Analysis of 68 Pet Apps (I): The market is vast to be explored.

When I was in college, I had a soft spot for the pet industry. Although I didn’t work in this industry, I still felt that the pet industry had an immeasurable market. The author made a product analysis of the pet-related APP, and this article focused on the understanding and rough analysis of the pet industry.

Recently, I am waiting for new job opportunities, and I have made a shallow analysis of pet-related apps in my spare time. After all, this is an industry that I have been optimistic about since I was in college.

On the one hand, I want to get more job opportunities through my own articles, and on the other hand, I want to communicate with my colleagues. I haven’t worked for a long time, and please correct me if there are any shortcomings in the article (guiding opinions, don’t disturb the bar).

According to the survey statistics of the white paper on the pet industry in China from 2017 to 2019, the number of dogs and cats in cities and towns nationwide reached 99.15 million in 2019, an increase of 8.4% compared with 91.49 million last year, as shown in Figure 1-1; Among them, the number of pet dogs was 55.03 million, an increase of 8.2% over last year; The number of pet cats was 44.12 million, an increase of 8.6% compared with last year.

Figure 11 Number and growth rate of dogs and cats in China Source: White Paper on Pet Industry in China.

With the increase in the number of pets such as cats and dogs, the market scale of the pet industry is also expanding rapidly. In 2019, the consumption market scale of urban pet dogs and cats in China reached 202.4 billion yuan, an increase of 18.5% compared with last year, as shown in Figure 1-2. Among them, the consumption market for pet dogs was 124.4 billion yuan, up 17.8% year-on-year, and the consumption market for pet cats was 78 billion yuan, up 19.6% year-on-year.

Figure 12 National Pet Market Scale and Growth Rate Source: White Paper on Pet Industry in China.

In the consumption scale of pet market, snacks in pet products and medicines in pet medical care account for the vast proportion and the fastest growth rate. For the purchase of this just-needed commodity, the penetration rate of snacks and medicines is over 70%.

In addition, pet toys and dry food in pet products are also a big expenditure, and the penetration rate of health care products in pet medical care still has a great room for improvement.

Compared with the just-needed consumption, the service consumption is relatively low frequency, and the pet beauty penetration rate is the highest, followed by foster care and pet paradise; However, pet insurance, training, funeral and other consumption are in the "embryonic" stage of the market.

Figure 13 ranking of consumption penetration rate of various types of pets Source: White Paper on Pet Industry in China

Based on the statistical results of the pet market in recent years, it is found that the scale of China’s pet market grew almost linearly from 2010 to 2019, as shown in Figure 1-2. According to the average growth rate (20.0) from 2016 to 2019, the consumption scale of China’s pet market is expected to reach 239.8 billion yuan in 2020, as shown in Figure 1-2.

Figure 14 Forecast of the scale and growth rate of the national pet market in 2020.

  • In 2020, the number of pet cats and dogs in China will exceed 100 million;
  • Every year, the consumption scale of pet market grows steadily, with an average expansion of 5;
  • The expansion of the market scale has promoted the rise of pet-type platforms, and it has become an inevitable trend to buy pet necessities online. In addition, it has also promoted the development of new industries such as pet medical treatment, pet grooming, pet foster care, pet training, pet photography, pet insurance and pet funeral.

Figure 21 Regional Distribution of Pet Raising Source: White Paper on Pet Industry in China in 2018

As shown in the above figure, the top six cities in the prosperity of pet cities in China are Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Chengdu and Shenzhen.

It can be seen that first-tier cities or quasi-first-tier cities are gathering places for pets. Because these cities are the main inflow places of most migrant workers, the distribution of pets is directly or indirectly related to the overall consumption level, population mobility and educational level of the population.

Fig. 22 Age distribution of pet owners

From the above picture, we can see that the post-80s and post-90s are the main force of keeping pets, which shows that keeping pets is gradually becoming younger. Before 70s, most retired people keep pets as companions, while the post-70s prediction may be due to the lack of energy to support the elderly and children to keep another pet.

