Dialogue with Zhiji Automobile: The imagination of growth is very large.

  [Aika Auto 2021 Shanghai Auto Show Original]

  At the Shanghai Auto Show, Zhiji Auto brought its heavyweight product (|). Tamia Liu, co-CEO of Zhiji Auto, Jiao Qiao, the owner of Zhiji Auto, and Tuoyue, the senior director of Zhiji Auto Intelligent Driving Project, had a dialogue with the media, which answered some questions that netizens were concerned about Zhiji L7 in detail. The following is a record of the dialogue.

  Media: The pre-sale price of L7 is announced, saying that Zhizhi has established itself as a high-end electric vehicle brand. What is the basis for supporting Zhiji’s high-end development? How does Zhiji obtain and solve user needs? What role did Ali play in Zhiji automobile system?

  Zhiji Automobile: As the seventh largest OEM in the world, SAIC is undoubtedly the first in China. SAIC did not face any financial pressure when it was doing the Zhiji project. Therefore, we are not looking for the cooperation between Zhangjiang Hi-Tech and Alibaba because of the demand for funds, but mainly to integrate the corresponding resources.

  Alibaba has accumulated a lot in e-commerce and cloud computing, and Ali Dharma Institute has many forward-looking technologies, such as very advanced Alibaba Cloud technology, cloud computing technology, large-scale parallel data security technology, and related technologies such as customer operation in new retail. This is the core reason for Zhiji Automobile to seek Ali investment.

  Zhangjiang Hi-Tech, known as China Silicon Valley, has talent advantages in chips, software, data, intelligence and many fields related to new energy. SAIC and Pudong have many years of in-depth cooperation, and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech can also provide chip, software and data support for Zhiji Automobile.

  Based on the above reasons, we introduced Zhangjiang Hi-Tech and Alibaba as the two major shareholders of Zhiji Automobile. 

Dialogue with Zhiji Automobile: The imagination of growth is very large.

CEO-CEO of Zhiji Automobile-Tamia Liu

  SAIC, as a high-end brand of Zhiji Automobile, is confident in — —

  First, SAIC is already an established manufacturer in the manufacturing field, and its manufacturing supply chain capability is one of the strongest in the world. SAIC has an annual production and sales capacity of 7 million vehicles, while the China market only produces and sells about 24 million automobile products every year. The paint line, stamping line and final assembly line of SAIC are the strongest in China, and our car will be produced in Shanghai Lingang Global Lighthouse Factory. The technological level of this lighthouse factory, the level of robots and the precision of technological equipment are the strongest in the world. In addition, SAIC has a supply chain master like Huayu Automobile.

  To give two examples, Yanfeng, a subsidiary of Huayu Automobile, is the largest and most technologically advanced interior integration solution provider in the world. Huayu Vision has also surpassed the global level in high-end headlights. Therefore, in terms of parts and components, the ability to support Zhiji automobile is very strong.

  Second, from the technology itself, both hardware and software can fully support a luxury brand.

  SAIC has invested heavily in hardware, software and platform. For example, the chassis platform used by Zhiji L7 came from 2016, when SAIC established a secret internal project team — — Project X is the predecessor of this car platform. It adapts to the future pure electricity exclusive architecture and the future SOA software architecture. Research and development work from 2016 to 2020, we have done a lot of accumulation in the early stage of this platform.

  The car based on this platform can cover a wheelbase of 2800 ~ 3200mm, with a very large span. It can be compatible with battery packs ranging from 600 km to 1000 km, and can also be compatible with fast-changing and slow-changing battery technologies. At the same time, using all-aluminum chassis structure, all-aluminum material has two benefits for electric vehicles. The first is lightweight. At present, electric vehicles have two electric shafts and four-wheel drive, which are relatively heavy, so they must be lightweight. Secondly, the all-aluminum chassis, for electric advanced cars, is easier to guarantee handling and power.

  At the same time, the rear wheel is equipped with the rear wheel steering function only available in millions of luxury cars, reaching plus or minus 12 degrees. The wheelbase of Zhiji L7 is 3100mm, which is the standard wheelbase of a complete C-class car. However, its steering radius is large, which makes it a little difficult to park in the city. The active steering of the rear wheel is to solve this problem, so that the steering radius is smaller and the frame control is more dexterous. At high speed, it can also rotate in the same direction, so that the yaw rate can be reduced by about 35% like driving a yacht, so that the vibration of the car is minimal when you change lanes. The rear wheel steering of many luxury cars is optional, but it is standard on Zhiji L7 car. There are many bright spots like this, so it can fully support the performance of the chassis of an advanced luxury brand from the hardware.

  From the software point of view, SAIC has just released its SOA strategy not long ago. Zhiji Automobile is the application of SAIC SOA and the core user of SAIC Software Center Zero Beam. SOA platform has a very subversive value for consumers, which will help Zhiji brand to build what smart auto time should look like.

  There are three kinds of target groups, namely, technology enthusiasts, egoists and fashion followers. These consumer groups are relatively young Kochi consumers with strong purchasing power and high knowledge level in the market. They have a common feature, that is, our brand slogan "I am self-reliant", because young consumers are very confident in their judgment of self-values and knowledge. Based on this judgment, the flexible software and hardware integration of SOA can be customized, which can bring me freedom and personal value to consumers.

  Originally, air conditioners, seats, doors, skylights, intelligent driving, etc. on the car body were all mastered by core suppliers, and different suppliers were "islands of information". Today, with the SOA platform, we have the ability to encapsulate the underlying architecture of software atomically, and users can combine it at will. There are thousands of SOA capabilities that can be developed by 90 controllers. In theory, we can create unlimited combinations and customize the required functions according to the needs, instead of being limited by the so-called OEM. This is our interpretation of customers, which is also the point that our SOA can really empower.

  Therefore, no matter in terms of soft or hard capabilities, or in terms of SAIC’s manufacturing capabilities, support capabilities, supply chain capabilities and quality control capabilities, it can fully support Zhiji, a luxury brand of China.

  The automobile entered China in the 19th century, and it has been an imported western brand for so many years. But now the industry is rapidly upgrading to electric intelligence, especially intelligence. I think with China people’s deep understanding of intelligence and investment in Internet facilities, the smart electric vehicles in China will change the world in the future.

  Media: What should be the structure of car companies in user-oriented enterprises? What are the uniqueness compared with these enterprises?

  Zhiji Auto: We refuse to be a copycat of user data.

  User data is very important, which will drive enterprises to move forward slowly and become the core driving force of iterative service experience. Therefore, we are the first to launch the CSOP user data rights plan, which has certain revolutionary changes in the company’s initial genes, which is not the same as other enterprises.

  We set aside 4.9% of the equity income, and through 300 million "original stones", we gave back to our users for their data contribution. Take intelligent driving as an example, intelligent driving needs to be iteratively upgraded, and this requires continuous accumulation of user data to solve 10% of the long tail problem. Users can obtain the original stone through "in-program mining" or "cultivation mining", and the original stone can contribute to his data. In this way, users will become our co-creation partners in the era of smart cars, and they will have a deeper sense of participation. We will also give some feedback to users, make corresponding changes and changes to some suggestions and problems, and give them good products and corresponding rights and interests.

  The company "Zhiji and I" is the operator of the 4.9% share income. This company is currently in charge of Jiao Qiao, truly standing on the front line and standing with customers. At the same time, he is also responsible for the communication between the user manager and the user in Zhiji Automobile, including the online community operated by our future users, including content production and so on.

  From the organizational structure, it is completely different from the original automobile company. Our marketing will not have ATL and BTL. The original air launch, the middle fault, the 4S shop can’t meet, the operation is facing difficulties, and the marketing value will be greatly reduced. Now the real right to speak is in KOC and KOL, and most of our energy is in data-driven content sharing. The whole organizational structure is based on private domain operation and super user operation. We will break the original rules and re-establish brand-new channels.

  Cars are high-value and low-frequency, while the Internet is low-value and high-frequency, which determines that it is difficult for automobile enterprises to operate customers, and our CSOP has completely solved this problem, which makes the viscosity between enterprises and customers very high, even higher than that of being hungry. The opportunity and frequency of customer operation will be completely different from the original, which gives us the opportunity to do real in-depth operation, which is a cornerstone for our marketing to be transformed into data-driven operation.

  Media: Has Zhiji given any consideration to the plan of financing and listing?

  Zhiji Automobile: We have a very complete plan for financing and listing, and there will be A, B and C financing plans and a very clear listing plan.

