Recently, a Changan Mazda EZ-6 car purchase invoice caused an uproar among netizens. The invoice clearly shows that the price of the EZ-6 pure electric BEV model is 221,800 yuan. This news has caused many industry insiders and consumers to discuss. Many people believe that the EZ-6, as Changan Mazda’s first new energy product and the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market to provide range-extending power, is mostly true. Moreover, Changan Mazda is really not good this time.

First of all, start from the authenticity of the invoice. This car purchase invoice was issued on August 16, more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. Generally speaking, a new car is launched, and the car company has a complete set of time to advance the process. Especially for a joint venture car company like Changan Mazda, it is very possible to negotiate the price 2 months in advance. In addition, although sensitive information such as invoice codes are coded, from the information of the invoicing party and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., this invoice does not seem to be fake, and it is likely to be internal information. To sum up, the invoice itself is very reliable, and the displayed EZ-6 price is also likely to be real data.

In fact, since the EZ-6 made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, the car has quickly become one of the hottest discussed models in the joint venture new energy field. The reason why it has attracted a lot of attention is not only its design that stands at the forefront of the trend, but also because the EZ-6 is the only model in the current joint venture B-class sedan market that offers extended range power options, which to some extent makes up for the gap in the field of extended range of joint venture new energy models.

In-depth understanding of the product characteristics of the EZ-6, in terms of body size, the length, width and height of this model are 4921/1890/1485mm, and the wheelbase is 2895mm. The EZ-6 features frameless doors and hatchback design, which undoubtedly make its shape full of modern and futuristic. However, the design of the through taillights and the four round barrel lights on the sides makes people think of classic Mazda design elements.

In terms of power configuration, the EZ-6 provides consumers with both pure electric and extended range options, and adopts a rear-drive layout. According to the information currently exposed, the power parameters of the pure electric version are all 190kW, while the extended range version models use the same 1.5-liter range extender, and the power parameters are exactly the same. In terms of endurance, according to the different battery pack capacity, the endurance range of the pure electric model is 480 kilometers and 600 kilometers respectively, while the extended range model can achieve a long battery life of more than 1,300 kilometers under the condition of one charge and one tank of fuel.

In terms of smart configuration, the EZ-6 is full of sincerity. Equipped with the third-generation 8155 chip of Qualcomm Snapdragon, it is equipped with a 14.6-inch floating center control screen, plus a full LCD instrument panel and an AR-HUD head-up display, which makes smart technology feel overwhelming. In addition, the vehicle is also equipped with 360-degree panoramic images, 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, automatic parking and other functions. Luxury is reflected in its equipped Sony audio and 64-color ambient lights, as well as zero-gravity seats, which are very rare in the same class of models.

Judging from the configuration of the product and the price of other models, the pricing of the EZ-6 seems very reasonable. From the known information, the EZ-6 has far exceeded most joint venture models in terms of configuration. Moreover, as a joint venture pure electric mid-range car, the price of 221,800 yuan is quite competitive compared with the price of about 300,000 yuan for Tesla Model 3 and BMW i3, and the starting price of 227,700 yuan for Volkswagen ID7. This undoubtedly gives the EZ-6 a strong price advantage in the market.

According to Mazda’s previous pricing strategy, the price of the EZ-6 is expected to fall between 18-240,000 yuan. If there are some awesome policy support during the pre-sale period, it will surely further enhance the market competitiveness of this car. According to the latest news, the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28 and is scheduled to be officially launched at the end of October, which has brought a lot of pressure to other joint venture new energy models. Overall, Changan Mazda’s strategic layout this time is obviously very wise, and the EZ-6 is very likely to become a new spoiler in the market.

Behind every successful model is a comprehensive market survey and strict strategic deployment. Whether this expectant Changan Mazda EZ-6 can stand out in the fierce market competition still needs further testing by consumers and the market. Welcome to share your views and expectations of this car in the comment area. We are waiting for the final answer to be revealed together!

Adapted from serious literature, "Yellow Card", "Yanshi Ji", "Fenghe Rises to Zhang Juzheng" and "Protagonist" have set off a new trend in the adaptation market.

Adaptation trend: serious literature becomes the backbone, focusing on the field of e-sports

In recent years, many popular dramas with high reputation have made the market see new possibilities for the film and television adaptation of serious literature, and serious literature has increasingly become the backbone of film and television adaptation.

