Gree invested 1.8 billion yuan in Zhuhai Yinlong, and Dong Mingzhu’s dream of building a car has a sequel?

Real estate is too profitable, so Gree never touches real estate. Because it is too easy to make money, no one wants to engage in manufacturing, thus losing the spirit of challenge. I have always thought that corporate profits are inevitable, but they are not the purpose. So even if we lose money, we will continue to do manufacturing. -Dong Mingzhu

Dong Mingzhu has an enigmatic insistence on manufacturing. On Gree’s official website, the slogan "Let the world fall in love with Made in China" is impressively written.

During the years when Dong Mingzhu took the helm of Gree, Gree gradually emerged. As one of the best manufacturing enterprises in China, Gree has been practicing the power of science and technology with quality.

Although the cross-border of Gree has not been successful in recent years, as one of the most generous companies, Gree has created the greatest benefits for shareholders.

In 2016, Dong Mingzhu decided to enter the automotive field, as the world’s largest outlet. Later, the popularity of Tesla also proved Dong Mingzhu’s foresight.

What Dong Mingzhu didn’t expect was that Gree Electric’s proposal to buy Zhuhai Yinlong was rejected by a group of small and medium-sized shareholders. In order to cut into the field of car manufacturing, Dong Mingzhu paid 1 billion yuan, and then Wang Jianlin and Liu Qiangdong jointly invested 3 billion yuan to acquire 22.388% of Zhuhai Yinlong’s equity. Later, she personally increased her shareholding all the way to 17.46%.

However, Dong Mingzhu’s luck is really bad. With the decline of subsidies for new energy vehicles and the contradiction with Wei Yincang, the founder of Zhuhai Yinlong, this enterprise gradually lost its "voice" in the market.

Since July last year, Yinlong’s equity auction has been going on, and the unit price of equity has also dropped from 35 yuan/share, but there are still very few people concerned.

On the evening of August 31st, an announcement in Gree Electric brought Zhuhai Yinlong back to the stage. Gree said that the company acquired a 30.47% stake in Zhuhai Yinlong at a price of 1.828 billion through public bidding through judicial auction. At the same time, Dong Mingzhu also entrusted Gree with the voting rights corresponding to his 17.46% equity.

After the completion of this transaction, Gree Electric will become the controlling shareholder of Zhuhai Yinlong.

According to the contents of Gree’s announcement, Gree Electric held a seven-member board of directors chaired by Dong Mingzhu on August 30th, and all the other six directors agreed to the above transactions except Dong Mingzhu who abstained from voting because of related party transactions.

And the transaction does not constitute a major asset restructuring, so it does not need to be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for consideration.

Regarding the acquisition, Gree Electric said in the announcement that in order to actively respond to the national "double carbon" goal and related policies, we should accelerate the diversified development.

In fact, Gree has been trying to diversify in recent years, but it has not been very successful. In addition to the mobile phone business, the pressure on new energy projects is also relatively large. However, in recent years, the fire of new energy has driven the whole industrial chain, and the energy storage-related sectors are also a development direction in the future.

Therefore, I think that after Gree holds Yinlong, Yinlong will have three development directions in the future:

First, get rid of the baggage and start again. In the past two years, Yinlong has been listed as an executor for many times, and it has been executed for six times in the first half of this year. The latest execution target is about 240 million yuan. At present, the company has no property available for execution;

Second, get "blood transfusion" and increase production capacity. In the past two years, due to the reconstruction of the value of the new energy vehicle industry, Weilai Automobile and Xpeng Motors have achieved good results in the capital market. If Yinlong can increase production capacity and complete the upgrade, it is not counted that the current price wins the controlling stake of Yinlong;

Third, strengthen the cooperative relationship between Gree and Yinlong, for example, equip Yinlong new energy vehicles with Gree air conditioners, and take the opportunity to open the car air conditioning market. At present, air conditioning is still Gree’s main income, accounting for more than 70% of its revenue. As long as Gree can take the opportunity to open up new markets, then the acquisition is successful.

On the whole, Yinlong has reached an important juncture. If Gree does not help, the road of Yinlong will become more and more difficult. After Gree enters the market, its dream of new energy may be "rekindled".