Fig. 23 Distribution of pet master education

In terms of education, pet owners are mainly undergraduate, followed by junior college, high school and below, and finally master and above. It can be seen that pet owners are gradually approaching high education.

Fig. 24 Distribution of sex, income and marriage of pet owners

In terms of the gender, income and marriage distribution of pet owners, the proportion of female pets is much higher than that of male pets; From the perspective of income, 50.4% of pets earn more than 4,000 yuan, of which more than 20% earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. While pet owners are gradually becoming popular, they are also becoming more and more high-income. As for the marital status of pet owners, single people account for a relatively large proportion, accounting for 32.5%, followed by married families with children, accounting for 28.5%, while married people without children and people in love account for a relatively small proportion.

Through the analysis of the geographical distribution of users and the attributes of users, the user portrait of pet owners is finally obtained.

Divide pet owners into three different groups and substitute them into detailed user scenarios. It is concluded that pet owners are basically for companionship, and they all regard them as their relatives or even children. Because of this, pet owners will take extra care of their pets and are willing to spend time and money to accompany them.

Through the analysis of the current market and users, the pet industry has a very bright prospect and form, so there are many mobile phone apps in generate to cope with the development of the market. Although these mobile apps are all in the pet industry, they are involved in different aspects.

Select 68 pet-related apps from Huawei APP Store, analyze and classify them, as shown in Figure 3-1 below.

Through the introduction and simple trial of these apps, these pet apps can be roughly divided into the following types: pet health, one-stop service, pet mall, door-to-door service, pet breeding, pet socialization, family foster care, pet trading, consultation and sharing, pet news, pet consignment, dog training service, B-end service, intelligent hardware, pet adoption and pet media dating.

Fig. 31 Various types of pet apps

Each type of APP has different emphasis and brings different commercial output value, so the number of similar products of each type of APP is also different. detailed

The number of detailed products of various types is shown in Figure 3-2, and its ranking (as shown in Figure 3-3) is pet mall, pet trading, one-stop service, pet socialization, pet health, intelligent hardware, B-end service, consultation and sharing, pet foster care, pet adoption, pet media dating, door-to-door service, pet breeding, pet consignment and dog training service.

Fig. 32 Schematic diagram of 68 pet-related apps

Figure 33 Quantity of 68 APP Types

It can be seen that the type of service that directly conducts online transactions with users is the main positioning of companies for their products, but there are many vertical apps that are avoiding group competition and adopting another way to emerge suddenly.

Figure 34 Percentage of downloads of 68 apps

As can be seen from the above figure, most of the downloads of these 68 softwares are not optimistic, accounting for 61.77% of the downloads less than 10,000, and only 7.35% of the downloads more than 500,000, which is not proportional to the number of pet owners. It can be seen that it is far from reaching a stable period in the use of pet mobile terminals.

On the contrary, there is a great market and space to be tapped, and it is in a stage of rapid development.

Select a typical APP from each type of APP as a representative, make a detailed analysis, and finally explore its commercial level from the user level, product level and operation level of the product.

3.3.1 Pet Health-Pet Doctor

1) reasons for choosing

The pet doctor APP focuses on "online consultation of pet doctors". Although its download volume is not the highest in this type, it is more professional than other pet health apps. Everyone’s pet community APP with a relatively high download volume is carried out in the mode of "community+health", and its latest updated version was in October 2017, so the pet doctor APP was chosen as the representative of the pet health type.

2) Business model

Fig. 35 Canvas of AP business model of pet doctor

This product is a platform for online consultation of pets, which attracts a large number of pet owners to consult about their pets’ diseases by attracting pet doctors from various pet hospitals across the country. When users have consultation needs, they can get points directly through WeChat or Alipay payment, and then choose a doctor they like for consultation.

3) Product function

A. Information architecture

Fig. 36 information architecture of pet doctor APP

The overall information architecture is relatively restrained, and there are not too many complicated functions. The positioning of the four modules is accurate and there is not too much interference information. It is basically based on the core value of the product, "online consultation for pet doctors", and two exciting demand application functions-disease self-examination and maintenance manual are embedded.

