. | 10:14:35 | | 17 | Q. What were your duties at Golden Spring | 10:14:42 | | 18 | (Hong Kong)? | 10:14:45 | | 19 | MR. ROSEN: Objection.

HARBACH: Again, I'm exploring her | 10:15:01 | | 24 | competency to testify as a representative of | 10:15:04 | | 25 | Golden Spring (New York) by reference to her prior | 10:15:07 | | | | Page 44 |

| 1 | experience and its relationship to her current | 10:15:10 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | titles. | 10:15:13 | | 3 | MR. ROSEN: I'll let the objection stand. | 10:15:16 | | 4 | But you can answer the question. | 10:15:19 | | 5 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 10:15:22 | | 6 | Q. The question, Ms. Wang, was what were your | 10:15:23 | | 7 | duties at Golden Spring (Hong Kong)? | 10:15:25 | | 8 | A. I took instruction from the owner of | 10:15:28 | | 9 | company, Mr. Qiang Guo, and worked for him. | 10:15:34 | | 10 | Q. Did you -- doing what? | 10:15:42 | | 11 | A. Doing the task that he request me to do. | 10:15:46 | | 12 | I don't recall. It is too many years ago. | 10:15:52 | | 13 | Q. You -- you -- you don't recall what your | 10:15:54 | | 14 | tasks were? | 10:15:56 | | 15 | A. It is pretty diversified. | 10:15:58 | | 16 | Q. Okay. Do you recall whether when you were | 10:16:04 | | 17 | working for Golden Spring (Hong Kong) you did any | 10:16:15 | | 18 | work for Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? | 10:16:20 | | 19 | A. I'm sorry. | 10:16:21 | | 20 | Sir, what is your question? | 10:16:22 | | 21 | Q. When you were working for Golden Spring | 10:16:24 | | 22 | Hong Kong, did you do any work for Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? | 10:16:30 | | 23 | A. I don't recall. | 10:16:32 | | 24 | Q. Who appointed you to be president, | 10:16:33 | | 25 | secretary, treasurer, and a director of Golden Spring | 10:16:45 | | | | Page 45 |

280

1 (New York) Limited? 10:16:51

2 A. I was appointed by Mr. Qiang Guo. 10:16:52

3 Q. When he appointed you to those positions, 10:16:56

4 what did he tell you your duties would be? 10:17:00

| 5 | A. I was appointed, and he -- he requested me | 10:17:03 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 6 | to operate -- to run Golden Spring (New York), his | 10:17:14 | | 7 | company, as general. | 10:17:19 | | 8 | Q. Tell me what you mean by as general. | 10:17:21 | | 9 | A. I mean any task, assignment as the owner of | 10:17:25 | | 10 | company, himself, he requested to do that I will work | 10:17:34 |

| 12 | Q. When you assumed the role of president, | 10:17:40 | |----|-----------------------------------------------------|----------| | 13 | secretary, treasurer, and director of Golden Spring | 10:17:56 | | 14 | (New York), did you have any financial professional | 10:18:02 | | 15 | knowledge? | 10:18:05 | | 16 | A. What do you mean, financial professional | 10:18:07 | | 17 | knowledge, sir? | 10:18:14 | | 18 | Q. Let's go back to Exhibit 1. | 10:18:15 | | 19 | A. (Witness complies.) | 10:18:18 | | 20 | Q. Correction. Sorry. | 10:18:24 | | 21 | Exhibit 2. | 10:18:27 | | 22 | A. (Witness complies.) | 10:18:28 | | 23 | Q. Page forty-seven. | 10:18:35 | | | | |

11 for him. 10:17:39

24 A. (Witness complies.) 10:18:39 25 Q. Actually, you might need to look a bit 10:18:51

| 1 | earlier on to forty-six. | 10:18:55 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Tell me when you are there. | 10:18:59 | | 3 | A. I am on page forty-six. | 10:19:01 | | 4 | Q. Okay. At the bottom of page forty-six there | 10:19:03 | | 5 | is an answer that begins -- and it was in response to | 10:19:07 | | 6 | a question about some exhibit you were being shown. | 10:19:11 | | 7 | In the course of your answer, which goes on to page | 10:19:15 | | 8 | forty-seven, you say, among other things: | 10:19:19 | | 9 | "ANSWER: I am administrator to | 10:19:22 | | 10 | Golden Spring. This is not my choice because | 10:19:24 | | 11 | Chinese Communist party, they kidnap almost | 10:19:27 | | 12 | all my colleague, between me and the company; | 10:19:32 | | 13 | so my background, I do not have financial | 10:19:35 | | 14 | professional knowledge. I do not have | 10:19:38 | | 15 | American real estate professional knowledge." | 10:19:41 | | 16 | And your answer goes on. | 10:19:44 | | 17 | But I have just read the two sentences that | 10:19:47 | | 18 | I am interested in for my question because my | 10:19:49 | | 19 | question to you was when you assumed the roles of | 10:19:52 | | 20 | president, secretary, treasurer, and director of | 10:19:55 | | 21 | Golden Spring (New York) Limited, did you have any | 10:20:00 | | 22 | financial professional knowledge? | 10:20:04 | | 23 | What is the answer? | 10:20:10 | | 24 | A. These deposition happened in which year, | 10:20:11 | | 25 | sir? 2018 or '19? | 10:20:17 | | | | Page 47 |

| 1 | Q. The transcript that I just read from was not | 10:20:21 | |---|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | a deposition. It was testimony in court, and it was | 10:20:23 | | | | |

| 3 | in May of 2019. | 10:20:28 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 4 | A. Okay. | 10:20:32 | | 5 | Q. But these -- these appear to have been your | 10:20:32 | | 6 | words, and so that is why I asked the question. | 10:20:35 | | 7 | A. So back to 2019, my testifying -- my | 10:20:39 | | 8 | testimony was correct. I mean, the entire -- | 10:20:44 | | 9 | Mr. Qiang Guo, his family business, including his | 10:20:50 | | 10 | employees, were all persecuted. They are either | 10:20:53 | | 11 | arrested, kidnapped, or disappeared. I was one of | 10:21:00 | | 12 | the survivor by then. That was correct. | 10:21:04 | | 13 | And then when I testified back to 2019, | 10:21:07 | | 14 | I said I don't have -- that was -- I am humble; | 10:21:10 | | 15 | right? So that was my testimony -- test- -- | 10:21:18 | | 16 | testimony. And then now in 2022, I mean, I could | 10:21:21 | | 17 | learn lots in three years; right? | 10:21:26 | | 18 | Q. Of course. | 10:21:29 | | 19 | A. So -- | 10:21:29 | | 20 | Q. Of course. | 10:21:29 | | 21 | A. -- that doesn't mean I don't have anything | 10:21:29 | | 22 | for now -- | 10:21:31 | | 23 | Q. Of course. | 10:21:32 | | 24 | A. -- to testify in this bankruptcy, you know, | 10:21:32 | | 25 | deposition. | 10:21:35 | | | | Page 48 |

| 1 | Q. Yeah. I understand that -- that three years | 10:21:35 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | have passed. My question isn't about today. | 10:21:38 | | 3 | My question is about the day when you were | 10:21:43 | | 4 | appointed to be president, secretary, treasurer, and | 10:21:47 | | 5 | director of Golden Spring (New York). I'm asking | 10:21:53 | | 6 | about that day. | 10:21:56 | | 7 | And my question is as of that day, did you | 10:21:59 | | 8 | have any financial professional knowledge? | 10:22:03 | | 9 | A. What kind of financial professional | 10:22:08 | | 10 | knowledge you are looking for back to three years | 10:22:13 | | 11 | ago, sir? | 10:22:15 | | 12 | Q. They were your words, Ms. Wang. You said, | 10:22:16 | | 13 | I do not have financial professional knowledge. | 10:22:21 | | 14 | I don't know what you meant. That would be a good | 10:22:26 | | 15 | question, but it is what you said; so that is why | 10:22:28 | | 16 | I used those words in asking you. It is a simple | 10:22:33 | | 17 | question. | 10:22:36 | | 18 | All I'm asking is at the time you assumed | 10:22:38 | | 19 | all of those titles at Golden Spring (New York), did | 10:22:41 | | 20 | you have any financial professional knowledge? Yes | 10:22:44 | | 21 | or no? | 10:22:49 | | 22 | A. When I say I didn't -- when I said I don't | 10:22:54 | | 23 | have, as I repeat again, that is our culture -- our | 10:22:58 | | 24 | culture, Chinese culture. I was humble to say | 10:23:05 | | 25 | I don't have professional knowledge. | 10:23:09 | | | | Page 49 |

1 Q. I understand. 10:23:11

2 A. English is not my mother language. I do not 10:23:12

3 mean that I know nothing about financial, if that is 10:23:15

4 the answer you are looking for, sir. 10:23:20

280

5 Q. All I'm looking for is the truth, first of 10:23:22 6 all. 10:23:25 7 Second, I am not asking you to be humble or 10:23:26

8 proud. I'm just asking you to be honest. 10:23:31 9 A. I am. 10:23:34 10 Q. So similarly, I mean, you were under oath 10:23:34 11 when you testified in court, and I think the 10:23:38 12 expectation would have been that you be honest then 10:23:40 13 as well. 10:23:43 14 A. I was. 10:23:44 15 Q. Okay. So I wasn't there that day. All 10:23:45 16 I have is the transcript. And I'm just being -- I'm 10:23:48 17 being honest with you. That is the reason for my 10:23:52

18 question is because I saw that you said that you 10:23:54 19 don't have any financial professional knowledge. 10:23:58 20 So I suppose the question is if you were 10:24:01

just being humble back in 2019, do you mean to say 10:24:05 that you, in fact, did have financial professional 10:24:10 knowledge when you were appointed to all of those 10:24:14 positions at Golden Spring? Is that what you were 10:24:16 trying to say? 10:24:20

| 1 | A. I am not trying to say anything. My | 10:24:20 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | testimony -- back to 2019, that was my testimony, and | 10:24:23 | | 3 | that -- I stay with that. That is a -- true and | 10:24:27 | | 4 | accurate information, sir. And regarding right now | 10:24:31 | | 5 | what are you looking for after three years, I do not | 10:24:34 | | 6 | understand, and I will do my best to help you. | 10:24:38 | | 7 | Q. Okay. Same question about the next sentence | 10:24:40 | | 8 | on the transcript, which says: | 10:24:44 | | 9 | "I do not have American real estate | 10:24:46 | | 10 | professional knowledge." | 10:24:49 | | 11 | Was that true when you said those words in | 10:24:50 | | 12 | 2019? | 10:24:53 | | 13 | A. It is correct. I am not real -- realtor. | 10:24:55 | | 14 | I am not a licensed realtor; right? That was | 10:25:00 | | 15 | correct. | 10:25:03 | | 16 | Q. Okay. So it is correct that at least as of | 10:25:06 | | 17 | May of 2019 you did not have American real estate | 10:25:09 | | 18 | professional knowledge -- | 10:25:14 | | 19 | A. Correct. | 10:25:15 | | 20 | Q. -- correct? | 10:25:16 | | 21 | A. I don't have a license at all by then. | 10:25:16 | | 22 | Q. Next question. | 10:25:19 | | 23 | Is it true that in your capacity as | 10:25:29 | | 24 | president of Golden Spring (New York) Limited you | 10:25:36 | | 25 | serve as an administrator for the interests of | 10:25:42 | | | | Page 51 |

| 1 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok and his family? | 10:25:46 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. Calls for a legal | 10:25:51 | | 3 | conclusion. | 10:25:52 | | 4 | You can answer that. | 10:25:53 | | 5 | THE WITNESS: I need interpreter help me. | 10:25:56 | | 6 | I don't understand your question, sir. | 10:25:59 | | 7 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. But before we -- before | 10:26:01 | | 8 | we go there -- actually, let -- let's -- Sunny, if | 10:26:03 | | 9 | you don't mind, I will ask the question again. And | 10:26:09 | | 10 | I'm -- I'm sorry to refer to you by your first name. | 10:26:12 | | 11 | That is unprofessional. Sorry. Ms. Johnston. | 10:26:15 | | 12 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 10:26:15 | | 13 | Q. Ms. Wang, the question is in your capacity | 10:26:20 | | 14 | as president of Golden Spring (New York) Limited, | 10:26:23 | | 15 | isn't it true that you serve as an administrator for | 10:26:30 | | 16 | the interests of Mr. Kwok -- Mr. Ho Wan Kwok and his | 10:26:35 | | 17 | family? | 10:26:40 | | 18 | MR. ROSEN: I'll repeat the objection. | 10:26:43 | | 19 | You can answer the question. | 10:26:46 | | 20 | MR. HARBACH: (Interprets question.) | 10:27:15 | | 21 | THE CHECK INTERPRETER: The check | 10:27:15 | | 22 | interpreter heard Mr. Kwok and Mr. Ho Wan Kwok and | 10:27:16 | | 23 | his family. | 10:27:20 | | 24 | MR. HARBACH: That is correct. | 10:27:21 | | 25 | That was the question. | 10:27:22 | | | | Page 52 |

1 THE CHECK INTERPRETER: Yes. 10:27:24

2 But not Wengui Guo; right? 10:27:25

3 MR. HARBACH: That -- 10:27:29

4 THE INTERPRETER: That is his Mandarin name, 10:27:29

5 Ho Wan Kwok. The Mandarin is Wengui Guo. 10:27:36

6 THE CHECK INTERPRETER: But, I mean, the 10:27:42

7 counsel said Ho Wan Kwok. 10:27:43 8 MR. HARBACH: Yes. 10:27:45 9 The reason that counsel said Ho Wan Kwok was 10:27:45 10 because the witness said that is how she knows the 10:27:48

11 debtor. I asked her earlier whether she knew the 10:27:51 12 name Wengui Guo, and she said she knows him as 10:27:56 13 Ho Wan Kwok; so that is why I used that name. 10:28:01 14 THE INTERPRETER: Yes. 10:28:03 15 MR. HARBACH: But we can clear this -- we 10:28:05 16 can clear this up now, Ms. Wilkinson. 10:28:06 17 THE CHECK INTERPRETER: Okay. 10:28:08 18 BY MR. HARBACH: 10:28:08 19 Q. Ms. Wang, what name would you prefer to use 10:28:08 20 going forward to refer to Mr. Qiang Guo's father? 10:28:12 21 A. Mr. Ho Wan Kwok. 10:28:18 22 Q. Very good. 10:28:19 23 A. That is the debtor; right? That is the 10:28:20 24 debtor's name. 10:28:21 25 Am I right. 10:28:23

1 Q. You are right. That is correct. 10:28:24

2 A. Let's go with it, yeah. Uh-huh. 10:28:25

3 Q. So would you like Ms. Johnston to repeat the 10:28:27

4 question in Chinese for you, ma'am? 10:28:30

| 5 | A. Yes, please. | 10:28:32 | |----|-----------------------------------------------|----------| | 6 | Q. Okay. | 10:28:34 | | 7 | THE INTERPRETER: Mr. Harbach, can you just | 10:28:37 | | 8 | repeat the question one more time, please. | 10:28:39 | | 9 | MR. HARBACH: Sure. No problem. | 10:28:42 | | 10 | THE INTERPRETER: Just so you know, the | 10:28:46 |

interpreter does not speak Cantonese; so I will just 10:28:48 re- -- I will just say the name the way you pronounce 10:28:53 it instead of saying the Mandarin name. 10:28:54 14 MR. HARBACH: Okay. That -- that's fine. 10:28:57

15 And, obviously, I speak neither; so I will rely on 10:28:59 16 you all. 10:29:02 17 BY MR. HARBACH: 10:29:03 18 Q. So here is the question. 10:29:03 19 In your capacity as president of 10:29:05 20 Golden Spring (New York) Limited, isn't it true that 10:29:07 21 you serve as an administrator for the interests of 10:29:12 22 Mr. Ho Wan Kwok and his family? 10:29:18 23 MR. ROSEN: Objection. 10:29:23 24 You may answer. 10:29:25 25 THE WITNESS: (Through Interpreter) Well, 10:29:59

| 1 | first of all, I don't know what you meant by the word | 10:30:07 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | administrator. | 10:30:10 | | 3 | And, second, I worked for Mr. Qiang Guo. | 10:30:11 | | 4 | MR.

Yes. | 10:32:17 | | 4 | Q. Okay. Now let's go back to page one. | 10:32:18 | | 5 | A. (Witness complies.) | 10:32:21 | | 6 | Q.

23 Do you see that there? 10:33:04

24 A. Yes. 10:33:05

25 Q. Okay. Now go back to page one for me. 10:33:08

| 1 | A. (Witness complies.) | 10:33:11 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Tell me when you are there. | 10:33:14 | | 3 | A. Yes. | 10:33:17 | | 4 | Q. The very first sentence of your dep- -- | 10:33:18 | | 5 | excuse me. Of this affidavit says: | 10:33:23 | | 6 | "I am the president of Golden Spring | 10:33:26 | | 7 | (New York) Limited, and in that capacity | 10:33:28 | | 8 | serve as an administrator for the interests | 10:33:32 | | 9 | of the defendant sued herein as Kwok Ho | 10:33:35 | | 10 | Wan" -- | 10:33:35 | | 11 | And then there follows several akas. | 10:33:42 | | 12 | -- "and his family," period. | 10:33:46 | | 13 | Do you see that sentence? | 10:33:48 | | 14 | A. Yes. | 10:33:52 | | 15 | Q. So I'll ask you to tell me what being an | 10:33:52 | | 16 | administrator of the interests of Mr. Kwok Ho Wan and | 10:34:00 | | 17 | his family means, because they are your words. | 10:34:12 | | 18 | A. This is drafted by the attorneys also; so in | 10:34:16 | | 19 | my understanding, an administrator, these words -- | 10:34:20 | | 20 | as, again, I am not native speaker at all -- means | 10:34:25 | | 21 | that I work for Golden Spring and take instruction | 10:34:30 | | 22 | from owner of Golden Spring to work out the | 10:34:32 | | 23 | assignment and task Golden Spring request me to do is | 10:34:39 | | 24 | what I mean in here. | 10:34:43 | | 25 | Q. How many affidavits do you think you have | 10:34:44 | | | | Page 58 |

| 1 | signed in your lifetime? | 10:34:48 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. I don't recall. | 10:34:50 | | 3 | Q. More than five? | 10:34:52 | | 4 | A. I don't recall. | 10:34:55 | | 5 | Q. More than twenty-five? | 10:34:57 | | 6 | A. I don't recall. | 10:34:59 | | 7 | Q. Maybe more than fifty? | 10:35:01 | | 8 | A. I don't recall. | 10:35:04 | | 9 | Q. Do you know what -- what an affidavit is? | 10:35:08 | | 10 | A. What do you mean, do I know what affidavit | 10:35:12 | | 11 | is? | 10:35:17 | | 12 | Q. Do you know what an affidavit is? Do you | 10:35:18 | | 13 | know what the word means? | 10:35:20 | | 14 | A. I don't understand your question. | 10:35:23 | | 15 | MR. HARBACH: Ms. Johnston, can you please | 10:35:30 | | 16 | translate. | 10:35:33 | | 17 | Do you know what an affidavit is? | 10:35:34 | | 18 | THE INTERPRETER: (Interprets question.) | 10:35:47 | | 19 | THE WITNESS: So I don't understand your | 10:35:47 | | 20 | question. All I have done in that I work for | 10:35:58 | | 21 | Golden Spring (New York) Limited. I am not native | 10:36:01 | | 22 | speaker. I am definitely not legal person either; | 10:36:01 | | 23 | right? | 10:36:01 | | 24 | So like, I just to be here, and then what | 10:36:06 | | 25 | being before there to tell the legal all the truthful | 10:36:07 | | | | Page 59 |

| 1 | information as best of my capacity and as best of my | 10:36:11 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | knowledge -- | 10:36:15 | | 3 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 10:36:16 | | 4 | Q. Okay. | 10:36:16 | | 5 | A. -- is what I can say. | 10:36:16 | | 6 | Q. Okay. | 10:36:18 | | 7 | A. I don't know what you are looking for. | 10:36:18 | | 8 | I mean, if you are looking for words in the | 10:36:20 | | 9 | dictionary, I don't know what you are looking for. | 10:36:22 | | 10 | Q. I'm asking you if you know what an affidavit | 10:36:24 | | 11 | is. | 10:36:27 | | 12 | A. Affidavit is a legal paperwork. | 10:36:28 | | 13 | Q. Okay. And do you understand that an | 10:36:30 | | 14 | affidavit is a piece of legal paperwork where | 10:36:34 | | 15 | a person provides testimony that is sworn under oath? | 10:36:38 | | 16 | A. Yes. | 10:36:46 | | 17 | Q. Okay. And you told me a moment ago you -- | 10:36:47 | | 18 | actually, I want to be fair. | 10:36:51 | | 19 | You don't -- you don't know how many | 10:36:54 | | 20 | affidavits you may have done in the past; is that | 10:36:56 | | 21 | correct? | 10:37:01 | | 22 | A. I don't recall. Like, why should I recall | 10:37:02 | | 23 | how many of them? I mean -- | 10:37:08 | | 24 | Q. I'm not -- I'm not suggesting -- | 10:37:10 | | 25 | A. I don't work in a law firm; right? | 10:37:12 | | | | Page 60 |

1 Q. I'm not -- 10:37:14

2 A. So why should I recall? 10:37:14

3 Q. I'm not suggesting whether you should or you 10:37:16

4 shouldn't. All I'm asking is whether you know how 10:37:19

5 many affidavits you have prepared in your life. 10:37:23

280

| 6 | And I understood your answer to be that you | 10:37:26 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 7 | do not know; is that right? | 10:37:29 | | 8 | A. Sir, now you are asking in my life. I don't | 10:37:31 | | 9 | recall. That is my answer. | 10:37:36 | | 10 | Q. Okay. That is fine. That is all I'm | 10:37:38 | | 11 | asking. | 10:37:41 |

12 You have told me that you understand an 10:37:43 affidavit to be a legal document where a person 10:37:46 provides testimony that is sworn under oath; is that 10:37:51 right? 10:37:55 16 A. The sentence which you read me through, this 10:37:58 was I signed back to 2018. And then now as 10:38:01 April 2020 [sic] of course I couldn't remember that, 10:38:08 like, four years ago almost. 10:38:15 20 Q. But -- 10:38:17 21 A. But I do know that that is a legal 10:38:17 paperwork. I gave all my truthful and honest 10:38:19 information in that paperwork. This I am testifying 10:38:22 right now. 10:38:25 25 Q. Okay. And so when you signed this affidavit 10:38:26

| 1 | in May of 2018, it was truthful when you signed it; | 10:38:29 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | is that correct? | 10:38:39 | | 3 | A. When I signed and I gave all my truthful | 10:38:41 | | 4 | information. | 10:38:47 | | 5 | Q. Was this -- this affidavit that is Exhibit 4 | 10:38:49 | | 6 | that we're looking at, was it true when you signed it | 10:38:53 | | 7 | and swore to it? | 10:38:58 | | 8 | A. I signed affidavit back to 2018 of this | 10:39:03 | | 9 | one. That is my best and truthful knowledge and | 10:39:07 | | 10 | information I gave. | 10:39:12 | | 11 | Q. Is that a "yes"? | 10:39:14 | | 12 | A. I answered your question, sir, already. | 10:39:17 | | 13 | Q. Well, I'm going to ask it one more time. | 10:39:20 | | 14 | I think you may have, but I want to ask it one more | 10:39:24 | | 15 | time just to make sure we are clear. | 10:39:28 | | 16 | Was this affidavit -- that is, Exhibit 4 -- | 10:39:30 | | 17 | true at the time that you signed it? | 10:39:32 | | 18 | A. What do you mean, at the time when I signed | 10:39:37 | | 19 | it? I mean, I signed it as true back in 2018. | 10:39:46 | | 20 | Q. Right. | 10:39:51 | | 21 | And -- and here's the -- here's the problem. | 10:39:51 | | 22 | Just a few minutes ago, when I asked you about the | 10:39:55 | | 23 | first sentence of Exhibit 4, you said something about | 10:39:59 | | 24 | this document being prepared by lawyers and that | 10:40:02 | | 25 | English isn't your first language and that -- and so | 10:40:06 | | | | |

| 1 | that is why I'm asking these questions so that I can | 10:40:12 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | understand whether what is written on the page here | 10:40:15 | | 3 | is your truthful testimony or not. | 10:40:19 | | 4 | A. So | 10:40:27 | | 5 | Q. All I can do is ask you -- let me finish my | 10:40:29 | | 6 | question. | 10:40:33 | | 7 | I don't know what is in your brain. All | 10:40:33 | | 8 | I can do is ask questions. You have told me that you | 10:40:36 | | 9 | signed this document. You have told me that you | 10:40:39 | | 10 | understand it is an affidavit. You have told me what | 10:40:41 | | 11 | you understand an affidavit to be. | 10:40:45 | | 12 | And so now all I'm asking you is whether | 10:40:50 | | 13 | this particular affidavit was true when you signed | 10:40:53 | | 14 | it. That is a yes, no, I don't know, or I don't | 10:40:59 | | 15 | remember question. | 10:41:06 | | 16 | A. This is several questions, sir. I cannot | 10:41:11 | | 17 | only answer one yes or one no. | 10:41:14 | | 18 | Q. Sure you can. It is a single question. The | 10:41:17 | | 19 | answer can be either yes, it could be no, it could be | 10:41:21 | | 20 | I don't know, or it could be I don't remember. | 10:41:25 | | 21 | A. The affidavit -- | 10:41:32 | | 22 | Q. Do you need me to ask the question one more | 10:41:33 | | 23 | time? | 10:41:36 | | 24 | A. The affidavit, which I signed back to 2018, | 10:41:36 | | 25 | was drafted by attorney, yes. My language -- English | 10:41:39 | | | | |

| 1 | is not my native language, yes. I signed affidavit | 10:41:45 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | back to 2018. That is a truthful information as best | 10:41:50 | | 3 | of my knowledge. By then, when I signed my name in | 10:41:53 | | 4 | there, yes. | 10:41:57 | | 5 | I'm testifying right now to explain and let | 10:41:58 | | 6 | you know all of those yes and no, that is my truthful | 10:42:02 | | 7 | testimony by now, yes. This is all my yes and no | 10:42:06 | | 8 | answer, sir. | 10:42:10 | | 9 | Q. At the time that you signed Exhibit 4, did | 10:42:11 | | 10 | you understand it? | 10:42:14 | | 11 | A. Understand what? | 10:42:18 | | 12 | Q. Did you understand what you were signing? | 10:42:19 | | 13 | A. The affidavit. | 10:42:22 | | 14 | Q. Were you able to read it and understand what | 10:42:24 | | 15 | it said? | 10:42:27 | | 16 | A. I don't understand your question. What -- | 10:42:31 | | 17 | you are asking my recollection back to 2018? | 10:42:35 | | 18 | Q. You -- | 10:42:38 | | 19 | A. I don't recall. | 10:42:38 | | 20 | Q. You don't recall whether when you signed | 10:42:38 | | 21 | this affidavit you understood what it said? | 10:42:41 | | 22 | A. It is four years ago, sir. I don't recall | 10:42:46 | | 23 | the details by then. | 10:42:49 | | 24 | Q. Do you make a habit of signing affidavits | 10:42:51 | | 25 | under oath when you don't understand what they say -- | 10:42:55 | | | | Page 64 |

