Although the official denied the rumor for the first time, the news seems to reveal the management dilemma of Yinlong New Energy. Since Dong Mingzhu became a shareholder in Zhuhai Yinlong, there have been great disputes and contradictions within the company. Since then, Yinlong New Energy has been exposed to a series of problems, such as poor management, falling orders, factory shutdown, senior executives leaving, and suppliers coming to collect debts. To this end, Yinlong New Energy kept a low profile for quite some time until there was a stock withdrawal storm.
"Big Brother" loves to cross the line.
In fact, Dong Mingzhu and Yinlong New Energy are just the epitome of many cross-border car-making cases. With the gradual advancement of electrification, not only Dong Mingzhu, but also more and more people began to pursue the dream of building cars.
When it comes to cross-border car building, I'm afraid Xu Jiayin with deep pockets can match Dong Mingzhu. In June this year, Evergrande spent US$ 379.5 million (about RMB 2.679 billion) to acquire the remaining shares of NEVS 17.6% and pocketed the remaining shares of NEVS, which means that Evergrande Health will become the only new energy vehicle listed company in the Hong Kong stock market with the world's top R&D and manufacturing capabilities. Unsurprisingly, such good news directly caused the stock of Evergrande Health to skyrocket in the following days.

The reason why the acquisition of NEVS can make Evergrande Health's stock soar is because the Swedish brand Saab owned by NEVS is a Swedish high-end passenger car brand with a history of 70 years. After the financial crisis, it fell into a financial crisis and was acquired by NEVS. However, due to lack of funds, NEVS also struggled with losses until it met Xu Jiayin who had the same dream of building a car.
If you don't do it, you must be bigger and stronger. Mr. Xu, who was born in real estate, is confident to join the car-making business. Regarding the planning of building cars, Evergrande Health once said at the performance conference at the beginning of the year that at present, Evergrande is developing 14 models simultaneously, covering a full range of products, and the first car "Hengchi 1" will be unveiled this year, 20265438+
However, Mr. Xu's dream of building a car always has a little bit of gold and jade. Even if Evergrande doesn't worry about money, is it really that simple to buy a bunch of cutting-edge technologies and then piece together parts to build a car? Obviously not. Does Xu Canjiayin, an automobile manufacturer, make products suitable for the market? Guoneng 93 may have given the answer.
In addition to Xu Jiayin, there is a low-key boss who is also eager to start a new chapter in the life of "building a car", that is, Foxconn boss Guo Taiming.
Although at first glance, Foxconn has nothing to do with making cars, in fact, they have deep roots, perhaps because the sensational "Fu Bi case" lawsuit was dismissed, and Guo Taiming also planted a seed of "making cars" in his heart.
At the end of 20 14, Foxconn injected HK$ 600 million into Harmony Automobile, which opened the prelude to Foxconn's "car dream". 2065438+On March 23rd, 2005, Harmony Auto, Foxconn and Tencent signed the Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement for Internet Intelligent Electric Vehicles in Zhengzhou. Foxconn, Tencent and Harmony Auto invested $ 1 billion at a ratio of 3:3:4, and "Harmony Futeng" was born.
However, the good times did not last long. After Harmony Futeng began to operate separately in two lines, Guo Taiming seemed to realize that it was not easy to build a car, and even publicly stated: "Any industry plus the Internet of Things will become the Internet, but on the other hand, it is not easy to manufacture in the Internet industry. Taking automobiles as an example, the success rate of Internet companies in building automobiles is very small, because automobiles involve human lives and there are a lot of hardware problems to be solved, thus cutting the relationship between Foxconn and Harmony Futeng.
Since then, although Guo Taiming has also invested in many automobile-related projects, he has not directly participated in the manufacture of automobiles. It was not until June 5438+ 10 this year that Foxconn and FCA were about to set up a joint venture company for the China market, and Foxconn's car-making was put on the agenda again.
In fact, neither Guo Taiming nor Xu Jiayin seems to have the "temperament" to build cars, but they both choose to build cars, which shows that the automobile industry is really irreplaceable. Not only them, but also many technology giants, including Apple, Huawei and Xiaomi, continue to exert their efforts in intelligent networking and autonomous driving in the automobile industry, which further shows that the automobile industry has great potential. However, the competition among major car companies is still so fierce. Is the new force of cross-border car-making just joining in the fun or really knowing how to do it? The answer seems to be gradually clear.
The collective decline of the new forces of building cars
The outbreak of an epidemic doomed this year to be no ordinary year, and the automobile industry was also hit hard. It is in this market environment that the survival of the fittest is accelerated.
Compared with the limelight a few years ago, today's new car-making forces are almost collectively facing the test of survival. Recently, such a picture circulated on the internet seems to express the sad situation of the new forces of making cars in a very direct way.
On July 2nd, Jia Yueting published an open letter entitled "Work and start a business, restart my life, with my apology, thanks and commitment", which caused a sensation for a time. In fact, the article is about the difficult road of starting a business in Jia Yueting. No matter how well the article is written, this open letter can be regarded as the end of Jia Yueting's dream of building a car.
Prior to this, Bojun and Baiteng also reported negative news about the company's arrears, the resignation of executives and the dissolution of the team. The new car-making forces have experienced another round of reshuffle, and there are very few survivors. This is obviously not good news for the cross-border er who is still pursuing the dream of building a car.
After all, there are always some people who have an attitude towards building cars. The reason for their failure may be that they underestimated the difficulty of building cars or ignored the uncertain factors in the market.
Whether it is Dong Mingzhu, Xu Jiayin or Guo Taiming, they all know that building a car is risky, so they will not gamble all their possessions to pursue their dreams like most new car-making forces. But is the cross-border automobile industry really building a car or trying to transform? The boundary may not be clear, and there is a high probability of both. Those dream catchers who are full of blood and devotion have not yet realized their dreams, but can those "Dong Mingzhu people" who are not so devoted hope to realize their dreams?
