Shares refer to subordinated securities issued by mutual funds; also refer to shares invested in joint ventures or consumer cooperatives, etc.
Stock payments are payments made by shareholders for the shares subscribed for. Shareholders are holders of shares. Shares are also called “shares”. Companies and enterprises that raise funds by issuing stocks divide their total capital into several small units of equal amount, and each unit is called a “share. Each share represents a certain amount of capital.
In real life in China, there are two types of share capital: one is the payment made by residents in Shenzhen, Shanghai and other places for subscribing for the shares of a joint-stock pilot enterprise. Second, at the beginning of the establishment of China Rural Credit Cooperatives, members paid the share fund when they joined the cooperative.
The difference between stock and shares:
- The concepts of the two are different. The share capital is the share capital invested in the joint-stock enterprise or the consumer cooperative, and the share represents the partial ownership of the company;
- The nature of the two is different. Shares have monetary value, equality, indivisible and transferability, but share capital does not have these properties.
