Focus | NIO IPO valuation has shrunk sharply, a list of recent car market news

NIO IPO valuation plummets

 

On August 21, during the IPO roadshow, NIO was exposed that its valuation asking price was only $80- 10 billion, the difference between the previous valuation of $37 billion was as high as $29 billion. However, it is worth noting that NIO internally set its price-to-earnings ratio target for the next five years at 10x. According to NIO’s valuation asking price in the IPO roadshow, if NIO wants to achieve the 10x price-to-earnings ratio target in 2023, NIO must complete a net profit of $8- 1 billion that year.

In any case, the capital drama of NIO will continue, but it may be really difficult for NIO, which is at the forefront of new car manufacturers, to go public. Just as some industry insiders commented on the NIO IPO before, "If NIO can’t go public at this time, it may never go public."

 

Electric Vehicle Times Network

 

Although the valuation has shrunk by 29 billion dollars, it has not affected NIO’s determination to choose to go public. Some people believe that NIO is originally a capital attribute company, "Li Bin’s embarrassment may be that if it is not listed, it will soon reach the end." There is not much time left for NIO, and likewise, there are not many opportunities and time left for other new car makers.

 

Electric state

 

According to NIO’s IPO filing, NIO’s revenue in the first half of this year was only 45.991 million yuan. On the one hand, losses continue to grow, and on the other hand, net profit continues to be sluggish. If NIO wants to achieve the goal of "10 times the price-to-earnings ratio in five years", it will face tremendous pressure.

Brother Wen’s comment

In fact, the author has said in the previous article that NIO may be "devalued". On the one hand, the overseas market environment is very unfavorable to Chinese stocks. On the other hand, NIO’s business model may not be recognized by overseas investors. Finally, NIO has not been fully delivered yet, which must also make these investors hesitate. And these are the direct reasons for NIO’s "devaluation".

 

Although the news has not been officially confirmed yet, there is no wind and no waves, and NIO’s road to listing must be very difficult. And according to NIO’s current situation, not to mention delivery problems, even delivery will face the test of the market, so in my opinion, NIO wants to set a price-to-earnings ratio target of 10 times in the next five years, which is expected to be very difficult

 

Dongfeng Peugeot Wu Shaoge resigns

 

Recently, some media learned from Shenlong Company that Wu Shaoge, the former deputy general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot, has officially resigned, and the specific whereabouts have not been determined.

Wu Shaoge, former deputy general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot

 

Wu Shaoge entered the automotive industry in 2002 and has successively served as the senior manager of Volkswagen Group China Marketing Department, the director of FAW-Volkswagen Brand and Public Relations, the head of the marketing department of FAW-Volkswagen Sales Co., Ltd., the vice president of BMW Brilliance, and the head of the marketing department of Dongfeng Peugeot. Wu Shaoge was promoted to the deputy general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot in March last year. He has made achievements in brand, sales, marketing and public relations communication, and product strategy. He has successfully managed more than 30 new models to be launched in China.

 

Brother Wen’s comment

 

Shenlong, as one of the earliest joint venture car companies in China, has also had great success, but it has started to decline since 2016. Last year, sales were cut in half. Among them, Dongfeng Peugeot’s sales fell by 8.22% year-on-year, and the decline was not small. It can be said to be a gloomy cloud. In the past two years, Dongfeng Peugeot’s personnel changes have also been quite frequent. Last year, Li Haigang, the general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot, and Li Nanhong, the director of the brand public relations department, left one after another. Now Wu Shaoge, the deputy general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot, has also left. In addition to poor sales performance, the reasons are not unrelated to its dealer withdrawal and the relocation of the brand marketing department

 

Google’s driverless car may have established a wholly-owned company in Shanghai

 

On August 23, according to the national enterprise credit information publicity system, a company named Huimo Business Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. registered in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone in May, and its business scope includes business information consultation, design and testing of autonomous car parts and products, and providing related supporting services.

The company is 100% owned by WAYMO LLC, a self-driving company owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet. In July this year, Shanghai said it planned to introduce Google’s self-driving and other projects to Shanghai.