Geely nova joins the price war! Down 17 thousand, configuration upgrade, satisfied

Zhiyi automobile/Xiaofan

At the same time, the new car is planned to be officially launched on October 23rd, and its competitors are also locked into Changan CS75 PLUS, Honda CR-V and other models. With reference to the current Geely Xingyue L, the price range is 137,200-185,200 yuan.

In terms of appearance, according to the exposed pictures, the 2025 Geely Xingyue L continues the design language of the current model as a whole. The front face will also be replaced with a large-size "straight waterfall" grille design, with a brand-new silver brand LOGO running through it, and with matrix headlights on both sides, its actual effect is also more prominent. At the same time, the new car will also make some adjustments for the lower enclosure, plus the diversion grooves on both sides, which will also create a good sports atmosphere.

On the side of the car body, the whole car has not changed much. Two sultry waistlines run from the front of the car to the rear of the car, and with the design of new dense spoke wheels, it also gives people a strong sense of movement. At the same time, the new car still adopts the design of traditional door handles, which will be more in line with consumers’ car habits compared with mainstream models. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4770/1895/1689mm and the wheelbase is 2845 mm.

In terms of tail, the new car will still adopt the design of penetrating taillights, and the interior will be blackened. It is expected that the visual recognition will be more prominent after lighting. At the same time, a new green paint will be added to the new car, which will better meet the diversified car demand of young consumers.

As for the interior, the new car will add a white interior to choose from. You know, the current white interior is deeply loved by consumers. At the same time, the center console of the new car will also be integrated with 12.3-inch LCD instrument +12.3-inch central control screen+co-driver entertainment screen. With the three-position multi-function steering wheel, the overall feeling is also full of science and technology. Moreover, the new car will continue to use the Galaxy OS system and will not upgrade Meizu FlymeAuto. In terms of configuration, compared with the old models, the new car will also come standard with functions such as seat massage, headrest audio and two rows of electric seats, which can basically meet the needs of most consumers.

In terms of power, the new car will also be built based on the CMA architecture platform, and will continue to be equipped with a 2.0T+8AT powertrain, and still provide two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models, with a maximum power of 175kW and a peak torque of 350 N m. In terms of suspension, the new car will also be equipped with CDC variable damping suspension, which can show a relatively stable body posture even when dealing with some complicated road conditions.

In terms of price, the pre-sale price range of new cars is 170,000-180,000 yuan. As for the final pricing of the new car after listing? It also deserves our common concern. What do you think of this? Welcome everyone to leave a message below to discuss.

Firmly fight the "technical war" and "value war" and Roewe’s "D strategy" will be effective

According to the latest data of SAIC passenger cars, Roewe’s new energy sales accounted for 45% in 2023, a significant increase of 29% year-on-year, among which the sales of hybrid vehicles increased by nearly 8% year-on-year. Mainly due to the continuous "boarding" of the DMH super hybrid system and the rapid "quantity" of the Roewe D7 DMH equipped with this system, the Roewe brand quickly gained a foothold in the hybrid car market. In addition, driven by Roewe D7 EV, Roewe iMAX8 EV and other pure electric vehicles, Roewe brand also achieved a substantial increase in sales in the high-end pure tram market.

The new kinetic energy generated by new technologies such as SAIC’s new energy technology base and Roewe DMH super hybrid system is pushing Roewe brand to leap forward.

Play the trump card of DMH hybrid technology and push the heavy SUV again this year.

With the advantages of energy saving, no mileage anxiety, and richer car use scenarios, hybrid vehicles have become a "dark horse" that can’t be ignored in driving the new energy auto market, and will usher in a new golden development period in the next few years.

Roewe, which has occupied the position of hybrid king for a long time, has once again taken the lead after more than ten years of accumulation, showing the trump card of refreshing the industry technical benchmark-DMH super hybrid system. The system integrates innovative technologies such as powertrain brain PICU and coaxial P1 motor pioneered by the industry, which will be the anchor point of Roewe’s "standing on DMH technology and breaking the game with long-term value" in the new era. Last year, Roewe released the "D Strategy", one of the cores of which is to "master the core technologies that affect the future development of the industry", upgrade the car experience with core technologies, and create long-term value for users. Facing the fully market-oriented new energy vehicle market, it is Roewe’s way to break through by firmly fighting "technology war" and "value war".

