Tianjin to build international consumption center city

Tianjin on October 11th unveiled a plan to develop itself into an international consumption center city. This decision plays an important role in establishing a new development pattern and embarking on the new journey of building Tianjin into a socialist modern metropolis.

In July, the State Council approved that Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Tianjin and Chongqing will take the lead in developing international consumption center cities.

The plan clarified the main goal and the key tasks of building an international consumption center city. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period(2021-25), Tianjin will cultivate commercial landmarks and focus on the upgrading of the consumer market. It will create a unique and charming business card of Tianjin while enhancing the concentration of international brands.

Efforts will be made to create an international level consumption environment and a convenient consumption system environment, improving consumer satisfaction, accessibility and comfort. The city will also promote interconnected regional development to develop a new pattern of consumption.

Districts of Tianjin will use their advantages to improve the quality of their commercial areas, increase their influence, and help the city's construction of an international consumption center city.

Evergrande NEV Vows to Deliver Electric Cars Early Next Year

China’s embattled Evergrande New Energy Vehicle Group said on Monday it aimed to start producing electric vehicles (EV) next year despite facing a struggle to secure external investment.

Evergrande NEV, which is linked to troubled Chinese developer Evergrande Group, has held meeting with suppliers and local authorities in the coastal city of Tianjin where it is building a car plant. It said on its website that management would make sure it reached mass-production next year.

Evergrande NEV warned in stock exchange filings last month that it was still looking for new investors and to make asset sales, and without either it may struggle to pay employee salaries and cover other expenses.

恒大称首款新能源量产车明年初下线

10月11日，恒大汽车战略合作伙伴大会在天津生产基地举行。

在会议上，恒大汽车总裁刘永灼表示，公司已打响了为期三个月的攻坚战，要确保恒驰首车在2022年年初在天津工厂下线，首款车辆为恒驰5。

按照恒大方面介绍，相较于上海和广州基地，天津基地拥有发改委和工信部颁发的新能源整车生产双资质，具备量产所需要的所有条件，所以恒大汽车把战略中心转移到天津基地。

在恒大汽车公布的2020年财报中，恒大汽车累计投入高达474亿元，其中249亿元用于购买核心技术跟研发投入，另外225亿元用于厂房的建设。

而对于目前陷入流动性困难的恒大集团来说，资金的运用更显的尤为重要。恒大汽车高管在会上表示，开源方面，恒大加速处置了此前收购的海外企业，最大力度盘活资产；节流方面，核心管理层主动暂停领取工资，员工办公地从写字楼搬到了工厂，最大可能节流成本。此外，为科研技术人员发放了新的期权，希望留住人才。
