Research gaps: Couldn't parse the 2025 20-F's legal-proceedings section: the document is too large for the fetch tool, and a direct download was refused by SEC. The ~45.3% stake comes from NetEase's May 2026 HK AGM circular filed on EDGAR. NetEase's own % stakes in Youdao and Cloud Music weren't verified. Session web-search budget ran out, so press coverage (regulation, lawsuits, Ding's philanthropy, real estate) couldn't be checked; none included. Ding's own CIK is verified (0001280208); he files no 13F.
