Not afraid of competition, why does BYD Han EV dare to "challenge" the high-end market of new energy?

China automobile brands have never given up on the impact on the high-end market. Especially in recent years, with the "Matthew effect" of the automobile market becoming more and more fierce, the leading independent brands have become more and more brave, and they have independently developed and established technical highlands to launch more competitive products in the market.

With the accumulation of sales volume, the market has proved that the high-end models launched by China brand will not lose joint venture models, whether it is Yan value power or configuration quality control. Among them, the most outstanding performance is undoubtedly Han, and the cumulative sales volume in one year has exceeded 100,000 units.

It is worth mentioning that in the past year, there were 1,127 models on sale in China, of which only 43 models sold more than 10,000 yuan a month. Among them, there are only 8 high-end cars with an overall price of more than 200,000 yuan, of which 4 models are C-class cars, which are,, and Han. In the case of chasing after the tigers, Han was able to stand firm in the market segment of medium and large C-class high-end cars, which gradually proved consumers’ recognition of independent high-end models.

Why does Han stand out from the encirclement?

In fact, there are many independent brands that introduce new models to the high-end market every year, and even some car companies spend a lot of money to invite world-class design and management teams, but few independent brands have successfully squeezed into the high-end market, but why did Han succeed?

Everyone who knows it knows that Wang Chuanfu’s ideas and ideas have always been very advanced. When most independent brands earned their heads off for fuel vehicles, they entered the new energy vehicle market more than ten years ago. It is also Wang Chuanfu’s advanced strategic vision that has been leading the rapid development to become the leader of new energy vehicles today.

Twenty years ago, it was impossible for people to imagine that a battery manufacturer had become the only leader in the field of new energy vehicles. As a car company that started with batteries, it is indeed at the forefront of independent car companies in the new energy vehicle market.

With the continuous investment in R&D and innovation, we have mastered the core technologies of the whole industrial chain of new energy vehicles, such as batteries, motors and electronic controls, and are the only car companies in the world with the core technologies of "Three Electricity", which cannot even be achieved. At the same time, in the current global chip shortage, it is also one of the few car companies that are not troubled by the chip shortage, because they can make chips themselves and do not need to rely on foreign imports.

It is also with strong technical strength as a support that its Hanergy has made great efforts in the new energy vehicle market and even begun to seize the market share of fuel vehicles. In July, the total sales volume was 56,975 vehicles, up 89.4% year-on-year and 14.5% quarter-on-quarter, setting a new brand sales record. Among them, the sales of new energy vehicles accounted for 87.85% of the total sales, which further increased compared with June, reaching 50,057 vehicles. As a representative of autonomous medium and large cars, Han also captured the perfect data of 8,522 cars in July, and in June, the cumulative sales volume exceeded 100,000 cars, which was fully recognized by consumers.

At present, the cumulative sales volume in the new energy market has already exceeded 1 million vehicles, making it the only car company in its own brand that has exceeded 1 million vehicles. From this series of sales data, it is not difficult to see that it has successfully changed from a fuel vehicle enterprise to a new energy vehicle enterprise.

Technical strength is the key to breakthrough.

The core technology is the survival of car companies. Knowing this truth, in the past two years, the research and development of new technologies has constantly subverted the outside world’s perception of the industry. From last year’s "blade battery" to this year’s DM-i super hybrid technology, the advent of each new technology has brought subversive effects.

Chairman Wang Chuanfu once said, "Safety is the greatest luxury of electric vehicles". As one of the core components of electric vehicles, the safety of batteries largely determines the safety performance of electric vehicles. The emergence of "blade batteries" has raised the safety of batteries to a new height, and at the same time, it has made Han stand out in the highly competitive automobile market.

As we all know, the traditional power battery produces the battery core in the form of winding, while the "blade battery" adopts the lamination process. Compared with winding structure, laminated structure has more uniform current density, excellent internal heat dissipation performance and is more suitable for high power discharge. This is like a box of the same size, one full of ping-pong balls and the other full of straightedge. We can easily imagine the help of lamination technology to space utilization. Therefore, the blade battery has better cycle characteristics, safety characteristics and energy density.

Among more than 300 safety tests of power batteries, acupuncture test is recognized as the most demanding test, which can be called the "Everest" of battery safety test.

The acupuncture test removes all the outer garments of publicity packaging, so that the true safety of the battery is naked in front of consumers. No one wants an unstable and explosive battery sitting under his ass. Blade battery became famous by acupuncture test in World War I, and its natural safety skill was promoted to a unique position through the acquired technological blessing.

Self-cultivation of flagship models

It has been a year since Han went public. After nearly a year’s investigation, Han did hand over an answer sheet worthy of the flagship model.

However, with the intensification of competition in the automobile market, the range of consumers’ choices has gradually expanded, so while digging deep into demand, they are also constantly striving to meet the consumption upgrade. For example, the newly listed 2021 Han EV standard endurance luxury model, compared with the 2020 Han EV ultra-long endurance luxury model, only reduces the battery capacity, and other configurations have not changed, but the price has dropped by 20,000 yuan, which is enough to be seen, bringing consumers unexpected product value and charm.

From the perspective of positioning and selling price, the direct competitor of Han EV is undoubtedly that the listing of the 2021 standard endurance luxury version of Han EV has not caused much pressure, because the comprehensive strength ratio of Han EV is better.

From the price point of view, the price of the 2021 Han EV standard endurance luxury model after subsidy is only 209,800 yuan, but the comprehensive cruising range can reach 506km;; The starting price after subsidy is 235,900 yuan, which is not only 26,100 yuan higher, but also the comprehensive cruising range is only 468km.