Dialogue with Zhiji Automobile: The imagination of growth is very large.

Person in charge of Zhiji automobile users-Jiao Qiao

  Media: Where will the focus of Zhiji’s future investment be?

  Zhiji Automobile: First of all, SAIC invested in Momenta for Zhiji Project. Momenta is one of the leading companies in autonomous driving software and algorithms, and is rated as one of the top 50 innovative enterprises in Silicon Valley. It is a very senior science and technology company in the field of autonomous driving. SAIC is Momenta’s golden customer, and has a very deep cooperation with them, so Zhiji Automobile can provide you with IMAD’s extraordinary customer experience today.

  In the past few years, SAIC has increased its investment in software, such as companies in algorithms, software and data factories like Momenta; At the same time, we will also invest in key hardware areas, such as Horizon.

  In addition, SAIC has invested in some soft and hard companies, which will become the origin of our empowerment, such as a company in Austria, Europe — — TTTech, the head enterprise of aircraft flight control RTOS. In the aspect of automatic driving control, real-time operating system is an unavoidable technical barrier. SAIC has established a joint venture with TTTech for a long time, and Zhiji Automobile will also use TTTech’s most advanced RTOS technology.

  Besides, in terms of batteries, SAIC is not only a business partner of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, but also an investor of early CATL. Zhiji automobile can be applied to the top technology of CATL.

  Media: Door to Door Pilot intelligent driving system, what is the current situation? There will be a lot of rising hardware costs in intelligent driving. How can Zhiji balance the rising hardware costs and pass them on to users, or how can users use this data to feed back their own hardware costs?

  Zhiji Automobile: We have started a lot of intelligent driving test. The so-called Door to Door Pilot intelligent driving experience is to complete the whole intelligent assisted driving experience of automatic parking in the parking lot according to the preset navigation plan, through city navigation and high-speed navigation until the user leaves the car at the drop-off point and the vehicle automatically parks in the parking space.

  Now everyone is targeting at structured roads, urban expressways or expressways, such as NGP or NOA, to realize the ability of multi-scene connection. Intelligent driving function is the next track, or a new arms race. For this piece, we have been conducting road tests since the end of last year, including the most challenging urban scene.

  In terms of cost, let me give you an example. Originally, there were two things in the automobile industry, one called ESP and the other called ABS. At first, ESP was the exclusive configuration of high-end cars and high-end brands, and the hardware cost of the system was several thousand dollars. Later, it was proved that it could reduce the death rate of serious traffic accidents. After various countries made it standard, the cost decreased by more than 90%. The meaning of this example is that, first of all, intelligent driving should not be a tool for any business to make profits. I believe that intelligent driving will definitely become a standard in time, because it can really reduce the death rate of traffic accidents and is a social welfare, just like ESP in that year.

  If it becomes standard, the cost will definitely be reduced. At present, the main challenge of intelligent driving perception system and chip system is to reach the vehicle regulation level, for example, the camera of vehicle regulation, whose requirements are mainly the process safety requirements of vehicle regulation and the requirements of high temperature, high humidity and high precision of vehicle regulation, which itself does not necessarily increase the material cost. The key is your understanding of the vehicle condition. When this industry awareness system becomes more and more standard, that is, when the assembly volume is increasing, its level will be significantly improved and the price will drop significantly, which has been confirmed many times in the automobile industry. As long as you have enough quantity and demand, the price is definitely not a problem.

  In addition, the core now is IDP, which is the arithmetic control unit of intelligent driving. At present, this piece has two constraints, and the price of the chip is difficult to negotiate. Moreover, the universal chip based on vision is not really designed specifically for automatic driving perception. Its computing power of 30 tops may be 40% to 50% for real perception. In the future, the chip that is really used for autonomous driving perception may be customized.

  The IPD chip is put on the car after being made into a control calculation unit, which requires a balance between production capacity, output and technical requirements. At present, only high-end cars are equipped with IPD chips. In the future, there will be a lot of room for decline in both perception and planning unit itself, so that it is possible to bring intelligent driving experience to all consumers.

  Moreover, intelligent driving is an investment-intensive period in recent years, and the cost is very high. With the maturity of technology in the future, its efficiency will be greatly reduced, and consumers in the future can experience intelligent driving ability with more frequencies and lower thresholds.

  Media: At present, in the field of autonomous driving perception, various enterprises have different technical paths. Excuse me, in the future, will Zhiji’s auto-driving system choose lidar as the technical development direction?

  Zhiji Automobile: Zhiji L7 chose the vision-based automatic driving perception solution; The whole vehicle is equipped with 12 cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, military-grade ultra-high precision inertial navigation, high-precision maps and V2X terminal technology.

  Based on the advanced visual perception system, Zhiji L7 is also compatible with the redundancy scheme of lidar software and hardware architecture, and supports the upgrade capability of NVIDIA Orin X(500~1000+TOPS) and two lidar systems. Later, when the lidar enters the mature stage of commercial mass production, Zhiji L7 can quickly and conveniently upgrade the lidar system capability. Our second car, the LS7, will also be equipped with advanced laser radar software and hardware system after mass production.

  Media: When is Zhiji Automobile expected to realize L4-class autonomous driving of a single route? When can I experience the Door to Door Pilot autopilot of Zhiji automobile?

  Zhiji Automobile: In fact, the Zhiji L7, which started the pre-sale today, has the self-driving ability of Door to Door Pilot in some cities when it is delivered. Starting from June this year, we will gradually open test drive opportunities to media friends, hoping to bring you an experience worth looking forward to.

  Media: The pre-sale price of Zhiji L7 is 408,800 yuan. What kind of consideration is the price based on? Think of it as a flagship car, and then push a variety of lower-level models, or do you have other considerations? In the era of intelligent electric vehicles, intelligent driving may become the standard of vehicles. In this case, what do you think luxury electric vehicles should look like in the future? What does it support its high price?

  Zhiji Automobile: Frankly speaking, we only introduced the price of the Angel Edition after careful consideration.

  Zhiji L7 is positioned as a luxury pure electric smart car. In terms of size, the wheelbase of Zhiji L7 is 3100mm, which is basically the size of C class and (|), but the size can’t explain everything, because the wheelbase of electric car is different from that of gasoline car.

  In terms of configuration, Zhiji L7 is equipped with CDC electronically controlled suspension and rear wheel steering, which are only available in 800,000 or even millions of traditional cars, as well as our all-aluminum chassis and front double wishbone/rear multi-link suspension system, which are also available in hundreds of thousands of gasoline cars, so from the physical hardware itself, we adopt leapfrog configuration.

  In addition, we have to look at what luxury quality is from another angle. There are two aspects that I particularly want to talk about. The first is design. We didn’t do a design analysis meeting like a fuel car, because the skill of high-end brand design itself is not based on words, but on your feelings. We invited the top designers in the world to design Zhiji L7 to ensure the proportion and streamline of the car body, and we have an overall grasp. If you look at it from 45 degrees behind Zhiji L7, this car brings you a very luxurious atmosphere.

  On the other hand, it is the manufacturing process. For example, Zhiji L7 will be produced in Lingang Lighthouse Factory of SAIC. We have invested more than 100 million yuan to improve the stamping manufacturing capacity of Lingang factory from 300 to 400, so that the quality standard can be improved by leaps and bounds.

  In addition, in terms of VOC control of vehicle interior, our quality and materials are absolutely outstanding, and the total VOC emission inside the vehicle is only one tenth of the national standard, which is definitely the standard of European home improvement industry. From this aspect, I think it is a new way and dimension to express luxury.

  Media: rough stones and crystals are very interesting, but I feel that the gameplay is very complicated. Where are the core interests of users? Recently, data security has attracted great attention. How can we ensure the security of this data and the privacy of users?

  Zhiji Automobile: Actually, the gameplay is very simple. We have two ways to get the original stone. The first type is "nurturing mining". Users only need to download our official APP, participate in brand co-creation activities or interactions, such as limited special exhibitions of art, and discuss how digital art can be combined with smart cockpits, such as publishing suggestions on Zhiji cars on the APP. You can get crystals in activities like this. Then the original stone is extracted in the form of a blind box, and when it is really delivered, the original stone will be activated and grow together with the value of our company.

  The second type is "in-program mining", which aims at the real Zhiji car owners in the future. After owning Zhiji car, they will run a certain mileage every year. When driving Zhiji car, the original stone will fall according to a certain probability, and the more they drive, the greater the probability of getting the original stone.

