I didn't expect the wind to pass so quickly. The overall automobile market continues to be sluggish, the national support policies are declining, and the new force of making cars is struggling.
Just recently, Lv Chi Automobile, once a new car-making army, broke its capital chain due to poor management. As a last resort, Lv Chi Automobile chose to "sell itself" to renew its life, and sold 60% of its shares to Henan SDIC Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Henan SDIC). It is reported that the equity change has been completed. Henan SDIC has officially entered the company and has a controlling stake, becoming the actual controller of Lv Chi Automobile. Subsequently, the company name was changed from Lv Chi Automotive Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. to Lv Chi Automotive Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Lv Chi Automobile).
Transfer the controlling interest to others? The wasted years in Qingchi
According to Tianyanchao system, before this equity change, Shenzhen Jiuzhou Huilian Investment Management Co., Ltd. was the sole shareholder of Lv Chi Automobile, with a holding of 65,438+000% and a registered capital of nearly 6,543.8+035 billion yuan. On March 6, 2020, Lv Chi Automobile completed the equity change, and the investor added Henan SDIC Enterprise Management Co., Ltd., with a subscribed capital of nearly 2.02 billion yuan and 60% equity.
With this change, Henan SDIC became the new actual controller of Lv Chi Auto, while the original shareholders and business entities of Lv Chi Auto retreated to the second place. In fact, this is also the first enterprise in the new forces of making cars to have this situation.
At the same time with Green Chi, Wei Lai, Tucki and Weimar have gradually embarked on the track, but Green Chi has entrusted himself to others after several years of efforts. This experience is really embarrassing.
Once upon a time, the green idiot was ambitious and ambitious. 20 18, Wang Xiangyin, then co-founder and CEO of Lv Chi Automobile, said that Lv Chi Automobile will obtain the qualification of building a car in parallel through three channels: joint manufacturing (OEM), independent declaration and qualification purchase.
2065438+June 2008, Lv Chi Auto also announced the HTC product plan to the media, with three product platforms named CC, M and S respectively. At the product level, it will be put on the market at a high speed in the industry where a new car is listed in half a year.
20 19 In May, Lv Chi Automobile announced that it had reached a cooperation with Changan to use the idle production capacity of Changan Suzuki, which had withdrawn from China, as the main engine factory of Lv Chi Automobile. Lenovo previously announced that Lv Chi Automobile will officially launch its first compact SUV model in June 20 19. This cooperation statement gives people the impression that Lv Chi's new car will definitely go on the market soon.
Embarrassed, even today, there is still no story about this matter. On the contrary, the news about its new round of financing has not been released, which has also aroused great concern in the industry. Because there is no model in the market and there is no large-scale income, Lv Chi can only survive by financing. Repeated attempts failed, so Lv Chi had to "sell himself" and move on.
"Shuffle" starts with personnel.
The founder and CEO of Lv Chi Automobile Group is Wang Xiangyin, an insider. Wang Xiangyin's automobile career is mainly in Foton Motor. From 1999 to 17 in 20 16, Wang Xiangyin successively served as executive deputy general manager of Foton Motor and general manager of overseas business department, and vice general manager of Foton Motor and general manager of marketing company.
20 16, Wang Xiangyin founded Lv Chi Automobile after he left Foton Motor. According to public information, Lv Chi Automotive Technology Group Co., Ltd. was established in August 2065438+2006 with a registered capital of13.5 billion yuan. Its business scope includes technology development, technology transfer, construction and operation of charging and replacing facilities for new energy vehicles, import and export of goods and technologies, and automobile sales.
Strangely, only three years later, Wang Xiangyin died. According to the data, from 2065438 to March 2009, the top management of automobiles in Lv Chi changed. Wang Xiangyin, founder and former CEO of Lv Chi Automobile Group, submitted his resignation to the board of directors. Ren Yahui, former executive vice president of Lv Chi Automobile Group, succeeded Wang Xiangyin as CEO of Lv Chi Automobile and became the actual controller of Lv Chi Automobile. For entrepreneurial companies, it is very rare for founders to go out, especially in the automobile industry, which is often billions of investments. The conflict between them cannot be described by the word "irreconcilable".
As long as you take stock of the stories that happened to Lv Chi cars, you can know a thing or two: in 2065438+2008, Lv Chi cars broke up with Italian I.DE.A, the design company of "Venus" super coupe project, and publicly claimed that Lv Chi cars owed 27 million euros; What followed was that more explosive shareholders could illegally raise funds by selling "original shares"; What is even more bizarre is that Lv Chi Auto actually staged a drama of "breaking up" with the major shareholder of Zhongneng Host, which is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and outsiders cannot argue; Of course, the information that Lv Chi's automobile capital chain is broken and wages cannot be paid is often reported in newspapers.
It can be proved that the Jiujiang New Energy Electric Vehicle Production Base, which Lv Chi Automobile is expected to invest 5.5 billion yuan, has been in a state of leveling the land since it was signed and settled on June 22, 20 18, and no progress has been made so far.
In fact, a person close to Lv Chi Auto revealed to Nice Car that since the beginning of this year, the related business of Lv Chi Auto has basically stopped, and the internal core team has been in a state of dissolution. In other words, after being controlled by the state-owned assets of Henan Province, the core team has been "out".
According to media reports, China Auto Watch also asked relevant personnel of Changan Automobile to verify the cooperation progress between the two OEMs, but Changan Automobile declined to comment on this news.
In fact, the life-and-death knockout of the new car-making forces has sounded the countdown bell. Lv Chi Automobile has not made any substantial breakthrough in key financing progress, technology research and development, production qualification and delivery operation. This is not only much later than the competitors, but also puts itself on the verge of life and death.
More importantly, Volkswagen, Guangzhou Automobile, Changan and other traditional fuel vehicles are strong. New energy vehicles with relatively mature technology have been rapidly transformed into new energy sources, while the subsidies of the national new energy policy have fallen sharply. These factors make the situation of Lv Chi automobile more difficult.
Although Henan SDIC entered the market with capital, Lv Chi can still be said to be the first "out" enterprise among the new car-making forces, because of the dissolution of Lv Chi's core team, and because so far, there is no real production car listed in Lv Chi, not to mention the production, delivery and operation problems that will be faced in the future.
