Oh, dear. This is just too much…
One of our friends in Washington(Ken, of a previous report) has been keeping an eye on Abraham Hengyucius. I present for your edu-tainment, the latest in the long saga of American Seashores International, American Tire Corporation, Washington Tire Corporation, and its latest incarnation/sister corporation: American Tianbao Company (aka Tianbao Securities and Tianbao Capital).
On or about May 1st of 2009, Mr. Hengyucius established yet another corporation. I’ve posted a screenshot from the Washington SOS below(courtesy of our friend, Ken.) This is so you can see the registrations in the state of Washington.

Evidently, Mr. Hengyucius is doing his best to kill two birds with a single company. His first problem is that he needs to keep the ATC logo, his second is a lack of investment(Note: this is pure speculation on my part. If whisperings are to be believed, I warrant that it is not far from the truth, if not the truth itself.)
Let’s start with the “website”, which I will not grace with a link from here. I’ll put up a screenshot for you below.

You will note that everything is Trademarked to death, as if putting “TM” after your business name actually did that. There are actual papers to be filed for this sort of thing. I guess you can’t be too careful after losing to American Tire Distributors. At any rate, this at least gives them the initials “ATC”, so that they don’t have to do a logo redesign.
Evidently, they are quite the outfit, as they provide their
…portfolio companies the assistance in the areas of strategy, executive team recruiting, operational execution and capital-raising.
Umm…my question would be…shouldn’t you get it right, before you attempt to provide that same service to others. If I am wrong here, then it must be part of their “strategy” to hide all that expertise from the general public. As an aside, I don’t know what the “newest pulse” is, but I’m pretty sure that ATC has no clue, either.
As to the second requirement, who wants to bet that American Tianbao is now an investor in the Ephrata, Washington plant? I would be willing to bet that ATC won’t fully disclose that to any potential investors. You will note that Tianbao invests in
…large projects in heavy industry, mining industry and high-tech companies.
What a coincidence. ATC could be described under all three categories. In fact, the entire description of the companies they invest in read like a press release for ATC(The tire company.) It’s just so transparent.
That pretty much wraps things up, save for a little lesson in law. Since ATC has copyrighted and trademarked everything, without understanding what it means, I have posted a link to understanding fair use laws, for the general benefit of all concerned.
So, there you go. I honestly don’t know when they are going to stop all this nonsense. I’ll give them credit for not giving up, but that is the extent of it.
We’ll keep you updated on any developments in this never-ending story. Until next time, I’ll be…
Signing off…