  We will also regularly publish tasks in the community. For example, when studying intelligent driving, we need some data in specific areas, and car owners can drive to punch in on weekends. Accumulate a certain amount of data, through data backflow, simulation and algorithm, and then we will iterate our intelligent driving technology to give users better products, and at the same time we will give users more feedback. Therefore, it is very simple to play. Both ways, whether you buy a car or not, can participate in our CSOP gameplay.

  When did you choose to do the CSOP user data rights plan? We know very clearly that data is two-sided.

  First of all, starting from the strategy, we have two cameras, a DMS and a CMS in the car, but in order to protect consumers’ privacy, we promise never to adopt the technology of Face ID, and we can completely solve this problem technically. For example, if you are sleepy and your eyelids are fighting, we only need to extract the core information of your face, such as eyebrows and eyelids. In the system, even if hackers come to attack in reverse, they will never find a complete face.

  Secondly, we have established the IDPP Data Privacy Protection Committee, which is set up by experts in customer privacy, and is independent. In the process of developing many new functions, some functions that may violate consumers’ privacy will be decided and evaluated by them.

  Thirdly, we use some advanced technologies, such as zero-knowledge proof, differential privacy, database firewall, etc. to protect data security.

  Based on the above three aspects, users can rest assured that we can use data to create an experience for users without infringing on users’ privacy.

  Media: (|) The concept of 4.9% equity co-creation was also put forward at the press conference; In this regard, what does Zhiji Automobile think?

  Zhiji Automobile: Frankly speaking, our mood is very complicated. A few days ago, I wrote a paragraph on WeChat, saying that CSOP is only the inevitable logic that Zhiji Automobile has led the times, and it will definitely be recognized and follow by more and more people. But I didn’t expect that just a few days later, I would be followed by such a simple and rude follow.

  The reason why it is said that the mood is complicated is because it is difficult for people to imitate CSOP easily. Behind this innovation, we need to invest huge resources and do our homework.

  The first is the compliance barrier, and its operating rules must comply with laws and regulations. The core of this plan is to give back the income corresponding to 4.9% equity to users. To this end, in the past year, we invited more than a dozen law firms to repeatedly scrutinize and study one by one, in order to not only give back the rights and interests for the contribution of user data, but also comply with the supervision of laws and regulations in a seamless way to ensure the smooth operation of CSOP after its launch. Any follower who wants to do this must also do his homework; It is irresponsible to users to imitate and act rashly.

  The second is technical barriers. If we want to give back to users’ rights and interests fairly, justly and openly, we must have strong and advanced technology to support it. There are smart contract technologies, users’ data security and users’ privacy security, which are very complicated and necessary.

  We say that in the intelligent era, the data provided by users is the core driving force for the growth of enterprises; Therefore, all enterprises want to be user-oriented enterprises. According to the logic of this era, the CSOP of Zhiji Automobile is the terminator of white user data. We should also say: following the logic of the intelligent age, if you continue to be vain, you are choosing to be the enemy of the times.

  I believe that there will be more and more followers of Zhizhi in the future.

Dialogue with Zhiji Automobile: The imagination of growth is very large.

Senior director of Zhiji automobile intelligent driving project-Tuoyue

  Media: What kind of differentiated label does Zhiji Automobile want to put on itself in the track of the intelligent age?

  Zhiji automobile: in the intelligent age, data determines experience and software defines automobile. Every  mile  counts,Every  byte  builds! It is the label of Zhiji automobile. We make every kilometer of users’ travel generate value, so that every data provided by users can become the fuel to promote brand progress and product evolution. In the symbiosis and co-creation with users, the user experience is constantly improved, and the user travel experience is getting better and better.

  Media: The first batch of consumers in the pure electric vehicle consumer market have already generated replacement demand. Excuse me, has Zhiji Automobile launched a targeted replacement plan for these "old owners" of pure electric vehicles?

  Zhiji Automobile: I feel that this is a question of exploring the target market. First of all, Zhiji Automobile values the rapidly growing high-end pure electric smart car market segment. In March this year, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in China was 189,000, with a year-on-year growth rate of 300%+, and it is still growing rapidly; Among them, 85% are pure electric vehicles, and the market share of pure electric vehicles with a price of more than 250,000 yuan has increased from 4% to 35%, an increase of nearly 9 times, which clearly shows that the consumption trend of new energy market is tilting towards high-end and high endurance; The goal of Zhiji Automobile is to get our due share from this incremental market first.

  But this is not the whole story. The more important goal of Zhiji Automobile is to occupy a place in the luxury car market. After 28 years of continuous growth, the passenger car market in China began to grow negatively in 2018; On the other hand, from 2018 to 2020, luxury car brands represented by BBA maintained a positive growth rate of double digits in the China market, with an annual sales volume of about 3.5 million vehicles. Therefore, Zhiji Automobile should not only focus on the new energy vehicle market with a monthly sales volume of 189,000 vehicles, but also focus on the luxury car market with an annual sales volume of about 3.5 million vehicles and is making great strides; And the latter is more important. Because in the luxury car market, the proportion of post-85 s and post-90 s is rapidly increasing, and they are the "golden users" of Zhiji Automobile.

  Young users in China have the following characteristics: First, they don’t think BBA is a myth. Users who are a little older have a traditional path of car selection and upgrading in traditional values, for example, upgrading to Mercedes-Benz after getting started and having a small career, and upgrading to &hellip if they have the ability again; … BBA is the representative of a luxury car brand in this path. However, this upgrade route is being gradually broken by young people in China. He doesn’t think BBA is the only landmark in the upgrade route.

  Secondly, young people in China are really "little pink" at heart, and have stronger values and self-confidence. They have a very strong judgment on their own knowledge and values. This view has been repeatedly confirmed in industries such as FMCG and clothing, and it will certainly happen in the automobile industry. Therefore, a truly powerful new species of smart electric vehicles, born in China, must have a strong appeal to young people in China.

  In a word, the core market of Zhiji Automobile is 85% of the new energy vehicle market (pure electric vehicle market segment), and with the young Kochi users in the 3.5 million luxury car market, this market is at least 2 million in annual sales.

  Therefore, the imagination of the growth of Zhiji Automobile is very large.

"Save money" saves the New Year: "Fighting for marriage" is very fashionable and economical.

  Under the financial turmoil, will there be any changes in the way people celebrate the New Year?


  In the past, what attracted our attention was the sky-high New Year’s Eve dinner and the luxury trip abroad … Today, we are more concerned about how to save money and how to save the New Year.


  More and more "money-savers" are constantly emerging: joint manufacturing of New Year’s Eve, entertainment in the Spring Festival Evening of Shanzhai, exchange of new year’s goods, DIY gifts, marriage fight, group buying, couch surfing, book pressing, and online clothes scouring … Everyone has his own unique tricks and experiences. But the overall purpose is to save money.


  Don’t think that saving money is boring. As long as you are creative, saving for the New Year can also bring you infinite joy-


  one


  New Year’s Eve: "United" Manufacturing


  Zhang Tao decided to reunite with his neighbors at home in the Spring Festival of 2009, instead of eating in restaurants. This is how they lived in 2008. On New Year’s Eve, Zhang Tao and his parents took jiaozi to a neighbor’s house. Women from three families cook, wash and stir fry together, each family prepares four or five dishes, and then all of them sit around the table and watch the Spring Festival party while eating the New Year’s Eve dinner. Zhang Tao said that "joint" making New Year’s Eve dinner not only saves money, but also communicates feelings. Isn’t this much more meaningful than having a meal in a restaurant?


  Comment: "A porridge and a meal is hard to come by; It is an inevitable choice to stimulate consumption and expand domestic demand, but it must be remembered that stimulating consumption does not mean giving up the virtue of thrift. Throughout the year, several families get together at home, cook a few side dishes, drink two glasses of wine, talk to each other about their work and life in the past year, and get rid of what they usually want to say without time. It’s really enjoyable! You can’t enjoy this feeling when you go to a restaurant. Several families get together, which is lively, friendly and economical. Why not?

  New year’s goods exchange: in exchange for excitement


  Years ago, Xiao Li was worried about a lot of oranges, cigarettes and shopping cards from friends, colleagues and relatives: several boxes of oranges will rot if you don’t finish eating them, cigarettes will mildew if you don’t smoke them, shopping cards in some shopping malls and supermarkets are limited in time, and some shopping malls are too far away from home … What should I do? If you leave those surplus gifts and shopping cards idle, it will be a waste of money. Can you exchange new year’s goods and gifts with others? Change something you want? At last, Xiao Li traded a box of oranges for a box of apples, another box of oranges for a box of milk, cigarettes for Dynasty dry red wine, and a shopping card for a purple sand tea set.


