Xiaokang shares were investigated by 87 institutions: only about 8,000 SF5s were delivered in 2021, and the reason for the small delivery was mainly due to chip problems (with survey questions and ans

  () The Record Form of Investor Relations Activities was released on January 8th, and the company was investigated by 87 institutions on January 7th, 2022. The types of institutions are QFII, insurance companies, others, fund companies, overseas institutions, securities companies and Sunshine private equity institutions.

  The main contents of investor relations activities are introduced:

  First, introduce the company’s situation. Xiaokang and Huawei create a new model of deep cross-border cooperation in joint business. On April 19th, 2021, we started a mobile phone shop to buy cars. On December 23rd, Huawei released a new mobile phone and our new car at the same time, which was the first time that two smart terminals, a mobile phone and a car, were released at the same conference. The conference was a great success. It cooperated with Huawei and has a strong online digital marketing channel, especially in the core business district, which has a large number of offline store resources and is convenient for users to reach. We pursue quality delivery, adopt experiential marketing, and adopt a new sales model based on our vast offline store resources, which has a good response and strong customer purchase intention. We think this new sales model is the development trend of intelligent electric vehicles.

  Second, explain the company’s current hot topic in the market (1) Xiaokang initiated a new model of joint cross-border cooperation.

  On the question of whether Xiaokang is a foundry, we made it clear that we didn’t do it before and now, let alone a foundry. Eighteen years ago, before we entered the automobile industry, the cooperation with Dongfeng Group realized the first successful cross-border of Xiaokang shares, and Xiaokang shares did not work as a foundry. According to the strategic agreement, joint business cooperation agreement and related agreements signed by us and Huawei, we and Huawei are long-term partners. From R&D to manufacturing to delivery of automobile business, the company is responsible for R&D, manufacturing, delivery, service and creating user experience in the whole life cycle; Huawei is deeply involved in product definition, quality control and channel sales.

  The cross-border cooperation between Xiaokang and Huawei is deeply successful. The teams of the two sides have worked hard day and night and invested huge manpower and resources. Now and in the future, there is no reason for the two sides not to cooperate.

  (2) Regarding whether SF5 is discontinued:

  SF5 and Wujie M5 are both models of Celestial Company, and the company will continue to introduce new models to meet the needs of more users. As far as the company is concerned, we will not take the initiative to stop production. As long as users have demand, we will produce and deliver it. That’s the case with SF5. We will not take the initiative to stop production. The price of SF5 and Wujie M5 are different, so users can choose. We give the choice to users! Orders will be produced, delivered and served, and Cyrus will serve every car and every new and old user! Whether SF5 or M5, we will achieve high-quality delivery.

  (III) Question and answer session of investors

  Q: A new model of cooperation between Huawei and Xiaokang emerged at the end of the 21st century. Can you introduce the cooperation model in detail and how to learn from each other’s strengths?

  A: The cooperation with Huawei is cross-industry cooperation. Huawei Terminal Company is well aware of customer needs. As a mature vehicle enterprise, Xiaokang has experience in automobile research and development, manufacturing, sales and service. The cooperation between the two parties has created a precedent in the industry and produced a lot of valuable experience. This model is also the development trend and future of the smart electric vehicle industry, and it has also achieved some success. Before Xiaokang was engaged in automobile and () cooperation, Xiaokang shares crossed the border into the field of micro-cars. Since we entered this industry in 2003, there were many friends, and now there are only three enterprises left in that year: Wuling, Changan and Xiaokang. This shows that we have experience in cooperation with other enterprises, and we also have a successful experience base. Xiaokang is a modern private enterprise with high efficiency. The cooperation with Huawei over the past year has also proved the success of an efficient and standardized private enterprise mechanism. We launched a new model in March last year, and everyone saw our M5 debut in December last year. I believe that the effect of cross-border cooperation will begin to be reflected in the first quarter of this year, and batch delivery will begin in March this year. We are very confident about the sales data in the second and fourth quarters.

  The monthly sales target of the new energy automobile industry is over 10,000 yuan. We think this is the threshold sales volume of new energy vehicles in 2022, which is our goal, and the threshold sales volume will be higher in the future. At present, it usually takes a certain time for the sales of high-end electric vehicles to climb. We have full confidence and confidence in our products and channels, and hope to achieve the sales scale achieved by others in five or six years within two years.

  Q: The delivery volume of SF5 last year was less than the market expectation. What did the company think?

  A: Only about 8,000 SF5s were delivered in 2021, and the reason for the small delivery was mainly due to chip problems. The chip will affect our delivery mainly because our owner of SF5 is developed in the United States, so he uses more American electronic materials, which has been greatly affected.

  Q: Can you tell us about the follow-up vehicle planning?

  A: We have now launched the M5, and it is expected that a new large SUV will be launched at the end of the second quarter or the beginning of the third quarter in the middle of the year. I’ve been driving the M5 myself for some time, and I’m confident that it’s a car that can’t be separated once I get started. We are also developing a new large-size SUV, which will be released in 2023.

