Ali and Byte Limit pull, can Ele.me feed Douyin takeaway?

In just one month, rumors of "ByteDance acquiring Ele.me" broke out twice.

In the latest version, Caijing quoted sources as saying that not only did it state that ByteDance’s bid was $7 billion – one of the points of disagreement between the two sides, but also that ByteDance only wanted the delivery team of Ele.me, while Ali wanted the word energy saving to undertake the entire Ele.me.

Although soon, the rumors were once again confirmed by both sides, the outside world believed that the "Schr?dinger’s acquisition" was only a layer of window paper away from the ground – "denial" was just a prescribed action in the negotiations between the two sides.

In the past two years, the local life battlefield has seen renewed waves due to Douyin’s disruption, with the store business performing traffic magic, but the home business has experienced ups and downs. Douyin’s local life is still in a state of "running through the process".

The low-hanging fruit has been picked, and moving forward is a tough battle with real swords and real guns. Meituan spent tens of billions of yuan to build the performance ability, and if Douyin wants to replicate it, he needs to invest several times more time and money. Buying Ele.me is the most cost-effective way, and it is also in line with Zhang Yiming’s usual style of "vigorously performing miracles".

Five years ago, Ali bought Ele.me for $9.50 billion; in the past few years, the decline is not only valuation, but also market share. Now Ele.me is almost reduced to a regional player, takeaway is a low-margin business, and it is difficult to make profits without scale effects. If Ali wants to stop losses in time, Douyin is the only potential buyer on the table.

If Douyin wants to be a "universal entrance", it is impossible to give up local life. But the question is, even if he eats Ele.me and completes the closed loop of local life, can he win Meituan? What Douyin lacks in local life is only the ground delivery team? What Ali + Ele.me couldn’t do in the past, can it be done by Douyin + Ele.me?

Just as Yu Yongfu said in his internal letter in 2021: "This is a protracted battle, a boxing match that has just begun. The process is destined to be long and cruel. Neither side can defeat the opponent, but can only fight for points."

The Infinity War of local life, even if the acquisition is completed, is far from the end.

Douyin Local Life: Good Night Yet to Come

In the past two years of the Douyin Meituan dispute, the outside world’s attention has focused on how Meituan defends the city, but it has ignored that Douyin’s battle for local life has not gone smoothly as imagined, and the traffic stick has also encountered "hard bones".

"Changing coaches" is the most obvious signal. In November 2023, Douyin publicly admitted that Pu Yanzi, the head of commercialization, will also serve as the head of life services business, and Zhu Shiyu, the original head, will be transferred. Pu Yanzi’s internal evaluation is that his style is pragmatic and he is good at solving complex problems.

Industry analysts "Zouma Finance" interpret that the role of the commercialization leader in Douyin is similar to that of Alimama to Ali, and it is the existence of the "God of Wealth". Pu Yanzi, who is more "important", can not only mobilize the commercial traffic of Douyin, but also the commercial traffic resources of almost all traffic-type products such as Jinri Toutiao and Watermelon Video in Douyin – this is the highest configuration that Douyin can give.

Douyin’s local life is far from a "good night". They need more resources and more fierce leaders. The core incentive is the failure of takeaway.

In June last year, according to the "LatePost" report, Douyin takeaway’s annual GMV target was reduced from 100 billion yuan to 5 billion yuan, which came to an "ankle cut". At the same time, the focus of takeaway business changed to: try to run through business processes in more ways.

Half a year has passed, and according to a report by "Whip Bulls" at the end of December last year, Douyin life service partners in multiple regions revealed that Douyin will no longer renew their contracts with them. "Except for the five cities of Chengdu, Changsha, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Fuzhou, the Douyin takeaway business in other cities will be suspended." The purpose is to "penetrate the above five cities in order to obtain comprehensive and sufficient experience and lessons, and then promote the replication to other cities."

Since it was exposed in July 2021, Douyin has been running in the takeaway field for two and a half years, but it is still "running through the process".

The cost is undoubtedly huge. According to a report by Sohu News in March last year, Douyin’s boost to merchants in the pilot takeaway service was 5%, which was three percentage points lower than that of its peers. But Douyin’s traffic is expensive, and its investment in takeout should be higher than that of Meituan and Ele.me, including the costs of delivery and service providers.

This raises the suspicion that takeout is a low-margin chore, and if it is so difficult to move forward, why not give up? Because it does not want to watch consumers flee due to the lack of takeout.

According to a report by "LatePost" in February last year, Douyin Group CEO Zhang Nan once imagined at an internal meeting that Douyin would become a universal portal for users’ mobile devices, not only to swipe content when bored, but also to shop, choose restaurants, and buy plane tickets to book hotels.

This is Douyin’s ambition, and it is also the common dream of Internet giants. Today’s Capital Xu Xin once said in his early speech that there are actually only 12 apps commonly used by users, and apps that are opened more than 8 times a day are exclusive and monopolistic, and "flowers" can grow on them.

Therefore, for Douyin’s local life, it is necessary to close the loop between home and store, which is the answer that Meituan proved ten years ago.

As early as 2014, Wang Huiwen once answered the reporter "Why does Meituan want to do takeout?" He said, "Group buying and takeout, there must be a lot of overlap in the business. From the perspective of the merchant, we can bring it customer flow and transactions. Consumers group buying to the store, or ordering takeout to be delivered to consumers for transaction. Although they are two different transaction models, the merchants will not reject them."

The lack of Douyin takeaway links today is like the short board on the bucket. On the one hand, consumers who have settled through home group buying will flow to Meituan when they repurchase takeaway; on the other hand, the merchants who have made great efforts to attract them will only stay at the store level, and cannot reap the commission of takeaway business.

According to public information, Douyin’s GMV in 2022 is 77 billion yuan, while it has increased by 256% in 2023. It is estimated that the GMV completed in 2023 is about 197.12 billion yuan, exceeding the original target of 150 billion yuan. But if you can’t take takeaway business, how long can such high-speed growth be maintained is an unknown.

Since takeaway is a must, then the existing cooperation model is not good? Since August 2022, Douyin and Ele.me have cooperated, and Douyin has diverted traffic and Ele.me has fulfilled the contract, but both sides have different ideas, and they have not fully connected on the page jump. Douyin cannot obtain the core data assets, so he has more than two years of experience in "running through the process".

Douyin and Meituan are bound to have a head-to-head war, but Douyin looks at his hand and only has abundant traffic and funds, but lacks infrastructure, including systems, teams, and the Know-How capabilities that Meituan has accumulated for more than a decade.

And these, eat Eli.me can make up for it?

"Are you shaking?" Can you win Meituan?

Before Douyin’s disruption, the takeaway battlefield had long since died down. Meituan began to explore instant retail in search of incremental growth; Alibaba’s Ele.me system became infrastructure, focusing on stopping losses.

A set of data clearly illustrates the changes in Ele.me in Alibaba. According to third-party data agency trustdata, in 2020, Meituan and Ele.me’s market share was 60% and 25% respectively; by 2022, it had become 72% and 15%.

From Ele.me to "Shake it", how much can it shake Meituan? Let’s take a look at the fundamentals of the two companies first.

Look at the supply side first, there is the most intuitive data. According to the relevant report of Guolian Securities, the average daily active users of Meituan takeaway business version in October 2023 4.8861 million, and the average daily active users of Ele.me business version 2.6131 million, Meituan is almost 1.87 times that of Ele.me.

Looking at the demand side, according to Quset Mobile data, in October 2023, Ele.me APP DAU 2154.6 million, Meituan takeaway APP DAU 17.4993 million, Meituan APP DAU 144 million. You know, Meituan APP is the main position of all businesses. Combined with past financial reports, Meituan takeaway also leads Ele.me in terms of annual transaction users.

What about Ele.me + Douyin? According to the data report released by "Douyin Life Service Business Observation" on January 2, 2024, in 2023, Douyin Life Service stores will exceed 4.50 million. Even taking into account deduplicate factors, on the supply side, Douyin + Ele.me will still have a considerable base.

In addition, the addition of Ele.me may recoup Douyin’s disadvantage on the supply side of small and medium-sized merchants. "Blue Hole Business" once mentioned in the article "Meituan, Can Use Magic to Beat Magic" that the high cost makes it difficult for small and medium-sized merchants to survive in Douyin. "If you don’t buy advertising and don’t have traffic, you will have zero sales."

On the demand side, Douyin’s traffic magic and Ele.me’s home consumption mindset are expected to make up for their previous shortcomings.

Different from Meituan, benefiting from the acquisition and Ali system, a large proportion of Ele.me’s loyal customers come from 88VIP members, which is characterized by strong spending power. Double 11 in 2023, 88VIP user scale broke through 32 million, and transactions increased by double digits year-on-year. According to Ali’s financial report, the average annual consumption of this group in 2022 reached 57,000 yuan, and the demand-side customer unit price may be expected.

