65438+February 65438+June, the reporter inquired about Tianyancha and found that Wuhan Bixidi Battery Material Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Bixidi") had undergone industrial and commercial changes, and its shareholders increased Beijing Kuxun Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Kuxun Technology") under Meituan.

Since the second half of 2022, Meituan has not only participated in the capital increase of Xinwangda automobile batteries, but also successively invested in two battery companies-Huzhou Super Sodium New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Super Sodium New Energy") and Bisidi, involving lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries.

Liantou two battery companies

Bisidi invested by Kuxun Technology was founded on 20 17 and 12, and was founded by Han. Relying on the incubation of Wuhan New Energy Research Institute Co., Ltd., we are committed to the development and utilization of key materials and technologies of lithium batteries, and provide a complete solution for the production process of electrode materials.

From 2065438 to June 2007, Han entered Wuhan New Energy Research Institute Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Wuhan New Energy Research Institute") and established the R&D Division of Lithium-ion Battery Materials, which received 5 million yuan of project start-up funding support. 20 18,10 June, relying on Wuhan new energy research institute, Bi Xidi declared the key materials and technologies of high energy density, fast charging and high safety power battery, a major project of Hubei science and technology innovation.

According to public data, in the past two years, the market share of Wuhan Xinyuan Automobile has increased by 40% to 50% every year. In 2022, it reached 37,000 vehicles from 6.5438+0 to July, ranking behind the North, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the country. Once a breakthrough is made in the research and development of innovative technologies for new energy batteries, it will surely promote the rapid development of the new energy automobile industry.

1 18 years 10 month 18 days, kuxun technology became the third largest shareholder with a shareholding ratio of 10%.

Super-sodium new energy was established in August, 20021year with a registered capital of about 4,277,800 yuan. Jiang, chairman and general manager, is a professor and doctoral supervisor of Zhejiang University. His research interests include electrochemical energy storage materials and devices, including lithium/sodium ion batteries, water-based batteries, solid-state batteries, battery failure analysis and operation and maintenance monitoring.

Ultra-sodium new energy focuses on the research and development and production of sodium ion battery, the key material and battery of the new generation energy storage system, focusing on sodium ion battery products with low cost, long life, high safety and high energy density, which can be applied to low-speed electric vehicles, large-scale energy storage, electric vehicles and other fields.

According to the research report of CITIC Securities, the sodium ion battery industry has developed as a whole and the industrialization process has been continuously promoted. It is estimated that the industrial chain of sodium ion batteries will basically take shape in 2023, and the global demand will exceed 100 GWh in 2025.

Improve the investment map of smart cars

Summarizing the current battery field of Meituan, Cool News Technology has become the main focus. In addition to investing in super-sodium new energy and Bisdi successively, Cool News Technology also participated in the capital increase of Xinwangda power battery in August.

At the same time, Xinwangda Automobile Battery signed a convertible bond agreement with 65,438+02 enterprises including Shenzhen Meizhu Meipeng Enterprise Management Consulting Partnership (Limited Partnership) (hereinafter referred to as "Meizhu Meipeng"), and borrowed a total of 65,438+0,654.38+0.9 billion yuan from the above parties for daily working capital, with an annualized interest rate of 6%, which was completed according to the contract.

According to Tianyancha, the actual controller of Meituan Meipeng is Zhu Yonghua, the founding partner of Meituan Industrial Fund, and Wang Xing is listed in the list of shareholders.

From the outside world, Meituan is deeply involved in investing in Xinwangda power battery to supplement the investment map of smart cars. Since 20 19, the investment direction of Meituan has turned to intelligent hardware, automobile transportation, advanced manufacturing and other fields.

Among them, from 2065438 to 2009, Wang invested in Series C financing of Li, with an individual contribution of 285 million US dollars. In 2020, in Li's D round of financing, Meituan led the investment of 500 million US dollars. Since then, Li went public, and both Wang Xing and the US Mission have benefited from it.

Wang Xing lamented on social media: "Those friends who think that Li Xiang's ideal is to trade 100 billion US dollars, you still underestimate an order of magnitude."

The intention behind it is to improve the efficiency of transportation capacity.

As the market of Meituan continues to grow, relying on crowd tactics will limit the future growth space. The continuous loss-making financial report has sounded the alarm for the US Mission and investors.

Improving the efficiency of transportation capacity has become one of the keys for Meituan to turn losses into profits and grow rapidly. Wang Xing, chairman of Meituan, mentioned in the semi-annual report in 2022 that the company adheres to the strategy of "retail+technology", expands its contact with consumers to a wider range of rural and underdeveloped areas, and provides farmers with more categories and richer cost-effective products.

Wang Xing introduced that Meituan has developed cutting-edge technologies such as automatic delivery vehicles and drones, enabling the company to innovate its operations in the future.

In the past two years, Meituan's automatic delivery vehicles have been in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Chengdu and other places, cooperating with relevant local departments and communities to deliver materials in closed areas.

Official website showed that the UAV team of Meituan was established on 20 17, aiming to form a low-altitude logistics network in the city through three independent research and development components, namely, aircraft, ground receiving equipment and route management background system, so as to meet the demand of 15 minute high-frequency real-time distribution in complex urban environment.

For urban terminal distribution scenarios, Meituan independently developed FP400 series models, integrating core capabilities such as flight control navigation system, multi-mode sensing system, fusion positioning system and scene recognition system to ensure the safe and reliable autonomous operation of aircraft in complex urban scenarios.

It can be seen that it has become necessary for the US Mission to deeply lay out local life and improve the efficiency of transportation capacity through smart cars and unmanned distribution.