 

Brother Wen’s comment

 

Google’s autonomous driving, which has been conducting road tests abroad, finally couldn’t help but extend its battle line to the Chinese market. In the field of autonomous driving, everyone only knows that Tesla has done a better job, but in fact, Google has been exposed to this field earlier than Tesla, and after years of hard work, it has made quite a lot of achievements. As the world’s largest automobile market, China’s development in the field of autonomous driving is also very rapid. Google established a company in Shanghai at this time to seize the market as soon as possible, so as not to miss the opportunity.

 

Xiaokang Group and Alibaba have reached a strategic cooperation

 

On August 23, the joint stock company of Chongqing Xiaokang Industrial Group (hereinafter referred to as Xiaokang Group) and Alibaba Group officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two sides will carry out comprehensive cooperation to jointly promote the application cooperation and industrialization of digitalization, intelligence and networking in the automotive industry.

 

As a benchmark enterprise for strategic cooperation between the Chongqing Municipal Government and Alibaba, Xiaokang Group will jointly build an intelligent manufacturing demonstration in the automotive industry, promote the high degree of integration of the automotive industry and Internet technology, and drive technological innovation in the automotive industry. In the future, the two sides will cooperate in depth in the field of automotive intelligence and jointly promote the popularization of intelligent connected vehicles.

 

Brother Wen’s comment

 

With the changes of the times, intelligent networked cars are increasingly favored by consumers. Nowadays, not only new car makers but also traditional car companies have begun to pay attention to the development of this field. At the same time, there have been many cases of cross-border cooperation, led by the three giants of BAT. A cross-border cooperation boom has begun, while Alibaba has deep technical accumulation in the field of intelligent networking. After the Roewe RX5, which cooperated with SAIC Motor, achieved very good sales. The in-depth cooperation between Xiaokang Group and Alibaba may hatch the next RX5.

EZ-6 invoice resurgence, Changan Mazda price bottom line suspected exposure 18-240,000

Recently, some netizens posted a Changan Mazda EZ-6 car purchase invoice. The invoice shows that the purchased model is an EZ-6 pure electric BEV model, priced at 221,800 yuan. This news not only caused a huge response in the owner circle, but also attracted extensive attention from professionals in the industry. Changan Mazda EZ-6 is Mazda’s first test in the field of new energy, especially in the joint venture B-class car market. The authenticity of this pricing has become the focus of public opinion.

First of all, it is necessary to verify the authenticity of this invoice. According to the pictures released, the invoice date of this car purchase invoice is August 16, which is more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. Normally, when a new car is launched, the car company usually has a complete time advancement process. Especially for a joint venture car company like Changan Mazda, it is necessary for both China and Japan to make joint decisions. It is not surprising that the price is agreed 2 months in advance. Judging from the coding of the invoice code and other sensitive information, as well as the information of the invoicing party and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., this invoice does not seem to be forged, and the invoice itself is very reliable. Since the invoice may be genuine, the price of the product shown in the invoice is also very likely to be true.

In fact, since the EZ-6 made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, it has quickly become one of the most talked-about sedans in the joint venture new energy sector. The reason why the EZ-6 has attracted so much attention is in part because it is at the forefront of the joint venture new energy field in terms of styling. On the other hand, the EZ-6 is the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market that provides extended range power, filling the gap in this field.

From the perspective of body size, the length, width and height of the EZ-6 are 4921/1890/1485mm, the wheelbase is 2895mm, and it adopts a frameless door and hatchback design. Although it is more new in shape, the shadow of Mazda’s classic design elements can still be seen from its through taillights and four round gun downlights on both sides.

In terms of power, the EZ-6 is available in both pure electric and extended range, both in a rear-drive layout. The pure electric version has a power parameter of 190kW, while the extended range version uses the same 1.5-liter range extender, which has exactly the same power parameters. In terms of battery life, depending on the battery pack capacity, the pure electric model has a range of 480 kilometers and 600 kilometers respectively, while the extended range version has a range of more than 1,300 kilometers on a single charge and a tank of fuel.

