Chinese technology company LeEco has received a 16.8 billion yuan (2.4 billion USD) investment, mostly from property developer Sunac China Holdings, according to a statement on LeEco's official website on Friday.

The investment will come just in time as the first capital investment should arrive on Monday, the same day LeEco's stocks will resume trading after they were suspended on December 7 due to the company's financial difficulties.

Sunac plans to invest 15 billion yuan (2.17 billion USD) while another two investors, Huaxia Insurance and Leran Investment, plan to invest 1.8 billion yuan (261 million USD). LeEco will get the first 7.1 billion yuan (1.03 billion USD) from the investors on Monday when LeEco's stock resumes trading. The investors will then pay 6.04 billion yuan (876 million USD) in the next five business days.

LeEco said that Sunac's investment would help solve LeEco's financial problems once and for all. LeEco's CEO Jia Yueting said in last November that his company was facing financial difficulties due to the rapid pace of growth in various businesses, but later LeEco announced it had secured commitments for 600 million USD to support its embattled automotive unit and other high-tech areas.
