Mentioning Qidian Automobile, I don't know if you still have any impression? As one of the few new car-making forces to raise multiple rounds of financing and release a production model, it has been too long without news. Since the first model iS6 since it was first announced to the public in 2016, it was not until October 2018 that Singularity head Shen Haiyin announced that the Singularity iS6 had been delayed, and the listing time was expected to be around the Spring Festival of 2019, however, there is still no news about this car now.
The last news about Qidian in 2019 was shareholders selling off their shares. Shenzhen Boyong Zhidong Future Investment Partnership (limited partnership) injected 3 billion yuan into Qidian Automobile in its April 2018 financing, and thus became the fifth largest shareholder with a shareholding of about 6.38 percent.
According to the exchange documents, the value of the shares held by the shareholder is only about 300 million yuan, in other words, even if sold for 300 million, the shareholders also lost 2.7 billion yuan, would rather lose so much real money to clear the shares, this courage also want to point a praise.
Recently, the singularity of the car again exposed to news, but this time the protagonist became the singularity of the car's subsidiaries, industrial and commercial information shows that Anhui Singularity Intelligent New Energy Vehicle Company Limited scope of business has a new project, in addition to the original automobile vehicle / parts manufacturing and sales, but also increased, including the thermometer and monitoring systems, including research and development, production, sales, and import and export trade projects. Obviously, the singularity of this is to let the subsidiary to do a "side business".
On the current global market demand, thermometers such materials are certainly not worried about sales, not to mention the singularity subsidiary also added the import and export trade business scope, it is clear that this is to point the sword to the world. For car companies, the production of a mask is very easy, because the car companies have a dust plant, dust-free workshop cleanliness is extremely high, as long as there is a supply of raw materials can be.
But Chips Ahoy didn't choose a mask that would be easier to combine with its own production plant, but a thermometer, so is a thermometer good to produce?
Let's take an example of this kind of thermometer in the picture above, Beijing Kang Platinum Medical's products in the domestic market share of nearly 10%, the company's CEO, Ms. Du Han, said in an interview with the media, the company's current production capacity of up to 10,000 per day, but due to the core components such as infrared sensors, chips, the supply of unstable, and sometimes need to stop production for a few days, such as the arrival of core components and then production.
According to Du Han, infrared sensors, chips and so on mainly come from Japan, China, Taiwan and other places, which would have needed to cope with the epidemic in the local market, while the production schedule is also limited by other upstream enterprises.
As for whether the subsidiary of Qidian can successfully produce the thermometer, we do not yet know, but from the perspective of the cylinder, more hope that it can be put into production successfully and through this business to obtain cash flow and even profit, after all, the window period of car-making has passed, rather than finally become a bad project, causing investors, employees of various dissatisfaction, but also take the opportunity to transition.