In terms of charging time, even if it is fast charging, it takes 1 hour to wait, while the fast charging time of the 2021 Han EV standard battery life version is only 0.42 hours, which is about 25 minutes. In other words, compared with Han EV, it not only runs farther, but also has a shorter waiting time for charging, which is especially critical for pure electric vehicles. Another point that has to be mentioned is that the safety in China is well known to all, and consumers have their own opinions on who is safer between the two.

Faced with the continuous price reduction, from the new forces of car-making to traditional car companies, most of them avoid their sharp edges and do not confront them head-on, while Han EV chooses positive hard steel, which is undoubtedly supported by strong technical strength.

Write at the end:

As a well-deserved leader of independent new energy vehicles, the road to transformation is not easy. Behind this is decades of technical research, which gives you a proud technical idea and a competitive capital.

The launch of the 2021 Chinese EV standard endurance luxury car further extends the benchmark product advantage of the Chinese EV industry to the market segment of 200,000+mid-to-high-end pure electric cars, and demonstrates the strength and confidence of China New Energy flagship car to continue to lead the market.

Huawei P70 Series Price Exposure

  Huawei usually releases new P-series machines in the spring, and it’s the P70 series this year. According to mobile phone China, Huawei P70 series has a lot of news on the Internet, but not much about the price. Some digital bloggers recently broke the news that the price of Huawei P70 series may be similar to that of Mate60 series.

  Huawei P70 series imaginary map

  Recently, a blogger wrote that what is the price of Huawei P70 series? Refer to the Mate60 series, which is not bad. In the comment area, some netizens suspected of pollen said that the P70 series would be cheaper than the Mate60 series, while bloggers replied that it was "not much cheaper", which seemed to confirm the speculation that the P70 series was relatively cheaper. In addition, some netizens asked whether Huawei P70 series will continue the color scheme of Rococo White, while bloggers said that P70 series has white, but it is not necessarily Rococo White.

  Let’s review the price of Huawei Mate60 series:

  Huawei Mate 60 RS extraordinary master-16GB+512GB 11999 yuan; 16GB+1TB 12999 yuan

  According to the blogger’s news, the starting price of Huawei P70 series should be less than 5499 yuan. In addition, the starting price of Huawei P60 series is 4488 yuan, so the starting price of P70 series can be expected.

"online celebrity Live" was arrested on the spot with goods. The police arrested several criminal gangs that manufacture and sell counterfeit and infringing goods.

CCTV News:In August of this year, a video of an online cargo anchor stopped by the police during the live broadcast was circulated on the Internet. The video was only 30 seconds long, but it attracted a lot of netizens’ attention, and they speculated why the anchor was taken away by the police during the live broadcast. Recently, the Shanghai police confirmed that this video took place in an arrest operation by the police in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. At that time, the network anchor and his operation team were conducting a live webcast to bring goods, and they were selling counterfeit and infringing goods.

Shanghai police confirmed to reporters that this video took place in an arrest operation in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on August 28. This live broadcast room belongs to a live broadcast anchor named Silent M07. At that time, she was broadcasting live with her operation team. With the stunned expression of the anchor and the appearance of plainclothes policemen, the whole live broadcast came to an abrupt end, and this scene also shocked hundreds of thousands of netizens who were watching the live broadcast.

On the spot, the police controlled 7 people, in addition to the anchor with the goods, there are alsoFourStaff of the operation team and two staff of the supplier. A large number of goods, such as clothing, shoes and hats, jewelry and watches, were also seized at the scene, which was the reason for this action. 

More than 50 people were arrested in 8 dens for manufacturing and selling counterfeit goods.

Not only that, but at the same time, multi-channel police launched operations in Zhejiang and Guangdong. According to the police, the goal of this operation is to crack down on criminal gangs that manufacture and sell counterfeit goods. During the operation, more than 50 criminal suspects were arrested, 8 dens were investigated, and more than 3,000 counterfeit luxury brands’ bags, clothing and other commodities were seized on the spot.

Knowing the fake and selling fake "online celebrity" anchor has become a sales promoter.

Recently, the Shanghai police announced the latest development of the case. Of the more than 50 suspects arrested at present, 41 have been arrested by the procuratorate, and the case is under further investigation. Then, how did this anchor with a million fans go to the road of knowing fakes and selling fakes, and how did it attract the attention of the police? During the investigation, the police found that the anchor tried every means to avoid the brand of the goods he sold in the live broadcast. All indications showed that the anchor and members of the live broadcast team knew that a large number of goods they sold were counterfeit and infringing goods.

So who is this anchor who was taken away? According to the police, the anchor network is named Silent M07, whose real name is Liao, and he is 27 years old this year. In 2017, she signed a contract with a brokerage company to become an online shopping anchor, and began to open a live broadcast room on a well-known e-commerce platform, specializing in women’s wear and accessories. Due to his professional experience as a graphic model, Liao accumulated millions of fans in just three years and became a "head anchor".

There are a lot of abnormal phenomena in the live broadcast that attract the attention of the police.

As one of the many anchors with goods, why do the police pay so much attention to Liao’s live broadcast? Things have to start from May this year. This year, affected by the epidemic, the online shopping form of live broadcast with goods is increasingly recognized by netizens, but there are a lot of unusual phenomena in Liao’s live broadcast.

During the police investigation, it was found that Liao lived for nearly seven or eight hours every day, sometimes as long as 10 hours, and lived almost every day all year round. In the long-term live broadcast, there are often some clothes, jewelry, watches, etc. suspected to be well-known luxury brands. However, Liao never clearly stated the brand of the goods in the live broadcast room, and also blocked the trademarks on the goods.