  Comment: Why not try to "exchange" new year’s goods? In fact, exchange is everywhere. If we can open our minds and actively exchange with others, we will have many fresh feelings and exchange more wonderful things!


  three


  "spell marriage": very fashionable and economical


  Both Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang chose to sign the wedding in the Spring Festival, so they reached a "spelling marriage" agreement, and the wedding date was set on the same day and booked the same hotel. Next, they bought air conditioners, refrigerators, televisions and other household appliances together. Because they bought a lot, they confidently sought the lowest price from the manager. Later, they also made a five-day honeymoon trip to Guilin during the Spring Festival. The original price of a couple was 5,000 yuan/person. When two couples put together, they got a preferential price of 4,200 yuan/person, saving 800 yuan for each person. And diamond rings are also "spelled".


  Comment: The quality of marriage is far more important than the quality of wedding. It is better to do what you can than to tighten your belt. It is really fashionable and economical to get married together and hold a wedding together to save flavor. Friends who are still considering whether to get married for the cost, what are you hesitating about? Why don’t you get on the happy express train of "spelling marriage"


  four


  Gift DIY: as it seems.


  Speaking of Chinese New Year, what I have to mention is giving gifts. Sending parents, friends and superiors, people take great pains for this matter every year.


  In major shopping malls and supermarkets, all kinds of gifts are placed in the most prominent position. Experts say that in fact, most gift boxes seem to be beautifully packaged, but in fact they are only superficial, and the things inside are flashy. At present, many supermarkets and shopping malls have counters dedicated to packaging. Customers can choose their own gifts, and then spend another 10 yuan to let the waiters in charge of packaging design and package them to show their personality. In addition, you can buy your own cartons and wrapping paper and pack them yourself. In addition to the gift itself, it also reflects a deep affection, and it is passed on to the recipient through personal packaging. Alcohol, health products, time-honored cakes, dry seafood, clothing, stationery, etc. can all do this.


  Comment: Now all commodities are packaged. Can the Spring Festival gift be an exception? Although the Spring Festival, as a reunion complex, is getting more and more gift-oriented, some excessive "packaging" and "bundling" practices are not enough. I believe it will be more popular if you do DIY yourself and put more effort into "emotional packaging".

  Spring Festival Gala: A "shanzhai" version


  On the Hurun Rich List in 2008, Fan Jianchuan, the chairman of Jianchuan Industrial Group, who ranked 406th and gained great fame in the whole country because of the adoption of "Pig Strong", said that the company has thousands of employees, and since 2003, it has organized an internal party for one or two days every year. This year, affected by the financial turmoil, the company’s top management was all busy with business, so they had to cancel the gala.


  On the contrary, in order to strengthen the cohesion of enterprises, some enterprises insist on holding parties this year, but they do not invite celebrities, but all departments write and perform themselves. In order to make everyone happy and cheer for everyone.


  Comment: "shanzhai spirit" is an attitude. Although "shanzhai" is imitation, slowly, "shanzhai" products will also bear their own unique brand. "Shanzhai" is giving birth to an innovative culture. The "garage culture" of foreigners can give birth to a wave of industries, but why is it not possible for the "cottage culture"? Imagine living in a cottage, driving a cottage car, wearing a cottage watch, playing a cottage machine, making cottage tea and watching the cottage Spring Festival Evening. In short, "shanzhai" is synonymous with high cost performance, so why not?


  six


  Group buying: many hands make light work.


  Buying new year’s goods by group is the most frugal and fashionable lifestyle at present. In some wholesale markets, many white-collar workers go together, and then buy decorations such as New Year pictures, calendars, lanterns, Spring Festival couplets and Chinese knots in bulk from merchants. There are also new year’s goods such as retail and seafood. For example, candy, single catty and bulk group purchase, the price of a large bag often differs by hundreds of yuan. In addition to centralized group buying, some people also contact manufacturers directly, which is cheaper.


  Comments: In life, the shadow of "group buying" can be seen everywhere. The significance of this "group holding" life actually lies in making people know how to cherish and save, and also strengthening the cooperation and communication between people. It is a positive and reasonable life arrangement for pursuing greater happiness and a fashionable and healthy lifestyle. People who "fight" for life are not without money, but they have a deeper and healthier understanding of life.

  Spring Festival Travel: Being a "Sofa Guest"


  In recent years, tourism, as a trendy lifestyle, has been more and more loved by people. However, financial constraints often make it difficult for the good wishes of the donkey friends to come true. "Sofabed", a new fashion travel mode that exchanges accommodation through the Internet, makes their dreams come true. Rich "donkey friends" can exchange their own houses and enjoy each other’s quality of life; Why can’t "donkey friends" who have no money act as "couch potatoes" and spend the night with each other to save travel expenses? Zhang Li of Beijing is a travel enthusiast, so he naturally doesn’t want to give up the great opportunity to go out during the Spring Festival. He met a Mr. Li who lives in Hainan on the Internet. Mr. Li’s family plans to travel to Beijing, while Zhang Li’s family plans to go to Hainan. So the two sides reached an agreement to exchange accommodation and enjoy the idle resources in each other’s home, which not only saved accommodation and meals, but also saved a lot of money, especially because they would not be trusted by tour guides to be the suckers of shopping.


  Comment: The sofa of "Sofa Guest" makes the world very small. Although it sometimes provides only a sofa or a floor, it can connect strangers all over the world into a line. Such a trip is not only a cultural exchange, but also gives us a chance to rethink our life and life.


  eight


  "Book of pressing the age": Farewell to "money worship"


  Many parents also think that giving "lucky money" to relatives, friends and children is very cliche, and it is easy for children to breed "money worship". Mr. Zhang said: How can you find friends with empty hands during the New Year? Needless to say, relatives are friends for many years. In the past, every New Year, the first thing to do was to visit relatives to send and receive lucky money. The usual practice is this: after the New Year’s Day, all families begin to take their children to visit relatives and friends, so you give my children lucky money and I will give your children lucky money. Generally, we have to settle accounts. How much should each of his children give? My family has only one child … Are you tired? It was originally an opportunity to communicate feelings, which made everyone start to calculate. So he decided not to send "lucky money" this year, but to give some useful books to relatives, friends and children.


  Comment: Giving children lucky money has become an indispensable part of Chinese New Year. Children have become "rich" overnight, ranging from thousands of lucky money to hundreds or dozens of yuan. With money in hand, children are generous, and it is easy to develop the bad habit of spending money indiscriminately. Parents and friends might as well ask their relatives and friends to replace the lucky money with "spiritual" products and give the children a "spiritual gift" to celebrate the New Year’s Eve. "How Steel was Tempered", "Red Rock" and "One Hundred Thousand Why" are all good books to celebrate the New Year’s Eve!

  Online "Amoy" Clothes: New Frugalism


  "Neo-frugalism" doesn’t mean scrimping and saving because of the reduction of money in your pocket, but enjoying life rationally and pragmatically. "I still want to buy new clothes for my family this year, but I don’t want to buy those famous brands that cost thousands of dollars. I’m going to go online to find some affordable and beautiful clothes." Xiao Jing, who has been shopping online for more than three years, said that her new clothes for the New Year have been done online. She bought a new 2008 ELAND coat online, which cost less than 1200 yuan, while in some shopping malls in the city, this coat cost more than 2000 yuan.


  Comment: Advocating "new frugality" does not mean lowering the quality of life. In the current "extraordinary period", "expanding domestic demand to stimulate consumption" and "thrift" are not a pair of contradictions. While expanding domestic demand to stimulate consumption, everyone advocates "new frugalism", which inherits the traditional virtue of thrift. Whether you have money or not, you have to have a good year. Diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and we can’t lose them at any time, especially during the Chinese New Year holidays. As long as we work together in Qi Xin, we will be able to survive this economic "cold current". (Ma Jing Jing)

Focus interview: the characteristic industry becomes stronger, and millet flour breaks through the world.

  Cctv news(Focus Interview): In the fifth batch of national intangible cultural heritage projects just announced, there is a special snack on the list, which is snail powder in Liuzhou, Guangxi. In recent years, through industrial production and online sales, snail powder has spread all over the country and even sold all over the world. In 2020, the sales revenue of bagged Liuzhou snail powder reached more than 10 billion yuan, which was 22 times higher than that of five years ago. It took only six years from the birth of the first bagged snail powder enterprise at the end of 2014 to the output of over 10 billion in 2020. Isn’t it amazing? Just in April this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader also came to Liuzhou snail powder production enterprises to learn about the industrial development, affirmed the high-quality development of the industry, and put forward new requirements for future development.

