On March 19, Di Lizheba also received good news again. The urban fantasy drama "Xiao Qi Qing Lan" starring him was officially launched, and the actor he co-starred with was Chen Xingxu. Although this was their first collaboration, it could also be seen from the photos of the opening scene that they were also handsome men and beautiful women, and they were particularly attractive, which made people look forward to it even more!

　　Jiaxing Di Lizheba Studio also posted a set of beautiful photos for the first time. In the picture, Fat Di was also wearing a dark brown leather trench coat and stepping on black boots, and her style was still leading the fashion trend. Although her clothes were loose, her graceful figure also won everyone’s praise.

　　Di Lizheba also had long black and soft hair, a shawl, and a very delicate makeup on her face. She still looked particularly sweet and pleasant, and her big eyes were also very agile.

　　She also took the special red envelope of the crew and posed various shapes to the camera. Her frown and smile were particularly gentle and charming, and her wink expression made people fall into a trap in an instant. I believe she will be able to attract countless fans again in the new drama with her superb acting skills and super high appearance!

　　Subsequently, Jiaxing Di Lizheba Studio also shared a set of behind- the-scene beautiful photos again, and she was wearing makeup, which made her look more natural, sometimes pouting at the camera to act cute, sometimes showing tilted head killing, and laughing when it was like first love.

　　However, what was even more unexpected was that her affair with Huang Jingyu was once again rumored, because the producer of the drama she starred in was "Xian Gongfu Culture Media" and the director was "Tian Li". This was the same as the TV drama "Sea of Dreams" starred Huang Jingyu in last year, which once again triggered heated discussions among netizens.

　　We all know that Di Lizheba and Huang Jingyu’s love affair has been circulating for a long time, but both parties have not expressed their singleness, and the coincidence of resources between the two is also quite high. At the opening banquet of Di Lizheba’s "Anle Biography" in 2021, the creators mentioned Huang Jingyu many times. In 2020, Huang Jingyu’s "Procuratorial Wind and Cloud" and 2022 Di Lizheba’s "Public Prosecution": the producers are all the highest inspection.

　　Now, Di Lizheba is also wearing a ring on the middle finger at the boot site, I don’t know if it means something? But anyway, I’m still looking forward to Di Lizheba’s performance in the new drama, I believe it will also get a double harvest of audience ratings and word-of-mouth!

According to a report by the Information Times on January 24, "good man" Chen He issued a long apology on Weibo the night before yesterday, "I was wrong", acknowledging that it had been almost half a year since he divorced Xu Jing, and said that he had broken up peacefully with his ex-wife and "did nothing to hurt the world."

However, some careful netizens found that in the six months after the divorce, "good man" Chen He still showed his love on various occasions such as new books, TV shows and magazine interviews. Many netizens questioned that he would spend money on his marriage with Xu Jing after the divorce, and even participated in husband and wife reality shows before and after the divorce. In addition, revelations about "cheating" also followed. It seems that although Chen He admitted the divorce and took the responsibility for himself, he could not resolve the series of doubts caused by this divorce.

Question 1: Do you still rely on marriage to "amass wealth" after divorce?

Chen He said: "Too much worldly sophistication"

Through the popularity of Zeng Xiaoxian in "Love Apartment", and then to "The Year in a Hurry" and "Run, Brothers", Chen He has also flourished in the entertainment industry. Before the divorce incident, he also portrayed himself as a model of "good man". Chen He has never stopped showing his love on Weibo.

If it is true that the two sides can’t be together as Chen He said, then divorce is the best option. But netizens questioned that within six months of Chen He’s divorce, he continued to sell books on Weibo and participated in the husband and wife reality show "True Love is Lost".

On August 2, 2014, Chen He promoted his new book "Love is Love if you can hold on to it" on Weibo, where he wrote: "After almost a year, I finally finished this book. I wanted to give it to my wife as a surprise today, but my wife looked at the cover and said: Whose book is this?" The cover of the book read: "A good man is me, and I am Chen He. I always believe in love!"

According to Chen He, it had been almost half a year since the divorce, and it was estimated that the divorce should be around July 2014. Even if the new book was written before the divorce, it would still be deceptive to claim that "I always believe in love" when promoting the new book after the divorce.

In addition, the husband and wife reality show "True Love is Lost" began recording in May 2014 and premiered on Southeast Satellite TV on July 3 of the same year. Chen He and Xu Jing were guests to show their love, "showing the most authentic side of the celebrity husband and wife to the audience" is the slogan of the show.

According to the operating procedures of the TV program, even if "True Love on the Journey" was recorded before the divorce, the two were also in a period of marital crisis; if "True Love on the Journey" was recorded and broadcast, some netizens revealed that the last recording was completed on August 17, 2014, then it is possible that the "husband and wife reality show" was completed according to the contract after the divorce.

This was just in line with the careful netizens’ discovery that the two had shown incompatibility many times during "True Love is Lost". When interviewing "Do you want to get married again in the next life" with the same title, Xu Jing hesitated for a long time and did not answer clearly. In the last issue, Chen He also thanked Xu Jing for being willing to accompany him. Now it seems that there is a lot of information behind it.

