Shandong heavy industry Weichai group and Faraday have been in contact for a long time. In the past two years, the two sides have experienced several rounds of arduous negotiations. During this period, it received the full support and cooperation of Faraday group, Mr. Faraday himself and all creditors, and finally the two sides came together

Faraday is the largest luxury yacht manufacturer in the world. It has the world's most advanced yacht R & D center, a first-class industrial design team, a global supplier system composed of more than 800 suppliers, and the world's most advanced yacht manufacturing system. It has eight luxury yacht brands, including Ferretti, Riva, Pershing and Bertram, which rank among the top 10 brands in the world. Faraday has a sales network of about 60 carefully selected dealers in more than 80 countries around the world, and has set up more than 1000 repair stations and parts supply centers in 86 countries.

affected by the financial crisis, the global yacht market has been in a declining state since 2008, and the overall industry is undergoing a new round of enterprise mergers and business integration. In the historical development process of Faraday, due to leveraged buyouts by shareholders, excessive debt has brought a heavy financial burden to the enterprise. Affected by the financial crisis, the enterprise management has fallen into difficulties. Coupled with the spread of the European debt crisis, most European banks are also in a difficult situation, creating conditions for the group to acquire the controlling stake of this world-class well-known brand company through the acquisition of debt

at the same time, yacht consumption in emerging market countries represented by the BRICs countries is at a stage of rapid development, and China's yacht import in 2010 was three times that of 2009. According to experts' prediction, China's yacht market will enter a rapid growth stage in the next 5 to 10 years. Yachts will become not only an important and valuable load sensor to promote the development of maritime tourism, but also an important tool and business activity platform for enterprises, as well as a part of the life and entertainment of the affluent middle class. The future market potential is huge