"Yellow Card" is Mao Dun literary award-winning works, the original time span of nearly 50 years, through the Zhang and Huang family from the hukou led to the joys and sorrows reflect the earth-shaking changes of the times.

"Feng He Rises and Zhang Juzheng" is adapted from the four-volume historical novel Zhang Juzheng by the writer Xiong Zhaozheng, and "The Protagonist" is a film and television work of the same name by the writer Chen Yan, focusing on destruction and survival in war, and the writer Huang Huo’s "War and People" and adapted from the novel of the same name by Jin Yucheng, focusing on the changes in individual destiny in the early 1990s. The original works are all winners of the Mao Dun Literary Award.

The novel "Thousand Miles of the River and Mountains" adapted from Sun Ganlu’s novel of the same name and "Swallow Food" adapted from Ge Liang’s novel of the same name are also worthy of attention. The former is an excellent work of the 16th "Five One Project", while the latter’s original Douban score is as high as 8.9.

It is not difficult to see that in film and television creation, rooting in people’s lives, enriching the sources of creation, and disseminating Chinese stories have become the new popular password.

In terms of exploration themes, "Return to the South China Sea" adapted from the novel and "Tibetan Sea Flower" adapted from the novel will be the highlight;

In terms of the theme of martial arts, relying on the "Jin Yong Martial Arts World" series of works as the text, will create a unit drama in the form of high-quality characters, directed by,,,, respectively, telling the five chapters of "Eastern Heretic Western Poison", "Southern Emperor Bei Beggar", "Huashan On Sword", "Jiuyin True Sutra", "Iron Blood Pill Heart"; "The Sword Comes" adapted from the original novel of the beacon play princes, which is produced by Happy Twist, or will open a new attempt of comedy + martial arts.

In terms of the theme of e-sports, "League of Legends" based on the e-sports adaptation of the same name is directed by Zhang Yimou, which is also his first "cross-border" creation of a web drama. Zhang Yimou revealed in an interview earlier that the series is expected to start shooting in September. "I want to shoot a very different and contrasting [work], and I hope’League of Legends’ is handsome, cool and very good."

At the same time, the "Tail Fish Universe" was launched, including works such as "West Exit Yumen", "Three Lines of Reincarnation", "Xiao Qi Qinglu" and "Dragon Bone Burning Box".

Other IP adaptation works such as "Sauvignon Blanc", "With the Phoenix", "Leyouyuan", "Yugu Yao", "In the Blizzard", "Spring", "I miss you very much", "Love has fireworks", etc. are also gearing up, waiting for a share of the ancient and modern market.

Track development: digging deep into women’s power and continuing science fiction exploration

With the development of the feminist wave, feminist-themed works have shown strong vitality in "her era".

Since "Ode to Joy" opened a new chapter in feminist-themed dramas, "Thirty" and "I’m fine in a foreign country" have successively shown the style of female power from different aspects, and have established the indispensable position of female themes in the realist track. Until now, such themes are still the focus of the platform’s efforts.

The film list also covers a number of feminist works: including "Good Things Come Together", which tells the story of stay-at-home mothers returning to the workplace and working tirelessly for the first time as the female lead of the series; "Her and Her Islands", a female emotional drama that shows three generations of women’s marriages; "My Battle with Marriage", which tells the battle between married couples, and "Small Days", which explores the topic of marriage in the post-one-child era.

At a time when the anxiety of marriage and childbirth is quite controversial, the topic of marriage has become one of the core concerns of feminist themes.

In addition, there are also starring roles such as "Rose Story" that focus on the workplace and emotional experiences of elite women.

How to dig deep into women’s power and win audience resonance is undoubtedly the key to the platform’s "problem-solving".

It is reported that the "Three-Body IP", "Three-Body II: Dark Forest", "Three-Body: History" and "Stars", which are adapted from the winning books of the 11th Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Award, will enter the development stage one after another.

Also worth paying attention to is the skit track.

This year, the "X Theater" was launched, and the theater’s first work "The Long Season" exceeded 750,000 audience to give it a high score of 9.4 on Douban, setting a new high in the reputation of domestic dramas in recent years and becoming a phenomenon-level popular "magic drama".

Next, "X Theater" also has the legendary drama "Happy Face", the ancient detective drama "Under the Bustling City" and the Northeast suspense drama "Black Soil Silent" in stock.