with- -- withdrawn. 10:42:58 2 MR. HARBACH: Scott, you don't have to 10:43:01 object. 10:43:02 BY MR. HARBACH: 10:43:03 5 Q. Do you recall whether this affidavit was 10:43:04 translated for you? 10:43:06 7 A. I don't recall. Again, like, it is three or 10:43:07 four years ago. I don't recall. 10:43:11 9 Q. When was the last affidavit that you 10:43:16 executed, approximately? 10:43:26 11 MR. ROSEN: Objection. 10:43:28 12 We -- we have really got to move on, David. 10:43:30 This is -- 10:43:34 14 MR. HARBACH: Listen, now, Scott. This is 10:43:35 nothing personal, obviously. I would love nothing 10:43:38 more than to move on, but I'm just trying to get the 10:43:40 witness to adopt what she swore to three years ago. 10:43:44 18 MR. ROSEN: All right. How is that relevant 10:43:51 to the 30(b)(6) deposition topics today? 10:43:53 20 MR. HARBACH: Oh, because it is squarely 10:43:56 within what her job is as president of Golden Spring 10:43:58 (New York). That is 100 percent within the scope of 10:44:02 what we're talking about here. She has told us about 10:44:05 all the titles that she has, and I'm exploring what 10:44:09 she does. And she has filed an affidavit saying that 10:44:13

| 1 | her job is what we have read several times, and now | 10:44:16 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | she doesn't want to answer that. She doesn't want to | 10:44:20 | | 3 | own that; so I'm going to stop arguing, but it is | 10:44:23 | | 4 | plainly relevant. Plainly relevant. | 10:44:27 | | 5 | You can instruct her not to answer. You can | 10:44:30 | | 6 | instruct her not to answer any question that mentions | 10:44:33 | | 7 | Ho Wan Kwok if you want. But I'm going to stay right | 10:44:36 | | 8 | here until I understand what was in this witness' | 10:44:39 | | 9 | head when she signed this affidavit. | 10:44:42 | | 10 | MR. ROSEN: Well, I think you have -- you | 10:44:44 | | 11 | have pretty much established on the record that what | 10:44:46 | | 12 | you are going for has nothing to do with this DIP | 10:44:50 | | 13 | loan. | 10:44:52 | | 14 | So I am going to instruct the witness not to | 10:44:52 | | 15 | answer this question. | 10:44:55 | | 16 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. I think we should take | 10:44:56 | | 17 | a little break because, among other things, I need to | 10:44:59 | | 18 | go to the restroom. | 10:45:01 | | 19 | So can we please, Mr. Videographer, take ten | 10:45:03 | | 20 | minutes. | 10:45:06 | | 21 | THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We are going off the | 10:45:06 | | 22 | record. | 10:45:08 | | 23 | The time is 10:45. | 10:45:08 | | 24 | (Short recess taken.) | 10:45:10 | | 25 | THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We are back on the | 11:00:21 | | | | Page 66 |

record. 11:00:23 2 The time is 11:00 o'clock. 11:00:23 BY MR. HARBACH: 11:00:31 4 Q. Ms. Wang, before the break I was asking you 11:00:35 about Exhibit 4, which is an affidavit that you 11:00:37 signed in May of 2018. 11:00:43 7 MR. HARBACH: Scott, I confess, I do not 11:00:48 recall whether where we left off was with your 11:00:51 instructing the witness not to answer my question -- 11:00:54 any more questions about this. And let me -- and let 11:01:00 me just -- let me say before you answer that if you 11:01:04 let me answer one or two -- ask one or two more, I'll 11:01:07 move on. 11:01:13 14 MR. ROSEN: I appreciate that, and yeah. 11:01:14 Please -- I'll instruct the witness at this time to 11:01:18 answer the question. 11:01:22 17 MR. HARBACH: Okay. Thank you. 11:01:24 BY MR. HARBACH: 11:01:25 19 Q. So Ms. Wang, do you still have Exhibit 4 in 11:01:25 front of you? 11:01:30 21 A. Exhibit 4? Yes, sir. Yes. 11:01:32 22 Q. Okay. So again, reminding you that this 11:01:38 affidavit was signed in May 2018. 11:01:41 24 My question for you is is it true that in 11:01:45 May of 2018, as president of Golden Spring 11:01:51 Page 67

| 1 | (New York), you served as an administrator for the | 11:01:57 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | interests of Mr. Kwok Ho Wan and his family? | 11:02:01 | | 3 | A. Yes. | 11:02:07 | | 4 | As the language read in my affidavit, yes. | 11:02:13 | | 5 | Q. Do you recall what you meant by an | 11:02:16 | | 6 | administrator for the interests of Mr. Kwok Ho Wan | 11:02:45 | | 7 | and his family? | 11:02:49 | | 8 | A. The language in this affidavit was drafted | 11:02:51 | | 9 | by attorney, and, in my understanding, | 11:02:57 | | 10 | Golden Spring -- as per Mr. Qiang Guo's instruction, | 11:03:03 | | 11 | Golden Spring, like, pay Mr. Ho Wan Kwok, like, his | 11:03:10 | | 12 | lifestyle and then et cetera; so that was my | 11:03:17 | | 13 | understanding. | 11:03:21 | | 14 | Q. That was your understanding of your role? | 11:03:22 | | 15 | Because that was what my question was about. | 11:03:27 | | 16 | A. My role as president of Golden Spring or | 11:03:31 | | 17 | administrator? | 11:03:35 | | 18 | Q. Well, you have stated that as president, you | 11:03:36 | | 19 | served as an administrator of Mr. Kwok | 11:03:42 | | 20 | Ho Wan's interests. | 11:03:46 | | 21 | And so I'm asking about whether what you | 11:03:50 | | 22 | just described was your role in May of 2018. | 11:03:54 | | 23 | A. I am the president of Golden Spring. I took | 11:04:01 | | 24 | instruction from Mr. Qiang Guo and served as an | 11:04:05 | | 25 | administrator -- administrator for his father. | 11:04:09 | | | | Page 68 |

| 1 | Q. And was that true from the moment you began | 11:04:13 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | working at Golden Spring? | 11:04:17 | | 3 | A. Oh, sir, the moment -- again, you are asking | 11:04:21 | | 4 | the time; right? | 11:04:25 | | 5 | Q. Well, I'm asking whether what you just | 11:04:27 | | 6 | described as your duties as an administrator, was | 11:04:31 | | 7 | that true from the beginning, from when you first | 11:04:38 | | 8 | started working at Golden Spring (New York)? | 11:04:40 | | 9 | A. When I started working for Golden Spring | 11:04:42 | | 10 | (New York), I did take instruction from Mr. Qiang Guo | 11:04:52 | | 11 | to -- to serve, as I said, as administrator for his | 11:04:54 | | 12 | father. | 11:05:00 | | 13 | Q. And so that would have been in the spring of | 11:05:00 | | 14 | 2018, when you started working for Golden Spring | 11:05:04 | | 15 | (New York); is that right? | 11:05:07 | | 16 | A. Correct, sir. | 11:05:10 | | 17 | Q. And how frequently did you communicate with | 11:05:11 | | 18 | Mr. Qiang Guo during that time, say the spring of | 11:05:16 | | 19 | 2018? | 11:05:22 | | 20 | A. I don't recall, but I do believe we -- we | 11:05:24 | | 21 | talk as needed. | 11:05:29 | | 22 | Q. Okay. Once a day? | 11:05:30 | | 23 | A. I don't recall. | 11:05:35 | | 24 | Q. Okay. Do you recall whether you talked to | 11:05:36 | | 25 | him once a week? | 11:05:39 | | | | Page 69 |

| 1 | A. | I don't recall. As I said, we just talk as | 11:05:43 | |----|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | needed. | If, you know, we need to talk, we just talk. | 11:05:47 | | 3 | Q. | Okay. | 11:05:51 | | 4 | A. | I don't, like, calculate, yeah. | 11:05:52 | | 5 | Q. | No. I understand. | 11:05:54 | | 6 | | And I don't mean to be asking for a precise | 11:05:56 | | 7 | calculation. | I'm just trying to get a sense of how | 11:05:58 | | 8 | | often you talked to him. | 11:06:02 | | 9 | | When you talked to him, meaning | 11:06:03 | | 10 | | Mr. Qiang Guo, did you speak by phone? in person? | 11:06:06 | | 11 | a mix? | | 11:06:12 | | 12 | A. | Both. | 11:06:15 | | 13 | Q. | Okay. Hang on one second, please. Sorry | 11:06:22 | | 14 | | for the holdup. | 11:06:58 | | 15 | | How often did you communicate with | 11:07:01 | | 16 | | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok in the spring of 2018 to fulfill your | 11:07:07 | | 17 | | role, as you have described it? | 11:07:13 | | 18 | A. | I don't recall. | 11:07:17 | | 19 | Q. | Did you ever communicate with him? | 11:07:18 | | 20 | A. | Yes. | 11:07:23 | | 21 | | We did communicate. | 11:07:26 | | 22 | Q. | And was that in person? | 11:07:27 | | 23 | A. | Yes. | 11:07:31 | | 24 | | In person. | 11:07:33 | | 25 | Q. | Okay. And how frequently? | 11:07:33 | | | | | Page 70 |

1 A. I don't recall. 11:07:37

| 2 | Q. | Okay. More than one a week? | 11:07:40 | |---|----|----------------------------------------|----------| | 3 | A. | Sir, you are asking back to 2018, when | 11:07:45 | | | | | |

| 4 | I start work for Golden Spring? | 11:07:51 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 5 | Q. Yes. Yes, ma'am. I am. | 11:07:54 | | 6 | A. Oh, I don't recall. | 11:07:57 | | 7 | Q. Okay. Let's see. | 11:07:58 | | 8 | MR. HARBACH: Oh, thank you. | 11:08:26 | | 9 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 11:08:26 | | 10 | Q. My colleague reminds me, I meant to ask this | 11:08:28 | | 11 | question. | 11:08:32 | | 12 | When you started working at Golden Spring | 11:08:32 | | 13 | (New York) in New York City, where did you reside? | 11:08:37 | | 14 | I don't mean the -- the exact address, but where did | 11:08:41 | | 15 | you reside? | 11:08:45 | | 16 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. There are security | 11:08:47 | | 17 | reasons that Ms. Wang does not want to give | 11:08:51 | | 18 | a residence address. | 11:08:54 | | 19 | Are you talking about a city or -- something | 11:08:57 | | 20 | as general as a city or are you talking address? | 11:09:00 | | 21 | MR. HARBACH: I'll -- I'll try and ask the | 11:09:05 | | 22 | question in a way that avoids those concerns, Scott. | 11:09:07 | | 23 | MR. ROSEN: Thank you. | 11:09:11 | | 24 | BY MR.

Did you reside -- again, I'm not talking 11:09:34 6 about now. 11:09:41 7 I'm talking about in 2018, when you started 11:09:41 8 working at Golden Spring (New York), did you reside 11:09:46 9 in the same dwelling as Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? 11:09:51 10 A. Sir, what do you mean by dwelling? Do you 11:10:00 11 mean -- 11:10:03 12 Q. A house. 11:10:03 13 A. Is it -- 11:10:04 14 Q. Is it a house? an apartment? It doesn't 11:10:05 15 matter. 11:10:09 16 Did you live in the same home as 11:10:09 17 Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? 11:10:12 18 A. No. 11:10:12 19 Q. Have you ever been to the -- withdrawn. 11:10:19 20 Have you ever lived in the eighteenth floor 11:10:22 21 apartment of the Sherry-Netherland? 11:10:29 22 A. I visited there, sir. 11:10:33 23 Q. Fair enough. 11:10:36 24 I'm asking whether you have ever resided 11:10:36 25 there. 11:10:40 Page 72

Have you ever stayed there for more than | 11:10:55 | | 8 | a couple of weeks? | 11:10:58 | | 9 | A. I don't recall. | 11:10:59 | | 10 | Q. Okay. Can we turn now to -- back to | 11:11:00 | | 11 | Exhibit 1. | 11:11:20 | | 12 | A. (Witness complies.) | 11:11:22 | | 13 | Q. Tell me when you have got it up, Ms. Wang. | 11:11:28 | | 14 | A. Yes, I am. | 11:11:35 | | 15 | Q. Okay. The cover page, just to help you | 11:11:36 | | 16 | orient yourself, is dated October 11th, 2018, which | 11:11:44 | | 17 | was the date of this deposition. | 11:11:49 | | 18 | Okay? | 11:11:52 | | 19 | A. Yes. | 11:11:54 | | 20 | Q. All right. And so that is approximately -- | 11:11:54 | | 21 | I don't know -- six months after you started working | 11:12:00 | | 22 | at Golden Spring (New York)? | 11:12:03 | | 23 | A. And -- yes. Kind of. | 11:12:11 | | 24 | Q. You said you started working in the spring | 11:12:13 | | 25 | of 2018; so approximately six months. | 11:12:16 | | | | Page 73 |

| 1 | Is that fair? | 11:12:19 | |----|-----------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. Yes. | 11:12:20 | | 3 | Q. Okay. So let's go to page sixty. | 11:12:21 | | 4 | A. (Witness complies.) | 11:12:32 | | 5 | Q. And, again, looking at the little pages. | 11:12:33 | | 6 | Tell me when you are there. | 11:12:45 | | 7 | A. Yes. | 11:12:50 | | 8 | Q. Okay. The very top of page sixty there is | 11:12:50 | | 9 | a -- the tail end of a question and then a question | 11:12:54 | | 10 | that begins on line two: | 11:12:57 | | 11 | "QUESTION: Do you know Mileson Kwok?" | 11:13:00 | | 12 | Your answer is: | 11:13:04 | | 13 | "ANSWER: Yes." | 11:13:05 | | 14 | The question: | 11:13:06 | | 15 | "QUESTION: Is that Mr. Kwok's son? | 11:13:06 | | 16 | "ANSWER: Yes. | 11:13:09 | | 17 | "QUESTION: Have you ever met him in | 11:13:11 | | 18 | person? | 11:13:12 | | 19 | "ANSWER: Yes. | 11:13:13 | | 20 | "QUESTION: Does he have any role at | 11:13:14 | | 21 | Golden Spring? | 11:13:17 | | 22 | "ANSWER: I don't know. | 11:13:19 | | 23 | "QUESTION: You never interacted with | 11:13:22 | | 24 | him in regard to any Golden Spring business? | 11:13:24 | | 25 | "ANSWER: No." | 11:13:28 | | | | Page 74 |

| 1 | Did I read that correctly? | 11:13:36 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. Yes. | 11:13:38 | | 3 | Q. Can you explain -- well, first of all, is | 11:13:39 | | 4 | that true? | 11:13:46 | | 5 | A. Well -- | 11:13:52 | | 6 | Q. Let's go through them -- let's go through | 11:13:53 | | 7 | them one by one so we can be crystal clear. First | 11:13:57 | | 8 | question: | 11:14:01 | | 9 | "QUESTION: Do you know Mileson Kwong?" | 11:14:01 | | 10 | Was that true in October 11th, 2018, you | 11:14:09 | | 11 | knew Mileson Kwok? Was that true? | 11:14:11 | | 12 | A. I was given a wrong impression back in 2018. | 11:14:13 | | 13 | Like, I was thinking, like, Mileson go with Kwok | 11:14:17 | | 14 | also. The reason why -- | 11:14:22 | | 15 | Q. I am -- | 11:14:22 | | 16 | A. -- I am -- | 11:14:24 | | 17 | Q. -- going to -- | 11:14:24 | | 18 | A. -- testifying -- | 11:14:24 | | 19 | Q. -- interrupt. | 11:14:24 | | 20 | A. -- right now -- | 11:14:25 | | 21 | Q. Yeah. | 11:14:25 | | 22 | A. -- I was corrected by Mr. Qiang Guo. | 11:14:27 | | 23 | He purposely corrected me after -- I forget when. He | 11:14:30 | | 24 | corrected me and said that he always go with | 11:14:33 | | 25 | Mileson Kwok; so the testimony by then back in 2018 | 11:14:37 | | | | Page 75 |

| 1 | was accurate. | 11:14:41 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Okay. | 11:14:42 | | 3 | A. The testimony right now, after I was | 11:14:43 | | 4 | corrected, is accurate also, sir. | 11:14:45 | | 5 | Q. I see. | 11:14:48 | | 6 | And so the -- the correction concerned his | 11:14:49 | | 7 | name; right? | 11:14:51 | | 8 | A. Yes. | 11:14:52 | | 9 | Mr. Qiang Guo's name. | 11:14:53 | | 10 | Q. Okay. | 11:14:55 | | 11 | A. That is reason why I am insisting calling | 11:14:56 | | 12 | him Mr. Qiang Guo; right? | 11:15:00 | | 13 | So that is the accurate -- you know, his | 11:15:00 | | 14 | official name. | 11:15:04 | | 15 | Q. Understood. | 11:15:04 | | 16 | A. That works better for me, yeah. | 11:15:05 | | 17 | MR. HARBACH: And with apologies to the | 11:15:07 | | 18 | reporter for interrupting. I'll try to do better. | 11:15:10 | | 19 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 11:15:13 | | 20 | Q. Next question on the deposition transcript | 11:15:13 | | 21 | is: | 11:15:16 | | 22 | "QUESTION: Is that Mr. Kwok's son? | 11:15:17 | | 23 | "ANSWER: Yes." | 11:15:20 | | 24 | So there is no question whether it is | 11:15:22 | | 25 | Mileson Kwok or Qiang Guo. | 11:15:25 | | | | Page 76 |

| 1 | We are talking about Mr. Kwok Ho Wan's son; | 11:15:27 | |----|-----------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | correct? | 11:15:34 | | 3 | A. Correct. | 11:15:34 | | 4 | Q. And Mr. Ho Wan Kwok has one, and only one, | 11:15:35 | | 5 | son; correct? | 11:15:40 | | 6 | A. Correct. | 11:15:42 | | 7 | Q. Okay. Next question: | 11:15:43 | | 8 | "QUESTION: Have you ever met him" -- | 11:15:47 | | 9 | Meaning who we're calling Qiang Guo. | 11:15:51 | | 10 | -- "in person?" | 11:15:54 | | 11 | Your answer was: | 11:15:56 | | 12 | "ANSWER: Yes." | 11:15:58 | | 13 | Was that true that you had met Qiang Guo in | 11:16:01 | | 14 | person as of October 11th, 2018? | 11:16:05 | | 15 | A. Yes. | 11:16:07 | | 16 | Q. Okay. Next question: | 11:16:07 | | 17 | "QUESTION: Does he, Qiang Guo, have any | 11:16:17 | | 18 | role at Golden Spring?" | 11:16:17 | | 19 | Your answer was you don't know. | 11:16:19 | | 20 | Now, this is six months after you said you | 11:16:22 | | 21 | started at Golden Spring. Months after what you | 11:16:25 | | 22 | claim earlier were conversations with Mr. Qiang Guo | 11:16:31 | | 23 | about your role and duties. | 11:16:35 | | 24 | So why, six months after you started at | 11:16:39 | | 25 | Golden Spring, did you say that you didn't know | 11:16:42 | | | | Page 77 |

| 1 | whether he had any role? | 11:16:46 | |----|-----------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. That was after -- | 11:16:50 | | 3 | Q. Isn't that -- isn't that also true that you | 11:16:52 | | 4 | did not know? | 11:16:55 | | 5 | A. So sir, you finish your question; so can | 11:17:02 | | 6 | I start to answer or you still have more, sir? I'll | 11:17:06 | | 7 | wait until you finish. | 11:17:09 | | 8 | Q. You -- thank you for waiting. | 11:17:11 | | 9 | You can answer if you answer my question. | 11:17:12 | | 10 | The question is is it true that as of | 11:17:15 | | 11 | October 11th, 2018, you did not know whether | 11:17:19 | | 12 | Qiang Guo had any role at Golden Spring? That is the | 11:17:27 | | 13 | question. | 11:17:30 | | 14 | A. Back to 2018, I don't know by then in my | 11:17:33 | | 15 | understanding the role means employee or employees; | 11:17:38 | | 16 | so by then I did not know whether he was employee or | 11:17:43 | | 17 | not. But I do know he is the boss. He is the owner. | 11:17:47 | | 18 | I do not know whether he is employee or not because | 11:17:51 | | 19 | he was majorly handling the Golden Spring majority of | 11:17:54 | | 20 | work by then. I only work and cooperate with him as | 11:18:00 | | 21 | needed back in 2018. | 11:18:05 | | 22 | Q. In 2018 you didn't say he was the boss? Six | 11:18:07 | | 23 | months after you claimed to have started working with | 11:18:13 | | 24 | him you didn't say he was the boss, did you? | 11:18:16 | | 25 | A. I was not asked whether he was the boss or | 11:18:19 | | | | Page 78 |

| 1 | not. | 11:18:24 | |----|----------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. You were asked whether he had any role? | 11:18:24 | | 3 | A. Any role, in my understanding back to 2018, | 11:18:27 | | 4 | as employee. | 11:18:32 | | 5 | Q. Okay. How about the next question: | 11:18:33 | | 6 | "QUESTION: You never interacted with | 11:18:37 | | 7 | him in regards to any Golden Spring | 11:18:39 | | 8 | business?" | 11:18:43 | | 9 | That was the question you were asked, and | 11:18:46 | | 10 | the answer you gave was: | 11:18:48 | | 11 | "ANSWER: No." | 11:18:51 | | 12 | My question for you right now is is it | 11:18:52 | | 13 | true -- is it true that as of October 11th, 2018, you | 11:18:55 | | 14 | had not interacted with Qiang Guo in regard to any | 11:19:01 | | 15 | Golden Spring business? Is that true or not? | 11:19:08 | | 16 | A. It is a correct answer because back in 2018, | 11:19:13 | | 17 | Mr. Qiang Guo, he was the major person running | 11:19:19 | | 18 | Golden Spring; so I didn't understand -- again, | 11:19:22 | | 19 | English not my native language -- what is interacted | 11:19:29 | | 20 | with. My understanding, by then he was running the | 11:19:33 | | 21 | company. I just work for him as he needed. That is | 11:19:35 | | 22 | my understanding; so -- which is correct. | 11:19:38 | | 23 | Q. Right. | 11:19:41 | | 24 | And you told me five minutes ago that you | 11:19:41 | | 25 | had contact with him -- you didn't remember how | 11:19:44 | | | | |

| 1 | frequently -- and that it was -- I believe you said | 11:19:47 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | a mix of by phone and in person. | 11:19:51 | | 3 | Do you -- does that not count as interaction | 11:19:59 | | 4 | in your mind? | 11:20:02 | | 5 | A. Interact with him in Golden Spring business. | 11:20:03 | | 6 | I mean, him and myself, we're friend also along the | 11:20:06 | | 7 | way for so many years; so when you ask me five | 11:20:11 | | 8 | minutes ago, I mean, we do, like, meet and talk as | 11:20:14 | | 9 | needed. But the question back to 2018, it is asking | 11:20:18 | | 10 | about interacted with him in regard to any | 11:20:23 | | 11 | Golden Spring business, which my testify was true. | 11:20:26 | | 12 | He was in charge of all the Golden Spring business | 11:20:29 | | 13 | back to then. And I know I'm part of Golden Spring, | 11:20:32 | | 14 | but, really, like, he -- he was the person running | 11:20:36 | | 15 | the business. | 11:20:39 | | 16 | Q. Ms. Wang, isn't it true that, in fact, you | 11:20:40 | | 17 | were not interacting with Qiang Guo, certainly not in | 11:20:46 | | 18 | 2018, about Golden Spring business? Isn't that true? | 11:20:51 | | 19 | A. Can you reframe your question again, sir? | 11:20:56 | | 20 | Q. Isn't it true that in 2018 you, in fact, | 11:21:01 | | 21 | were not interacting with Mr. Qiang Guo at all | 11:21:05 | | 22 | related to anything Golden Spring was doing? Isn't | 11:21:10 | | 23 | that the truth? | 11:21:14 | | 24 | A. I don't recall. It is too long time ago, | 11:21:15 | | 25 | and this deposition was conducted -- I don't believe | 11:21:21 | | | | Page 80 |

| 1 | I had an interpreter by then. | 11:21:25 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Isn't it also true that the boss of | 11:21:27 | | 3 | Golden Spring (New York), when you started working | 11:21:30 | | 4 | there, wasn't Qiang Guo; it was Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? | 11:21:32 | | 5 | Isn't that true? | 11:21:37 | | 6 | A. Golden Spring (New York)'s boss is always | 11:21:38 | | 7 | Mr. Qiang Guo. | 11:21:43 | | 8 | Q. Isn't it true that you have been a long-term | 11:21:44 | | 9 | employee of Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? | 11:21:53 | | 10 | A. I have been working for Mr. Qiang Guo, | 11:22:00 | | 11 | himself, and his family. | 11:22:04 | | 12 | Q. Yeah. I'm -- I'm not asking about | 11:22:06 | | 13 | Mr. Qiang Guo. I'll ask the question again. | 11:22:08 | | 14 | Isn't it true that you were a long-term | 11:22:13 | | 15 | employee of Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? | 11:22:18 | | 16 | A. I don't believe so. Mr. Ho Wan Kwok, he | 11:22:23 | | 17 | never pay me or ever pays me or pay me at all. | 11:22:25 | | 18 | Q. Does he tell you -- | 11:22:29 | | 19 | A. So I always work for Mr. Qiang Guo and his | 11:22:31 | | 20 | business. | 11:22:35 | | 21 | Q. Does Mr. Ho Wan Kwok ever tell you what to | 11:22:35 | | 22 | do? | 11:22:37 | | 23 | A. What do you mean, ever tell me what to -- if | 11:22:38 | | 24 | they ask me for help, of course I will offer my help | 11:22:42 | | 25 | to him. | 11:22:45 | | | | Page 81 |