Question 2: Why do you continue to show your love after getting divorced?

Chen He said: "Many jobs cannot be refused"

Chen He did not give an exact time for the divorce in his long apology. According to the calculation of the divorce of half a year, the two should have ended their marriage around July 2014. But Chen He still showed "love" in the interview he did with "Running Man" after that.

In an interview with print media in November 2014, he also said that "marriage is a natural thing. When I was working, she also arranged a lot of things for herself to do, such as traveling or studying. Life is very fulfilling, and I will try to accompany her when I rest." Regarding the baby plan, he said that he also likes children, "but let it be."

At the 2015 Guangzhou New Year’s Eve party on Zhejiang Satellite TV, Chen He also said: "I used sincerity to impress girls, and I pursued my wife the same way, persevering and not giving up."

In the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar in February, Chen He was interviewed with the title "Chen He, if you love your wife, you will parachute with her". He still called Xu Jing his wife, and planned to send gifts to show his love on Valentine’s Day, calling out "Dear wife, I love you". In addition, when the divorce was spreading, the editor-in-chief of Entertainment Weekly was also discussing with Chen He himself to shoot a husband and wife blockbuster.

It cannot be ruled out that because the image of "good man" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, "True Love is Lost" and "Run Brothers" are relatively healthy and positive TV shows. Maybe Chen He had already bundled the package of publicity before signing a contract with the show. Because of the contractual relationship with the agency, Chen He had to complete the necessary work and publicity projects, so he repeatedly emphasized that the work was "irresistible and irresistible" in the long apology "I was wrong".

However, compared to the 14-year-long love, parting ways because of work is not "always believe in love", so it has also attracted many netizens to question: "Deng Chao and Sun Li should be busier than Chen He and Xu Jing, but they also have two children and still have a sweet relationship."

Question 3: Why did you get divorced? Was it too busy or cheating?

Chen He said: "There is nothing else"

As for the reason for the divorce, Chen He gave the official line in his long article that he was too busy: "My work has become increasingly busy and irresistible. Last year, I only had ten days off at most. I couldn’t refuse a lot of work.

Although Chen He seems to be a "good man" – these are all his own fault, but the reason for divorce because of "too busy" is still too far-fetched. Many netizens have questioned that after 13 years of long-distance love, the reason for divorce because of "too busy" less than a year after marriage is still too simple.

What exactly is the reason why "good men" choose to divorce? Chen He stressed that "there is nothing else". But there have been a series of revelations before that their marriage hit the rocks because Chen He cheated. When Chen He filmed "The Year in a Hurry" last February, he met Zhang Zixuan and had a good impression. The divorce with Chen He was carried out at the same time, and it was also rumored that Zhang Zixuan also filed for divorce from her husband Yang Yiliu.

In addition, in November last year, Chen He and Zhang Zixuan were witnessed going to the Maldives together. According to Chen He, this was after their divorce.

However, the popular studio that photographed the article and Yao Di’s "cheating door", as well as Dong Jie (Weibo) and Wang Dazhi embracing each other, revealed yesterday that it held a photo of Chen He cheating and hugging a female star. "Chen He, who has always shown his love as a good man, urgently wrote a divorce statement full of false apologies on the grounds that he did not have time. To be honest, I am disgusted, there is really no other reason for the divorce? Did not do something harmful? How to explain that both cheated on each other with another female star?"

From this point of view, Chen He’s divorce "nothing else" is very doubtful. It can’t stand the test. Once a photo confirming his affair leaks out, Chen He has to conduct a new round of crisis public relations.

small question

Who did Chen He threaten? Who was releasing the material?

Although it is said that there is no wind and no waves, it is quite particular about who was the first to poke the divorce incident of Chen He. After all, he can hide the divorce for half a year, and the whistleblower must be close to the people around him. Chen He also pointed out in his long apology that "I don’t want to threaten anyone either. One column and one movie pushed me to this point, which I never expected." This sentence seems meaningful.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Li, a veteran in the circle, suggested on Weibo that Chen He had been "splashed with dirty water" by his friends, which also made netizens think about it. He wrote on Weibo: "The so-called brother is to see that you are more popular than him, and dig a hole with more false information in the semi-real. You asked the media to break the news and paid to use the marketing account, so you are not afraid of being dug out?"

Many netizens speculated that the deliverer was Zheng Kai (Weibo), who used to be a classmate and had a competitive relationship with Chen He in "Running Man" shows and big movies, but Zheng Kai forwarded Chen He’s apology to Weibo yesterday, saying "Brother, come on! We will grow with you, once, now and in the future…" Chen Lizhi also forwarded Zheng Kai’s Weibo, saying "Good brother, let’s go together".

Ex-wife Xu Jing pleaded for Chen He: He is my relative, don’t attack him

Information Times News On the evening of January 22, Chen Hefa admitted that he had been divorced from his ex-wife for half a year, claiming in Weibo that "I was wrong". Two hours after Chen He’s post, another party, Xu Jing, also spoke out on Weibo, saying that Chen He was still his relative and hoped that everyone would not attack Chen He.