From the perspective of supply and demand, Ele.me has been ahead of Meituan, and it may have new vitality. But whether it can win or not, the performance side is more critical. What Douyin wants most is also the delivery team of Ele.me. Capacity is the "card point" that Douyin takeaway cannot push, and it is also the "east wind" that Douyin only owes for the development of instant retail.

According to Ele.me’s official website, Hummingbird, its delivery platform, has 3 million active riders, including full-time and crowdsourcing; but according to a report released by Meituan in 2022, Meituan has 6.24 million riders. In fact, in 2019, Ele.me has more than 3 million riders, and Meituan is 3.99 million. With Ele.me losing ground, riders naturally flow to Meituan, which has a more dominant order volume.

Of course, the fulfillment of contracts does not rely solely on offline capacity. Offline delivery and online fulfillment are two sides of the same coin. It is rumored that Douyin only needs "delivery staff" and does not need "programmers". Ele.me is currently the second largest takeaway in the market after Meituan, and its fulfillment system is the closest option to contend with it.

After it was merged into Alibaba that year, Ele.me’s hummingbird system was the first to be transformed. Alibaba’s expectation for hummingbird was to rely on the foundation of takeaway services and cooperate with Alibaba’s retail "three-kilometer ideal life circle", which meant that in the past few years, hummingbird and Hema, Tmall Hourly, and first-line brand instant delivery have a long match, and the handling situation is far more complicated than food delivery.

At the same time, Hummingbird’s intelligent scheduling system has been supported by Alibaba Cloud. Now AI has become one of the core directions of Ali’s development, and Hummingbird’s computing power and iteration speed have been enhanced. Because Hummingbird is deeply bound to Ali, it has also become one of the arguments that Alibaba will not give up Ele.me. easily.

But Ele.me in the Ali system can only be said to be self-improvement, and whether it can resist Meituan requires a question mark.

Takeaway fulfillment has the characteristics of "multi-concurrency" and "strong randomness", and a strong online fulfillment system can be regarded as Meituan’s "moat". As Wang Xing said in the first quarter of 2023 earnings report: "If the takeaway business wants to complete each transaction efficiently, it needs a reliable order fulfillment system. We have accumulated a deep foundation in the consumer, merchant, and distribution network of the takeaway business, and it is difficult for other players to break through."

Another factor that cannot be quantified, but can determine the course of the war, is methodology and organizational ability.

On the one hand, the Know-How capabilities and takeaway talents accumulated by Ele.me are equivalent to directly giving answers to Douyin, who has been "running through the process"; but on the other hand, with the invasion of organizational culture and the migration of management authority after Alibaba’s acquisition, Ele.me’s core management has gradually lost, and its playing style is also very different from that of Zhang Xuhao’s era. Ele.me, which pursues cost control, has gradually shrunk into a regional player.

In the two years after Alibaba acquired Ele.me, morale was booming. Wang Lei, the earliest head of Alibaba’s department, also stated internally, "It turned out that Ele.me played Meituan on the first floor and the second floor, but now we are standing on the sixth floor."

At that time, Wang Lei participated in Double 11 and Double 12 with his local life, interacted with Youku and Juhuasuan, and connected with Autonavi and Hema. But from the first quarter of 2019 to the second quarter of 2020, Ele.me’s market share did not rise but fell.

An industry insider told Blue Hole Business that during that time, he went on a business trip to Shunde, Guangdong. Ele.me increased subsidies and launched activities in the local area, hoping to gain momentum in several of Meituan’s advantageous cities, but the results came to nothing. [The business of local life is more complicated than imagined, and the success of one city may not be replicated in all cities.]

A Meituan person once recalled with "Blue Hole Business" that at that time, Meituan did not regard the other party as a competitor when competing with Ele.me. "Although Meituan gave less resources than the other party in each city, it always got good results in the end. There is indeed a methodology."

Frustrated by the competition, Alibaba began to adjust its thinking. In July 2021, Yu Yongfu, known as the "integration master", took over local life and proposed the so-called "541 formation" and "four vertical and four horizontal" playing methods, but this was an internal staff that also had some unclear theories.

Falling on Ele.me, the strategy focuses more on key cities, which is the so-called "efficiency first, then scale", emphasizing the strengthening of instant retail and distribution capabilities in terms of capabilities, and paying more attention to festival marketing in terms of tactics, such as the repeated mention of "guess the answer to win the free order".

The key data obtained from the above actions is that Ele.me’s unit economic benefits continue to be positive, and its losses have narrowed year by year. But takeaway is always a low-margin business, and if you want to make money, you still need to do it on a large scale. Ele.me’s long-term strategy is to stop bleeding for Ali, but it is the opposite for Ele.me itself.

The local life battlefield is far more complicated than imagined, and it is unknown whether Douyin can recover the share that Ele.me has lost in the past few years.

Although Meituan’s share price fell every time the acquisition scandal broke, it proved the outside world’s attitude towards the deal. But even if the acquisition is completed, it is only an escalation of the war situation, not an end.

After scolding "cutting leeks", Wang Bicong threw 2 million to buy Jia Yueting’s new car

Original, Team Author, Shuaizhen Business Vision

Why did Wang Sicong jump into the "fire pit" when he knew that the other party was a liar?

Produced by Shuai Zhen Business Vision (ID: ailishi777)

A few days ago, Jia Yueting made a rare appearance at the China Auto Blue Book Forum and participated in the meeting by video link. This is his first public appearance in China since he left the United States for six years.

In the video, Jia Yueting wears a signature smile, with an assembled FF91 parked behind him, to prove to the outside world that the FF91 is really mass-produced.

The first batch of FF91s in mass production in the United States has been delivered to car owners, most of whom are Wall Street executives or Hollywood stars.

The appearance on the domestic auto forum this time is clearly Jia Yueting’s preparation for the sale of FF91 in China. According to people familiar with the matter, China’s first FF91 owner is the famous "national husband" Wang Sicong.

Anyone familiar with Wang Sicong knows that he rented a garage at the Peninsula Hotel in Shanghai, where more than 20 luxury cars, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Bentley Mulsanne, Maybach, and limited-edition Porsche, are parked, with a total value of over 100 million yuan.

Only there are no electric luxury cars.

This time, Wang Bicong threw 2 million to buy Jia Yueting’s new car, which is a bit confusing. You know, he once publicly criticized Jia Yueting on Weibo as a "liar who cuts leeks".

Why did Wang Sicong jump into the "fire pit" when he knew that the other party was a liar? The story starts with an investment made seven years ago.

01

Jia Yueting used to be the God of Wealth of Wang Sicong.

In 2009, after Wang Sicong returned from studying abroad, Wang Jianlin always wanted to train him as a successor and take over the then-thriving Wanda Group.

Wang Sicong has his own ideas. He doesn’t want people to say that he is a rich second generation of "fighting father", and wants to break out-point himself.

Therefore, Wang Jianlin gave Wang Sicong 500 million yuan as the capital base for starting a business and agreed: "This 500 million yuan loss is fine, I will give you another 500 million yuan, but if you lose again, you will honestly go back to Wanda to work."

Wang Sicong took the 500 million yuan given by his father and established an investment company called "Pusi Capital", looking for small companies with potential all over the world.

In his opinion, it is too hard for his father to make money by building a building. Real entrepreneurs should learn to let others make money for themselves.

The person who helped Wang Sicong make money was Jia Yueting.

At that time, Jia Yueting had unlimited scenery in the capital markets, holding the two major industries of LeTV film and television and LeTV sports.

Under the guidance of his wife Gan Wei, Jia Yueting turned Zhang Yimou, Guo Jingming, Sun Honglei, Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, Sun Li and other celebrities into LeTV shareholders.

The famous LeTV has attracted the attention of Wang Sicong. In 2015, he invested 100 million yuan in LeTV Sports, accounting for 11% of the shares and becoming the largest shareholder.

Jia Yueting did not disappoint Wang Sicong. Under the superb capital operation of the former, LeTV Sports only took one year, and the valuation soared from 2 billion to 20 billion, which expanded by 10 times. Wang Sicong did nothing, just made 2.20 billion!

After 2017, there were a lot of self-media on the Internet, saying that Wang Sicong was not only handsome, but also very powerful. It took a few years to turn the 500 million yuan given by his father into 5 billion yuan. As expected of the "national husband" that every woman wants to marry.

In fact, Wang Sicong just followed the trend and voted for LeTV, which is no different from the "chasing high" of ordinary investors.

02

When Wang Sicong was immersed in the vanity of "national husband", Guo Taiming, the real business boss, had sensed that LeEco was going to die.

The reason was that Jia Yueting held a "buy a member and get a color TV" activity, which caught the home appliance factory by surprise. Huang Hongsheng, the boss of Skyworth, said that he had dealt with color TVs all his life, and he never dreamed that one day he would buy a color TV for free!

Under the free offensive, LeTV color TV surged forward, with annual sales reaching 6 million units, becoming the fourth largest color TV brand in the country. LeTV’s share price rose with the tide, and its valuation reached 160 billion.

Jia Yueting wanted to seize control of the color TV industry and began a series of merger plans.

