public information shows that the above two companies that were filed for bankruptcy reorganization are the main companies of evergrande auto’s complete vehicle production base located in nansha, guangzhou. the base basically completed the main construction in 2020, but has never obtained the qualification for complete vehicle production and has not started production and operation.

industry insiders said that the bankruptcy reorganization application of the above two subsidiaries will have a certain negative impact on evergrande auto, which is already in deep trouble, because this will put a certain pressure on evergrande auto's promotion of attracting investment to revitalize the company.

the terms of the agreement also revealed that the potential buyer will provide the company with a loan to finance the group's continued operations and development of the group's electric vehicle business. evergrande auto admitted that the company is currently in serious financial shortage and the tianjin plant has not been in production since the beginning of this year.
