China Direct Trading Corporation (OTCBB: CHDT) today announced that it is loaning $250,000 to Complete Power Solutions (CPS) to finance the opening of two new Complete Power Solutions subsidiaries to be located in Miami and Naples, Florida. Chairman and CEO, Howard Ullman, has loaned the company the funds at a 7% interest rate in order to quickly launch these companies within the next 30 to 60 days.

China Direct will control 60% percent of Complete Power of Miami and 60% percent of Complete Power of Naples, and 40% ownership will go to the licensees. The new subsidiaries will purchase all generators, CPS' proprietary STC rated preformed slabs, and will also be able to offer their licensees CPS' heralded back-office support infrastructure, including permit package preparation and engineering. CHDT will consolidate 100% of all financials of its subsidiaries.

We have developed a solid and proven sales model and we will continue to expand our operations throughout the state of Florida as well as other states.