B. Process logic

Fig. 37 page flow chart of pet doctor

Users can choose their favorite doctors from the pet doctors recommended on the home page, or they can view a detailed list of doctors in the "Find Doctors" module in the bottom navigation bar. Before consultation, you need to confirm whether the consultation points are sufficient, and you can communicate with the doctor if the points are sufficient.

There are three ways to find a nearby pet hospital. The first way is to look at the hospital recommended on the homepage, the second way is to click "Looking for a Hospital" in the bottom navigation bar, and the third way is to look at the hospital where you have entered the details of a pet doctor.

4) Operation strategy

A. Operating mode

Figure 38 Operation mode

At present, the product operates with coupons and integral mall, as shown above.

In terms of user growth, every user invited to register will receive 200 points. It is suggested to add a function of sharing to get points. Another one can increase the membership system, invite a user to register and get a 30-day free membership, and the member enjoys unique membership rights (medical treatment by stages, consultation discount, etc.).

It is suggested that new users can get a free consultation opportunity after registering, so as to experience the whole online consultation process for themselves. The specific process can be that after registering and logging in, the user can make a selection lottery (consultation coupon/fixed hospital designated doctor consultation) to get consultation discount.

B. Version iteration

Figure 39 iteration of pet doctor APP version

Doctor Ai Chong APP was created by Shanghai Chong Ling Network Technology Co., Ltd., which was registered on June 15, 2015 with a registered capital of RMB 163,776 million. As can be seen from Figure 3-9 above, the first version of Doctor Ai Chong APP was launched on August 19, 2015, so this product is the first product promoted by this company. According to the frequent version iterations since then, it can be seen that this is also a main product.

After improving the doctor’s online consultation service, this product gradually increases other exciting needs (symptom self-examination function, etc.), and slowly develops online and offline services (hospital treatment by stages, etc.). In this case, the product wants to specialize in pet medical care, strive to be in-depth and professional, and take the development goal of large-scale pet medical care.

It is predicted that the business with offline hospitals may increase in the future, such as listing what services a pet hospital can provide to pets, and users can place orders at the terminal themselves and then go to the store to serve; Continue to improve the online consultation with the pet doctor, you can collect the pet doctor to give an in-depth explanation (article form/video form) on a pet’s disease, and then the user can read and download the video or article by using the form of point redemption.

5) Summary

As a professional online pet consultation APP, the core of pet doctor is to meet the needs of pet owners and resident pet doctors for paid consultation, but the operation mode of this business needs to be strengthened, such as doctors’ professionalism (qualifications, expertise, certificates, etc.), discounts for new users, and strengthening the business line of offline hospital stores (medical appointments, etc.).

3.3.2 Pet Mall-Boqi Pet

1) reasons for choosing

According to APPannie, Boqi Pet App was first released on July 11th, 2018, and updated with a new version every week on average. As can be seen from Figure 3-17 above, while consolidating the mall business, Boqi Pet has not slackened off its community business at all, which shows that Boqi Pet wants to develop in a coordinated way in terms of weak social interaction and strong business.

Of course, the rapid development of Boqi pet is inseparable from its social efforts, and the company’s influence is enhanced by increasing cumulative users, thus increasing revenue.

Therefore, it can be predicted that Pochi can also strengthen related businesses:

C. Pay attention to private chat

By adding private chat function, the interaction between users can be improved.

In the Top 100 Unicorn Enterprises in China issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Boqii was mentioned, ranking 83rd, and it was the only company in the pet industry called Unicorn.

People’s Daily People’s Commentary: Online professional counterfeiting, don’t cross the line.

  The market economy is an economy ruled by law, and counterfeiting and rights protection must also be carried out according to law. Once it crosses the border, any illegal act will be punished by law.

  

  Using "eating goods" means applying for a refund and not returning goods, using "getting on the bus" means following others to fight counterfeiting, and using "buying tickets" means giving benefits to leading counterfeiters … It is reported that online professional anti-counterfeiting has formed a gray industrial chain, and some professional anti-counterfeiting people take profit as the purpose, buy fakes for compensation, and recruit apprentices to impart experience.