  Snail powder, the favorite food of Liuzhou people. For many Liuzhou people, memories from childhood are accompanied by the taste of snail powder.

  When General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Liuzhou in April this year, he specially came to the snail powder production enterprises and affirmed the achievements made in the high-quality development of the snail powder industry.

  Snail powder originated from the street night market in Liuzhou in the 1980s, and it used to be eaten only in Liuzhou. Because of its special technology and many ingredients, and these ingredients must be produced locally to maintain the original flavor, it is very limited to open a shop in other places because of the high cost of air transportation.

  However, in recent years, with the development of e-commerce, especially the richness of online marketing methods such as short videos and live broadcasts, snail powder suddenly became popular. How hot is it? On the Internet, the topic of snail powder always attracts the attention of the whole people, and the reading volume often reaches several hundred million, so snail powder has become a veritable "online celebrity".

  Hot attention has brought hot sales. Especially during the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, Liuzhou snail powder went against the trend. The 12,000 snail powder shops in the whole network sold nearly 800 million packages of snail powder a year, ranking first in Taobao’s big data sales list. In 2020, the sales revenue of bagged Liuzhou snail powder will reach 10.994 billion yuan, and Liuzhou snail powder has developed from a small roadside stall into a billion-dollar industry.

  In the snail powder e-commerce industrial park in Liuzhou, the anchors of various snail powder enterprises are busy with live broadcasts every day, and sales are very hot. Behind such a huge sales volume is a standardized and large-scale production system to ensure quality and efficiency.

  In a large local snail powder production enterprise, the reporter saw not only a modern production line, but also an intelligent information control center, which uses 5G technology and big data to monitor all aspects of production and sales in real time.

  Not only the production process can be monitored in real time, but also all sales can be counted and analyzed in real time with accurate data, which is convenient for better grasping the market.

  The high-quality development of Liuzhou snail powder industry has become a model for the development of local characteristic industries in China.

  When General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Liuzhou in April this year, he also gave specific guidance on the future development of Liuzhou snail powder industry, with particular emphasis on ensuring quality and safety and promoting standardization and branding.

  Many people say that Liuzhou snail powder is lucky to stand out from the fierce competition and become a dark horse in the snack industry. However, no luck is accidental. No matter which industry is successful, it must have gone through a hard road, with the efforts and efforts of countless people.

  Yan Zhenhua is the founder of a snail powder enterprise in Liuzhou. He plays a special role in the development of snail powder industry.

  Yan Zhenhua first came up with the idea of making snail powder into bagged products because he couldn’t eat snail powder from his hometown when he was in college in other places. He thought it might be a very promising market. After graduation, Yan Zhenhua returned to Liuzhou and began to develop bagged production of snail powder.

  After being rejected many times, finally a factory is willing to cooperate to develop raw materials suitable for bag production. At this time, the local government realized this situation and was keenly aware that it was an opportunity for the development of characteristic industries.

  The local government began to promote the industrial production of snail powder. Because snail powder used to have only physical stores, there was no licensing procedure for industrial production, and everything had to be started from scratch.

  After hard work, in 2014, Yan Zhenhua’s company obtained the first "industrial product production license" for snail powder in China. Since then, snail powder can be produced in bags and sold everywhere. Soon several production enterprises in Liuzhou developed.

  Although the industry started, the initial production was very chaotic.

  At the beginning of the enterprise, all of them were produced in small workshops, with low efficiency and uneven quality. How the industry should go on tests the vision and wisdom of government managers.

  Although snail powder is just a snack, the local government has set the goal of developing it into a "modern industry with characteristics" from the beginning, insisting on standardized and branded production and taking the road of high-quality development. And this first needs to formulate a strict and unified production standard.

  The industrial production of snail powder is from scratch, and all technologies and processes must be explored by ourselves. Entrepreneurs have overcome countless problems, and production equipment has been developed and updated for several generations. These advances are inseparable from the innovative spirit of enterprises and the support and promotion of the government. In this regard, the local government has also made a lot of efforts.

  Developing characteristic industries will not only benefit enterprises, but also benefit local people and make them live a better life. When General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited in April this year, he also emphasized this point.

  It is also the goal of the local government to make the development of snail powder industry benefit more people. To this end, the local government takes snail powder as the core and vigorously develops the whole industrial chain, so that more people can increase their income and get rich.

  Huang Shoujiang used to be a poor household in the village, living on the meager income of growing rice. In recent years, with the development of snail powder industry, the raw materials of snail powder, such as bamboo shoots, fungus and snails, are also in great demand. So the local government has successively built more than 500,000 mu of breeding bases to encourage farmers, especially poor households, to breed. Huang Shoujiang also planted bamboo shoots with the encouragement of government workers.

  In order to help farmers grow and breed, the local government has issued many practical policies, such as granting subsidies according to the area, sending technicians to guide farmers to standardize and breed, and signing purchase contracts with enterprises, which not only ensures the quality of raw materials, but also solves the worries of farmers.

  Now, the 6 mu of bamboo shoots planted by Huang Shoujiang can increase income by more than 20,000 yuan a year, and with the income from working, it will soon get rid of poverty. In Liuzhou, there are nearly 30,000 poverty-stricken households like Huang Shoujiang who have been lifted out of poverty by breeding snail powder raw materials, and farming has benefited more than 200,000 farmers. Their lives have changed due to industrial development.

  The local characteristic industries have developed well, and it is the local people who get the greatest benefits. In Liuzhou, an increasingly perfect snail powder industrial chain and diversified new industrial formats are taking shape: from raw material production in the upper reaches, food processing and packaging in the middle reaches, to supermarkets, e-commerce and logistics in the lower reaches, to cultural tourism experience and cultural and creative products, etc., the first, second and third industries are integrated and developed, benefiting countless people in the industrial chain. In the future, I hope that this "millet flour industry", like the hope placed by the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, will continue on the road of high-quality development and do better and stronger.

Volvo’s new XC60: smarter, for safety.

When it comes to Volvo, "safety" will almost be the first word in everyone’s mind. With the advantages of brand history, reputation and safety performance, Volvo has achieved double growth in brand and sales in China. Among them, XC60 is Volvo’s most popular and highest-selling model. In 2020, XC60 accounted for about 30% of Volvo’s sales in China.

Facing the luxury medium-sized SUV market which is already in the Red Sea, Volvo XC60 (parameter picture) has a place in the highly competitive market with its distinctive Nordic brand label and excellent safety performance.

On June 11th, the new XC60 was officially launched, with a total of 9 styles including 1 B4, 5 B5 and 3 T8. The official guide price is 373,900-603,900 yuan. The new car continues to strengthen its competitiveness to cope with the upgrade of its competitors. The key word this time is "intelligence".

Intelligence is the only way for Volvo to be safe.

"Intelligence" is the only way for Volvo to achieve the ultimate safety in the new era, but people are the starting point and end point of all Volvo technologies. Therefore, the upgrade focus of the new XC60 is intelligence.

In fact, in the intelligent tide of the automobile industry, the safety of automobile products is constantly approaching this aspect, including intelligent and safe driving, pedestrian safety, and car networking. As a representative in the field of automobile safety, Volvo also demonstrated its future layout of intelligent safety technology through the launch of the new XC60.

The first is the intelligent cockpit. The new intelligent concept and technology have further changed our car life and made the car operate like a smart phone.

Volvo’s new XC60 has a built-in native Android car, which is based on the standard version of the car Android system jointly developed by Volvo and Google, which can achieve better adaptation and effectively promote the establishment of an open intelligent ecosystem.

On the other hand, Volvo cooperates with the best partners in various fields, such as Ali, Tencent, Huawei, Iflytek and Gaode Map, to create the best application and service, and it can be accessed through the ONE ID account system. The most intuitive example is the WeChat scan code login machine, which is the only model that can be achieved at present.

The upgrade iteration of intelligent driving technology is the top priority of Volvo safety.

In 2015, the Volvo industry first introduced the Pilot Assist navigation assistance system, equipped with three world-first intelligent safety technologies. The whole system comes standard with City Safety urban safety assistance system, which has been iterated for many times in the past ten years, covering travel safety to every participant on the road and making safety to the extreme.