1 Q. Does -- does Mr. Ho Wan Kwok ever give you 11:22:46 2 direction? 11:22:48 3 A. He ask for support and help, which I'm 11:22:49 4 always willing to do that for him. 11:22:55 5 Q. Does he ask -- ever ask you to go get 11:22:57 6 coffee? 11:23:00 7 A. I don't recall. 11:23:01 8 What do you mean? 11:23:03 9 Q. You don't -- you don't recall whether 11:23:05 10 Mr. Ho Wan Kwok has ever asked you to get coffee? 11:23:07 11 A. Sir, I mean, I don't recall. Just, like, 11:23:11 12 why I should recall someone ask me to get coffee; 11:23:15 13 right? 11:23:18 14 Q. Well, I don't -- I don't know. Maybe he has 11:23:19 15 asked you to get coffee hundreds of times. Maybe he 11:23:21 16 never has. All I can do is ask the question. 11:23:25 17 Do you recall -- 11:23:28 18 A. I don't recall that. 11:23:28 19 Q. -- if Mr. Ho Wan Kwok has ever asked you to 11:23:29 20 go get coffee? 11:23:32 21 A. I don't recall. 11:23:34 22 Q. Okay. What about to translate something for 11:23:34 23 him, meaning Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? Have you ever done 11:23:37 24 that for him? 11:23:40 25 A. Yes, I did. 11:23:41 Page 82

| 1 | Q. | How frequently? | 11:23:42 | |----|--------------|------------------------------------------------|----------------| | 2 | A. | I don't recall. | 11:23:44 | | 3 | Q. | More than once? | 11:23:48 | | 4 | A. | Yes. | 11:23:50 | | 5 | | More than once. | 11:23:51 | | 6 | Q. | Okay. When was the last time you translated | 11:23:52 | | 7 | | something for Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? | 11:23:55 | | 8 | A. | I don't recall. | 11:23:57 | | 9 | Q. | Okay. Let's go to -- | 11:24:01 | | 10 | | MR. HARBACH: What is 331? I can't see. | Is 11:24:08 | | 11 | that -- | | 11:24:11 | | 12 | | BY MR. HARBACH: | 11:24:13 | | 13 | Q. | Okay. Let's go to Exhibit 2, please. | 11:24:13 | | 14 | A. | (Witness complies.) | 11:24:15 | | 15 | Q. | And I'll ask you -- do you have Exhibit 2, | 11:24:23 | | 16 | Ms. Wang? | | 11:24:26 | | 17 | A. | Yes. | 11:24:27 | | 18 | Q. | Okay. Can you go, please, to page | 11:24:27 | | 19 | forty-eight. | | 11:24:32 | | 20 | A. | (Witness complies.) | 11:24:34 | | 21 | Q. | Tell me when you are there. | 11:24:46 | | 22 | A. | I'm working on it, sir. Forty-eight. | 11:24:50 | | 23 | Q. | Yes, ma'am. | 11:24:53 | | 24 | A. | Yes. | 11:24:56 | | 25 | | I am here. | 11:24:56 | | | | | Page 83 |

| 1 | Q. Okay. And so there is a long answer on page | 11:24:57 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | forty-eight that goes from line twelve to line | 11:25:02 | | 3 | twenty-three. And I'm not going to read the whole | 11:25:06 | | 4 | thing, but I want to direct your attention to the | 11:25:10 | | 5 | second half of that answer. It says: | 11:25:15 | | 6 | "They are arrested and put in jail by | 11:25:19 | | 7 | Chinese Communist party. And a lot of his | 11:25:22 | | 8 | family member, including his son, his | 11:25:26 | | 9 | daughter, niece, nephew, and his | 11:25:28 | | 10 | sister-in-law, brothers, they were all | 11:25:32 | | 11 | threatened, kidnapped, and put in jail | 11:25:37 | | 12 | without any reason until now, including all | 11:25:40 | | 13 | of his, like, long-term employee, just like | 11:25:43 | | 14 | me." | 11:25:47 | | 15 | So you are talking about Mr. Ho Wan Kwok | 11:25:50 | | 16 | here; correct? | 11:25:56 | | 17 | A. Can I read the entire from sentence twelve | 11:25:58 | | 18 | until twenty-three? | 11:26:04 | | 19 | Q. Absolutely. Take your time, read it to | 11:26:05 | | 20 | yourself, and let me know when you are finished. | 11:26:08 | | 21 | A. Thank you. | 11:26:11 | | 22 | Okay. I finished it, sir. | 11:27:12 | | 23 | Q. Thank you. | 11:27:15 | | 24 | My question is the person who you were | 11:27:15 | | 25 | talking about in this answer, who you refer to as he | 11:27:18 | | | | Page 84 |

| 1 | and his, is Mr. Ho Wan Kwok; correct? | 11:27:22 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. And reading from the language, of course, | 11:27:28 | | 3 | this is by -- by the transcript court recorder. | 11:27:33 | | 4 | Like, it -- reading from the language, it looks like | 11:27:39 | | 5 | yes. But I am referring to -- as I am starting from | 11:27:43 | | 6 | the Guo family, is not just his immediate family, the | 11:27:47 | | 7 | entire Guo family. | 11:27:52 | | 8 | Q. Yes. | 11:27:53 | | 9 | And you said on line two: | 11:27:54 | | 10 | "Mr. Kwok, Miles Kwok, he is number | 11:27:56 | | 11 | seventh son of the whole family." | 11:28:06 | | 12 | You are talking about the debtor, | 11:28:07 | | 13 | Kwok Ho Wan; correct? | 11:28:10 | | 14 | A. Correct. | 11:28:12 | | 15 | Q. Okay. And then you describe all of his | 11:28:12 | | 16 | relatives and the terrible things that happens to | 11:28:16 | | 17 | them. And then you say that the people to whom that | 11:28:21 | | 18 | happened include all of his, meaning | 11:28:29 | | 19 | Mr. Kwok Ho Wan -- all of his long-term employee, | 11:28:34 | | 20 | just like me; so this is the basis for my question | 11:28:41 | | 21 | five minutes ago. | 11:28:49 | | 22 | Isn't it true that you are a long-term | 11:28:51 | | 23 | employee of Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? Is that true or not? | 11:28:55 | | 24 | A. I am a long-term employee for the Guo | 11:29:01 | | 25 | family. I mean, I didn't remember clearly what was | 11:29:09 | | | | Page 85 |

| 1 | recorded in here. Like, obviously, I was never in | 11:29:12 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | jail. I am under threatened, but I was not kidnapped | 11:29:17 | | 3 | and in jail. I think it is still blamed to my broken | 11:29:21 | | 4 | English back there. When I say long-term employee, | 11:29:27 | | 5 | my real -- my meaning as the Guo family. I am | 11:29:30 | | 6 | a long-term employee of Guo family. | 11:29:32 | | 7 | Q. Who? | 11:29:36 | | 8 | A. Mr. Ho Wan Kwok, he never hired me by | 11:29:37 | | 9 | himself. | 11:29:43 | | 10 | Q. Well, who -- who -- first, since you brought | 11:29:43 | | 11 | it up, who was the person who hired you to work for | 11:29:45 | | 12 | the Guo family? | 11:29:49 | | 13 | A. It was a company. It was a company called | 11:29:51 | | 14 | Pangu, P-a-n-g-u. Beijing Pangu. | 11:29:53 | | 15 | Q. Yeah. | 11:29:58 | | 16 | And who was the boss of Beijing Pangu when | 11:29:59 | | 17 | you were hired to work for the Guo family? | 11:30:03 | | 18 | A. You mean boss, like the owner? | 11:30:07 | | 19 | Q. Well, you know, you can ascribe whatever | 11:30:11 | | 20 | meaning you want to boss, Ms. Wang, but you seem to | 11:30:14 | | 21 | understand that Qiang Guo is the boss of | 11:30:17 | | 22 | Golden Spring; so you tell me. | 11:30:19 | | 23 | A. Oh, understand. | 11:30:21 | | 24 | So Beijing Pangu was owned by the Guo | 11:30:22 | | 25 | families. | 11:30:28 | | | | Page 86 |

| 1 | Q. Okay. So who was it -- | 11:30:29 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | MR. HARBACH: And -- and, Scott, I won't | 11:30:32 | | 3 | stay here long, but she brought it up. | 11:30:35 | | 4 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 11:30:37 | | 5 | Q. Ms. Wang, who was it who told you at the | 11:30:38 | | 6 | very beginning -- when you first started working for | 11:30:41 | | 7 | the Guo family, who was it who told you you were | 11:30:44 | | 8 | hired? Which person? | 11:30:47 | | 9 | A. I was advised by the HR department, which | 11:30:49 | | 10 | I couldn't recall. That was back in 20- -- 2008. | 11:30:57 | | 11 | I couldn't recall. But I was informed by the HR | 11:31:02 | | 12 | department I was hired. | 11:31:06 | | 13 | Q. I'm going to apologize for rewinding just | 11:31:07 | | 14 | for a moment back to an earlier topic. I'll try and | 11:31:19 | | 15 | make this clear and efficient. | 11:31:24 | | 16 | In Exhibit 4, which is your affidavit, you | 11:31:32 | | 17 | recall that -- that I asked you several questions | 11:31:46 | | 18 | about what being an administrator for | 11:31:49 | | 19 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok's interests meant? You with me? | 11:31:52 | | 20 | A. Yes. | 11:31:58 | | 21 | Q. Okay. So the reason I'm coming back to this | 11:31:58 | | 22 | is because I neglected to point something else out to | 11:32:02 | | 23 | you. And it is Exhibit 1; so could you turn to | 11:32:07 | | 24 | Exhibit 1, please. | 11:32:15 | | 25 | A. (Witness complies.) | 11:32:17 | | | | Page 87 |

| 1 | So it is not Exhibit 2? You want me to go | 11:32:23 | |----|---------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | back to Exhibit 1, sir; right? | 11:32:26 | | 3 | Q. Yes, ma'am. | 11:32:29 | | 4 | A. (Witness complies.) | 11:32:32 | | 5 | I'm here. | 11:32:33 | | 6 | Q. Okay. Thank you. | 11:32:34 | | 7 | Now, could you please scroll forward on the | 11:32:35 | | 8 | small pages to page forty-six. | 11:32:38 | | 9 | A. (Witness complies.) | 11:32:42 | | 10 | Yes. | 11:32:52 | | 11 | Q. Okay. Very good. | 11:32:53 | | 12 | Now, on this subject of what administrator | 11:32:54 | | 13 | means, if you'll look down at line twenty of page | 11:32:59 | | 14 | forty-six, you'll see a question: | 11:33:06 | | 15 | "QUESTION: I'm asking you whether or | 11:33:11 | | 16 | not you serve as an administrator for | 11:33:12 | | 17 | Mr. Kwok's" -- | 11:33:17 | | 18 | That is Ho Wan Kwok -- for his interests. | 11:33:18 | | 19 | And your answer was: | 11:33:22 | | 20 | "ANSWER: Yes." | 11:33:24 | | 21 | And then you were asked: | 11:33:25 | | 22 | "QUESTION: What does that mean?" | 11:33:27 | | 23 | And you said: | 11:33:30 | | 24 | "ANSWER: Translator," comma, | 11:33:31 | | 25 | "assistant." | 11:33:33 | | | | Page 88 |

| 1 | Do you see that there? | 11:33:36 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. Yes. | 11:33:37 | | 3 | Q. Now, you have already told us that you -- | 11:33:38 | | 4 | you have, in fact, done some translation for | 11:33:41 | | 5 | Mr. Kwok -- Mr. Ho Wan Kwok; right? | 11:33:45 | | 6 | A. I translate for him -- translated for him, | 11:33:48 | | 7 | yes. | 11:33:52 | | 8 | Q. Yes. | 11:33:53 | | 9 | And if -- you also said -- it also says that | 11:33:53 | | 10 | you were his assistant. | 11:34:00 | | 11 | Is that true? | 11:34:01 | | 12 | A. I mean that I -- I testified as an | 11:34:03 | | 13 | administrator for Mr. Ho Wan Kwok and I help him as | 11:34:09 | | 14 | per Mr. Qiang Guo's instruction, including, like, | 11:34:13 | | 15 | help him to translate, make him understand, include, | 11:34:17 | | 16 | like, assist as he needs -- right? -- to support him. | 11:34:22 | | 17 | It does not mean I have -- I have a title called | 11:34:27 | | 18 | assistant; so if that is what you are looking for. | 11:34:30 | | 19 | Q. Well -- | 11:34:32 | | 20 | A. My meaning was I help him to understand as | 11:34:33 | | 21 | to language and support him as he needed as his son's | 11:34:36 | | 22 | instruction. | 11:34:40 | | 23 | Q. Okay. And so what does that mean, other | 11:34:41 | | 24 | than the translation work, when you say that assisted | 11:34:43 | | 25 | means support him as needed? What sorts of things | 11:34:47 | | | | Page 89 |

| 1 | did you do for him back in 2018? | 11:34:51 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. Could -- can you | 11:34:57 | | 3 | clarify, when you use the word you, are you referring | 11:34:59 | | 4 | to Golden Spring, or are you referring to the witness | 11:35:01 | | 5 | personally? | 11:35:04 | | 6 | MR. HARBACH: That's fair, Scott. | 11:35:06 | | 7 | I believe when -- when she was deposed in | 11:35:08 | | 8 | 2018, she was testifying in both her capacity as | 11:35:11 | | 9 | a representative of Golden Spring and in her personal | 11:35:16 | | 10 | capacity; so she is going to have to clarify that for | 11:35:20 | | 11 | me. | 11:35:24 | | 12 | MR. ROSEN: You can answer. | 11:35:26 | | 13 | THE WITNESS: I don't recall. | 11:35:29 | | 14 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 11:35:29 | | 15 | Q. Okay. And in any case, your role as an | 11:35:31 | | 16 | administrator for Mr. Ho Wan Kwok's interests, that, | 11:35:35 | | 17 | according to you, was in your capacity as president | 11:35:42 | | 18 | of Golden Spring (New York) Limited; correct? | 11:35:46 | | 19 | A. I was requested by Mr. Qiang Guo to help | 11:35:52 | | 20 | back in 2018; that is correct. | 11:35:57 | | 21 | Q. Okay. Well, I want to make sure you | 11:36:01 | | 22 | understand my question because since Mr. Rosen | 11:36:04 | | 23 | helpfully raised capacity, I want to make sure we get | 11:36:07 | | 24 | this correct. | 11:36:11 | | 25 | Okay? | 11:36:12 | | | | Page 90 |

I was hired by Golden Spring (New York), and 11:37:23 I take instruction from the owner of Golden Spring 11:37:28 (New York). And I was available to support his 11:37:32 family, including his father.

And -- and what you just described, 11:37:43 according to you, was in your capacity as president 11:37:45 of Golden Spring (New York) Limited; isn't that 11:37:50 right? 11:37:54

I offer my support as | 11:38:02 | | 3 | Mr. Qiang Guo requested me to do. That is my | 11:38:05 | | 4 | understanding about capacity.

Well, I hear you. | 11:38:13 | | 7 | All I'm trying to confirm is that that was | 11:38:15 | | 8 | what you were supposed to do, according to you, as | 11:38:19 | | 9 | president of Golden Spring (New York) Limited was | 11:38:23 | | 10 | translate for Mr. Kwok Ho Wan and cater to his | 11:38:30 | | 11 | personal needs; is that right?

| 1 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 11:39:18 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Well, translator and assistant, again, | 11:39:18 | | 3 | Ms. Wang, those were your words, not mine. I just | 11:39:22 | | 4 | read them to you from a transcript. And so all I'm | 11:39:25 | | 5 | doing is trying to explore what your job as president | 11:39:28 | | 6 | of Golden Spring (New York) Limited was. And you | 11:39:31 | | 7 | have -- you have explained part of that to us, | 11:39:34 | | 8 | I think. And I'm just trying to understand what | 11:39:38 | | 9 | assistant means. | 11:39:45 | | 10 | Besides being a translator, can you tell me | 11:39:53 | | 11 | any more about that? | 11:39:57 | | 12 | A. About what, sir? | 11:39:58 | | 13 | Q. About what you meant when you said you were | 11:39:59 | | 14 | Kwok Ho Wan's assistant. | 11:40:04 | | 15 | A. That is what I -- that is -- that was not, | 11:40:09 | | 16 | I mean, in my language. I mean, still I don't -- | 11:40:13 | | 17 | I don't have this as my native language when I named | 11:40:19 | | 18 | that, which means I offered that support and service. | 11:40:23 | | 19 | I don't have a title called translator or assistant. | 11:40:26 | | 20 | Obviously -- | 11:40:31 | | 21 | Q. Which -- | 11:40:31 | | 22 | A. -- I don't have it, yeah; so I offered that | 11:40:32 | | 23 | support. | 11:40:33 | | 24 | Q. Okay. | 11:40:33 | | 25 | A. This is what I'm meaning, if that is | 11:40:34 | | | | Page 93 |

1 helpful. 11:40:37 2 Q. Got it. 11:40:37 3 Tell me what -- now, what you just meant 11:40:38 4 right now when you said support. 11:40:40 5 Besides translation, what else? 11:40:42 6 A. For example, I am being deposed right now in 11:40:44 7 this bankruptcy. 11:40:51 8 Q. Okay. 11:40:53 9 A. This is as per Mr. Qiang Guo's instruction; 11:40:53 10 right? 11:40:57 11 And so.... 11:40:57 12 Q. Is your testimony -- I don't think this is 11:40:58 13 what you are saying, but I'll ask it anyway because 11:41:00 14 it is a fair inference from your words. 11:41:03 15 Is your testimony today in support of 11:41:06 16 Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? 11:41:08 17 MR. ROSEN: Objection. 11:41:11 18 You can answer that. 11:41:14 19 THE WITNESS: I am testimony -- I am testify 11:41:15 20 today for a bankruptcy like a -- I believe the topic 11:41:19 21 is about DIP loan; right? 11:41:24 22 BY MR. HARBACH: 11:41:27 23 Q. And I would love to get there, but we -- 11:41:27 24 we're -- well, let me just ask one more time. 11:41:29 25 I understand that you are not -- you are 11:41:32 Page 94

1 saying that assistant was not your title. 11:41:36

2 I understand that. I understand that your title was 11:41:39

| 3 | all those titles I recited several times now at | 11:41:42 | |---|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 4 | Golden Spring (New York) Limited. And I also | 11:41:46 | | 5 | understand that according to you, in your capacity as | 11:41:50 | | 6 | president, you served as an administrator of the | 11:41:54 | | 7 | interests of Mr. Ho Wan Kwok and the family. | 11:41:58 | | 8 | You were asked at a deposition about what | 11:42:04 | | | | |

serving as an administrator meant, and you said 11:42:07 translator and assistant. Now, we all know what 11:42:12 a translator is, and that is clear. It is clear that 11:42:18 you performed that service for Mr. Kwok. 11:42:21

13 All I'm trying to understand, Ms. Wang, is 11:42:24 14 what else you did for him, and so far the only thing 11:42:27 15 you have said is testify at this deposition. 11:42:31 16 Is there anything else? 11:42:33 17 A. Yes. 11:42:37 18 MR. ROSEN: Objection. 11:42:38 19 You can answer. 11:42:40 20 THE WITNESS: Yes. 11:42:42 21 BY MR. HARBACH: 11:42:43 22 Q. Okay. What else? 11:42:44 23 A. For example, Mr. Qiang Guo, obviously, he 11:42:47 24 instructed Golden Spring to pay his father's, like, 11:42:54 25 food, clothes, and, like, including this -- they call 11:43:01

| 1 | the lifestyle -- I mean, take care of his father. | 11:43:10 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. When did he give you that instruction? | 11:43:13 | | 3 | A. Oh, I don't recall. I should -- from long | 11:43:16 | | 4 | time ago. I mean, son take care of the father. | 11:43:22 | | 5 | I mean, that is kind of natural to me, so | 11:43:25 | | 6 | Q. Well, I'm not going to quarrel with -- with | 11:43:28 | | 7 | whether it is natural or not. | 11:43:32 | | 8 | My only question is you just said that -- | 11:43:34 | | 9 | that Mr. Qiang Guo gave you the instruction that you | 11:43:39 | | 10 | just recited. | 11:43:43 | | 11 | And my question is when? You said a long | 11:43:45 | | 12 | time ago? How long ago? | 11:43:48 | | 13 | A. I don't recall. | 11:43:51 | | 14 | Q. More than a month ago? | 11:43:52 | | 15 | A. It should be longer than more than a month. | 11:43:57 | | 16 | Q. Okay. Had he given you that instruction by | 11:44:00 | | 17 | the time of your deposition in October of 2018? | 11:44:03 | | 18 | A. I don't recall. | 11:44:08 | | 19 | Q. Had he given you that instruction by the | 11:44:08 | | 20 | time of your trial testimony in May of 2019? | 11:44:12 | | 21 | A. I don't recall. | 11:44:17 | | 22 | Q. Isn't it possible? | 11:44:18 | | 23 | A. I don't recall. | 11:44:23 | | 24 | Q. Well, did he give you that instruction | 11:44:24 | | 25 | sometime in 2020? | 11:44:33 | | | | Page 96 |

| 1 | A. I really don't recall. | 11:44:35 | |----|-----------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. How long has Golden Spring (New York) been | 11:44:40 | | 3 | paying for Mr. Kwok's lifestyle, as you just said? | 11:44:57 | | 4 | A. How long? I believe since I was appointed. | 11:45:03 | | 5 | I mean, I don't recall clearly. I don't recall. But | 11:45:13 | | 6 | a long time. | 11:45:17 | | 7 | Q. Okay. Well, you said two things there. You | 11:45:19 | | 8 | said you believe since you were appointed and you | 11:45:22 | | 9 | have said you don't recall; so I have -- I'm going to | 11:45:25 | | 10 | have to ask you to tell me which it is. | 11:45:29 | | 11 | A. I don't recall. And I shouldn't speculate | 11:45:33 | | 12 | or guess because when I was appointed, as | 11:45:37 | | 13 | I testified, like, a couple of minutes ago, which was | 11:45:42 | | 14 | true, Mr. Qiang Guo was operating and running his | 11:45:46 | | 15 | business; so that is the reason I correct my answer | 11:45:50 | | 16 | to be I don't recall because I was not paying that by | 11:45:53 | | 17 | myself. I don't recall the answers. | 11:45:59 | | 18 | Q. Understood. | 11:46:00 | | 19 | What role did you have -- as president, | 11:46:01 | | 20 | secretary, treasurer, and director of Golden Spring, | 11:46:13 | | 21 | what role did you have in making sure that | 11:46:18 | | 22 | Mr. Kwok's -- Mr. Ho Wan Kwok's lifestyle needs were | 11:46:24 | | 23 | paid for? | 11:46:29 | | 24 | A. Sorry, sir. | 11:46:31 | | 25 | Can you please repeat your question? | 11:46:33 | | | | Page 97 |

What role I ensured with? I mean, sorry. | 11:46:55 | | 7 | That's -- that's the question you were | 11:47:05 | | 8 | asking for; right? | 11:47:06 | | 9 | Q. Yes, ma'am. | 11:47:08 | | 10 | And I'll try one more time in English, and | 11:47:08 | | 11 | then we might need to use Ms. Johnston. | 11:47:11 | | 12 | A. Yes, please. | 11:47:15 | | 13 | I feel the same. | 11:47:16 | | 14 | Q. It's okay. I'll try it one more time. | 11:47:17 | | 15 | You have stated that Mr. Qiang Guo gave you | 11:47:21 | | 16 | instruction to take care of his father, I mean, more | 11:47:25 | | 17 | or less. You don't remember exactly when he gave you | 11:47:35 | | 18 | that instruction, but it was a long time ago. | 11:47:37 | | 19 | Have I got that right so far? | 11:47:41 | | 20 | A. Yes. | 11:47:43 | | 21 | Q. Okay. And I'm asking now, in your role as | 11:47:47 | | 22 | president, and all those other titles, of | 11:48:00 | | 23 | Golden Spring (New York) Limited, what did you do to | 11:48:03 | | 24 | ensure that Mr. Ho Wan Kwok and his lifestyle needs | 11:48:13 | | 25 | were taken care of?

of 280

| 3 | A. For example, like, I communicate with | 11:48:34 | |---|----------------------------------------------------|----------| | 4 | Mr. Qiang Guo about the fund, including this depo. | 11:48:42 | | 5 | He take care of the request and then make sure the | 11:48:52 | | 6 | funds in there to take care of his father. | 11:49:01 | | 7 | Q. We're going to -- we're going to talk about | 11:49:04 | | | | |

8 the fund in just a moment. But you mentioned 11:49:10 9 lifestyle needs earlier, things like clothing, food, 11:49:14 10 transportation -- basics. 11:49:22 11 As president of Golden Spring (New York) 11:49:29 12 Limited, were you involved in paying for or providing 11:49:31 13 those things for Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? 11:49:39 14 A. Yes. 11:49:45 15 Q. Please tell me what you did. 11:49:46 16 A. Like, I will review the bills and verify -- 11:49:52 17 if there is any need to verify -- and process the 11:50:03 18 payment in clothing. 11:50:07 19 Q. What types of bills? 11:50:08 20 A. Like, clothes. Like, food -- grocery food. 11:50:11 21 Q. And -- and are these credit card bills or 11:50:19 22 are they receipts directly from the vendor or what? 11:50:21 23 A. I believe they are both. 11:50:26 24 Q. Okay. 11:50:28 25 A. It is a mixed. 11:50:29

| 1 | Q. Who do you receive those from? | 11:50:31 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. Which bill you were talking about, sir? | 11:50:33 | | 3 | Q. Any of the above. | 11:50:38 | | 4 | A. I mean, some of them, they go through from | 11:50:41 | | 5 | the card. Some of them we received it from the -- | 11:50:45 | | 6 | the vendor. | 11:50:48 | | 7 | Q. Okay. How many of those bills do you | 11:50:50 | | 8 | receive from Mr. Ho Wan Kwok directly? | 11:50:56 | | 9 | A. Directly? I don't recall. | 11:50:59 | | 10 | Q. How do you know whether -- any of the | 11:51:06 | | 11 | expenses that you review to take care of | 11:51:10 | | 12 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok's lifestyle, how do you know or | 11:51:14 | | 13 | verify, as you said, whether any of them are actually | 11:51:19 | | 14 | his? | 11:51:23 | | 15 | A. I mean, Mr. Qiang Guo, he requested | 11:51:25 | | 16 | Golden Spring to take care of both his parents; so | 11:51:32 | | 17 | I mean, only, like, is -- is clarified, like this is | 11:51:38 | | 18 | his father's clothes and then we obviously will | 11:51:45 | | 19 | verify from that. Like -- | 11:51:48 | | 20 | Q. And -- | 11:51:51 | | 21 | A. -- grocery bill, I think it is more, like, | 11:51:52 | | 22 | mixed for the mom and that. | 11:51:55 | | 23 | Q. Okay. And, number one, how do you know that | 11:51:57 | | 24 | it is Mr. Ho Wan Kwok's clothing that is being | 11:52:01 | | 25 | purchased? How do you verify that? | 11:52:05 | | | | Page 100 |

| 1 | A. I verifying with the vendor directly. | 11:52:07 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. And -- huh. | 11:52:13 | | 3 | So you -- you ask a vendor whether the | 11:52:19 | | 4 | clothing was purchased by Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? | 11:52:22 | | 5 | A. Yeah. Because the man's clothes, the | 11:52:27 | | 6 | women's clothes are pretty obvious; right? | 11:52:32 | | 7 | But I do need to verify, yes. | 11:52:35 | | 8 | Q. Yeah. I get the difference between men's | 11:52:38 | | 9 | and women's clothes. | 11:52:42 | | 10 | So is it the case that any -- any -- any | 11:52:44 | | 11 | charge that is obviously for men's clothing you | 11:52:49 | | 12 | assume is Mr. Ho Wan Kwok, and any charge that is for | 11:52:53 | | 13 | women's clothing you assume is for his wife? | 11:52:59 | | 14 | A. I don't assume. I mean, I have to verify | 11:53:04 | | 15 | because I need to report back the funds; right? -- | 11:53:07 | | 16 | the financials to the owner of the company clearly -- | 11:53:15 | | 17 | Q. Absolutely. | 11:53:18 | | 18 | A. -- so I verify. | 11:53:19 | | 19 | Q. Absolutely. | 11:53:20 | | 20 | A. So I verify. | 11:53:21 | | 21 | Q. Let's -- do you -- do you review any credit | 11:53:22 | | 22 | card bills as part of that process? | 11:53:25 | | 23 | A. Sometimes. | 11:53:29 | | 24 | Q. Okay. And when you re- -- when you review | 11:53:30 | | 25 | a credit card bill, let's just pretend there is | 11:53:35 | | | | Page 101 |

| 1 | | a charge on there for -- yeah, I don't know -- a stay | 11:53:39 | |----|-------------|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | in a hotel. | Let's just take that as an example. | 11:53:45 | | 3 | | How do you verify who made the charge? | 11:53:48 | | 4 | A. | Like, a hotel, you mean; right? For an | 11:53:54 | | 5 | example. | | 11:54:02 | | 6 | Q. | I'm taking that as an example. | 11:54:02 | | 7 | A. | If hotel, we obviously, Golden Spring, will | 11:54:05 | | 8 | | call the hotel to verify. | 11:54:09 | | 9 | Q. | To verify that the charge was made? | 11:54:10 | | 10 | A. | Yes. | 11:54:14 | | 11 | | That is part of internal, I mean, audit. | 11:54:14 | | 12 | | It -- it is normal. | 11:54:18 | | 13 | Q. | Okay. So how about figuring out who used | 11:54:19 | | 14 | | the credit card? How would you do that? | 11:54:23 | | 15 | A. | You -- I don't follow your question, sir. | 11:54:26 | | 16 | | Who used credit cards? You mean | 11:54:34 | | 17 | | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok, how he used credit card; right? | 11:54:36 | | 18 | Q. | Sure. | 11:54:40 | | 19 | | That -- that is -- that is a possibility, | 11:54:41 | | 20 | | but I don't know. I'm asking you. | 11:54:43 | | 21 | A. | No. | 11:54:45 | | 22 | | He doesn't use Golden Spring's credit cards. | 11:54:45 | | 23 | Q. | Does Golden Spring have credit cards? | 11:54:48 | | 24 | A. | We have debit card. | 11:54:51 | | 25 | Q. | Okay. Does Golden Spring have any credit | 11:54:53 | | | | | Page 102 |

| 1 | cards? | 11:54:58 | |----|----------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. As of now, no. | 11:55:00 | | 3 | Q. Okay. Does Mr. Kwok have access to the | 11:55:03 | | 4 | Golden Spring debit card? | 11:55:12 | | 5 | A. No. | 11:55:15 | | 6 | Q. What about his wife? Does he [sic] have | 11:55:15 | | 7 | access to the Golden Spring debit card? | 11:55:18 | | 8 | A. I don't recall. | 11:55:21 | | 9 | Q. You are the treasurer of Golden Spring | 11:55:25 | | 10 | (New York) Limited; right? | 11:55:33 | | 11 | A. Yes. | 11:55:36 | | 12 | Q. You -- you really don't know whether | 11:55:38 | | 13 | Ho Wan Kwok's wife has access to the company debit | 11:55:43 | | 14 | card? | 11:55:48 | | 15 | A. She had one before, but I'm not sure whether | 11:55:49 | | 16 | that one is still activated. | 11:55:53 | | 17 | Q. When did she have one? | 11:55:56 | | 18 | A. Long time ago. | 11:55:58 | | 19 | Q. Can you do better than that? | 11:56:00 | | 20 | A. What do you mean, can I do better than that, | 11:56:05 | | 21 | sir? | 11:56:10 | | 22 | Q. You know what I mean. | 11:56:10 | | 23 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. | 11:56:12 | | 24 | Can you please ask the witness directly what | 11:56:15 | | 25 | your question is? | 11:56:17 | | | | Page 103 |

