The first time I met Yang Zi was in the family sitcom "Family with Children" that premiered in 2005. "Xiaoxue" with a high ponytail left a deep impression on the audience in front of the screen because of her clever and clever image. Recently, "Chenghuan" went LIVE on CCTV’s eight prime sets, and Yang Zi starred in the play as the daughter of the family in Shanghai. From "Xiaoxue" to "Mai Chenghuan", has Yang Zi changed?

"Xiaoxue and Mai Chenghuan are indeed different. The overall atmosphere of’Family with Children ‘is warm and happy, and Xiaoxue’s childhood is carefree, so she shows more of a lively and outgoing, innocent and quirky side." In an exclusive interview with Jiefang Daily Shangguan News, Yang Zi’s chatterbox was opened from the difference between the two "daughters".

"As I grew up, I found that many families were not like this. Many girls and mothers would quarrel about various things in life, including jobs, marriages, and how girls should survive in this society. The more noisy they were, the more they didn’t understand each other, and the less they knew what the problem was. And because of the constant blood relationship, they could only cold war, run away, and avoid going home during the holidays. Mai Chenghuan was one of them."

"The Story of Chenghuan" begins with the Mai family’s "family model" – a strong mother, a muddy father, and a obedient daughter and younger brother. He Saifei’s mother, Liu Wanyu, is used to controlling everything, including her daughter’s love and marital status. Mai Chenghuan, who has been working and has been an adult for a long time, even the details of his relationship have to be traced by his mother. Like many ordinary families in China, the Mai family has a warm and close parent-child relationship, but there are also difficult contradictions between the two generations due to differences in ideas.

"Chenghuan’s family is not particularly wealthy in Shanghai. The family of four is crowded in a small house in the alley, and the house leaks from time to time. The younger brother who goes to college doesn’t even have his own room, so he can only sleep on the camp bed on the balcony. Mom and Dad look to demolition to change their lives. Although the conditions are poor, they are better than warmth and intimacy." In such a family environment, Yang Zi said, Liu Wanyu is a typical "Chinese mother". In the early years, she married her father in the alley for staying in Shanghai, but she was actually dissatisfied with the stretched living conditions. "In the long family life, my father’s personality is relatively soft, which makes my mother develop a hard-spoken, soft-hearted, strong, and all-inclusive character. She hopes that her daughter will not be like herself, and can marry better and suffer less."

This is the third time Yang Zi has worked with He Saifei. "I was quite excited to learn that Teacher He Saifei plays the mother. She takes her work very seriously and has a lot of life experience. Many of her on-site treatments can make the mother-daughter relationship more delicate and real." In life, Yang Zi said, He Saifei is also an interesting person. "He will chat with us, tell some small jokes, and recommend some good things that she often uses and is very practical. In this way, we become like a real mother and daughter. This gives me more and more inspiration to create together."

On the one hand, Mak Chenghuan, who is about to turn 30, is still the pearl in the palm of his parents’ eyes that has not grown up. Even when she comes back from overtime, her father has to go to the alley to pick it up. On the other hand, she also faces the pressure of her parents to urge marriage, especially the disparity in economic conditions between her and her boyfriend Xin Jialiang, which buries the contradictions and conflicts between the two families. How Mak Chenghuan completes her self-growth in the play is the biggest test for Yang Zi, just like the fate of the characters implied by the name "Chenghuan". "She was named’Chenghuan ‘by her parents and hoped to be’under Chenghuan’s knees’, and the first 29 years of her life completely grew into what her parents expected. It was not until she was 30 years old that she began to understand the name again and learn how to’Chenghuan himself ‘and’please herself’." Yang Zi said that when she first got the script, M

In Yang Zi’s opinion, under the influence of her strong mother, Mai Chenghuan habitually compromised and dedicated to others in character. This is reflected not only in the family, but also in Mai Chenghuan’s attitude towards her boyfriend and colleagues. From helping her boyfriend with housework to bringing food to colleagues, she almost always chose to give. Compared with Xiaoxue’s carefree, Chenghuan has more helplessness of a real adult, and she lives without herself and is not so happy. "This story tells that Chenghuan does not know how to face this kind of discomfort and learns to be self-consistent." The Book of Chenghuan "made me have a deeper understanding and thinking about the identity of’daughter ‘."