Deliberately compare the counter price when displaying fake goods.

At the same time, when she shows the goods, she often takes out the genuine counter price as a comparison. Some luxury goods that cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands are only one-tenth or even lower when she broadcasts live, so as to attract consumers to buy. 

Not only that, the brand logo will be covered in all the links of goods suspected of infringement. At the same time, the police found that all the live broadcast pages would be hung with the words "download, delete and play back, keep up with the rhythm", which is very different from the practice of retaining playback in the general live broadcast room.

Unscrupulous merchants use "online celebrity Live" to increase the sales of fake goods.

Because of the strong ability to bring goods, fake merchants have asked Liao to bring goods. Merchants come here, and Liao’s team accepts all the orders, and the business is getting bigger and wider. 

The police investigation found that the fakes recommended by Liao’s live broadcast came from different businesses. Because the traditional online shopping platform has made great efforts to investigate and deal with counterfeit and infringing goods, in order to expand its sales,business operatorI met Liao’s live broadcast team through an intermediary introduction.

The words "a little better" in the mouth of merchants are very implicit. Usually, the prices of their goods are close to genuine prices, and no one cares at all, but they are enthusiastically sought after by fans in the live broadcast room.

The fake merchants with high commission also provide extra appearance fees.

Selling fake goods not only brings huge commission income to Liao’s team, but also provides an extra appearance fee for the fake merchants. Under the temptation of dual interests, Liao’s live broadcast room began to become a popular channel for the sale of counterfeit goods. Police investigations found that nearly 30 of the hundreds of businesses that cooperated with Liao were suspected of selling counterfeit luxury goods.

Many fake merchants have come to the door to ask for goods, and Liao also accepted them according to the order. At the same time, the live broadcast platform is not supervised, and the brokerage company never asks questions, which has become a hotbed for illegal crimes.

In the first three quarters, there were 21,900 complaints related to live broadcast. 

Not long ago, the statistics of the first three quarters of 2020 of the national 12315 platform released by the State Administration of Market Supervision showed that. In the first three quarters of this year, complaints about online shopping accounted for 31.85% of the total number of complaints and reports, and a total of 21,900 complaints and reports related to live broadcast were received, up 479.60% year-on-year, and live broadcast claims accounted for nearly 60%. The demands related to live broadcast mainly focus on jewelry, clothing, shoes and hats, household items and so on. Immediately the annual "Double Eleven""Is coming, how to make the live broadcast bring benefits and convenience to buyers, but also more reassuring, which is an urgent problem for live broadcast platforms, online shopping platforms, merchants and anchors.

An Old Fisherman Wang Chaosheng’s "Landing"

  Xinhua News Agency, Guiyang, January 23rd Title: Old fisherman Wang Chaosheng’s "Landing"

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Jun, wu si

  This Spring Festival, Lao Wang is very busy. During this time, a new batch of fry was put into his fish pond, and every detail was careless.

  Lao Wang’s name is Wang Chaosheng. He is 60 years old. He lives in xiazhai village, Tangtou Town, Sinan County, Guizhou Province. He started fishing in his early 30s and retired to shore at the age of 57. After landing, Wang Chaosheng rented more than 10 mu of land to build pond culture, and raised it for 3 years, which brought good benefits and started a new life.

  Wujiang River is the largest tributary of the south bank of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which flows through 13 of the 28 townships in Sinan County. In order to strictly implement the 10-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River, the local fishery department has repeatedly gone deep into the two sides of the strait to do ideological work for fishermen. Old fishermen like Wang Chaosheng bid farewell to fishing life in succession. Since 2019, 121 fishermen in Sinan County have been arrested and landed.

  The fisherman’s understanding card posted on the wall of Wang Chaosheng’s house. Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Junshe

  Wang Chaosheng used to fish and earned a considerable income. He has fishing license, crew certificate, fishing boat registration certificate and other procedures. During the slack season, he opened a fishing boat and installed a few nets, and started a "sideline business" in Wujiang.

  "Growing crops is the main business, but the bulk of family income is still fishing ‘ Sideline ’ 。” Wang Chaosheng said that when he was young, he earned 300,000 to 400,000 yuan in the most year, and earned 10,000 yuan in the most day.

  Wang Chaosheng is a good fisherman. The wind is high and the waves are urgent. Day and night, he and his wife have been safe for decades. He swam around the river with a width of five or six hundred meters, not to mention. If the amount of wild fish salvaged is not large, it will be robbed at home. If the fishing boat comes home with a full load, he will pull it to towns and counties.

  Wang Chaosheng misses fishing. However, he also figured it out about retreating to shore. On the one hand, support the ecological protection policy; On the other hand, after landing, family income is relatively stable.

  "I used to fish, but now I raise fish. I’m still at my old job!" Wang Chaosheng told reporters with a smile. Now, fish farming earns more than 100,000 yuan a year, so Wujiang River can recuperate and the ecological protection of the river basin has been strengthened.

  Today, Wang Chaosheng feeds forage in the fish pond every morning and evening. Watching the mountain spring flow into the fish pond, the big fish churned up and down, and he was full of energy. Grass carp, catfish and other four or five varieties, the big 14 or 15 Jin, the unit price from 10 yuan to 50 yuan, three fish ponds, there is no shortage of sales.

  "Mountain spring water, ecological fish, good quality!" Wang Chaosheng was destined to become attached to fish in this life. At the entrance of the mountain spring flowing into the fish pond, he specially took pebbles and river sand from the river to create a natural living environment for the fish. He planted sweet sorghum and ryegrass with bait to make the fish’s food more original.

