      I was just discussing this with someone earlier today. It’s been like ~20 years that Evergrande’s been in business, right? Possibly more, that’s a huge part of someone’s entire career. That means that people could have joined the workforce and worked their way up into upper management purely just working on Evergrande’s contracts.