Roewe D7 DMH, a "super hybrid cloud car" launched in November last year, directly hit the competing products in the price range of 100,000 with the experience, quality and price of the B-class car, rewriting the value definition of the B-class car by the joint venture brand in one fell swoop, and relying on the advantages of the real long battery life of 1704km in winter, the measured fuel consumption of 3.4L km, and the industry-leading Yunsu intelligent cockpit, the order for listing in one month exceeded 10,000. Roewe D7 proves with strength that the more "involuted" the market is, the more it needs excellent technical strength, and DMH super hybrid technology is undoubtedly the basis for Roewe D7 to reshape the market competition pattern.

The strong support of new technologies has also enabled the Roewe brand’s hybrid products to be "new" quickly. It is expected that in March this year, the long-life hybrid SUV market will welcome Roewe D5DMH, the first SUV model of Roewe "D family". Roewe will continue to anchor the "trump card" and "heavy position" of DMH super hybrid technology in the hybrid market, and accelerate the replacement of "basic disk" fuel vehicles in the automobile consumer market.

Technology-driven pure electric quality upgrade, increasing the proportion of high-value products.

With the introduction of new products by major new energy manufacturers, the industry is moving towards full-scale market competition, and new energy vehicles will eventually return to the "challenge ring" that speaks with product strength, especially for pure electric vehicles with relatively higher prices, which have entered the "final circle" that is driven by technology to upgrade quality and experience.

Roewe D7 EV, a "rear-drive pure electric cloud car", with its safe and reliable quality and driving experience comparable to that of a 300,000-class high-performance car, jumped to the second place in the market segment of "pure electric car with a long battery life of more than 500 kilometers within 200,000" in Shanghai, the consumer vane of the pure electric car market. In addition, the Roewe D7 EV has sold more than 60% of the rear-drive flagship version with a price of 150,000 yuan or more, which shows that the market has a strong demand for high-quality pure electric cars.

For pure electric vehicle users, platform architecture, battery safety, cruising range, etc. are all the focus of attention. The Roewe D7 EV built on the exclusive systematic platform of pure electricity of "SAIC Nebula" is different from some hot-selling "oil-to-electricity" models in the market, and its original pure electricity architecture optimizes the utilization of internal space from the source, providing a 101L "unique" super-large front reserve box of the same class. On the battery safety that users are most concerned about, Roewe D7 EV adopts Ningde zero-combustion battery, which has five protection mechanisms. The ultra-thin "recumbent" battery with the leading energy density at the same level brings a pure electric cruising range of up to 610km, which is enough for daily commuting. Roewe D7 EV has improved the travel quality of users with its "true pure electricity" strength superior to its peers.

In addition, the Roewe D7 EV, which is beside the technology, has ended the embarrassing experience of the user’s "pure electric old man car", and proved that hundreds of thousands of cars can also talk about performance with strength. Roewe D7 EV is equipped with VGA six-in-one electric drive new three-electric technology. The maximum power of the motor is 145KW, the maximum torque is 310N·m, and the power is far ahead. In addition, the rear drive+five-link independent suspension further enhances the handling experience and greatly satisfies the user’s driving experience.

In 2024, it will be a crucial year for SAIC to implement the "Three-year Action Plan for the Development of New Energy Vehicles". Roewe will continue to increase the number of new energy tracks, anchor the core technology to break through, and take the real experience of users as the starting point, and continue to transform the technical value into user value, drive the core market with core technology, and continuously improve the travel quality and car experience of users. In the next three years, Roewe will launch nine new energy vehicles with the "D family" as the core, and realize full coverage of all categories from pure electric to hybrid, from compact to middle and advanced, from cars to SUVs and MPVs.

UPS service arrangement during the spring festival

  Pay attention to the suspension time of express service for large items.

  In terms of express delivery, according to the incomplete statistics of The Paper reporter, except for Debon Express’s big-ticket delivery, many major express delivery companies in the industry have not closed during the Spring Festival, so it is necessary to pay attention to the suspension time of various services.

