Obviously, the passenger car industry latecomer Young Automotive Chery, BYD Own Brand of, and do not want to go, but we hope to "vanguard" formula of overseas mergers and acquisitions, to achieve leapfrog development. Saab two years of unsuccessful in this quest, it took MG who hopes alive. Whether young people have the ability and financial resources to make the "opportunity" to become a real City Correctional profit? Recalling failed Saab transactions, youth spent a total consideration of nearly 50 million euros, only several cars Phoenix non-exclusive technology platform data exchange. The young people decided to continue to cast a € 35 million or more to invest, but also buy what?
The youth this buy what
Under the latest agreement and Spyker, youth Spyker actual investment will be 10 million euros, 29.9% stake in the latter. The two sides will set up of Spyker P2P BV the (Spyker P2P company) and Spyker Phoenix BV two joint venture production of the Spyker D8 Peking-to-Paris the super SUV and based the Phoenix platform series models.
With this acquisition, the surface of the youth to become the largest shareholder in Spyker, but in fact Spyker CEO Muller actual control, he directly holds a 24.1% stake, but if coupled with the trust company indirectly controlled by part of its stake will be 47.1%.
Paokai Saab assets, Spyker lackluster plunged into its worst financial situation since 2011. In early 2012, Muller began to seek short-term loans for Spyker maintained. GEM issued bonds of $ 9.99 million venture to the United States in May, Muller consultation with the debtor, suppliers, Saab British company, and looking for long-term loans in order to maintain the the Spyker operators and promote D8 Peking-to-Paris listed. In the first half of 2012, although the overall profit of 126 million euros, but this is a book gain of 131 million euros through asset restructuring, the company operating the actual loss of 1.4 million euros.
Alive MG P2P Spyker brand and transfer of technology to "Spyker" get a 25% stake, while young people still need to invest 25 million euros in cash to buy a 75% stake.

Young people would like to take the D8 "step into the luxury car echelon" somewhat unrealistic.
Phoenix platform, "one woman and two marry."
Saab Phoenix platform series models, does not seem optimistic. Alive MG Phoenix AG, youth purchased before from Saab Phoenix platform technology to get a 80% stake in Spyker, holds the remaining 20% ??of the shares. But this pointed out, the person familiar with the the Phoenix platform only remain in the conceptual design stage, follow-up R & D investment needed over 100 million euros. And youth is just a non-exclusive right to use of technology, not the core technology.
The Phoenix platform Saab as to get rid of generic technology, an independent research and development of product platforms, not much associated with General Motors. Saab to invest about 200 million euros for this platform, the degree of development of about 60% -65%. The platform is modular model development is divided into five parts, a total of 12 modules. 9-2 models of the Phoenix platform as the basis for the design and development of new models, including the 9-1 vehicle equivalent to the standard of the A-class cars in Europe, equivalent to the European B-class and C-class cars, the E-class and above 9 - 6 and 9-7 models of its size facelift, the long-wheelbase and narrow version of the current 9-3 models as well as 9-4X and 9-5 of the extended version. Phoenix based on this platform Saab hatchback concept car at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2011 debut. After the failure of the acquisition of Saab, youth Automotive has announced access Saab Phoenix platform contains all the information of the full range of products developed in full mode, the drawings and the corresponding product standards and process.
Phoenix platform, "one woman and two married, marry are Chinese company. Saab bankruptcy, all of the assets of the Saab automobile company, Saab powertrain Company, Saab Automobile Tools Company, as well as the production base of Saab Automobile in Trollhattan, Sweden real estate shares are electric cars Guoneng Sweden Limited (National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB, hereinafter referred to as "NEVS") acquisition. Saab Automobile company assets package NEVS called, Han Gai Sabo 9-3 and the Order of the Phoenix platform 100% intellectual property, but does not include the Saab 9-5 and 9-4X intellectual property.
"Youth and Spyker to set up a joint venture company is a bit more than I expected." Swedish local media reporters "TTELA" Lönnroth Valdemar new fiscal reporters said. In his view, the non-exclusive right to use the young car buyers, and NEVS purchased all of the assets of the company of Saab Automobile. Youth and did not get the Saab factory and skilled personnel, whether there is the ability to buy "dead" the information activated to market products, is still a big question.