  Because of the good quality of fish, Wang Chaosheng’s fish pond attracted some fishing enthusiasts. There is no charge for fishing, just buy the hooked fish at the actual price. Now, his breeding technology is more refined and his output is increasing year by year.

  In order to ensure the sustainable benefit of ecological fish farming, technicians from county and township fisheries departments often go to the village to give guidance, feed, change water and prevent diseases. They help Wang Chaosheng to move forward continuously.

The new rules are coming! The two departments issued opinions to encourage the development of shared cars.

  CCTV News:The Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development have issued new regulations to encourage the use of new energy vehicles to carry out time-sharing and encourage time-sharing operators to adopt credit model instead of deposit management.

  The Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of Minibus Rental formulated by the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development was officially promulgated today. The Guiding Opinions includes 5 parts and 13 articles, including general requirements, laying a solid foundation for safety management, improving service capacity, encouraging time-sharing development and creating a good development environment.

  It is understood that from June 1 to 14, the Ministry of Communications publicly solicited opinions on the Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of the Car Rental Industry. According to the suggestions, the Guiding Opinions were revised and improved: the scope of application was limited to the lease of minibuses; Enriched the relevant requirements of anti-terrorism prevention and added the contents of "maintaining public safety"; At the same time, the new format of time-sharing lease is standardized and managed.

  What is a minibus??

  Minibus refers to a minibus with seven seats or less. The "Guiding Opinions" clearlySmall minibus leaseIt refers to the operation mode that the minibus leasing operator delivers the minibus to the lessee for use within the agreed time, collects the leasing fee and does not provide driving services.

  According to the Ministry of Communications, there are currently more than 6,300 car rental operators in China.The total number of leased vehicles is about 200,000.The market scale is growing at an annual rate of about 20%. but92.7% of car rental enterprises in China own less than 50 vehicles.It is difficult to implement network operation and form economies of scale.

  In addition to insufficient service capacity,At present, there are no new laws and regulations for the car rental industry at the national level.. At the local level, only four provinces (cities) such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Shanxi have issued special local regulations on car rental, while another 21 provinces only involve one or two principled provisions in the Road Transport Regulations and other relevant local regulations, while six provinces such as Tianjin, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Hainan and Qinghai have not yet issued laws and regulations on car rental.

  For the sake of vehicle insurance, scrapping and second-hand salvage value,At present, about 95% vehicles in the car rental market are registered as non-operating vehicles.As a result, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of vehicles, and users cannot get insurance compensation in case of traffic accidents.

  In order to ensure the safety performance of leased vehicles and the legitimate rights and interests of users, the Guiding Opinions put forward requirements such as standardizing the management of leased vehicles and implementing the inspection system in real-name registration system. Rental vehicles shall be in accordance with relevant laws, regulations and technical standards.Go to the public security organ for registration., and in accordance with relevant regulations, carry out safety technical inspection, environmental inspection and scrapping of vehicles. Insure compulsory insurance and third party liability insurance according to the insurance rate corresponding to the registered nature of use.

  To implement the identification system, minibus rental operators should have the facilities and equipment needed for identification and check the valid documents provided by the lessee.

  Highlights of the new regulations ②: Encourage time-sharing of new energy vehicles.

  In order to encourage the development of the new format of time-sharing lease, the Guiding Opinions proposes to consider the characteristics of time-sharing lease in non-intensive travel, reasonably determine the positioning of time-sharing lease in the urban comprehensive transportation system, and study and establish a vehicle delivery mechanism that is suitable for public travel needs, urban road resources and parking resources.

  Time-sharing operators should improve their online and offline service capabilities, strengthen the intelligent organization and deployment of vehicles, and ensure the good safety of vehicles through daily inspections and self-inspection of vehicles by operators. Operators should adopt safe and compliant payment and settlement services to ensure the safety of users’ deposits and funds, and encourage the use of credit mode instead of deposit management.

  This paper puts forward some support policies, such as encouraging public parking lots in crowded areas to provide convenience for parking time-sharing vehicles and exploring on-street parking concessions in cities. Encourage the use of new energy vehicles to carry out time-sharing leasing.

  Highlights of new regulations ③: Promote the construction of parking spots in densely populated areas.

  In order to improve the service ability of the industry, the Guiding Opinions put forward specific requirements from the aspects of infrastructure planning and construction and daily operation and management of operators. According to the local economic and social development and residents’ travel needs, it is required to formulate a development plan for minibus rental, and incorporate it into the comprehensive transportation system planning and urban comprehensive transportation system planning, strengthen the transfer connection between minibus rental and different modes of transportation, and promote the construction of transportation hub business outlets such as airports, railway stations, bus stations and ports, as well as parking stations in densely populated areas.

  Encourage operators to use new technologies and new means to strengthen daily management and improve the convenience of car rental. Operators should improve network security protection measures and collect, store, use and protect personal information in compliance with laws and regulations. Strengthen the linkage between upstream and downstream industries and related industries, and promote the scale, networking and brand development of the industry.

  List of other highlights

  In addition, in order to further create a good development environment for the industry, the Guiding Opinions also put forward the requirements of accelerating the construction of system standards and promoting the resolution of outstanding problems such as illegal road traffic disposal of leased vehicles and fraud of leased vehicles. Accelerate the construction of credit system, establish a credit evaluation system for lease operators and lessees, and build a cross-departmental and cross-regional joint incentive and punishment mechanism.

