As an aside, Longhua Group, controlled by Wang Yihan, had previously jointly established the Junding Winery with COFCO Group. After Junding Winery suffered losses for several years, Longhua acquired a 55% stake in Junding Winery from COFCO Group for 1 RMB.
In November 2020, after Hu Xiaowei lost the authorization for the game "Legend," his overseas companies' gambling, pornographic app, and related money laundering channels suffered severe impacts. Large amounts of illegal funds from overseas gambling were exposed and subsequently frozen by public security organs in multiple locations in mainland China.
Hu Xiaowei's main source of income was operating online casinos and building gambling teams, obtaining huge illegal profits through fishing games, "pig butchering" scams, pornographic websites, and telecommunications fraud. Hu Xiaowei used the "Legend" private server game and third-party payment platforms as channels to launder money for his aforementioned illegal black market operations.
It is estimated that Hu Xiaowei's monthly income from illicit activities is around 2 billion RMB, and at its peak, it can reach as high as 20 billion RMB in a single month.