  Q: What is the pace of the subsequent launch of pure electric vehicles?

  A: There will be pure electric vehicles coming out this year. Because in 23 years, Shanghai’s extended journey can’t get a green card. Considering these market demands, we will have a pure electric version of M5.

  Q: When will the M5 be officially delivered? What is the output scale?

  A: There will be small batch delivery in February, and batch delivery will start in March. Wenjie M5 is mainly produced in Liangjiang Factory in Chongqing, which can produce 30 sets per hour, and its automation efficiency is still very high. This factory can produce 15,000 units a month. The models in the second half of the year will be produced in another factory in Chongqing, which will not affect the production capacity of M5.

  Q: Will Huawei cooperate with other car companies?

  A: Although it’s not up to us to decide who Huawei will cooperate with, our cooperation is already deep. As mentioned earlier, Xiaokang Co., Ltd. is a modern private enterprise, and its efficient and flexible mechanism is our advantage, so it is difficult for other manufacturers to reproduce it in a short time. Our cooperation is our common choice.

  Q: Why is Huawei’s self-driving system not reflected in the M5? Will it be reflected in subsequent models?

  A: Huawei’s autopilot is different from Tesla’s autopilot. Huawei’s auto-driving is vehicle-road coordination, which requires vehicle-road coordination. Without road coordination, the auto-driving of the car cannot be played out. Tesla’s auto-driving is self-adaptive auto-driving, and the road is only an aid. The contents of China’s road regulations on autonomous driving are still under study, and we also hope that China’s roads will be opened to autonomous driving as soon as possible. Auto-driving vehicle-road coordination is not only to ensure that my car does not hit the wall, but also to ensure that other people’s cars do not hit me. This high-order auto-driving technology of vehicle-road coordination is very advanced and needs time data verification. Our follow-up models will definitely have Huawei’s advanced autonomous driving.

  Q: What do you think of the present integrated die casting technology? Will you consider using integrated die casting technology for any vehicle model in the future? Is there a die casting factory or die casting machine factory in communication?

  A: It is expected that from the end of this year to the first half of next year, we will realize integrated die-casting body. Now it has entered the stage of comprehensive research and development. This technology will reduce the weight of the car body and increase the output. Because at present, the front section and the rear section are provided for welding, the technology will be integrated aluminum alloy die casting, which will greatly improve the production efficiency;

  Chongqing Xiaokang Industrial Group Co., Ltd. is a manufacturing enterprise integrating R&D, manufacturing, sales and service of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, powertrains and other automobile parts. The company currently has complete vehicle brands such as SERES, Dongfeng Scenery, Dongfeng Xiaokang, DFSK, Ruichi, etc. The main product pedigree includes SUV, MPV, mini-car and core parts. Among them, the whole vehicle products cover intelligent electric vehicles and fuel vehicles, and the core components include powertrain and three electric products with displacement from 1.5t to 2.0t..

AITO asked the M7 declaration map to be exposed, with its own Huawei system, and the arrow is on the line!

At the end of last year, Celeste and Huawei officially released the AITO Jiejie brand, and then launched the brand’s first model, the Jiejie M5. This year, Huawei officially launched the new model, the Jiejie M7 again. Recently, the M7 declaration map was exposed, and it was also positioned as a medium and large SUV, which had a slight collision with Li ONE in the same model. Let’s take a look at the works of the big brother in science and technology in the automobile industry.

In terms of appearance, most of the design elements of M7, including inverted trapezoidal grille and penetrating taillights, remain the design of M5. The front and rear door handles of the new car are designed in a hidden way, which is also a popular design technique for new energy vehicles at present, creating an intelligent and scientific effect. The overall body shape is smooth and elegant, but it lacks some sense of science and technology compared with some new models on the market, and it has also been vomited by some netizens that the design is "too old-fashioned". Compared with Li ONE, it is more scientific and technological. It seems that the M7 is more suitable for business people who pursue large space or car owners who prefer calm models.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the M7 are 5020/1945/1775 mm and the wheelbase is 2820 mm, which is close to the body size of Li ONE. The new car will also adopt the 6-seat layout of 2+2+2. After all, in the new energy market, large-size 6-seat SUVs are still very popular. However, Li ONE, as the biggest competitor of the M7, is also a 6-seat large-size SUV of the new energy model, and its size is extremely close. I wonder if it will be affected. In addition, the rear row of the new car is also designed with a rear privacy glass configuration to make the car more private.

In terms of power, the M7 is a hybrid electric vehicle equipped with h15rt 1.5T four-cylinder extended range engine. The maximum power is 92kW, and the fuel consumption of engine wltc is 1.05l/100km. Li ONE is also equipped with an extended-range hybrid system, which consists of a 1.2T engine and a brand-new drive motor, and is equipped with an ideal self-developed Li OS system and a millimeter-wave radar with driving assistance. Although there is no official data on battery capacity and battery life, the battery life of M7 will not be weaker than that of Li ONE, and the power system is really hard to tell.