  Professional counterfeiting is nothing new. In the 1990s, Wang Hai got double compensation for buying fake, which caused a heated discussion. In recent years, with the rapid development of e-commerce, the main position of professional anti-counterfeiting has quietly shifted, pointing the finger at a large number of online stores, and the scope of anti-counterfeiting has also expanded: it includes obvious faults such as selling fakes and price fraud in stores, as well as nonstandard commodity labels and the use of prohibited advertising words. In reality, a publishing house was reported as false propaganda by professional counterfeiters because of the word "most" in the book promotion language, and an online shop was reported as price fraud by professional counterfeiters because it failed to modify the picture price in time at the end of the promotion.

  The behavior of knowing and buying fakes is complex, so professional counterfeiting has always been controversial. Undeniably, professional counterfeiting has really played a positive role objectively, which has cracked down on fake and shoddy products and purified the market environment to a certain extent, and is called the "woodpecker" in the market. With the rise of Internet e-commerce platform, online shopping complaints are increasing day by day. Statistics show that in 2018, the national market supervision department accepted a total of 1.682 million online shopping complaints, up 126.2% year-on-year. The complaints were mainly false advertisements, counterfeiting and substandard quality. Professional counterfeiters are familiar with consumer rights protection law, advertising law, e-commerce law and other laws and regulations, and their rights protection efficiency is high, which is beneficial to promoting consumer rights protection to a certain extent.

  However, after years of development, the negative effects of professional counterfeiting have gradually emerged. The subjective starting point of professional anti-counterfeiting is profit, which is doomed to the limitations of anti-counterfeiting methods. Some people only look for profitable "business" in the choice of anti-counterfeiting objects, usually picking soft persimmons, deliberately looking for loopholes in novice shops, and finding problems requires privacy. Some counterfeiters lack self-discipline, from knowing and buying fakes to making fakes, and even extorting money, for example, erasing the production date of goods with liquid medicine and stuffing their hair into bread with needles. All these have not only dispelled the positive effects of counterfeiting, but also disrupted the normal market order.

  Online professional counterfeiting, which originated from the improper behavior of merchants in the process of market transactions, will gradually withdraw with the improvement of relevant legal systems and the standardization of market supervision. Safeguarding consumers’ rights and interests and perfecting the system are the fundamental paths. In recent years, from the new revision of consumer rights protection law, the new revision of advertising law to the formal implementation of e-commerce law, from strict law enforcement by regulatory authorities to smooth channels for consumer rights protection, the network of systems for safeguarding consumer rights has become more and more dense. In case of fraud, the specific provisions, such as refund for one loss and compensation for three losses, proof of defective products by merchants, and prohibition of false propaganda, also directly hit the real problems, promote businesses to operate in compliance with the law, and continuously improve consumers’ shopping experience. With the progress of society and the improvement of the system, the space for professional counterfeiting will inevitably be gradually reduced.

  Nowadays, the rectification mechanism is gradually taking shape in view of the phenomenon of abusing certain clauses in professional counterfeiting claims. For online professional counterfeiters, their profit-making space will be further limited, and their profit-making difficulty will also increase accordingly. Judging from the cases in recent years, whether the identity of professional counterfeiters is protected by the law on the protection of consumers’ rights and interests and whether punitive damages can be obtained can be determined by the court according to the specific circumstances. In fact, some professional counterfeiters were reported by merchants for alleged extortion, and eventually "the plot reversed", which was not worth the candle.

  Market economy is an economy ruled by law. For professional counterfeiters, anti-counterfeiting and rights protection must also be carried out according to law, and they should not be lucky and speculative. Once you cross the border, any illegal act will be punished by law.

  Push a new entry-level model to expose Cadillac’s new car plan
  //www.autohome.com.cn/news/201501/859852.html

Musk will lay off 75% of employees after being exposed to Twitter, and Twitter denies that there is no layoff plan.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s plan to buy Twitter may not be good news for Twitter employees.

