Chang 'an Weilai is interested in it again, and Huawei may be interested in participating in it.

Recently, it was reported that Huawei intends to take a stake in An Weilai, the chairman of the new energy automobile company, but it may not be contributed by Huawei, and it may invest through its funds.

"Only" Changan Weilai

According to the data, on July 1, 218, Changan Automobile and Weilai reached a cooperation and established Changan Weilai. The chairman is Li Bin, founder, chairman and CEO of Weilai Automobile, the vice chairman is Li Wei, executive vice president of Changan Automobile, and the CEO is Yang Fang from Changan. Changan Weilai said at the beginning of its establishment that Changan Automobile and Weilai Automobile held 45% of the shares respectively, and the other 1% was held by the senior management team.

but in fact, Chang' an Weilai's trend has been unclear since its establishment, and there is no substantive product. It was not until two years later that there was a new movement in the company-the shareholding ratio and senior personnel changed greatly.

on June 4th this year, the industrial and commercial information of Chang 'an Weilai changed. Li Bin and Li Wei both withdrew from the management list, and Changan Weilai Chairman &; The executive vice president is Tan Benhong, executive vice president of Changan Automobile. At the same time, the registered capital of Changan Weilai increased from 98 million yuan to 188 million yuan, with an increase rate of 92%. So far, Changan Automobile's latest shareholding ratio has reached 95.38%.

Changan Weilai is directly controlled by Changan Automobile, which makes the already quiet lake begin to ripple, which will inevitably attract the attention of people from all walks of life.

It is worth noting that in August last year, Changan revealed the development trend of Chang 'an Weilai, saying that the high-end brand of Chang 'an would be the responsibility of Chang 'an Weilai team. Earlier, Tan Benhong, executive vice president of Changan Automobile, said: "Changan Automobile must build a mid-to high-end brand by working with its partners". In other words, the high-end brand of Changan will be built by Changan Weilai and its partners.

It is not difficult to see that Changan has not made a final decision on "partners". According to the current shareholding ratio of Changan in Changan Weilai, the chances of close cooperation between Changan and Weilai are not great, and their relationship is gradually alienating.

At this time, Huawei may become one of the partners chosen by Changan Automobile.

Huawei, which claims to "never build a car"

As we all know, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., established in 1987, is mainly involved in the field of information and communication technology, and its business products cover mobile phones, mobile broadband terminals, terminal clouds and so on.

if you put Huawei and car manufacturing together, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely what founder ren zhengfei said, "Huawei will never make a car, and will never make a car. We are the module of car networking, and we do the electronic part of the car-edge computing, and we may be the best in the world. But it is not a car, we have to cooperate with the car and use our module to enter autonomous driving. "

Ren Zhengfei dares to say it, but the public dares to believe it.

officials once believed in the saying "Huawei will never build a car". Indeed, in the car networking module, Huawei has its own achievements.

In p>218, Huawei launched a self-driving mobile data center; 219? In, HUAWEI released "Huawei? HiCar? Ecological White Paper, Defining Vehicle-Machine Interconnection? 2., the product is a "people-car-home" full-scene intelligent interconnection solution with smart phones as the core, which is expected to break the current situation? Android? Monopoly position of locomotive and locomotive system; In the same year, Huawei purchased high-precision map data products of four-dimensional maps, further promoting the automatic driving landing.

these are just the tip of the iceberg of Huawei's layout of the automobile industry. With the rapid development of the automobile industry, Huawei's "involvement" is likely to become the basis of "foothold".

according to the enterprise investigation data, on August 7th this year, Huawei added a number of patent information, including "an automatic driving method and terminal equipment for motor vehicles", "methods and devices for controlling the driving direction of smart cars" and "methods and systems for identifying traffic lights, computing equipment and smart cars".

on August 13th, the industrial and commercial information of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. changed, and the business scope added "R&D, production, sales and service of auto parts and intelligent systems".

On September 8th, Huawei invested in the establishment of Huawei Electric Technology Co., Ltd., whose business scope includes engineering and technical research and experimental development. Intelligent vehicle equipment sales; Intelligent vehicle equipment manufacturing; Intelligent vehicle equipment sales.

It can be seen that in the future, Huawei is destined to occupy its own place in the automobile industry.

Huawei may be interested in taking a stake in Changan Weilai

As one of the world's top 5 companies, Huawei has been rumored to enter the automobile field for a long time, and this time, the statement that Huawei is interested in taking a stake in Changan is not groundless.

As early as January 11, 218, Changan Automobile signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Huawei, China Mobile Communications and China Mobile Internet of Things Co., Ltd. in Chongqing to comprehensively carry out the joint development and research of LTE-V and 5G vehicle networking; In July 218, Changan Automobile signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Huawei in Shenzhen, and plans to establish a joint innovation center; At the beginning of 219, in Chongqing, the headquarters of Changan Automobile, the Hechuang Center held an unveiling ceremony.

Therefore, for Changan Automobile, the cooperation with Huawei has indeed improved its own scientific and technological attributes. If Huawei can participate in the new energy automobile company, An Weilai, this time, it will further deepen the cooperation between Changan and Huawei.

On this matter, the car whisperer also contacted Huawei BU Public Relations Company, which said that Huawei's positioning is still based on helping car companies build good cars.

from this point of view, it is not impossible for Huawei to come hand in hand with Changan Wei. The only certainty is that no matter who Huawei cooperates with, its ultimate goal is to build a better car.