At present, the interior of Wenjie M7 has not been made public, but it is understood that the new car will adopt the simple scientific and technological style similar to Wenjie M5, full LCD instrument and an oversized central control panel, and it has a built-in HarmonyOS OS intelligent cockpit. Presumably, its powerful ecological function will also bring different surprise experiences to Huawei’s new and old users.

From the price point of view, it is estimated that the selling price of M7 will be above 300,000, while the guiding price of Li ONE is around 349,800. If M7 can be lower than this selling price, the competitiveness will be more imaginative.

Although the official has only released the appearance and some dynamic information at present, judging from these data and the performance of M5, the launch of M7 is still worth our expectation. After all, it is a brand launched under the leadership of Huawei with strong scientific and technological strength. Let’s wait and see.

Where is the difficulty in mass production of solid-state batteries?

    Solid-state batteries not only have high safety and high energy density, but also have excellent "high and low temperature" performance. All kinds of advantages make people look forward to them, and they are regarded as the next generation of power batteries, and also the strategic commanding heights for countries to compete. However, at present, all three technical routes have corresponding basic shortcomings that need to be solved urgently, and the cost is also an insurmountable hurdle for enterprises.

  Toyota Motor Corporation recently announced at the technical briefing that it has found good materials to commercialize solid-state batteries from 2027 to 2028 and put pure electric vehicles equipped with all-solid-state batteries on the market. However, because Toyota did not publish convincing technical details, it caused public opinion to question.

  Solid-state batteries not only have high safety and high energy density, but also have excellent "high and low temperature" performance. All kinds of advantages make people look forward to them, and they are regarded as the next generation of power batteries, and also the strategic commanding heights for countries to compete. Thirty years ago, Oak Ridge National Laboratory claimed to have built a solid-state battery, but it is a pity that it has not been mass-produced so far. In the past two years, with the popularity of new energy vehicles around the world, many companies have reported the progress of mass production of solid-state batteries, but after the news was exposed, there was no more.

  According to the material system, solid-state batteries can be divided into three technical routes. Japan and South Korea are betting on sulfide systems. In Europe, the main route is polymer, while in China, the main route is oxide. Among them, Japanese and Korean companies, represented by Toyota, Samsung SDI and Hitachi, have profound technology accumulation and obvious first-Mover advantage, and the trend of joint research and development is obvious. However, these three technical routes all have corresponding basic shortcomings that need to be solved urgently.

  Specifically, sulfide electrolyte has poor air stability, and when it is exposed to air, it will produce toxic gas. At the same time, with the destruction of electrolyte structure and the attenuation of electrochemical performance, the synthesis, storage, transportation and post-treatment of sulfide electrolyte need to rely heavily on inert gas or drying chamber. At room temperature, the ionic conductivity of polymer electrolyte is low, which makes the charging of polymer solid-state battery need to be completed in high temperature environment, which greatly limits its commercialization. Most oxide electrolytes have wider electrochemical stability "window" and better oxidation stability, but in order to ensure good interface contact between rigid oxide electrolytes and cathode materials, it is often necessary to sinter at high temperature, otherwise it will lead to serious interface chemical side reactions. In addition, some oxide electrolytes also have the problem of lithium dendrite growth.

  At the same time, cost is also a difficult hurdle for enterprises to overcome. At present, the cost of semi-solid battery is much higher than that of commercialized liquid battery. According to industry research and calculation, taking NCM811 liquid battery and NCM811 semi-solid battery as examples, the cost of semi-solid battery increases by about 80% compared with that of liquid battery. Among them, the cost of solid electrolyte is the main new cost and the main cost in semi-solid battery, accounting for about 50%. Due to the change of electrolyte material, production process and lack of experience in product quality control, the cost of all-solid battery is higher than that of semi-solid battery.

  There are five main indicators to measure whether a power battery can be mass-produced, namely, energy density, charge-discharge rate performance, cost, safety and cycle life. The laboratory research results of power batteries generally make a major breakthrough in one or several indicators at a certain stage, and it is possible to mass-produce them only when they meet the requirements of five indicators. In other words, as far as the current research and development progress of major enterprises is concerned, solid-state batteries seem to be "windy", but in fact they are "long and long", and the mass production is still quite difficult.

  Compared with structural innovation, the improvement of battery materials is slower and indeed more difficult. However, being difficult does not mean not doing it. We often say that it is reasonable to do the "difficult and correct thing". From the perspective of technological change, the technological innovation of power battery has played a major role in promoting the development of automobile electrification. The reason why China’s new energy automobile industry can lead the world is that we have surpassed the power battery, and a global power battery giant like Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited was born.