More than once? | 11:58:54 | | 21 | A. Correct. | 11:58:57 | | 22 | Q. More than a hundred times? | 11:58:59 | | 23 | A. I don't recall. | 11:59:02 | | 24 | Q. On the occasions when Mr. Ho Wan Kwok has | 11:59:03 | | 25 | asked you to purchase something for him, what do you | 11:59:15 | | | | Page 105 |

| 1 | do? | 11:59:18 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. As per Mr. Qiang Guo's instruction, I help | 11:59:20 | | 3 | him, yes. I go to buy for him. | 11:59:28 | | 4 | Q. Okay. Have -- has -- have you ever -- | 11:59:32 | | 5 | has -- have you ever refused a request from | 11:59:37 | | 6 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok that you purchase something for him? | 11:59:41 | | 7 | A. Yes. | 11:59:45 | | 8 | Q. When was that? | 11:59:46 | | 9 | A. I don't recall. But I obviously need to | 11:59:48 | | 10 | report it to Mr. Qiang Guo, and if he reject it, | 11:59:56 | | 11 | I will reject. | 12:00:01 | | 12 | Q. Okay. Is your -- so I want to make sure | 12:00:03 | | 13 | I understand the process. | 12:00:06 | | 14 | Is it your testimony that every time | 12:00:07 | | 15 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok asks you to buy something for him | 12:00:10 | | 16 | that you consult his son to get permission? Is that | 12:00:14 | | 17 | correct or not? | 12:00:23 | | 18 | A. Not every time. Like, as you said, for | 12:00:23 | | 19 | example, buy coffee; right? | 12:00:27 | | 20 | Obviously I don't need to consult with | 12:00:28 | | 21 | Mr. Qiang Guo. | 12:00:30 | | 22 | Q. Okay. How do you decide when to consult | 12:00:32 | | 23 | with Mr. Kwok Ho Wan's son about a purchase that | 12:00:35 | | 24 | Mr. Kwok Ho Wan wants you to make? | 12:00:43 | | 25 | A. I don't recall. But that happened. | 12:00:46 | | | | Page 106 |

| 1 | Q. Do you have any -- any thoughts about that? | 12:00:49 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. Like, a legal fee? | 12:00:53 | | 3 | Q. No. | 12:00:57 | | 4 | I'm -- I'm just asking you in general. I'm | 12:00:58 | | 5 | not asking you about legal fees yet, although | 12:01:00 | | 6 | hopefully we will get there. | 12:01:05 | | 7 | I'm asking you about in general if | 12:01:06 | | 8 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok says, hey, Yvette, I would like you | 12:01:08 | | 9 | to buy me X, how do you know whether just to buy X or | 12:01:14 | | 10 | whether to get his son's permission? How do you | 12:01:21 | | 11 | decide? | 12:01:30 | | 12 | A. Well, yearly, like, his food and his coffee | 12:01:30 | | 13 | and then his transportation, those lifestyle were | 12:01:34 | | 14 | already approved by Mr. Qiang Guo; so you already -- | 12:01:40 | | 15 | Golden Spring just to go ahead to buy or purchase and | 12:01:44 | | 16 | then report back to Mr. Qiang Guo; so anything | 12:01:49 | | 17 | except -- besides -- except which words? Except | 12:01:53 | | 18 | that, we obviously, Golden Spring, need to escalate | 12:01:57 | | 19 | to Mr. Qiang Guo to get approval. | 12:02:02 | | 20 | Q. Understood. | 12:02:04 | | 21 | And so if I -- if I have you correctly, | 12:02:05 | | 22 | things like food, clothing, transportation -- those | 12:02:08 | | 23 | things do not require specific approval of | 12:02:15 | | 24 | Mr. Qiang Guo and, in your mind, you can just buy | 12:02:19 | | 25 | them for Mr. Kwok without getting his permission. | 12:02:26 | | | | Page 107 |

| 1 | | Have I got that right? | 12:02:29 | |----|------------|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. | Yeah. That is the instruction was given to | 12:02:31 | | 3 | | Golden Spring; so -- | 12:02:34 | | 4 | Q. | And is this -- | 12:02:35 | | 5 | A. | -- we just go buy. | 12:02:38 | | 6 | Q. | Is that true, no matter how expensive the | 12:02:40 | | 7 | item is? | | 12:02:42 | | 8 | A. | Sir, what -- what is your range about | 12:02:44 | | 9 | expensive? | I mean -- | 12:02:48 | | 10 | Q. | Well, let's take -- let's take | 12:02:50 | | 11 | | transportation as an example. | 12:02:53 | | 12 | | Are you aware that -- that Mr. Kwok | 12:02:54 | | 13 | | frequently travels in a Maybach limousine? | 12:02:57 | | 14 | A. | Am I aware? What do you mean am I aware? | 12:03:05 | | 15 | Q. | Do you know -- do you know what a limousine | 12:03:09 | | 16 | is? | | 12:03:12 | | 17 | A. | Limo, yes. I do know. | 12:03:13 | | 18 | Q. | Okay. And do you know what a Maybach is? | 12:03:15 | | 19 | A. | Yes. | 12:03:18 | | 20 | Q. | Okay. Is it a type of car; right? | 12:03:19 | | 21 | A. | Correct. | 12:03:22 | | 22 | Q. | Isn't it true that Mr. Ho Wan Kwok | 12:03:22 | | 23 | | frequently travels by Maybach? | 12:03:27 | | 24 | A. | Sir -- sir, I know Mileson want his father | 12:03:32 | | 25 | | to be safe and secured; so that is the thing I know. | 12:03:38 | | | | | Page 108 |

| 1 | But I don't know, like, frequency. I use that. | 12:03:43 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Obviously, I am not following his father every day. | 12:03:48 | | 3 | I cannot tell that. | 12:03:50 | | 4 | Q. Does -- does Golden Spring -- I'll ask you | 12:03:51 | | 5 | to accept for purposes of this deposition today -- | 12:03:54 | | 6 | just take my word for it that within the last month | 12:03:59 | | 7 | Mr. Kwok has traveled at least once by Maybach. | 12:04:02 | | 8 | Okay? | 12:04:08 | | 9 | Let's just assume that. | 12:04:08 | | 10 | My question for you is is that Maybach | 12:04:11 | | 11 | transportation that Golden Spring (New York) has paid | 12:04:17 | | 12 | for? | 12:04:19 | | 13 | A. Golden Spring (New York) pays -- pays the -- | 12:04:21 | | 14 | the gasolines and -- yeah. The gasolines. That | 12:04:24 | | 15 | is -- | 12:04:31 | | 16 | Q. Does -- | 12:04:31 | | 17 | A. -- what transportation we are paying. | 12:04:32 | | 18 | Q. Does Golden Spring (New York) own any | 12:04:35 | | 19 | Maybach vehicles? | 12:04:36 | | 20 | A. Oh, I -- I couldn't remember, like, if | 12:04:38 | | 21 | Maybach owned by Golden Spring or not. I mean, | 12:04:47 | | 22 | Golden Spring owns a couple of cars. They all | 12:04:50 | | 23 | ultimately owned by Mr. Qiang Guo. | 12:04:53 | | 24 | Q. Yeah. I get that. | 12:04:56 | | 25 | Tell me about the cars that Golden Spring | 12:04:57 | | | | Page 109 |

| 1 | owns. You just mentioned that there are a couple. | 12:04:59 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | What are they? | 12:05:06 | | 3 | A. I'm not car person; so I have to find out. | 12:05:07 | | 4 | Q. Okay. Are they nice cars? | 12:05:11 | | 5 | A. I cannot tell. | 12:05:14 | | 6 | Q. And you don't know whether one of the cars | 12:05:16 | | 7 | that Golden Spring (New York) owns is a Maybach; is | 12:05:20 | | 8 | that right? | 12:05:24 | | 9 | A. I don't know because this is Mr. Mileson, | 12:05:26 | | 10 | like Mr. Qiang Guo, he purchased directly. | 12:05:31 | | 11 | Q. Yeah. | 12:05:34 | | 12 | A. So I'm not -- | 12:05:35 | | 13 | Q. I -- I -- I understand. | 12:05:36 | | 14 | But I'm asking about Golden Spring | 12:05:37 | | 15 | (New York). | 12:05:40 | | 16 | Okay? | 12:05:40 | | 17 | I'm asking about Golden Spring (New York) | 12:05:41 | | 18 | Limited, of which you are the president, treasurer, | 12:05:44 | | 19 | secretary, and director.

I don't recall. I have to find out. | 12:05:59 | | 24 | Q. Okay. You have also told me that | 12:06:02 | | 25 | Golden Spring (New York) pays for Mr. Ho Wan Kwok's | 12:06:07 | | | | Page 110 |

| 1 | transportation; right? | 12:06:13 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. Correct. | 12:06:15 | | 3 | Q. And that would include transportation by | 12:06:16 | | 4 | car; correct? | 12:06:20 | | 5 | A. Correct. | 12:06:22 | | 6 | Q. That would include arranging for a leased | 12:06:24 | | 7 | vehicle if that is how he wanted to travel; correct? | 12:06:32 | | 8 | A. We pay the gasoline. | 12:06:37 | | 9 | Q. Yeah. I heard that. I'm just trying to | 12:06:42 | | 10 | figure out who owns the vehicle, Ms. Wang. | 12:06:45 | | 11 | Do you know whether Golden Spring (New York) | 12:06:49 | | 12 | Limited has rented or leased a Maybach in order to | 12:06:52 | | 13 | transport Mr. Ho Wan Kwok?

Do you know what she does for | 13:02:17 | | 4 | a living? | 13:02:25 | | 5 | A. When I met with her, she was working | 13:02:26 | | 6 | together with the family also. | 13:02:29 | | 7 | Q. The -- the Guo family? | 13:02:30 | | 8 | A. Yes. | 13:02:34 | | 9 | Q. With whom specifically? | 13:02:35 | | 10 | A. With Mr. Qiang Guo. | 13:02:38 | | 11 | Q. Anyone else? | 13:02:44 | | 12 | A. I believe with -- with Mr. Qiang Guo's | 13:02:45 | | 13 | father together -- | 13:02:49 | | 14 | Q. And -- | 13:02:51 | | 15 | A. -- but I don't have the details. | 13:02:52 | | 16 | Q. Okay. And approximately when was that that | 13:02:54 | | 17 | you met her? | 13:02:57 | | 18 | A. 2015. | 13:02:58 | | 19 | Q. Okay.

In my understanding, it was set up by | 13:03:13 | | 23 | Mr. Qiang Guo. | 13:03:19 | | 24 | Q. Who -- when you say it is your | 13:03:20 | | 25 | understanding, do you know that or did somebody tell | 13:03:23 | | | | Page 113 |

of 280

2 A. This is I learned afterwards. I believe 13:03:27 3 there will be -- there will be law firms supporting 13:03:31

| 4 | by him, but he set up the company. | 13:03:34 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 5 | Q. Why did he set up the company? | 13:03:37 | | 6 | A. I got to know later on -- not, like, when he | 13:03:39 | | 7 | set up the company -- he was trying to do business | 13:03:46 | | 8 | outside of China, like, mainly in the U.S. here. | 13:03:50 | | 9 | Q. What sort of business? | 13:03:54 | | 10 | A. Like, business related to real estate, | 13:03:56 | | 11 | investment -- like a diversified business. | 13:04:02 | | 12 | Q. Okay. Who funded Golden Spring (New York) | 13:04:06 | | 13 | when it was created? | 13:04:11 | | 14 | A. I learned afterwards Mr. Qiang Guo, he | 13:04:12 | | 15 | arranged the fund -- fund the Golden Spring. | 13:04:22 | | 16 | Q. When you say he arranged it, do you mean | 13:04:26 | | 17 | that he, himself, provided the money? | 13:04:29 | | 18 | A. Hmmm. No. | 13:04:34 | | 19 | He arranged via his -- another company. | 13:04:35 | | 20 | I believe it is called Bravo Luck. | 13:04:40 | | 21 | Q. I see. | 13:04:44 | | 22 | And so your understanding is that the money | 13:04:45 | | 23 | that funded Golden Spring (New York) Limited when it | 13:04:48 | | 24 | was created came from Bravo Luck? | 13:04:55 | | 25 | A. That is what I learned. | 13:05:00 | | | | Page 114 |

No. | 13:05:28 | | 10 | I don't recall I did that. | 13:05:30 | | 11 | Q. Do you know how Bravo Luck got the money | 13:05:34 | | 12 | that you say funded Golden Spring (New York) Limited? | 13:05:41 | | 13 | A. I don't know. | 13:05:44 | | 14 | Q. What is -- what was Golden Spring | 13:05:47 | | 15 | (New York)'s business purpose when it was created? | 13:05:54 | | 16 | A. Oh, Golden Spring was created as a family | 13:05:57 | | 17 | office owned by Mr. Qiang Guo; so Mr. Qiang Guo was | 13:06:04 | | 18 | planning, as I said, to develop and expand the | 13:06:09 | | 19 | business in the United States, including, like, as | 13:06:14 | | 20 | I said, investment, real estate, and the business | 13:06:21 | | 21 | he -- he was doing by then. | 13:06:25 | | 22 | Q. Where does Mr. Qiang Guo live today? What | 13:06:28 | | 23 | country? | 13:06:33 | | 24 | A. He lives in UK. | 13:06:38 | | 25 | Q. How long has he lived there? | 13:06:41 | | | | Page 115 |

HARBACH: I'm trying to explore the | 13:06:49 | | 4 | witness' most recent answer about the business | 13:06:52 | | 5 | purpose of Golden Spring. She said that he -- that | 13:06:55 | | 6 | he, Qiang Guo, created it to do X, Y, and Z. And I'm | 13:06:59 | | 7 | trying to inquire about how long he was actually in | 13:07:05 | | 8 | the country after Golden Spring was created. That is | 13:07:09 | | 9 | why I'm asking. | 13:07:12 | | 10 | MR. ROSEN: Just note for the record that we | 13:07:13 | | 11 | are all here in different locations at this | 13:07:14 | | 12 | deposition. And in today's world where your -- where | 13:07:18 | | 13 | your seat is doesn't necessarily mean a whole lot. | 13:07:23 | | 14 | But with that said, I would instruct the | 13:07:26 | | 15 | witness to answer. | 13:07:29 | | 16 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 13:07:30 | | 17 | Q. The -- the question was when -- or how long | 13:07:30 | | 18 | has Mr. Qiang Guo lived in the UK. | 13:07:36 | | 19 | A. For years. I mean -- | 13:07:40 | | 20 | Q. Are you finished with your answer? | 13:07:51 | | 21 | You said for years, maybe? | 13:08:03 | | 22 | A. My -- my answer was not four, f-o-u-r, as | 13:08:04 | | 23 | years. This is my answer. | 13:08:04 | | 24 | Q. All right. | 13:08:04 | | 25 | A. I don't know how many, yeah. | 13:08:06 | | | | Page 116 |

| 1 | Q. You don't know how many years? | 13:08:06 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. Correct. | 13:08:08 | | 3 | Q. Could it be more than ten years? | 13:08:09 | | 4 | A. I don't think so. | 13:08:11 | | 5 | Q. How long, if -- if you know, how long after | 13:08:13 | | 6 | Golden Spring (New York) Limited was created did | 13:08:24 | | 7 | Mr. Guo -- Qiang Guo move to the UK? | 13:08:28 | | 8 | A. I cannot recall. | 13:08:34 | | 9 | Q. All right. Do you know -- what can you tell | 13:08:40 | | 10 | us about what Golden Spring (New York) Limited has | 13:08:47 | | 11 | done to advance the business purposes you just | 13:08:50 | | 12 | described? | 13:08:55 | | 13 | A. Mr. Qiang Guo was in the United States in | 13:08:55 | | 14 | 2015, and then he travels a lot also. And, | 13:09:05 | | 15 | obviously, he set up the company, and then we develop | 13:09:12 | | 16 | business structure and plan from there; so that is | 13:09:16 | | 17 | still his direction, which we have been doing until | 13:09:22 | | 18 | his father started to do his whistle-blower moment. | 13:09:28 | | 19 | Q. What was the business plan in the beginning? | 13:09:33 | | 20 | A. Investment. | 13:09:37 | | 21 | Q. Okay. In, I believe, you mentioned real | 13:09:41 | | 22 | estate. | 13:09:48 | | 23 | What else? | 13:09:48 | | 24 | A. We started from real estate. There was real | 13:09:49 | | 25 | estate, like, investment. | 13:09:53 | | | | Page 117 |

| 1 | Q. Okay. So any other business purpose, | 13:09:54 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | besides investing money? | 13:09:57 | | 3 | A. And operate as a family office in New York | 13:10:00 | | 4 | here to support other family projects. | 13:10:09 | | 5 | Q. Okay. You have mentioned earlier the | 13:10:15 | | 6 | support of Mr. Ho Wan Kwok. | 13:10:19 | | 7 | What other family projects has Golden Spring | 13:10:23 | | 8 | (New York) Limited supported? | 13:10:27 | | 9 | A. Including their project -- real estate. | 13:10:29 | | 10 | Like, including, like, interviews and handouts. The | 13:10:39 | | 11 | architecture, designer, like, real estate-related | 13:10:45 | | 12 | vendors, and then we, like, facilitate and coordinate | 13:10:50 | | 13 | by them. | 13:10:54 | | 14 | Q. Is Golden Spring (New York) Limited a -- | 13:10:55 | | 15 | a for-profit enterprise? | 13:10:59 | | 16 | A. It is. | 13:11:03 | | 17 | Q. And what is its source of income? | 13:11:03 | | 18 | A. Source of income? I mean, we are | 13:11:08 | | 19 | a for-profit company, but we are not turning to, | 13:11:16 | | 20 | like, make revenue yet; so the source of income is | 13:11:23 | | 21 | supposed to be, like, a -- we build up the project | 13:11:26 | | 22 | under the family plan, and then we start to make | 13:11:31 | | 23 | profit from those projects -- investment projects. | 13:11:36 | | 24 | Q. Okay. So the -- the company invests money | 13:11:40 | | 25 | and hopes to make money from investments. | 13:11:43 | | | | |

| 1 | Is that it? | 13:11:47 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. That's part of the source of income, yes. | 13:11:48 | | 3 | Planned. | 13:11:52 | | 4 | Q. Does the -- does the company, Golden Spring | 13:11:52 | | 5 | (New York) Limited, have any clients? Or is it just | 13:11:57 | | 6 | the family? | 13:12:01 | | 7 | A. I mean, family office typically, to our | 13:12:02 | | 8 | understanding, is support and serve for the family | 13:12:08 | | 9 | business; so our clients are the family. | 13:12:13 | | 10 | Q. Okay. And that includes Mr. Ho Wan Kwok, | 13:12:15 | | 11 | does it not? | 13:12:20 | | 12 | A. He is the person -- the owner of the company | 13:12:21 | | 13 | requesting Golden Spring to support; so Golden Spring | 13:12:28 | | 14 | does not, like, plan or, like, having profit from his | 13:12:31 | | 15 | father, which, like, we didn't think about that and | 13:12:39 | | 16 | how; right? | 13:12:43 | | 17 | Q. Well, you just said a moment ago that | 13:12:45 | | 18 | Golden Spring (New York) limited's clients was the | 13:12:47 | | 19 | family. And I ask you if that included | 13:12:58 | | 20 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok. | 13:13:00 | | 21 | The reason I asked that question is because | 13:13:01 | | 22 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok is a member of the family, is he not? | 13:13:04 | | 23 | A. So this is my answer. Golden Spring -- | 13:13:09 | | 24 | MR. ROSEN: Hold off answering, please, just | 13:13:15 | | 25 | for a second. | 13:13:18 | | | | Page 119 |

| 1 | I'd object on the -- on the grounds that I'm | 13:13:18 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | not sure that your use of the word client is -- is | 13:13:23 | | 3 | being understood. | 13:13:25 | | 4 | Could you clarify that, please? | 13:13:25 | | 5 | MR. HARBACH: Sure. | 13:13:29 | | 6 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 13:13:32 | | 7 | Q. Ms. Wang, do you know what I mean by the | 13:13:33 | | 8 | word client? | 13:13:36 | | 9 | A.

