NEW YORK, June 26, 2020 / PRNewswire / – Ideanomic (NASDAQ: IDEX) (“Ideanomics” or the “Company”) announces that its Qingdao Sales Center will be officially renamed at the MEG Center for 1st of July. It has been managed by the joint venture (JV) called Ai Neng Ju with Fu Da Automobile Trading Center (Fu Da) (51% owned by MEG). The JV registration was completed on April 13, 2020. Fu Da has been operational since 2018 and provided photos of his 20,000-square-meter property within the Center.
Ideanomics contacted a source cited by Hindenburg, Chen Xiandeng, a new junior sales manager at Fu Da. Hindenburg approached Mr. Chen under the false pretense of being a recurring potential customer. When Hindenburg asked Mr. Chen if he knew about Ideanomics or MEG, he replied that he was aware of the joint venture, but was not aware of the details. Mr. Chen also explained to Hindenburg that his responsibility is to sell cars and that this information is reserved for company executives. Chen refutes Hindenburg’s claims that he said he had never heard of Ideanomics or MEG.
From May 1Ideanomics’ JV has resumed leasing the property, including the Fu Da business, and will add electric vehicle (EV) financing and sales services. Since that time, Ideanomics has renovated and reconditioned the Fu Da property after the reopening of COVID-19.
Along with the transfer of the Center’s lease, MEG’s JV retained Fu Da’s staff, including Yan Qiang, who has served as Fu Da’s General Manager from its inception. He will continue to be General Manager of the new brand MEG Center that will expand to 40,000 square meters and eventually 100,000 square meters. This expansion will include sales of commercial and passenger electric vehicles and related services.