  In the industrial transformation driven by the goal of "double carbon", the innovation of power battery has become the key to strengthen the competition level of new energy vehicles, build the national industrial competitiveness and stabilize the competitive advantage of enterprises. Whether it is the first country or the catch-up country of new energy vehicles, or the main enterprises of the power battery chain, they are all aiming at new technologies and laying out solid-state batteries. This is both a great challenge and a rare opportunity. Super-large-scale market advantage, leading industry-wide competitiveness and rising innovation make China more qualified to win the strategic commanding heights of power batteries.

Why is Extreme Yue 01 more sincere than Zhiji LS6?

  Extreme Yue 01 was officially listed, with an official price of 249,900. After seeing this price, many people will think that Yuejie 01 is more expensive than Zhiji LS6 and Tucki G6. Especially after Extreme Vietnam officially announced that it would buy out 19,900 high-end smart drivers, it undoubtedly aggravated the wait-and-see mood of users, because the smart driver LS6 next door has come standard, and the smart driver of Tucki G6 does not need to spend money. Suddenly, Extreme Yue 01 was labeled as "low intelligence-price ratio".

  This "strategic flicker" algorithm not only ignores the software and hardware advantages of the ultra-Yue 01 in intelligent driving and intelligent driving, but also ignores the small order rights of the ultra-Yue 01 and the car purchase rights of 70,000 yuan.

  One question: What are the comprehensive rights and interests provided by Extreme Yue 01? Compared with Zhiji LS6 and Tucki G6, where are the "intelligent price ratio" and "intelligent driving ratio" of Extreme Yue 01?

  In fact, if all kinds of rights and interests are added up, Extreme Yue 01 is only more expensive than Zhiji LS6 in 1000 yuan, and it can also enjoy the buyout high-level intelligent driving service. Coupled with Qualcomm’s new generation 8295 chip+dual NVIDIA Orin chip and 35.6-inch 6K integrated screen, isn’t this configuration and price fragrant?

  In terms of basic space, there is little difference between Ji Yue 01 and Zhi Ji LS6. Objectively speaking, Zhiji LS6 is a little taller and has the typical height of a traditional SUV. The extreme crossing 01 is a little lower and wider, belonging to the sports SUV figure. The biggest difference is that the wheelbase of Extreme Yue 01 reaches 3000mm, which is 50mm larger than that of Zhiji LS6 2950mm, which means that the space of Extreme Yue is a little bigger. The trunk volume of Zhiji LS6 is 596L, which can be expanded to 1571L after the rear seat is put down, while the data of Extreme Yue 01 are 710L and 2161L respectively.

  On the other hand, in terms of basic three electrical properties, the total power of the front and rear motors of Extreme Yue 01 is 400kW, while that of Zhiji LS6 is 396kW, and the power is smaller. In the zero-hundred-kilometer acceleration, the polar crossing was accelerated for 3.8 seconds, while Zhiji LS6 was accelerated for 3.48 seconds. The two models have won and lost each other, but the bigger gap is also reflected in the CDC shock absorber.

  The technical characteristics of CDC shock absorber are that it can realize millisecond monitoring and response ability, and can automatically adjust the suspension damping according to the road conditions. When the road conditions are good at high speed, the suspension will automatically harden and improve handling. In poor road conditions such as suburbs, the suspension automatically softens, improving comfort. The value of this configuration is far more direct and tangible than accelerating by a few tenths of a second.

  The first question: directly buy the lowest-equipped model, not choose smart driving, lose money?

  The starting price of Extreme Yue 01 is 249,900 yuan, and you can enjoy a deposit of 5,000 yuan to get a discount of 10,000 yuan, as well as a reward of 5,000 yuan for the recommended car purchase. The total discount is 10,000 yuan. That’s not counting. If the user participates in the pre-sale (small reservation) before October 27th, he/she will also enjoy an additional 10 times expansion bonus of 1,000 yuan, which can reach 10,000 yuan. In other words, it is equivalent to a discount of 19,000 yuan, and only 230,900 yuan can win the ultra-01 low-profile version. If the user happens to be a Tesla owner, then on the basis of 230,900 yuan, 20,000 yuan can be reduced, which is 228,900 yuan.

More than 1,000 yuan is more than 10,000 yuan+high configuration. Why is Extreme Yue 01 more sincere than Zhiji LS6 _fororder_image007

  Extreme Yue 01 also provides an optional fund of 15,000 yuan, which can be used to deduct any optional configuration. You can choose a comfortable suit with interior (including Nappa leather seat, massage and ventilation of main and auxiliary seats, suede roof, audio system of unit 18, and car fragrance system), or you can choose an endurance upgrade package or a smart driving package of 19,000 yuan, which will be discussed later.

  In addition, Extreme Yue 01 provides lifelong vehicle/three-electricity warranty, lifelong road rescue, free home charging or a certain amount of free charging for 2 years, and a 6-month free subscription to the advanced intelligent assisted driving function.

