Beijing Yizhuang has acquired a new car-making force headquarters.
According to the relevant documents of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, "Baidu Car has completed the industrial and commercial registration of 'Jidu Technology Co., Ltd.' in Beijing and set up a headquarters in Beijing" - this official wording basically hammers the positioning of the company set up by Jidu in Beijing.
According to the information of Tianyancha, on June 7, 2021, "Jidu Technology Co., Ltd." was established in Beijing with a registered capital of 2 billion yuan, the legal representative Xia Yiping, the business scope includes technical services, technology development, technical consultation, technical exchanges, technology transfer, technology promotion, etc. of new energy vehicles and related parts, and the registered address is Room 611, 6th Floor, 6th Floor, Building A, No. 12 Hongda North Road, Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, Beijing (Yizhuang Group, High-end Industrial Area of Beijing Pilot Free Trade Zone).
In addition, "Beijing Jidu Technology Co., Ltd." was established on November 1, 2021 with a registered capital of 310 million US dollars, the legal representative Xia Yiping, the registered address is Room 844, 8th Floor, Building 1, No. 10 Hongda North Road, Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, and its business scope includes technical services, technology development, technical consultation, technical exchanges, technology transfer, technology promotion, etc. of new energy vehicles and related parts.

Jidu is a young car company, which was established in March 2021 and received more than $300 million in start-up capital, with Baidu holding 55% of the shares and Geely holding 45% of the shares. On January 26, 2022, Jidu announced the completion of another $400 million Series A financing, after the completion of the financing, Jidu will accelerate the process of research and development and mass production, and it is expected that the first automotive robot concept car will be released at the Beijing Auto Show in April this year, and the mass production product will be listed in 2023.
In addition to setting up a company in Beijing, Jidu Automobile has also been heavily settled in Shanghai, and a large number of employees have been in place.
In March 2021, "Jidu Automobile Co., Ltd." was registered in Shanghai with a registered capital of 2 billion yuan and an address of Jiading District, Shanghai, and on November 1, 2021, "Shanghai Jidu Automobile Co., Ltd." was established with a registered capital of US$310 million, the legal representative Xia Yiping, and the registered address was Jiading District, Shanghai.
It is not difficult to find that the set of registered in Beijing and Shanghai is almost completely symmetrical from the perspective of legal representative, registered capital and business scope, combined with the above-mentioned "headquarters" expression of the Beijing Economic and Information Bureau, there is reason to speculate that Jidu is building a Beijing-Shanghai "dual headquarters" structure, but from the perspective of the company name, Beijing may focus on "technology" and Shanghai is stronger than "automobile".
Last year, Jidu Automobile said that Shanghai and Beijing are currently two important strategic center cities for Jidu business, and based on the current business needs of enterprises, the establishment of companies in the two places can facilitate the absorption of talents and better business development nationwide.
In addition to jidu, in this wave of new energy vehicle investment, Beijing has made many gains.
According to the list of "3 100" city key projects released by the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission in 2022, Xiaomi Automobile and Ideal Automobile's global flagship plants are listed in the list of 33 advanced manufacturing projects.
According to the list of key tasks in the 2022 beijing municipal government work report, the "Tesla China Design Center", which has been preparing for nearly two years, is also expected to start construction together with Xiaomi Automobile Manufacturing Plant, Weilan New Energy Solid-State Battery Phase I, Toyota Fuel Cell R&D Center and other projects.
