20 19, Li Bin, the godfather of tourism, is considered as the "worst person".
Because the Weilai car he built wholeheartedly may be dangerous. Too many difficulties are superimposed on this new car-making enterprise that has just been established for four years. Stock price drop, product recall, company layoffs, it seems that they have not escaped any difficulties, and they all want to roll on it.
Under the negative situation, Wei Lai's story of "finding another husband" has been circulated in many versions.
2065438+In May 2009, Weilai and Yizhuang International reached a framework agreement. According to the agreement, Weilai China will settle in Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, and Yizhuang International will inject 654.38 billion yuan into Weilai China. However, the result is "an absurd dream".
At the beginning of 2020, news spread like wildfire. It is said that Geely Automobile intends to take a stake in Weilai Automobile and plans to invest 300 million US dollars. According to legend, the objects of marriage also included GAC and SAIC, but in the end they were all "blown away"
Until February 25th, Hefei Municipal Government signed a contract with Weilai China. The project includes the establishment of Weilai China headquarters in Hefei, and the establishment of R&D, sales and production bases. Since then, Hefei has become a strategic investor of Weilai Automobile, which not only acts as a credit endorsement with government background, but also directly brings real money to Weilai.
After the smooth injection of strong investment power, Weilai ushered in a new period of "good things continue".
The stock price rose and tens of billions of credits were granted, so Weilai spent the "money shortage".
2020 is destined to be an extraordinary year.
Affected by the epidemic situation and industry adjustment, the automobile market reduced 2.25 million new cars in the first half of the year, down 22.5% year-on-year, which brought a fatal blow to many tail car companies.
Fortunately, Weilai Automobile survived. After the ultimate compressive strength of 20 19, in the face of the impact of the epidemic in 2020, Weilai Automobile can calmly face it.
On April 29th, the project agreement for Weilai China to settle in Hefei was formally signed, and the "7 billion investment" finally landed. On the same day, Weilai's share price rose by nearly 20%.
On June 10, Weilai Automobile announced the issuance of 60 million American Depositary Shares at an issue price of $5.97. It is estimated that the net income of raised funds will exceed $340 million.
19 In June, Tencent continued to invest in Weilai Automobile, and purchased1680,000 American Depositary Shares through one of its subsidiaries, with a capital contribution of * * *100,000 USD. As a result, Tencent's shareholding in Weilai Automobile reached 15. 1%, firmly occupying the top spot of the second largest shareholder. (Subsequently, Tencent is still increasing its holdings, and the latest shareholding ratio even reached 16.3%.)
On July 10, in Hefei, six banks announced that they would provide comprehensive credit of 104 billion yuan to Weilai China. This is a icing on the cake credit card, which can be used for more than 654.38+000 billion yuan. Weilai Automobile basically solved the problem of "money shortage".
The capital market is smooth, and Weilai's share price has risen from the bottom two or three dollars to today's thirteen or four dollars. It can be seen that capital's confidence in Weilai Automobile is sufficient.
There is a joke on the Internet that Hefei municipal government is the best venture capital institution with far-reaching layout and wide enough pattern.
Hefu made a profit of 654.38+0 billion by investing in BOE before, and then invested in Changxin/Zhao Yi Innovation, which was considered as a bet against semiconductor.
This time, Weilai Automobile has become an important map for Hefei to build a new energy city. At present, it is a good choice.
In fact, the two are mutually successful.
Weilai is the most likely to survive among the new forces that build cars. Do you still remember the ranking of the number of patents of the new forces in building cars? Weilai Automobile ranks first in China with 3,465 patent applications, which is considered as a solid car.
With the credit endorsement of Hefei Municipal Government, Weilai Automobile's financing plan this year has paved the way.
Nowadays, 20 18, the new car-making forces that have risen one after another are actually disappearing secretly. It can also be said that they met a big test of life and death, and if they can't survive, they will explode.
Take three new car-making enterprises named by CCTV as examples. Batten, Lindsay and Bojun are all in the "postal area". On the surface or inside, they obviously encountered a huge financial crisis, which may even turn into a series of scams. It's embarrassing to meet them.
The elimination of new cars is accelerated. Who is left in the end?
The book is still going on, and the industry has been arguing for a long time about which new forces remain. In fact, the answer slowly surfaced.
Let's look at a set of numbers that are unlikely to lie. How many cars did these new forces sell from June 5438 to May 2020?
The sales differentiation between head brand and tail brand has been quite obvious.
We draw a standard line and think that we must sell at least 100 cars every month before we can "survive". Then, 1-May, counting down from the seventh zero sports car, may all be eliminated. Among them, there are many Aichi cars, Hechuang cars and Singularity cars that have high hopes.
So, what is the pattern of the head market?
Weilai Automobile sold 65,438+00,324 vehicles from June to May. According to the latest news, 3,740 vehicles were delivered in June, basically ranking first in new car sales.
Li/KLOC-0 sold 7,775 vehicles in May, opening the exclusive market with the differentiated product characteristics of "large size and 7 seats SUV+ extended range".
Then Xpeng Motors and Weimar compete for the third place in sales.
After all, industry reshuffle, "3" is a safe number. The industry believes that the new car in the future can only accommodate three brands. Then, whose top three sales are very important.
Weilai automobile has a high probability of survival. In terms of subsidy policy, there is even a "leniency policy", and more than 300,000 people can continue to enjoy subsidies. Only the Weilai family insisted on the mode of exchanging power for power.
To survive, we must differentiate and produce sincere products.
Weilai Automobile ES8 and ES6 locate SUVs, "separation of vehicle and electricity" can provide a better charging experience, and OTA capability is slowly filling the software shortcomings.
The service is the highest level. Although the cost is not small, it does form a unique competitive advantage of Weilai Automobile. Therefore, Weilai users are quite sticky, and even many orders are recommended by old users.
The smooth financing in the first half of the year made Wei Lai breathe a sigh of relief.
Now Weilai chooses to live in Hefei, and should try to polish the products. However, the crisis has not been completely lifted. As Li Bin said, Weilai just moved from "intensive care unit" to "general ward", and efforts are still needed.
As of the first quarter of 2020, the gross profit of Weilai Automobile is still negative, and it can only be said that it has turned losses into negative 68.29 million yuan.
Capital is profit-seeking. If there is no hope of profit, the capital will be scattered. They are always icing on the cake, but they can't do it in time. Weilai automobile is the most credible, only it and its users who are willing to stand with it in trouble.
Come on, new car manufacturer.
