锂电项目烂尾，华控赛格陷仲裁拉锯战！地方政府再索赔两千万

Core Viewpoint - The lithium battery project involving Huakong Saige has stalled, leading to a protracted arbitration battle between the company and the local government, with claims totaling 23.96 million yuan [1][5]. Group 1: Project Background - In December 2019, the Qitaihe New District government designated the lithium battery anode material project as a key investment initiative and signed an investment contract with Huakong Saige's subsidiary, Heilongjiang Aoyuan [2]. - The agreement included the government providing 272,000 square meters of land and constructing a factory based on the company's design, while Huakong Saige committed to building a production line with a capacity of 30,000 tons per year [2]. Group 2: Project Stagnation - The project quickly stalled after its initiation, with Huakong Saige acknowledging in 2021 that construction had not started due to the pandemic [5]. - By 2023, the company's annual report indicated that only 5.206 million yuan remained on the project’s books, and it had made provisions for impairment, stating that the project was expected to remain dormant [5]. Group 3: Arbitration Developments - Over four years, the local government repeatedly urged progress, while the company accused the government of failing to fulfill its obligations, leading to a breakdown in relations and the initiation of arbitration proceedings [6]. - In June 2025, both parties filed for arbitration, accusing each other of breach of contract, with the government claiming Huakong Saige had not invested the pre-paid 50 million yuan, while the company countered that the government had not completed necessary land preparations [6]. Group 4: Financial Implications - The actual controller of Huakong Saige has changed, and the amount in dispute represents 17.6% of the company's revenue for the first quarter, which was 136 million yuan, reflecting a year-on-year decline of 20.98% [7]. - If the company loses the arbitration, its financial pressure could increase significantly, as the total claims from the government, including the project costs and additional claims, amount to approximately 74 million yuan [7].