Classic reproduction: continuation of the boutique series, while the sequel development is in progress　

Represented by the second season of "Celebrating More Than Years", the second season of "Fatty-in-law" and the second season of "Douluo Continent", the newly announced film list has seen a number of sequel works.

In addition, the second trilogy of the "Hometown" series, "Hometown, Stay Safe", is under development. The "Open" series started by "Beginning" also has "Opening" and "Lottery" continuing classics.

It is worth mentioning that the second season of "Celebration of the Year" is still co-starred by and, the second season of "Fatty-in-law" is starring, and "Hometown, Stay Safe" continues to participate.

Regarding how to avoid the series of creative difficulties in the sequel, whether it is the second season of "Celebration of More Than Years" that has been launched or the second season of "Fatty Son-in-law" that has been launched, it is officially announced that the original cast will play the role to ensure the authenticity of the sequel to the greatest extent.

Recently, we received feedback from employees of Henan Suda Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd., and the problem of employees’ unpaid wages has not been effectively solved. It is understood that Henan Suda Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. has been in a state of suspension of production since the second half of 2020 due to its poor management and COVID-19 epidemic. Employees who have not left their jobs can’t go to work normally, and they can only receive basic living expenses, and sometimes even basic living expenses can’t be paid. Such a new power enterprise, which was the first batch to obtain "double qualifications" and was concerned by the governor, is now struggling and facing the situation of bankruptcy.

According to the feedback from employees at present, 12,000 yuan was paid in 2021, and 4,000 yuan has been paid so far in 22 years, and no penny has been paid for leaving the company. Sanmenxia currently has a minimum living guarantee of 1,900 yuan a month, so there is no minimum guarantee, and social security has never been paid since 2021.

In fact, since the problem of unpaid wages of Suda was exposed in 2020, there have been complaints from employees, but the problem has not been effectively solved. As early as the end of 2021, the local government replied: the management committee of the Development Zone has conducted many interviews with Henan Suda Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. on the issue of unpaid wages and unpaid social security fees, urging enterprises to implement their responsibilities, take measures to resolve hidden dangers of unpaid wages in time, do a good job in ideological counseling for employees and helping employees in difficulty, and properly handle the problem of unpaid wages. At the same time, the Development Zone Management Committee actively takes measures to help enterprises coordinate and solve production and operation difficulties and promote enterprises to gradually realize standardized management. In October, 2021, the municipal government and the administrative committee of the development zone set up a leading group for Sanmenxia City to promote the related work of Henan Suda Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. and a special class for the development zone to promote Henan Suda Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. to resume work and production, and arranged special personnel to carry out investment attraction and joint venture for Suda problem in order to solve Suda series of problems as soon as possible. In the next step, the development zone will urge enterprises to promote strategic restructuring as soon as possible, and at the same time actively do a good job in explaining and appeasing employees, strive for their understanding and support, properly handle contradictions, tide over difficulties with enterprises, and maintain social stability.

At present, the complaint platform of People’s Daily Online has also collected a large number of complaints about the unpaid wages of Henan Suda Company.

Some employees complained that "Henan Suda electric car does not pay wages, does not pay social security, and employees cannot be reimbursed for hospitalization. Since January 2021, social security has been broken off, and employees can’t be reimbursed for hospitalization. I called 12345 for feedback. The answer was that I suggested to the Development Zone Human Resources and Social Security Bureau about the salary and social security of Henan Suda electric employees, but there was no substantial progress in many feedbacks! Begging the government to come forward to solve this matter,. "

As early as 2021, employees of Henan Suda Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Suda Company) broke the news. The company originally stipulated to pay the salary of last month on the 25th of each month, but by the end of November, the salary for three months from August to October was not paid, and the company leaders have not given a positive reply or any statement so far. It is worth mentioning that some employees were also "paid" 20,000 yuan for car booking, which was originally scheduled to be returned before June 30, and has not been returned so far, and there is no statement or reply. Now the employees of the company begin to ask for salaries in a large area and in various ways. By the 24th of this month, employees had gone to the chairman of the trade union to ask for salary. The chairman generally meant: If there is no money, it’s up to you. Send all the employees away. As of press time, the salary is still going on.

Suda, a key supporting enterprise in Henan province and city.