Xu Jing wrote on Weibo: "Fourteen years can help you get to know a person better? You have to persevere when you are wronged, you have to let go when you endure heartache, and you can’t see that he is helpless when you are separated. He is just a fragile child, but he is my relative. Please don’t attack him."

Although Xu Jing generously called on netizens to let Chen He go, this move attracted praise, but the words "bear the heartache and let go" in Weibo were still very dazzling, and the "heartache" caused by it aroused more attention.

"Running Man" Wang Zulan calls for some space for Chen He

Speaking about Mr. Chen’s divorce, Wang Zulan, the only member of the "Brotherhood" group present at the premiere of the film "Running Brothers" in Beijing yesterday, said that others had already privately consoled him and that all that needed to be done was to give the parties some space.

Special guest Jin Zhongguo said that during the recording of the program with Chen He, he felt very happy.

At yesterday’s press conference, Deng Chao, Chen He, AngelaBaby, Wang Baoqiang (Weibo), Zheng Kai, and Li Chen (Weibo) were all absent, and Wang Zulan picked up the heavy responsibility. Calling himself the "Leak Picking King", he seized the opportunity to "trick" the absence of other starring figures on the spot, wrote his mantra "Are you a pig?" on Chen He’s drawing board, and painted Li Chen’s eyebrow with a little red "Wu Meiniang makeup".

In the temporary name tag tearing activity launched at the scene, Wang Zulan also won the Korean version of the running man Jin Zhongguo in one go. It made Jin Zhongguo "aggrieved" and said coquettishly: "In Korea, they have always’bullied me ‘. When I come to China, I am still a victim, and I have no chance to show my ability. Next time I meet you, I must tear off your name tag."

Zu Lan, who had defeated the strongest "energy user" in the battle of tearing famous brands for the first time, sighed: "Zhong Guo Oppa is too good. In fact, in the movie, he is very strong and very hard. We all love him very much."

During the filming of "Running Man", Chen He has already divorced his wife. His absence from the event yesterday also attracted media inquiries. The staff revealed that he had rejected yesterday’s arrangement early because of the schedule. Wang Zulan said that after the brothers heard the news, they had already sent greetings and comfort in the WeChat group. But he did not want to say more, and called on everyone to "give him some space."

Wang Zhonglei (Weibo), president of Huayi Brothers, revealed that when he recommended his artists to participate in the show, he thought Chen He was very strong in combat. "Don’t look at him as a tall person, but in fact he is very cowardly and needs protection." Wang Zhonglei smiled and said that another person who surprised him was AngelaBaby. He had hesitated several times whether to recommend her to the show. "After watching the show, I knew she was easy to fight, and she was a man woman."

NIO released the 2023 Quarter 1 financial report Long Bridge US stocks premarket on June 9, Beijing time. Another large area of "spicy eye" performance, if the fourth quarter of last year is poor, the first quarter of this year is still a "strengthened version":

1. Poor sales and poor income:$NIO – SW.HK revenue 10.70 billion, and less than the market expectations, the 1 billion +, the sales difference is known, the key is because of the volume price, the old car, 75kwh entry models accounted for more, resulting in a unit price of only 297,000, significantly lower than market expectations.

2. Gross margin collapse: As the unit price fell below 300,000 for the first time, much lower than the previous guidance implied unit price of about 320,000,The gross profit margin of the car fell directly to 5% without impairment and other operations, far lower than the market expectation of about 10%. Obviously, the damage caused by the price reduction of the old model and the low gross profit margin of ET5, the capacity utilization rate in the process of platform replacement has particularly serious damage to NIO.

3. Guidance mediocre: second quarterGuidance sales 2.3 – 25,000 units, due to the known sales in April and May, implied sales in June after the release of the new ES6, finally began to stand on the 10,000, guidance implied sales in June should be about 11,000. And the company’s goal is that ET5 + ES6 double top stream can bring 20,000 monthly sales, this guidance is still significantly different from this goal.

However,$NIO. SG The price of implied bicycles behind the revenue guidance 87-9.40 billion may recover to about 320,000, the proportion of implied inventory vehicles may decrease, and the gross margin should recover.

4. NIO who is still "voting":Although the gross profit has dropped to less than 20,000 yuan, NIO wants to do a lot of things in R & D and needs to "warm up users". The investment in R & D and sales expenses has not seen obvious restraint. The operating loss rate hit a three-year high, reaching 48%, significantly higher than market expectations.

Dolphin Jun’s overall perspective:

For new forces with a very short period of new car explosions and repeatedly falling into the green and yellow of changing cars, Dolphin Jun naturally has a red label of "suspicious execution". Obviously, the current NIO is such a company.

Therefore, the previous share price of 9 yuan has fallen to the PS valuation level between life and death in 2019. Dolphin Jun proposed that companies with too big dreams and too weak execution cannot talk about bottom fishing lightly. By this financial report, the company’s share price was hovering at 7-8 yuan, and bottom fishing did not generate profits.