On October 20th, local time, Washington post quoted people familiar with the matter and a document as saying that Musk planned to reduce the number of Twitter employees from 7,500 to more than 2,000 in the next few months.

In other words, Twitter needs to cut nearly 75% of its employees.

The report quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that after months of legal disputes, Musk’s planned acquisition of $44 billion is progressing in an orderly manner and is likely to be completed before October 28.

In a memo to employees after Washington post’s report, Twitter General Counsel Sean Eichette warned employees that as the transaction drew to a close, there were expected to be "a lot of public rumors and speculations". "Since the merger agreement has been put in place, there are no plans to lay off employees throughout the company," he said.

In fact, as early as April this year, Bloomberg quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Musk had told investors that he planned to lay off Twitter when he first sought funds from the bank.

However, reports in Washington post show that even if the deal between Musk and Twitter fails, the current management of Twitter plans to cut the company’s salary by about $800 million by the end of next year, which means that the company needs to fire nearly a quarter of its employees. At the same time, Twitter also plans to drastically cut its infrastructure spending, including a data center that keeps the website running normally for more than 200 million users who log in every day.

Washington post said that this change may have a significant impact on Twitter’s ability to control harmful content and prevent data security crisis in the future.

Edwin Chen, a data scientist who was in charge of Twitter spam and health indicators, said that millions of Twitter users may immediately feel the impact of such layoffs. He said that although he believes that Twitter currently has too many employees, the layoffs proposed by Musk are unimaginable, which will expose Twitter users to multiple risks such as hacking.

In the third quarter earnings conference call held by Tesla on Wednesday, Musk said that he had paid too much for Twitter: "Although it is obvious that myself and other investors have paid too high a price for Twitter now, in my opinion, the long-term potential of Twitter is one order of magnitude higher than its current value."

According to Washington post, the extent of layoffs exposed this time explains why Twitter executives are eager to sell the company to Musk — — Although Musk’s $44 billion bid is full of "hostility" and keeps swinging in the middle, it is tantamount to a cash check for this troubled social media company.

Months of bidding and a tense legal battle have left Twitter scarred. At present, Twitter is facing serious staff turnover, slow recruitment, project stagnation and stock price fluctuation.

Dan Ives, a financial analyst at Wedbush Securities, said: "It is easy for Musk to acquire Twitter, but the difficult thing is to fix it. Reversing this situation will be an arduous challenge. "

According to Washington post, according to interviews and documents, reshaping Twitter’s workforce is an important part of Musk’s ambition. Musk believes that significantly reducing the size of the company is the first step in implementing the strategy of turning losses into profits, which will then involve introducing more efficient employees and innovations, such as expanding the subscription business, that is, allowing users to pay for exclusive content provided by influential accounts.

Musk had previously told investors that he planned to double his income within three years and triple the number of daily users who watched advertisements in the same period, but he did not elaborate on how to achieve these goals.

However, people familiar with the matter also said that according to Twitter data, subscription may not bring new considerable income, because the users who watch advertisements the most on Twitter are about 1% of the number of users in the United States, which is also the most likely user to join the subscription service. If they start paying monthly, this plan may eat into the most profitable part of Twitter’s current advertising business.

The report also shows that Twitter’s human resources personnel told employees that they did not intend to lay off employees on a large scale, but the document shows that before Musk proposed to acquire the company, there had been a large number of plans to lay off employees and cut infrastructure costs. Then, on the basis of these plans, Musk will first target people with poor performance and then lay off employees at other stages.

According to Nell Minow, a business management expert, Musk may need to "sell" his ambitious plan to potential investors, but the implementation of his plan will face challenges. "He must prove that what will happen next after layoffs? What will he replace (Twitter’s original data security capabilities)? Artificial intelligence? " Nell Minow said.

As of the close of US stocks on October 20th, Twitter rose 1.18% to close at $52.44, with a market value of $40.1 billion.

Huawei, another second is empty! The two heavyweights will be released on the same day!

Following the hot sale of Huawei Pura 70 Ultra and Huawei Pura 70 Pro last week, Huawei Pura 70 and Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ were officially launched at 10:08 on April 22nd. ?