A moment ago you said that the client | 13:13:44 | | 12 | of Golden Spring (New York) Limited was the family. | 13:13:51 | | 13 | Did you mean that in the sense that you just | 13:13:55 | | 14 | described, or did you mean that in a different way? | 13:13:59 | | 15 | A. I mean the client is the Guo family. | 13:14:02 | | 16 | I mean, they -- they are, as I testified before, | 13:14:06 | | 17 | like, a hundred family member. They all could be our | 13:14:12 | | 18 | clients. They are all business people. | 13:14:15 | | 19 | Q. Okay. | 13:14:18 | | 20 | A. So as a client of Golden Spring, which | 13:14:19 | | 21 | I mean. | 13:14:22 | | 22 | Q. Okay. Do you mean that members of the | 13:14:23 | | 23 | family pay Golden Spring? | 13:14:25 | | 24 | A. I mean if Golden Spring offered a service | 13:14:31 | | 25 | and then helped them to invest successfully, yes. | 13:14:34 | | | | Page 120 |

I'm really not meaning to be confusing. 13:15:11 BY MR. HARBACH: 13:15:14 12 Q. I understood, Ms. Wang, you to say a moment 13:15:14 ago that the family -- which is composed of numerous 13:15:17 people, you said. 13:15:22 15 That the family is a client of Golden Spring 13:15:22 (New York) Limited; is that correct? 13:15:26

17 A. The family and their family member who are 13:15:29 18 the business people; correct? 13:15:36 19 They are the Golden Spring's clients. Of 13:15:37 20 course, I don't mean that like in the minor kids; 13:15:40 21 right? 13:15:44 22 So I made that very clear. 13:15:44 23 Q. Is Mr. Ho Wan Kwok a member of that family? 13:15:46

24 A. He is one of the family member, yes. 13:15:50 25 Q. To your knowledge, has Mr. Ho Wan Kwok ever 13:15:53

To your knowledge, has any business | 13:16:17 | | 6 | organization that Mr. Ho Wan Kwok owns or controls | 13:16:26 | | 7 | ever contributed any money to Golden Spring | 13:16:32 | | 8 | (New York) Limited? | 13:16:36 | | 9 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. | 13:16:39 | | 10 | You can answer the question. | 13:16:40 | | 11 | THE WITNESS: To my knowledge, no. | 13:16:42 | | 12 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 13:16:45 | | 13 | Q. And you -- as the treasurer of Golden Spring | 13:16:49 | | 14 | (New York) Limited, would that be something you would | 13:16:53 | | 15 | expect to know if it had happened? | 13:16:56 | | 16 | A. Since I was -- | 13:16:59 | | 17 | MR. ROSEN: Object. | 13:17:03 | | 18 | You can answer. | 13:17:04 | | 19 | THE WITNESS: Since I was appointed of | 13:17:07 | | 20 | treasurer of Golden Spring, I didn't see any money | 13:17:11 | | 21 | come from Mr. Ho Wan Kwok. And Golden Spring doesn't | 13:17:13 | | 22 | look at him as a client; so he is a family member, | 13:17:17 | | 23 | but he is not our kind of like prospective client. | 13:17:21 | | 24 | He is the owner. He is the father of the owner, | 13:17:25 | | 25 | like, it -- that's our understanding. | 13:17:31 | | | | |

| 1 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 13:17:32 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. He, in fact, is the owner, isn't he, | 13:17:33 | | 3 | Ms. Wang? | 13:17:36 | | 4 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. | 13:17:37 | | 5 | THE WITNESS: He is not the owner at all. | 13:17:38 | | 6 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 13:17:42 | | 7 | Q. Were you an employee or a director or | 13:17:46 | | 8 | officer of Golden Spring at the time that it was | 13:17:53 | | 9 | created? | 13:17:56 | | 10 | A. You mean back to 2015, sir? | 13:18:00 | | 11 | Q. Yes. | 13:18:04 | | 12 | A. No. | 13:18:05 | | 13 | Q. Returning to my question about Golden Spring | 13:18:06 | | 14 | (New York) Limited's source of income, is there | 13:18:16 | | 15 | anything else in that category, other than returns on | 13:18:22 | | 16 | investment? | 13:18:26 | | 17 | A. What do you mean? Like any other source of | 13:18:28 | | 18 | income besides what I reply to you before? | 13:18:38 | | 19 | Q. Yes. | 13:18:41 | | 20 | A. Okay. So that would be our major source of | 13:18:42 | | 21 | income. Like, a family office -- I mean, in my | 13:18:45 | | 22 | understanding you already do investment; so when you | 13:18:51 | | 23 | investment, you get revenue, and then we got paid, | 13:18:54 | | 24 | and so we got. | 13:18:57 | | 25 | Q. I understand that. | 13:18:57 | | | | Page 123 |

| 1 | I'm asking you whether there was anything | 13:18:58 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | else. | 13:19:00 | | 3 | A. As far as I know, like, that is all I know. | 13:19:03 | | 4 | Q. Okay. | 13:19:08 | | 5 | A. That is the plan. I mean, as a family | 13:19:09 | | 6 | office -- right? -- we are supposed to do investment | 13:19:12 | | 7 | and make revenue -- make revenue. I mean, I am not | 13:19:15 | | 8 | a law firm. I am not other, you know, service | 13:19:18 | | 9 | company. And then any other source of income | 13:19:20 | | 10 | I should be expect. | 13:19:22 | | 11 | Q. Does Golden Spring (New York) Limited have | 13:19:24 | | 12 | any bank accounts? | 13:19:28 | | 13 | A. You are asking which time apparent, sir? | 13:19:30 | | 14 | Q. I'm asking currently. | 13:19:41 | | 15 | A. Yes. | 13:19:43 | | 16 | Q. How many? | 13:19:43 | | 17 | A. One. | 13:19:46 | | 18 | Q. At which bank? | 13:19:52 | | 19 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. There are security | 13:19:55 | | 20 | issues involved here, and we're -- I understand that | 13:19:59 | | 21 | Golden Spring's bank accounts have been shut down as | 13:20:06 | | 22 | part of what has been described to me as a harassment | 13:20:09 | | 23 | scheme; so I would ask at this point not to | 13:20:13 | | 24 | disclose -- the witness not to disclose the location | 13:20:16 | | 25 | of the bank account. | 13:20:19 | | | | |

| 1 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. Scott, I'm not meaning | 13:20:20 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | to disregard your instruction. I'm going to ask | 13:20:25 | | 3 | another question, and if you want to include this | 13:20:28 | | 4 | under your objection, please do. But I'm going to | 13:20:31 | | 5 | ask this one. | 13:20:34 | | 6 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 13:20:35 | | 7 | Q. Ms. Wang, is Golden Spring (New York)'s bank | 13:20:35 | | 8 | account with a U.S. bank? | 13:20:38 | | 9 | A. Yes. | 13:20:42 | | 10 | Q. What is the approximate current balance in | 13:20:43 | | 11 | that account? | 13:20:54 | | 12 | A. I mean, for the safety, same reason. I am | 13:20:57 | | 13 | very hesitant to tell you because PAX already, like, | 13:21:05 | | 14 | harassed all Golden Spring's bank account. | 13:21:09 | | 15 | So we are talking about DIP loan; right? | 13:21:14 | | 16 | Q. Well, yeah. | 13:21:18 | | 17 | You know the reasons that the -- that the | 13:21:19 | | 18 | deposition has been noticed, and I'm not going to get | 13:21:21 | | 19 | into a debate with you about whether the question is | 13:21:26 | | 20 | proper. | 13:21:28 | | 21 | My question is what is the approximate | 13:21:30 | | 22 | balance in Golden Spring's one bank account in the | 13:21:33 | | 23 | United States? | 13:21:38 | | 24 | MR. ROSEN: I'm going to object and would | 13:21:41 | | 25 | like, if it is acceptable to counsel, to take a short | 13:21:44 | | | | |

| 1 | recess to discuss this with my client. | 13:21:50 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | MR. HARBACH: Of course. No problem at all. | 13:21:52 | | 3 | THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We are going off the | 13:21:55 | | 4 | record. | 13:21:56 | | 5 | The time is 1:21. | 13:21:56 | | 6 | (Short recess taken.) | 13:22:00 | | 7 | THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We are back on the | 13:33:59 | | 8 | record. | 13:34:01 | | 9 | The time is 1:34. | 13:34:01 | | 10 | MR. HARBACH: Scott, did you want to put | 13:34:06 | | 11 | anything on the record here or no? | 13:34:11 | | 12 | MR. ROSEN: No. | 13:34:14 | | 13 | I did not need to put anything on the | 13:34:15 | | 14 | record. | 13:34:18 | | 15 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 13:34:18 | | 16 | Q. Okay. Ms. Wang, did you speak with anyone | 13:34:19 | | 17 | else during the break, besides your lawyer? | 13:34:21 | | 18 | A. I only talked with Mr. Scott Rosen. | 13:34:23 | | 19 | Q. Okay. Thank you. | 13:34:25 | | 20 | The pending question before the break was | 13:34:26 | | 21 | what is the approximate balance in Golden Spring | 13:34:31 | | 22 | (New York) Limited's one U.S. bank account? | 13:34:37 | | 23 | MR. ROSEN: I'm going to object and instruct | 13:34:45 | | 24 | the witness not to answer that specific question | 13:34:47 | | 25 | because of Golden Spring's concerns about maintaining | 13:34:50 | | | | Page 126 |

| 1 | the integrity and usability of the bank account in | 13:34:54 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | light of credits' rights actions that have been taken | 13:34:58 | | 3 | by -- by PAX. | 13:35:03 | | 4 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 13:35:05 | | 5 | Q. Leaving aside the identity of the bank, | 13:35:06 | | 6 | approximately how much value in liquid assets does | 13:35:11 | | 7 | Golden Spring (New York) Limited own? | 13:35:20 | | 8 | A. Golden Spring as -- I mean, enough funds to | 13:35:23 | | 9 | support Golden Spring, the operation. I mean, we | 13:35:33 | | 10 | don't have cash flow issue, so | 13:35:37 | | 11 | Q. All right. And your judgment about what | 13:35:40 | | 12 | might be a cash flow issue and our judgment about | 13:35:44 | | 13 | what might be a cash flow issue and Judge Manning's | 13:35:48 | | 14 | judgment about what might be a cash flow issue could | 13:35:54 | | 15 | be three very different things. | 13:35:57 | | 16 | And so that is why I'm asking approximately | 13:35:59 | | 17 | how much money in liquid assets does Golden Spring | 13:36:03 | | 18 | (New York) Limited own? | 13:36:09 | | 19 | A. The balance is changing every day because | 13:36:12 | | 20 | things happen every day; so I don't want to | 13:36:19 | | 21 | speculate. Obviously, I did not check the bank | 13:36:22 | | 22 | balance right now; so I cannot say. | 13:36:25 | | 23 | Q. What -- what -- when -- when was the last | 13:36:27 | | 24 | time you checked the balance? | 13:36:29 | | 25 | A. I don't recall. It is the financial -- | 13:36:30 | | | | |

| 1 | finance department, they are doing that. | 13:36:34 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Well, you are the treasurer; right? | 13:36:37 | | 3 | MR. ROSEN: Excuse me. I thought this was | 13:36:40 | | 4 | questions setting aside the bank account. The | 13:36:42 | | 5 | question was what is -- what are the values of the | 13:36:45 | | 6 | liquid assets, setting aside the bank account. | 13:36:47 | | 7 | MR. HARBACH: Yeah. I meant -- and I can't | 13:36:50 | | 8 | believe I said -- if I didn't, I'm mistaken. I meant | 13:36:53 | | 9 | the identity of the bank. I'm not -- I'm not | 13:36:56 | | 10 | interested in getting the identification of the bank. | 13:36:59 | | 11 | I'm just trying to figure out how much money | 13:37:02 | | 12 | Golden Spring (New York) Limited has. That's it. | 13:37:05 | | 13 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 13:37:02 | | 14 | Q. How much money does the company have? Do | 13:37:11 | | 15 | you know? | 13:37:13 | | 16 | A. The money enough to support all of the daily | 13:37:14 | | 17 | operation. | 13:37:18 | | 18 | Q. Are you -- are you unwilling to tell me how | 13:37:18 | | 19 | much money Golden Spring has or do you not know how | 13:37:23 | | 20 | much money Golden Spring has? | 13:37:27 | | 21 | MR. ROSEN: Yeah. I -- I have to object | 13:37:29 | | 22 | here. There are concerns about the integrity and | 13:37:31 | | 23 | usability of Golden Spring's assets in light of | 13:37:36 | | 24 | creditor activity that has been conducted by PAX; so | 13:37:41 | | 25 | these are -- these are sensitive issues. If -- if | 13:37:46 | | | | Page 128 |

| 1 | you want to get to questions about where is the loan | 13:37:50 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | proceeds going to come from, then we can -- we can | 13:37:52 | | 3 | certainly go there. But with respect to its current | 13:37:56 | | 4 | assets, at this point the credit just -- just | 13:38:00 | | 5 | outweighs any -- any -- any relevancy. | 13:38:06 | | 6 | MR. HARBACH: I -- I think I understand your | 13:38:10 | | 7 | objection, and rather than engage it fully, I will | 13:38:13 | | 8 | just note that we strongly disagree. But if you are | 13:38:16 | | 9 | instructing the witness not to answer, I'll try and | 13:38:20 | | 10 | move on. | 13:38:23 | | 11 | MR. ROSEN: Thank you. | 13:38:24 | | 12 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 13:38:26 | | 13 | Q. Approximately how much profit did | 13:38:32 | | 14 | Golden Spring (New York) make in the last year? | 13:38:35 | | 15 | A. Because of the -- the entire, like, PAX -- | 13:38:41 | | 16 | right? -- this case, I mean, PAX obviously subpoenaed | 13:38:49 | | 17 | all Golden Spring's bank. And then in my | 13:38:53 | | 18 | understanding, my console device, like, PAX didn't | 13:38:57 | | 19 | get anything; so -- because PAX specifically hurt our | 13:39:01 | | 20 | bank relationship in the last year, as you said, | 13:39:05 | | 21 | I mean, we didn't make profit last year. | 13:39:07 | | 22 | Q. You did not make a profit last year? | 13:39:10 | | 23 | A. Correct. | 13:39:14 | | 24 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. | 13:39:16 | | 25 | /// | | | | | Page 129 |

ROSEN: Objection. This is not an asset | 13:39:57 | | 15 | disclosure deposition for Golden Spring. And -- and | 13:40:01 | | 16 | in light of the pending litigation that is already | 13:40:03 | | 17 | out there, questions like this are overstepping what | 13:40:05 | | 18 | the scope of this deposition is supposed to be, | 13:40:09 | | 19 | which, again, this is a contested matter in | 13:40:11 | | 20 | a bankruptcy case for a DIP loan, which is being | 13:40:15 | | 21 | granted on a fully subordinated basis; so that's -- | 13:40:19 | | 22 | that is what we are here today on, not asset | 13:40:23 | | 23 | disclosure. | 13:40:27 | | 24 | MR.

I heard this from Mr. Qiang Guo about his | 13:45:53 | | 7 | DIP loan. | 13:45:58 | | 8 | Q. Who did he say requested the DIP loan? | 13:45:59 | | 9 | A.

I was advised by Mr. Qiang Guo afterwards. | 13:47:06 | | 23 | That was a quite short time period. And he handled; | 13:47:16 | | 24 | so the answer to you is I was not involved. | 13:47:24 | | 25 | Q. Were you consulted by Mr. Guo -- | 13:47:27 | | | | Page 134 |

| 1 | Mr. Qiang Guo on the decision about whether | 13:47:32 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Golden Spring (New York) would agree to provide DIP | 13:47:36 | | 3 | financing to the debtor here? | 13:47:40 | | 4 | A.

You mean he -- when he was making the | 13:48:05 | | 12 | decision? | 13:48:08 | | 13 | Q. Well, we're going to get to who made the | 13:48:09 | | 14 | decision. I'm trying to figure out whether you were | 13:48:14 | | 15 | involved and, if so, how. You told me a couple of | 13:48:18 | | 16 | minutes ago that you were not involved with the | 13:48:23 | | 17 | decision. | 13:48:25 | | 18 | I'm asking if Mr. Qiang Guo spoke to you | 13:48:26 | | 19 | about the decision. | 13:48:30 | | 20 | A. Yes. | 13:48:33 | | 21 | He spoke to me about the decision. | 13:48:34 | | 22 | Q. Before he made it or after? | 13:48:36 | | 23 | A. After. | 13:48:40 | | 24 | Q.

| of 280 | |--------| | |

| 1 | A. Golden Spring has been the litigation | 13:48:49 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | funding for Mr. Qiang Guo's father, I mean, for | 13:48:56 | | 3 | several years. Mr. Qiang Guo made the decision, | 13:49:01 | | 4 | given the short time apparent. As the president of | 13:49:05 | | 5 | the company, I am aligned with that, and he knew and | 13:49:09 | | 6 | he knows I am going to align with that. | 13:49:13 | | 7 | Q. I see. | 13:49:15 | | 8 | A. So no need -- | 13:49:16 | | 9 | Q. And is that -- | 13:49:16 | | 10 | A. No need to argue that, yeah, if that is what | 13:49:17 | | 11 | you are looking for. | 13:49:20 | | 12 | Q. I'm -- I'm -- I'm -- you know, I'm not | 13:49:21 | | 13 | trying to argue with you. I'm just trying to | 13:49:22 | | 14 | understand what happened. | 13:49:25 | | 15 | And so how about this? | 13:49:28 | | 16 | You understand that litigation funding in | 13:49:31 | | 17 | the past that Golden Spring may have provided to | 13:49:37 | | 18 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok is different from the DIP loan that | 13:49:46 | | 19 | we are talking about today? You understand that | 13:49:49 | | 20 | those are two different things; right? | 13:49:51 | | 21 | A. Correct. | 13:49:54 | | 22 | Q. Okay. And so I would like to focus just on | 13:49:54 | | 23 | the DIP loan and not litigation financing that may | 13:49:58 | | 24 | have occurred in the past. | 13:50:03 | | 25 | Do you understand? | 13:50:05 | | | | Page 136 |

of 280

| 1 | A. Yes. | 13:50:06 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Okay. And so do I have it right that | 13:50:10 | | 3 | according to you, the decision about whether to agree | 13:50:13 | | 4 | to the DIP loan for the debtor was Mr. Qiang Guo's | 13:50:20 | | 5 | decision? Correct? | 13:50:27 | | 6 | A. He made a decision, obviously on behalf of | 13:50:34 | | 7 | Golden Spring, and he is the owner of the company. | 13:50:41 | | 8 | And we're aligned. | 13:50:43 | | 9 | Q. Okay. And you are the president, and all | 13:50:45 | | 10 | those other titles, of Golden Spring (New York) | 13:50:49 | | 11 | Limited; correct? | 13:50:52 | | 12 | A. Correct. | 13:50:58 | | 13 | Q. Have you ever disagreed with Mr. Qiang Guo | 13:50:59 | | 14 | about a decision that he has made? | 13:51:02 | | 15 | A. Yes, of course. | 13:51:03 | | 16 | Q. Okay. And did he solicit your agreement for | 13:51:06 | | 17 | this decision? | 13:51:08 | | 18 | A. For this DIP loan decision, you mean? | 13:51:09 | | 19 | Q. Uh-huh. | 13:51:13 | | 20 | A. No. | 13:51:14 | | 21 | Why? | 13:51:19 | | 22 | Q. He just -- he told you -- | 13:51:20 | | 23 | A. Why? | 13:51:21 | | 24 | Q. He told you -- he told you about it after he | 13:51:22 | | 25 | had made a decision; correct? | 13:51:24 | | | | Page 137 |

| 1 | A. He briefed me what happened. | 13:51:26 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. What did he tell you? | 13:51:30 | | 3 | A. About this DIP loan, and then he didn't have | 13:51:31 | | 4 | enough time within the short limit of time. He took | 13:51:38 | | 5 | care of that. | 13:51:42 | | 6 | Q. Okay. | 13:51:43 | | 7 | A. So he always advise me with something in the | 13:51:44 | | 8 | short limit of time or urgency kind of like it. | 13:51:47 | | 9 | Q. Okay. | 13:51:51 | | 10 | A. And then he took it like that. He briefed | 13:51:52 | | 11 | me. That's it. | 13:51:56 | | 12 | Q. Okay. And I will ask you one more time what | 13:51:57 | | 13 | he said when he briefed you, and then I'll -- I'll | 13:52:01 | | 14 | try this another way. | 13:52:04 | | 15 | A. Okay. | 13:52:06 | | 16 | Q. What did he say when he briefed you, if you | 13:52:06 | | 17 | remember? I mean, this was, what, a month ago? | 13:52:09 | | 18 | A. So what are you asking about? Like, when | 13:52:14 | | 19 | the brief happened or the DIP loan happened, sir? | 13:52:16 | | 20 | Q. Fifteen seconds ago you told me a couple of | 13:52:18 | | 21 | times that Mr. Qiang Guo briefed you. | 13:52:22 | | 22 | Do you remember that? | 13:52:26 | | 23 | A. Yes. | 13:52:27 | | 24 | Q. What did he say when he briefed you? | 13:52:28 | | 25 | A. He said he retained attorney and worked | 13:52:32 | | | | Page 138 |

| 1 | together with the lenders' attorney and then -- to | 13:52:45 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | take care of the DIP loan. And that is what he told | 13:52:48 | | 3 | me. | 13:52:53 | | 4 | Q. Okay. Was that the first time you had heard | 13:52:53 | | 5 | about the DIP loan? | 13:52:57 | | 6 | A. No. | 13:52:59 | | 7 | Q. Who was the first person you heard about it | 13:53:01 | | 8 | from? | 13:53:05 | | 9 | A. I heard from the attorneys -- our attorneys. | 13:53:06 | | 10 | Q. Okay.

| 1 | THE WITNESS: Ah, okay. Again, not my | 14:07:39 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | native language. | 14:07:41 | | 3 | So Mr. Qiang Guo advised me, and he is | 14:07:42 | | 4 | taking care of that also. Because this attorney | 14:07:46 | | 5 | based in UK; so like, where Mr. Qiang Guo is at. He | 14:07:52 | | 6 | will take care. For Golden Spring, we didn't receive | 14:07:56 | | 7 | invoice yet. Probably will come, but I didn't see | 14:08:00 | | 8 | that yet. | 14:08:03 | | 9 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 14:08:04 | | 10 | Q. So when Mr. Qiang Guo told you that he would | 14:08:04 | | 11 | take care of it, you understood that to mean that | 14:08:07 | | 12 | Golden Spring (New York) would pay for her services; | 14:08:10 | | 13 | is that right? | 14:08:14 | | 14 | A. That is my understanding. For | 14:08:15 | | 15 | Golden Spring, like, we didn't receive invoice. If | 14:08:21 | | 16 | we receive that invoice, we will take care of that. | 14:08:23 | | 17 | Q. Okay. Are there any other current officers | 14:08:26 | | 18 | and directors of Golden Spring (New York) Limited, | 14:08:50 | | 19 | besides you and Qiang Guo? | 14:08:57 | | 20 | A. No. | 14:09:03 | | 21 | Only me and him. | 14:09:03 | | 22 | Q. Okay. Am I right that there was a time, | 14:09:05 | | 23 | a few months in 2020, when you were replaced as | 14:09:14 | | 24 | president by someone named Daniel Podhaskie, | 14:09:23 | | 25 | P-o-d-h-a-s-k-i-e? Is that right? | 14:09:27 | | | | Page 148 |

of 280

| 1 | A. | Correct. | 14:09:37 | |----|----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. | It looks like Mr. Podhaskie was in those | 14:09:38 | | 3 | | roles for a little less than two months. | 14:09:49 | | 4 | | Does that sound about right to you? | 14:09:53 | | 5 | A. | Yes. | 14:09:55 | | 6 | Q. | Okay. And why was it that he replaced you | 14:09:58 | | 7 | | for those couple of months? | 14:10:02 | | 8 | A. | Because I -- I was -- I had personal issue | 14:10:04 | | 9 | | by then, which I couldn't perform as my job as duty. | 14:10:13 | | 10 | Q. | I see. | 14:10:20 | | 11 | | And when that personal issue was resolved, | 14:10:21 | | 12 | | you returned -- | 14:10:25 | | 13 | A. | That's right. | 14:10:28 | | 14 | Q. | -- is that right? | 14:10:29 | | 15 | A. | Yes. That's right. | 14:10:30 | | 16 | Q. | Okay. Did you have a briefing with | 14:10:31 | | 17 | | Mr. Podhaskie when you came back on the job? | 14:10:50 | | 18 | A. | I don't recall. | 14:10:59 | | 19 | Q. | Okay. Do you recall, in any conversations | 14:11:02 | | 20 | | with Mr. Podhaskie, whether he was in contact with | 14:11:08 | | 21 | | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? | 14:11:14 | | 22 | A. | No. | 14:11:19 | | 23 | | I don't recall. We just handed over, like, | 14:11:22 | | 24 | | the daily operation work. I mean, I don't recall | 14:11:31 | | 25 | | anything more than that. | 14:11:35 | | | | | Page 149 |

| 1 | Q. To your knowledge, is Mr. Podhaskie | 14:11:36 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | currently, as of today, working for Golden Spring | 14:11:45 | | 3 | (New York)? | 14:11:48 | | 4 | A. No. | 14:11:48 | | 5 | Q. Who is the current general counsel of | 14:11:50 | | 6 | Golden Spring (New York)? | 14:11:56 | | 7 | MR. ROSEN: I'm going to object to that | 14:12:00 | | 8 | question, and I have been advised for matters of | 14:12:02 | | 9 | personal security that general counsel does not wish | 14:12:09 | | 10 | to disclose general counsel's identity. | 14:12:12 | | 11 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. I think I can work | 14:12:17 | | 12 | around it, Scott. Just don't hesitate to interrupt | 14:12:19 | | 13 | if -- if you want to, but I'm going to try and work | 14:12:23 | | 14 | around that. | 14:12:26 | | 15 | Okay? | 14:12:27 | | 16 | MR. ROSEN: Okay. | 14:12:27 | | 17 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 14:12:27 | | 18 | Q. Ms. Wang, your lawyer doesn't want you to | 14:12:28 | | 19 | say the name, but do you know who the current general | 14:12:31 | | 20 | counsel of Golden Spring (New York) is? | 14:12:35 | | 21 | A. Yes, I know. | 14:12:37 | | 22 | Q. Okay. And do you communicate with that | 14:12:39 | | 23 | person? | 14:12:42 | | 24 | A. Yes, we do. | 14:12:46 | | 25 | Q. How regularly? How often do you communicate | 14:12:49 | | | | Page 150 |

| 1 | with that person? | 14:12:52 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. We communicated -- it is not a daily basis, | 14:12:53 | | 3 | but several times per week. | 14:13:03 | | 4 | Q. Okay. I find it interesting that you have | 14:13:06 | | 5 | a clear recollection of how often you speak with the | 14:13:13 | | 6 | general counsel, but no recollection with any clarity | 14:13:18 | | 7 | of how often you speak with Mr. Ho Wan Kwok. | 14:13:24 | | 8 | Can you explain that? | 14:13:28 | | 9 | A. Yes, sir. | 14:13:31 | | 10 | Because I'm the president of the | 14:13:33 | | 11 | Golden Spring, and that is my job to communicate with | 14:13:35 | | 12 | my employee, including my general counsel and the | 14:13:38 | | 13 | rest of our employees; so that is my job. I am being | 14:13:42 | | 14 | paid to do that; so Mr. Ho Wan Kwok -- I mean, we | 14:13:46 | | 15 | don't communicate on a regular basis or any -- kind | 14:13:53 | | 16 | of like as you said, a regular basis. We just | 14:13:56 | | 17 | communicate as we need. I mean, he is not employee; | 14:13:59 | | 18 | right? | 14:14:04 | | 19 | And then I don't report to him; so why | 14:14:04 | | 20 | should I, you know, keep that rhythm and then to talk | 14:14:07 | | 21 | with someone who is not in my job work? | 14:14:10 | | 22 | Q. Just one moment, please. Hang on one | 14:14:14 | | 23 | second. | 14:14:24 | | 24 | When was the current general counsel of | 14:14:49 | | 25 | Golden Spring hired? | 14:14:52 | | | | Page 151 |

12 Q. How many other people did you interview for 14:15:41 13 that position? 14:15:45 14 A. Wow. I mean, when I hire people, I'm pretty 14:15:47 15 much, if I can say, picky; so I did interview, like, 14:15:56 16 several candidates. 14:16:02

17 Q. Okay. Do you know where the person who is 14:16:04 18 currently the general counsel worked immediately 14:16:09 19 before coming to Golden Spring? 14:16:13 20 A. Can you please repeat again? 14:16:20 21 Q. Yes. 14:16:23 22 A. Sorry. 14:16:24 23 Q. The -- the person who is general counsel of 14:16:25 24 Golden Spring, who you said you were involved in 14:16:28 25 hiring, where did that person work immediately before 14:16:31

| 1 | Golden Spring, if you know? | 14:16:36 | |----|----------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A.

