李小加
Charles Li is the former CEO of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing and co-founder of Micro Connect (滴灌通), a fintech and investment firm he launched in 2021 with Zhang Gaobo, founder of Oriental Patron Financial Group . The company positions itself as an "innovative investment and fintech company" built around a non-equity, non-debt revenue-based financing model using "Daily Revenue Obligation" contracts rather than conventional equity fundraising . As of September 2024, Li disclosed that Micro Connect had deployed RMB 4.4 billion over three years and recovered nearly RMB 2.3 billion, with the remaining RMB 2 billion-plus expected to return over the following two to three years . The firm has faced persistent external skepticism about whether its RBF model is viable, including scrutiny around a wave of layoffs concentrated in its investment front office earlier in 2024 .