  Express business mainly focuses on large-scale freight transportation, and provides door-to-door transportation services for objects larger than express parcels in weight, quantity and volume. At present, the main participants in the domestic LTL market include SF Express, Debon Express, Anneng Logistics, Baishi Express and Zhongtong Express.

  Debon Express said that during the Spring Festival, the express service network will cover the whole country, with more than 5,000+direct outlets operating normally. Except for the epidemic situation and remote areas, it can provide normal collection and delivery services, and will continue to provide delivery services such as "booking before delivery, delivery upstairs", and insist on going upstairs for free up to 60kg.

Anneng Logistics announced that the company’s car line will be gradually stopped before the holiday, and local outlets can be consulted for specific delivery time throughout the country. The timeliness of receiving and sending goods before and after the Spring Festival may be affected. Please make arrangements in advance.

  Pay attention to the safety of express delivery and disinfection inside and outside.

  Under the repeated epidemic situation, the safety of domestic and international express parcels once became the focus of public attention. Relevant personnel of several express delivery companies have previously told the The Paper reporter that there is no operation to prompt whether there are risks in packages delivered in China, and users need to know the route of each package’s transportation process by themselves. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to public opinion information related to national epidemic prevention and control in real time.

  According to CCTV news reports, on January 19th this year, Zhang Liubo, chief expert of disinfection science of China CDC, said that Covid-19 would not only pollute the packaging of mail, but also the goods inside, so we should attach great importance to the spread risk of the goods inside the packaging.

  Major express delivery companies have carried out multi-layer disinfection of parcels in various links of express delivery, but the disinfection and protection of express goods still need to be carried out by users themselves. According to the tips of "safe delivery" given by Yuantong Express, users wear masks to take delivery, reduce contact and communication with couriers, and try to keep it above 1 meter if they need to sign for it; Take 75% alcohol or prepared 84 disinfectant and spray it on the courier box. If not, try not to touch it directly with your hands, but wear disposable gloves or put paper towels on it. Try not to bring the courier box into your home, and then throw it at the designated place when you go out to throw the courier;After the goods are brought into the home, spray alcohol on the purchased goods or leave them in a dry and ventilated place for 30 minutes..

British media reported that Putin was considering resigning as prime minister (photo)


Medvedev (left) held talks with Putin last week.


  □ Morning News reporter Xu Huifen


  The British "Guardian" recently reported that the financial crisis that hit Russia’s economy began to break the delicate power balance in Russian politics, and the internal struggle weakened the authority of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and further worsened his relationship with President Dmitry Medvedev. There are rumors that Putin is considering resigning as prime minister in order not to make himself the focus of public dissatisfaction.


  In recent months, the friction between Putin and Medvedev has frequently appeared in the western media. It has been reported that the western media have made a "deep-seated" interpretation of some news, claiming that there is a crack in the "Mapp combination". In fact, it is to hype the relationship between Mapp and Russia to achieve the purpose of singing down Russia in the context of the financial crisis.


  The power struggle between the two factions put Putin in an awkward position.


  According to the Guardian, there are more and more signs that a "powerful group" with Putin as the core and figures from the military and security system is fighting with the economic liberals headed by Medvedev for control of the rapidly shrinking national finance.


  The conflict between the two factions put Putin in an awkward position. This "mysterious figure" who worked in the former Soviet National Security Council (KGB) for 15 years has a deep connection with powerful groups, but at the same time, Putin has an extraordinary relationship with some liberals from his hometown of St. Petersburg.


  Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin is one of the important figures at the center of the power struggle. He is unpopular with powerful groups, and he warns powerful groups and private companies with interests in powerful groups that the state will limit financial assistance to large companies.


  Micael, a former economic policy adviser to the government, said that powerful groups always wanted to get rid of Kudrin, but for Putin, Kudrin was one of his assistants and an old ally when he was in St. Petersburg.


  Some experts believe that when Putin tried to control the conflict between the two factions, his own position gradually weakened and the relationship with Medvedev also appeared cracks. "In the past, Putin often played the role of’ arbitrator’, above the two factions of powerful groups and rational economists." Political analyst Demiche said, "But now, he has been dragged into this fight, and he has even been’ attacked from both sides’. For powerful groups, Putin is too weak, while economists gather more around Medvedev. "