More than 1,000 yuan is more than 10,000 yuan+high configuration. Why is Extreme Yue 01 more sincere than Zhiji LS6 _fororder_image009

  Frankly speaking, the configuration of the entry-level model of Extreme Yue 01 has reached the configuration of the flagship model. Compared with Zhiji LS6, the Extreme Yue 01 is only 1000 yuan more expensive, but it has more drivers’ and drivers’ seat massage, suede roof, headrest audio, fragrance system, four electric doors, three-zone independent air conditioning, fatigue detection, free home charging or two-year free charging, lifetime warranty of the whole vehicle, three batteries and electricity, brand-new 8295 chips from Qualcomm+two Orin X chips from NVIDIA, and 35.6 inches without splicing.

More than 1,000 yuan is more than 10,000 yuan+high configuration. Why is Extreme Yue 01 more sincere than Zhiji LS6 _fororder_image011

  The comfortable package of the Extreme Yue 01 (equipped with Nappa leather/ventilation of two seats of the main driver and the auxiliary driver+electric massage/equipped with 18 speakers/car fragrance including the whole car’s suede roof/aluminum door trim/headrest sound of the main driver) is worth about 15,000 yuan.

  Life-long vehicle, three-power warranty and life-long road rescue are worth about 8,000 yuan. Free home filling pile or 2 years free charging, worth 7500 yuan. These are sent directly to the user when placing an order. The extra configuration of the ultra-01 has been very affordable.

More than 1,000 yuan is more than 10,000 yuan+high configuration. Why is Extreme Yue 01 more sincere than Zhiji LS6 _fororder_image013

  As for Zhiji LS6, intelligent driving comes standard. There are two sides to this matter. Zhiji LS6 intelligent driving belongs to castrated version, and it is equipped with a single Orin chip. Compared with the two Orin chips of Extreme Yue 01, the computing power of Zhiji LS6 is only 254TOPS, which is equivalent to half.

  The high-level intelligent driving of Extreme Yue 01 has rich functions, and ROBO Drive Max can be used when picking up the car, and there is no need to wait for the subsequent OTA. At present, ROBO Drive Max includes: point-to-point navigation assistance PPA+ parking service AVP+ROBO Drive full function.

  Even if you don’t buy ROBO Drive Max, you will get a free 6-month experience. In addition, ROBO Drive is equivalent to a rich ADSD assisted driving function, which is standard and free of charge.

  Point-to-point pilot-assisted PPA, with high-order intelligent driving assistance capability covering high-speed and urban scenes. When PPA is started, it can complete a series of functional scenes such as autonomous lane change overtaking, getting on and off ramps, obstacle avoidance in and between lanes at high speed and overhead. In urban roads, zebra crossings and traffic lights can be accurately identified, and driving tasks such as courtesy to pedestrians, unprotected left turn and avoiding non-motor vehicles can be completed.

  Extreme Yue 01 has achieved the world’s first voice control/parking support outside the vehicle. Parking service AVP can not only identify various types and complex parking spaces, but also support the distance of up to 2 kilometers. It can be used in both indoor and outdoor parking lots, and supports the parking of any parking space on the same floor to the entrance and exit of the parking lot.

More than 1,000 yuan is more than 10,000 yuan+high configuration. Why is Extreme Yue 01 more sincere than Zhiji LS6 _fororder_image015

  ROBO Drive includes many intelligent driving functions, such as lane keeping, automatic parking assistance, collision warning, lane departure warning, etc., which realizes the complete opening of cabin driving and supports voice-controlled intelligent driving, such as adjusting cruising speed, changing lanes and choosing parking spaces. At present, ROBO Drive functions are all standard, and now it covers the whole country, the whole city and the whole road, and it is free.

  The second question: it costs 19,900 yuan to buy out the smart car. If you choose smart car, will you lose money?

  Then, discuss whether it is worthwhile to drive intelligently. Many people see that it costs 19,900 yuan to buy out the smart car. Isn’t the car price calculated to be 249,900 yuan+19,900 yuan = 269,800 yuan? This algorithm does not take into account the car purchase rights provided by Extreme Yue 01, and belongs to a typical "strategic flicker" algorithm.

  First of all, it’s true that the buyout of smart driving costs 19,900 yuan. Deduction with the optional fund of 15,000 yuan, only 4,900 yuan is needed to buy out the high-level intelligent driving. That is to say, the price of Extreme Yue 01 after buyout is 230,900 yuan+4,900 yuan = 235,800 yuan.

  In this way, the price of Extreme Yue 01 after buying out Zhijia is less than 5,000 yuan more expensive than Zhiji LS6. However, compared with Zhiji LS6, Extreme Yue 01 has more free home-filled piles or two-year free charging, lifetime warranty for the whole vehicle and three electric appliances, brand-new 8295 chip from Qualcomm +2 pieces of Orin X from NVIDIA, four electric doors, fatigue detection, and a 35.6-inch 6K integrated screen without splicing. The value of these configurations is enough to cover three 5,000 yuan.

