On July 20, at the first Hengchi car 720 Hengchi Festival, it was officially announced that as of 18:04 that day, the number of Hengchi 5 pre-sale orders had reached 37000. Liu Yongzhao, president of Hengchi New Energy Automobile Group, said in an interview with the media that the hardware specification of Hengchi 5 is very high, selling only 179000, which is really very competitive. It also said that after the pre-sale conference, the market reaction is very good, even better than expected, from the current point of view Hengchi big sale has become a foregone conclusion. China Evergrande announced that Hengchi 5 has received more than 37000 pre-sale orders so far.

According to the official website of Evergrande Group on September 16, the Hengchi 5 plant in Tianjin is officially in mass production and delivery will begin in October. It is worth noting that in March this year, Evergrande set a target for mass production on June 22, and then its mass production was delayed by three months due to epidemic factors. This mass production also means that its delivery time is just around the corner. Hengchi said earlier that the first batch of 10, 000 new cars will be delivered one after another from October this year, and the first batch of 10, 000 will be delivered by the first quarter of next year. At present, October is coming to an end, and there is finally news about the delivery time of Hengchi 5.

As we all know, vehicle mass production is not only the most critical step for automobile companies, but also the most difficult to achieve, and it also means that more capital investment is needed in the later stage. For Evergrande, its funds have always been scarce. In 2021, Evergrande was mired in a debt crisis, and the new energy vehicle business was regarded by Evergrande as a lifesaver. It began to seek more possibilities by selling its assets for the mass production of Hengchi 5, and even "guaranteed cars and abandoned houses". Formulated the "in the next 10 years to achieve the transformation of the real estate industry to new energy vehicles, the formation of new energy vehicles, supplemented by real estate" industry plan.

And Hengchi 5 also naturally assume the role of "savior", although Hengchi 5 production, but the amount of postpartum will also face greater financial pressure. "it is not easy to build a car itself, and it is even more difficult to build a car across the border. This is a matter of both skill and money, and timing and luck also account for three points. " Three years ago, Li Bin, founder of Xilai, said frankly, "Don't build a car without 20 billion." by 2022, the threshold will become "you can't do it without 40 billion." New energy vehicle is an industry with huge R & D investment and long return cycle, but for Evergrande, which has just achieved mass production, it is still in the early expansion stage, and the follow-up road will be very long.
