When it comes to Green Chi cars, it is estimated that few people know about it. After all, this car company is too low-key. But when it comes to its founder, Wang Xiangyin, I believe everyone in the automobile circle knows it. As the former deputy general manager of BAIC Foton Motor Co., Ltd. and the president of Huatai Automobile Group, Wang Xiangyin founded Lv Chi Automobile on 20 16, but since its establishment, Lv Chi Automobile has been unlucky.
For any enterprise, the initial shareholders will not only bring capital, but also have a great impact on the future development direction of the enterprise. At first, the main shareholders of Lv Chi Automobile were Zhongneng Dongdao and Zhongneng Capital, but it was later revealed that Zhongneng illegally raised funds by selling the original shares, which had a devastating impact on Lv Chi. In addition to the source of funds, the reputation of the company has also been greatly affected, so that Lv Chi Auto has to respond that it will not have any connection with Zhongneng Host in the future.
This event finally came to an end in April, 2065438+2009. Lv Chi Automobile became a 0/00% shareholder of Shenzhen Jiuzhou Huilian Investment Management Co., Ltd., and Wang Xiangyin was replaced by Ren Yahui shortly after he left Lv Chi Automobile.
According to Lv Chi Auto's publicly released financing plan, it is estimated that in 20 18, the second round of financing of 2-3 billion yuan will be completed, and 2-3 strategic investors will be introduced. In 2065438+2009, it completed the 6-8 billion yuan Series C financing, introduced 3-5 strategic investors, and went on the market to produce cars; 2021-listed in 2022.
Judging from the current situation, Lv Chi Auto has not released any financing information, and there are no production cars at present. As early as 20 18, it cooperated with Italian companies to launch the concept version of the coupe-Uranus, which only appeared at the Geneva Motor Show that year, and it was difficult to find it at the auto shows at home and abroad.
In addition to the coupe model, Lv Chi has also set foot in the field of SUV, but like the coupe model, there are no mass-produced cars on the market now, and the lack of money may be an important reason for the jump ticket of Lv Chi automobile products. Compared with the future cars and singular cars that are also built in the name of coupe and sports car, Lv Chi still stays in the PPT stage.
According to public information, Henan SDIC Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Henan SDIC) subscribed for 60% equity of Lv Chi Automobile with a capital of 20198.6 million yuan, and the registered capital of Lv Chi Automobile increased to 3,366.44 million yuan, which was 1.5 times of the original registered capital. In addition to the change of investors and registered capital, the company name of Lv Chi Automobile was changed from "Lv Chi Automotive Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd." to "Lv Chi Automotive Technology Group Co., Ltd.".
A new force that doesn't even have mass production cars and production qualifications, is anyone buying it? Seeing this, I believe everyone has a strong interest in Henan SDIC. According to the public information, 65% of the shares of Henan SDIC are held by Henan Economic and Technical Cooperation Group Corporation, in other words, its controlling shareholder is the latter. So who are the shareholders of Henan Economic and Technical Cooperation Group? The answer is the People's Government of Henan Province. In other words, Lv Chi Auto was incorporated by the state-owned assets this time.
Objectively speaking, judging from the performance of the new car-making forces, whether Weilai, Tucki or Weimar are still in the stage of burning money. For the capital-intensive automobile industry, if the production scale of 654.38 million vehicles is not reached, the cost of bicycles will be high; In addition to these emerging car companies, established car companies such as BYD, Changan and Great Wall are also widely distributed in the field of new energy vehicles. At present, the market cake in the field of new energy is not big, and the living space of new forces building cars is even smaller. Instead of dying for money, it is better to hand over the enterprise and at least survive.
For Henan SDIC, the acquisition of Lv Chi Automobile means that it can cultivate its own local automobile enterprises in the field of new energy vehicles. From automobile design to production and sales, its industrial chain is extremely broad. If properly operated, it will help solve the local employment problems and tax problems. In the product promotion before Lv Chi Auto, wireless charging, NFC? Virtual key and fingerprint unlocking, L2.5? I-class autonomous driving technology is its highlight, and these highlights and the technical strength behind them may be the value of Henan SDIC's fancy to Lv Chi automobile.
In the past, the Anhui government supported Wei Lai, but now the Henan government has incorporated Lv Chi. What kind of spark will be sparked by the combination of local government and automobile industry? Let's wait and see.