As the "No.1 Project" of Sanmenxia City’s transformation and upgrading, Henan Suda has been highly valued and strongly supported by Henan Province and Sanmenxia City. "The municipal party committee and municipal government provide nanny-like service to Suda Company, escort like a guard, rescue in time when the enterprise encounters setbacks, and devote themselves to it." The main leaders of Sanmenxia municipal government once lamented. However, for a long time, Henan Suda has made little noise in the new energy automobile industry. The last time it attracted public attention, it got "double qualifications". In 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology approved the qualification of Henan Suda to build a new pure electric passenger car manufacturer, which became the first car enterprise in Henan and the 11th in China to obtain "double qualification". However, Henan Suda, who holds the "double qualification" of building a car, is greeted with doubts one after another. Since its establishment in 2010, this enterprise has failed to independently produce a pure electric vehicle for more than five years, and has been accused of being "stiff but not dead", but it has been strongly supported by Sanmenxia City, Henan Province, where the enterprise is located.

According to public information, on February 10, 2011, the Implementation Opinions on the Development of Electric Vehicle Industry in Sanmenxia City (Provisional) stated that it is necessary to focus on cultivating Suda Technology to produce pure electric mini and mid-size cars, with an annual output of 100,000 vehicles by 2015. According to the plan, the Suda electric vehicle project has a total land area of 3,500 mu (826 mu in the first phase), with a total planned investment of 5 billion yuan, with an estimated annual output value of 35.6 billion yuan and a profit and tax of 7 billion yuan. After completion, a number of affiliated enterprises can be integrated to settle in, indirectly achieving an output value of more than 80 billion yuan, profits and taxes of more than 15 billion yuan, and attracting about 20,000 industrial workers. Obviously, this goal has not been achieved. According to authoritative media reports, in the case of shortage of land use indicators, the Sanmenxia municipal government gave priority to ensuring the land demand for the Suda electric vehicle project. The 705 mu of land required for the first phase of the project was approved by the provincial government in just 20 days; The approval procedures for environmental assessment, energy assessment and safety assessment of the project are all arranged by the government. In addition, Henan Suda also enjoys support policies in high-tech, environmental protection, new energy, energy conservation and comprehensive utilization. According to media reports, on March 13, 2020, Wang Guosheng, secretary of Henan Provincial Party Committee, went to Suda Company to investigate the situation of enterprise epidemic prevention and control, resumption of work and production, and scientific and technological innovation. Liu Nanchang, secretary of Sanmenxia Municipal Party Committee, accompanied the investigation.

During the investigation, Secretary Wang Guosheng spoke highly of Suda’s work in epidemic prevention and control, resumption of work and production, and scientific and technological innovation. Wang Guosheng said that Suda Company focused on the long-term and advanced layout, and while doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, it promoted the resumption of production in a safe and orderly manner. It has many core technologies such as active control system, motor electronic control system and balanced discharge, which completely solved the safety problem of vehicles. At the same time,The sales of Suda pure electric cars at home and abroad have steadily advanced and achieved fruitful results..As the only pure electric passenger car enterprise in Henan Province, Suda Company will be strongly supported by the government and relevant departments.Therefore, I hope that in the future, Suda Company can accelerate its development, promote the development of related industries and make contributions to the economic development of Henan Province. Li Fuxing, the chairman of the company, said that in the future, Suda Company will take it as its responsibility to cultivate the industrial chain and supporting parts bases, push forward all the work of the company in a down-to-earth manner, and strive to build a 100 billion yuan industrial base for new energy vehicles.

A controversial enterprise

At present, there are only two products in official website of Henan Suda, namely the sedan SA01 and the small SUV SD01. After subsidy, the price is 130,000 yuan and 110,000 yuan. official website shows that the cruising range is 180-300 kilometers.

But there are only two products, and they are also accused of "sales fraud". In June 2020, there was media exposure, "Starting from Henan Suda: signing a fake sales contract with employees, a high-profile car company without a 4S shop."

According to the article, after visiting Sanmenxia City, the reporter found that even though every signing ceremony of Henan Suda was vigorous, there was no 4S shop in the local base camp, and the sales method was relatively hidden. Most citizens still knew little about Suda electric vehicles. Xiao Jing, an internal employee of Suda, told reporters that the company has been actively mobilizing employees to buy cars in order to "exchange" sales. If there is not enough money, it can even sign a contract with the company for "fake buying". The reporter found in the factory of Henan Suda that at present, only one phase of the factory has been built, and two more phases are under development planning. Only the sales exhibition hall is open to the public for the time being.

