中國(guó)一家法院查封了樂(lè)視(LeEco)創(chuàng)始人賈躍亭的已知資產(chǎn)。中國(guó)當(dāng)局步步逼近了這位往日的技術(shù)巨頭。僅僅一年之前,賈躍亭還希望與硅谷一些大牌公司展開(kāi)角逐。
The Beijing First Intermediate People’s Court said it had seized millions of dollars worth of shares in Shenzhen-listed LeEco subsidiary Leshi Internet Information & Technology, two homes in Beijing and about Rmb1.3m ($200,000) from a bank account, enforcing a petition filed by Fujian province-based Huafu Securities.
北京第一中級(jí)人民法院表示,其已查封了賈躍亭在深市上市企業(yè)樂(lè)視網(wǎng)所持的價(jià)值數(shù)百萬(wàn)美元的股份,查封了他位于北京的兩處房產(chǎn),從其一個(gè)銀行賬戶(hù)劃扣了約130萬(wàn)元人民幣(合20萬(wàn)美元),強(qiáng)制執(zhí)行了福建華福證券提起的一項(xiàng)申請(qǐng)。
The securities house had sought to recover more than Rmb200m from Mr Jia. But the December 19 ruling, posted to the Beijing court’s website several days later, said the businessman had no other bank accounts, houses or cars to seize.
這家券商還曾尋求從賈躍亭手中收回逾2億元人民幣的欠款。但幾天后上傳至北京這家法院網(wǎng)站的12月19日出具的裁定書(shū)表示,這位商人名下已無(wú)其他可供執(zhí)行的銀行存款、房產(chǎn)或車(chē)輛。
The Beijing branch of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the country’s securities watchdog, this week ordered Mr Jia to return to China by December 31 to deal with the financial stress building behind his fissuring technology and entertainment empire.
本周,中國(guó)證監(jiān)會(huì)北京證監(jiān)局責(zé)令賈躍亭在12月31日前回國(guó),處置他旗下出現(xiàn)裂痕的技術(shù)與娛樂(lè)集團(tuán)的財(cái)務(wù)危機(jī)。
The LeEco conglomerate, which started as an online video platform, has come to include smartphones, ride-hailing applications, real estate, sports entertainment and electric cars.
樂(lè)視當(dāng)初以在線(xiàn)視頻平臺(tái)起步,其業(yè)務(wù)已涵蓋智能手機(jī)、打車(chē)應(yīng)用、房地產(chǎn)、體育娛樂(lè)和電動(dòng)車(chē)領(lǐng)域。
While rapidly expanding the business in China, Mr Jia also set out on an acquisition binge, agreeing to buy US electronics company Vizio for $2bn last year and the rights to broadcast English Premier League games in China. He also backed the US electric car start-up Faraday Future as well as a self-driving car project based in San Francisco.
在中國(guó)快速擴(kuò)展業(yè)務(wù)的同時(shí),賈躍亭也啟動(dòng)了一場(chǎng)并購(gòu)狂潮——去年同意以20億美元收購(gòu)美國(guó)電子企業(yè)Vizio,買(mǎi)下了在中國(guó)播放英超(English Premier League)聯(lián)賽的版權(quán)。他還入股了美國(guó)電動(dòng)車(chē)創(chuàng)業(yè)企業(yè)法拉第未來(lái)(Faraday Future),以及舊金山的一個(gè)無(wú)人駕駛汽車(chē)項(xiàng)目。
At its height, Mr Jia hoped LeEco would go head-to-head with US companies such as Netflix and Tesla.
在巔峰時(shí)期,賈躍亭曾希望樂(lè)視將比肩Netflix和特斯拉(Tesla)等美國(guó)公司。
But creditors and investors became concerned over the viability of the company last November when Mr Jia told employees that LeEco’s rapid expansion had burnt through cash too quickly. The deal for Vizio has since collapsed and Mr Jia resigned as chairman of LeEco in July as creditors closed in on the group.
但去年11月,當(dāng)賈躍亭告訴員工樂(lè)視的快速擴(kuò)張導(dǎo)致現(xiàn)金消耗過(guò)快時(shí),債權(quán)人和投資者對(duì)樂(lè)視的生存能力感到擔(dān)心。收購(gòu)Vizio的交易后來(lái)失敗了。當(dāng)債權(quán)人圍逼樂(lè)視時(shí),賈躍亭在7月辭去了董事長(zhǎng)職位。
Chinese suppliers for LeEco have told the Financial Times they are still awaiting payment for orders made nearly two years ago.
樂(lè)視的中國(guó)供應(yīng)商告訴英國(guó)《金融時(shí)報(bào)》,他們?nèi)栽诘却龢?lè)視支付近兩年前所下訂單的款項(xiàng)。
Tianjin-based property conglomerate Sunac China has stepped in to provide more than $2.4bn in emergency funding to LeEco. Sunac chairman Sun Hongbin became LeEco’s chairman earlier this year.
天津地產(chǎn)企業(yè)融創(chuàng)中國(guó)(Sunac China)已介入,向樂(lè)視提供了逾24億美元的緊急資金援助。今年早些時(shí)候,融創(chuàng)中國(guó)董事長(zhǎng)孫宏斌成為了樂(lè)視網(wǎng)董事長(zhǎng)。
Mr Jia’s personal troubles have escalated in recent weeks. This month he was put on China’s national blacklist of “discredited” people, a system enforced by the Supreme Court that can penalise the worst-offending serial debtors with punishment such as travel bans.
最近幾周,賈躍亭的個(gè)人麻煩有所升級(jí)。本月,他被拉入中國(guó)的“失信”黑名單——這是中國(guó)最高人民法院執(zhí)行的一項(xiàng)用于懲罰最?lèi)毫觽鶆?wù)人的制度,懲罰手段包括旅游禁令。
LeEco has not responded to repeated requests for comment on the matters concerning its founder. Attempts to contact Mr Jia, whose whereabouts are unknown, have been unsuccessful.
樂(lè)視沒(méi)有回應(yīng)記者幾次提出的就有關(guān)其董事長(zhǎng)之事進(jìn)行置評(píng)的請(qǐng)求。目前,賈躍亭的行蹤不明。記者嘗試聯(lián)系他,但未成功。
