We'd be surprised if Qingdao AInnovation Technology Group Co., Ltd. (HKG:2121) shareholders haven't noticed that the Chief Revenue Officer, Tao He, recently sold HK$3.5m worth of stock at HK$8.00 per share. On the bright side, that sale was only 1.3% of their holding, so we doubt it's very meaningful, on its own.