In the latest plot, a monologue by Mai Chenghuan was scanned on the Internet. The Mai family discussed marriage with the Xin family, but the Xin family, who felt that they were well-off, did not give the Mai family’s parents the respect they deserved. In the face of the difficulties of the Xin family, Mai Chenghuan, played by Yang Zi, is generous, reasonable, and shows his attitude neither humble nor overbearing. In this scene, Mai Chenghuan is growing up, and the theme of growth also runs through "Chenghuan". Including the later period when Mai Chenghuan’s mother tricked her into attending the engagement party, she finally faced the conflict with her mother, which meant a change in role.

"Under the influence of the family, Cheng Huan became a obedient post-it note girl, doing everything according to her mother’s arrangement, trying to live the way her mother hoped, enduring everything, enduring it, enduring it, and enduring it again. When this strong love gradually turned into unbridled control and bondage, Cheng Huan finally longed to rebel once, to break out of the previous obedient mode, try to establish her own boundaries with her mother, and change and live her life according to her own wishes. The plot shows this process of desensitization." Yang Zi said.

For Ms. Yang, the most interesting aspect of the family portrait drama is its light-hearted and humorous approach to a realistic topic – how a mother who is used to self-sacrifice and a daughter who is good at guilt and compromise should get along. "I would be curious about how Chenghuan, in such a Chinese mother-daughter relationship, would choose to resist, to break through this strong love, and how to find a balance with her mother and achieve self-growth."

Most of the scenes in "Cheng Huan" are set in Shanghai. The Bund, Huangpu River, old bungalows, alleys, double-decker buses and other scenes are all familiar to Shanghai audiences. This shooting also made Beijing-born Yang Zi more familiar with the life in Shanghai’s alleys.

In order to get close to the character, she specially went to observe the neighborhood atmosphere and life atmosphere in Shanghai Lane, and also learned the Shanghai language from the seniors in Shanghai, imitating the tone and intonation of Shanghainese people. "Everyone will also teach me a lot of localized details, such as the way the play repeats words to call’Dad ‘and’Mom’, these experiences are very fresh."

For Yang Zi, the most memorable part of the whole filming process was not the heavy scenes, but a relatively flat family scene. "The plot is that Cheng Huan is listening to his parents, and the conversation between the family members is also very ordinary and happy. After listening to the plot, I can leave. But at that moment, I found that I couldn’t walk anymore, and I wanted to cry for no reason. It seems that I have a more complicated understanding of human nature. As people grow up, there will be more and more sour and helpless, but because the responsibility on my shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, I can’t easily vent my emotions."

The feeling is precious, she said, "and I remember it so well that I hope I can use it to further enrich the performance."

Fan Bingbing was unhappy and choked. He was older than Chen Bolin. "Guanyin Mountain" was cut for 5 minutes

　　When the media asked Fan Bingbing how he fell in love with an actor so much younger than her, Fan Bingbing instantly collapsed, "Chen Bolin is not much younger than me, just 1 year old, usually called’similar age ‘." Fan Bingbing looked a little helpless, hurriedly ended the answer to this question, and turned to his evaluation of the movie, "As Chen Bolin said," Guanyin Mountain "is not an art film, but a work of art!"

　　"We removed a nailihu scene," Mr. Li explained hastily. "There’s nothing wrong with it, mainly to make the story more compact and direct."

　　Although summer has entered, Wang Wenjun still has lingering fears when he recalls the Spring Festival that has just passed.

　　The sudden arrival of the epidemic caught him off guard, who was already preparing for the hot business of the Spring Festival. On January 25, Chengdu issued a notice banning the holding of group catering business activities, including rural self-organized banquets and dam banquets.

　　Wang Wenjun is the founder of a well-known hot pot restaurant in Chengdu. In Sichuan, where there are more than 30,000 hot pot restaurants. Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the peak season of the catering industry has dimmed without warning. A series of difficulties have weighed on Wang Wenjun’s head due to market closures, inventory backlogs, labor and rental costs.