More than 1,000 yuan is more than 10,000 yuan+high configuration. Why is Extreme Yue 01 more sincere than Zhiji LS6 _fororder_image017

  Imagine how much money can be saved when the vehicle is used for 3-5 years. When selling an old car for a new one, how much can the whole car and the three-power lifetime warranty increase the value of the car?

  Talking about Qualcomm 8295 chip, this fast chip uses dual NPU, and the AI computing power is 8 times that of Qualcomm 8155, and 2 times that of the current flagship mobile phone Qualcomm 8GEN2 chip. This performance is enough to guarantee life-long use without card. Let’s look at the current mainstream 8155. Many cars have frequent interactive experiences when they are in a new car state. Referring to the problem that the Android system uses more cards, the model with 8155 will only use more cards later.

  In the future, when you want to sell a deadly smart car, how much is its value? Cars are bulky items with low replacement frequency, so whether the long-term value of smart cars should be reasonably evaluated.

  Finally, discuss the difference between extreme wisdom and wisdom.

  First of all, the ultra-high-level intelligent driving is richer in function than the intelligent driving, and there are more AVP parking service and voice parking outside the car.

  Secondly, the ultra-high-level intelligent driving is out of the box, and it can be used directly without waiting, which belongs to "buy early and enjoy early". The intelligent driving of Zhiji LS6 needs to wait for opening, which belongs to "buy early and wait early". As for when it will be opened, it depends on the official rhythm. Now that the wisdom is on fire, whether to choose to use it out of the box or wait for futures is a question that needs careful consideration.

More than 1,000 yuan is more than 10,000 yuan+high configuration. Why is Extreme Yue 01 more sincere than Zhiji LS6 _fororder_image019

  To put it simply, if you want to experience the sense of science and technology of the intelligent cockpit and the more advanced interactive experience, Extreme Yue 01 not only gives the Qualcomm 8295 chip, but also gives the 35.6-inch ultra-clear 6K real integrated screen, as well as more scientific and technological configuration and two-year free charging, which promotes the experience of the intelligent cockpit to a higher dimension. If you want to experience intelligent driving, Extreme Yue 01 can give an out-of-the-box intelligent driving experience. As for Zhiji LS6, although intelligent driving is standard, it needs to wait.

On Guangzhou Automobile Science and Technology Day, the solid-state battery that will not spontaneously ignite was officially released!

Earlier, Guangzhou Automobile held the 2024 Guangzhou Automobile Science and Technology Day, and released the unmanned pure visual intelligent driving system and the large-capacity all-solid-state power battery, both of which are the leading technologies in China.

No-graph pure vision intelligent driving system

We all know that most of the intelligent driving systems on the market at present are based on high-precision maps, but one problem with high-precision maps is that they are slow to update and have poor adaptability to complex road conditions such as sudden road repairs.

The intelligent driving system without map and pure vision is like giving a car "eyes", completely getting rid of the dependence on high-precision maps and perceiving the world like a human being. There is no complicated lidar, and a more concise and low-cost hardware system is used to realize a wider range of intelligent driving experience. At the same time, the intelligent driving system without map and pure vision also has the ability of continuous improvement and self-improvement and progress.

However, in my opinion, there are still limitations in the unmanned pure vision intelligent driving system. For example, in a thunderstorm with low visibility, or in the face of such an emergency as a "ghost probe", the pure vision scheme has the same visual blind spot as the human eye. Therefore, I personally guess that in the future, "multi-sensor fusion technology" and "map-free pure vision technology" will coexist, and they will not replace each other.

The unmanned pure vision intelligent driving system will be installed on the family car at a lower cost, so that the users of the family car can also have high-level intelligent driving, while the high-end models are still lidar+vision solutions. This technology will be officially loaded in 2026.

Large-capacity all-solid-state power battery

In addition to the unmanned visual intelligent driving system, another black technology is all-solid-state power battery. At present, the expected loading time of all-solid-state power battery in the industry is in 2030, and GAC announced that they plan to complete the loading of all-solid-state power battery in 2026, which is much faster than the industry standard.

So what are the advantages of all-solid-state power batteries? Its biggest advantage is that it increases the energy density of the battery and reduces the risk of spontaneous combustion.

According to the official information, the negative electrode adopts the third generation sponge silicon negative plate technology, that is, the "silicon" material, while the positive electrode adopts the solid-state positive electrode technology with high surface capacity, but the electrolyte that everyone is very concerned about has not been announced.

The overall energy density can reach more than 400Wh/kg, which is not particularly high. After all, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited has released a battery with a single energy density as high as 500Wh/kg before. Personally, it is expected that GAC will deliberately reduce the energy density for safety reasons.