He first set his sights on Skyworth and invited Huang Hongsheng to a Beijing palace for dinner. During the dinner, Jia Yueting opened two bottles of 82-year-old Lafite. After three rounds of wine, Jia Yueting stated the purpose of the dinner: he wanted to buy 30% of Skyworth’s shares at 1.5 times the price.

Huang Hongsheng is excited, which means he can cash out billions at a time.

But Mr. Jia added: LeEco will pay $100 million first, and the rest will be paid within nine months. He then produced a letter of intent for Mr. Huang to sign.

Huang Hongsheng was not drunk and said that he was not in a hurry to sign the contract. He would wait until he went back to discuss with the team.

This decision saved Skyworth.

A few days later, Huang Hongsheng received a call from Guo Taiming and also made an appointment for dinner. At the dinner, Guo Taiming said straight to the point, "I heard that Jia Yueting talked to you about the acquisition?"

Huang Hongsheng explained the situation. Guo Taiming pointed and said, "He also talked to me about buying a TV brand in my hands."

What makes Guo Taiming puzzled is that Jia Yueting’s 100 million deposit has been on the account for 8 months, why did the balance not arrive?

Guo Taiming asked Huang Hongsheng, "Do you think Jia Yueting has so much money?"

The answer is no. At the moment, LeEco’s funds are extremely tight, and there are only five months left before the collapse.

Afterwards, Huang Hongsheng rejected Jia Yueting’s acquisition offer. Guo Taiming also cancelled the deal because he did not receive the balance, earning a deposit of 100 million in vain.

Capital that sensed something was wrong began to secretly sell off LeEco’s shares. Wang Sicong, the "son", was still in the dark, and his daily concern was "Which girlfriend do you want to hang out with today?"

03

In April 2017, the LeTV empire began to disintegrate; in July, it was revealed that there were problems such as exaggerated profits and false sales; in October, Jia Yueting resigned as chairperson and went to the United States, but has not yet returned.

Wang Sicong woke up like a dream, not only did the 2 billion he earned in the early stage disappear, but even the principal of more than 1 billion was wasted.

The bad news doesn’t stop there.

In 2019, Panda Live, which he invested in and served as CEO, declared bankruptcy after losing the money-burning war, leaving 1 billion debt black hole.

Then, the entertainment company "Banana Project", which he founded, lost orders from Tencent, got into trouble, and was sued by many creditors. Wang Sicong became "Lao Lai".

A company screenwriter even knelt down to Wang Sicong in order to ask for 800,000 royalties. But only in exchange: "Go to court and sue me!"

After a series of blows, the once-famous Pulse Capital lost all its "underpants". "National husband" was suddenly beaten back to its original form and became synonymous with playboy.

The unwilling Wang Sicong took Jia Yueting to court again, demanding Jia Yueting to compensate 100 million yuan on the grounds that LeTV Sports violated the agreement.

The court upheld Wang Sicong’s request.

It is said that Jia Yueting contacted Wang Sicong privately to ensure that he would be responsible for the debt to the end, and promised to give him one when FF91 was mass-produced.

6 years later, Jia Yueting’s situation is improving. More than 20 billion in debt, he has paid more than 10 billion, only owe 9.80 billion. Wang Sicong’s 100 million probability has been paid off.

Therefore, the two repaired their relationship. Only then did the news come out that Wang Sicong bought FF91. Jia Yueting, who made a comeback, proved his ability.

Wang Sicong was courteous, and it was not surprising to buy an FF91 to support him. After all, there are no eternal friends in the mall, only eternal interests.

Is Wanda quitting AMC too early? Wang Jianlin is an entrepreneur, not a gambler

As the saying goes: a big tree attracts the wind. In early June, Wanda and Wang Jianlin accidentally became a hot topic on the Internet again. The reason is that the stock price of AMC cinema chain in the United States has recently soared again, from about $12 at the end of May to more than $60 at the close of June 2. On May 23, Wanda just issued a notice to announce that it would clear its position and withdraw from AMC.

"Wanda fell before dawn and missed tens of billions of dollars in revenue" "Wang Jianlin passed by a hundred small targets"… For a time, Wanda and Wang Jianlin became the object of self-media ridicule, but these keyboard warriors and hindsight forgot a basic fact:

Wang Jianlin is an entrepreneur, not a gambler.

As the leader of a large private enterprise like Wanda, Wang Jianlin’s decision-making priority is the stable and sustainable development of the enterprise, avoiding unnecessary risks and earning profits from the good development of the enterprise, rather than taking huge risks like a gambler in an attempt to maximize profits in the stock market.

In 2012, the US movie theater industry was booming, and the US annual movie box office reached a record high of 10.80 billion US dollars. Wanda spent 700 million US dollars to acquire the loss-making AMC theater chain at this time, mainly based on the expectation of the good development prospects of the US movie theater industry.

"After Wanda Group acquired AMC, it promoted the successful listing and merger and acquisition of AMC, making AMC the world’s largest movie theater chain, and jointly promoted the cooperation of the film industry and the exchange of film culture between China and the United States."

Wanda’s statement in the May 23 notice clearly stated the purpose and achievements of the acquisition of AMC that year.

On December 18, 2013, AMC successfully landed on the New York Stock Exchange, raising 400 million US dollars, and the opening price on the first day of listing was 19.18 US dollars, which doubled the income of Wanda’s merger and acquisition in just over a year.

If you just want to make quick money in the capital markets, Wanda can choose the opportunity to exit, why wait until now?

In 2018, the annual movie box office in North America hit a record high of $11.80 billion, and then began to decline. Wanda began to gradually withdraw from AMC’s controlling stake in that year in anticipation of the downward turning point in the development of the US movie theater industry.

Wanda not only adopts a gradual withdrawal strategy for AMC, but also for other industries with bleak development prospects. In January 2019, Wang Jianlin explained his strategic adjustment in his speech at Wanda Group’s 2018 work summary:

"For other industries that do not have a competitive advantage now, and it will be difficult to achieve a competitive advantage in the future, we must gradually and orderly withdraw. In short, Wanda needs to be thin and have something to give. This is the logic of Wanda’s past, present and future disposal of some assets."

"Some self-media or so-called experts only see that we are selling, but they don’t see that we are still investing in new projects. Then again, if everyone in Wanda’s business can understand it, then we are worthless. This kind of strategic adjustment is definitely uncomfortable, even painful, but Wanda must’stick to Qingshan and not relax, and let the wind from east to west".

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated the pace of Wanda’s exit from AMC. In January this year, American retail investors gathered to hype the first wave of AMC’s market, which sent AMC’s share price from as low as $1.91 to as high as $20.36, giving Wanda the opportunity to exit the profit.

Therefore, whether it is to acquire or withdraw from AMC, Wanda and Wang Jianlin are mainly based on the anticipation of the development prospects of the US movie theater industry, and later Wanda Group’s "domestic focus" development strategy needs.

Of course, the price of AMC’s share price should be considered, but how to ensure the stable and sustainable development of the enterprise and avoid unnecessary risks is the first consideration for entrepreneurs like Wang Jianlin.

No one can accurately predict the rise and fall of stocks. The future development prospects of the American cinema chain are not optimistic, but many industry insiders and entrepreneurs can anticipate it.

From the perspective of entrepreneurs, with AMC’s share price having risen sharply, Wanda has no problem exiting AMC and earning the money it is certain to earn.

Although AMC started the second wave of speculation this year after Wanda’s exit, and its share price continued to rise sharply, it has long been out of the hype of stock fundamentals, and the risk is extremely high. Moreover, there is no limit on the rise and fall of the US stock market. AMC’s share price can rise by 95% in a day, and it may also fall by so much. AMC’s share price once rose to $20 at the end of January this year, and quickly plummeted to $5 in February, which is evidence of this.

What’s more, the old investors know that it is difficult for the stocks of major shareholders to sell down their holdings by a large amount to rise sharply. If Wanda did not clear its position and exit AMC, AMC’s share price would not be more than 60 US dollars. Because in the process of Wanda’s large-scale selling of AMC shares, huge purchases are required, which will suppress the sharp rise in AMC’s share price.

Only after the announcement of Wanda’s clearance of AMC shares, without a lot of selling pressure, but with the expectation of a new main force entering, did AMC retail investors dare to go long without any worries, which led to the second wave of AMC share price speculation this year.

Those who mocked Wanda for "missing out on tens of billions of dollars in revenue" were either hindsight or ignorance.

According to media reports, Wall Street analysts recently reminded retail investors who are heavily invested in AMC stocks to be aware of the risks. Macquarie analyst Chad Beynon and his team believe that the debt situation of AMC theaters is worrying, and once again reiterated that AMC’s target price is $6, and the investment evaluation is "neutral".

The price of a movie ticket at an AMC theater is about $14, and the $6 target price means that in the eyes of this analyst, AMC’s share price is not worth half the price of a movie ticket at an AMC theater!

On June 5, Beijing time, Thomas Peterffy, founder and chairperson of Interactive Brokers (IBKR.US) in the United States, warned that investors in "retail group stocks" such as AMC cinema chain could face huge losses.

