By GlobalDataCommenting on the development, Li stated: “The disposal of Feng Hui allows us to improve our liability position and convert our accounts receivables into cash.
“The disposal will further improve our liquidity while eliminating the majority of our debt and financing costs so that we can commit our resources to the development of other financing business lines with more promising prospects such as supply chain financing, asset management, and insurance facilitation.”
China Lending, set up in 2009, is based in Urumqi and Hangzhou.