  The Guiding Opinions require that local transportation departments should formulate supporting policies, measures and implementation plans.

  On August 2, the Ministry of Transport and other 10 departments jointly issued the draft of "Guiding Opinions on Encouraging and Regulating the Development of Internet Rental Bicycles", which clearly pointed out that the development of Internet rental electric bicycles is not encouraged.

  Li Jiangping, inspector of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said that such regulations mainly consider that vehicles generally exceed the standard and do not meet the standard requirements of the General Technical Conditions for Electric Bicycles; Prone to traffic accidents; Fire safety hazards are prominent; High risk of vehicle operation safety; In addition, the battery pollution problem is serious.

The new technology of lithium battery or M9, with higher safety and longer service life.

With the approaching of the listing date of M9, more and more information is exposed. Recently, a person close to the supply chain revealed that the innovative composite current collector of lithium battery is expected to be applied in the M9.

The composite current collector is a sandwich structure of "metal -PET/PP polymer material-metal", which replaces the original pure metal foil. It has the application advantages of high safety, long life, high energy density and low raw material cost, and is expected to replace the traditional current collector and become the mainstream material of lithium battery current collector in the future.

Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an released magazine battery 2.0, which is the first battery in China to announce the adoption of composite current collector. The first model is Haoplatinum GT. At the launch conference of the car, Ai ‘an also announced the test report of the bullet shooting fully charged battery pack. The results showed that the bullet penetrated three batteries, which caused the battery pack to be short-circuited and burst in an instant, but the battery pack just smoked and did not catch fire, and the temperature dropped to room temperature after standing for 24 hours.

In addition, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited Kirin battery has adopted a composite current collector, which is mounted on pure electric MPV Krypton 009.

According to the research report of CITIC Jiantou, the composite current collector is both safe and economical, which is a major innovation in lithium batteries. In 2023, the industrial trend has gradually become clear and accelerated significantly, and equipment manufacturers, new copper foil factories, battery factories and end users have accelerated their layout; At the same time, the technology continues to break through, promoting the composite current collector to mass production, and 2023 is expected to become the first year of mass production.

[Comprehensive News]Christian Hall (Chinese name: Chen Zhibo), a 19-year-old Chinese youth in Pennsylvania, was shot and killed by state police in December last year. At present, it has been ruled as a legitimate reason (legal) by DA in Monroe County, Pennsylvania.

On December 30th, someone called 911 anonymously, and the anonymous caller was Hall himself. The police rushed to the scene on I-80 and found Hall standing on top of the concrete safety barrier. After some continuous twists and turns, Hall then took the gun (an air gun like a pistol) from his waist and took a step towards the police. Then a police officer fired several shots, but missed Hall.

You can see that Hall raised his arm to the side, turned the weapon to the side, and turned the barrel to aim at his head. At this time, it was the critical moment when the police decided to shoot him.

The police said: "Because Hall’s behavior caused a potential threat of death or injury, in this case, it is legal for Pennsylvania police to use deadly force against Hall."

The Monroe County District Attorney said they didn’t think the police were at fault, and they wanted to make sure Hall’s family didn’t blame themselves for it. The prosecution said that Pennsylvania law does not require suspects to fire at the police. Hall (Chen Zhibo) used an air gun to force the police to shoot, which is a common "suicide by cop" behavior.

Production capacity may be limited in the third quarter. How long can LI’s growth story be told?

Wen | Buer Research Institute Yi Xin Zi Qing

Following the price reduction of Tesla at the beginning of the year, in August this year, new energy vehicles once again set off a new wave of price reduction. Brand officials, such as Zero Run and Weilai, announced the price reduction, and the ideal was to "reduce the price in disguise" by releasing new cars.

On August 8th, LI (02015.HK) announced the second quarterly report of 2023. Although the net profit of the second quarter increased, its share price showed the opposite trend.

On the day of the financial report, its US stock price closed down by 8.62%; The next day (August 9), Hong Kong stocks closed down 5.52%.

As of August 14th, LI closed at HK$ 160.90 per share, corresponding to a market value of HK$ 335.4 billion (about RMB 311.1 billion).

According to the latest data released by Ideal, its delivery volume in the second quarter reached 86,533 vehicles, up 201.6% year-on-year and 65% quarter-on-quarter. In July, the delivery volume was 34,134 vehicles, up 227.5% year-on-year and only 4.7% quarter-on-quarter.

According to the announcement of LI, it is estimated that the delivery volume in the third quarter is only 100,000-103,000, equivalent to 33,000-34,500 vehicles per month. Based on this data, it is speculated that the growth of ideal monthly delivery volume may stagnate.

According to its second quarterly report, "Buer Research" found that in the second quarter of this year, LI’s revenue was 28.65 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 228.1%; The net profit was 2.31 billion yuan, turning losses into profits year-on-year, up 147.4% from the previous month.

In the second quarterly report, the ideal revenue doubled, but the strategy of re-marketing may continue. The R&D expenditure in the ideal second quarter was 2.43 billion yuan, up 58.4% year-on-year and 31% quarter-on-quarter. Sales, general and management expenses were 2.32 billion yuan, up 74.3% year-on-year and 40.4% quarter-on-quarter.

At present, LI’s production capacity is limited to 8,000 vehicles per week, and the production capacity of parts suppliers has fallen into a bottleneck, which is also a challenge it faces in the second half of the year.

According to the financial report meeting in the second quarter, due to the development of economic situation and the upgrading of enterprise organization matrix at the beginning of the year, it is ideal to lower the planned annual sales target of 360,000 vehicles to 300,000 vehicles.

