美特斯邦威創始人周成建失聯一週後復出
The billionaire founder of one of China’s most famous fashion brands has returned to work a week after his company said he had gone missing, the latest in a series of entrepreneurs and financiers apparently embroiled in Beijing’s anti-corruption campaign.
中國著名時裝品牌美特斯邦威(Metersbonwe)的創始人周成建已重返工作崗位，一週前他的公司稱與他失聯。近期有一批企業家和金融家似乎被捲入北京的反腐敗鬥爭，周成建是最新的一位。
Metersbonwe, one of the best known brands on the Chinese high street, said in a statement to the Shenzhen stock exchange last Friday that founder Zhou Chengjian, China’s 62nd richest man with a fortune of Rmb26.5bn ($4bn) last year, was back at work along with Tu Ke, board secretary.
上週五，美特斯邦威向深圳證券交易所提交聲明，稱公司創始人周成建與董事會祕書塗珂都已在崗履職。周成建在中國富豪榜排名第62位，去年的身家爲265億元人民幣（合40億美元）。
In a statement on January 7 the company said it was unable to reach either man and that its shares were suspended while company officials investigated media reports that Mr Zhou had been detained by police. No details of the disappearance were given in last week’s statement.
美特斯邦威1月7日發公告表示，由於該公司未能與兩人取得聯繫，公司股票將臨時停牌，其間公司領導將覈實關於周成建被警察帶走的媒體報道。美特斯邦威在上週的公告中沒有透露周成建失聯的詳情。
However, shares in the company will remain suspended until at least February 5, a further statement said, adding that the company planned a “major asset restructuring”.
然而，該公司在一份後續聲明中表示，美特斯邦威的股票將繼續停牌到至少2月5日，聲明補充稱，該公司正在籌劃“重大資產重組”。
Mr Zhou’s disappearance followed close on the heels of that of Guo Guangchang, chairman of the conglomerate Fosun, one of China’s best known companies internationally because of its ownership of Club Med. Mr Guo went missing in December and was later reported by his company to be assisting authorities with an investigation.
周成建失聯之前，復星集團(Fosun)董事長郭廣昌也曾失聯，由於收購了地中海俱樂部(Club Med)，該集團成了中國在國際上最知名的公司之一。郭廣昌在去年12月失聯，隨後他的公司報告稱，他在協助當局調查。
The detention of the two men caused jitters in the mainland private sector, which had been largely untouched by anti-corruption investigations that had targeted mostly government officials, executives of state-owned companies and financial industry executives.
周成建與塗珂被帶走的消息在中國私營部門引起了不安情緒，此前反腐調查的目標主要是政府官員、國有企業和金融業的高管，基本未涉及私營部門。
Mr Guo was subsequently released and allowed to travel overseas. Sources close to the company said at the time he was not the target of the investigation.
郭廣昌隨後被釋放，並獲准出境。據接近該公司的消息人士表示，郭廣昌並不是調查對象。
