Jin Rong Shi Bao·2026-01-13 02:36Group 1 - BYD plans to gradually abandon its proprietary supply chain finance platform "Di Chain" over the next 1-2 years, shifting towards more standardized payment methods such as bank acceptance bills, commercial acceptance bills, and cash [1] - "Di Chain" has supported BYD's expansion for ten years, providing a digital voucher system for accounts receivable management and factoring financing services to over 10,000 suppliers [1] - The transition is driven by compliance issues, high discount costs for suppliers, and accumulated hidden debts, alongside tightening regulatory policies [1] Group 2 - In September 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments issued a plan to ensure key automotive companies adhere to payment commitments and establish payment norms for supplier accounts [2] - BYD's financial report shows that as of September 2025, its accounts payable amounted to 222.8 billion yuan, with only 22.2 billion yuan in payable bills, representing just 0.62% of total payables [2] - Recent data indicates a significant increase in BYD's issuance of commercial bills, with amounts of 2.7 billion yuan, 2.3 billion yuan, and 4.5 billion yuan in the last three months of 2025, reflecting a commitment to reduce "Di Chain" usage [2] Group 3 - Bills are widely recognized in commercial activities due to their dual attributes of "credit + circulation," serving as a written certificate for unconditional payment [3] - The fundamental function of bills is payment, providing a safer and more flexible alternative for large transactions compared to cash, especially beneficial for companies facing cash flow challenges [5] - Bills can also serve as a financing tool, allowing companies to discount them with financial institutions for immediate cash flow needs [6][7] Group 4 - The credit attribute of bills acts as an "invisible business card" for companies, where the acceptance of a bill depends on the issuer's credit rating [8] - Long-term stable use of bills can enhance a company's credit record, leading to better payment terms and lower barriers for future transactions [8] Group 5 - Risks associated with bills include the potential for forgery and alteration, particularly with traditional paper bills, as well as the risk of non-payment if the issuer's credit fails [9] - Operational risks arise from non-compliance with legal requirements in the creation and transfer of bills, which can render them invalid [9] - Understanding bills as standardized financial tools can enhance the financial security and operational stability of companies within the supply chain [10]