In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 is not only equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, but also equipped with a 14.6-inch floating central control screen, full LCD instrument panel, AR-HUD head-up display, 360-degree panoramic image, 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance and automatic parking. In addition, there are luxury configurations such as Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights and zero-gravity seats that are rare in the same level.

From the product pricing and configuration point of view, EZ-6’s 221,800 yuan price seems very reasonable. Compared with the same level of Tesla Model 3, BMW i3 price of about 300,000 yuan, and Volkswagen ID7 starting price of 227,700 yuan, EZ-6 price is not only exciting, but also in the configuration of the same level of seckill many competitors.

Combined with Mazda’s previous pricing strategy, the final price of the EZ-6 is expected to fall between 180,000 and 240,000. If the pre-sale can bring awesome preferential policies, it will put great pressure on other joint venture new energy models on the market. It is reported that the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28 and officially go on sale at the end of October. All the answers will be revealed soon.

Overall, Changan Mazda EZ-6 is likely to become a dark horse in the joint venture new energy market with its rich configuration, reasonable pricing and unique market positioning. For car enthusiasts and potential car buyers, it is worth paying close attention to the actual performance of this model in the future market. Do you think the pricing of EZ-6 is reasonable?

Chinese original luxury aesthetics, oriental elegance

As China’s independent high-end MPV, Chinese elements are indispensable. The new Landscape Dreamer skillfully integrates traditional elements with modern automobile industry design in design to establish a distinct original Chinese design style. Kunpeng’s wing-spreading through headlight group complements the swaying front grille, and it is full of power. The body curves are flowing and flowing, and it is harmonious and natural from any angle. The design of 34 original symmetrical Chinese columns is not only a tribute to China’s 34 provincial administrative regions, but also a symbol of the people’s unity and unity. Crystal diamond dazzling tail lights, like stars shining, leave a "sense of technology back". The new Landscape Dreamer offers 5 exterior colors, namely Du Ruobai, Rising Sun Purple, Xuan Ying Black, Radiant Moon Green and Xuan Ye Gold, and there are also two limited double colors, Day and Night Radiance and Sea Moon Gold. At the same time, on the interior, the new car is designed with 3 interior colors, cloud gray, camel brown and cotton rice.

The 7-square-meter super "large flat floor" brings users a comfortable feeling of "large space"

The "luxury" of an MPV lies in focusing on the needs of people, paying attention to humanistic care and comfortable experience. The new Lantu Dreamer has a 7-square-meter super "large flat floor", and plans a "Chinese-style three-bedroom" for each occupant. The "height" in the car is more than 1.3 meters, and children can walk freely in the car; it has the world’s most "luxurious" second row, with an aisle width of 180mm, the industry’s first SPA-level zero-gravity seat, with a true zero-gravity posture and senior massage therapist techniques, allowing the body to be fully relaxed.

The 13L double-door heating and cooling smart refrigerator can achieve a wide temperature range from -6 ° to 50 °, and can hold 10 bottles of 350ML mineral water, while meeting the needs of the whole car.

The luxury MPV space is not only large, but also flexible. The new Lantu Dreamer trunk has a capacity of 502L, which can easily fit 8 large suitcases. When the third row of seats slides forward by 175mm, the trunk volume can also be expanded to a maximum of 2700L, fully meeting the loading needs of large items.

Focusing on safety, we protect every journey with care

Safe travel is the most important for both business reception and family travel. The new Landscape Dream is the first and only new energy MPV in the industry to obtain the C-NCAP five-star safety certification. This authoritative endorsement is due to the 2000MPa ultra-high-strength cage body, which is equipped with a mica battery that does not leak, catch fire, or explode, providing full-dimensional protection for battery safety.

The introduction of Huawei Smart Driving ADS 3.0 has taken the safety performance of the new Landscape Dreamer to a higher level.

Under CLTC working conditions, the pure electric battery life reaches 235 kilometers, and the comprehensive battery life reaches 1411 kilometers. And it is equipped with a variety of driving modes to cover the whole scene of travel. It can be said that the driving control and fuel consumption have been achieved to the extreme, truly realizing the flexible switching of urban electricity and long-distance oil.

