BEIJING - In a move insiders see as groundwork for new energy vehicles and batteries, the chairman and largest shareholder of automaker Geely has personally invested in the Australian lithium compound company Galaxy Resources.

Geely Chairman Li Shufu's wholly owned investment company Strong Target International has purchased A$30 million ($31.7 million) in Galaxy bonds, while Fengli Group Co, a steel company in Geely's home province of Zhejiang, subscribed to the remainder of the $69 million bond issuance.