Although as the "No.1 Project" of Sanmenxia City’s transformation and upgrading, Henan Suda has been highly valued and strongly supported by Henan Province and Sanmenxia City. However, with the outbreak of the problem of unpaid wages in Henan Suda, more problems will be exposed. In the field of new energy vehicles, there are more and more such examples. Changjiang Automobile and Sailin Automobile are all falling down. Some insiders believe that the management ideas of government departments should be changed, and it is necessary to prevent enterprises from being tied too tightly to local governments. Once enterprises are stagnant, they will waste resources and funds, which will adversely affect the development of the industry.

Scale, scale or scale

In the past year, the share dispute was a matter of life and death. Even leading enterprises such as Tesla and BYD had to cut prices and fight hand in hand. The Matthew effect shattered the speed of light in the industry bubble.

But we should thank this price war.

Nowadays, the market no longer believes in beautiful stories, and begins to pay attention to who can make blood independently and who can have the advantages of scale. Only enterprises that have experienced the most intense artillery fire can exercise their strong vitality and create better products.

After ten years of development and continuous organizational changes throughout the year, Xpeng Motors’s accumulated energy began to be reflected in the financial report.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, Xpeng Motors ushered in a milestone result, delivering 60,000 units in a single season.Gross profit margin turned positive again, reaching 6.2%. In the first three quarters of last year, Tucki’s gross profit margin was negative, and in the fourth quarter, it rose by 8.9 percentage points from the previous month, and its total revenue reached 13.05 billion yuan, up 154% year-on-year and 53% from the previous month.

The most important thing is that Tucki was realized for the first time in 2023.Annual operating cash flow turned positive. By the end of last year, Xpeng Motors’s cash reserves reached 45.7 billion yuan, a net increase of 9.2 billion yuan from the previous month, and its positive free cash flow exceeded 6 billion yuan.

With these ammunition, Xpeng Motors’s thinking of solving problems is no longer limited, releasing the second brand, opening up a new sinking market, landing a big AI model, and of course, going international.

In 2023, Tucki began to quickly adjust its state and gradually climbed out of the trough.

01

More will "make money"

Gross profit margin began to turn positive, which is not a simple matter of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. Behind it is the improvement of operating system efficiency and the gradual maturity of products and commercial capabilities, which is also the key for Tucki to cross the cycle and face the future.

Last April, it was a turning point in Xpeng Motors and was officially released.SEPA 2.0 boosting architectureThis is the only integrated aluminum die-casting and global 800V high-voltage SiC silicon carbide platform before and after mass production in China.

With this brand-new architecture, the development cycle of new cars in Tucki has been shortened by 20%, and the generalization rate of structural parts has reached 80%. The comprehensive efficiency of 800V XPOWER can be increased to 92%, surpassing 91.4% of American head brand new energy vehicles.

To sum up, reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Tucki G6 is the first strategic vehicle with a swing structure. With the advantage of platform-based research and development, the price war has been directly brought to a new dimension with a starting price of 209,900 yuan.

The 250,000-class new energy market is the most competitive price zone for car companies. Tesla, BYD and traditional giants are all desperately grabbing shares, battery costs are also ups and downs, and the public opinion environment is even more tragic. Without Tesla’s brand aura and the cost advantage of BYD’s self-made battery, it is difficult to control the cost in a short time.

The sales curve proves Tucki’s choice. After its listing in June last year, Tucki G6′ s delivery volume kept rising, successively setting a record of monthly sales exceeding 20,000, and winning the market sales champion of 200,000-250,000 grade pure electric SUV.

After the brand-new Tucki G9 went on the market, the sales volume rebounded rapidly, and the proportion of sales volume increased continuously in the brand structure. This has also helped Tucki raise the average price of bicycles,In the fourth quarter, the average price of bicycles reached 203,000 yuan, an increase of about 7,000 yuan compared with the third quarter..

The gross profit margin of automobiles reached 4.1% in the fourth quarter, compared with negative 6.1% in the third quarter of 2023.The chain increased by over 10 percentage points.

On the Q4 conference call, He Xiaopeng bluntly said that the total revenue in the fourth quarter increased month-on-month, mainly due to the rapid growth of sales of G6 and G9. With the help of platform-based R&D and scale effect, Tucki can effectively reduce the supply chain cost and manufacturing cost, and accelerate the realization of the goal of reducing BOM cost by 25% by the end of 2024.