　　Every day when I open my eyes, more than 100,000 yuan is gone

　　Selling vegetables to reduce wages, stop losses and reduce costs, and save yourself to protect your vitality

　　"We walked all the way from a small hot pot restaurant with only 17 tables, and we have never encountered such a situation. The store is closed, and the income is gone; the salary needs to be paid, and the rent needs to be paid… As soon as we open our eyes every day, more than 100,000 yuan is gone. Coupled with the excess inventory of ingredients prepared in advance, the electricity bill of the freezer alone can’t stand it." Under multiple pressures, Wang Wenjun "almost lost half of his head".

　　Survival is the first priority. Wang Wenjun and other company managers together, as soon as possible to save themselves from the siege, is the top priority.

　　On the one hand, they would sell the excess food stock to nearby residents at a fair price or even at a discount. On the other hand, they would inform employees in the city to take turns to work, and non-local employees would work from home. The management would take the lead in adjusting salaries, and only keep the basic salary and social security, further reducing labor costs.

　　"The rent is a big part of the cost of the hot pot store. We have to thank the competent authorities for helping us coordinate the property. We reduced the rent by 1.20 million yuan before and after, and also won tax incentives." Wang Wenjun sighed.

　　To reduce inventory, reduce costs, and reduce rents, although the hot pot restaurant suffered heavy losses during the closing period of more than a month, "fortunately, it saved itself in time and didn’t hurt its vitality". What he didn’t expect was that the originally inconspicuous takeaway service and the live broadcast that he had never set foot in had become the "savior" of his next reorganization.

　　Dine-in and takeout, who is the protagonist?

　　Meet demand, expand takeout, and promote franchise stores

　　"You have a new takeaway order! Please pay attention to check it!" As soon as he walked into the lobby of the Chengdu Huabaifang store, he heard the pleasant bell of the online platform. The store manager said that the takeaway received more than 1,500 orders a day at most, and the turnover exceeded 500,000 yuan.

　　In 2016, the company launched a takeaway service. "But hot pot still has a taste for dine-in, and takeout has always been a’supporting role ‘." Wang Wenjun said that after the resumption of work and production, the demand for takeout has increased greatly. There were only two stores to deliver takeout, but soon it increased to nine. "We make takeaway posters every day, and mobilize employees to forward them together with the official Weibo and WeChat, so that relatives, friends and more residents know that we can deliver takeout. In a week, the number of takeaway orders has skyrocketed from more than 300 orders per day to more than 1,000 orders."

　　In order to attract a franchise partner, the company urgently formulated a support strategy, actively arranged takeaway operation equipment, sorted out operation manuals and videos, and launched "fully sealed hot pot takeaway service" in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi’an and other places. In addition to the takeaway platform, the company’s WeChat official account also opened the online ordering entrance.

　　The delivery staff delivered goods without contact, carrying health certificates and peace of mind cards with them. When there were many orders, Wang Wenjun himself also rode an electric car and became a "delivery brother".

　　The takeaway area is limited, what should I do if I can’t deliver it?

　　Live streaming, cross-border cooperation, new retail

　　"I want to eat hot pot, but I live too far away to deliver food, and I can’t make it myself. What should I do?" A few days after the delivery service was resumed, this message in the background of Weibo attracted Wang Wenjun’s attention and thought.

　　"Although it can’t be delivered, we can teach them how to make hot pot through online live broadcast." His idea was immediately in line with a live broadcast platform, and the live broadcast room was quickly set up.

　　"Our main feature is’spicy ‘, so the hot pot base will use three kinds of chili peppers: sea pepper, millet spicy, and devil spicy. Soak it in warm water before serving in the pot and then smash it. Combining the flavors will produce a unique fragrance." During the live broadcast, the chef carefully reminded that when frying the hot pot base, the onion, ginger, and garlic should be fried in the pot until golden in turn and then quickly removed, so as to avoid the mushy taste, spicy but not dry. The "take home "-like explanation, the feedback is gratifying.

　　"Although the preparation was rushed and we went LIVE at the meal point, there were still more than 87,000 netizens guarding the live stream in the first live stream, indicating that our live stream was too’dinner ‘." Wang Wenjun said that while the chef was live "teaching", he also launched his own various base material bags, which were sold with "significant hot pot other" such as chicken in bowls and self-heating rice. Consumers can place orders online.