Today, the new energy vehicle has entered the second half, and the industry volume has been intensified; Although LI turned losses into profits year-on-year, how long can the story of its profitability be sustained and increased?

In March of this year, the new forces of building cars suffered a double crit.

The first crit comes from the continuous price reduction war of peer TSLA, and the second crit is the government-enterprise subsidy jointly initiated by Hubei Dongfeng. The fuel vehicle market is "chaotic", which makes new energy vehicles suffer crit.

As one of the Three Musketeers, a new force in car-making, LI has previously published the 2022 annual report and the first quarterly report in 2023. Although the revenue in 2022 has achieved substantial growth, it is still at a loss.

According to its financial report, "Buer Research" found that in 2022, LI’s revenue was 45.29 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 67.7%; In the same period, its net loss was 2.03 billion yuan, up 531.42% year-on-year, making it the most serious year since the listing of US stocks in 2020.

Among them, the ideal automobile sales revenue in 2022 is 44.106 billion yuan, accounting for 97.39% of the total revenue. According to "Buer Research", due to the increase in R&D investment and rising operating costs in 2022, the automobile sales revenue failed to catch up, which led to the further expansion of LI’s net loss.

Under the new energy automobile track, it still takes time to accumulate and reserve funds to transform R&D investment into automobile production capacity.

Although the capital reserve has been expanded after the dual listing, more and more car-making competitors and intensified competition in sub-sectors seem to be shortening the ideal "new" time window.

01 landing in Normandy

In 2015, after leaving office in car home, Li wanted to start a business again, aiming at the field of new energy vehicles. At that time, Tesla was in the limelight, and many Tesla "fans" emerged in China.

Source: LI founder-Li Xiang-LI Guan Wei

Since then, Li Xiang’s brand ideal of new energy vehicles has stood out, and he, together with Weilai Automobile and Xpeng Motors, has been called "Three Musketeers".

In 2019, when the ideal first car, Li ONE, was officially launched, Li Xiang said frankly, "I have been in business for 20 years, and today is my most nervous day, and it is also the Normandy landing day of the company".

In July 2020, above the new energy outlet, it was ideal to land on Nasdaq in the United States, and the IPO was priced at $11.5 per share, with the highest increase of more than 50% on the first day of opening.

On August 12, 2021, LI landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the second new car-making force to achieve dual listing in Hong Kong stocks after Xpeng Motors.

Although the new energy outlet is still there, the competition of the Three Musketeers, a new force to build cars, is intensifying. Compared with the increasingly full product matrix of Weilai and Tucki, the outside world is quite worried about the ideal car-making pace: the 2020 Li ONE that landed in Normandy has been sold for nearly three years, and the ideal finally got the new 2021 Li ONE.

According to the ideal quarterly report in 2023, its total revenue in the first quarter was 18.79 billion yuan, up 96.5% year-on-year and 6.4% quarter-on-quarter. In the same period, the net profit was 934 million yuan, turning losses into profits. In addition, the ideal annual gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2023 is still declining.

According to "Buer Research", the ideal main revenue source is vehicle sales, and its vehicle sales revenue in the first quarter of 2023 was 18.33 billion yuan, accounting for 97.55% of the total revenue.

The increase in sales revenue in LI is mainly due to the increase in delivery volume in the first quarter and the increase in the average selling price of ideal L series models. In addition, the revenue and delivery have been greatly improved, which has also enabled LI to turn losses into profits.

Entrepreneurship means choosing the path of extended-range technology and relying on an extended-range electric vehicle to conquer the world. The ideal can be described as a different kind among the three musketeers, a new force in building cars. However, the increasingly strict policy supervision is like the sword of Damocles hanging overhead, and it is ideal to make up for the autopilot technology.

Li Xiang once said frankly, "In terms of autonomous driving, compared with Tesla and Tucki, we have to make up lessons." According to the plan, this year’s ideal research and development is continuously invested; In the first quarter, its R&D expenditure was 1.85 billion yuan, up 34.8% year-on-year; In the second quarter, its R&D expenditure was 2.43 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 58.4%.

When the market structure of the new force of car-making is initially determined, the competition of new energy vehicles has entered the second half: the sales and mass production targets of 280,000-300,000 vehicles, and the fierce competition of autonomous driving technology.

As a supporter of the "10,000-hour Law", Li Xiang once wrote in Weibo, "I have trained more than 60,000 hours in the automobile industry since 2004, and I am more confident in my major".

It seems that the capital market that votes with its feet is not satisfied with Li Xiang’s "10,000-hour law".

By comparing the PE value (P/E ratio) and the PB value (P/B ratio) of the Three Musketeers, a new car-making force, it was found that by the close of the US stock market on August 12th, EDT, except LI, the PE values of the new car-making force were all negative, with the PB values of Tucki 2.81, Ideal 6.23 and Weilai 7.63 in turn, while the PB value of Tesla was 15.06.

Among the three musketeers, the ideal PB value ranks second, which is about 1/10 of Tesla PB value. The higher the PB value, the higher the valuation of enterprises in the capital market.

As of August 12th, EST, the US stock market closed, with an ideal market value of $42.18 billion, while Tesla’s market value has passed the $700 billion mark.

02 on the new speed.

On May 25th, 2021, Ideality released the 2021 Li ONE in Beijing, which was different from the enthusiastic conference site. The capital market reacted coldly and fell immediately after the opening of the day. Only one day later, it is ideal to announce the financial report for the first quarter of 2021, from profit to loss.

