​In recent years, the operations of different industries around the world have been affected to varying degrees by factors such as trade wars or political factors. The beneficiary enterprises are of course leading the way, enjoying the results; while the affected enterprises are already riddled with sores and are staggering. The arrival of an epidemic has accelerated the demise of these enterprises.

In 2020, with the impact from the pandemic outbreak, and the uncertainties of the epidemic trend, countries are encountering an unprecedented crisis as a result of regional lockdowns and restrictive measures. The global economy is suffering a severe recession, with catering, manufacturing and retail industries bearing the brunt of the crisis. The current global pandemic has made it incredibly challenging for businesses to maintain their cash flow. The tide of bankruptcy is on the horizon. Local and overseas companies are concerned about collecting debts from China, as they are unfamiliar with Mainland laws and culture, while the epidemic has caused payment delays.

Thus receivable collection services is always an indispensable tool for the jewelry industry to recover its overdue debts.