Wanda’s clearance and withdrawal from AMC is the need for strategic adjustment. Although it has not and cannot be sold at the highest point, it has earned double the profit while avoiding the huge risks it may face.

This is the vision and pattern of entrepreneurs, and gamblers and adventurers will never understand it.

BYD, give me back my gearbox! Tang DM-p was upgraded reversely, which disappointed the old car owners.

At 8 o’clock on the evening of June 9, the long-awaited Tang DM-p finally officially appeared for pre-sale, with a pure battery life of 215 kilometers, a super intelligent electric four-wheel drive, an acceleration of 4.3 seconds at zero, and a fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100 kilometers, which is a performance benchmark of this level. Perhaps my expectations are too high. As the first generation of Tang car owners, I am slightly disappointed with the new Tang DM-p, and even think it is a compromise between technology and market.

Dynasty series is BYD’s pioneering work. Since the first generation of Qin and Tang Dynasties, it has established its position as a leader in new energy vehicles. In particular, the 542 strategy, Tang Zhanfanbang, eclipsed the joint venture car at the same level! Zero acceleration of 4.9 seconds, full-time electric four-wheel drive, in the 200,000-class SUV, Tang Yi rides the dust! Even under a million, there are few opponents. Since then, BYD has gained the first batch of fans, and I am one of them.

The first batch of Tang car owners, the pride of domestic cars was rooted in their bones. At that time, the 2015 Tang didn’t even have a small BSG motor, and it was said to be an oil tiger, but I could drive it below 6L (the road conditions were smooth), and even went to
(
get away
) specific fuel consumption. The running-in between people and cars has reached such a level as an armband, an automatic transmission car, and I can even control the engine rpm through mode switching and throttle depth, just like manual transmission.

In 18 years, the second generation of Tang Dynasty went on the market, and started the family design of Longyan, upgraded the BSG small motor, and the zero-hundred-speed acceleration was also improved to 4.5 seconds, which can be said to be a brand-new look from the inside out. At that time, the president of Volkswagen even came to Wan Li for a test drive, so that he was caught speeding and made a wave of advertisements for BYD for free.

Perhaps the starting point of Tang is too high. This time, Tang DM-p did evolve and upgrade in some places, but it also lost something. The prospective car owner may be happy, but for an old car owner like me, he is slightly disappointed. Tang DM-p still hasn’t evolved to the perfect appearance in my heart, and there are some grooves, so I really can’t spit it out.

First, what about the gearbox?

DM-i doesn’t need it, because it focuses on economy and fuel economy. Han DM-p can also use no gearbox, and the passability of the car determines that it can only take pavement. But as an SUV with main performance,Represents poetry and the distant Tang DynastyI think the gearbox is necessary.

EHS electric hybrid system can be more fuel-efficient and smooth, and the super intelligent electric four-wheel drive is realized by three-in-one rear electric drive, and its stability and difficulty relief are not inferior to the previous version. When using the gearbox, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of shifting, which will reduce the driving experience and increase fuel consumption. However, the gearbox has two advantages that ECVT can’t compare. The first isThe engine can be involved in the full speed range., the power bonus is higher. The second isOil and electricity systems are independent of each other, which can form double insurance..

ECVT (including all the existing DHT in 2nd and 3rd gears) has no starting gear, so once the battery, motor and circuit system fail, the engine cannot drive the vehicle alone. And the hybrid gearbox, such as the old Tang and Han DM, can run on pure oil, at the very least, the safety is more secure, and it will not squat halfway. It is more reliable when you drive long distances, even when you cross long distances.

Second, upgrade 2.0T to 1.5T?

Compared with the 2021 Tang DM, the power of Tang DM-p has not been significantly improved, and the official announcement is 4.3 seconds faster than the actual measurement. However, the old Tang DM was realized by 2.0T engine+dual motors with total power of 394kW, while the new Tang DM-p was realized by 1.5T engine+dual motors with total power of 480kW.

We don’t blow black, the displacement is small, the fuel consumption will inevitably decrease, and on this basis, the performance has not weakened, which can be regarded as an improvement. The old Tang DM lost 7.5L of electricity and fuel consumption, while the new one was reduced to 6.5L..

In addition, the thermal efficiency of the new 1.5T Xiaoyun engine is more than 40%, and the noise and vibration are obviously better than the old 2.0T If the new and old models are compared, the new NVH must be far superior to the old ones. Although I have not measured this, I can tell from the technical details.

However, it is 1.5T after all. In order to make the power reach the previous high standard, the motor power has to be increased, and in order to maintain the output of the motor, the battery has to be increased. So this is the Tang DM-p with a battery life of 215Km. butDon DM-p, in my mind, it should be 2.0T!

2.0T high thermal efficiency engine, BYD487ZQD, the thermal efficiency is actually not too high, 39% is enough, and the soul of Tang is not fuel-efficient. I think the fuel consumption of 7.5L is acceptable, because if it can be charged at home, it will still be driven by pure electricity most of the time. My old Tang needs 9L for electricity consumption, but I also have to worry about the expiration of gasoline. For most people, 80Km pure battery life is enough.

Third, don DM-p is still
AWD?

BYD’s marketing level is a long story. before
The four-wheel drive version is called Song PLUS DM-i AWD, which is the same as adding a rear motor on the basis of the EHS hybrid of DM-i. And when I got to Han,
In addition, the rear motor realizes four-wheel drive, because the pure battery life is longer, it is called DM-P. Is there any rule for this naming? Who can tell me what is the difference between DM-i AWD and DM-p? Is the motor more powerful?

In fact, according to the classification defined by BYD itself, the current DM-p of Tang and Han should be called DM-i AWD. Because DM-p is defined as the ultimate performance, regardless of fuel consumption, it should be a 2.0T engine+a hybrid special gearbox with a starting gear (which can be an advanced version of DCT). On this basis, plus a large motor and a large battery necessary for a large motor, it should not be a problem to have a pure battery life of 200Km and a break of 4 seconds.

As a car, the solution of DM-i AWD (cash DM-p) is indeed better than the solution with gearbox. However, as an SUV, I still think that a gearbox is needed to add a heavy insurance to poetry and the distance.

In fact, from the change of naming, we can also see the internal entanglement of BYD. If the technical scheme of early DM-p was determined, there would not be such a freak as AWD on Song Plus DM-I. Maybe just call it
DM-P. I guess, when Song PLUS DM-i AWD was released, BYD didn’t deny that DM-p had a gearbox, and finally, for various reasons, it had to compromise with the market.

Fourth, high-cost solutions cut off the possibility of low prices.

Why does Tang DM-p need 215Km pure battery life? In fact, for most families, the average mileage of a year is 10,000 kilometers, and the average is only about 30Km kilometers per day. Therefore, it is enough to travel in the urban area with pure electricity for 80Km. Even if you run a little farther occasionally, the mileage of pure electricity is not enough. It is nothing more than using some oil. The long battery life is meaningless. But why do the pure battery life of Tang and Han DM-p exceed 200Km?

Because this is necessary for large motors, the battery pack must be large enough to support the voltage required for high power output of large motors! And the cost of the battery is real money, so the price of this generation of Tang Han is much more expensive than the previous generation. You can say it’s worth the money, but it’s not friendly to some friends with insufficient budget.

Fifth, the strength comparison of Tang DM-p products.

The above spit is mainly because I don’t agree with BYD’s technical route, butAs far as Tang DM-p is concerned, the improvement is still huge.. Even if it sells for more than 300 thousand, its product strength at this price is still the strongest, and the only thing that can compete with it is only.
DHT PHEV, plus 2021 Tang DM, we put the three cars together to compare the product strength.

1. compare mocha DHT PHEV:Mocha There are only two configurations of PHEV, one is the 252Km distinguished model equivalent to Tang DM-i, which has no advantage in price and battery life. The fast charge is only 60W, and it takes one hour to charge the battery to 80%. The advantage is that the power is better than that of Tang DM-i 252Km, which is 7.4 seconds, and Bitang DM-i’s performance of 8.5 seconds is more than one second faster. Compared with the two-drive version, it is obvious that the newly released Tang DM-i 252 honor is more worth buying.

The four-wheel drive version, which corresponds to Tang DM-p, is slightly inferior in power, but the gap between 4.8 seconds and 4.3 seconds does not make much sense for home use. Tang DM-p has longer battery life and stronger fast charge. The specific configuration is basically the same horizontal line, while Tang DM-p has a wide temperature range heat pump air conditioner, which has obvious advantages in winter endurance.

In addition, Mocha has five seats, while Tang provided seven-seat and six-seat versions.

Previously, my evaluation of Moka DHT PHEV was before the release of Tang DM-p, and it was 300,000 SUV with the highest cost performance, and there was no one. Sure enough, after the release of Tang DM-p, the most cost-effective 300,000 SUV was taken away.