Of course, from the perspective of marginal changes, this performance is basically the bottom of NIO’s performance: because NIO’s double-top streaming car ES6 went on sale at the end of May and the ET5 hunting version went on sale in June, two promising cars began to contribute to full sales in the second half of the year, and all other models will basically transition to the NT2.0 platform. Sales and gross profit margins are unlikely to be worse, and will only go in the direction of improvement.

In the corresponding stock price, along with the improvement of sales volume and gross profit margin, there is also hope to slowly climb out of the bottom. But how much can be pulled up from the bottom, or can it return to the previous height? It depends on how much the original new power brother reflects on this wave of mistakes, and how much the execution improves. Dolphin Jun has doubts. At least to see the change of attitude first, you might as well listen to what NIO has to say in the phone call.

First, stronger than painting cakes, weaker than landing: NIO, it’s time to reflect

Let me remind you of the two core goals of NIO’s delivery this year:

1)NIO aims to deliver 250,000 vehicles this year.

2) By the fourth quarter, the monthly sales should stand firm 30,000 vehicles: the two pillar cars ET5 + ES6 have a total monthly sales of 20,000, ET7 + ES7 + ES8 have a total contribution of 8k-10k vehicles, and the two coupe EC6 and EC7 have a total monthly sales of about 2k vehicles.

Goals vs reality, let’s compare:

1) By the end of the first half of this year, the delivery was probably on 55,000 vehicles, barely completing a little more than 20% of the annual target. In the case of just climbing 10,000 in June, it is equivalent to 32,500 monthly delivery in the second half of the year, which means that the hope of achieving the 250,000 goal for the whole year is very slim.

2) Monthly sales 30,000 target vs May 6k reality: In May, due to NIO’s two top-class models – ES6 replacement and ET5 hunting car to be released, the new ES8 was launched in June and EC6 was launched in July; the new EC7 was relatively niche, and it was just launched and basically did not contribute to sales;, in addition, the market demand for ET7 and ES7 models that are not being replaced is weak, and the final result is that NIO sold a mere 6,155 units in May, even lower than in April.

On the list of new car makers in May, the original first brother has almost slipped to the bottom.

Fortunately, looking ahead, it should be the worst time for NIO nowFrom the perspective of the release rhythm of the model, NIO’s two promising contributions to large sales ET5 and ES6:

ES6: As the best-selling SUV in the NIO model matrix, on May 24 this year, NIO released an updated version of ES 6 (competitors mainly include Model Y, L7, etc.), and deliveries began that night.

According to market survey information, within 72 hours of ES6 release, the average intention of a single store was 90 orders, 20 prepaid orders, and ES6 contributed 60-70% of the incoming traffic. Preliminary data seems to be good.

2.) ET5 prey version: released on June 15 and delivered in the same month ET5 prey version, prey version will optimize the current ET5 rear space, it is estimated that part of the original wait-and-see ET5 lead.

After the two NIO top-class models are all launched in June, the monthly sales of tens of thousands is a reasonable expectation for the market. So from this quarter, the second quarter sales guidance given by NIO 2.3-2 5,000 vehicles are only within expectations.

Due to the sales volume of 6.7k in April and 6.2k in May, this guide implies that the sales volume in June is 11,000, which is basically the same as the market expectation of 10,000 vehicles in June. There is no further shock, but it is obviously not a surprise.

Overall, NIO has not really exploded in this cycle of car replacement, from new cars such as ET5 to the present. Compared with the ideal replacement cycle, the replacement time of NT2.0 models has been delayed for too long, and the problem is still obvious.

When the automotive market had long since entered the era where demand was king, NIO wanted too much, and its execution was still stuck in the era of "supply is king", completely unable to keep up with its peers who were crazy about rolling in.

Finally, from the perspective of the actual delivery volume in the first quarter, only 31,000 vehicles were achieved, barely reaching the lower limit of the original target 3.1-3 3,000 vehicles.

Fatal Expectation Spread: Gross Margin Revisited

Behind the poor sales volume, the gross profit margin was pulled again, and the severity exceeded the one-time impairment 1 billion due to "inventory impairment provisions, accelerated depreciation of production equipment, and loss of old 866 purchase agreement" in the first quarter.

In the first quarter of this year, NIO’s gross profit margin of automobile sales was only 5.1%, while the gross profit margin of automobiles 1 billion one-time factors was 13.5% in the last quarter, while the market’s expectations for the gross profit margin of automobiles in the first quarter were basically in double digits, basically between 10% and 12%.

Specifically, consider the bicycle economy.

1) In the first quarter, bicycle revenue hit a record low, falling below 300,000 for the first time, only 297,000, and the cost of bicycles directly fell 70,000.

Of course, the reason is also obvious. During the new car replacement period, the old 866 model has exhibition car clearance, national subsidies, and financial discounts, etc.; while the unit price of the new ET5 itself is lower than that of the previous models, the gross profit margin is also low, and the average price decline is normal.