"Self-research + cooperation" dual-line development, Lantu creates "full-dimensional intelligent MPV"

Under the tide of digitalization, "smart" cars have become the trend of the times. After entering the era of smart new energy, Lantu Automobile has cooperated with Huawei to jointly develop intelligent technologies with an open and inclusive attitude; it has independently developed and invested a lot of technology to ensure its own competitive strength. The new Landscape Dreamer has launched two major models, the Kunpeng version and the dry version. The Kunpeng version is equipped with a newly developed and upgraded "Xiaoyao" intelligent interactive cockpit and "Kunpeng" intelligent driving assistance system.

Dongfeng Peugeot’s brand power is gradually declining, and whether the new 408 can reshape its image attracts attention

China Net Automobile, August 16th (reporter, Wang Yidong) The problem of abnormal vehicle noises that are often ignored does not seem serious, but if it occurs frequently for a long time, it will not only cause trouble to the owner of the car and the passengers in the car, but also pose a dangerous hazard to the safety of the vehicle. Recently, China Net Automobile Complaint Platform received a complaint from a Dongfeng Peugeot owner that his 2022 508L had multiple abnormal noises shortly after buying it, and what made the owner unbearable was that "the maintenance staff of the 4S shop asked me to endure…". As of press time, the owner reported that the problem of the vehicle had not been properly resolved.

The new car has many creaking noises. The 4S store said that the more it is dismantled, the more abnormal noises it makes.

The reporter immediately contacted the owner of the complaint. According to the owner, Mr. Xing, his car (2022 508L 400THP PureTech driving version) was just purchased in June this year. In less than a month, the vehicle appeared "squeaky" abnormal noise during driving, including the central control, B pillar, sunroof and many other places. There are different degrees of abnormal noise problems, and the front and rear radars are also slow to respond. After inspection by the maintenance staff of the 4S shop, it was called "normal phenomenon".

After repeated communication with the owner and repeated inspections by the 4S shop, "they removed the B pillar, but there was no problem." The owner complained that "now the bumpy road section, the B pillar is still creaking," which made Mr. Xing unbearable.

Regarding the abnormal sound of the central control, the owner told the reporter: "If the 4S shop (maintenance staff) said that the central control is disassembled for inspection, the more abnormal sounds may be, and they do not recommend disassembling it." To this explanation, Mr. Xing said he could not accept it: "The new car has only been driven for more than 2,000 kilometers, and this kind of problem occurs. I hope Peugeot can help me solve the vehicle failure as soon as possible."

According to the reporter’s investigation, the problem of abnormal noise of the car is also common on other complaint platforms, involving abnormal steering noise, abnormal noise of the central control, abnormal noise of the chassis, etc. In response to the complaint, the reporter also contacted Dongfeng Peugeot, and the other party said that the owner would be contacted as soon as possible to solve the vehicle problem.

Dongfeng Peugeot’s brand reputation is declining day by day

When it comes to Dongfeng Peugeot, I have to mention Shenlong Automobile. It can be seen that in the past two years, Shenlong Automobile has indeed made a lot of efforts to return to the track, including accelerating the launch of new products, including Citroen 2021 Tianyi, Citroen Versailles C5X, and the new Peugeot 4008 and 2022 508L models are all regarded as "turning over".

According to the latest sales volume released by Shenlong Automobile, in July this year, the company delivered 10,636 vehicles, achieving 20 consecutive months of positive year-on-year growth. From January to July this year, the cumulative sales volume was 66395 vehicles, an increase of 39% year-on-year. From the data point of view, it is undeniable that Shenlong Automobile does show signs of recovery, but the monthly sales volume of about 10,000 vehicles is still different from its high-light era. It is understood that Shenlong Automobile’s annual sales target for this year is set at 150,000 vehicles, and it has achieved break-even. As of July, the cumulative sales volume of 66395 vehicles has completed 44.2% of the target sales volume.

Specific to the models of Dongfeng Peugeot, the data shows that, except for the three models of Peugeot 4008, 408, and 2008, the monthly sales of other models are only maintained at more than 100 vehicles.

