India is crazy about Xiaomi TV, and Chinese manufacturing should conquer the world like this

  [Global Network Technology Report, Reporter Chen Jian] In recent years, the development speed of China’s technology has changed with each passing day. China’s technology industry has also led the transformation from "Made in China" to "Created in China". Today, a group of Internet companies represented by Xiaomi have emerged in China. They focus on quality, so that "Made in China" gradually gets rid of the traditional impression of low price and low quality in the eyes of the world.

  In 2017, Xiaomi rose against the trend

  2017 was a year of fruitful results for China’s technology industry. A large number of representative major scientific and technological innovations such as Jiaolong, Tianyan, Wukong, Mozi, Huiyan, and large aircraft have emerged one after another, constantly refreshing the public’s scientific and technological perception. Quantum regulation, iron-based superconductivity, and synthetic biology have entered the world’s leading ranks, continuously enhancing people’s sense of scientific and technological pride. But after all, these cutting-edge things are still far from people’s lives, and people still feel the progress of science and technology from daily consumer electronics. The update and iteration of mobile phones, TVs, and other products have made people feel the strength and confidence of domestic brands. Even in many regions around the world, people are eager to enjoy the experience brought by Chinese electronic products.

  2017 was not an easy year for the mobile phone industry and the TV industry. In the field of home appliances, according to the total data of Aowei Cloud Network (AVC) omni-channel push, the retail sales volume of the color TV market in 2017 was 47.52 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 6.6%. The increase in panel prices from the end of 2016 to 2017 caused many color TV companies to increase costs, and their net profits fell one after another. Coupled with the decline in market capacity and sales, many companies experienced negative growth, which was miserable. Even the extremely hot Internet brands have lost their voice, and some Internet brands have even suffered "premature death".

  In the field of mobile phones, according to the data, the domestic market shipments 491 million in 2017, down 12.3% year-on-year. Especially in the fourth quarter of 2017, the decline in shipments exceeded 20%, and the market reshuffle was further intensified. Due to the acceleration of the industry reshuffle in 2017, the concentration of mobile phone brands was further enhanced; China, O, V, and Mi grew rapidly, ranking three to six in the global TOP10 brand shipment rankings in 2017, followed by Samsung, iPhone.

  In the context of the global downturn, Xiaomi, which was sung bad in 2016, suddenly made a comeback and hit a lot of people in the face. According to data from Oviyun.com, Xiaomi TV 4A 32 inches was officially mass-produced from July 10, 2017, and 1 million units were officially offline on March 9, 2018. Xiaomi TV 4A 32 inches reached the sales volume of 1 million units in only 8 months. This data is of great significance in the TV field, because at present, in the domestic TV sales, only another Internet TV 40-inch and 50-inch TVs have reached a single product sales of over one million, but it took 13 months and 24 months respectively. And Xiaomi mobile phones have re-entered the top five in China.

  Xiaomi TV is applauded at home, and Indian rice noodles are even more crazy for it

  The reporter looked at the evaluation of major e-commerce platforms, and the Xiaomi TV 4A 32-inch has a high praise rate of 99% on Suning.com, and even 100% in JD.com. And according to the reporter’s survey, the repair rate of Xiaomi TV has been controlled to 0.43%, far below the industry average of 2.5%, and the good quality has led the industry by a large margin. The quality control of any product is also the key to the success of this product.

  In overseas markets, taking India as an example, Xiaomi’s TV has also achieved impressive results. On the day of Xiaomi TV’s first sale in India on February 22, Xiaomi TV 4 55-inch 10-second lightning sold out. After the release of Xiaomi TV 4 A series 32-inch and 43-inch new products, it was snapped up by Indian fans, even to the extent of exaggeration than in China.




  India’s TV market is also in a period of transition. Many ordinary users can only choose expensive international brands or relatively low-priced but outdated models. After the thousand-yuan Xiaomi TV products enter India, they can fill the gap in the market. As an Internet company, Xiaomi also makes localized customizations for local users in India.

  While Xiaomi TV is recognized by Chinese consumers, it will once again go out to the world as a representative of new domestic products. Not long ago, the news of the Sri Lankan brother grabbing Xiaomi TV and flying home was still vivid in my mind. On social platforms, Indian netizens also expressed a kind of love for Xiaomi. Some Indian netizens even said that "when they see Xiaomi TV, their eyes can’t move".