At the same time, Volvo is constantly approaching the advanced stage of intelligent driving-automatic driving, which is realized by cooperating with a series of technology companies. For example, to become the first automobile brand supported by NVIDIA OrinX chip, the powerful chip provides enough computing power for the automatic driving system, and the brand-new electronic and electrical architecture based on the central computing platform and Ethernet will ensure the high-speed data throughput required by the automatic driving function.

Volvo plans to achieve highly automatic driving assistance functions such as navigation assistance and automatic lane change according to the route set by navigation in 2023. Around 2025, automatic driving without human intervention will be realized on closed road sections. At present, it has reached a strategic partnership with Waymo, the world’s leading autonomous driving company.

In China, Volvo cooperated with Didi Chuxing to launch XC60 self-driving taxi service in Shanghai last year, and in April this year, Didi provided hundreds of XC90 self-driving cars equipped with redundant systems supporting steering and braking functions.

With the upgrading of the three strengths, the new XC60 is more competitive and has more cards.

The XC60 model has been recognized by many elite consumers in the city and established a good reputation. Therefore, the internal and external design of this annual change has not changed much. After all, this design is excellent enough. Choosing fine-tuning will be more rational and safe, mainly through the adjustment of details and materials to improve the overall texture and grade of the car.

For example, the straight waterfall chrome plating on the front face of the luxury model adds a broken line design, and the C-shaped chrome trim on both sides of the old bumper is replaced with a long strip design on the new model, which stretches the visual width of the front of the car. The sports version is replaced with a more radical bumper, and the net adopts a sharper and more dynamic blackened dot matrix style.

There are also many changes in the new XC60. All electronic gear bars have replaced the old mechanical gear bars, and the luxury version has used the Swedish royal national treasure Orrefors crystal gear bar. In addition, the medium-high configuration version will be equipped with or equipped with B&W Baohua Weijian audio system, and the whole system is still the only CleanZone? Nordic clean cockpit at the same level. On the whole, the cockpit of XC60 has a very distinctive temperament and luxury label compared with BBA of the same level and competitors of second-tier luxury brands. Many consumers choose XC60 for this set of interior.

Intelligent cockpit and safety upgrade are all reflected in the new XC60. For example, the only native built-in Android car system at the same level, the open Ali/Tencent/Huawei open ecological full coverage and Iflytek natural speech semantic recognition system provide drivers and passengers with a more convenient travel experience. In addition, the threshold of City Safety urban intelligent safety system is further lowered, and all XC60 models are equipped.

In terms of performance, the power control chassis of the new XC60 has been fully upgraded.

In terms of power, the whole new car is upgraded with 48V light mixing system, which further improves the overall performance and fuel saving level, and also significantly improves NVH and ride comfort.

Volvo Cars has formed a complete electrified product matrix including pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles and light hybrid vehicles. According to Volvo’s timetable for electrification transformation, all product lines will be electrified in 2021; In 2030, it became a pure electric luxury car enterprise; Strive to become a climate zero-load benchmark enterprise in 2040.

In terms of chassis control, the damping adjustment of the shock absorber of the new car tends to improve comfort, and with the seat jointly developed by the Royal Swedish Medical College, the driving comfort is further improved.

In addition, the new XC60 adopts an electronically controlled braking system to achieve a braking response of 0.15 seconds, and the braking response speed is increased by 2 times; There is also a full-time intelligent four-wheel drive system +4C adaptive chassis and air suspension equipment, which greatly improves the driving safety and handling.

Zero integer ratio is the best, attracting more rational users.

In the current market, XC60 still focuses on mainstream rivals such as Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3 and Audi Q5L. In terms of brand power, Volvo may not be as good as it is, but in terms of product quality, XC60′ s advantages lie in more complete safety equipment and more cost-effective configuration advantages. There is also the tonality and connotation of Volvo’s unique brand.

Another thing I have to mention is the zero integral ratio. In the 12th Vehicle Zero-integral Ratio System Data released by China Automotive Technology Research Institute, the zero-integral ratio coefficient of BMW Brilliance X3 is 700.72%, that of Beijing Benz GLC is 614.69%, that of FAW Audi Q5L is 479.20%, and that of Volvo XC60 is only 466.60%, which is obviously the lowest among competing products of the same level.

The lower the zero integral ratio, the lower the maintenance cost of this model, not only the XC60, but also the models under the Volvo brand have lower zero integral ratio than the same level, which is a big attraction for the rational luxury car consumers, and many users who choose Volvo are actually rational buyers.

Zhong Shu

Nowadays, the competition of luxury medium-sized SUVs is becoming more and more fierce, and the "differentiation" characteristics of products will become a breakthrough. The unique Nordic design and people-oriented safety concept of XC60 will attract more and more attention. At the same time, fully accessing the online ecosystem of Ali, Tencent and Huawei, and Volvo embracing local suppliers in China to further meet the domestic market demand will become Volvo’s competitive advantage.

The "most luxurious" domestic car once added 120 thousand to wait in line for the bus, but now no one wants to sell it at a loss

The price increase of a domestic car is more than 100 thousand, which is really unimaginable in the past. A few years ago, the Cyber Edition model from a domestic car became a hot potato in the market once it was listed. The official price was 308,000 yuan. However, due to its excellent off-road performance and cool design, it was named domestic big G by the majority of off-road enthusiasts, and the pre-sale order for two days broke 30,000. At that time, it was hard to find a car. Car dealers hoarded this car in large quantities, and then sold it at a high price. At one time, it even needed to increase the price by 120,000 yuan to clinch a deal. It can be seen that its popularity is self-evident. It is estimated that even Great Wall Motor would not have thought that 300 would be so hot. Is it a limited collection value of 3000 sets? Or is it a moment of hype to attract attention? With such a question, today we will interpret this model in detail. Is it worth the price?

Appearance, the whole body frame looks like a square box design similar to Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Jeep herdsman. The front face uses a large area of blackened honeycomb air intake grille, which is matched with a penetrating LED strip that echoes the daytime running lights inside the headlight group. After lighting, it forms a penetrating light strip effect, which is full of science fiction. The air intake on the hood highlights the wild and powerful performance of the car. The bumper below is surrounded by a bulge, and the whole front face can be said to be the perfect fusion of mecha and wildness. In addition, a Y-shaped LED light source is added to the front bumper, and four LED strip are also designed in front of the spoiler on the roof, which is very Cyberpunk’s feel.

In terms of size, the length, width and height dimensions of the new car are: 4679*1967*1958mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm, which is a compact SUV.The filling material of the seat is very thick, the wrapping is good, and the lateral support is also in place.

On the side, the new car is equipped with a set of 21-inch blackened forged rims (275/45 R21) and also uses brake calipers with the same color interior. The wheel cover also has a shape similar to a cooling hole extending to the fender, which is matched.The raised square box body and the triple window all have a sense of sight of big G. The spare tire box with a square tail is very individual. The roof uses a large spoiler tail, and the rear bumper shape echoes the front bumper, which is also a big surrounding shape of racing style. The taillight group adopts a vertical taillight group, and at the same time, a blackened sports kit is added to the bottom of the rear enclosure, which shows a good dynamic atmosphere with the carbon fiber tail above the rear windshield.

The details of the car are really great. A large area of white material is used, a large number of carbon fiber materials and NAPPA leather materials are coated, and the details are covered with a touch of black andMetallic texturedDecorated with chrome trim,The luxury and texture in the car will be instantly raised to a higher level. The center console is equipped with a three-position steering wheel, a 12.3-inch LCD instrument and a 12.3-inch central control panel. At the same time, the new car adopts a round air-conditioning outlet similar to Mercedes-Benz G-Class, with small clocks and electronic gear shifting mechanism in the middle of the table, and various knobs+function buttons are arranged around the gear handle.

In terms of configuration, it provides 360-degree panoramic images, 9-speaker Swallow Lishi audio, 64-color ambient lights, K-MAN nitrogen shock absorbers, carbon fiber tail fins, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, active braking, full-speed adaptive cruise, fatigue driving tips, front and rear parking radar, automatic start and stop, automatic parking, uphill assist, steep slope descent, keyless entry, keyless start and built-in driving recorder.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 167kW and a peak torque of 387 N m. The transmission is matched with an 8AT gearbox, providing part-time 4wd system. In addition, the new car is also equipped with front and rear differential locks, all-terrain feedback, crawling mode, tank U-turn, off-road information display and other functions, and also provides 9 driving modes.And the non-loaded body professional off-road chassis is adopted.