2. Compare 21 Tang DM models.The price ranges of the two cars do not overlap, so they do not constitute direct competition. Tang DM has only two advantages. The first is its low price. Although it is a product of the previous generation, its performance is not weak. The second is that the oil and electricity systems are independent of each other, which is equivalent to double insurance. However, in other respects, it is definitely a penny for a penny. The pure battery life of Tang DM-p is 215Km. You may not need it, but the money is spent in place, and the surplus is better than nothing. Moreover, the power is insufficient and the fuel consumption is much lower than that of the same class fuel vehicle.

In addition, the biggest improvement is assisted driving. In the past, Tang DM’s assisted driving was only L2 level on the passing line, and the top models only had parallel auxiliary function. The new Tang DM-p has reached the level of quasi-L3, ACC adaptive cruise supports stop-and-go mode, forward and backward travel tips, blind spot monitoring, active lane keeping system, automatic parking in the whole scene … and the safety has also increased by one level.

The second is fast charging. Previously, the most popular voice of old riders was the fast charging function. For Tang DM with 80Km battery life, fast charging is of little significance, because no matter how fast it is filled, it can only run 80Km. However, for the pure battery life of 215Km, it is worthwhile to charge 80% in 20 minutes. 200Km requires 13L of oil. If it can be recharged, it can save more than 100 yuan of oil money.

Sixth, Tang DM-p, DM-i, DM and EV purchase suggestions.

1. It is recommended not to be obsessed with SUV. If it is only for urban transportation, I recommend Han DM-p more. The budget is more than 280 thousand,
More fragrant.

2, there is no demand for four-wheel drive, home to buy Tang DM-i 112Km battery life version, starting at 202,800, cheap is the last word! 112Km pure battery life is enough for most families. The long battery life of 252Km is 80 thousand expensive, which is highly recommended! If you have that budget, you might as well buy DM-P.

3. I want to buy a car after retirement in go on road trip, and I recommend 21 models of Tang DM on the grounds of double insurance. If you have enough budget and don’t go to too remote places, you can also choose Tang DM-p with fast charging, and the cost of comprehensive vehicles is lower.

4. Do not travel far, meet the needs of family cars,
Since you don’t travel far and drive in the city, the two drives will be enough. Unless you are in a northern city, you need to deal with icy roads. The battery life depends on your travel radius. There is no difference between 730Km and 500Km for a pure tram, only the difference between sufficient and insufficient.Make sure you don’t plan to drive long distances. EV smells better than DM-i and DM-p, although it is more expensive..

5. Tang DM-p configuration suggestionsPersonally, the most cost-effective one is the middle-equipped exclusive type, which has a lot more active safety configuration and comfort configuration than the low-equipped one, and can be equipped with a six-seat enjoyment combination suit, with a 2+2+2 seat layout for 10,000 yuan, and the second row of seats can be upgraded with ventilation, heating, massage and lumbar support, which is very cost-effective. Low matching is not recommended, and the loss of 20 thousand yuan difference is too much. The top matching mainly adds an active suspension, and supports full-scene automatic parking, Brembo brake calipers and differential locks. Of course, the budget is sufficient, but the cost performance is not higher than that of the middle matching model.

Write it at the endIn fact, Tang DM has basically reached the ultimate performance of family cars in the previous generation, so that it is difficult for the new model to achieve any substantive breakthrough. Moreover, although Tang is the flagship model of the dynasty family, it is not the top in BYD’s product system, the legendary high-end brand (starry sky? It is getting closer and closer to us, whether it is spit or disappointment, it must still be admitted that Tang DM-p is a 300,000-level SUV with the strongest product strength. Even if there is only a small step forward, it is also breaking through yourself.

Interview with Chengdu Auto Show 2021: A brand-new sub-brand of Krypton

On August 29th, the media day of Chengdu Auto Show in 2021, Krypton brand displayed a brand-new ecological strategy of energy replenishment, and released its sub-brand ZEEKR Power Krypton Energy. Relying on professional team, self-developed technology, partners and intelligent operation, we can build a complementary ecology and experience from three dimensions: family, city and service, and provide users with all-round energy solutions.

Wechat picture _20210829132610.jpg

Lu Mi, general manager of Zhejiang Haohan Energy Technology Co., Ltd. said at the press conference: "We will be committed to exploring new technologies, new services and new experiences, realizing full-scene, full-ecological and full-life cycle energy management, and solving the pain points of users’ full-scene charging experience with ecological services, becoming the driving force and guarantee for extremely awkward users to travel, and endurance for life anytime and anywhere."

After the press conference, Mr. Lu Tao was indirectly interviewed by the media in the interview, and then we will share the key contents of the interview with you.

A Interview with 2.jpg

▲ Lu Tao  General manager of Zhejiang Haohan Energy Technology Co., Ltd.

Reporter:This year, Tesla completed 500 charging piles, of which 200 were completed this year. I think we are expected to complete 290 this year. I would like to ask when all of them will be delivered. The first batch was delivered in September? Another question is whether the charging station is self-operated or a third party.

Liu Tao:First, our target plan is to complete 290 seats within this year, which is also a challenge for us. In September, the first charging station will be launched, and the overcharging station will also be launched. The light charging station is probably expected to be a little late. The second question is that all the 290 seats are self-operated.

Reporter:Regarding the charging power, Tesla’s charging power is 120kW, and Tucki’s is 90kW. What’s our charging power?

Liu Tao:We have a variety of product series, including 20kW light charging products, 60-120kW overcharged products and 360kW extremely charged products. Different products have different power. If it is equipped with a 400-volt platform, the fastest charging speed of Krypton 001 from 10% to 80%SOC can be about 30 minutes.

Reporter:Before, I saw that Krypton gave a lot of data, saying that we will deploy 360 kilowatts of charging in the future, but not in the initial 290 seats, or what?

Liu Tao:Our piles can support the maximum charging power of 360 kW, and the planning of extremely filled piles will have some technical foresight, and it will go a little ahead, which can match the vast future architecture, and it is possible to carry the future 800 V platform. .

Reporter:Let me explain that the number of 290 stations includes different powers, not all of them are the same, and the power of different gradients is different. The highest power is 360 kW.

Liu Tao:Yes, our 290-seat charging station includes extremely charging station, overcharging station and light charging station, because each station is equipped with different charging facilities and charging piles.

Reporter:What is the proportion of our high-power charging piles among the 290 seats?

Liu Tao:Now, at present, we are competing with friends in the market for some capacitor and site problems. It is not certain that the remaining current in this shopping mall can be matched to the pole-filled pile or pole-filled station. We will take measures according to local conditions. At present, there is no very accurate proportion, which may not be suitable for full announcement, but we will announce the proportion later. Now we are looking for places with land and electricity while building in batches, and there are still some uncertainties.

Reporter:What is the plan that our charging network will be initially opened to Geely Group, third parties and other brands?

Liu Tao:Our polar charging station is not open now, only for polar krypton. Our overcharging station and light charging station can be opened.

Reporter:I think we gave a free charge this morning with a thousand degrees limit. Can this car be used to run Didi?

Liu Tao:Our press conference said that it is only limited to the first non-operating car owner of YOU version, and it is definitely not possible to run Didi.

Reporter:We released the brand ZEEKR Power this morning. It is not an after-sales service system now, but a brand. So in your opinion, what is the difference between it and the after-sales service system of Krypton? Why is it a brand?

Liu Tao:Many friends regard energy replenishment or charging as a part of after-sales service. Our business system should be called energy service accurately. In energy service, energy replenishment is only one part. Energy service also includes battery operation and similar optical storage integration, micro-grid construction, etc. It is a big energy layout. In Geely’s view, the whole energy service system, including Krypton, is a very, very large plate or business unit, so it is not just a simple small link in after-sales service, so we will pay more attention to the layout and input resources of energy services than other countries, so we will become an energy company operating independently and serve the Krypton brand at the same time. Therefore, the sub-brand of krypton energy was born, which is such a situation.

Reporter:In the morning, I heard you speak on the stage, and there was a scene that the office area and scenic spot would use 20 kilowatts of light power. Is this based on cost considerations or something? The figure of 20 kilowatts is not enough for any car in public areas, because it is better to charge it quickly, and it is better to walk quickly. Why is it 20 kilowatts?

Liu Tao:Good question, as I said at the press conference, it is not necessarily directly related to the cost. Of course, we also hope to control the cost. Because there are many charging scenarios, and I just said that the light charging pile is 20 kilowatts, you just mentioned that we will also put in extremely charging stations and over-charging stations in offices or other destinations, which does not mean that these places will definitely put in or only put in light charging stations. This is not necessarily related. At the same time, I also said in the morning that we should not only charge quickly, but also charge well. The reason for charging quickly is that we have a 360 kW output including high-power extremely-charged piles, which can quickly solve the user’s needs with very urgent needs. Now I have to leave immediately after charging, and I can’t wait that long. In another case, it is well-filled. When we look back, you will find that if you are a new energy vehicle owner now, and you go to dinner with friends, you will find that it will take at least 2 hours, but it will be filled up very quickly. If you use extremely-filled piles or extremely-filled stations now, there will definitely be some overtime and delay costs, which will be a loss to the whole social resources. We definitely hope that the user will charge the car in 2-3 hours, charging it with a light pile, and you don’t have to go down to move the car. For example, it is a very painful and bad experience for you to eat a meal for 30 minutes.