  Xiaomi wants to enhance the global influence of the "Made in China" brand

  It is precisely because of the emergence of companies like Xiaomi that the "foreign brand" life of the mobile phone and TV market is miserable. As a global hegemon, Samsung once occupied the first position in the Chinese market in the mobile phone field. In just a few years, due to the rise of domestic manufacturers, Samsung’s current market share in China has been less than 1%. In the field of home appliances, Samsung, LG, Sony and other TV manufacturers are currently unable to compete with Xiaomi and Hisense in small-size TVs, so they have to focus on the high-end market above 55 inches.

  Wang Chuan has said many times: "Adhering to high cost performance and saving every penny for users is the core value of Xiaomi." In an interview with reporters, Wang Chuan of Xiaomi TV said that Xiaomi has a saying that always believe that good things are about to happen. Wang Chuan believes that as long as everyone does their best to make the product really good, and then is willing to be kind, willing to learn from Lei Feng to do good things, and provide it to customers, they will definitely win the love of users. Although I did not expect to achieve 1 million in such a short time, it is actually a natural thing. As Bezos said, there is a company that reduces costs by forcing itself to continuously improve efficiency, and then provides users with better and cheaper products. This is the case with Xiaomi.

  According to the reporter’s understanding, Xiaomi TV will also explore more markets this year, bringing the excellent experience of Xiaomi TV to the world. The only major difficulty currently plaguing Xiaomi TV is the issue of production capacity.

  Lei Jun recently proposed at the two sessions to enhance the global influence of the "Made in China" brand and comprehensively improve the level of Chinese design. In recent years, the MIX series designed by Xiaomi has been collected by three major museums around the world, and Xiaomi TV and its ecological chain products have repeatedly won international design awards. On the road of practicing innovation, Xiaomi has been at the forefront and has been recognized by the global market.

Fujian Provincial Consumer Committee builds a channel to solve the problem of consumer rights protection on e-commerce platforms

Representatives of the observation team communicated with enterprises one by one on issues such as logistics distribution, quality control, fruit and vegetable pesticide residues, and handling of returned goods that consumers are concerned about. Combined with the experience, they put forward opinions and suggestions for enterprises.

Community fresh food e-commerce, as an emerging sales model, has been accepted by more and more consumers, but consumers are still relatively unfamiliar with how enterprises operate, whether the quality of goods is controlled, whether logistics distribution is timely, and whether after-sales services can be guaranteed. Through the fresh food e-commerce and large-scale supermarket series of consumer observation activities, the Fujian Provincial Consumer Committee has opened the door for consumers to observe and supervise, and consumers have directly communicated their problems and needs to enterprises, which has enhanced the mutual trust between consumers and enterprises.

Evolving on top of high value, Geely China Star lives up to the name of "fighting for the value of Chinese cars"

"Fight for the value of Chinese cars" has never been a slogan. Geely China Star is writing the story behind this sentence with its high sales, high value and high premium, and leading Chinese brands to break through.

Data show that the total sales of China Star currently exceed 200,000 units, with monthly sales of 20,000 units, quickly detonating the Chinese auto market, becoming a phenomenon, and successfully entering the "price hinterland" of joint venture vehicles. On November 19, China Star’s flagship SUV Xingyue L ushered in evolution, and launched the Xingyue L Thor Hi · X gasoline-electric hybrid version at the Guangzhou Auto Show, breaking the inherent definition of non-traditional fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles in the past, and becoming "a higher organism in the automotive industry, a new species that continues to evolve". At the same time, Xingyue L also ushered in the first OTA upgrade of the whole vehicle, launched the "Xingyue L Star Enjoy Official Co-creation Plan", and continuously brought users a commonly used and new product experience.

Since its debut, China Star has attracted a lot of attention for breaking through the boundaries of independent and joint ventures and breaking through the barriers of technical constraints. Today, China Star not only rivals the joint venture brands, but also shows a better position in the value competition and becomes the mainstream choice of high-value.

Evolution: A number of leaders, bringing new species of gasoline-electric hybrids

China Star is a CMA high-end series created by Geely into the era of Geely 4.0 comprehensive architecture car manufacturing. It is composed of Xingyue S, Xingrui, and Xingyue L. It integrates the latest technological achievements of Geely Automobile and breaks the barriers defined by joint venture brands in the past. Among them, China Star’s flagship SUV Xingyue L not only redefines the new standard of SUV, but also has epoch-making significance.