In January this year, Tucki X9 was officially launched. As the most expensive model in Tucki, He Xiaopeng revealed that nearly 4,000 units have been delivered in two months, and it is expected that the sales volume in March and April will be greatly improved.

The income guidance given in the first quarter is 5.8-6 billion yuan. Combined with the sales guidance of 21-22,500 vehicles, it means that the average bicycle price will exceed 230,000, which is higher than that in the fourth quarter of last year. Obviously, the climb of X9 sales will inevitably increase Xiaopeng’s gross profit margin.

In this way, Xpeng Motors has also achieved it to a certain extent.Brand upward.

At the same time, with the continuous decline in the cost of lithium carbonate, including the large space for cost optimization brought by the internal organizational structure, the bicycle cost in Xpeng Motors is also declining. According to the financial report, the bicycle cost in Xpeng Motors decreased by about 10,000 yuan from the previous month to 191,000 yuan.

At this point, the route for Xpeng Motors’s gross profit to turn positive is very clear: diluting the cost with the advantage of platform, raising the selling price with the help of high-end models, and at the same time, carrying out internal structural adjustment, superimposing the natural law of reducing the cost of raw materials in the industry, and realizing positive cash flow.

02

Winning by scale

Turning the gross profit margin positive is only the beginning. How can a car company live well?

Scale, scale or scale.

Tesla’s ambition is to sell 20 million vehicles by 2030. Even if Weilai, who is holding high, is ready to launch a second brand "Ledao" to occupy a lower-priced market.

"We don’t use short-term and small-scale growth as a starting point to lay out the future."

He Xiaopeng bluntly said in the conference call that the next competition will not only depend on the short-term scale share, but also test whether the car companies will continue to lead in many dimensions such as high-quality and efficient scale, intelligence and internationalization.

Facing the future, Xpeng Motors has started the strategy of "group car-riding".

In the next three years, more than 10 brand-new models will be launched. Together with the global left and right rudder models and upgraded models, the total number of SOP models will reach nearly 30. This figure means that Xpeng Motors has got rid of the idea of start-ups.Began to develop towards all categories and globalization..

The first is a brand-new brand. Like Weilai, Tucki’s second brand is also ready to go. He Xiaopeng revealed that during the Beijing Auto Show next month, a brand-new brand for 100,000-150,000 will be officially launched, and it is committed to building the first AI smart car for young people. "This will be the most eye-catching explosion in the A-class pure electric market this year. New model."

This brand-new model will enter the C-end market first. Gu Hongdi, co-president of Xpeng Motors, said in the earnings conference call that MONA will contribute 10,000 sales every month, and such sales scale will be considered "very successful" internally.

Different from the market of more than 200,000, the new energy vehicles with 100,000-150,000 grades face greater difficulties. Companies such as Tesla and Huawei are trying to enter this market, but it is difficult to make a profit because of the high cost of batteries and smart driving systems. Not long ago, Yu Chengdong bluntly said that the cost of Huawei’s intelligent driving system is high. "Only more than 300,000 vehicles can use us to make a profit."

He Xiaopeng is also well aware of the difficulty of the market. He said that it is extremely difficult to make a good car with excellent performance in all aspects and high-level intelligent driving ability in this range, and to achieve profitability, which requires enterprises to have strong scale and systematic ability.

"Today, we are finally ready." In his view, the innovation of AI-driven smart car technology and architecture is no longer a medium-and long-term goal.AI-defined cars with autonomous driving as the core are now in progress..

At the scene of 1024 last year, Tucki revealed that the AI ? ? big model got on the bus, and now there is a clear timetable-the mass production of the AI ? ? smart driving big model got on the bus in the second quarter of this year.

This is still inseparable from the advantages of scale. At the beginning of this year, Tucki began to push XNGP to Max users in full, and the active penetration rate of users reached 83% in February. With the increase of XNGP usage, He Xiaopeng also set a KPI for the team:

I hope that XNGP’s travel experience in core areas, such as Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen, will be compared with Waymo’s Robotaxi in San Francisco.

What is certain is that with the brand-new sub-brand landing, the hardware cost of XNGP will be reduced with high probability. He Xiaopeng revealed that Xpeng Motors’s main brand will release a brand-new model in the second half of this year. "From this brand-new model, the hardware cost of XNGP has dropped by 50%."

In addition to the domestic market, Tucki also tried to replicate the advantages of scale abroad.

