Zhuhai think Qi Zhu Yinlong counterfeit money related products
This lawsuit points to a 2016 contract dispute.
In November 2016, Silver Dragon signed a contract with Zhuhai Siqi to purchase two sets of 11 energy storage cabinets and semitrailers with the contract amount of RMB 30,074,300, however, Zhuhai Siqi completed the delivery in January 2017 and Zhuhai Yinlong paid only 12,021,300 yuan, the remaining 17,752,100 yuan so far unpaid.
According to the verdict seen by surging news reporters, Silversel said that there are quality problems in Zhuhai Siqi products and they can not work effectively and therefore can not be regarded as delivery. Zhuhai Silverson claimed that the company is not the subject of the contract of prosecution.
Shulei claimed Zhuhai Siqi storage cabinets and semi-trailer belong to think Qi Qi independent research and development of new products, and no relevant national standards. Previously, the company had to Deliver the same specifications with the product, no problem. However, Zhuhai Silver Dragon will sell the company's products to Beijing after the bus, the local experts said the lack of networking, fire and other related functions and accessories, was not approved.

Talking about the cooperation with Silver Dragon, one supplier said that because of the platform support of Dong Da 2 (Dong Mingzhu) and the ability and resources of Gree and Dong Sister, we were at ease at that time and never thought of Silver Dragon Meeting Arrears of accounts.
