The notes receivable of the company were not discounted in the first half of the year, and some of the bills receivable received by the company were exchanged through financial institutions, that is, the bank acceptance drafts received by the company with a shorter term were put into the bank bill pool to be pledged, and the six-month bank acceptance was changed to pay the supplier's payment and reduce the financial cost; part of it was used to pay the supplier's payment directly.
