In July 2022, the current county party secretary refused to renew the loan guaranteed by Changle county government for the acquisition of Mustang.

As of 14, the financing funds were not in place as scheduled.

On the evening of the same day, the Information Office of Weifang Municipal People's Government released a message on WeChat WeChat official account "Weifang Publishing", saying that a joint investigation team composed of relevant departments of provinces and cities had been set up in Shandong Province to investigate and verify the situation in Changle County and handle it according to laws and regulations.
The whistleblower said that he was forced to falsely report the output value of 4.683 billion yuan.
According to public information, Reading Automobile was established in 2008, and its initial main business project was low-speed electric vehicles. At that time, there were not many competitors in the market, and Reading quickly occupied the market, which opened up its popularity and influence in the field of low-speed electric vehicles.
However, due to the variety and uneven quality of low-speed electric vehicle products, most enterprises grow wildly and lack unified supervision and guidance. In 20 18, six ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, jointly issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Low-speed Electric Vehicles, explicitly requiring that the products in use of illegal electric vehicles be eliminated through replacement, repurchase and encouraging scrapping.
Since then, low-speed electric vehicles that have been in the gray area for a long time have gradually withdrawn from the market stage. At the same time, however, the continuous warming of the new energy vehicle market has also enabled reading to see greater market opportunities. 2065438+April 2008, Reading Automobile acquired Shaanxi Qin Xing Automobile, obtained the production qualification of new energy commercial vehicles and special vehicles, and established Reading Qin Xing new energy automobile production base in Xianyang.
On the basis of obtaining the production qualification, Yuewen Automobile acquired Sichuan Automobile Mustang in June of 20 19 for 145 billion yuan, and obtained the production qualification of new energy vehicles, fuel passenger cars and buses.
In 20021year, Yuewen Automobile launched the main model-Yuewen Mango, which mainly focused on the A00 pure electric mini-car market. According to public data, in 20021year, the cumulative sales volume of mangoes in Reading was more than 30,000.

However, the good times did not last long. In 2022, the development of reading was in trouble and the capital chain was in crisis. On June165438+1October 2 1 of that year, the company announced the completion of Series A financing, with an overall financing scale of 3.2 billion yuan. It is reported that this round of financing was led by Weifang Weicheng Western Investment and Development Group, followed by state-owned capital, industry and private capital in Shandong Province.
In the tip-off, Li Guoxin also mentioned this financing, saying that in July, 2022, after the loans guaranteed by Changle county government for the acquisition of Mustang cars expired one after another, Lawrence Wang, the current county party secretary, stopped renewing the loans for reading cars. After several times of communication, there is still no result. Even Weifang sent a working group to Changle to coordinate and solve it, but it still didn't solve it. Subsequently, the company realized financing of 3.2 billion yuan through external capital investment, but as of today, the financing funds have not been put in place as scheduled.
In addition, the tip-off letter pointed out that Lawrence Wang, the current county party secretary of Changle County, has forced large local enterprises such as Reading to falsely report tens of billions of industrial output value and sales output value since March 2022 in order to show his personal achievements. Among them, Wenwen Automobile falsely reported 4.683 billion yuan in 2022.
Li Guoxin said that as the founder of the enterprise, he was worried that offending Secretary Lawrence Wang and being listed as a "statistical untrustworthy enterprise" would affect the enterprise's credit reporting. After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to report the data as required.
In response to the report of the founder of Redding Automobile, Shandong Province has set up a joint investigation team composed of relevant departments of provinces and cities to investigate and verify the situation in Changle County.
The car payment owed to the dealer was complained.
The A00-class electric vehicle Reading Mango launched by Reading Auto belongs to the same market segment as Wuling Hong Guang MINIEV. According to public data, the data shows that in the first half of 200212002, sales of A00-class new energy vehicles accounted for 36%, making it the largest market segment, with a year-on-year growth rate much higher than other market segments.
Facing the blowout of the market, Yuewen Automobile has set an ambitious sales target, that is, to achieve sales of 2 million vehicles in 2025. In terms of sales channels, Reading plans to cover 2,845 districts and counties nationwide in 2025, realizing the overall sinking of channel services.
However, due to the epidemic situation, soaring raw materials and other factors, in 2022, the sales of Reading cars fell off a cliff, and the company's operation was once in crisis.
According to the information published by China Judgment Document Network, as a result of losing the contract dispute, Yuewen Automobile Group has been ruled to freeze funds for many times. It is reported that in June 2022 alone, 165438+ 10, Yuewen Automobile was listed as the executor by several courts for 8 times.

According to the judgment, Wenwen Automobile argued that the plaintiff's payment was not unreasonably delayed because of the company's operational difficulties.
On the black cat complaint platform, there are also many complaints that Reading is in arrears with the dealer's car payment. An anonymous person said, "The Redding manufacturer is in arrears with the dealer's car payment and will not start work for one year. There is no show car in the shop.
