A few days ago, Lanzhou Minbai (600738) issued an announcement that it had completed the closing of transfer of the equity of its wholly-owned subsidiary Shanghai Yongling and was actively proceeding with the transfer of the equity of Shanghai Qianpeng. Lanzhou Minbai, through the above-mentioned equity transaction mode, disposed of Shanghai Square located at No. 138 Middle Huaihai Road, Shanghai, and Fudu Commercial Building located within the area of City God Temple, Shanghai, with an estimated total property value of over RMB3bn. As the legal advisor of Lanzhou Minbai, JT&N formed a lawyer team led by Senior Partner Lelei Ye and consisting of senior lawyers such as Wei Zhou and Qing Liu to provide legal services for the disposal of the above assets.