2) Now that NT1.0 is converted to NT2.0, the intermediate capacity utilization rate is very low, which will also drag down the gross profit margin; the cost of a bicycle cannot go down synchronously with the price of a single car, and the gross profit of a bicycle is further reduced by 3,000 yuan compared with the fourth quarter, and the gross profit margin is directly pulled from 6.8% to 5.1%. The standard gross profit margin for car manufacturing should be around 20%, which is too large.

Fortunately, looking ahead, NIO couldn’t be any worse.

The company’s guidance for the second quarter revenue is between 87.4 and 9.37 billion. Dolphin Jun’s estimated bicycle revenue should be about 32.5-33 million, and by the end of the second quarter, basically all NIO models have been transferred to the NT2.0 platform.

In addition, although the overall price of lithium carbonate has reached about 300,000 from the beginning of the 190,000, compared with the previous 500,000, there is still a trend to fall, and the decline in battery costs will also help NIO to ease the cost pressure.

Of course, under the brand tone of NIO’s "no price reduction", the real increase in gross profit margin still depends on whether NIO really reaches the target of 30,000 monthly sales and pulls up the capacity utilization rate. And on this point, Dolphin Jun is still skeptical:

1) In terms of the current trend, the Chinese luxury car market above 30w seems to have a relatively tenacious vitality of fuel vehicles, and the penetration rate is relatively slow. At present, it is less than 20%, which is not as good as the overall pure electric penetration rate.

2) In the absence of insufficient facilities such as fast charging/power exchange, when pure electric luxury cars further go out of first-tier cities such as Shanghai and further penetrate into the lower-tier market, it seems that there is no ideal range extension model that can better target user pain points.

Third, the income pulls the hips, the natural result of poor sales

NIO’s revenue 10.70 billion in the first quarter, growing by only 8% year-on-year, significantly lower than the market consensus expectations 11.60 billion, clearing inventory and other low unit prices are the core issues.

The only thing that came up a little bit this quarter was auto revenue other than auto sales, which hit 1.45 billion this quarter, a lot more than the market expected 11-1.20 billion.

NIO’sOther business revenue sources primarily include revenue from the sale of energy and service packages, as well as revenue generated from embedded products and services that go hand in hand with vehicle sales, such as charging stations, in-vehicle internet connectivity services, and more.

The company has always maintained a high-end strategic positioning, hoping to provide better service and experience to car owners in terms of brand management and user community through better gross margins.

In addition, at the Berlin conference of NIO last October, the overseas models were mainly charged by fixed lease and floating subscription. For example, the rental time provided by the fixed rental fee is generally 1-5 years, and the fixed monthly rent is adopted. For short-term flexible cars, monthly subscriptions can be used. Short-term subscriptions can be cancelled at any time two weeks in advance. Vehicles can be replaced at will, and as the age of the car increases, the monthly fee will be reduced accordingly.

The additional growth in other revenue this quarter is expected to be related to NIO’s overseas sales growth: from January to April, NIO sold more than 150 vehicles in Germany, more than 184 in Norway, and more than 450 worldwide, which should contribute to this part of the revenue.

But the problem here is that, because these markets are in the early stages of development, when they contribute revenue, they basically lose money early on. So the rest of the business saw revenue increase this quarter, but the losses were also severe: less than 1.50 billion revenue in the first quarter, costs were almost 1.80 billion, and the gross loss ratio was 21%.

IV. Gross profit is almost "zero"

If the fourth quarter NIO gross profit was miserable, the first quarter was even more miserable, because other income business directly gross loss, and the car sales business sold cars 9.20 billion, only earned less than 500 million gross profit. The overall group level gross profit is only 160 million, no better.

Invest "a lot of money"

Although after subtracting external costs, only gross profit 100 million, but expenses are not less: R & D expenses 3.10 billion, basically within the normal range between 30 and 3.50 billion of the company’s original quarterly guidance; sales and administrative expenses 2.45 billion, just a little less than the market expected 2.70 billion.

Overall, due to the fact that NIO wants to do too many things and has too many dreams in R & D, the possibility of cost reduction in R & D is very small. So far, I have not seen it openly reflect on cost reduction and efficiency like Xiaopeng.

In the sales system, NIO has always been a "warm user" approach, and sales have not seen very clear signs of control.

Six, NIO has passed the life and death tribulation again

The same painting style as the fourth quarter, but it came more tragically: delivery pulling hips, income pulling hips, gross profit margin pulling hips, cost and investment rigidity, and operating profits are hotWhat is it?

The single-quarter operating loss 5.10 billion; the operating loss rate was 48%, a new high in the past three years.

Summary:

In the eyes of Dolphin Lord, internal reflection and rapid adjustment in the current state of NIO may be more important than boasting and describing the grand blueprint of 5-10 years.

　　On October 24th, Uber invited some customers to participate in the closed beta before going online to experience the new "Uber Uber China" app in depth.

　　Uber insiders have previously revealed that this new app will combine the most popular features of Uber and Didi in one. The first version is the most concise version, and it will continue to be upgraded and optimized in the next few months. Let’s try it out first and see what changes this "new Uber" has made.