He Xiaopeng revealed that the expansion of overseas business has been greatly accelerated this year. In the second quarter, the international left-rudder version of G6 will be launched for the global market, and the right-rudder version of G6 will be launched in the second half of the year. In the future, we will enter Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia and Commonwealth countries by cooperating with high-quality distributors.

Marketing+channel innovation

On the conference call, He Xiaopeng mentioned Wang Fengying the most frequently.

As an experienced automobile veteran, Wang Fengying’s entry into Tucki has brought about earth-shaking changes, not only a mature channel system, but also rich dealer resources. Wang Fengying is highly praised in Xpeng Motors, including He Xiaopeng.

In September last year, under the impetus of Wang Fengying, Tucki began to implement a channel reform plan called "Jupiter Plan", with the aim of eliminating inefficient direct stores and expanding the size of the stores of agent dealers. In addition to reducing costs, this innovative measure is moreLayout sales ability in advanceTo build a more efficient marketing channel system.

He Xiaopeng revealed that in 2023, a round of channel upgrading was completed, with over 130 stores eliminated at the end, and more than 160 excellent dealer partners were introduced, covering 40 new low-tier cities.

In 2024, while cultivating new stores, Tucki will accelerate the channel sinking. By the third quarter of this year, the total number of stores will increase to 600.

For the first time, He Xiaopeng responded positively to the rumor that "dealers are required to reserve inventory", saying that starting from the second quarter of this year, an innovative dealer cooperation model will be launched. By establishing short-term channel inventory for about half a month, the purpose is to speed up terminal delivery and fully activate the enthusiasm of dealers.

In fact, this adjustment in Tucki is not unusual in the automobile industry. It is an open secret that traditional car companies have pressed the dealers for inventory, and some good-looking sales figures are in many cases bought by dealers under pressure.

The inventory ratio of domestic car dealers will generally be around 2 months, and the inventory ratio of some economical family cars will even be higher. The purpose of doing so is also very simple, sales promotion.

In order to avoid the disadvantages of the traditional sales model of 4S stores, Xpeng Motors will strictly control the inventory level and the nationwide unified user purchase experience through systems and monitoring mechanisms.

In addition to the changes in dealer channels, the gameplay of marketing has also begun to adjust.

He Xiaopeng said that in 2024, a strong new marketing team will be established, paying more attention to the marketing of short videos, and reducing inefficient shopping, and upgrading from the original "car+internet" to "car+mobile internet".

For example, during the Spring Festival in Tucki, 20,000 users participated in the activity of soliciting video of car owner Spring Festival travel rush Zhijia, which also made the reputation of Tucki Zhijia spread from first-tier cities to third-and fourth-tier cities. From the recent month, the front-end planting data has increased by more than 100%.

In addition, Wang Fengying also put his own brand innovation strategy in Tucki. During the Great Wall period, Wang Fengying made Deerpika a champion in the market segment by reforming the sales model, and later gave birth to the Haval H6 with the concept of "urban SUV".

He Xiaopeng said that in terms of product planning, Xpeng Motors will insist on category innovation, because category innovation is the innovation with the greatest value, and the differentiation advantage of new categories is far greater than the "involution" of homogenized products. For example, Tucki X9 has created a new category compatible with 4-seater and 7-seater large cars. With the shape of MPV, it has largely cut off the medium and large SUV market.

In the past year, for Xpeng Motors, the external market environment, internal organizational structure, products and channels were all experiencing severe turbulence, but fortunately, Xpeng Motors stood the test.

Next, the wind and rain are still the same, the competition is still the same, and great uncertainty still hangs over every player’s head. Xpeng Motors, who has experienced artillery fire and wind and waves, has found the most suitable way for himself.

[Special correspondent of Global Times in Germany, Aoki, Special correspondent of Global Times, Li Jiayin] "This victory has eliminated some haze of the host of the 2024 European Championship." The Associated Press commented on the recent victory of the German men’s soccer team. On the 12th, the German team defeated the French team 2-1 in a friendly match, and goalkeeper Andrei Ter stegen said: "Now is the most difficult day for the team. We have proved that we can turn things around through victory. This victory has given us confidence." The "hardship" in stegen’s mouth not only refers to the fact that the team just lost its head coach, but also is an evaluation of the German football environment. "A victory and a tragedy were staged at the same time-the German national basketball team won the World Cup, and this achievement was sensational enough. But on the other hand, German men’s football coach Hans fleek left after being defeated by the Japanese team. " The evaluation of German "Daily Mirror" represents the views of mainstream German media, which has aroused public concern about the different fates of Germany’s "two big balls".