Give me -- give me the -- give me the first | 14:16:54 | | 9 | letter of the company where the general counsel | 14:16:56 | | 10 | worked before coming to Golden Spring. | 14:16:59 | | 11 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. That's -- that is | 14:17:02 | | 12 | the -- it is the same issue. | 14:17:04 | | 13 | MR. HARBACH: Because of the first letter? | 14:17:10 | | 14 | MR. ROSEN: We are not playing, you know, | 14:17:12 | | 15 | twenty questions here. David, c'mon. | 14:17:14 | | 16 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 14:17:24 | | 17 | Q. Was the general counsel's prior employer -- | 14:17:24 | | 18 | was the identity of the general counsel's prior | 14:17:31 | | 19 | employer a factor in your decision to hire that | 14:17:39 | | 20 | person? | 14:17:44 | | 21 | A. Well, I don't understand your question, sir. | 14:17:44 | | 22 | Can I ask for the interpreter to help me? | 14:17:46 | | 23 | Sorry. | 14:17:49 | | 24 | Q. No problem. | 14:17:51 | | 25 | MR.

| 7 | people, like the previous employer before me, that | 14:18:33 | |---|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 8 | does matter also. And, obviously, you know, I want | 14:18:40 | | 9 | to hire the high quality of talent; right? | 14:18:44 |

10 Where they are from, that do matter. And, 14:18:48 plus, I still care about, like, the loyalty with the 14:18:51 previous job. You already -- I don't like, you know, 14:18:54 employee or the candidate jumping too often from job 14:18:59 to job. But besides that, you know, I do care about, 14:19:04 like, the interview -- the feeling of the interview; 14:19:09 right? 14:19:11

17 The understanding and the communication and 14:19:12 the people skill, of course the capability of 14:19:14 professional, that all matters; so to answer your 14:19:17 question, the previous employer does matter, but it 14:19:20 is not only the -- only one reason for me to make 14:19:23 a decision to send out the offer. 14:19:27 BY MR. HARBACH: 14:19:31 24 Q. Did you contact this general counsel's 14:19:31 previous employer during the hiring process? 14:19:34

| 1 | A. I remember my HR department by then, they | 14:19:42 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | conducted the background check and reference check. | 14:19:47 | | 3 | I didn't do that by myself. I have a company do | 14:19:51 | | 4 | that. | 14:19:54 | | 5 | Q. So you did -- you, personally, did not speak | 14:19:54 | | 6 | to anyone at this person's prior employer; correct? | 14:19:57 | | 7 | A. I mean, I manage the entire, like, employee. | 14:20:03 | | 8 | I mean, as the president of the company, my | 14:20:06 | | 9 | understanding is you are the -- the HR department | 14:20:09 | | 10 | will do that for me; right? | 14:20:12 | | 11 | Q. You know, Ms. Wang, it is a simple question. | 14:20:14 | | 12 | I'm not suggesting you should have. I'm just asking | 14:20:17 | | 13 | whether you did. | 14:20:20 | | 14 | A. No, I didn't. | 14:20:21 | | 15 | Q. Okay. | 14:20:23 | | 16 | A. My HR department did that, uh-huh. | 14:20:24 | | 17 | Q. Okay. Did you personally conduct any of the | 14:20:27 | | 18 | reference calls for this person? | 14:20:30 | | 19 | A. No. | 14:20:32 | | 20 | I didn't do that. But my -- my -- in | 14:20:35 | | 21 | person, my -- personally. | 14:20:40 | | 22 | Q. But your understanding is that somebody in | 14:20:43 | | 23 | your HR department did? | 14:20:44 | | 24 | A. Correct. | 14:20:46 | | 25 | Q. Are there any other inhouse lawyers for | 14:20:47 | | | | Page 155 |

| 1 | Golden Spring (New York), apart from the general | 14:21:00 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | counsel? | 14:21:03 | | 3 | A. Which time period you are asking, sir? | 14:21:04 | | 4 | Q. Currently. | 14:21:10 | | 5 | A. No. | 14:21:12 | | 6 | Q. How many employees does Golden Spring | 14:21:14 | | 7 | (New York) Limited currently have? | 14:21:26 | | 8 | MR. ROSEN: I believe that information has | 14:21:34 | | 9 | been previously provided. And I believe, David, you | 14:21:36 | | 10 | are aware of the sensitivity to the employee issue. | 14:21:41 | | 11 | I -- I don't think we have an objection to answering | 14:21:45 | | 12 | how many employees there are, but I would ask you | 14:21:50 | | 13 | not -- not to get into any personal or identifying | 14:21:54 | | 14 | information with respect to that. | 14:21:57 | | 15 | MR. HARBACH: Yeah. I -- I -- thank you, | 14:22:00 | | 16 | Scott. | 14:22:02 | | 17 | I do understand the position of | 14:22:04 | | 18 | Golden Spring (New York) as had been represented to | 14:22:06 | | 19 | us by counsel and repeated by counsel for the debtor | 14:22:09 | | 20 | in -- in a previous proceeding; so I will respect | 14:22:14 | | 21 | your request for purposes of this deposition while | 14:22:22 | | 22 | noting that we disagree strongly with the -- the | 14:22:25 | | 23 | basis of it. | 14:22:29 | | 24 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 14:22:33 | | 25 | Q. So for the moment, Ms. Wang, my question is | 14:22:33 | | | | Page 156 |

| 1 | just the number of employees. | 14:22:36 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | How many employees currently work at | 14:22:38 | | 3 | Golden Spring (New York) Limited? | 14:22:43 | | 4 | A. Oh, currently I believe it is about fourteen | 14:22:45 | | 5 | of them, including myself. | 14:22:53 | | 6 | Q. Including you? | 14:22:55 | | 7 | A. Yes. | 14:22:58 | | 8 | Q. Does that also include Mr. Qiang Guo? Or | 14:22:58 | | 9 | no? | 14:23:04 | | 10 | A. No. | 14:23:05 | | 11 | Q. Okay. So you and the general counsel -- | 14:23:05 | | 12 | does that include that person? | 14:23:10 | | 13 | A. Correct. | 14:23:13 | | 14 | Q. Okay. So you, the general counsel, and | 14:23:14 | | 15 | twelve other people? | 14:23:21 | | 16 | A. Yes. | 14:23:23 | | 17 | Q. Do all of those people work at the family | 14:23:23 | | 18 | office? | 14:23:32 | | 19 | MR. ROSEN: I object to this. The -- there | 14:23:36 | | 20 | are issues of physical security that I have been | 14:23:38 | | 21 | alerted to. And if -- if -- if you would like, | 14:23:41 | | 22 | David, I do have a statement from the Golden Spring | 14:23:47 | | 23 | security team that I could read into the record. | 14:23:50 | | 24 | If -- if -- if you think it is appropriate. But -- | 14:23:54 | | 25 | MR. HARBACH: I -- I appreciate that, Scott. | 14:23:59 | | | | |

| 1 | I mean, I -- as I said before, we -- we understand | 14:24:02 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | the position that you are taking. And if your | 14:24:05 | | 3 | position is whether all employees work in the same | 14:24:08 | | 4 | location presents a security risk such that you are | 14:24:13 | | 5 | going to direct the witness not to answer, that is | 14:24:16 | | 6 | okay. I'll just note for the record that we -- we | 14:24:19 | | 7 | disagree and reserve the right to take it up with the | 14:24:22 | | 8 | Judge, like we do just about all of the objections | 14:24:26 | | 9 | that have been made today. But -- but -- but that is | 14:24:30 | | 10 | sufficient for present purposes, if that is okay with | 14:24:34 | | 11 | you. | 14:24:36 | | 12 | MR. ROSEN: Yes. | 14:24:37 | | 13 | That -- that is fine. | 14:24:38 | | 14 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. | 14:24:40 | | 15 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 14:24:41 | | 16 | Q. Does Golden Spring -- as far as -- as you | 14:24:52 | | 17 | are concerned, Ms. Wang, does Golden Spring | 14:24:54 | | 18 | (New York) Limited expect to be repaid for the DIP | 14:24:59 | | 19 | loan? | 14:25:05 | | 20 | A. It is a loan, yes. Golden Spring is going | 14:25:06 | | 21 | to expect to be repaid. | 14:25:12 | | 22 | Q. We were speaking earlier about bank accounts | 14:25:14 | | 23 | and whatnot, and I'm -- and I'm not intending to | 14:25:30 | | 24 | reopen that can of worms, but I am going to ask this | 14:25:33 | | 25 | precise question. | 14:25:38 | | | | Page 158 |

| 1 | What is the source of the moneys that will | 14:25:38 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | fund the DIP loan if it is approved? | 14:25:41 | | 3 | A. And it will be arranged by Mr. Qiang Guo | 14:25:43 | | 4 | directly. | 14:25:53 | | 5 | Q. What is the source of the moneys that will | 14:25:53 | | 6 | fund the DIP loan if it is approved? | 14:25:58 | | 7 | A. It will be arranged by Mr. Qiang Guo | 14:26:06 | | 8 | directly. | 14:26:08 | | 9 | Q. Do you know where the money will come from? | 14:26:08 | | 10 | A. I was not advised it yet, but Mr. Qiang Guo | 14:26:13 | | 11 | said that he will take care of that, as he always do. | 14:26:19 | | 12 | Q. So you are president and treasurer of | 14:26:22 | | 13 | Golden Spring. You are here testifying today about | 14:26:25 | | 14 | a DIP loan, as I have been reminded countless times. | 14:26:29 | | 15 | And your testimony is that you do not know where the | 14:26:35 | | 16 | money to fund the DIP loan is coming from. | 14:26:39 | | 17 | Have I got that right? | 14:26:45 | | 18 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. That | 14:26:47 | | 19 | mischaracterizes the witness' testimony. | 14:26:48 | | 20 | You can answer the question. | 14:26:55 | | 21 | THE WITNESS: It will be arranged by | 14:26:56 | | 22 | Mr. Qiang Guo directly from his or -- his wealth, in | 14:26:58 | | 23 | my understanding, as always we do. | 14:27:06 | | 24 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 14:27:10 | | 25 | Q. Did he tell you that? | 14:27:11 | | | | Page 159 |

| 1 | A. He advised me he will take care of that. | 14:27:15 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Did he tell you where the money was coming | 14:27:18 | | 3 | from? | 14:27:20 | | 4 | A. So far not yet. But he said he will take | 14:27:21 | | 5 | care of that, as he always does. | 14:27:26 | | 6 | Q. Did you ask him where the money was coming | 14:27:27 | | 7 | from? | 14:27:30 | | 8 | A. I didn't. | 14:27:31 | | 9 | Q. Okay. | 14:27:37 | | 10 | A. He said he will take care of that. | 14:27:39 | | 11 | Q. No. | 14:27:40 | | 12 | I -- I -- I understand that he said he will | 14:27:41 | | 13 | take care of it. I'm just asking if you know where | 14:27:43 | | 14 | the money was coming from, and -- and I think I have | 14:27:46 | | 15 | got the answer. | 14:27:49 | | 16 | A. We have trust between each other for so many | 14:27:51 | | 17 | years. When -- as the owner of the company, he said | 14:27:54 | | 18 | he will take care of that, and I will just let him do | 14:27:57 | | 19 | his part. I am doing my part; right? So | 14:28:01 | | 20 | Q. Listen, that -- that is fine. But you have | 14:28:05 | | 21 | been tendered as the person at Golden Spring | 14:28:07 | | 22 | (New York) Limited with knowledge about all these | 14:28:11 | | 23 | topics that we have noticed. One of the topics is | 14:28:14 | | 24 | the source of funds used by Golden Spring to finance | 14:28:17 | | 25 | the DIP loan agreement. And so I -- I just asked you | 14:28:21 | | | | |

| 1 | if you know, and so we are clear, your answer is you | 14:28:26 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | don't know, but Qiang Guo said he would take care of | 14:28:31 | | 3 | it, and that's enough for you. | 14:28:35 | | 4 | MR. ROSEN: That's -- objection. That | 14:28:38 | | 5 | mischaracterizes the testimony. | 14:28:40 | | 6 | MR. HARBACH: Oh, Scott, how does that | 14:28:42 | | 7 | mischaracterize the testimony? | 14:28:44 | | 8 | MR. ROSEN: Because she also testified that | 14:28:45 | | 9 | it could be from his wealth. | 14:28:47 | | 10 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 14:28:47 | | 11 | Q. Okay. So did he -- did he say that? My | 14:28:50 | | 12 | question is did he say that to you? Did he say that | 14:28:57 | | 13 | I am -- I'm going to take care of it from my wealth? | 14:28:59 | | 14 | Is that what he said? | 14:29:02 | | 15 | A. Correct. | 14:29:09 | | 16 | Q. He said that to you? | 14:29:09 | | 17 | A. Yes. | 14:29:12 | | 18 | As always, we chat. He briefed me. He | 14:29:13 | | 19 | said, I will take care of that. You don't worry. | 14:29:17 | | 20 | And I have place to rent. My understanding, after so | 14:29:20 | | 21 | many years, that will come from his wealth. | 14:29:23 | | 22 | Q. Okay. So he did not say to you, I will take | 14:29:26 | | 23 | care of it from my money. He just said, I will take | 14:29:29 | | 24 | care of it, and based on your experience with him | 14:29:34 | | 25 | over the years, you understood that to mean from his | 14:29:39 | | | | |

of 280

| 1 | wealth. | 14:29:42 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Have I got that right? | 14:29:43 | | 3 | A. So you remind me, like, he said I have it. | 14:29:45 | | 4 | I will take care of that. That's his, as we said, | 14:29:51 | | 5 | quote to quote. He said that to me. In my | 14:29:55 | | 6 | understanding, that will come from his -- his wealth. | 14:29:58 | | 7 | Q. Okay. And when was this conversation? | 14:30:00 | | 8 | A. That was yesterday also. | 14:30:03 | | 9 | Q. Was yesterday the -- the first time you | 14:30:06 | | 10 | learned what the source of the funds used to finance | 14:30:17 | | 11 | the DIP loan agreement were coming from? | 14:30:24 | | 12 | A. There was a -- in order to prep the | 14:30:30 | | 13 | deposition today, like, he went through this DIP loan | 14:30:37 | | 14 | arrangement with me a little bit. | 14:30:41 | | 15 | Q. Okay. | 14:30:43 | | 16 | A. Yeah. He mentioned to me, I have it. | 14:30:44 | | 17 | I will take care of that -- | 14:30:46 | | 18 | Q. All right. | 14:30:48 | | 19 | A. -- you know, as a conversation. | 14:30:49 | | 20 | Q. Fair enough. | 14:30:50 | | 21 | My only question for you is when he told you | 14:30:51 | | 22 | yesterday, I have it. I'll take care of it, is that | 14:30:54 | | 23 | the first time you learned what the source of the DIP | 14:30:58 | | 24 | loan funds would be? | 14:31:03 | | 25 | A. That is the time I heard from him because | 14:31:05 | | | | Page 162 |

| 1 | I need to prep the deposition today. But I know he | 14:31:11 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | has it for so many years; so it is not, like, the | 14:31:15 | | 3 | first time -- right? -- I got -- oh, you have money. | 14:31:20 | | 4 | It is not like that way. I know he had it. | 14:31:23 | | 5 | Q. Oh, I got it. I got you. And, believe me, | 14:31:25 | | 6 | I am not trying to suggest that yesterday was the | 14:31:28 | | 7 | first day you learned he had money. Not at all. | 14:31:31 | | 8 | I get that. | 14:31:35 | | 9 | What I'm -- what I'm trying to focus on is | 14:31:36 | | 10 | was yesterday the first day that you learned that the | 14:31:38 | | 11 | money that would fund the DIP loan was going to come | 14:31:44 | | 12 | from Qiang Guo? | 14:31:47 | | 13 | A. That was the time I heard from him, yes. | 14:31:52 | | 14 | Q. Okay. What is your understanding as to how | 14:31:55 | | 15 | the DIP loan is going to be repaid? If you know. | 14:32:04 | | 16 | A. I don't know. | 14:32:11 | | 17 | Q. Okay. Give me ten seconds, folks, please. | 14:32:13 | | 18 | Excuse me. | 14:32:31 | | 19 | Okay. Thanks, everybody. | 14:33:24 | | 20 | Subject change. | 14:33:29 | | 21 | Ms. Wang, does -- does Golden Spring | 14:33:37 | | 22 | (New York) Limited have any kind of company bylaws | 14:33:45 | | 23 | that you know of? | 14:33:49 | | 24 | A. Yes. | 14:33:50 | | 25 | We do have bylaws. | 14:33:50 | | | | Page 163 |

| 1 | Q. Okay. And do those bylaws say anything | 14:33:52 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | about decisions of the company and how they are to be | 14:33:56 | | 3 | made? | 14:34:04 | | 4 | A. Yes. | 14:34:04 | | 5 | Q. Okay. And do those bylaws include rules | 14:34:05 | | 6 | about how the -- the president and treasurer are to | 14:34:10 | | 7 | be involved? | 14:34:13 | | 8 | A. Yes. | 14:34:14 | | 9 | Q. Okay. And as far as you are aware, | 14:34:16 | | 10 | Golden Spring has operated within the constraints of | 14:34:22 | | 11 | those bylaws properly as long as you have been there? | 14:34:27 | | 12 | A. What do you mean, properly, sir? | 14:34:31 | | 13 | Q. Well, have they -- while you have been at | 14:34:34 | | 14 | Golden Spring (New York), have the rules been | 14:34:38 | | 15 | followed as laid out in the bylaws? | 14:34:41 | | 16 | A. I mean, we are family office. I mean, we're | 14:34:44 | | 17 | private company and family office. I work for | 14:34:48 | | 18 | Mr. Qiang Guo, himself, for my entire career; so | 14:34:53 | | 19 | like, he authorized me to make a decision. | 14:35:02 | | 20 | I communicated with him. I mean, we don't have | 14:35:06 | | 21 | issue. If there is missing any paperwork, it doesn't | 14:35:08 | | 22 | mean that anybody purposely do anything wrong; so we | 14:35:11 | | 23 | are a family office. | 14:35:14 | | 24 | Q. I'm not suggesting anything about | 14:35:16 | | 25 | wrongdoing, certainly not on purpose. I asked you if | 14:35:19 | | | | Page 164 |

| 1 | the company had bylaws. You said yes. | 14:35:25 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | My next question is has the company abided | 14:35:27 | | 3 | by the bylaws as long as you have been there, as far | 14:35:31 | | 4 | as you know? | 14:35:35 | | 5 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. That's -- that is -- | 14:35:37 | | 6 | that is very broad. | 14:35:37 | | 7 | What particular aspect of the bylaws are you | 14:35:41 | | 8 | looking for? | 14:35:44 | | 9 | MR. HARBACH: Well, I tried to remain | 14:35:45 | | 10 | focused on decision making and the powers of the | 14:35:47 | | 11 | president and treasurer; so I guess I'll ask it that | 14:35:50 | | 12 | way. | 14:35:55 | | 13 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 14:35:55 | | 14 | Q. Have -- have the bylaws about the authority | 14:35:55 | | 15 | and power of the president and the treasurer been | 14:35:58 | | 16 | respected since you have been at Golden Spring? | 14:36:04 | | 17 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. The bylaws are not | 14:36:07 | | 18 | in the record. It -- it is -- the question is -- is | 14:36:09 | | 19 | hopelessly vague. | 14:36:13 | | 20 | But you can answer. | 14:36:15 | | 21 | THE WITNESS: Me and Mr. Qiang Guo, we | 14:36:18 | | 22 | manage Golden Spring (New York) Limited based on our | 14:36:23 | | 23 | aligned -- aligned -- our aligned agreement and | 14:36:26 | | 24 | proper authorization. | 14:36:31 | | 25 | /// | | | | | |

| 2 | Q. Okay. Let me ask a different question. | 14:36:35 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 3 | When you were appointed as president, | 14:36:40 | | 4 | secretary, treasurer of Golden Spring (New York) in | 14:36:47 | | 5 | the spring of 2018 -- that's -- so that is the time | 14:36:52 | | 6 | I'm focusing on -- were you aware that the company's | 14:36:57 | | 7 | charter had been inoperative and void since March 1 | 14:37:01 | | 8 | of 2017? | 14:37:07 | | 9 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. Assumes facts not on | 14:37:10 | | 10 | the record. | 14:37:13 | | 11 | THE WITNESS: I don't recall. | 14:37:15 | | 12 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 14:37:16 | | 13 | Q. Do you recall ever executing a revival -- | 14:37:18 | | 14 | a certificate of revival on behalf of Golden Spring | 14:37:23 | | 15 | (New York) Limited to correct that problem? | 14:37:27 | | 16 | A. I don't recall. If you have documents, you | 14:37:33 | | 17 | can remind me, sir. | 14:37:36 | | 18 | Q. Give me just one second. | 14:37:38 | | 19 | Okay. I think we're going to put up another | 14:39:17 | | 20 | exhibit here real quick that might help you remember. | 14:39:21 | | 21 | MR. HARBACH: Yeah. It is 808. Yeah. It | 14:39:30 | | 22 | is 808. | 14:39:40 | | 23 | (Deposition Exhibit Number 5 | 14:39:43 | | 24 | was marked for identification.) | 14:39:46 | | 25 | MR. HARBACH: Thanks for your patience. | 14:39:46 | | | | Page 166 |

| 1 | I think we have got the document here. | 14:39:49 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | THE WITNESS: Sorry. | 14:40:02 | | 3 | Sir, can we have a break after this | 14:40:05 | | 4 | document? | 14:40:07 | | 5 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 14:40:08 | | 6 | Q. Sure. | 14:40:08 | | 7 | A. Thank you. | 14:40:09 | | 8 | Q. Okay. So what is fixing to come through is | 14:40:18 | | 9 | Exhibit 5. There we go. | 14:40:21 | | 10 | All right. I had myself muted. I'm sorry. | 14:41:02 | | 11 | Could you please go to the last page of | 14:41:04 | | 12 | Exhibit 5. | 14:41:07 | | 13 | A. (Witness complies.) | 14:41:08 | | 14 | Yes. I'm here. | 14:41:09 | | 15 | Q. Okay. You see how this one is captioned | 14:41:10 | | 16 | state of Delaware, certificate for revival of | 14:41:14 | | 17 | charter? | 14:41:18 | | 18 | A. Yes. | 14:41:18 | | 19 | Q. And there is a signature at the bottom. | 14:41:19 | | 20 | Is that yours? | 14:41:23 | | 21 | A. Yes. | 14:41:24 | | 22 | Q. And the very bottom right hand of the page | 14:41:27 | | 23 | it says -- there is a stamp there that says filed | 14:41:30 | | 24 | ten -- there is a time of 10:23:18, I think it says. | 14:41:37 | | 25 | A. Yes. | 14:41:46 | | | | Page 167 |

| 1 | Q. Okay. So this is what I was asking you | 14:41:46 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | about a minute ago. In paragraph three, it says the | 14:41:52 | | 3 | date of filing of the corporation's original | 14:41:56 | | 4 | certificate of incorporation in Delaware was | 14:42:00 | | 5 | 03/10/2015. | 14:42:04 | | 6 | Do you see that? | 14:42:07 | | 7 | A. Yes. | 14:42:08 | | 8 | Q. So that March 10th of 2015 was the -- | 14:42:13 | | 9 | apparently the date of incorporation of Golden Spring | 14:42:16 | | 10 | (New York) Limited. | 14:42:20 | | 11 | And then if you look down at paragraph five, | 14:42:21 | | 12 | it says: | 14:42:25 | | 13 | "The corporation was duly organized and | 14:42:26 | | 14 | carried on the business authorized by its | 14:42:29 | | 15 | charter until the first day of March AD 2017, | 14:42:32 | | 16 | at which time its charter became inoperative | 14:42:41 | | 17 | and void for nonpayment of taxes and/or | 14:42:44 | | 18 | failure to file a complete annual report and | 14:42:49 | | 19 | the certificate of revival is filed by | 14:42:54 | | 20 | authority of the duly elected directors of | 14:42:56 | | 21 | the corporation in accordance with the laws | 14:43:00 | | 22 | of the state of Delaware." | 14:43:04 | | 23 | Were you able to follow along with me while | 14:43:07 | | 24 | I read that? | 14:43:09 | | 25 | A. Yes. | 14:43:10 | | | | Page 168 |

| 1 | Q. Okay. So now does this refresh your | 14:43:11 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | recollection about whether when you were hired at | 14:43:19 | | 3 | Golden Spring in the spring of 2018 the charter had | 14:43:23 | | 4 | been made inoperative and void? | 14:43:32 | | 5 | A. So what is your question, sir? Are you | 14:43:43 | | 6 | expecting me to reply? | 14:43:46 | | 7 | Q. Yes, ma'am. | 14:43:47 | | 8 | Before I dug up this document, when I asked | 14:43:48 | | 9 | you that same question, you said I don't remember or | 14:43:52 | | 10 | I don't recall. And you said to me, if you have any | 14:43:56 | | 11 | documents, maybe that could help me; so I'm providing | 14:44:00 | | 12 | you a document to try and help you. | 14:44:04 | | 13 | And the question is whether seeing this | 14:44:09 | | 14 | document refreshes your recollection about whether at | 14:44:11 | | 15 | the time you assumed your duties at Golden Spring | 14:44:15 | | 16 | (New York) in the spring of 2018 the company, in | 14:44:21 | | 17 | fact, had become inoperative -- correction. | 14:44:27 | | 18 | The charter of the company had become | 14:44:30 | | 19 | inoperative and void. | 14:44:33 | | 20 | A. So you are asking me why? Or what is your | 14:44:41 | | 21 | question, sir? Why or -- | 14:44:45 | | 22 | Q. I'm asking whether this is, in fact, true | 14:44:48 | | 23 | that at the time you were hired in the spring of | 14:44:54 | | 24 | 2018 -- okay? -- whether at that time the charter of | 14:44:58 | | 25 | Golden Spring (New York) Limited was inoperative and | 14:45:06 | | | | |

| 1 | void. | 14:45:12 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. The -- the document | 14:45:12 | | 3 | speaks for itself. | 14:45:14 | | 4 | MR. HARBACH: It -- it does, indeed, Scott. | 14:45:16 | | 5 | And that is quite fair. | 14:45:19 | | 6 | Unfortunately, the history of this | 14:45:21 | | 7 | litigation is that sometimes documents are challenged | 14:45:23 | | 8 | as being inauthentic and forgeries when they are | 14:45:26 | | 9 | plainly not; so I'm afraid I have to ask the | 14:45:31 | | 10 | question. | 14:45:34 | | 11 | MR. ROSEN: You can answer the question. | 14:45:34 | | 12 | THE WITNESS: Sir, I don't -- I don't know | 14:45:36 | | 13 | what happened before I was officially hired, but if | 14:45:39 | | 14 | you read back the entire Golden Spring, including, | 14:45:45 | | 15 | I believe, the corporation, was set up by attorney | 14:45:49 | | 16 | from William Connolly. The attorney's name is | 14:45:52 | | 17 | addressed on page three, Jerry L. Shulman; so | 14:45:58 | | 18 | I know -- I got to know -- Jerry was Mr. Qiang Guo's | 14:46:03 | | 19 | attorney. And William Connolly was, like, a -- what | 14:46:07 | | 20 | is technically, like, the Golden Spring charters, | 14:46:11 | | 21 | like, the documentation, you know, all the paperwork; | 14:46:17 | | 22 | so the answer to you was, like, when I was hired -- | 14:46:20 | | 23 | of course, I don't know what happened before me, but, | 14:46:25 | | 24 | obviously, Jerry Shulman, the attorney by then was -- | 14:46:28 | | 25 | maintained the -- the record here or fix the record | 14:46:32 |

| 1 | somehow, which I am not aware of that before me. | 14:46:36 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 14:46:41 | | 3 | Q. Okay. Just a moment. | 14:46:42 | | 4 | Okay. We thought we were having a fire | 14:46:50 | | 5 | drill in our building, but it is only a test. Sorry | 14:46:53 | | 6 | for the noise. | 14:46:56 | | 7 | I understood what you said, Ms. Wang. | 14:47:00 | | 8 | You -- you signed this document, and it was filed in | 14:47:03 | | 9 | Delaware in October of 2018. | 14:47:12 | | 10 | Do you remember signing it? | 14:47:18 | | 11 | A. I don't recall. Too many years ago. | 14:47:22 | | 12 | Q. I gather, from what you said a moment ago, | 14:47:24 | | 13 | that if I were to ask you how you learned that the | 14:47:29 | | 14 | charter of Golden Spring had become inoperative and | 14:47:38 | | 15 | void, you would say it was -- it was from the | 14:47:41 | | 16 | attorney you mentioned; is that right? | 14:47:45 | | 17 | A. I read this from the exhibit you present to | 14:47:50 | | 18 | me. And the attorney's name, Jerry Shulman, is on | 14:47:56 | | 19 | that. Obviously, my understanding, he was working on | 14:48:02 | | 20 | this before. | 14:48:05 | | 21 | Q. Okay. Did -- do you recall having | 14:48:06 | | 22 | conversations with Mr. Shulman? | 14:48:08 | | 23 | A. I don't recall. | 14:48:11 | | 24 | Q. And you recall Mr. Shulman -- that is | 14:48:12 | | 25 | S-h-u-l-m, like Mary, a-n. | 14:48:18 | | | | Page 171 |

| 1 | You recall him being a lawyer at | 14:48:22 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Williams & Connolly; is that right? | 14:48:25 | | 3 | A. He is attorney of William Connolly, yes. | 14:48:28 | | 4 | Q. Okay. And did you say -- make sure I heard | 14:48:31 | | 5 | you correctly. | 14:48:34 | | 6 | Did you say that -- that he and | 14:48:34 | | 7 | Williams & Connolly represented Qiang Guo? | 14:48:38 | | 8 | A. In these .pdf -- in these exhibit, | 14:48:41 | | 9 | William Connolly, Jerry Shulman -- Jerry represents | 14:48:51 | | 10 | Golden Spring Limited also. | 14:48:56 | | 11 | Q. Okay. Did -- did Mr. Shulman represent | 14:48:58 | | 12 | Qiang Guo? | 14:49:01 | | 13 | A. I -- | 14:49:02 | | 14 | Q. Because I believe that is what you said | 14:49:06 | | 15 | a few minutes ago. I'm just trying to make sure | 14:49:08 | | 16 | I heard you correctly. | 14:49:11 | | 17 | A. I believe so. | 14:49:13 | | 18 | Q. Okay. To your knowledge, did Mr. Shulman of | 14:49:14 | | 19 | Williams & Connolly represent Ho Wan Kwok? | 14:49:19 | | 20 | A. I don't know that. | 14:49:22 | | 21 | Q. Okay. The -- the document that is on the | 14:49:25 | | 22 | screen there says that the reason the charter became | 14:49:31 | | 23 | inoperative and void was for nonpayment of taxes | 14:49:37 | | 24 | and/or failure to file a complete annual report. | 14:49:42 | | 25 | Do you know which of those reasons, or both | 14:49:50 | | | | Page 172 |