　　Before talking about changes, let’s talk about what hasn’t changed:

　　First, the minimalist aesthetic. Everyone’s favorite Uber, clean interface remains the same.

　　After the download and installation are completed, the icon still maintains the style of the original version, the only difference is that the word "new" is added in the lower right corner of Icon, which is different from the old version in a simple and clear way.

　　From the surface, the logo and naming of the original app are the same as before, and the login process has not changed.

　　There will be a seamless transition between the old and new apps. Uber’s existing users in China will be able to continue to log in with their original accounts, and most users will no longer need to re-enter their passwords and bind payment methods when using the new app.

　　The taxi process has not changed. Get off the bus and pay or just leave. The payment method is secret-free payment…

　　Everything is the same. So where is this new Uber app "new"?

　　A closer comparison of the old and new versions of Uber will reveal that some of the more obvious changes are that the Uber app has added many functions on the Didi app, such as WeChat docking, online real-time customer service, etc., but also "missing" some functions and modules in the old version of the app, such as globalization function.

　　The first point is faster. The more obvious user-related change is that the download package size is the previous (iOS) and (Android).

　　The overall feeling after opening the new app is that it feels a lot faster. The new version loads extremely fast, and the jumping between pages is smoother than before.

　　This feeling is demonstrated after querying the properties.

　　The relevant attributes show that the installation file of the original version of the Uber App has reached 91MB, while the newly downloaded Uber App is only 22.6MB in size. The Android download package has also changed from 21.2MB to 10.6MB, and the installation package size is only 1/4 of the original download package size.

　　It is speculated that this can be achieved for a variety of reasons: because the Uber interface and product line are relatively simple, without the need for so many modules, and the technology and methods of the product team are different from those in the past.

　　It is revealed that in addition to the smaller download package, the new app’s memory, traffic, and power will be more economical in the past, and the page jump speed will also be faster.

　　Second: Add real-time online manual customer service

　　The help page is connected to real-time online manual customer service.

　　As a veteran user of Uber, in the past, although seeking complaints and suggestions could be reported through the message in the app, although this method has become very popular abroad, Chinese consumers are not used to it. Didi customer service has telephone customer service, so it can be expected that the merged Uber will also provide telephone customer service.

　　The new version adds "vehicle color information," a feature that is also available on Didi’s app but not previously available at Uber, and can help taxi riders see vehicles at first glance.

　　Fourth, it is easier to communicate with the driver. To communicate with the driver, you can leave a message in the app, no longer just rely on phone calls.

　　In the past, Uber was used to connect with drivers, and by "contacting the driver", the system would dial the driver’s phone number. In some cities of Uber, some cities have previously been able to "talk" with drivers by leaving messages in the app.

　　The fifth change is that after a year and a half, WeChat has finally developed the new Uber. You can use WeChat to share routes and recommend friends for rides

　　The safety of online car-hailing has always been everyone’s top concern. The "share real-time itinerary" function was first launched by Uber. Previously, on the Uber app, real-time online itinerary webpages could be shared by text message, and family and friends could know the real-time location of passengers by clicking on the webpage.

　　The new app still maintains this function, but WeChat and QQ channels have been added to the sharing channel, allowing users to share their real-time routes in more ways.

　　WeChat’s overnight forceful entry into the Uber app is unexpected, but it seems reasonable. In addition to sharing trips, you can also use WeChat and QQ to recommend ride discounts to others, which is also a function that Uber’s old app does not have.

　　Sixth, focus. The new version currently only retains two product lines, "People’s Uber +" and "Preferred Cars", focusing on the sharing economy and compliant vehicles

　　The interface, the map, the familiar red car, the estimated time to prompt the estimated arrival of the nearest vehicle, and the "Click to use the car" button all maintained the original style, while the function keys below were streamlined to the greatest extent, retaining only "People’s Uber +". (Including carpooling) and "Preferred car" two main businesses.

　　In the past, Uber has had different types and numbers of product lines in various cities (People’s Uber, Preferred Car, Privilege Car, Cross-City Car, 7-Seater Car, etc.). It is known that after the launch of the new app, most cities across the country have only temporarily retained the People’s Uber + and Preferred Car product lines, and other product lines may be added in the future.

　　The most significant change is that foreign users may be affected.

　　Uber’s new app is "missing" some features and modules from the old version of the app, such as temporarily unable to use overseas, missing the English version of the interface and temporarily unable to bind international credit cards. According to internal sources, these features are expected to be gradually improved in future upgrades.

　　As we all know, in the past three decades, Suzuki has been a great success in the Chinese market with its environmental protection + small car strategy, winning the reputation of energy conservation and environmental protection. To take a recent example, in the 2014 average fuel consumption of passenger car enterprises announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently, Changan Suzuki won the energy-saving championship among nearly 100 large domestic passenger car enterprises participating in the publicity with the stunning data of 5.8L/100km.

　　Suzuki’s perseverance has provided an opportunity for Suzuki to usher in a new round of leaps and bounds.

