The dilemma of Chery behind the

control change

The background of

Chery's birth can be traced back to 1993, when the economically backward Wuhu city began to establish its own automobile industry. In 1995, Zhan Xialai, then assistant to the mayor of Wuhu City, was in charge of the work of Wuhu Automobile Plant. The following year, he recruited Yin Tongyue, who had originally worked for FAW-Volkswagen, to Wuhu to begin preparations for the vehicle project.

In 1997, Chery Automobile was established on the basis of the original Anhui Auto Parts Company.

On December 18, 1999, the first Chery Fengyun car rolled off the production line. At that time, China was in the era of strict control of automobile production capacity. Chery Automobile did not obtain a "birth permit" and was not legally allowed to go on sale. As in other places, under the operation of the local government, Chery Fengyun first entered the Wuhu taxi market, then listed on the Wuhu bus catalog, and sold it in other provinces as the bus catalog.

In January 2001, through the coordination of the State Economic and Trade Commission, Chery Automobile and SAIC Motor were married, thus having the legal right to produce and sell automobiles.

From 2001 to 2010, the Chinese auto market continued to blow out, and Chery also ushered in its first glorious 10 years. In 2011, Chery created the best sales performance in history of 640,000 vehicles, the largest sales volume of its own brand for 11 consecutive years, and the largest export volume for 9 consecutive years.

According to a report from China Business News, Chery's financial data in recent years is not optimistic.

In 2011, Chery's net cash flow was negative, operating profit was negative, and the return on net assets was close to zero. In fact, in most years from 2005 to 2019, Chery Automobile's operating profit was negative, with only 2006, 2007, 2013 and 2017 operating profit being positive.

Chery’s main profit unit is the Chery Jaguar Land Rover joint venture. From 2016 to 2018, Chery Automobile has received cash dividends of 585 million yuan, 466 million yuan and 1.535 billion yuan from Chery Jaguar Land Rover. yuan.

According to information released by Chery Holdings, focusing on the automotive industry chain, Chery Holdings has gathered nearly 900 auto and parts companies in Wuhu, driving an output value of 180 billion yuan. Nearly 40 Fortune 500 companies have invested in Wuhu due to close cooperation with Chery. Home, and 150,000 jobs were created overall. In 2018, the GDP of Wuhu City was 327.853 billion yuan.

From 2016 to 2018, Chery Automobile’s operating income was 32.964 billion yuan, 29.471 billion yuan and 25.231 billion yuan, but the total debt increased from 2016 to 2018. The year’s 58.12 billion yuan increased to 60.565 billion yuan. The ever-increasing debt burden has overwhelmed Chery and the Wuhu municipal government, and introducing new investors has become a practical choice.

For two consecutive years, the Wuhu municipal government has proposed a share reform plan for Chery Automobile, which all involve changes in controlling shares. This move shows the open attitude of Wuhu on the one hand. On the other hand, it also shows that the local government may have been powerless to rescue Chery.

Many interviewees of

all have expectations for the ongoing share reform. They hope that the change of controlling rights will not only solve Chery’s most important debt problem, but also introduce new mechanisms and new thinking to bring real changes and Rebirth.

"The benefit of the share reform is actually that it hopes to correct all Chery’s problems in terms of the relationship between business owners, operators, corporate management systems and systems. Capital has its own logic and inherent incentives, and it will change Chery. ." Chery insiders said.