Veritext Legal Solutions 866 299-5127

| 1 | reasons, were why the charter of Golden Spring became | 14:49:55 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | inoperative and void? | 14:50:03 | | 3 | A. As I said, before me, what happened I don't | 14:50:05 | | 4 | know. But since I was appointed, Golden Spring never | 14:50:14 | | 5 | has this problem. | 14:50:20 | | 6 | Q. Okay. Well, it apparently had the problem | 14:50:21 | | 7 | for six months after you were appointed because the | 14:50:24 | | 8 | certificate of revival wasn't filed until October; so | 14:50:28 | | 9 | I'll ask the same question. And maybe you don't | 14:50:35 | | 10 | know. It is okay if you don't know, but all I can do | 14:50:37 | | 11 | is ask. | 14:50:40 | | 12 | Do you know what the reason was why the | 14:50:41 | | 13 | charter became inoperative and void? | 14:50:45 | | 14 | A. I don't know the reason, but I am not able | 14:50:53 | | 15 | to fix everything that happened before me from day | 14:50:56 | | 16 | one I was appointed; right? | 14:51:00 | | 17 | So the six months, that is a fair time. But | 14:51:02 | | 18 | I need to spend on time and then start to catch up | 14:51:04 | | 19 | and fix what happened before me. | 14:51:08 | | 20 | Q. Yeah. And thank you. | 14:51:09 | | 21 | You requested a short break. | 14:51:19 | | 22 | MR. HARBACH: And why don't we take that | 14:51:21 | | 23 | now. | 14:51:23 | | 24 | Just so everybody knows -- I hesitate to say | 14:51:24 | | 25 | it, but I'm close to finishing up. Why don't we take | 14:51:28 | | | | Page 173 |

| 1 | a break until 3:00 o'clock. | 14:51:33 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We are going off the | 14:51:36 | | 3 | record. | 14:51:37 | | 4 | The time is 2:51 p.m. | 14:51:37 | | 5 | (Short recess taken.) | 15:02:54 | | 6 | THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We are back on the | 15:02:54 | | 7 | record. | 15:02:57 | | 8 | The time is 3:02. | 15:02:57 | | 9 | MR. HARBACH: Apologies, everyone. There | 15:03:28 | | 10 | was a loud announcement on our loudspeakers here. | 15:03:30 | | 11 | That is why I remained muted. | 15:03:34 | | 12 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 15:03:34 | | 13 | Q. One cleanup question, Ms. Wang, before we | 15:03:38 | | 14 | proceed to the next topic. | 15:03:42 | | 15 | Could you describe one successful investment | 15:03:44 | | 16 | that Golden Spring (New York) has made since you have | 15:03:49 | | 17 | been president? | 15:03:53 | | 18 | A. Since I was appointed as a president; so the | 15:03:55 | | 19 | first job, of course, is build up the entire team and | 15:04:10 | | 20 | then start back to the operation. And then we did | 15:04:13 | | 21 | have some projects in discussion and then develop. | 15:04:22 | | 22 | But because of a Pacific Alliance branded lawsuit, | 15:04:26 | | 23 | I mean, our bank balance was very seriously hurt; so | 15:04:35 | | 24 | we were not able to complete the full investment | 15:04:39 | | 25 | project. But we did have some -- very prospective | 15:04:43 | | | | |

| 1 | one before. | 15:04:49 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Okay. Leaving aside the prospective one, is | 15:04:50 | | 3 | there any investment project that Golden Spring has | 15:04:55 | | 4 | done that has succeeded since you have been | 15:05:02 | | 5 | president? | 15:05:05 | | 6 | A. As I just explained, because our banking | 15:05:06 | | 7 | relationship was hurted by Pacific Alliance; so we | 15:05:10 | | 8 | were not able to complete a full successful | 15:05:16 | | 9 | project -- investment project. | 15:05:20 | | 10 | Q. Okay. So -- so the answer is no? | 15:05:22 | | 11 | A. Correct. | 15:05:25 | | 12 | Q. Okay. Did you know Qiang Guo before you | 15:05:26 | | 13 | became an officer and director of Golden Spring | 15:05:37 | | 14 | (New York) Limited? | 15:05:42 | | 15 | A. Yes. | 15:05:42 | | 16 | Q. Okay. Can you describe for me one | 15:05:42 | | 17 | successful business enterprise that Qiang Guo has | 15:05:48 | | 18 | launched since you have known him. | 15:05:54 | | 19 | A. I don't want to put his business, any | 15:05:57 | | 20 | specific name, at any risk for obvious reason. But | 15:06:06 | | 21 | what I can tell you is that he has been very | 15:06:10 | | 22 | successful in the investment world for -- in -- in | 15:06:13 | | 23 | all of -- in different countries. | 15:06:19 | | 24 | Q. And isn't it true that the -- the money that | 15:06:21 | | 25 | he got to invest came from his father? | 15:06:25 | | | | |

| 1 | A. No. | | 15:06:30 | |---|-----------|---------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. | Where did it come from? | 15:06:31 | | 3 | A. | It come from his own successful investment. | 15:06:33 | | 4 | Q. | Okay. I'm asking about the money that he | 15:06:42 |

| 5 | originally invested to become successful, didn't that | 15:06:46 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 6 | come from his father? | 15:06:52 | | 7 | A. No. | 15:06:54 | | 8 | Q. Okay. Where did it come from? | 15:06:55 | | 9 | A. What I -- what I learned is that it come | 15:06:58 | | 10 | from his family -- his extended family. | 15:07:05 |

11 Q. Who told you that? 15:07:08

12 A. I learned from him. 15:07:12

13 Q. That is what he told you? 15:07:14

| 14 | A. (Nods head.) | 15:07:17 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 15 | Q. Okay. Next subject, do you remember earlier | 15:07:21 | | 16 | in our time today I explained to you that there was | 15:07:28 | | 17 | a difference between the -- the DIP loan, which we | 15:07:31 | | 18 | just talked about for some time, and then also loans | 15:07:35 | | 19 | to fund litigation? Do you remember that? | 15:07:39 | | 20 | A. Yes. | 15:07:43 | | 21 | Q. Okay. And so now I want to talk about that | 15:07:45 | | 22 | second category, which is the loans that | 15:07:50 | | 23 | Golden Spring (New York) has made to Ho Wan Kwok for | 15:07:55 | | 24 | litigation. | 15:08:02 |

25 Okay? 15:08:04

| 1 | A. | Yes. | 15:08:06 | |----|----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. | Okay. So I -- for -- for right now I'm not | 15:08:06 | | 3 | | talking about the DIP loan. | 15:08:09 | | 4 | | Do you understand? | 15:08:11 | | 5 | A. | Yes. | 15:08:12 | | 6 | Q. | Okay. According to Mr. Ho Wan Kwok, | 15:08:15 | | 7 | | Golden Spring (New York) has loaned him approximately | 15:08:23 | | 8 | | \$21 million to pay for litigation costs. | 15:08:29 | | 9 | | My question to you is are you aware of that? | 15:08:35 | | 10 | A. | Yes. | 15:08:39 | | 11 | Q. | Okay. Who requested those loans? | 15:08:43 | | 12 | A. | Who requested those loans? You mean the -- | 15:08:47 | | 13 | | I mean, can you explain more about the question? | 15:08:59 | | 14 | Q. | Who requested that Golden Spring (New York) | 15:09:05 | | 15 | | Limited would make those loans to cover | 15:09:10 | | 16 | | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok's litigation costs? | 15:09:16 | | 17 | A. | I believe they borrowed -- requested from | 15:09:21 | | 18 | | Mr. Qiang Guo directly, the owner of Golden Spring. | 15:09:28 | | 19 | Q. | By the borrower, you mean Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? | 15:09:38 | | 20 | A. | That's right. | 15:09:38 | | 21 | Q. | Are you cap- -- withdrawn. | 15:09:44 | | 22 | | So father asked son to make the loans. | 15:09:45 | | 23 | | Is that what you understand? | 15:09:52 | | 24 | A. | Yes. | 15:09:54 | | 25 | Q. | Okay. Who approved those loans for | 15:09:54 | | | | | Page 177 |

They were approved by both Mr. Qiang Guo and | 15:10:06 | | 3 | myself, as the president of Golden Spring. | 15:10:13 | | 4 | Q. How did you become aware of the loans that | 15:10:18 | | 5 | were requested? | 15:10:20 | | 6 | A. I heard from Mr. Qiang Guo. | 15:10:22 | | 7 | Q. Did you have any conversations with | 15:10:28 | | 8 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok about those loans? | 15:10:30 | | 9 | A. No. | 15:10:34 | | 10 | I don't recall. | 15:10:37 | | 11 | Q. Okay. You never asked him what the money | 15:10:38 | | 12 | was for? | 15:10:43 | | 13 | A. No. | 15:10:44 | | 14 | That was a conversation between | 15:10:47 | | 15 | Mr. Qiang Guo and Mr. Ho Wan Kwok. | 15:10:48 | | 16 | Q. Okay. Were any of the litigation loans that | 15:10:51 | | 17 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok asked for refused? | 15:11:04 | | 18 | A. Yes. | 15:11:12 | | 19 | Q. By whom? | 15:11:14 | | 20 | A. Refused by Mr. Qiang Guo. | 15:11:17 | | 21 | Q. Did you agree, in your capacity as | 15:11:20 | | 22 | president, that it should have been refused? | 15:11:25 | | 23 | A. I am aligned with Mr. Qiang Guo's rejection. | 15:11:29 | | 24 | Q. Okay. Are you ever not aligned with his | 15:11:35 | | 25 | decisions about matters involving millions of | 15:11:38 | | | | Page 178 |

| 1 | dollars? | 15:11:42 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. Yes. | 15:11:43 | | 3 | Q. Okay. Can you describe occasion on which | 15:11:47 | | 4 | your opinion prevailed? | 15:11:51 | | 5 | A. For example, I make all the decision on the | 15:11:56 | | 6 | daily operation, including outfit -- | 15:12:00 | | 7 | Q. I'm not asking about -- I'm not asking about | 15:12:04 | | 8 | daily operations. I'm asking about a decision | 15:12:07 | | 9 | involving more than a million dollars. | 15:12:11 | | 10 | Has there ever been -- | 15:12:15 | | 11 | A. I don't understand what you are asking | 15:12:17 | | 12 | about. More than a million dollars is very general. | 15:12:20 | | 13 | I mean, I don't understand what you are asking, sir. | 15:12:23 | | 14 | Q. Okay. You just told me a moment ago that | 15:12:25 | | 15 | there have been occasions when you have disagreed | 15:12:28 | | 16 | with Mr. Qiang Guo; right? | 15:12:31 | | 17 | A. That's right. | 15:12:33 | | 18 | Q. Okay. My question to you is has there ever | 15:12:34 | | 19 | been a disagreement between you and him about | 15:12:38 | | 20 | a decision that involved more than a million dollars? | 15:12:43 | | 21 | A. More than a million dollars? | 15:12:48 | | 22 | Q. Yes. | 15:12:52 | | 23 | A. I mean, we did have some disagreements in | 15:12:53 | | 24 | the very beginning about some potential investment | 15:12:58 | | 25 | project; so we didn't get agreement, and he was | 15:13:01 | | | | Page 179 |

| 1 | convinced, if that is what you were talking about. | 15:13:05 | |----|----------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Well, I'm not talking about anything in | 15:13:11 | | 3 | particular. I'm just asking. And I'm trying to get | 15:13:15 | | 4 | an understanding of what real authority you have as | 15:13:18 | | 5 | president and treasurer of Golden Spring (New York) | 15:13:21 | | 6 | Limited. Because what you have told me thus far is | 15:13:24 | | 7 | that the DIP loan was approved by Mr. Qiang Guo | 15:13:28 | | 8 | without your input and that it was enough for you | 15:13:33 | | 9 | that he told you that he would take care of it. And | 15:13:38 | | 10 | when it comes to the litigation funding, you have | 15:13:42 | | 11 | told me that father asked son and that you have never | 15:13:45 | | 12 | spoken to father about it, not even to ask him what | 15:13:49 | | 13 | the money was for. | 15:13:51 | | 14 | So what I'm trying to understand is what | 15:13:53 | | 15 | exactly your role is. I mean, I know what your | 15:13:56 | | 16 | titles are, but I'm trying to understand what your | 15:14:00 | | 17 | role is; so that is why I'm asking these questions. | 15:14:03 | | 18 | And so my question is is there an occasion | 15:14:08 | | 19 | you can point to where you disagreed with | 15:14:13 | | 20 | Mr. Qiang Guo over a decision that involved more than | 15:14:18 | | 21 | a million dollars? | 15:14:23 | | 22 | A. Yes. | 15:14:26 | | 23 | Q. Okay. How recently? | 15:14:27 | | 24 | A. What do you mean, how recently? I already | 15:14:30 | | 25 | explained, like, regarding when I was appointed | 15:14:35 | | | | Page 180 |

| 1 | and -- | 15:14:38 | |----|----------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Okay. | 15:14:39 | | 3 | A. -- disagreements about investment projects. | 15:14:39 | | 4 | I am talking about real estate or investment project | 15:14:43 | | 5 | in New York. | 15:14:47 | | 6 | Q. Okay. And that was -- | 15:14:47 | | 7 | A. I didn't convince him. I didn't convince | 15:14:49 | | 8 | him. They are all more than a million projects; | 15:14:51 | | 9 | right? | 15:14:54 | | 10 | And I -- and I just testified this | 15:14:54 | | 11 | afternoon -- this morning, and he made decision about | 15:14:56 | | 12 | the vehicles, which I don't align with that. But, of | 15:15:00 | | 13 | course, we didn't get agreement, and he purchased the | 15:15:06 | | 14 | cars. Because I don't agree with that; so that is | 15:15:09 | | 15 | the reason why I don't want to get too much of | 15:15:12 | | 16 | details, even as the president. We are a family | 15:15:14 | | 17 | office; right? | 15:15:18 | | 18 | If we don't get aligned and -- that he is | 15:15:19 | | 19 | the owner of the company about the director; right? | 15:15:21 | | 20 | So he made the decision about the vehicles, | 15:15:25 | | 21 | and then I made the decision about the investment | 15:15:30 | | 22 | opportunity. And then we did have disagreement. We | 15:15:33 | | 23 | take care of -- we take care of the result by the | 15:15:35 | | 24 | end. | 15:15:37 | | 25 | Q. Okay. All right. And so there -- I think | 15:15:37 | | | | Page 181 |

| 1 | I understand your answer, but there are two things | 15:15:39 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | that I just want to clarify and make sure of. | 15:15:43 | | 3 | Number one, examples of disagreement. | 15:15:45 | | 4 | I asked you about timing. You just explained that | 15:15:48 | | 5 | one of those examples was when you were appointed in | 15:15:52 | | 6 | 2018 the -- you mentioned a real estate project. | 15:15:55 | | 7 | Understood. | 15:15:59 | | 8 | You also mentioned the vehicles just now | 15:16:00 | | 9 | that we were talking about earlier today. | 15:16:03 | | 10 | Any other examples that you can think of? | 15:16:07 | | 11 | A. You are asking me about more than a million, | 15:16:12 | | 12 | which -- I mean, the advisement project, they are | 15:16:19 | | 13 | more than a million. | 15:16:23 | | 14 | Q. I understand. And I got that. | 15:16:24 | | 15 | I'm asking whether there are any other | 15:16:26 | | 16 | examples, besides those two. | 15:16:29 | | 17 | A. We are a family office in here. If you are | 15:16:32 | | 18 | asking about his father's legal thing, I mean that | 15:16:39 | | 19 | his father -- as per Mr. Qiang Guo advise me, his | 15:16:44 | | 20 | father might want to bring some litigation, which he | 15:16:47 | | 21 | was asking my advice, which I give him my advice and | 15:16:51 | | 22 | then he took it to support his father or not. That | 15:16:56 | | 23 | happened also. | 15:16:59 | | 24 | Q. With respect -- with respect to the -- the | 15:17:00 | | 25 | vehicles, I believe you said that even though you | 15:17:05 | | | | |

Veritext Legal Solutions 866 299-5127

1 disagreed, Mr. Qiang Guo decided to buy the vehicles 15:17:09 2 anyway; right? 15:17:14 3 A. That's right. 15:17:16 4 Q. Okay. And isn't that true that, in general, 15:17:19 5 if you disagree, as you said, Mr. Qiang Guo is going 15:17:29 6 to be the one who decides, according to you? 15:17:34 7 A. No. 15:17:38 8 It is -- it happened on his side also. If 15:17:41 9 I don't disagree, he will go with me. 15:17:46 10 Q. Okay. Can you think of an example where you 15:17:49 11 have disagreed and your point of view prevailed and 15:17:57 12 the decision at issue involved more than a million 15:18:10 13 dollars? 15:18:14 14 A. Sir, I just replied to your question. Like, 15:18:17 15 the real estate property investment project. 15:18:21 16 Q. Besides -- besides that one. 15:18:25 17 A. I mean, as I explained, that is our business 15:18:29 18 plan; right? 15:18:32 19 We do real estate investment. 15:18:33 20 I already testified that as a family office; 15:18:35 21 right? 15:18:38 22 Q. I'm -- I'm going to interpret your answer as 15:18:39 23 that is the only example you can think of. 15:18:42 24 A. I don't agree. I don't agree. This is not 15:18:44 25 my answer. I give you my answer very clear. 15:18:47 Page 183

| 1 | Q. Well, then tell me -- tell me another | 15:18:50 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | example then. Tell me another example of a decision | 15:18:54 | | 3 | involving more than a million dollars with which you | 15:18:57 | | 4 | disagree and your opinion prevailed, besides the real | 15:19:00 | | 5 | estate project that you have already mentioned three | 15:19:05 | | 6 | times. | 15:19:08 | | 7 | Any other example? | 15:19:09 | | 8 | A. I answered already. | 15:19:12 | | 9 | Q. Are any of the \$21 million in litigation | 15:19:14 | | 10 | loans to Golden Spring (New York) expected to be | 15:19:29 | | 11 | repaid? | 15:19:32 | | 12 | A. Yes. | 15:19:34 | | 13 | Q. Are any of the loans in writing? | 15:19:34 | | 14 | A. Yes. | 15:19:41 | | 15 | Q. Have you seen the -- the documents for any | 15:19:41 | | 16 | of the loans? | 15:19:49 | | 17 | A. Yes. | 15:19:53 | | 18 | Q. Where are they? | 15:19:53 | | 19 | A. They are in my office. | 15:19:55 | | 20 | Q. On East 64th Street or wherever? | 15:20:02 | | 21 | A. What do you mean, wherever? | 15:20:09 | | 22 | Q. I'm sorry. I'm trying to avoid using the | 15:20:11 | | 23 | exact address. | 15:20:15 | | 24 | Are they at the family office in | 15:20:15 | | 25 | New York City? | 15:20:18 | | | | Page 184 |

| 1 | A. | I believe in the morning of -- this morning | 15:20:18 | |----|---------------|----------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | | I already testified my address, which you have it, | 15:20:21 | | 3 | sir. | It is on the 64th Street office, Golden Spring | 15:20:25 | | 4 | | (New York)'s office. | 15:20:29 | | 5 | Q. | Okay. | 15:20:29 | | 6 | A. | You don't need to avoid mentioning the | 15:20:30 | | 7 | address, sir. | You have it. | 15:20:34 | | 8 | Q. | Well, forgive me for being extra careful in | 15:20:36 | | 9 | | light of your security concerns. | 15:20:40 | | 10 | A. | Thank you. | 15:20:43 | | 11 | Q. | Is that -- is that the address where the | 15:20:44 | | 12 | | loan documents are located? | 15:20:45 | | 13 | A. | Correct. | 15:20:47 | | 14 | Q. | How many such loan documents are there? | 15:20:47 | | 15 | A. | Several of them. | 15:20:51 | | 16 | Q. | More than ten? | 15:20:52 | | 17 | A. | Several of them. | 15:20:58 | | 18 | Q. | Do you know whether it is more than ten or | 15:21:00 | | 19 | not? | | 15:21:02 | | 20 | A. | I replied, several of them. | 15:21:04 | | 21 | Q. | Did you sign them? | 15:21:07 | | 22 | A. | Yes. | 15:21:11 | | 23 | Q. | Who signed them for the borrower? | 15:21:12 | | 24 | A. | The borrower signed it. | 15:21:19 | | 25 | Q. | Who is the borrower? | 15:21:23 | | | | | Page 185 |

| 1 | A. Mr. Ho Wan Kwok. | 15:21:25 | |----|------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Q. Okay. Were you present when he signed them? | 15:21:27 | | 3 | A. I don't recall. | 15:21:30 | | 4 | Q. Okay. How many of the \$21 million in loan | 15:21:33 | | 5 | are undocumented? | 15:21:42 | | 6 | A. I don't recall. I couldn't give you the | 15:21:44 | | 7 | precise number. | 15:21:50 | | 8 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. Well, we'll -- we'll | 15:21:51 | | 9 | request -- Scott, we'll request that Golden Spring | 15:21:54 | | 10 | (New York) Limited immediately produce to us all of | 15:21:59 | | 11 | the documents that the witness has just described, | 15:22:02 | | 12 | namely, the loan agreements substantiating any | 15:22:09 | | 13 | portion of the \$21 million in litigation loans that | 15:22:13 | | 14 | the debtor has taken out from Golden Spring | 15:22:16 | | 15 | (New York). | 15:22:20 | | 16 | MR. ROSEN: I understand the request, and we | 15:22:21 | | 17 | will take it under advisement. | 15:22:23 | | 18 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. | 15:22:25 | | 19 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 15:22:29 | | 20 | Q. Ms. Wang, are you familiar with the terms of | 15:22:29 | | 21 | any of those loans, meaning the litigation loans? | 15:22:32 | | 22 | A. They are loans. They have interest. They | 15:22:36 | | 23 | should be paid back. | 15:22:43 | | 24 | Q. What interest rate? | 15:22:44 | | 25 | A. I couldn't remember clearly. I couldn't | 15:22:46 | | | | Page 186 |