　　With the increasing air pollution caused by factors such as motor vehicle displacement in recent years, advocating energy conservation and environmental protection has become a consensus of the whole society. Especially in this year’s government work report, it is clearly stated that it is necessary to "fight the tough battle of energy conservation and emission reduction and environmental governance" and "control motor vehicle exhaust". The attention of the national level and the improvement of environmental awareness of ordinary people also call on car companies to fulfill more social responsibilities and introduce greener and more environmentally friendly products through various means such as innovative technology.

　　It can be seen that Suzuki’s car-making philosophy and long-standing efforts coincide with the general trend of today’s China. Especially for Changan Suzuki, which has raised "energy conservation and environmental protection" and built "low-energy-consuming and high-quality" cars to the height of its corporate mission, the weather, the location, and the people are all available. Good wind is waiting for Kunpeng to take advantage of!

　　How big is the market for new energy vehicles going to the countryside? Recently, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (hereinafter referred to as the China Automobile Association) issued the "Notice on the Application of New Energy Vehicles Going to the Countryside in 2022" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"). According to this document, in order to continuously eliminate old and discontinued models and promote more new energy models that adapt to rural consumption characteristics into the model catalog for going to the countryside, car companies need to make a unified declaration for the models participating in the going to the countryside. The deadline for declaration is March 10, 2022.

　　Fu Bingfeng, vice-chairperson and secretary-general of the China Automobile Association, said: "This is a critical period for the promotion of new energy vehicles. It is very important to sink into the fourth and fifth tier markets and help rural consumption upgrade. This is an incremental market."

　　According to the data of the China Automobile Association, the cumulative sales volume of new energy vehicles to the countryside in 2021 was 1.068 million, an increase of 169.2% year-on-year. In addition, among the 66 models of new energy vehicles to the countryside in 2021, the vehicles were mainly small and mini vehicles with a price of less than 100,000 yuan and a cruising range of less than 300 kilometers. It is generally believed in the industry that the small and micro models of new energy vehicles to the countryside will replace low-speed electric vehicles such as "Laotou Le" and have good prospects in the rural market.

　　Sinking or normalization, replacing rural "old man music"

　　In recent years, the income growth and consumption expenditure growth of rural residents in China are faster than those of urban residents, and their motorized travel needs are urgent, but the overall vehicle penetration rate is low. The electric vehicle utilization rate of rural residents is less than 1%, which is only 1/3 of that of urban residents, and has sufficient room for growth.

　　In the industry’s view, the current auto growth area in our country has begun to expand and transfer from the east to the central and western regions, from first- and second-tier cities to third- and fourth-tier cities, and from cities to rural areas. According to the "China Rural Electric Vehicle Travel Research" released by the China Electric Vehicle 100 People’s Association, by 2030, the number of cars per thousand people in rural areas in our country will reach 159, and the total number of cars will be 70.01 million; this figure also includes the rigid demand of consumers in rural areas for the first purchase, and also includes the replacement demand for low-speed electric vehicles. The industry believes that the electrification of the rural market has great potential.

　　From the demand of third- and fourth-tier cities and rural markets, consumers travel radius is small, more than 80% of households overall average daily travel mileage of less than 50 kilometers, short and medium range new energy models will be able to meet the needs of mainstream consumer groups; from the product and price span, the mileage of 120 kilometers to 400 kilometers, the price of the model between 30,000 – 80,000 yuan is more in line with market demand; from the rural market as a whole, due to the driving license, driver’s license and other restrictions, commonly known as "old man Le" low-speed electric vehicles in the rural market more popular.

　　Therefore, among the 66 models of new energy vehicles to the countryside in 2021, the vehicles are mainly small and mini cars with a price of less than 100,000 yuan and a cruising range of less than 300 kilometers, and the car companies make profits ranging from 3,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan.

　　Xu Haidong, deputy chief engineer of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, believes that new energy vehicles have done better in terms of quality, handling, etc., with higher comfort and safety. The low cost of the A00 class, which focuses on the rural market, has also been highlighted to the greatest extent.

　　The industry generally believes that A00-level new energy passenger vehicles are a substitute for low-speed electric vehicles such as "Old Man Le", and have a good development prospect in the rural market. Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, also has the same view. He believes that A00-level new energy passenger vehicles have a good market prospect in the rural market and can also help improve the travel environment in rural areas.

　　Li Jinyong, president of the New Energy Vehicle Branch of the Automobile Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, once said, "In 2021, unrestricted cities contributed 70% of the sales of new energy vehicles, of which 58% of users purchased A00-class electric vehicles. A00-class electric vehicles will take the lead in replacing fuel vehicles of the same level based on the advantages of more than half the travel cost of fuel vehicles. If the lack of core is not serious, the production and sales will reach 1.50 million to 2 million vehicles in 2022."

　　The industry believes that, although there are fewer A00-class models currently available, due to the fact that they have attracted more attention under the impetus of new energy going to the countryside, car companies are also harvesting sales performance in new energy vehicles going to the countryside, so there may be more products developed for third- and fourth-tier and township rural areas.