For Huawei’s mobile phones, the sales fever of "selling out immediately after listing" continues. At 10: 08 on April 22, Huawei Pura 70 and Pura 70 Pro+ opened their first sales and sold out quickly. According to official website, the starting price of Huawei Pura 70 is 5499 yuan, and the starting price of Pura 70 Pro+ is 7999 yuan.

In addition to the high popularity of mobile phones, Huawei has also made a strong attack in the automotive field.

On April 24th, Huawei will hold two conferences: Huawei Smart Car Solutions will hold the "2024 Huawei Smart Car Solutions Conference" and Huawei Digital New Energy will hold the "2024 Huawei Smart Electric & Smart Charging Network Strategy and New Product Launch Conference".

"Assault sales" reappears, and Pura 70 is hot.

On April 18th, Huawei launched the "HUAWEI Pura 70 Series Pioneer Program", and Pura 70 Ultra and Pura 70 Pro went on sale at 10:08 on the same day.

It is understood that there are four models of Huawei Pura 70 series. In addition to the Pro and Ultra versions that were launched on April 18, the remaining Pura 70 and Pura 70 Pro+ were also sold separately at 10: 08 am on April 22. From the price point of view, the Pura70 model with the lowest price in Huawei Pura 70 series starts at 5499 yuan, and the starting price of Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ is 7999 yuan.

It is understood that both Huawei Pura 70 Ultra and Pro series adopt super-focusing macro telephoto. Pura 70 Ultra is the only model equipped with super-focusing telescopic main camera, which is also a major innovation of Huawei in the field of mobile imaging. It is also equipped with the industry’s first rotating telescopic lens structure. Compared with conventional lenses, this design can take into account the thickness of the lens and the fuselage, and at the same time, plug in high-standard camera lenses to enhance the image ability of mobile phones.

At present, Pura 70 series continues the sales popularity of Mate 60 series, and the scene of "sold out in one second" has appeared many times, and the overall sales of Huawei mobile phones are also recovering strongly. Counterpoint data shows that smartphone sales in China bottomed out in the fourth quarter of 2023, increasing by 6.6% year-on-year, of which Apple’s mobile phone sales decreased by 9% year-on-year, and Huawei’s sales increased by 71.1% year-on-year.

At the same time, Huawei has also "recovered lost ground" in the high-end mobile phone market. Counterpoint report shows that in the global high-end smartphone market of 600 dollars or more (about 4,333 yuan) in 2023, Huawei reached 5% of the high-end market share, up from 3% in the same period in 2022.

Wang Peng said that Huawei’s R&D strength is its core strength, especially in communication technology (such as 5G), camera technology and artificial intelligence technology. Innovations in these fields make Huawei mobile phones ahead of their peers in performance, photography and intelligent experience.

Liang Zhenpeng, an observer of the consumer electronics industry, said in an interview: "Huawei’s current advantage in regaining global high-end market share lies in its technological innovation, R&D strength and in-depth understanding of the domestic market. However, the main difficulty lies in the acceptance of the global market and the response of competitors. Although Huawei Pura70 series has evolved in AI capabilities and HarmonyOS OS, it is not enough to completely reverse Huawei’s disadvantage in the global high-end market share. "

Zhijie "grabs the bill" Xiaomi SU7, which can deduct 5,000 yuan.

On April 11th, HarmonyOS Ecological Spring Communication Meeting was held, and Huawei and Chery officially announced that Zhijie S7 had achieved mass delivery, which could "deliver one car in one minute". Based on the strong manufacturing capacity, the intellectual community has also set its sights on Xiaomi SU7, whose production capacity is in short supply.

Recently, there is market news that Huawei’s Zhijie S7 is "grabbing" customers of Xiaomi SU7, buying Zhijie S7 and paying the final payment, which can deduct the 5000 yuan deposit of Xiaomi SU7 lock order from the car price.