"Li Xiang, you owe an explanation to the owner who picked up the car in April and May." After the release of the 2021 Li ONE, Li Xiang’s Weibo was overwhelmed by the owner’s doubts.

According to the ideal plan, after the production and sales of the 2021 Li ONE model begin, the production of the 2020 model will stop. The car owner who just bought the old model of Li ONE soon felt that he had been "cleared of inventory" by routine. Although it is ideal to provide four paid upgrade schemes for old car owners, it still cannot satisfy the skeptics.

In August of the same year, a similar scene was once again staged in the ideal riders group: the prospectus revealed that the ideal will launch a new full-size SUV in 2022, and compared with the existing products, the size, hardware and intelligent configuration have been improved in many aspects.

Source: LI Guanwei

To some extent, the rapid iteration of new energy vehicles is accelerating the depreciation of the value of the previous generation models. Anxiety, confrontation and other emotions spread between riders waiting for a full-size new car and owners who have already picked up the car.

According to "Buer Research", the innovative technology of new energy vehicles is both a spear and a shield. Compared with traditional cars, the product cycle of new energy vehicles is shorter; How to balance customer perception and product iteration has also become an ideal test.

However, the other side of the coin is the risk brought by the thin product line, and any fluctuation in Li ONE may trigger a chain reaction.

In order to change this situation, it is ideal to replace Li ONE with L8 and L9 from the second half of 2022.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the ideal delivery volume was 46,319 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 31.5%; In the same period, Weilai and Tucki delivered 40,052 vehicles and 22,204 vehicles respectively, both of which increased year-on-year.

By the end of 2022, it is ideal to deliver 133,246 vehicles throughout the year, up 47.2% year-on-year; Although it did not reach the expected goal of LI, it was slightly ahead of Weilai Automobile’s 122,486 vehicles and Xpeng Motors’s 120,757 vehicles in terms of the number of deliveries in 2022.

By the end of January this year, LI’s monthly sales even exceeded the combined monthly sales of Weilai Automobile and Xpeng Motors.

In the first quarter of this year, the ideal delivery volume was 52,584 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 65.8%; The deliveries of Weilai and Tucki in the same period were 31,041 and 18,230 respectively.

The outbreak of black swan is only a small probability event. If compared with the same industry, to some extent, the large data fluctuation of ideal sales revenue is related to its single product structure.

In the view of "Buer Research", in the early stage of starting a business, the 2020 Li ONE solo combat can unite all the superior resources; However, due to the lack of product matrix, ideal is losing its position in the price range, and it is easy to fall into the situation of weak subsequent growth.

Expanding the product matrix is imminent. On August 3 this year, it officially launched the ideal L9 Pro. According to the ideal plan, it is expected to launch the first pure electric vehicle MEGA; by the end of 2023. And in 2024, four new cars will be released, including an extended-range SUV and three pure electric models.

It is not easy to "upgrade" new energy vehicles, and R&D investment is similar to "arms race"; Only from the number of patents and invention patents in 2020, the ideal is relatively backward.

Intelligent driving is the focus of LI’s current layout. This year, the ideal plan is to land the "NOA" function in 100 cities.

At present, LI has successfully opened the urban NOA internal test in Shanghai and Beijing, and completed the first test drive of urban NOA and commuter NOA in Beijing. It is expected that in the third quarter, Ideal will also open the commuting NOA function to "early bird users".

In the view of "Buer Research", when the potential of new energy vehicle track is highlighted, attracting many car-making forces to enter the market, the competition in market segments will become more intense.

Regardless of the technical path, ideally, the time window of the new product matrix is limited, and it is urgent to find a balance between iterative novelty and customer perception.

03 Flag of Li Xiang

In February 2021, Li Xiang said in an internal letter that by 2025, it is ideal to win 20% of the market share and become the first intelligent electric vehicle enterprise in China; In 2030, it will go further and become the first intelligent electric vehicle enterprise in the world.

In the second quarter of this year, Li Xiang set a new Flag: the ideal total sales this year will exceed the target at the beginning of the year by 10%-20%. The ideal target at the beginning of the year is annual sales of 306,000 vehicles, and the adjusted sales volume is expected to be 336,000-366,000 vehicles.

According to the latest data released by Ideal, its delivery volume in the second quarter reached 86,533 vehicles, up 201.6% year-on-year and 65% quarter-on-quarter. And delivered 34,134 vehicles in July.

In terms of production capacity closely related to the delivery volume, the "Buer Research" found that the annual production capacity of the ideal Changzhou factory in 2020 will be about 100,000 vehicles, and the annual production capacity of the factory will increase to 200,000 vehicles after upgrading.

After the release of Q3 financial report in 2022, Shen Yanan, the ideal co-founder and president, announced his resignation. He helped LI choose to build his own factory in Changzhou. This adjustment is regarded as a large-scale change since the establishment of Ideal.

At the ideal second-quarter financial report meeting on August 8, Li Xiang said that at present, due to the influence of supplier supply, the production capacity is in a bottleneck.

Earlier, there were media reports that Ideality was contacting Beijing Hyundai and hoped to receive its first factory that had stopped production. At present, the Beijing base is expected to be officially put into production at the end of this year. In addition, it is reported that the production plan of the ideal third factory, Chongqing production base, has stopped.

According to "Buer Research", if we want to achieve production and sales of 1.6 million vehicles in 2025, we need a strong production capacity reserve. The only Changzhou factory and Beijing factory may not have enough production capacity to carry their delivery demand, so the construction of new factories is imminent.

Previously, compared with the other two new car-making forces, the ideal offline layout was not dominant and is currently accelerating.

