Evergrande had previously tried to solve the funding problem through cooperation with Newton Group, but the strategic investment agreement was terminated in April this year due to failure to meet the prerequisites. Yan Jinghui, a member of the Expert Committee of the China Automobile Dealers Association, pointed out that the car-building industry requires a large amount of capital investment, and the financial pressure on Evergrande Automobile has further intensified.

This capital injection from potential buyers is crucial to Evergrande and may determine the future development of its electric vehicle business.
