from the perspective of customers. Nine of the top ten customers claimed by Oriental paper in 2009 were unable to purchase the product volume previously claimed by Oriental paper, and the purchase volume of their customers exceeded the income of these customers

other aspects. The inventory of Oriental paper is exaggerated, and the cost of raw materials is unreliable; Hebei Shuangxing paper has less than $400000 in assets, while Oriental paper claims to have spent $13.6 million on the acquisition