In fact, when Xingyue L was listed, Li Shufu, chairperson of Geely Holding Group, once said, "Xingyue L not only inherits the advantages of traditional cars, but also absorbs the bright spots of new energy vehicles, opening up a new path for the transformation and upgrading of traditional cars." Now the launch of the Raytheon Hi · X gasoline-electric hybrid version once again confirms the characteristics of Xingyue L taking into account the advantages of fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles.

The evolved Xingyue L Raytheon Hi · X gasoline-electric hybrid version is Geely’s first model launched after entering the "Power 4.0 Era". It is based on the just-released "Raytheon Zhiqing Hi · X" world-class modular intelligent hybrid platform. It has far superior strength in performance, energy saving and intelligence than its Japanese hybrid competitors.

Specifically, the Xingyue L Raytheon Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version is equipped with a hybrid core drive system composed of a three-speed variable DHT Pro drive motor and a DHE15 hybrid special engine, enabling the geometric expansion of the intelligent driving mode and covering more working conditions.

Among them, the "China Heart" top ten engine DHE15 hybrid special engine, thermal efficiency has reached an unprecedented 43.32%, the coverage rate of high efficiency area is close to 50%, the maximum power is 110kW, the maximum torque is 225N · m, and the liter power and liter torque are veritable best in the same class. The three-speed electric drive transmission DHT Pro is the intelligent energy control center of this car. In the axial size of only 354mm, it is highly integrated with a generator motor and a drive motor, two motor controllers and a three-speed ratio variable speed and torsion mechanism. Under the combined action of the DHE15 engine, the average fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is as low as 4.3L, and the maximum cruising range of full fuel is 1300 kilometers, bringing the strongest power and lowest fuel consumption performance among HEV models in the same class.

At the same time, the Xingyue L Raytheon Smart Engine Hi · X gasoline-electric hybrid version has a full-speed domain parallel function, which can enter the parallel mode at a speed of more than 20km per hour to achieve ejection start, which is much lower than the parallel speed of at least 70km for Japanese hybrid cars, and the system efficiency is increased by 20%.

As a milestone product in the hybrid field, Xingyue L Raytheon Smart Engine Hi · X Hybrid Edition not only pioneered the era of multi-mode transmission of hybrid electric drive, but also adopted the intelligent electronic and electrical architecture GEEA 2.0 to realize the joint control of the power domain and other domains of the vehicle. The system can identify the driver’s driving habits and road congestion, realize driving mode adaptation, self-learning and self-adjustment, and enable 20 intelligent working modes to switch without feeling.

Upgrade: Often used and always new, bringing an experience that exceeds expectations

While Xingyue L has expanded its product lineup to the field of gasoline-electric hybrids, opening up a new path for the transformation and upgrading of traditional automobiles, Xingyue L has not forgotten to speed up its own iteration in intelligent ecology. At this auto show, Geely released the Geely Galaxy OS vehicle function OTA carried by Xingyue L, which brought 49 product upgrades worth 2,750 yuan, continuing to bring users a comprehensive vehicle intelligent ecological experience. It is reported that users who place an order before December 31, 2021 can open the upgrade for free.

In fact, this is the second upgrade of Xingyue L, which has been on the market for only four months. In August this year, Xingyue L has brought a Geely Galaxy OSV1.1 version upgrade to users, bringing 17 new smart experiences to users in four aspects: interaction, vision, application and intelligent control. The officially released OTA function of the whole vehicle adds Huawei Hicar function, which allows mobile phones to cast screens, such as map projection, game playing, etc., as well as more comfortable and convenient new functions.

As the world’s first mass-produced global FOTA fuel SUV, in the future, Xingyue L will push FOTA upgrades every quarter, which will bring product experiences that exceed expectations in intelligent driving, power performance, body control, and digital cockpit interaction. More importantly, OTA upgrades will not be limited to application ecological expansion and experience optimization in the traditional sense, but also put the upgrade of vehicle performance on the agenda. In the future, Geely will continue to keep the Xingyue L’s usual and new through iterations of the underlying design, power performance, and Geely Galaxy OS speed upgrades.

It is worth mentioning that these upgrades of China Star will be co-created with users. In Geely’s view, "products are ships, marketing is sails, and users are water", and user co-creation is the source of China Star’s living water. As early as May this year, Geely announced the user brand "we", becoming the first car manufacturer in the world to release a user brand, narrowing the distance with users.