Reporter bThis scene doesn’t mean that you are waiting for charging. You may have gone to the scenic spot to play, the car is charging here, and then you drive away after playing in the scenic spot, not to let you sit and wait in this scene.

Reporter:Why is the number 20?

Liu Tao:It must be a comprehensive consideration, including 20 kilowatts on the R&D side, the market side, the user side and the cost side. We don’t just say 30 kilowatts, 40 kilowatts and 50 kilowatts at will. Generally speaking, we will classify the scenes of pure electric vehicles according to the parking time. For example, we will stay at home for one night, stay in the company for one day, and stay in the mall for only 2-4 hours. We will charge about 50%-60% of the starting SOC and ending SOC data of pure electric vehicles under normal circumstances. Based on big data calculation, according to 60% of the 100-degree battery of Krypton 001, it will be charged about 60 degrees. According to the parking time of 2-4 hours, 20kW is enough, which can definitely meet the charging demand in this scene, make full use of power resources, cover more parking spaces and provide more charging parking spaces.

Reporter:Weilai said in the publicity that he hoped that every Weilai user would live in the electricity area, and how many kilometers there would be a power station. Is there such a goal for us to have a charging station within how many kilometers in the future?

Liu Tao:We don’t have a specific frame to determine how many kilometers away from the user community, because we have to consider the overall distribution of all users. At present, there is no particularly accurate way to calculate the user data because Extreme Krypton 001 has not been delivered. Second, we now feel that for all extreme Krypton car owners, we should solve the core problem first. The core problem is that we are now laying out in some places in the core of supermarkets and CBD, and solve the problem that these users often go to the scene first. It is the second step to extend it to calculate how much to do. At present, the core pain point for users is the core of the city center, not the suburbs.

Reporter:There is a new round of financing these two days. Is the sub-brand of our charging station a wholly-owned sub-brand of Geely or something else?

Liu Tao:ZEEKR Power, the sub-brand you are talking about?

Reporter:Right.

Liu Tao:This brand should not exist. It is jointly owned by several companies, and ZEEKR Power serves ZEEKR.

Reporter:Weilai’s power exchange station is just a few companies.

Liu Tao:Different, NIO Power only serves NIO (Weilai), and it does not serve other brands.

Reporter:From the profit model, for example, just now, I accepted the brand of Krypton, and the owner will have a free charge every year when placing an order this year. What is the profit model?

Liu Tao:I understand that you are planning profit points for all specific overall energy companies, or are you referring to profit points for only stations?

Reporter:Our brand.

Liu Tao:At present, our profit is related to the user experience. At this stage, we will pay more attention to the user experience, and profit is only the second priority. From the perspective of the whole energy service system, there are many companies in the market that look at the situation of new energy vehicles and energy companies in the same important position. If there are enough new energy vehicles in the market, energy companies can make more layouts through new energy vehicles, which can incubate many business models. However, in the early stage, the first thing is to sell the vehicles and implement the follow-up strategy on the basis of ownership, so it is not necessary to achieve profitability in the early stage. Of course, the two of them will have some complementary functions.

Reporter:I think the morning press conference also talked about the plan of charging cars. I am very interested in this matter. Weilai NIO Power also mentioned this thing, but now they are gradually reducing the proportion of mobile charging cars in the whole energy service. What is the initial deployment logic of our car? Priority in first-class cities or as a supplement in other cities?

Liu Tao:It suddenly occurred to me that you just had a question. You just talked about the point of profit. Now private cars are in a rapid growth trend, growing at a rate of 100% and 200%. It is a very large incremental market at present. If there are enough pure electric cars in the market, the profit part is very large. But at present, we will grasp the user experience and profit with both hands. You just mentioned the urban layout of charging cars. At present, we will give priority to the service of mobile charging stations in first-tier cities. Mobile charging cars will probably do some tests one after another in September, and it is expected to start online at the end of September.

Reporter:Will the use of charging cars be a right of users, or will there be a higher charge?

Liu Tao:At present, the charging car will be in the whole service system, and the user side and the retail side have not announced the specific rules and policies, because they are still doing some calculation and specific research work. When they announce the specific content, we will consider combining the two services of mobile charging car and valet charging (charging) to give users an experience, but at present, there is no specific plan and policy.

Is the new Volvo XC60 better than the Audi Q5L? The car machine upgrade is also equipped with 2.0T+48V light mixing.

If I go back a few years, if you let me choose Volvo XC60 (parameter picture), I will definitely hold your eye. However, after upgrading to a dad, various words such as comfort, safety and environmental protection often come to my mind. Among some mainstream luxury medium-sized SUVs, can you tell me how to choose? Obviously, the Volvo XC60 is more in line with my car demand.

Before we start, let me tell you the good news. The new Volvo XC60 has been completely updated to a 48V hybrid, and the trailer has been changed from the original T5 to B5. Besides the power, there are other upgrades. Ok, without further ado, let’s enjoy the hard-core strength of the new Volvo XC60.

In fact, choosing a car is like finding a wife, you need fine products. Married friends all know that a wife is not necessarily very beautiful, and it is most important to be generous and experience life. The new Volvo XC60 gives me this feeling. Maybe it doesn’t have the dazzling aura of BBA, but it can protect the people you love the most. The simple and fashionable design technique is the first feeling it conveys to you, but compared with the old model, it is indeed a lot more refined.

"New Volvo XC60"

"Old Volvo XC60"

Compared with the old XC60, the new model adopts 3D mirror LOGO, which is more stereoscopic as a whole. The air intake grille is also embedded with black decorative strips. I think blackening is a trend now, but the overall look is still very trendy. Of course, the new models will still be divided into the luxury version and the sports version. As for how to distinguish them, just look at the net.

Headlights are still the familiar hammer of Raytheon. Needless to say, you can definitely recognize them 50 meters away. Don’t worry about the brightness, automatic headlights is also standard, and the adaptive high beam appears on the high gear.

In addition to the changes in the grille, the front enclosure of the luxury model has also been upgraded more exquisitely. Needless to say, such a change has brought out the overall sense of youth.

The overall feeling of the side is still the same, and the window changes from big to small to form an upward posture, which makes the whole car feel ready to go. The body size is 4708/1902/1658, and the wheelbase is 2865 mm.

The style of the rim has changed compared with the old one. The double five-spoke design looks very harmonious. With the Pirelli P ZERO tire with the size of 235/55 R19, the tire pays more attention to grip. The current market price of this tire is about 1200 yuan/piece, which is not expensive from the price point of view and belongs to the normal level.

"New Volvo XC60"

"Old Volvo XC60"

The rear tail, which is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, looks familiar. The rear taillight of Viking Axe also has strong recognition. It uses LED light source, but the hidden exhaust really makes me feel a little too low-key. But fortunately, there is no fake exhaust, otherwise it feels too auto parts city.

"New Volvo XC60"

"Old Volvo XC60"

Entering the car, a familiar style came to my face. Some people say that Volvo, as a luxury brand, why can’t the interior be luxurious? To be honest, I don’t know, but one thing is certain, the workmanship and the use of environmental protection materials are really commendable, and everyone should know that the Nordic wind direction is so simple.

The wooden decorative board running through the center console looks very advanced, which is also in line with the simple style of the new Volvo XC60. As I said at the beginning, this car needs you to go through the details to find the smell.

The full LCD finally comes standard with 12.3 inches. Hearing this, does the owner of the old XC60 feel a little unfair? In addition, there is more information on the screen as a whole, including full-screen navigation, which is very convenient for daily use.

The big screen standing in the middle is familiar to everyone, and most functions of the vehicle can be operated through this screen. Compared with the old model, the overall operation order has changed. For example, the safety auxiliary configuration tiled on the page on the old models can be triggered only by clicking the small sign on the lower right, and it needs to be adapted for the first time.

However, compared with the old models, the new Volvo XC60 has added a lot of third-party software, such as Huawei Assistant and Tmall Elf. Take the Tmall Elf as an example. Simply put, it is similar to Xiaomi’s "Little Love Classmate". The car can be connected with household appliances, so as to realize remote control.

But my favorite is the voice interaction system. The voice interaction of the new XC60 comes from Iflytek, and the recognition degree is still very accurate. You just need to shout "Hello, Xiaowo", which can realize navigation, weather query, air ticket query, food query, hotel query, air conditioning control and so on. And I found that voice control is very suitable for those elderly friends. It doesn’t matter if you can’t operate the car, just say it.

The crystal lever also appeared on the new Volvo XC60 this time, which looks more refined as a whole, and it is a good thing that the whole system comes standard with electronic lever. The most intuitive feeling is that it is more convenient to use. Of course, it also provides a manual mode, and the electronic lever can be moved to the left.

In addition to the car, the top reading light has also been completely changed to touch-control operation. Obviously, the buttons are gone, and the whole is more concise. Moreover, the control of the sunroof sunshade is very interesting, just sliding in the groove of the rectangular square.