　　The industry expects that in the next few years, if the motorized travel needs of rural residents can be met, it is expected that a 500 billion-scale super car market will be successfully leveraged, among which small economical electric vehicles will become the main new products in the rural market, or will be formed in third- and fourth-tier cities and rural areas.

　　Sales of new energy vehicles to the countryside are growing faster than the overall market

　　2022 is already the third year for new energy vehicles to enter the countryside.

　　In July 2020, MIIT, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the "Notice on Launching Activities of New Energy Vehicles to the Countryside", which proposed to carry out activities of new energy vehicles to the countryside in China; thus also opened the curtain of new energy vehicles to the countryside. In March 2021, MIIT, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Comprehensive Department of the National Energy Administration jointly issued the "Notice on Launching Activities of New Energy Vehicles to the Countryside in 2021", which made it clear that activities of new energy vehicles to the countryside would be carried out from March to December. In 2021, the area of new energy vehicles to the countryside will be further expanded, from 5 provinces in 2020 to 11 provinces.

　　From the recommended list of two batches of new energy vehicles going to the countryside in 2021, the main enterprises and models are independent brands and new car-making forces, including SAIC Motor Group, Dongfeng Motor, Great Wall Motor, BYD, Jianghuai Automobile, Chery Automobile, Weimar Automobile, and Zero Run Automobile.

　　According to the data of the China Automobile Association, the cumulative sales volume of new energy vehicles to the countryside in 2021 was 1.068 million, an increase of 169.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate was about 10 percentage points higher than that of the overall new energy vehicle market.

　　From the beginning of 2022, new energy vehicles going to the countryside will once again be included in the key tasks of various ministries and commissions.

　　In early January, the "Opinions" jointly issued by the National Energy Administration, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the National Rural Revitalization Bureau mentioned that it is necessary to guide charging business operators and new energy automobile enterprises to build charging and swapping power stations in large villages and towns, tourist attractions, and public parking lots. Priority is given to promoting the use of electric vehicles in official vehicles, buses, and taxis in counties, and promoting the application of new energy vehicles in tourist attractions and characteristic towns. Promote new energy vehicles to become an important part of rural microgrids, and vigorously support local development of new energy vehicles and home appliances to the countryside.

　　On January 21, the National Development and Reform Commission and other seven departments issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Green Consumption", which proposes to carry out in-depth activities of new energy vehicles to the countryside, encourage automobile companies to develop and promote new energy vehicles that are suitable for the travel needs of rural residents, of high quality and low price, advanced and applicable, and promote the improvement of the rural operation and maintenance service system. Reasonably guide consumers to purchase lightweight, miniaturized, and low-emission passenger vehicles.

　　According to the latest "Notice" issued by the China Automobile Association, the declared models of new energy vehicles going to the countryside still need to meet four conditions. First, the product quality is stable and suitable for rural consumption scenarios. Second, the price range of the model is basically the same as that of rural consumers. Third, there will be no suspension of production or sales of models in the next six months. Fourth, there is a suitable after-sales and sales network.

　　The shortcomings need to be made up, and the supporting measures should also be submerged into the countryside

　　It is generally believed that there are independent courtyards in rural areas, and the charging demand of new energy vehicles is relatively easy to meet. Consumers in rural areas can charge at home through slow charging. However, with the increase of vehicle mileage and driving radius, public charging piles also have an addressable market demand in rural areas.

　　At present, domestic charging piles are mainly concentrated in first- and second-tier cities, while the proportion of public charging piles in rural areas has been hovering at a low level; at the same time, the power grid infrastructure in rural areas is relatively weak. Cui Dongshu said that the entire infrastructure and supporting services in the rural market are still lacking, and a large number of charging equipment needs to be built.

　　In addition, the "Rural Electrification Survey Report" released by the China Electric Vehicle 100 People’s Association pointed out that although there are many models and versions of new energy passenger vehicles on sale in the domestic market, the sales of new energy vehicles to rural areas are still very limited. Existing models are greatly misaligned with the expectations of rural residents, and at the same time cannot meet the demand for light cargo in rural areas.

　　Not only that, after-sales is also a major problem. From the perspective of after-sales network installation, fuel vehicles are more complete, while the after-sales network of pure electric vehicles is more complete in first- and second-tier cities, while rural areas are still relatively lacking.

　　Xu Haidong said, "Car companies should further understand the needs of rural consumers, do a good job in cost control and quality control; in the current situation with a small number of outlets, do a good job in after-sales services and build infrastructure in rural areas."

　　In addition, the level of subsidies will also become a factor affecting the deployment of new energy vehicles to the countryside. Xu Haidong analyzed that there is currently a lack of directly quantified state subsidies; while local government subsidies vary, and many fuel vehicles and new energy subsidies are not separated, and the time is not uniform. All of the above will reduce the degree of incentive for consumers.

　　Although there are many shortcomings in new energy vehicles that need to be filled, it is undeniable that the third- and fourth-tier markets and rural markets are small in size but have great potential. They are one of the future incremental markets for new energy vehicles and will become a "booster" for the growth of the new energy vehicle market.