At this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, Geely once again promoted the implementation of the "Co-Creation Plan", opened the "Xingyue L Star Enjoy Official Co-Creation Plan", issued a total of 10 million gigabytes to encourage co-creation, invited users to propose the evolution direction of Galaxy OS according to their own preferences and thinking, and put forward their own plans for digital smart cars. Users who contribute will get the permission of Xingyue L permanent free FOTA.

From the world’s first recruitment of Star Enjoy officials, to the listing of 28,000 + Star Enjoy officials to witness together, and then to this OTA upgrade, the launch of the "Star Enjoy L Star Enjoy Officer Co-creation Plan", the continuous maintenance of the evolution ability of Geely Galaxy OS, and the creation of user communication activities IP – CMA Day, CMA Hour, CMA Summer, CMA Life, etc., user co-creation has long been engraved in Xingyue L, and in the genes of China Star, in the "open, co-creation, exploration, happy" user ecosystem, continue to bring users new experiences that exceed expectations.

Break the circle: face to face, enter the "price hinterland" of the joint venture car

The evolution and upgrade of Xingyue L is in fact a microcosm of China Star’s upward breakthrough. China Star’s total sales exceeded 200,000 units and monthly sales exceeded 20,000, becoming the "China Star phenomenon" that appeared again in Geely after the "Boyue phenomenon". It opened up a new track for Chinese brands to rise, and also showed people the courage, determination, sincerity and strength of China Star to fight for the "value of Chinese cars".

When China Star was officially released, Geely made it clear that it would fight for the "value of Chinese cars" and aimed the battlefield at the mainstream joint venture market. Now, China Star has successfully entered the "price hinterland" of the joint venture brand, breaking the boundary between joint venture and autonomy, and truly facing the "high value" and joint venture brand head-on.

Behind this evaluation, there is full user support and data support. Xingrui has accumulated more than 120,000 units in the 12 months of listing, with high-end models accounting for 66% of sales. The average transaction price exceeds 130,000-140,000 yuan, breaking the "ceiling" of the main sales price of Chinese brand sedans 100,000 yuan, becoming the only Chinese brand sedan with a monthly average of more than 10,000 yuan in the 110,000-150,000 level sedan market. Xingyue L has been listed for more than three months. Sales volume is 30,355 units. At present, the total order has exceeded 75,000 units. Sales of high-end models account for more than 62%. The average transaction price of the whole series is as high as 170,500 yuan. It has become the only Chinese brand model with a monthly average of more than 10,000 in the 120,000-180,000 level five-seat SUV market.

Another set of data more intuitively reflects the impact of China Star on the joint venture market. "Now 60% of the replacement users of the’Star series’ are from joint venture brand users, which is the broken circle of China Star," said Lin Jie, senior vice-president of Geely Automobile Group.

Relying on Geely’s technological advantages in the 4.0 era and global high-quality resources, China Star continues to break through the value ceiling to lead the global architecture car-making era, the global hybrid new energy era, and the global 5G intelligent travel era.

Regarding the future, Fan Junyi, executive deputy general manager of Geely Automobile Sales Company, is full of confidence. The goal is that the China Star series will account for 30% of Geely’s total sales in 2022. In fact, "China Star is the first choice for Chinese car buyers, which has become the consensus of Chinese users in the new era. In the era of new technology, China Star will represent Chinese manufacturing to participate in global competition and shine on China’s technological strength.

At the last minute! Wang Jianlin, there is big news

At the last moment, Wang Jianlin lifted the crisis!

According to Dalian Wanda’s official website, on December 12, 2023, PAG and Dalian Wanda Commercial Management Group jointly announced the signing of a new investment agreement. PAG will cooperate with other investors to reinvest in Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management after its investment redemption period expires in 2021. Existing investors invested about 38 billion RMB in Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management in August 2021, of which PAG’s investment is about 2.80 billion US dollars (about 18 billion RMB). Existing investors enjoy redemption rights in the original investment arrangement.

This means that before the deadline for Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management to list in Hong Kong, Wanda’s listing pressure has been eliminated.

Wanda’s "urgent need" solution

Wanda said that according to the new agreement, Dalian Wanda Commercial Management holds 40% of the shares, making it the single largest shareholder. Pacific Alliance and several existing and new investors will participate in the investment, with a total of 60%. However, Wanda did not disclose which new investors will enter. Some analysts believe that the possibility of insurance capital entering cannot be ruled out, and some original investors may withdraw.