According to the official data, the all-solid-state power battery of GAC does not explode in the hot box test at 200°C, and can maintain stable performance under extreme conditions such as-78°C dry ice and 90°C high temperature.

The announcement of these two technologies represents that GAC is continuing to deepen their technical strategy and demonstrates the strong R&D and innovation capabilities of GAC Group. However, the actual performance will not be known until the actual loading has been tried.

It is understood that LI’s core mission is to change travel with science and technology, and its vision is to become a leader in the field of automobile travel. Since its establishment, LI has been practicing this mission, insisting on full-stack self-research, and keeping 10% of its revenue for technology research and development every quarter, and has achieved many phased results.

At this year’s Shanghai Auto Show, LI released the "dual-energy strategy", which made great efforts in both "intelligence" and "electric energy" and entered a new stage of development. Reflected in the results, LI has built the first NOA scheme of the city based on the large model, which does not rely on high-precision maps; Around 5C Kirin battery, 800V high-voltage platform and 5C super-charged pile, the pure electric solution is optimized globally.

In addition, behind the rapid development of LI, the continuous upgrading of its organization also plays an important role. Li Xiang said: "(Building a car) This is a marathon, but every 4 kilometers of nodes will be eliminated. It is necessary to have long-term strategic strength and the ability to face short-term competitive elimination. The biggest challenge is its own organizational ability. "

In December last year, with the increase of new products, LI officially announced that its organizational structure had been adjusted from a vertical organizational structure to a matrix organizational structure. On the basis of the original two horizontal entity departments "Strategy Department" and "Product Department", five new entity departments were added, including commerce department, supply department, process department, organization department and finance department, which supported the management mode of LI and upgraded from a vertical functional organization to a matrix organization.

In the eyes of insiders, LI’s strategic focus, technical accumulation and organizational structure upgrading and adjustment have helped it stand out in the knockout stage of the automobile industry. "Technology, products, delivery capabilities, etc. are indispensable. Enterprises cannot have shortcomings, and the next elimination and involution will accelerate." Li Xiang said.

At the same time, LI continues to enrich the vehicle matrix. It is reported that MEGA, the flagship ideal of home technology in LI, will be officially released in December this year and will be delivered in February next year. In addition, the ideal L6 will also be listed next year. According to the plan, LI plans to achieve the goal of becoming the top luxury car brand in China market in 2024, and achieve the annual sales of 1.6 million vehicles by 2025.

What if there are only three readers left in online celebrity Bookstore?

  On July 6th, 2022, Beijing Youth Daily reported that online celebrity Bookstore withdrew from Beijing and left in a daze. Nearly ten months have passed, but the complaints that there is no way to spend stored-value cards after saying a few words and withdrawing from the store have intensified. Up to now, there are 6,986 matching results on the black cat complaint platform with "saying a few words" as the key word.

  On April 12, the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that more than 500,000 rents and property fees owed to Haidian Wukesong Huaxi LIVE Commercial Complex were still in an unresolved state. Regarding the complaints of member customers’ stored-value cards, Yanji’s customer service hotline in Chengdu Headquarters replied to the reporter of Beiqing Daily, saying, "Yanji’s personal mobile phone number is registered and recharged, and the member stored-value cards need customers to apply for card refund and refund to Yanji’s platform. After waiting for the scheduled processing, it is expected that the refund will be completed within 180 working days. The refund is handled by our company’s finance, and the refund will eventually be returned to the customer. Don’t worry about this. "

  Long term arrears

  Ten months after defaulting on more than 500,000 rental property fees, it is still on hold.

  According to public information, in 2006, the predecessor of the word — — Today’s reading bookstore was founded in Chengdu. Since 2008, today’s reading has entered the commercial center and expanded to Beijing, Shanghai, Kunming and other cities. Yanjiyou is positioned as an integrated store of urban innovation and cultural life, which mainly provides comprehensive cultural services for urban youth groups aged 18 to 40, and on this basis, provides new lifestyle products led by brand-new design for a new generation of young people, such as new food, new ornaments, new homes, new hanging ornaments, new animation products, new sex toys, etc., and is committed to creating an urban cultural space covering bookstores, cafes, art galleries, cultural and creative life halls and creative incubators. According to the "Enterprise Check" information, Sichuan Yanjiyou Culture Communication Co., Ltd. was established in October 2014, and has completed four rounds of financing. The investors include JD.COM Science and Technology, Xinghan Capital and other well-known institutions, with a total financing amount of about 240 million yuan.

  In 2014, Yanji opened its first store in Beijing — — The "Reading Today" store opened, located in Chuangye Street, Zhongguancun, Haidian District, and opened its first flagship store in Daxing in 2016. By the end of 2018, Yanji had opened eight more stores in Beijing, achieving full coverage of major urban areas such as Dongcheng, Xicheng, Haidian, Chaoyang, Daxing and Changping. In the first half of 2022, Yanji was in the last few stores in Beijing — — Liangmaqiao Guanshe Store, Wukesong Store and Financial Street Store closed one after another. At this point, Yan Ji withdrew from Beijing across the board.

