Huang Zhiqiang, Youngman vice president was quoted by Reuters at the Guangzhou auto show as noting its financial investment plans were a strategic move.
“It’s not a short sighted move,” he is quoted as saying. “We got into the deal as a long-term investor.”
Saab confirmed to just-auto today (21 November) it had submitted a new proposal to GM, but there is as yet, no detail of when the US manufacturer might respond.
Youngman was not immediately available for comment.