The 21st Century Business Herald reporter noticed that in the new agreement, the direct shareholding ratio of Dalian Wanda Commercial Management will drop significantly from the existing 70.15%, while the shareholding ratio of investors will rise sharply from 29.84%.

Wanda said that Wanda will work with important shareholders such as Pacific Alliance to further optimize the corporate governance of the company, maintain the stability of the management team, and jointly support the long-term development of the company. The new agreement reflects investors’ high recognition of the growth potential of Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management and its operating capabilities.

In September 2021, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management, which is seeking to list in Hong Kong, signed a share transfer agreement with 22 investors including Zhuhai SASAC, Tencent, Country Garden, CITIC, Ant Financial, China Merchants Group, Warburg Pincus, and Zheng Yutong’s family. Among them, some investors signed a gambling agreement with Wanda Commercial Management. According to the agreement, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management needs to complete the listing by the end of 2023, otherwise it will have to pay investors an equity repurchase at an annual internal rate of return of 8%. It is reported that the repurchase payment will reach 30 billion yuan.

However, due to the weak environment in the Hong Kong stock market, the listing of Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management has been delayed repeatedly. And as the "limit" of gambling is approaching, this new investment agreement can be described as solving Wanda’s "urgent needs".

Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management has submitted to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange four times on October 21, 2021, April 22, 2022, October 25, 2022, and June 28, 2023. On November 10, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management updated its listing application form on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. According to the latest announcement, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management has agreed to terminate the appointment of Credit Suisse (Hong Kong) Limited as the overall coordinator of its listing application, effective from November 9, 2023. As of now, there are two joint sponsors of the company, namely CITIC CLSA Securities Limited and J.P. Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited. Wanda has since confirmed that UBS has replaced Credit Suisse as the overall coordinator of Wanda Commercial Management.

Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management for three consecutive years

Exceeding performance targets

Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management currently manages 494 large commercial centres in 227 prefecture-level and above cities across the country. The number of commercial centres managed by Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management has grown from 417 to 494 in the past two years, an average annual growth rate of about 9%. Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management is now the world’s largest commercial management company in terms of commercial area under management.

Dalian Wanda said that since existing investors invested in 2021, Zhuhai Wanda Business Management has exceeded its performance targets for three consecutive years. After-tax income in 2021 is 23.50 billion yuan, 2022 is 27.10 billion yuan, and 2023 (estimated) is 29.30 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of about 12%. After-tax profit in 2021 is 5.30 billion yuan, 2022 is 7.50 billion yuan, and 2023 (estimated) is 9.50 billion yuan, with an annual growth rate of 34%. In the past three years, the company has paid a total of about 10 billion yuan in taxes, and dividends to shareholders are 4.60 billion yuan in 2021, 6.70 billion yuan in 2022 and 8.50 billion yuan in 2023 (estimated).

Wang Jianlin previously sold off assets

In order to solve the liquidity problem, some time ago, Wang Jianlin also sold off assets.

On December 6, Wanda Film announced that the 51% stake of the company’s controlling shareholder, Beijing Wanda Investment Co., Ltd. was to be transferred to Shanghai Ruyi Investment Management Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Ruyi Holdings Co., Ltd. In other words, Wang Jianlin sold Wanda Film. If the deal is completed, plus the previous transaction, Shanghai Ruyi will hold 100% of Beijing Wanda Investment, thereby indirectly holding 20% of Wanda Film and becoming the actual controller of Wanda Film.

According to the surging news on the 7th, on December 6th, the reporter learned that during the recent communication with investors, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management revealed that Wanda Group plans to sell its Wanda Plaza in first- and second-tier cities in exchange for liquidity, and is currently negotiating with insurance institutions. However, Wanda did not disclose which insurance institution it contacted. At the same time, there is still no IPO timetable for Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management’s listing in Hong Kong.

In addition, on October 26, there was a market news that "Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management intends to delay its listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and is discussing providing compensation to investors to avoid triggering a repurchase." In response, people close to Wanda Group told the "Daily Economic News" reporter, "The current listing work is advancing normally. Whether it is contacting investors or applying for an IPO normally, it is a daily work, and there are no new changes."

Alternative to "old man music": new energy vehicles leverage the rural market

  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.
