According to a Hong Kong newspaper, ''South China Morning Post'', the largest beneficial owner (20.59% of total share capital) of the holding company at that time, Huang Youlong and his wife Zhao Wei, also owned Zhejiang Talent Television & Film, Sino Golf Holdings, Yunfeng Financial Group, Zhejiang People Culture (; Zhejiang Wanjia Culture) and Alibaba Pictures Group, all were listed companies on the Hong Kong or on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. They sold the shares of Teamway in July 2017; the couple were banned to enter the securities market of the mainland China by the China Securities Regulatory Commission for market manipulation on Sunriver Culture (; former Wanjia Culture) in November 2017.

However, it was collapsed. In May 2017, Teamway International became an indirect shareholder of Singapore-listed company Cityneon, as part of a consortium called "Lucrum 1 Investment". Jin Bao Bao owned 8.5% stake in the consortium. In November 2017 a memorandum of understanding was signed to acquire the controlling stake (additional 76% shares) of Lucrum 1 Investment from other investor: BVI-incorporated Massive Right Investments.

According to Teamway, Li Yonghong charged the share of "Rossoneri Advance", the parent company of "Rossoneri Sport Investment" to Teamway, which David Webb, a critic, doubted the deal, as there was another "lower stream" holding company incorporated in Luxembourg, which Teamway may not be the ultimate controller of A.C. Milan if any default and/or in the senior rank of repayment.