  As early as June 25th, 2022, the reporter of Beiqing Daily saw that the door of "Yanjiyou Reading Today" bookstore was locked during the on-site visit to Huaxi LIVE· Wukesong Commercial Complex in Haidian District, and the notice letter of termination of lease contract from Beijing Wukesong Cultural and Sports Center Co., Ltd. to Beijing Yanjiyou Cultural Service Co., Ltd. was posted at the door. According to the letter of notification, there have been long-term defaults such as arrears. As of June 14, 2022, the rent and property fees were owed more than 548,000 yuan.

  Now that nearly ten months have passed, when the reporter of Beiqing Daily made a telephone call back to the property owner of Huaxi LIVE in Wukesong, the property owner said, "We have sent several lawyers’ letters here, and the debts are still being recovered. Up to now, it is in a state of shelving and unresolved. Although Yanji has withdrawn from Beijing, its corporate headquarters is still there. As a lessee, our shopping mall property company has received many complaints from customers that the stored value card can’t continue to consume after several words and withdrawal. We have all connected these complaints to the headquarters of Yanjiu, and they will handle the complaints in a unified manner. "

  Expansion result

  Nearly 60 stores in the country have been closed, leaving only 3 companies listed as untrustworthy by the Supreme Law.

  At its peak, Yanji once opened nearly 60 stores in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Xiamen and Xi ‘an. Today, only three stores in Chengdu base camp are still open, including Youfang Shopping Center in High-tech Zone and Joy City in Wuhou District.

  According to "Tianyancha", Beijing Yanjiyou Cultural Service Co., Ltd. has entered the list of dishonesty, which is 100% owned by Shanghai Yanjiyou Brand Management Co., Ltd., which is a untrustworthy company publicized by the Supreme People’s Court and listed by the court as a high-consumption enterprise for many times. In April, the company added three pieces of information about the person being executed, with a total execution target of more than 64 million yuan.

  Duiji went from the online celebrity Bookstore with infinite scenery to the sudden departure, and finally shouldered huge debts, which became the mess of the untrustworthy company. He Qicong, an associate professor at the Institute of Cultural Innovation and Communication of Beijing Normal University, who has long been engaged in the study of the format of physical bookstores, said that Duiji took the mode of opening a store quickly with capital — — It is said that the founder of Yanji once said that he would "quickly open 100 stores in 16 cities across the country". The common way of this rapidly expanding consumer brand is to quickly lay offline consumer terminals in the core cities of the country, so as to quickly expand the total asset plate and seek more financing or even listing. It has been reported that most of them rely on external funds to "supply blood", and when investors can’t get a return, they lose the patience to continue investing. The break of the capital chain is estimated to be the direct cause of the large-scale closure of the store.

  The aftermath of closing the store

  It takes 180 working days for the member’s stored-value card to be refunded if the after-sales phone number of several stores is cancelled.

  A few words and a large-scale closure of stores have also made the complaints of members’ customers who have no way to spend stored-value cards worse and worse. A large number of consumers who have no way to defend their rights have gathered in the message area of the store of the consumer comment website, and the amount of stored-value cards of members to be refunded in their hands is between 100 yuan and 1,500 yuan. On the black cat complaint platform, "Yan Ji You" was used as the key word to search, and a total of 6986 matching results appeared.

  In this regard, the reporter of Beiqing Daily, as a member consumer, called the headquarters of Huaxi LIVE Store in Haidian District to handle two after-sales calls, all of which were unable to answer. After many twists and turns, the reporter of Beiqing Daily got through the phone number left in Beijing Guanshe Store. The operator said that because many stores had been closed for a long time, the phone number left was naturally cancelled.

  Regarding the complaint that the member customers’ stored-value cards can’t be refunded after the store is closed, the operator said, "There are two kinds of cards that are sent to customers after a few words: one is a gift card used as a group purchase, and the money in this card can’t be refunded. Customers who hold this card can search for ‘ in the WeChat applet after we go online. Say a few words again ’ Bind gift cards for consumption. The other kind of card is the stored value card of Yanji Member, which is recharged by registering the customer’s personal mobile phone number. After the customer applies to our platform for card refund, it is expected that the refund will be completed within 180 working days … …”

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily asked, "Why wait 180 working days for such a long time?" After a few words, the customer service operator responded, "Because after a few words, there are only three stores in Chengdu, and there are too many customers who go through the formalities of returning cards and fees, all of which are concentrated in Chengdu headquarters for unified handling, so it is necessary to schedule … Throw away the holidays in a year, so that you can get a refund after almost one year. The refund is handled by our company’s finance according to the normal process, and the refund will eventually be returned to the customer. Don’t worry about this. "
