Customer support: normal operation, I don’t know the reason for the icon update

At the same time, customer service told Red Star Capital Bureau that the development, operation and maintenance of the LeEco video APP is currently handed over to LeEco’s related company, LeRongzhixin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. so that be responsible.
According to Tianyancha APP, Lerongzhixin Electronic Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. was established in February 2012 with a registered capital of 375 million yuan. Its second shareholder is LeTV Information Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., with 36.4% of the shares.
On the same day, Red Star Capital Bureau made multiple calls announced by the company in industrial and commercial channels, but no one answered them.
The Red Star Capital Bureau noted that after the topic # 乐 视 欠 122 亿 # appeared on the Weibo search list, it attracted the attention of many netizens. At press time, the reading volume of this issue reached 320 million.

Used to be a LeEco supplier:
4.5 million in arrears, no longer expected to be repaid

In early 2015, LeEco had announced that there were 500 experience stores nationwide, and the goal in 2015 was to complete the opening of more than 3,000 experience store stores by the end of the year.
Lao Su became a LeEco store building supplier through a tender in 2016. It is responsible for supplying the LeEco brand store in the Southwest area. From the initial decoration to the showcase, going through the light box, he hired.
“It used to be more than 100 a month, but now these stores are basically closed,” Lao Su told the Red Star Capital Bureau.
It stands to reason that LeEco paid monthly, but never paid. At the end of 2016, Lao Su had personally gone to the LeTV headquarters in Beijing to collect bills. At that time, LeTV paid around 8.2 million yuan to Lao Su.
To recover debts, after entering 2017, Lao Su went to Beijing many times in more than a year. The longest stay in Beijing was more than 3 months, from May to September of that year. People just live in the lobby of LeTV Edificio.
In the end, LeTV repaid part of Lao Su’s accounts payable, and the arrears fell from 8.2 million yuan to 4.5 million yuan. As for the remaining 4.5 million yuan, it has yet to be paid.
Previously, Lao Su said in an interview with the Red Star Capital Bureau, “(The debt incurred by LeEco) is now bad debt. If you lose it, you lose. The weight of these pressures is that you feel uncomfortable. You can start over.” .
On February 7, Lao Su told Red Star Capital Bureau: “LeEco is like that, I don’t need to spend a lot of time paying attention to them. (APP) is out of date, I don’t pay attention to this matter. Anymore.”
Regarding the 4.5 million yuan LeTV still owes, Lao Su said, “I don’t have much hope right now (of going back).”
The scale of the debt exceeds 10 billion
The market value fell from 170 billion yuan to 700 million yuan.
In the heyday of LeTV, its founder Jia Yueting once proposed the “Seven Ecosystems of LeTV”, which include Internet content ecology, cloud ecology, sports ecology, large TV screen ecology, mobile phone ecology, ecology car and Internet ecology.
From LeTV.com to LeTV Sports, which owns the copyrights to major sporting events, to LeTV TV and LeTV mobile phones, “LeTV Ecology” almost covers the upstream and downstream of many industrial networks, creating a “LeTV Kingdom” .
The market value of LeTV (300104.SZ) once exceeded 170 billion yuan, but the LeTV stand was too big and soon ushered in a huge debt crisis.
In November 2016, Jia Yueting sent an internal letter “The Sea and the Flames of LeEco: Was it swallowed by big waves or did the ocean boil?” In the letter, Jia Yueting admitted that there was insufficient financial support, that pressure on the supply chain has increased, and that resistance has been obviously weak.
Red Star Capital Bureau reviewed LeTV’s 2019 annual report and found that prior to its delisting, the debt pressure was still enormous.
As of December 31, 2019, the notes and accounts payable within the scope of LeTV’s consolidated statements were 3,032 million yuan, mainly due to arrears from suppliers and service providers.
In addition, within the scope of LeTV’s consolidated statements, long and short-term loans totaled 555 million yuan, other current liabilities were 3.304 million yuan, and other non-current liabilities were 3.049 million yuan, mainly due to loans from institutions. financial and non-financial companies.
At the same time, in 2019, according to the judgment and progress of the LeTV Sports and LeTV Cloud breach warranty cases, and based on prudential considerations, LeTV has accumulated more than RMB 9.64 billion in liabilities for the LeTV Sports and LeTV Cloud cases.
Overall, LeTV’s debt scale remains in excess of tens of billions.
July 20, 2020 – LeTV’s last trading day for A shares, its closing price was set at 0.18 yuan per share, with a total market value of 718 million yuan.
“Lower lap country”
Will FF will bring Jia Yuetingnew Hope?

According to previous reports from the Red Star Capital Bureau, Jia Yueting’s innovative energy car company FF (Faraday Future) is currently seeking listing on the Nasdaq.
FF stated that it has jointly announced with special-purpose acquisition (also known as reverse merger) company Property Solutions Acquisition Corp (hereinafter “PSAC”) that it has reached a final agreement on the business combination.
