"Talks with the Chinese electric-car company he'd gone to meet collapsed,
but Mr. Williams was introduced to Winston Chung, whose company, Winston
Global Energy, makes batteries for electric vehicles.
"Over the course of several months, Mr. Chung became the majority
shareholder in MVP RV in exchange for his $310 million investment. Messrs.
Williams and Chung hope to develop a battery-powered motor home for sale in
the U.S. and export to China's rapidly expanding automotive market.
My comment:
(a) The "electric-car company" in quotation 1 likely was BYD.
(b) Riverside, California
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverside,_California
(Named for its location beside the Santa Ana River)
(c) Winston Chung/Winston Global Energy 钟馨稼/温斯顿全球能源公司 (based at
Shenzhen)
(d) There are huge discrepancy between WSJ and Los Angeles Times--in
recreational vehicles imported to China (diesel or electric) AND amount
Chung paid to buy the American company.

"Chung spoke about the burgeoning market in China for the motor homes after
a news conference with UC Riverside Chancellor Timothy P. White, where they
announced Chung's $10-million donation to UCR's Bourns College of
Engineering.
"In an interview with The Times, a smiling Chung cheerfully detailed his
plans to build and export 30,000 diesel-powered motor homes to China, and
eventually to develop electric-powered RVs. Chung, 52, is the founder of
battery maker Winston Global Energy.
"He paid $18.6 million in July for the Riverside factories and headquarters
that were once the home of Fleetwood Enterprises, which filed for bankruptcy
protection and left the area in 2009.
(e) The LA Times report uses recreational vehicle and motor home
interchangeably.
