According to media reports, Evergrande Hengchi new energy employees have been suspended from work, and employees have ushered in an ultra-long holiday spanning the entire Spring Festival from today, totaling 90 days. According to the screenshot, Evergrande Hengchi New Energy vehicle Technology (Guangdong) announced that the company has serious operational difficulties and is in urgent need of management optimization and adjustment, because your position is temporarily out of work for a certain period of time, so it is suspended and retained. The suspension period is from December 1, 2022 to February 28, 2023, for a period of three months, which will be adjusted and informed according to the work situation. During this period, if you establish labor relations with other units, you must submit a written resignation application at least 3 working days in advance, otherwise it will be regarded as automatic contact with the company.

According to Tianyan check, Evergrande Hengchi New Energy vehicle Technology (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. was established in July 2020. it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Evergrande New Energy vehicle Investment holding Group Co., Ltd., which was established in January 2019. headquartered in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, registered capital / paid-in capital of 3.5 billion US dollars, is a subsidiary of Evergrande New Energy vehicle Holdings (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., with a stake of 99.4%. Another 0.6% stake is held by Hengda Hengchi New Energy vehicle (Guangdong) Co., Ltd.

It is worth mentioning that a few days ago, according to Sina Automobile and other media reports, Evergrande Automobile Tianjin plant is laying off staff, planning to lay off 60%, some employees have been interviewed internally, in addition, some will go on leave, but whether it is "new" news or "old" news, China Evergrande and Evergrande have not publicly responded.

On July 6th, Hengchi 5, the first production car of Hengchi New Energy, officially opened its pre-sale, and the deluxe version was pre-sold at 179000 yuan. Perhaps under the influence of Li Xiang, he Xiaopeng, Yu Chengdong and other auto industry leaders, Liu Yongzhao, president of Hengchi New Energy Automobile Group, also praised "Hengchi 5" many times at the press conference, "Hengchi 5 is the best pure electric SUV within 300000, including Bosch, mainland, Amboft, Ningde era and many other well-known supply chain enterprises have participated in the production process of Hengchi 5."

Although Evergrande's shares are still suspended and mired in a capital chain crisis, Evergrande built the car anyway, unlike some new power companies that began to say in 2019 that "mass production is only one step away". But it is still unknown when it will be delivered in mass production.

Of course, Hengchi 5 can not reflect the technical advantages of Evergrande, it is more about the integration of resources, and this is also Evergrande's strengths. Prior to this, Xu Jiayin summed up Evergrande's car-building route into five words: "Buy, buy, cooperate, circle, big, good." He believes that all the technologies and enterprises that can be bought are bought, and those that cannot be bought will cooperate. As the first mass-produced car of Evergrande, many well-known supply chain enterprises, including Bosch, mainland China, Ambofo, Ningde era, participated in the production process of Hengchi 5. Evergrande integrated these "famous brand" products together. It became the "best under 300000" Hengchi 5.

At the press conference, Hengchi released a set of data: 2483 patents were granted in the core areas of vehicle manufacturing, intelligent network connection, power battery and so on, and 3413 patents were applied for. In addition, Hengchi has also set up the Global Research Institute and the Global Battery Research Institute, bringing in more than 2000 top international research talents to carry out research and development in China, Sweden, South Korea, Japan and other places simultaneously. However, the results of these studies have not been fully reflected in Hengchi 5.

On October 29, Hengchi officially announced that the Hengchi 5 was officially delivered, with the first batch of 100 units. It is understood that Hengchi has laid out the first batch of delivery service centers in 19 cities, including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing and Haikou. Subsequent batches of vehicles will be delivered to car owners one after another.

For Hengchi, Evergrande owners or the most accurate potential customers. During the May Day holiday this year, Hengchi held touring exhibitions in Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Xi'an, Guangzhou, Hainan and other places. It should be noted that there are basically very large buildings in these cities, such as Hengda Yayuan in Xinxiang, Henan Province, Hengda Yujing Bay in Zhengzhou, and Hengda River Bay in Xi'an. Hengchi staff drove their cars into the community and prepared raffle gifts. "Hengchi 5 owners internal tasting activities" officially began. For Evergrande owners, living in Evergrande House and driving Evergrande does not sound at all against the law.

In order to promote the car, Hengchi has created a new way of transaction: the car needs to be paid only when it is delivered, the car can be returned and refunded within 15 days after picking up the car, and the purchase money is not transferred to the Evergrande account, but a special account of the notary office. and a 40% discount for three years. In view of the after-sales problem, Hengchi stressed at the press conference that it adopted an authorized business model and laid out 313 after-sales service outlets in 235 cities across the country. This wave of operation is undoubtedly to tell consumers: "buy Evergrande cars, rest assured."

Brand factors aside, pricing 178000 yuan, Hengchi 5 positioning compact pure electric SUV, compared with the same level of models is not expensive, product configuration is not very poor, not to mention Bosch, mainland, Amboford, Ningde era and other well-known supply chain manufacturers to participate in production, but these configurations together, product quality is reliable, whether it is "the best within 300000", I am afraid no one can guarantee.

According to the plan, delivery will begin in October and the target of 10,000 vehicles will be completed in the first quarter of next year. In this way, Hengchi 5 has to deliver an average of 1667 vehicles per month. Now, Evergrande has been exposed to layoffs, holiday rumors, which means that the delivery target of 10,000 vehicles may fall through. Of course, Evergrande still built the car, but how far it can go may be due to providence.