It is understood that at present, there are three modes of cooperation between Huawei and car companies, namely, spare parts supply mode (providing standardized products such as laser radar and car networking module for car companies and electric control of motors), HI mode (namely HuaweiInside, car companies adopt Huawei’s full-stack solution, including hardware and software) and HarmonyOS Zhixing mode (Huawei is deeply involved in product design, marketing and terminal sales).

Zhijie S7 is the model of Huawei’s HarmonyOS Zhixing cooperation. In 2023, HarmonyOS Zhixing opened to 78 cities nationwide to join the user center, which provided a series of services including sales, delivery and after-sales. According to Ping An Securities Research Report, HarmonyOS Zhixing Store will operate independently, and it is planned to build 800 stores by 2024.

The reporter came to a Wuhan HarmonyOS Zhixing Super Experience Center for consultation. The relevant staff told the reporter that the policy of deducting the deposit of 5,000 yuan from Xiaomi by purchasing Zhijie S7 does exist. At present, it is only for Zhijie S7, and other HarmonyOS Zhixing models do not enjoy this discount. To enjoy the relevant discount, you need to show the lock voucher of Xiaomi SU7, and the activity will last until the end of May. Compared with Xiaomi SU7, the delivery speed of Zhijie S7 is relatively fast. The above-mentioned staff told the reporter that the current delivery cycle of Zhijie S7 is 2 weeks to 4 weeks. Now you can pick up the car in May, and some configurations need 4 to 6 weeks to pick up the car.

According to the Pacific Securities Research Report, Zhijie S7 is the first car in Huawei’s smart car selection business, which will further fill the layout of Huawei’s cars. With the large-scale delivery and further cooperation between Huawei and the OEM, Huawei’s auto business is expected to continue to achieve profitability after turning losses, and Huawei Smart Drive is expected to shape a new round of industry prosperity.

Behind the "battle for orders" between Zhijie S7 and Xiaomi SU7, the sales of Xiaomi SU7 far exceeded expectations, and the production capacity was "in short supply". At the beginning of April, a car buyer with a lock list of Xiaomi SU7 told reporters that the estimated delivery time of the Xiaomi SU7Max version of the lock list is 26-29 weeks later, and it will take almost the end of the year to pick up the car.

In response to this "battle", Lei Jun, founder and chairman of Xiaomi Group, also responded. On April 22nd, Lei Jun said at the Weibo: "At present, the production capacity and delivery speed of Xiaomi SU7 are increasing rapidly, and the standard version and Max have been delivered in advance. Many prospective car owners found in Xiaomi Auto APP that the delivery time is expected to be advanced. At Beijing Auto Show, I will introduce our production capacity and delivery plan in detail. If you are really anxious to buy a car, domestic new energy vehicles are good, for example, Zhijie S7, Weilai ET5, Tucki P7 series, etc., you can also consider buying. "

The official of Zhijie responded by saying: "Thank you, Mr. Lei, for recommending Zhijie S7! Super-large space, Huawei intelligent driving and HarmonyOS cockpit have now started scale delivery, and consumers are welcome to experience in the store! "

Huawei takes the lead! The overcharge alliance is about to start.

On April 24th, Huawei will hold two conferences: Huawei Smart Car Solutions will hold the "2024 Huawei Smart Car Solutions Conference" and Huawei Digital New Energy will hold the "2024 Huawei Smart Electric & Smart Charging Network Strategy and New Product Launch Conference".

According to the agenda of the meeting, "2024 Huawei Smart Car Solution Conference" includes new product launch conference, smart car lighting, smart car control, computing platform, smart driving, smart cockpit and smart Che Yun theme forum.

Weibo, the official of Huawei’s smart car solutions, said that at the press conference, Huawei will launch a new brand, and invited many car companies, such as Extreme Fox, Changan Automobile, Aouita, Deep Blue Automobile, Blueprint Automobile, Warrior Technology and Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi.

At the "2024 Huawei Intelligent Electric & Intelligent Charging Network Strategy and New Product Launch Conference", a new intelligent fusion solution in power domain will be launched for pure electric and extended range hybrid platforms, and a full range of ultra-fast charging solutions will be released.