Generally speaking, it is hard to find a car for the tank 300 Cyber Edition, which is the hunger marketing of the Great Wall. It creates the feeling of scarcity of goods through quantification, so as to achieve the intention of selling well or even increasing the price.But in fact, in fact, the ornamental attribute of this car is greater than the functional attribute, soTank 300 Cyber EditionIs it really hard to find a car? Is it really so charming? I don’t think so! Because in the year before last, the price of cyber tanks dropped significantly compared with the peak period. Some car dealers dropped by 80,000, and some car dealers bought at a high price at that time, but now they can only sell at a loss. Why did the magic car that had to increase the price by 120 thousand yuan suddenly lose its fragrance? What do you think is the reason? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.

In the face of the explosion of Huawei, why are you most anxious about ideals?

Ideal has held many strategic meetings in recent years. At the strategic meeting in early 2021, Li Xiang specially invited Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen from the US delegation, and finally came to the conclusion that 2025 is the turning point of the new energy vehicle market in China, and the ideal must achieve an annual sales volume of 1.6 million units in order not to be eliminated.

From 2021 to now, car companies are indeed facing this increasingly fierce competition. On the one hand, the market share is further concentrated in Tesla and BYD. On the other hand, traditional car companies such as Volkswagen and General Motors have begun to launch key models. At the same time, there are also Huawei and Apple that are not moving for the time being. It can be called the hundred regiments battle of the electric car version.

In September of this year, Huawei released the new M7, which wrinkled a pool of spring water. According to 36Kr, the ideal is once again on the verge of an enemy, and another strategy meeting has been held in recent days. It is reported that the meeting has a huge agenda, lasting for four days, and intensively discussed the strategic direction and landing rhythm of LI in the next 5-10 years. Strategically, BYD, Huawei and Tesla were listed as strong rivals in Ideal Interior according to the market structure in 2025, and BYD ranked first. This year, the name has been changed to Huawei.

Facing Huawei, the ideal of top students has become the most anxious one.

Li Xiang’s attention and anxious attitude are somewhat surprising. After all, when it comes to anxiety, it’s definitely not ideal-horizontally comparing Tucki, Weilai, Zero Run and other peers, the ideal delivery volume, revenue and profit are all leading the way, and the position of the new power to build cars is secure.

In terms of delivery volume, a total of 36,060 new cars were delivered in September, a year-on-year surge of 212.7%, which also set a new high in a single month. Although the delivery volume of Tucki and Weilai has also improved, there are only 15,310 vehicles and 15,641 vehicles respectively, and the gap is visible to the naked eye. Judging from the growth rate, Ideal has been climbing steadily in the first three quarters of this year, with a year-on-year growth rate of 296.3% in the third quarter, which is not in an order of magnitude with the other two old enemies.

Looking at the data on the financial side, the ideal advantage is more obvious. In the second quarter of this year, the ideal net profit of returning to the mother was as high as 2.31 billion yuan, and the profit in the first half of this year has almost filled the losses in the previous three fiscal years. Compared with bicycle profit and gross profit rate, ideal is more outstanding: in the second quarter, ideal bicycle income was 323,200, bicycle net profit was 26,700, gross profit rate of automobile sales reached 21%, and Tesla’s bicycle gross profit rate was 18.65% in the same period.

Since the situation is excellent, why does Huawei make its ideals so tense? First of all, ask the new M7, which can be said to be the direct competitor of the ideal L7.

It’s nothing new in the automobile circle in recent years to show the advantages of products by comparing competing data. There are also two such roles in the new M7 conference, one is BMW X5L and the other is ideal L7.

At present, these two models rank first and third respectively in the sales ranking of medium and large SUVs in China, among which the first and second are ideal L7 and L8 respectively.

BMW X5L, as a popular model in the era of fuel vehicles, can be seen as "compared" in many press conferences, but L7 seems to be difficult to understand. After all, the competing product of the new M7 should be L8 in time sequence. Why does the new M7 list L7 as a competing product?

This is because the new M7 is no longer just a 5-door and 6-seat model, but also redesigned the layout and added 5-door and 5-seat models. In terms of vehicle size, the boundary M7 is also closer to the ideal L7, the former is 5020*1945*1760mm, and the latter is 5050*1995*1750mm.

In terms of pricing, the 2024 model M7 has launched five models, with the price range of 249,800 yuan to 329,800 yuan, which is about 70,000 yuan lower than that of the 2022 model.

Compared with the three versions of the ideal L7, which cost RMB 31.98, RMB 33.98 and RMB 379,800, the new M7 has opened a sufficient price gap. In particular, the M7 Max five-seat intelligent driving version with high-order intelligent driving assistance and the ideal L7 Air without air suspension and laser radar have formed a strong dislocation competition situation, and the M7 Max six-seat intelligent driving version and the L8 Air will have the same high probability.

In addition to outstanding cost performance, Huawei Mate 60 series has driven Huawei’s popularity to an unprecedented level, and then the brand power has spilled over to the world. Some analysts believe that the determined price reduction of the new M7 is only the main reason for the sharp increase in sales in the world. The fundamental reason is the social sensation brought by Huawei Mate series, which brings huge passenger flow to stores. And Huawei has a huge user base in China, which overlaps with the potential users in LI.

According to the latest data, Huawei has ordered more than 60,000 new M7 vehicles in the market for about one month.

(Source: Wen Jie Guan Wei)

Huawei is different from its former rivals: it can make products and do marketing.

In addition to the direct competition of products, Huawei is very different from its former competitors.

LI creates a sense of luxury through the big sofa with refrigerator and color TV. Compared with the traditional BBA, it is very cost-effective in space and interior decoration. Coupled with excellent marketing, the sales volume keeps rising.

However, the ideal moat is too shallow, because it does not have its own core technology, and it has no outstanding advantages in three-electric system, energy efficiency, chassis, range extender, intelligence and other technologies. It is constantly reported that it is impossible to brake when encountering a large truck on a sunny day, and it is impossible to recognize the scratching accident of the ice cream cone at high speed. A series of negative news about intelligent driving such as "overturning" at the press conference site can be seen.

A good product is the perfect combination of technology and business, and the ideal meets the real opponent, because Huawei knows both technology and marketing.

What Li Xiang really fears is not a certain product in the world, but the powerful combat capability of Huawei Corps. Huawei’s "wolf nature" is well known in the industry, and its capital reserve, technical strength, channel resources and organizational ability are far from what ordinary startups can compare.

Huawei’s characteristic is that after finding the breakthrough, the relevant business groups devote themselves to it in a legion manner, relying on the staff size of 200,000 people and the bonus of engineers to achieve the ultimate efficiency and cost performance. Just like a dam break, we will turn our potential energy into market share.

In the past, Huawei has proved this in the communications and mobile phone markets. Even after being sanctioned by the United States, Huawei still eats more than half of the domestic high-end mobile phone market.

And the old question M7 once brought great shock to the ideal. "In the third quarter of 2022, the release and trading of M7 in the world directly crippled Li ONE. We have never met such a strong opponent. For a long time, we have no strength to fight back."

(Source: Li Xiang Weibo)

This is Li Xiang’s description of M7 in an essay in June this year.

Ideal is prepared to spend money to make up for the shortcomings of his own wisdom.

In the face of such competitors, it is not difficult to understand that Li wants to choose to temporarily avoid its edge when talking about Huawei.

According to the 36Kr report, a person familiar with the matter said that the ideal dialogue technique originally at the sales end has now been cancelled, and the M7 has not been mentioned on its own initiative. "If a car owner asks about it, say that the L6 that is ideal for next year is a price product with the M7."

However, as the saying goes, the brave will win in the narrow road. In the face of Huawei’s continuous invasion of its hinterland, the ideal will naturally not really be left unchecked. In this regard, the ideal choice is to save money and use it to make up for the shortcomings of your own wisdom.

According to 36Kr, how to "spend money well" has become an internal consensus of Ideal. The financial report shows that as of the end of the second quarter, the ideal cash on hand was 73.77 billion yuan, equivalent to the sum of Weilai and Tucki in the same period. Next, choosing the direction and crazy investment are the keys to the ideal to break the game.

In terms of products, the ideal thinking about the demand side is to choose to continue to deepen the main battlefield of family segmentation and extend the product planning to 2027. On the other hand, Li Xiang is still working hard to break the bottleneck of production capacity. On October 10th, he issued a document saying that the impact of Changzhou factory upgrading and Beijing factory qualification switching at the end of September has been lifted. "We can challenge the delivery of 40,000 in advance this month".

