This is another important development after FF announced the completion of $40 million bridge financing this year. At the end of last year, FF CEO Bi Fukang revealed that he was negotiating with domestic car companies.
The incorporation of Zhuhai Company may not be completely regarded as a signal of "Jia Yueting's return to China", but from a pragmatic point of view, it can be regarded as the first step for a brand-new FF automobile company to launch a brand-new business in China.
When it comes to the legendary business cases in Zhuhai, besides Lei Jun and Jinshan Software, there are also the ups and downs of Shi Yuzhu. 1996, Shi Yuzhu didn't come back to pay off his debts until 2000 due to the broken capital chain of Giant Mansion.
Nowadays, the semi-retired FF in China chooses to airborne Zhuhai, which is worth pondering.
Environmentally, Zhuhai's new energy vehicle environment is suitable for FF airborne. Since 20 17, Zhuhai has been seeking to build the third largest new energy vehicle production base in Guangdong Province after Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
In industry consolidation, Sanshun Company and En Jie Company were introduced to produce raw materials for power batteries. Peng Hui Company, which produces battery products; Lipper Automobile and Fu Shang Electric Technology, which produce electric vehicle parts; Runxingtai Electric Appliance, which manufactures charging equipment; Yinlong New Energy, ZTE Smart Car and Yihua Electric Vehicle with vehicle production qualification.
However, it can be seen that on this map, the enterprise cultivation of electric passenger cars is still missing, and FF has the opportunity to fill the gap.
At present, with the great changes in the global environment, it is necessary for Greater Bay Area in the Pearl River Delta to find and cultivate new industries. It is also reasonable for all the roles of Greater Bay Area to strive for the first place. According to public information, at present, governments all over the country have launched a car-robbing war, including:
1, Hefei partner Wei Lai. In April this year, Weilai Automobile introduced 7 billion RMB strategic investments such as Hefu Construction Investment Holding (Group) Co., Ltd., SDIC Investment Management Co., Ltd. and Anhui High-tech Industry Investment Co., Ltd. ..
At present, the Hefei Municipal People's Government has issued policies to support vehicle manufacturers such as Jianghuai Automobile, Weilai Automobile, Jianghuai Volkswagen, An Kai Bus, Hefei Changan and Chery (Chaohu) to strengthen the supply chain construction of new energy vehicles, innovate business models such as "separation of vehicles and electricity", enhance the international competitiveness of brands and cultivate leading enterprises in the industry.
2. Tucki, partner of Guangdong Zhaoqing. In the first half of 2020, Xpeng Motors obtained the license of automobile factory, and Zhaoqing's self-built factory was officially put into production. On June+10, 5438, Zhaoqing High-tech Zone was strengthening the vertical investment of industrial chain around Xpeng automobile, forming an industrial chain integrating production and sales, and realizing the "internal circulation" of new energy automobile industry.
3. Chongqing cooperates with Celeste electric vehicle brand under Xiaokang Co., Ltd. In September last year and April this year, Chongqing Jin Xin Fund and Liangjiang New Area Management Committee invested Celeste Electric Vehicle Company (Jin Kang New Energy). The local government promised to support Jin Kang New Energy in policy, financing, production, management and sales, and build Jin Kang New Energy into a global smart car brand enterprise.
4. Shanghai partner Weimar: In September, Weimar Automobile received a financing of 654.38+0 billion yuan jointly led by Shanghai Guotou Platform and SAIC.
5. Beijing Partner Polaris: 65438+In early February, some media reported that Polaris had signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Yizhuang International Investment and Development Co., Ltd., and the future Polaris China Headquarters and Polaris Automobile National Flagship Exhibition Hall will both be located in Yizhuang.
When Zhuhai wants to promote the development of new energy automobile clusters, it needs an excellent goal-driven.
First, in the current new forces of car-making, ff may be the pearl left behind-it has a mature accumulation in technology, products, supply chain and team, and the quasi-production car is off the assembly line, which means that FF is only one foot away from the market. So the capital profit cycle is the shortest.
Second, in the blank high-end electric vehicle market, FF is promising. It can be seen that there are already head players in the low-cost electric vehicle market, but the power of high-end electric vehicles is still in the cultivation period-FF? Although FF9 1 has been released for 4 years, there is no comparable object in the market in terms of performance.
Third, the new window period of new energy vehicles is unfolding. In 2020, new energy vehicles will enter a period of rapid development, but more "heat" will be on the capital side rather than the product side. This means that the real "winning the market with products" has not yet begun. As long as FF's products are excellent enough, there is still a lot of room.
Fourth, on top of new energy, concepts such as intelligence and autonomous driving began to really break out. Many public opinions focus on the concept of new energy, but ignore the accumulated value of FF in smart car technology-and smart tram technology has become the new favorite of the capital market, and Tesla, Weilai and Tucki are all making efforts in autonomous driving technology.
Fifth, if products, environment and topics are the east wind of FF, then Jia Yueting's personal debt bankruptcy and restructuring in the United States may be the biggest reassurance for capital investment in FF. Without debt disputes, Bi Fukang and FF's partner management team can make FF more stable on the road of mass production.
"What cannot be ignored in the progress of FF is that it is still seeking a backdoor listing in the United States, which will be conducive to the promotion of domestic cooperation." A senior industry source said.
In short, whether FF and Zhuhai are together is love or conspiracy is the focus of the next stage.
Zhuhai has always been innovative, and has created many entrepreneurial legends in the past: Qiu Bojun, Lei Jun, Shi Yuzhu, Dong Mingzhu ... Will Jia Yueting be next?
