Recently, it has been linked to "negative news". With the release of Evergrande Health's 20 19 financial report, the financial report shows that the new energy vehicle business lost 3.2 billion yuan in 20 19. Behind this "huge loss", people can't help worrying about Evergrande's dream of building a car. Next, Brother Guan Shui will tell you the story of Evergrande building a car in chronological order.
The beginning of the story dates back to June 20 18, when two men with dreams of building cars met. That year, Jia Yueting suffered a broken capital chain, and the whole world no longer believed in Jia Yueting. In this case, Xu Jiayin, regardless of gossip, insisted on buying Jia Yueting's FF. At this time, FF talents have complete patents. According to the agreement, Evergrande will pay the money in three installments: before the end of 20 18. 2065 438+09 6 billion dollars; Pay $600 million in 2020.
Xu Jiayin was ready to take over FF from the beginning, but Jia Yueting had no intention of giving up control of FF. On the last day of 20 18, Xu Jiayin and Jia Yueting suddenly parted ways, and Evergrande, which has invested 800 million US dollars, also stopped investing. The initial investment of US$ 800 million is converted into 32% priority equity of FF, and 100% holds FF Hong Kong. Jia Yueting can buy back 32%FF equity held by Evergrande within five years.
After Jia Yueting, Xu Jiayin did not choose to give up making cars, but still adopted the "buy while buy" approach to make new energy vehicles. On 20 19 and 1 month, Evergrande entered the global electric vehicle enterprise NEVS, Carnac and e-Traction in the Netherlands. NEVS Company came to Tianjin to set up a factory in Gaoxin No.2 Road, Binhai High-tech Zone, and "Evergrande New Energy Vehicle" was established.
On March 16 of the same year, the Global Strategic Partner Summit of Evergrande Energy New Energy Automobile Group was held in Tianjin, and all domestic and foreign industry experts and partners were present. Xu Jiayin vowed at the summit that the first electric vehicle will be fully put into production in June, and it is expected to be sold globally in the near future.
Evergrande's only new car, Guoneng 93, is a Volkswagen pure electric vehicle based on Saab Phoenix technology platform, and its performance is not very optimistic. Before August, 20 19, only eight cars were sold, and the delivery date was postponed several times, first in April, then in August, and finally in September, which was not smooth. Originally, everyone thought that Evergrande's new energy vehicles would surprise the world, but Guoneng 93 was somewhat counterproductive.
However, judging from the development track of Evergrande's car building, this year is the moment for Evergrande to exert its strength. Although on March 22nd, Evergrande Health issued a profit warning announcement, revealing that the net loss of Evergrande's new energy automobile business in 20 19 was 3.2 billion yuan, plus the loss in 20 18 was 654,380.7 billion yuan, the total loss in two years was nearly 5 billion yuan. This means that after two years of building cars, Evergrande's new energy vehicles have no expectation of revenue.
The good news is that Peng Jianjun, vice chairman of Evergrande Health Group and president of Swedish NEVS Company, said that Evergrande's new energy vehicle project is progressing smoothly, and "Hengchi 1" will be unveiled this year. The production bases in Nansha, Guangdong and Songjiang, Shanghai will be completed in the second half of this year and put into production in 20021year, with the planned production capacity of 200,000 vehicles in the first phase, which will provide a strong guarantee for the comprehensive mass production of Hengchi products in 20021year.
It is worth noting that while Evergrande Health and China Evergrande announced the news of poor performance, an unprecedented employee transfer was going on within Evergrande Group. 30% employees in different departments suddenly received a transfer order to go to Evergrande's newly established company "Hengdabao", but they didn't talk much about the specific business and related arrangements of the new company. It is reported that this adjustment may involve about 180 employees of Evergrande New Energy Vehicle.
Although many insiders predict that Evergrande New Energy may continue to lose money in 2020, horizontally, the annual loss of Evergrande New Energy is not the highest in the industry. The data shows that Weilai Automobile, which is also a new car manufacturer, has accumulated losses of 22 billion yuan in the past four years, with an average annual loss of more than 5 billion yuan. Moreover, Evergrande New Energy, backed by Evergrande Group, has strong financial resources, and "not bad money" is its biggest label.
Written in the last words:
From "building a house" to "building a car", is it a positive transformation of the real estate giant behind Evergrande's seemingly unreasonable brand? Although it burned 5 billion yuan, it didn't build a good car. Brother Guan Shui felt that "Guoneng 93" was only the beginning of the story of Evergrande's car-building. The first real Evergrande car will be available soon, which may surprise us then.