And for the new energy field that major automakers have laid out, Dongfeng Peugeot has not achieved any success. The only new energy models on sale are the Peugeot 4008 PHEV and the Peugeot 508L PHEV. However, according to third-party sales statistics, the sales of the two vehicles in June were only more than ten vehicles.

There are many reasons for the poor market performance and poor sales. Poor quality control or one of the main factors of Dongfeng Peugeot. According to the statistics of the reporter, the quality problem of Dongfeng Peugeot has a long history. As early as 2016, the owners of its 408 models complained that the vehicles had serious oil burning problems. Subsequently, the problem occurred in many models including 308 and 4008, and it has not been solved for a long time. In 2019, the number of complaints about this problem reached its peak. In the face of more than 1,000 complaints, the resolution rate was quite low.

It was not until 2020 that Dongfeng Peugeot initiated a recall due to the defect of the timing belt. It recalled nearly 90,000 models equipped with 1.2T engines, involving Dongfeng Peugeot 2008, 308S, New 308, New 408 and other models. The reason for the recall is that the 1.2T engine wet oil-immersed timing belt is assembled. During use, due to chemical erosion of oil, additives, cleaning agents, etc. used in the vehicle, the material properties are degraded, causing the fabric on the surface of the timing belt to be damaged and fall off, which will clog the lubricating oil filter device, causing the oil pressure to decrease and the engine failure light to light up.

However, this behavior has also attracted doubts from owners, who believe that Dongfeng Peugeot knows that the engine is defective but takes an evasive attitude, does not take the recall as soon as possible, allowing the hidden danger of failure to continue to expand, putting consumers’ lives at risk, and confessed to Dongfeng Peugeot brand completely disappointed. What is even more unacceptable is that many owners later reported to reporters that the engine still had a serious oil burning problem after replacing the belt. In this regard, the reporter has also done a series of related reports before. (Event review: http://auto.china.com.cn/news/20200312/703570.shtml)

In fact, the quality problems of Dongfeng Peugeot’s models are not only that, but also the collective complaints of owners of the early Peugeot 408 due to abnormal transmission noise have attracted much attention. Now, the abnormal noise of the Peugeot 508L model has been criticized by owners again.

As mentioned above, although we can see that Shenlong Automobile is working hard to change, in the face of the rapidly changing domestic auto market, it is difficult to rebound and return to the track. For Dongfeng Peugeot, the weakening product power and the gradually disappearing user reputation are restricting the development of Dongfeng Peugeot.

Luo Ming, general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot’s brand department, said at this year’s dealer conference that in 2022, Dongfeng Peugeot will accelerate the transformation while maintaining the brand upward, stand firm, really open the development channel, and reshape the brand perception. At present, Dongfeng Peugeot’s new 408 has been pre-sold. Although the new car has undergone great changes in appearance design and interior layout, there has not been much improvement in power and body size. For the competitive advantage of the new car and future market performance, we maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

Deep Blue S07 is officially listed, and famous enterprises jointly add new kinetic energy to new energy vehicles

In the future, it will enter more than 70 countries in the five major

Cai Xukun’s "comeback" stunning debut, Qixi Festival sparked heated discussions

After all, his situation is different from some other artists. He has not been officially named and accused, nor has he been severely punished. Therefore, as long as he can continue to maintain his position in the idol circle and grasp the hearts of fans, he may still be able to "make a comeback" in the entertainment industry in the future.

The news of Qixi Festival’s comeback also seems to convey a kind of happy news, telling fans that "my husband is back". For fans, it is undoubtedly an excitement and excitement to see their idol return to the stage. Moreover, the timing of Cai Xukun’s comeback also coincides with the blue typhoon wave, which seems to conform to the emotions of some netizens.

It can be seen from this incident that the "comeback" of artists is not an overnight decision, and needs to be balanced in many aspects such as business, image and fan emotion. In any case, the future development of Cai Xukun and other artists is worth looking forward to. I just hope they can stick to their original aspirations and become better versions of themselves