According to different models, the new Volvo XC60 also provides different stereos. The model of this test drive is equipped with Harman Kardon audio, and the overall sound quality is very good. However, I still prefer the Baohua Weijian audio on the T8 version. Both the treble and bass are handled well, and the surround effect is very shocking.

As a medium-sized SUV, panoramic sunroof is an essential configuration. After opening, the lighting in the car can be improved, and with the panoramic skylight, long-distance travel will feel very pleasant.

The seat is wrapped in leather, which is very wide and comfortable to sit on. The ergonomics is very good. And when you adjust the seat, the central control screen will also appear the corresponding adjustment method, so you can also adjust the seat angle through the central control screen.

The height of the experiencer is 183cm, and the seat is adjusted to the lowest level and comes to the driver’s seat. The overall performance is very good, and there is no sense of oppression. Moreover, the spacious seat is also a boon for friends who are fatter.

With the front seats adjusted, the experiencer comes to the back row, with four fingers in the head space and two fists in the leg space, which is enough for a medium-sized SUV, and the back row is also equipped with independent air conditioning and Type-C interface.

The transverse width and longitudinal width of the trunk are very good. After the second row of seats are put down, the space is further expanded, and there is no problem in carrying some goods every day. Moreover, the car is also equipped with air suspension, and the trunk can be adjusted. You just need to click the button on the right side of the trunk.

As can be seen from the photo, there are only four fingers in the lowest state, and two fingers in the highest state. This can still be of great help to the daily handling of goods, especially some female friends should like it very much.

The new Volvo XC60 is equipped with 2.0T+48V power combination. At present, the pure fuel version is divided into B4 and B5 engines. The B5 model tested today has a maximum power of 250 HP (in addition, the motor can provide an additional 14 HP) and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, matching the 8-speed automatic manual transmission.

To say what this Volvo XC60 feels like in terms of dynamic feeling, we must first talk about the performance of 48V hybrid. The most intuitive feeling is that it becomes quiet. Whether you start the vehicle or start at the daily traffic lights, it is difficult for you to notice the existence of the engine. Therefore, this new Volvo XC60 also cancels the automatic start-stop function, which is actually a good thing for most drivers, because automatic start-stop is sometimes very annoying, I believe everyone understands. In addition, the new Volvo XC60 will greatly improve its fuel economy.

In the actual driving process, the overall adjustment of the throttle is still highly consistent with the old one, with moderate sensitivity, which is very suitable for most consumers. Of course, after the throttle goes to the end, the overall sense of acceleration is also very fast, and the overall response of the gearbox is also very good. It is also relatively neat when downshifting. When cruising normally, the gearbox will actively rise to the highest gear.

The feeling of hanging the whole body is a bit hard, but the shock filtering effect is relatively simple, and some small gullies can be easily solved. The chassis is also relatively compact, which is a bit like the style of a German car. Of course, this brand-new Volvo XC60 is still not suitable for too intense driving, after all, the positioning is biased towards home.

Turning to the whole is still a light feeling, which is very suitable for female friends. No matter whether it’s a normal turn or a U-turn, it won’t feel very hard. But personally, I don’t like this feeling very much. I always feel that steering is heavy and driving is more leisurely, but it varies from person to person.

After talking for a long time, I believe some friends will also ask, what are the feelings of different driving modes? I’m really sorry, the new XC60 has cancelled the choice of driving mode, so you don’t have to consider how to choose the mode in different road conditions in the future. In fact, the manufacturer also explained that the purpose of doing so is also to be concise and convenient. Although I think this is a bit inappropriate, because almost all competing products at the same level are equipped with multiple driving modes. But actually, when we think about it, it seems that we really don’t adjust the driving mode often when we drive every day.

It is also worth mentioning that the navigation assistance function of the new XC60. In fact, it is equipped on the old models, which is simply automatic driving. It is very responsible to say that this set of navigation assistance functions is remarkable and very accurate in the same class. All you need to do is adjust the distance from the front car, set the speed, and leave the rest to the new XC60. Of course, if your hands leave the steering wheel for a long time, the car will automatically give an alarm. Moreover, its navigation aid is very suitable for hot noon, because it can avoid traffic accidents caused by drowsiness.

Finally, NVH, some old car owners may think that XC60 is not sound-proof, but think about it, how can it be very sound-proof with so many environmentally friendly materials? However, after driving the new XC60 today, I feel that the overall performance is normal, and there is no such feeling of resonance. If you have to say, the tire noise is a bit loud, but there is nothing you can do about it. After all, P ZERO is not a silent tire.

Summary: The biggest change of the new Volvo XC60 is the car system and the brand-new power combination. From the product point of view, its strength has really improved a lot, and being more intelligent is a big change this time. But some places have indeed been simplified. Some people say yes, but others sayno. After all, turnips and cabbages have their own tastes. But in all fairness, the growth of Volvo XC60 in recent years is obvious to all, and it can often be seen on the street, which also shows that consumers recognize this car. And I think the friends who buy XC60 must have taken a fancy to its safety, environmental protection and price. As for this new XC60, what is the market feedback? Let’s wait and see!

Inventory of the hottest hybrid and pure electric vehicles at Guangzhou Auto Show 2020

Near the end of 2020, as the last grand finale of this year, the 18th Guangzhou Auto Show is in full swing.

In addition to the new generation of fuel models, or the first appearance, in the auto show with the theme of "New Technology, New Life", new energy models are naturally not inferior, and they have truly achieved high-standard and full-brand participation. Next, let’s take a look at the popular plug-in models and pure electric models at the Guangzhou Auto Show.

Gac Toyota weilanda PHEV

Faw Toyota RAV4 PHEV

As we all know, Toyota’s hybrid is a clean stream in the powertrain. Thanks to the dual-motor and Atkinson cycle engine, the hybrid power output of Toyota is extremely rapid, and the fuel consumption is still very low.

However, the small flaw of this powertrain is that although its power output is fast, its ultimate power and secondary acceleration ability are slightly insufficient. As a result, Toyota’s PHEV model came into being. In fact, the biggest highlight of the car is the power system. It is understood that the car is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine and an electric motor, of which the maximum horsepower of the engine is 178 horsepower, and the comprehensive output horsepower of the whole powertrain is 306 horsepower. It only takes 6.6 seconds to accelerate 100 kilometers. In addition, according to the official information, the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of this car is 2.6L, while the pure electric cruising range is 63km, so the fuel economy is really good.

Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Willanda PHEV and FAW RAV4 PHEV are actually more like high-performance versions of their respective fuel versions. According to official data, the acceleration of the two cars can reach 7 seconds, which is already a very excellent result. Plug-in features also make them more economical in short battery life.

NO.2

Byd Qin PLUS

The 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show officially opened today. BYD Company released its latest new energy hybrid car-Qin PLUS. The design of this car can be described as the same as that of BYD’s main model "Han", but as a new car, there are still some brand-new design concepts, and the whole car looks younger and more dynamic.

The car adopts BYD’s latest hybrid technology and is equipped with a 1.5L high-efficiency engine dedicated to Xiaoyun-Plug-in. The thermal efficiency of the whole car has reached an astonishing 43% and the compression ratio is as high as 15.5:1. Such an excellent result can be called one of the mass production engines with the highest thermal efficiency in the world.At the same time, as the core component of DM-i super hybrid technology, this engine can ensure that the fuel consumption of the car is as low as 3.8L/100KM. In the ideal state of full oil and full electricity, this Qin PLUS can travel more than 1,000 km, and drivers can completely abandon mileage anxiety and realize mileage.Freedom.

BYD has made great moves this year, from the introduction of blade batteries to the release of a 1.5L plug-in hybrid engine with a thermal efficiency as high as 43%. It seems that this brand is gradually becoming China’s "Sony", and consumers are upgrading its renewal with the most black technology configuration. BYD Qin PLUS should be just the beginning.

Mercedes-benz GLE 350 e plug-in hybrid version

At the Guangzhou Auto Show in 2020, Mercedes-Benz announced that its GLE 350 e 4MATIC plug-in hybrid coupe SUV was officially launched, and only one configuration model was launched, with a price of 828,800 yuan. The biggest change of the new car was the power system, which adopted the third generation plug-in hybrid technology of Mercedes-Benz, and the pure electric cruising range under NEDC working conditions exceeded 100 kilometers.

The new car listed this time adopts the same design language as the ordinary fuel version, and the large slip back design of the coupe version takes into account both aesthetics and practicality. The front air intake grille with all over the sky adopts concave design, and the middle is filled with large-size Mercedes-Benz trident star and thick transverse spokes. The front enclosure under the air intake grille is exaggerated and aggressive, but the vents are sealed, and the details are exactly the same as those of the fuel version.

From the interior, the Mercedes-Benz GLE coupe SUV is basically the same as the current Mercedes-Benz GLE, and the car is equipped with a dual 12.3-inch large screen with integrated design. The size of the air conditioning outlet on the left side is exaggerated, and the right side is symmetrical with the left side and decorated with the same size, which makes the big screen in the car look more harmonious and unobtrusive. The design of air conditioning control area is quite long and narrow, with piano key buttons, which is very stylish.