By June 30, 2023, LI had operated 331 retail stores covering 127 cities. In addition, LI operates 323 after-sales maintenance centers and authorized car body and painting centers in 223 cities.

When Internet companies such as Baidu and Xiaomi went off to build cars one after another, the war of new energy vehicles intensified. Regarding the cross-border showstopper, Li wants to speak frankly about the car, saying that the car sales can’t be faked, and the final development depends on the final product.

Although LI is speeding up its running, will Li Xiang’s Flag fall down under many skinny realities?

"Ideal" meets the cold reality

Although the ideal delivery volume since 2023 has been leading the new domestic car-making forces, LI still considers 2023 as "Alexander". In particular, the head car companies headed by Tesla started a price war, which caught the industry off guard.

However, as a "hardware for traffic portal, software for charging service", Tesla model seems to bring new imagination space for new energy vehicles.

When the income of Tucki XPILOT software and Weilai NIOPILOT software increased, Li Xiang declared: "The new Li ONE autopilot is standard, and the future ideal will not charge for autopilot".

"With the development of smart cars, there will be more and more usage scenarios for users and more and more business models." Li wants to put his hopes on another possibility of business model innovation, but it needs to be built on the basis of ownership.

Che Gewana once said, let’s be loyal to our ideals and face reality. On the increasingly crowded track, Li wants to be loyal to his ideals, but he also needs to face reality: the day after tomorrow of new energy vehicles is beautiful, and today is very difficult. The key is whether he can survive tomorrow.

Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving system: making driving safer and making intelligent driving more comfortable.

   "AITO asked the M5 Smart Driving Edition to give me a big surprise. The experience it brought me in terms of intelligence is indeed industry-leading." After the test ride, Zhu Jun Orange, the owner of M7, said so.

  A few days ago, the first AITO Wenjie M5 series car equipped with Huawei ADS2.0 advanced intelligent driving system and HarmonyOS Intelligent Cockpit 3.0 opened a test ride experience in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, which was also the first appearance of the car in Chongqing. Many consumers went to experience the new driving experience brought by Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving system, and the scene was very popular.

  Chongqing is often called "8D Magic City" by netizens because of its complicated roads. He You, the owner of M5EV, mentioned that drivers who can drive in Chongqing can drive all over the country, and the intelligent driving system that can withstand the road test in Chongqing must be relatively mature. Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving system equipped with AITO’s M5 Intelligent Driving Edition has performed well in the trial ride in Chongqing.

  It is understood that the trial route starts from chongqing heaven and earth, starts along Jiabin Road, passes Huacun Interchange, Jiahua Bridge and Lijiaping Interchange, and finally returns to chongqing heaven and earth. This line is located in the center of Chongqing, and there are endless traffic all day, including tunnels and many viaducts with complicated routes.

  During the test ride, Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving system always finds the right driving lane automatically according to navigation and road conditions under safe conditions, and actively seeks opportunities to enter. This broke the past cognition of many consumers on the scene about intelligent driving system, and broke their concerns about intelligent driving extending commuting time. "The intelligent driving system I used to know will always take the initiative to avoid it for safety," He You said. "But it is very flexible and will actively look for opportunities to change lanes and overtake."

  Zhao Xinglin, the owner of Wujie M5, started the live broadcast when he tried to ride the AITO Wujie M5 version, and shared his driving experience with the riders who could not come to the scene. As an "old driver" who has been driving for nearly 20 years, she highly recognizes the intelligence of this model. In her view, the design of this intelligent driving system is very close to daily life and can respond to various problems encountered by car owners in the driving process in a timely manner. She said: "For example, when we are driving, we often encounter some drivers forcibly cutting in line, and AITO asks the M5 Smart Driving Edition to firmly hold its own lane at this time, while avoiding the safety hazards caused by this situation."

  According to the staff, Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving system adopts Huawei’s first intelligent driving interactive game algorithm, which solves the problem that intelligent driving encounters difficult road conditions in complex scenes, and can solve more than 70% of the interactive scene takeover problems, shortening the transit time by 40%, making the driving performance of AITO’s M5 intelligent driving version more like an experienced "old driver".

  In addition to the flexible "silky" experience, intelligent driving also brings more safety protection to car owners. Zhu Jun Orange, who is engaged in the IT industry, already knows a lot about intelligent driving system, but he was deeply impressed by the safety performance of Huawei’s intelligent driving system. After the test ride, he also had a higher degree of trust in the safety performance of the car’s intelligent driving system. He said: "Its lane change avoidance, acceleration and deceleration are all logical, and it can also simulate the driving habits of real people."

  According to reports, the fusion sensing system of AITO Zhijie M5 Intelligent Driving Edition is equipped with an overhead lidar, three millimeter-wave radars, 11 high-definition camera groups for lateral and forward visual perception and 12 ultrasonic radars, which can realize the perception of moving and static targets. Its farthest detection distance is about 200 meters, and the horizontal detection angle reaches 120 degrees. In the face of pedestrians or animals suddenly rushing out of the blind area of view, or vehicles parked on the roadside suddenly open the door, it can also realize emergency braking or lane change avoidance, and protect the safety of people and vehicles to the greatest extent. "It protects every owner like a knight," Zhao Xinglin described the safety and reliability of this model.

  Huawei ADS2.0 advanced intelligent driving system is a blessing for the safety of AITO’s M5 intelligent driving version, which is superimposed with the construction of HarmonyOS’s hot ecology. In addition, HUAWEI DriveONE three-in-one electric drive system helps improve the performance of this model, making it safer, smarter and better. Huawei is bringing new variables to the intelligent driving industry.
