As a person, dreams always have to be, but they do not match their own abilities, and they talk about their dreams, and there is a high probability that they are liars or fools.
There are two car-making PPT dreamers, at the time of the rise of new domestic car-making forces, they have opened a very bad start. One is the famous FF car leader Jia Yueting, in order to realize the dream of building a car, the LeTV hollowed out, left other countries, poured years of painstaking efforts to create FF91, has not yet been mass-produced, although last year rippled again, but soon again by the dream suffocation, "next week back to China" is still far away. The other is the protagonist we are going to talk about today, the Ranger car known as the "ancestor of car-making PPT".
Founded in 2014, Ranger Auto is the first generation of car-making entrepreneurs in the same period as Wei Xiaoli, which claims to be China's first emerging Internet technology company that independently develops and manufactures pure electric vehicles, and a bunch of prefixes are nothing more than to highlight the uniqueness of its own products. But when it really came up, it became a joke in the industry.
In July 2015, Ranger showed a "new concept car" Ranger X that was highly similar to Tesla Model S in terms of shape, chassis structure, size and other parameters, and the PPT at the conference was also full of false empty words that mentioned dreams and prospects, such as Ranger to be listed in 2017... Regarding the demonstration of the real car function of Ranger X, Ranger CEO Huang Xiuyuan sincerely said that there will be something in the future.
So in the end, the Rangers at that time, all relying on a mouth, explained to people the strength and prospects of Ranger X. This move has been ridiculed by many people in the industry as ppt to build cars, but also set off a wave of whole network ridicule, the scale of the large, the depth of irony, is really rare. At that time, there were no direct competitors in China, and there was a lack of mutual tearing objects, which could be beaten into such a face by the whole network, and the Ranger Car was the first, which even Boss Jia and his FF91 had to bow to. Even in order to vent the dissatisfaction with the Ranger's "PPT car-making" behavior, some netizens joked: "The biggest expense of the Ranger Car at the beginning of its establishment should be to buy a Tesla Model S, and ask the sheet metal master to build a shell by hand." ”
However, even if everyone knows that Ranger car manufacturing is a "scam", Huang Xiuyuan still relies on breathtaking advanced marketing means, sucking (suddenly) attracting (you) a lot of capital favor, but there are not many small white investors who are stupid and have a lot of money, and it takes time to grow after cutting a stubble, as financing is about to bottom out, Huang Xiuyuan has to reduce the price, and promises a bright future and future, exhausting the strength of the tiger to successfully let Wei Jun acquire 90% of the shares in 2015, becoming the "takeover man" of the Ranger, And Huang Xiuyuan, who sold his shares to achieve wealth freedom, withdrew with an extremely dashing posture and hid his merits and fame.
For the new head of the Ranger, Wei Jun, it is difficult to define the quality of his vision, he sees that the future car is a new outlet, but he chose the ranger car that is a scam. But no matter what, Wei Jun came with sincerity and ambition when he joined Ranger Motors, and he once made a bold statement to the outside world in 2016, saying that he would make enough efforts to make Rangers, known as "China's Tesla Company", become the first in the field of electric vehicles in China. ”
When Wei Jun's enthusiasm meets the east wind of the rise of new energy, it does make the Ranger show a clear recovery trend. First, in the first half of 2017, it signed a cooperation agreement with the Wuxing District Government of Huzhou City to build the Ranger Automobile (Huzhou) Super Factory, which is expected to start construction in 2017 and go public for mass production in 2018, with an annual production capacity of 200,000 units. With the help of the government, Ranger has made a new breakthrough in financing, and in 2017-2018, it has obtained a total of 8.7 billion yuan of financing from Xinhua Silk Road Fund, South Taihu Construction Investment, and Gezhi Assets.
It seems that everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the Ranger will also officially enter the right track of car building.
However, until 2019, Ranger Cars is still a look that cannot be supported, there is no news of mass production cars, and car factories have also been exposed to rumors of suspension. From the Ranger Auto Strategy and Market Management Department Director Li Wei said that "Ranger Auto is not in a hurry to mass-produce models, high-end positioning may also change, due to financial reasons will deliberately slow down channel construction", it can also be seen that Ranger Auto is basically hopeless to build a car, unable to operate in the situation.
With only one car, a bunch of data, and the bitter support of a group of unknown small people, it is obviously difficult for the Ranger to break and stand up, and wei Jun's recent freezing of 45 million yuan worth of equity may be seen as the last disgraceful farewell of the Ranger.
May the future and "paradise" no longer have "PPT car".