The biggest difference between the GLE 350 e 4MATIC coupe SUV and the ordinary version is the power system. On the basis of the 2.0T gasoline engine, it also adopts the third generation plug-in hybrid technology of Mercedes-Benz, and the pure electric cruising range under the NEDC comprehensive working condition standard exceeds 100 kilometers. Both AC and DC charging methods are supported. Under the condition of 60 kW DC charging, it takes 20 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%.

NO.1

Saic Volkswagen ID.4X/ faw-Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ

As the representative of the most intelligent, digital and cutting-edge technology of Volkswagen brand, its sister model SAIC Volkswagen ID.4X VS FAW-Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ will naturally not miss this Guangzhou Auto Show. In terms of appearance, the width of the front bumper of the two cars is slightly different, while the body and rear are almost the same.

In the interior, the ID4.CROZZ of FAW-Volkswagen completely inherited the configuration and design of the European version, while the ID4.X of SAIC-Volkswagen was partially adjusted and updated according to the needs of users.

In terms of performance configuration, both models are equipped with version 4.0 of Smart Car Federation, L2+ intelligent assisted driving system and ternary lithium battery pack from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. The maximum power is 150kW, 240Ps, the peak torque is 310N·m, the maximum speed is 160km/h, and the battery life can exceed 500 km.

The advent of the two cars is undoubtedly the foundation stone for the Volkswagen brand to open the era of pure electric. The compact electric SUV model will be officially launched in March next year. I believe it is worthy of everyone’s expectation, and it is worthy of being a quality choice regardless of the north and south.

NO.2

Dongfeng Honda M-NV

Many people are not familiar with M-NV, but they have heard of X-NV. It is a pure electric small SUV from Dongfeng Honda, and the protagonist M-NV listed at Guangzhou Auto Show today is based on it. Since Guangqi Honda updated VE-1 and launched VE-1+ and VE-1S+, it is reasonable for Dongfeng Honda to release M-NV with the help of the same platform. With the listing of M-NV, two versions of the new car have been launched, of which the Shang Cheng version costs 149,800 yuan and the Shang Yi version costs 159,800 yuan.

In terms of appearance, the new car has been greatly modified, adopting the round LOGO of Siming brand, and adopting an integrated streamlined design as a whole, continuing Dongben’s exclusive double-swallow-wing grille with willow-shaped through LED headlights, giving people a radical and tense sensory experience. At the same time, the new car also retains the side door handle that is popular with consumers.

In terms of performance, the maximum power reaches 120Kw, 163ps, and the maximum torque is 280Nm. Equipped with ternary lithium battery from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, the NEDC has a battery life of 480 kilometers and an acceleration of 9.3s seconds, which is also outstanding in power consumption and driving control.

I believe that the listing of the new M-NV will undoubtedly provide consumers with a better choice when choosing pure electric vehicles.

NO.3

Volvo XC40 RECHARGE

At this Guangzhou Auto Show, Volvo brand also launched a pure electric vehicle-Volvo XC40 RECHARGE. With this appearance, the new car was officially put on sale, with a price of 357,000 yuan.

Volvo XC40 RECHARGE adopts a two-color body design with a white body and a blackened roof, which is more energetic. Similar to the fuel version, the new car outlines the outstanding texture with many detailed lines; The difference is that the new car has a charging port at the front and rear parts on the left.

As for the car, the new car uses the "Android Automotive OS" system developed by Google, and has been upgraded to a certain extent, which is in line with users’ daily usage habits.

At the same time, many functions and configurations of the new car are also based on the XC40 fuel version. XC40 RECHARGE adopts CMA platform architecture, equipped with front and rear dual-motor systems, and matched with a 78kWh battery pack. The maximum power is about 300kW, the peak torque is about 660N·m, and the comprehensive cruising range is about 400km.

The brand-new Volvo XC40 RECHARGE brings many indicators, such as official direct sales mode, electric vehicle safety technology configuration, iCPU intelligent interconnection system and so on, which bring our consumers a relatively novel car purchase and car use experience. The avant-garde and elegant design of the new model really makes us shine, and its later market performance is worth looking forward to!

NO.4

R automobile MARVEL-R

When it comes to independent new energy vehicles, people always think of BYD and GAC New Energy, but in fact, due to the strong strength of SAIC, SAIC Roewe R automobile brand also has strong comprehensive competitiveness. At Guangzhou Auto Show, Marvel R, the brand’s heavyweight new car, announced the pre-sale price of 220,000 yuan, so let’s get a sneak peek.

The shape of MARVEL R follows the design concept of "light around the world" and pays attention to the creation of science fiction. Its front face adopts the popular split headlight design, and the penetrating LED strip has the functions of daytime running light and turn signal, which has a strong sense of science and technology.

The connection between the side and the rear of the car makes the overall body feel round, full and powerful visual impression. It is reported that in terms of interior decoration, the overall theme of "Arrowhead" is chosen, which is simple and elegant in one go.

MARVEL R’s interior adopts a combination of screen and physical buttons. The oversized 19.4-inch screen is the crowning touch, and the highly integrated scientific and technological electronic knob below reflects the scientific and technological beauty from the future. Although the overall design tends to be simple, the materials still maintain a high standard, and a large area of soft materials and leather packages reveal a sense of luxury in science and technology. In the power part, the official data has not been released yet.

In 2018, SAIC Roewe launched the mid-to high-end model SAIC Roewe MARVEL X, and the new car is positioned in a medium-sized pure electric SUV. However, due to its brand positioning and price factors, the performance of the new car in the market at that time was poor, and the sales volume was relatively bleak. Since then, SAIC Roewe has never launched a mid-to high-end pure electric vehicle. 

To some extent, SAIC Roewe’s bid-changing strategy also wants to distinguish the brand positioning from the previous models. The appearance of SAIC Roewe MARVEL-R represents Shanghai Roewe’s determination to re-launch the mid-to-high-end, and can the MARVEL-R and the brand-new R-mark that have changed its "appearance" bring better market performance to SAIC Roewe? We will also wait and see.

NO.5

Guangzhou automobile ai’ an Aion Y

Guangzhou Auto Show in 2020 is undoubtedly a memorable day for Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an brand. On the 20th, GAC New Energy officially changed its name to GAC Ai ‘an, and was established as an independent brand alongside GAC Chuanqi. This move is undoubtedly an affirmation of Ai ‘an.

AION Y is an A-class intelligent pure electric SUV. This auto show only shows the exterior design of the new car. Details about interior details, vehicle size, power parameters and cruising range have not been announced. Judging from the configuration information currently available, the new car continues to be the main selling point of intelligence.

In the design of this car, while ensuring the trendy and futuristic feeling, it also adds a bit of round and moist sprouting, closed grille design, and folded-wing headlights with spiral structure on both sides, which is also called "Angel’s Wings" by the official.

Among them, the blue-orange color scheme and the petal-shaped wheel hub outlined by avant-garde and sharp lines are also very eye-catching. On the whole, it can be called the highest recognition in the whole audience. In terms of intelligent configuration, AION Y will be equipped with ADiGO 3.0 automatic driving system, one-button remote parking in full scene and the world’s leading memory parking function. In addition, the vehicle is also equipped with voice-controlled video shooting, 5G light-speed second-pass car video APP release, car games and KTV. 

The power information has not been announced this time, but according to the official disclosure, relying on the ultra-long mileage reliability test accumulated by GAC Ai ‘an from the network car, AION Y will be a car that can’t be worn out.

Summary of Guangzhou Auto Show

The 18th Guangzhou International Automob

As far as Guangzhou Auto Show is concerned, although it is only a few months away from Beijing Auto Show, judging from the number of new and upgraded models, in order to meet the car demand of north and south consumers, major brands are absolutely full of intentions.

Mina, a fighting fish dancer, was rumored by her peers! Car-scrapping said: it must pay a huge price.

Original title: "Mina", a fighting fish dancer, encountered rumors from peers! Car-scrapping said: it must pay a huge price.

The fighting fish dancer [Mina] encountered rumors from peers! Car-scrapping said: it must pay a huge price.

As we all know, the live broadcast industry is today’s"Live less rice and earn more money every day"The typical representative has attracted the influx of countless handsome men and beautiful women.

Although the anchors and online celebrity of the major live broadcast platforms have changed rapidly and the involution is serious, the super popular dancer in the Betta Dance Area[Mina]Still occupying the section for a long time, my sister’s throne stands still, and she is the first choice for the goddess in the hearts of countless old drivers. (Ahem, it is worth mentioning that, unlike other female anchors, Mina not only has a large wave of male fans, but also attracts a considerable number of female fans.)

As the saying goes-a tall tree catches/invites/inspires the wind―a person in a high position/with great reputation is liable to be attacked. Recently, Mina, as the T0-level online celebrity anchor of the platform and even the whole network, has also encountered such things as [a small group], [a foolish girl bully] and [Zhou Shuyi] that others have encountered before.Malicious rumorEvents.
