In 2019, we achieved smooth transition from the old model to the collaboration model and kept improving its application. In 2020, the refined collaboration model has proved its capability to overcome obstacles brought by the changing business environment. For the fiscal year of 2020, we facilitated loans amounting RMB8.8 billion, representing an increase of 40% as compared to 2019, we also recorded a revenue of RMB1.8 billion and a net income of RMB114.9 million. Those results were of strong proof to the efficiency of the collaboration model, and further enhanced our confidence to keep promoting the model. Our collaboration model and loan products have also been well recognized by the market. At the end of the year, the signed sales partners reached 1,700 as compared to 1,300 in 2019, representing an increase of 31%.
Report on the Work of the Government in 2021 declared that we “should continuously be working on providing financial solutions for MSEs”, which is exactly what we have been dedicated to. We believe in 2021, in order to better serve our sales partners and MSE owners and reach our set goal of exceeding RMB10 billion in outstanding loans under the collaboration model, we will continue to refine our product design, sales partners service and platform operation, and continue to create value for our shareholders.” Commented Mr.Zhai Bin, Chairman and CEO of CNFinance.”
