The contract stipulates: 1. Wujiang Trading Company provided Jiayuan Mining with a loan of RMB 240 million (paid as agreed), the loan term is 5 years, the borrowing interest rate is 6% per annum, and if the borrowing rate of the Chinese Min bank for more than five years is adjusted up and down during the borrowing period, the borrowing interest rate will be adjusted according to the absolute value of the upward and downward adjustment from the 1st of the following month (if the annual interest rate is less than 6% after adjustment, it will be implemented at 6%, and the unadjusted part will no longer be counted in the next adjustment). Jiayuan Mining mortgaged its mining rights, machinery and equipment from Jiayuan Manganese Ore. Jiayuan Mining violated the contract, Wujiang Trading Company has the right to require Jiayuan Mining to return all the principal and interest of the loan under the contract in advance, and if Jiayuan Company fails to repay the loan on time, it shall pay penalty interest on all the outstanding loan principal.