1 remember clearly. Like, 2, 3 percent. I couldn't 15:22:53 2 remember. 15:22:56 3 Q. Who negotiated the interest rate on those 15:22:56 4 loans for Golden Spring (New York)? 15:22:59 5 A. Me and Mr. Qiang Guo, we designed it. 15:23:01 6 Q. Who negotiated with the -- the borrower, 15:23:06 7 Mr. Ho Wan Kwok, for the interest rate on these 15:23:13 8 loans? 15:23:16 9 A. I don't recall. 15:23:18 10 Q. Did you communicate with Mr. Ho Wan Kwok 15:23:21 11 about the interest rate on these loans? 15:23:26 12 A. I don't recall. 15:23:29 13 Q. Is the interest rate the same on all of the 15:23:32 14 loans? 15:23:38 15 A. As far as I know, I remember, yes. 15:23:39 16 Q. Is the total figure of approximately 15:23:45 17 \$21 million in litigation loans about correct, to 15:23:50 18 your recollection? 15:23:56 19 A. Approximately number -- yes. Correct. 15:23:57 20 Q. Okay. And approximately how much of that 15:24:02 21 21 million is in documented loans? 15:24:05 22 A. I don't have it on the top of my head. 15:24:08 23 MR. ROSEN: Can I ask, David, can you please 15:24:18 24 clarify. 15:24:21 25 When you say documented loans, what 15:24:22 Page 187

| 1 | specifically do you mean by documented? | 15:24:25 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | MR. HARBACH: Sure. | 15:24:28 | | 3 | What I mean is that the witness has | 15:24:30 | | 4 | indicated earlier in her testimony that some of the | 15:24:34 | | 5 | loans were in writing and that there were loan | 15:24:38 | | 6 | agreements; so that is how I interpreted her answer. | 15:24:44 | | 7 | And I -- and I gather that some of them were and some | 15:24:47 | | 8 | of them weren't. And so when I say documented loans, | 15:24:50 | | 9 | I mean the loans for which there is a written loan | 15:24:54 | | 10 | agreement that she signed and that the borrower | 15:24:58 | | 11 | signed. | 15:25:03 | | 12 | Does that help? | 15:25:05 | | 13 | MR. ROSEN: Yes. | 15:25:06 | | 14 | Thank you. | 15:25:08 | | 15 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. | 15:25:09 | | 16 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 15:25:10 | | 17 | Q. So Ms. Wang, does that change -- that | 15:25:10 | | 18 | doesn't change any of your answers, I assume. | 15:25:13 | | 19 | Did you understand what I meant? | 15:25:15 | | 20 | A. I replied my question. That is the best of | 15:25:17 | | 21 | my knowledge for this second. | 15:25:22 | | 22 | Q. Okay. So just to make -- just to -- to | 15:25:24 | | 23 | recap and make sure I understand. | 15:25:27 | | 24 | There is approximately \$21 million in | 15:25:31 | | 25 | litigation loans that have been made by Golden Spring | 15:25:35 | | | | Page 188 |

| 1 | (New York) to Mr. Ho Wan Kwok; correct? | 15:25:39 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. Correct. | 15:25:41 | | 3 | Q. And some of those loans are -- are | 15:25:47 | | 4 | documented, by which I mean there is a written loan | 15:25:50 | | 5 | agreement; correct? | 15:25:55 | | 6 | A. Correct. | 15:25:57 | | 7 | Besides that, we do have notes, like, on our | 15:25:59 | | 8 | financial book that recorded as a loan also. | 15:26:06 | | 9 | Q. Okay. And then some of those loans do not | 15:26:08 | | 10 | have a -- a loan agreement in writing; correct? | 15:26:11 | | 11 | A. But in our financial records it is | 15:26:16 | | 12 | documented as a loan; correct. | 15:26:20 | | 13 | Q. I understand. I understand. | 15:26:22 | | 14 | But my point is for those, there is not | 15:26:24 | | 15 | a loan agreement that you signed and that | 15:26:28 | | 16 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok signed that contains an interest rate | 15:26:31 | | 17 | and formal terms; right? | 15:26:36 | | 18 | A. Correct. | 15:26:40 | | 19 | There were some other loans between | 15:26:41 | | 20 | Mr. Qiang Guo and Mr. Ho Wan Kwok also. | 15:26:45 | | 21 | Q. Okay. | 15:26:47 | | 22 | A. So financial notes was the loan agreement | 15:26:48 | | 23 | and then with our loan -- | 15:26:52 | | 24 | Q. Okay. | 15:26:55 | | 25 | A. -- agreement. | 15:26:56 | | | | Page 189 |

| 1 | Q. And so for the ones -- not the ones that | 15:26:57 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | were oral, but the ones that are in writing, you said | 15:26:59 | | 3 | those documents are currently at the East 64th Street | 15:27:04 | | 4 | office; correct? | 15:27:12 | | 5 | A. Correct. | 15:27:13 | | 6 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. So Scott, it is those | 15:27:15 | | 7 | documents that we are requesting. | 15:27:19 | | 8 | MR. ROSEN: I understand. | 15:27:20 | | 9 | Thank you. | 15:27:22 | | 10 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 15:27:22 | | 11 | Q. Okay. Now, Ms. Wang, with respect to the | 15:27:23 | | 12 | oral loans, who recorded them? | 15:27:26 | | 13 | A. What do you mean, who recorded them? For | 15:27:31 | | 14 | Golden Spring? | 15:27:34 | | 15 | Q. Yes, ma'am. | 15:27:34 | | 16 | I think you just mentioned a moment ago that | 15:27:35 | | 17 | even the loans that were not documented with a loan | 15:27:39 | | 18 | agreement were recorded on the books of Golden Spring | 15:27:41 | | 19 | (New York); right? | 15:27:46 | | 20 | A. Correct. | 15:27:47 | | 21 | Q. So I'm asking who recorded them on the | 15:27:47 | | 22 | books? | 15:27:50 | | 23 | A. Golden Spring's finance. | 15:27:51 | | 24 | Q. Okay. Was that at your direction? | 15:27:55 | | 25 | A. Correct. | 15:27:59 | | | | Page 190 |

| 1 | Q. How did you learn about the terms of those | 15:28:00 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | oral loans? | 15:28:04 | | 3 | A. I got to know from Mr. Qiang Guo also. | 15:28:07 | | 4 | Q. Were you personally involved in negotiating | 15:28:10 | | 5 | any or -- or tendering any oral loans to | 15:28:16 | | 6 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? | 15:28:22 | | 7 | A. I didn't attend the -- the conversation | 15:28:23 | | 8 | between Mr. Qiang Guo and his father, no. I didn't. | 15:28:30 | | 9 | Q. Has Mr. Ho Wan Kwok ever asked you for | 15:28:33 | | 10 | a loan from Golden Spring? | 15:28:36 | | 11 | A. I don't recall. | 15:28:38 | | 12 | Q. Does that mean it is possible that he has? | 15:28:40 | | 13 | A. I don't recall. | 15:28:49 | | 14 | Q. With apologies if I asked you this question | 15:28:57 | | 15 | before. I honestly don't remember. | 15:29:00 | | 16 | Have you ever spoken to Mr. Ho Wan Kwok | 15:29:02 | | 17 | about any of the litigation loans, whether oral or | 15:29:06 | | 18 | written? | 15:29:11 | | 19 | A. I don't recall. | 15:29:12 | | 20 | Q. Were you personally involved in helping | 15:29:13 | | 21 | Mr. Kwok fill out his bankruptcy schedules and his | 15:29:33 | | 22 | statement of financial affairs? | 15:29:38 | | 23 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. The witness is not | 15:29:41 | | 24 | here to testify in her personal capacity. I would | 15:29:44 | | 25 | ask you to rephrase the question. | 15:29:48 | | | | Page 191 |

| 1 | MR. HARBACH: Sure. | 15:29:50 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 15:29:51 | | 3 | Q. Was Golden Spring (New York) Limited | 15:29:52 | | 4 | involved in assisting Mr. Kwok in filling out his | 15:29:54 | | 5 | bankruptcy schedules or his statement of financial | 15:29:58 | | 6 | affairs? | 15:30:01 | | 7 | A. No. | 15:30:03 | | 8 | Q. What about Mr. Kwok's monthly operating | 15:30:04 | | 9 | reports? Do you know what those are? | 15:30:14 | | 10 | A. Yes. | 15:30:17 | | 11 | Q. Okay. Was anyone at Golden Spring | 15:30:20 | | 12 | (New York) involved in helping prepare | 15:30:24 | | 13 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok's monthly operating reports? | 15:30:28 | | 14 | A. We were requested to pull out his lifestyle | 15:30:31 | | 15 | expenses. That is, I directed Golden Spring to help. | 15:30:40 | | 16 | Q. Okay. Who made the request to you? | 15:30:47 | | 17 | A. I couldn't remember. Probably his attorney. | 15:30:49 | | 18 | I couldn't remember. | 15:30:57 | | 19 | Q. Okay. And if I understand you correctly, | 15:30:58 | | 20 | you directed one of your employees to assist? | 15:31:00 | | 21 | A. Correct. | 15:31:06 | | 22 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. And I'll just note for | 15:31:07 | | 23 | the record, Scott, that I won't ask who that person | 15:31:09 | | 24 | is because I understand that you will object on the | 15:31:17 | | 25 | same basis as before. And I'll just note that we | 15:31:20 | | | | Page 192 |

| 1 | continue to disagree with that objection. | 15:31:24 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | Is that okay? | 15:31:26 | | 3 | MR. ROSEN: Yes. | 15:31:27 | | 4 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 15:31:35 | | 5 | Q. Do you know what the firm Verdolino & Lowey | 15:31:35 | | 6 | is? | 15:31:42 | | 7 | A. Verdolino Lowey. | 15:31:43 | | 8 | Q. Have you ever heard of them? | 15:31:45 | | 9 | A. No. | 15:31:48 | | 10 | I don't recall. | 15:31:53 | | 11 | Q. Okay. Do you know who Craig Jalbert is? | 15:31:53 | | 12 | A. I don't know this name. | 15:31:59 | | 13 | Q. Okay. | 15:31:59 | | 14 | A. Craig Jalbert. | 15:32:02 | | 15 | Q. This may seem obvious from your earlier | 15:32:03 | | 16 | answer, but please bear with me. | 15:32:15 | | 17 | Leaving aside the person's name, is it true | 15:32:18 | | 18 | that there are personnel at Golden Spring (New York) | 15:32:26 | | 19 | Limited who could assist in compiling and calculating | 15:32:31 | | 20 | the lifestyle expenses of Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? | 15:32:40 | | 21 | A. Yes. | 15:32:48 | | 22 | Q. Focusing now just for a moment on those | 15:32:49 | | 23 | lifestyle expenses. | 15:33:07 | | 24 | Okay? | 15:33:10 | | 25 | A. Yes. | 15:33:12 | | | | Page 193 |

| 1 | Q. Has -- has Mr. Kwok ever made any requests | 15:33:12 | |----|-------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | to you to have Golden Spring (New York) pay for | 15:33:21 | | 3 | expenses related to his lifestyle? | 15:33:28 | | 4 | Excuse me. | 15:33:31 | | 5 | A. I don't recall, but it is possible. | 15:33:33 | | 6 | Q. Okay. What I'm asking about is, you know, | 15:33:39 | | 7 | hey, Yvette, I need Golden Spring to pay for me to | 15:33:46 | | 8 | drive to Manhattan or I need Golden Spring to pay for | 15:33:52 | | 9 | this suit that I need for my trip to court -- things | 15:33:57 | | 10 | like that. | 15:34:02 | | 11 | Does he make requests to you like that? | 15:34:03 | | 12 | A. I don't recall. But there was some requests | 15:34:06 | | 13 | that he made -- he made to me, like, as before, like, | 15:34:15 | | 14 | buy some very expensive, like, furniture, I believe. | 15:34:19 | | 15 | And I -- obviously, it is more than his lifestyle. | 15:34:22 | | 16 | I report it to Mr. Qiang Guo, and Mr. Qiang Guo | 15:34:26 | | 17 | reject it -- | 15:34:29 | | 18 | Q. Okay. | 15:34:29 | | 19 | A. -- so I reject it to him also. | 15:34:30 | | 20 | Q. Right. | 15:34:32 | | 21 | A. Yeah. | 15:34:34 | | 22 | Q. I'm asking about, you know, day-to-day | 15:34:34 | | 23 | stuff, like the -- however -- you know, I don't mind | 15:34:37 | | 24 | telling you it has been a real mystery to all of us | 15:34:43 | | 25 | creditors and, I think, to the U.S. Trustee how | 15:34:48 | | | | Page 194 |

Veritext Legal Solutions 866 299-5127

| 1 | Mr. Kwok pays for things. We really have had | 15:34:52 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | a difficult time figuring out how that happens. And | 15:34:55 | | 3 | so I am hoping that you can help me understand | 15:34:58 | | 4 | a little bit because, according to him, Golden Spring | 15:35:01 | | 5 | (New York) Limited pays for all this stuff. And | 15:35:04 | | 6 | since you are the president and treasurer of | 15:35:07 | | 7 | Golden Spring (New York) Limited, I'm hoping you can | 15:35:09 | | 8 | help us understand. | 15:35:14 | | 9 | So I know we talked earlier about your | 15:35:15 | | 10 | review of credit card bills and -- and so forth, but | 15:35:17 | | 11 | for something like that, say Mr. -- Mr. Ho Wan Kwok | 15:35:21 | | 12 | needs to take a trip into Manhattan for some reason | 15:35:26 | | 13 | and he needs a car. | 15:35:30 | | 14 | Does he come to you? I mean, you say you | 15:35:33 | | 15 | run the day-to-day operations of Golden Spring. | 15:35:36 | | 16 | Does he come to you or -- or send you | 15:35:40 | | 17 | a message and say, hey, I need a car set up? I mean, | 15:35:42 | | 18 | how does that work? | 15:35:46 | | 19 | A. Okay. So to reply to this specific | 15:35:48 | | 20 | question, as the president of a company, I mean, | 15:35:50 | | 21 | I already don't deal with this kind of very small | 15:35:53 | | 22 | request from him; so Golden Spring does have | 15:35:57 | | 23 | a security which, as you understood probably, sir, | 15:36:01 | | 24 | like as per Mr. Qiang, was a regiment because | 15:36:06 | | 25 | Mr. Qiang would -- does care the most is the life | 15:36:13 | | | | |

| 1 | safety of his father; so the communication that | 15:36:17 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | happens between Ho Wan Kwok and the security to | 15:36:21 | | 3 | arrange the trip to Manhattan; so that one I don't | 15:36:22 | | 4 | need to get involved because it is too small for me. | 15:36:26 | | 5 | Q. Okay. And then what about other day-to-day | 15:36:30 | | 6 | lifestyle needs, like in a recent proceeding the -- | 15:36:34 | | 7 | the U.S. Trustee asked about what if he needed to buy | 15:36:42 | | 8 | a pair of shoes? | 15:36:47 | | 9 | Just walk us through how that happens. | 15:36:49 | | 10 | A. I don't even -- I mean, yes. I review some | 15:36:52 | | 11 | of the credit card bill or the bills, but I do have | 15:36:56 | | 12 | my finance. I mean, I don't need to do finance job. | 15:37:00 | | 13 | I don't even remember to see very often he buys | 15:37:04 | | 14 | shoes. I mean -- | 15:37:09 | | 15 | Q. Does he buy anything? | 15:37:12 | | 16 | A. Yes. | 15:37:14 | | 17 | He buy -- he buy clothes, yes. | 15:37:16 | | 18 | Q. Okay. So how does he buy clothes? | 15:37:20 | | 19 | A. He buy clothes from the shops, I believe. | 15:37:23 | | 20 | Q. Okay. Does he physically go to the shops or | 15:37:28 | | 21 | does he shop online? | 15:37:32 | | 22 | MR. HARBACH: Scott, I promise I am just | 15:37:34 | | 23 | trying to understand. I don't -- I won't dwell here | 15:37:37 | | 24 | unnecessarily. | 15:37:39 | | 25 | /// | | | | | Page 196 |

1 BY MR. HARBACH: 15:37:40 2 Q. Go ahead, Ms. Wang. 15:37:41 3 A. I don't get involves in his personal life; 15:37:43 4 so I cannot say. 15:37:47 5 Q. So you don't -- you don't know whether he 15:37:48 6 likes to go in the stores to shop or he shops online? 15:37:51 7 A. I do see bills from the shops, which 15:37:57 8 I verify. I have the finance verify that it was his 15:38:03 9 purchase. 15:38:08 10 Q. Okay. 15:38:08 11 A. We take care of that; so I don't need to 15:38:09 12 follow him -- 15:38:13 13 Q. All right. 15:38:13 14 A. -- where he goes; right? 15:38:14 15 So I don't know -- 15:38:14 16 Q. No. 15:38:17 17 I -- I know that. I'm not suggesting you 15:38:17 18 follow him. 15:38:19 19 What I'm really just trying to understand is 15:38:20 20 how does the transaction happen? Mr. Kwok walks into 15:38:23 21 Saks Fifth Avenue and sees a suit he wants to buy. 15:38:29 22 Let's just pretend that's what happens. 15:38:35 23 Okay? 15:38:37 24 And he is in there, and he says, I like that 15:38:38 25 suit. And he tries it on, and it looks good, and so 15:38:41

1 he wants to buy it. 15:38:45

2 What happens next? How does it get from 15:38:47

3 there to being on a bill that you see? 15:38:49

of 280

4 A. Oh, that doesn't happen often at all. That 15:38:54

| 5 | is number one. And that did happen before. Like, | 15:38:58 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 6 | sometimes I can see from the securities credit | 15:39:03 | | 7 | card -- debit card -- let me correct -- to see that | 15:39:07 | | 8 | purchase. And then, obviously, my finance will dive | 15:39:10 | | 9 | in and verify and confirm that he has purchased. But | 15:39:14 | | 10 | that does not happen often at all. | 15:39:17 | | 11 | Q. Okay. Well, you did mention that he buys | 15:39:21 | | 12 | clothes; right? | 15:39:24 | | 13 | A. Yes. | 15:39:27 | | 14 | Q. Okay. So you give me an example of how he | 15:39:28 | | 15 | will buy some clothes. | 15:39:34 | | 16 | If the Saks Fifth Avenue example doesn't | 15:39:36 | | 17 | happen very often, tell me what does happen. | 15:39:40 | | 18 | A. He just doesn't buy clothes very often, not | 15:39:43 | | 19 | only the shoes at Saks Fifth Avenue. | 15:39:49 | | 20 | Q. Does Mr. Kwok have a credit card? | 15:39:54 | | 21 | A. As far as I know, he doesn't have. At least | 15:40:07 | | 22 | Golden Spring never give him. | 15:40:12 | | 23 | Q. Does he have a debit card? | 15:40:14 | | 24 | A. Golden Spring didn't give him. | 15:40:17 | | 25 | Q. How do the things that he does purchase end | 15:40:20 | | | | Page 198 |

| 1 | up on a bill that you review? Tell me how that | 15:40:25 | |----|----------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | happens. | 15:40:30 | | 3 | A. For his clothes, I mean, I know, like, | 15:40:31 | | 4 | Mr. Qiang Guo, he has some shops in Manhattan. When | 15:40:36 | | 5 | he is in Manhattan he -- he -- I mean, quite often | 15:40:43 | | 6 | shopping there, and sometimes I saw the bill from the | 15:40:49 | | 7 | shop, which I -- obviously finance will need to | 15:40:52 | | 8 | verify. If not, Mr. Qiang Guo purchase. But, like, | 15:40:55 | | 9 | his father has purchased. That happened before; so | 15:40:59 | | 10 | like -- that is, like, in my understanding | 15:41:03 | | 11 | Mr. Qiang Guo took care of his father. | 15:41:06 | | 12 | Q. So Mr. Qiang Guo will buy something for his | 15:41:08 | | 13 | dad, finance it. | 15:41:12 | | 14 | Golden Spring will verify that how? By | 15:41:14 | | 15 | calling Mr. Qiang Guo and asking him? | 15:41:16 | | 16 | A. Sometimes we do that, yes. | 15:41:19 | | 17 | Q. Okay. And when Mr. Qiang Guo is in the UK, | 15:41:21 | | 18 | as you have told me is where he lives, how does that | 15:41:27 | | 19 | change things? How does Mr. -- Mr. Ho Wan Kwok buy | 15:41:31 | | 20 | something while his son is in the UK? | 15:41:36 | | 21 | A. What do you mean, change things? I mean, | 15:41:39 | | 22 | the shops obviously know Mr. Qiang Guo, whether he is | 15:41:43 | | 23 | in New York or not; so the father came and then | 15:41:47 | | 24 | shopping there. I mean, I don't know what is your | 15:41:52 | | 25 | question, sir. | 15:41:54 | | | | |

| 1 | Q. Okay. So I think you do know my question, | 15:41:55 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | and it is really not hard. But it seems to be really | 15:42:02 | | 3 | hard to get an answer to it. | 15:42:06 | | 4 | How does Mr. Ho Wan Kwok purchase things, | 15:42:10 | | 5 | and how does what -- something that he wants to buy | 15:42:20 | | 6 | and buys end up on a bill for you to review? And you | 15:42:23 | | 7 | have given me one example. | 15:42:27 | | 8 | You said there are times when Mr. Qiang Guo | 15:42:29 | | 9 | will purchase something, and it will then end up on | 15:42:31 | | 10 | a bill for you to review and verify; right? | 15:42:35 | | 11 | A. No. | 15:42:42 | | 12 | That is not my answer. You misunderstood | 15:42:42 | | 13 | me, sir. | 15:42:45 | | 14 | Q. Okay. Please explain. | 15:42:46 | | 15 | A. I will use my translator since you have been | 15:42:49 | | 16 | misunderstanding me along the way, which I don't feel | 15:42:53 | | 17 | you get this. Sorry. | 15:42:57 | | 18 | Like, can I have my interpreter -- | 15:43:01 | | 19 | Q. Absolutely. | 15:43:04 | | 20 | A. -- I mean, to help me. | 15:43:05 | | 21 | Q. Absolutely. | 15:43:06 | | 22 | MR. HARBACH: So for clarity of the record, | 15:43:07 | | 23 | Ms. Johnston, the question is I'm trying to | 15:43:09 | | 24 | understand how -- when Mr. Ho Wan Kwok wants to | 15:43:13 | | 25 | purchase something, how does it get -- from the | 15:43:16 | | | | Page 200 |

| 1 | decision by Mr. Ho Wan Kwok to purchase something, | 15:43:20 | |----|--------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | how does that end up on a bill that Ms. Wang sees? | 15:43:25 | | 3 | THE INTERPRETER: (Question interpreted.) | 15:43:29 | | 4 | THE WITNESS: (Through the Interpreter) | 15:43:29 | | 5 | Okay. First of all, when I say when I review bills, | 15:44:38 | | 6 | those were only in respect to Mr. Ho Wan Kwok's | 15:44:44 | | 7 | purchase for clothing and shoes. And Mr. Qiang Guo | 15:44:47 | | 8 | has certain shops he goes to on a regular basis; so | 15:44:51 | | 9 | if his father were to shop there, then the shop would | 15:44:57 | | 10 | know to send the bill to New York Golden Spring; so | 15:45:02 | | 11 | in other words his father's purchase was under | 15:45:10 | | 12 | Mr. Qiang Guo's profile. | 15:45:14 | | 13 | I don't think maybe you understood what | 15:45:16 | | 14 | I meant. That is why I wanted the interpreter to | 15:45:18 | | 15 | interpret for me. | 15:45:21 | | 16 | BY MR. HARBACH: | 15:45:23 | | 17 | Q. Thank you very much. | 15:45:23 | | 18 | And I do understand that example. | 15:45:26 | | 19 | What about for groceries? | 15:45:28 | | 20 | A. (In English) Groceries, I mean, he lives in | 15:45:33 | | 21 | his wife's house; so if there is any grocery needed | 15:45:41 | | 22 | to be purchased, it is for both of them; so what | 15:45:45 | | 23 | Golden Spring was requested to pull out, like, | 15:45:51 | | 24 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok, his grocery purchase from his wife, | 15:45:58 | | 25 | like a general purchase; so I mean, the husband, the | 15:46:03 | | | | |

| 1 | wife live together. He is living in his wife's | 15:46:08 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | house. It doesn't make sense, like, he buy his own | 15:46:11 | | 3 | stuff, separate account. | 15:46:14 | | 4 | Q. I understand that. | 15:46:15 | | 5 | I'm just asking how the groceries are paid | 15:46:16 | | 6 | for. | 15:46:19 | | 7 | A. It paid by Golden Spring also. | 15:46:21 | | 8 | Q. Same question as before. | 15:46:26 | | 9 | Do they just go to a grocery store and the | 15:46:29 | | 10 | grocery store sends the bill to Golden Spring? Or do | 15:46:34 | | 11 | they buy their groceries online? How does that work? | 15:46:38 | | 12 | A. Grocery, most of them go with the debit | 15:46:42 | | 13 | card. | 15:46:46 | | 14 | Q. Okay. | 15:46:46 | | 15 | A. And buy -- | 15:46:47 | | 16 | Q. So | 15:46:50 | | 17 | A. And buy online also, yes. | 15:46:52 | | 18 | Q. Okay. And so even if the purchase is | 15:46:53 | | 19 | online, some sort of card, like if it is a debit card | 15:46:56 | | 20 | or a credit card, needs to be used; right? | 15:47:03 | | 21 | A. Correct. | 15:47:07 | | 22 | Q. Okay. Who uses that card? | 15:47:08 | | 23 | A. Who use that card? | 15:47:10 | | 24 | They -- people. I mean, his wife use it | 15:47:16 | | 25 | also. | 15:47:20 | | | | Page 202 |

| 1 | Q. Does he ever use the -- | 15:47:20 | |----|----------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | A. I mean -- | 15:47:23 | | 3 | Q. Does he ever use the card? | 15:47:24 | | 4 | A. I don't think so. He doesn't read English | 15:47:26 | | 5 | at all, so | 15:47:30 | | 6 | Q. I mean, well, I don't know that you need to | 15:47:31 | | 7 | read English to use a credit card or a debit card. | 15:47:33 | | 8 | Does he ever use the card to make purchases | 15:47:37 | | 9 | himself? | 15:47:42 | | 10 | A. Which time period you are asking about and | 15:47:42 | | 11 | by what kind of purchase methods? | 15:47:44 | | 12 | Q. You -- | 15:47:44 | | 13 | A. If you are asking about online, he doesn't | 15:47:47 | | 14 | read English. | 15:47:50 | | 15 | I mean, you have to be able to read English | 15:47:51 | | 16 | to shopping online; right? | 15:47:53 | | 17 | Q. Does that -- | 15:47:53 | | 18 | A. So with that, I can confirm he doesn't. | 15:47:54 | | 19 | Q. Were -- well, number one, I'm pretty sure | 15:47:55 | | 20 | there are Websites in Chinese. | 15:48:00 | | 21 | And, number two, let's just stick with the | 15:48:03 | | 22 | grocery example. | 15:48:06 | | 23 | Does he ever use the credit card or the | 15:48:11 | | 24 | debit card to buy groceries? | 15:48:15 | | 25 | MR. ROSEN: Objection. | 15:48:19 | | | | Page 203 |

1 THE WITNESS: I don't know. 15:48:20

2 MR. ROSEN: She testified numerous times 15:48:25

3 that he is not authorized as a user of the card, and 15:48:27

4 she has answered this question numerous times. 15:48:30

5 MR. HARBACH: I don't believe she said -- it 15:48:32

6 wasn't a question of whether he was an authorized 15:48:32

7 user. I believe she said that he never used it. 15:48:35

8 BY MR. HARBACH: 15:48:38

I mean, I don't live in their home; right? | 15:48:59 | | 16 | Who is buying groceries? From my end, I can't see, | 15:49:03 | | 17 | like, an Amazon purchase or, like, a Whole Foods | 15:49:09 | | 18 | purchase. Who uses those cards? I need to find out. | 15:49:11 | | 19 | Q. Okay. So it sounds like, from what you just | 15:49:14 | | | | |

said, it could have been Mr. Ho Wan Kwok's wife or it 15:49:19 could have been Mr. Ho Wan Kwok, couldn't it? 15:49:23 22 A. I'm not giving you an answer in here because 15:49:26 I don't know. 15:49:32 24 Q. That is what I'm getting at. You don't 15:49:32 know. 15:49:35

HARBACH: | 15:53:11 | | 22 | Q. Thank you for your patience. Hopefully | 15:53:12 | | 23 | I saved us a little time by taking that break. A few | 15:53:14 | | 24 | cleanup questions, and I think we are finished. | 15:53:19 | | 25 | What is your understanding of how | 15:53:22 | | | | Page 205 |

| 1 | Mr. Ho Wan Kwok is going to repay the \$21 million in | 15:53:24 | |----|---------------------------------------------------------|----------| | 2 | litigation loans? | 15:53:28 | | 3 | A. I don't have understanding. I mean, he need | 15:53:30 | | 4 | to pay back those loans if he win the case and then, | 15:53:38 | | 5 | I mean, I assume there will be some success, and then | 15:53:42 | | 6 | he should pay back the loan. That is all my | 15:53:46 | | 7 | understanding. | 15:53:49 | | 8 | Q. Is there a Golden Spring (New York) owned | 15:53:50 | | 9 | car that stays at Mr. and Ms. Kwok's residence? | 15:53:54 | | 10 | A. I don't recall. As I said, I am not a car | 15:54:06 | | 11 | person. I mean, Mr. Qiang Guo will deal with the car | 15:54:09 | | 12 | at that part. | 15:54:13 | | 13 | Q. Well, doesn't Golden Spring (New York) | 15:54:14 | | 14 | Limited pay for a chauffeur for Mr. Ho Wan Kwok? | 15:54:17 | | 15 | A. We pay the employees, yes. | 15:54:23 | | 16 | Q. Okay. And my question to you isn't about | 15:54:26 | | 17 | what kind of car it is. | 15:54:30 | | 18 | I'm just asking whether there is a car and | 15:54:32 | | 19 | a chauffeur that is available to Mr. Kwok whenever he | 15:54:35 | | 20 | needs it. | 15:54:39 | | 21 | A. I mean, Mr. Qiang Guo would -- does rent | 15:54:44 | | 22 | a car for his father, and then Golden Spring pay the | 15:54:50 | | 23 | chauffeur. That is what I can confirm. | 15:54:53 | | 24 | Q. Okay. Do you have personal knowledge of who | 15:54:58 | | 25 | owns the residence where they live? | 15:55:04 | | | | |

ROSEN: I'm just taking notes right now. | 15:56:07 | | 21 | MR. HARBACH: Okay. | 15:56:10 | | 22 | MR.