　　"I’m really about to cry, I’m going to buy the materials" "The base material is not easy to fry, but it is convenient and affordable to place an order online"… The enthusiastic interaction of the audience brought great confidence to Wang Wenjun. Strike while the iron is hot, he immediately planned and launched activities such as "Contactless Takeaway Delivery with confidence" with local media in Chengdu, and completed more than ten live broadcast activities of eating hot pot at home. "I didn’t expect the effect of cross-border cooperation to be so good, and the live broadcast can’t stop once it starts. Barber shops, gyms, milk, beer and other brands and stores have come to us to cooperate and provide our diners with products and vouchers through takeaway."

　　"Boss! Another hairy belly!" As night fell, Wang Wenjun’s hot pot restaurant rang out the familiar call for food. On March 26, Chengdu fully resumed the normal business activities of catering and other service industries.

　　After many months, looking at the diners queuing outside the door, although Wang Wenjun was no longer anxious and confused, his nervous tension still did not relax. "Whether it is takeout or live broadcast, it is all’wartime blood transfusion ‘. The epidemic has survived really hard, and it is also a rare stress testing. It forces us to re-examine and think about how to make efforts in the new retail and intelligent fields in the next step, and improve the ability of’postwar blood making’."

　　Reporter’s notes

　　Improve your ability and stay calm

　　Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, our country’s catering consumption has been hit hard before and after the Spring Festival. Some catering companies have responded to market changes to face difficulties. The current difficulties have passed, and the long-term development path still needs to be considered. Traditional eating habits such as shared meals and joint meals are changing, and consumers’ consideration of safety and health is increasing, which may have a more far-reaching impact.

　　In this context, many catering companies have turned their attention to the new retail sector, grabbing share through online sales and processing special dishes into standardized goods. Some companies have tasted the sweetness for the first time, but for most small and medium-sized catering enterprises, this is still a new topic. Not only test the financial strength, talent accumulation level, but also test the ability to integrate market resources.

　　On the one hand, keep up with the changes in consumer psychology, advocate the meal sharing system, cultivate eating habits such as "public chopsticks and spoons", and promote the healthy development of catering culture; on the other hand, innovate the way of catering consumption, do refined management, find a development path in line with their own brand positioning, and transform and upgrade in a timely manner. Only by truly improving the "immunity" of the enterprise can we not be surprised and turn threats into opportunities.

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.

Andy Lau "kissed" with Big S in public, claiming to yearn for "polygamy"

　　　　　　　 Andy Lau was Big S’s idol for many years. When he learned that he was going to cooperate with Andy Lau, Big S was very nervous, and it happened that the first scene between the two was a kiss scene. Looking back on the scene at that time, Big S still remembered it vividly, "My sister and my mother knew that I was going to shoot a kiss scene with Andy Lau, and they all excitedly asked to watch it.

　　　　　　　 In the interactive game at the scene, Andy Lau had to satisfy the fan’s request to "offer a kiss". When Xu Jiao and Shi Yunpeng, two young actors, kissed him instead of the fan, Andy Lau took the initiative to ask Big S to kiss him, "Don’t Big S come up? I want to kiss her." Facing the invitation of the idol, Big S was a little shy, but he didn’t expect Lau Dehua to "anxiously" go forward and kiss Big S, but, cunning, he used his hat to block both of their faces and offered a fake kiss by borrowing. In the film, Andy Lau from the future and Big S have only been in a relationship for 30 days, and he has never forgotten his dead "wife" Fan Bingbing. The affectionate Liu Tianwang wants to have two "lovers" at the same time, "I can’t choose between them. The future world I envision has resumed’polygamy ‘."

　　　　　　　 On the same day, Andy Lau brought the ambiguous part of the film with Big S to the scene, not only acting very gentleman, but also often humorously showing "love" to Big S. When asked about the type of girl he likes the most, Andy Lau confessed that it is a girl with long hair, "Big S now has long hair, but it used to be short hair, like a boy. It’s just that we met too late. This is all fate." When Big S revealed his penchant for eating peanuts, Andy Lau said, "Because of my high cholesterol, I have quit for a year." Then he did not forget to add a sentence, "Alas, I quit after I separated from Big S. It’s pointless to do anything without her." A humorous "confession" amused the audience with laughter and screams.
