Shares of China Evergrande soared 7.3% to HK$5.87%, while its new-energy vehicle unit China Evergrande New Energy Vehicle Group rose 8% to HK$13.20 and property management arm Evergrande Property Services surged 20.5% to HK$6.70 after reports that the group is in talks with state-owned and private companies to sell its assets for cash.