At the same time, for the function of intelligent driving, Li Xiang also has a "late step" reflection, and bluntly said, "The lessons that fall behind due to insufficient investment can only be solved by strengthening investment." At the same time, it is ideal to promote the person in charge of perception and system to vice president respectively, which is a signal that the weight of smart driving business is upgraded. In addition, on October 10th, LI officially released more than 50 jobs for intelligent driving in one breath, covering software algorithms, large models, vehicle hardware, testing, operation and other fields.

Some people close to the ideal revealed that they think that by 2025, the decisive battle of smart cars in the second half will be over. At that time, they will come out if they can run out, and they will be gone if they can’t. Because the data model and training amount have been finalized, what is needed behind it is a large number of start-up users, which is the decisive battle time in these three years. Ideal will try to overtake at the corner of the smart driving track.

No one can accurately predict whether the smart driver of the ideal future will catch up later, but it can be predicted that after the end of the year, Ideal and Huawei will further meet in product matrix and technology. In the next knockout, any short board may give the opponent a chance to overtake.

In this context, family background and technology will become the key words for new energy vehicle enterprises to compete.

On the eve of the introduction of national standards, the battery selection of low-speed electric vehicles is controversial again

  For most industries, the formulation and promulgation of national standards have more advantages than disadvantages for standardizing the market, unified management and reasonable competition among different enterprises. Recently, however, the formulation of a national standard for low-speed electric vehicles has triggered a big war of words among enterprises, academics and markets.

  Debate between lead-acid battery and lithium battery

  The cause of the incident was that on December 30 last year, after consultation with the relevant departments of low-speed electric vehicle standards, it was clear that low-speed electric vehicles were equipped with lithium batteries, and lead batteries were rejected as power sources for low-speed electric vehicles. Later, Dong Yang, the leader of the drafting group of four-wheel low-speed electric vehicle standards and the executive vice president of China Automobile Industry Association, also pointed out in an article that lead batteries will not be allowed to be used in the formulation of low-speed electric vehicle standards, and frontal and side impact experiments are required.

  "If the new national standard is implemented, it means that 90% of low-speed electric vehicle enterprises will be destroyed, and the excellent situation of the development of low-speed electric vehicle industry will be destroyed." Wei Xueqin, executive vice president and secretary general of Shandong Automobile Association, said helplessly in an interview.

  Low-speed electric vehicle companies also expressed concern about the introduction of this standard. Shu Xin, general manager of Reading Automobile, said frankly that the mainstream price of low-speed electric vehicles is 20,000 ~ 30,000 yuan, accounting for more than 80% of the whole market. If we change from lead battery to lithium battery, the price of bicycle will rise to 40 thousand yuan, but this market is only about 5%. "Such a small market is difficult to operate, and it is difficult for dealers to feed. In the future, the market will disappear."

  What is the difference between lead battery and lithium battery? Which battery is more suitable for low-speed electric vehicles?

  Safety is not the weakness of lead-acid batteries. It is understood that the lead-acid battery has been born for more than 160 years. Since its birth, the whole world has been researching and developing whether there is any new technology to replace it, but up to now, there is still no mature technology to completely replace it.

  The focus of controversy lies in the pollution risk of lead-acid batteries. In 2016, the market size of low-speed electric vehicles has reached 1.2 million. Some experts believe that if a large number of batteries are eliminated, lead pollution will easily occur in the process of recycling and smelting, which will not only endanger human health, but also cause environmental pollution.

  Therefore, in the selection of batteries for low-speed electric vehicles, some experts have given high expectations to lithium batteries. Compared with lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries have advantages in energy density and cycle life. Using lithium batteries can make low-speed electric vehicles lighter and the cruising range can be improved one after another.

  In this regard, an industry source said that "lead battery recycling is a false proposition". "In 2016, China sold more than 28 million traditional cars, which means that 28 million lead batteries were used. Why didn’t anyone ask, what is the recovery rate of lead batteries in traditional cars? " He asked, "Based on trust, many people believe that the batteries of traditional cars have been recycled. Why do they suspect that people don’t recycle when they arrive at low-speed electric vehicles?"

  Lu Hong, a standard member of Shandong Automobile Industry Association and chairman of Hupu Electric Appliance Co., Ltd., told the reporter that if each city can set up a recycling point, it will be beneficial to standardize the batch use of lead batteries for electric vehicles. "A battery can sell 200 yuan on average, and no one is willing to throw it."

  Wang Du, deputy secretary-general of china automobile dealers association, pointed out: "The problem is not pollution, but how to supervise it." It is understood that in Weifang, battery manufacturers Tianneng and Chaowei have set up more than ten recycling points and established a complete system. Zhang Tianren, chairman of Tianneng Group, said in an interview that the recycling technology of lead-acid batteries is very mature. At the end of last year, Tianneng Group’s recycling capacity of waste lead batteries has been upgraded from 150,000 tons/year to 300,000 tons/year, and the recycling capacity has doubled.

  Low-speed electric vehicles can also produce fine products.

  In January this year, committee of 100, an electric vehicle in China, held a closed-door meeting with some low-speed electric vehicle enterprises. The meeting put forward two viewpoints: First, low-speed electric vehicles can make rural areas directly electrified without the transition of fuel vehicles. Second, invigorating the rural economy is the re-liberation of rural productive forces.

  Some experts believe that there are buses, taxis, subways and drip taxis in big cities, but there are very few means of transportation in rural areas. Rural public transportation is also being carried out, but it is still inconvenient to have a few shifts a day. Because the use cost of cars is relatively high, gas stations are separated by ten or twenty kilometers, and fewer people buy cars in rural areas. "The advantages of low-speed electric vehicles are particularly obvious. Short-distance travel does not need to be particularly fast, which is of great help to the active rural economy. At the same time, rural charging is very convenient, and it can be completed with 220 volts at home. "

  The data shows that from 2014 to 2016, the average annual growth rate of low-speed electric vehicles reached more than 50%, and it was developed without any state subsidies. In the fourth-and fifth-tier cities and rural markets, low-speed electric vehicles with a price of about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan meet the consumption needs of low-income families.

  However, for a long time, low-speed electric vehicles were regarded as the "culprits" of many road jams and frequent safety accidents because of the reasons that the low-speed electric vehicles were not licensed, most users did not have driver’s licenses and drivers did not understand the traffic rules. In addition, the quality of low-speed electric vehicles has also become a controversy. "I have always believed that low speed and low price do not mean low quality, and low-speed electric vehicles should also find a good direction to upgrade." Shi Jianhua, deputy secretary general of China Automobile Industry Association, said in an interview.

  In fact, low-speed electric vehicles have gradually entered the industry upgrade in recent years. Among them, there are enterprises represented by Zhidou, which have entered the product catalogue of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology by means of alliance with high-speed car production enterprises and with the help of high-speed car production qualifications, and realized the regularization; In addition, there are also enterprises represented by Reading that introduce new technologies and upgrade themselves. In the new Redding factory in Weifang, Shandong, the reporter saw the same four processes as traditional vehicle manufacturing: stamping, welding, painting and final assembly. There are more than hundreds of robotic arms in the factory, and there are also professional quality inspection processes such as test track and rain detection line.

  At the same time, in order to solve a series of problems caused by "black households", low-speed electric vehicle enterprises have also upgraded their products and improved related after-sales services through industry self-discipline.

  "Although we are low-speed electric vehicles, it is really not low-quality at low speed." An insider of a low-speed electric vehicle company said, "Through interconnection technologies such as background data and optimized positioning, we helped customers find hundreds of lost cars. From the data of batteries and motors to the control system, all fault codes can be transmitted to the background, realizing the optimization of big data. It can be said that in many technologies, we are not worse than high-speed cars. "

  Due to the product upgrade, the supply chain of low-speed electric vehicles has also been upgraded accordingly, and its suppliers have gradually upgraded from the initial commercial vehicle suppliers to passenger vehicle suppliers. Because the quality of some low-speed electric vehicle enterprises has risen rapidly, some excellent suppliers have taken the initiative to come to the door, and the improvement of supply chain quality has further promoted the development of low-speed electric vehicles in the normal direction.

  Luo Lei, deputy secretary-general of china automobile dealers association, said: "The government should guide these car companies well and cannot sit idly by; It is necessary to lower the entry threshold and encourage more powerful enterprises to participate. Low-speed electric vehicles also need to improve their quality and meet the national quality requirements for new energy vehicle products, so that they have the opportunity to enter the urban consumer market.