"Unbelievable shame"

The decision to fire fleek was widely welcomed, but the timing of the announcement by the German Football Association angered many people. According to the US "TA" website, German sports have recently gained a series of disappointing achievements-German men’s and women’s soccer teams failed to qualify for the World Cup group stage, and German track and field athletes failed to win medals at the Budapest World Championships. Against this background, the sensational victory of the men’s basketball team gave the German sports world a breathing space. However, the German Football Association also announced fleek’s class. Sports reporter Weinreich said: "For the German Football Association, this operation is an incredible shame. They should have announced it before the men’s basketball World Cup final, instead of distracting everyone when they celebrated winning the championship." Similar views are widely spread in the German public opinion field.

German men’s football coach Hans fleek, data map

As the host of the 2024 European Championship, German football is under great pressure. According to the website of Bavarian Football Factory in Germany, before the match against France, Gundogan admitted at a press conference that after learning that fleek was fired, the German team was in a mixed mood of sadness, frustration and disappointment. Fleek is always focused, active and energetic. Unfortunately, the German team failed to turn the advantages of the head coach into advantages. From the paper strength, Germany has a large number of outstanding talents, and most of the players play in the Champions League club. However, the team has never been able to solve the lineup problem-there is no suitable right striker and the defense line has been adjusted.

Constant adjustment and tossing became the "fuse" of fleek’s class. Fleek was successful in Bayern Munich. The formation of the team was very solid, and the best players were fixed in each position. Fleek made great efforts to establish effective communication with all the players and cultivate a united team culture together, so Bayern can keep winning. However, since he took over the German men’s soccer team, fleek’s working style has completely changed. He always seems to change his formation, adjust his tactics and try to use different players, making everything too complicated and the result is very bad.

"German virtue" was abandoned

After the failure of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 group match in 2022, the German Kicker claimed that the failure of German football originated from all levels, from the Football Association to the head coach. "Deutsche Welle" website said that the German team has no real center, and the number of people in the defense line changes frequently. fleek’s coaching has been criticized by many people. Reporter Jonathan Harding even said that the German team is no longer an elite team. In his view, the head coach is responsible for the failure of the German team, but the structure of German football, especially the youth training, is even more fatal.

The German Football Association has caused a heated debate on the reform of youth football. In order to stimulate the interest of primary school students in playing football, the German Football Association introduced a new standard of relative points in primary school. Little players don’t need to pay too much attention to goals and victories, but emphasize personal development. Hans Joachim Watzck, vice chairman of the German Football Association and CEO of Dortmund Club, expressed clear opposition to this: "If you don’t try to fail at the age of eight or nine, you will never find the strength to win. The new youth training method is completely wrong, but these people are still discussing games without goals. " Matthias sammer, a former German international, said in an interview with Sü ddeutsche Zeitung: "German football has given up the traditional’ German virtue’, that is, players are strong and strive for victory with outstanding performance in the game."

The secret of victory of German men’s basketball team

Compared with the men’s soccer teams in fleek and Germany, the German men’s basketball team and its Canadian head coach Gordon Herbert have set a new benchmark. Matthaeus, a famous German football player, said: "Look at the unity of the German basketball team and their head coach with great personality. Herbert’s control over the team surprised me very much." The website "Deutsche Welle" said that the German men’s basketball team won the championship by defeating the United States in the semi-final and Serbia in the final, and achieved great achievements that were once unimaginable.

The last time the German men’s basketball team reached the semi-finals of the World Cup was back in 2002. After winning the silver medal in the European Championship in 2005, the German men’s basketball team fell into a trough. Fei Molin, a former German men’s basketball player, said: "In the past, teams in the Bundesliga always had foreign aid (mainly), which resulted in the loss of two generations of German players. Now, the club pays more attention to providing opportunities for young local players, which is one of the reasons why we now have an excellent national team. "

With youth training as a guarantee, the German men’s basketball team began to pay attention to the long-term and sustainable team building. In 2021, Herbert took office. Under his leadership, the German men’s basketball team won the bronze medal in the European Championship in 2022. Fei Molin said that the secret of the success of the German men’s basketball team is to give the coaches and players trust and keep the team continuous. Among the players who won the bronze medal in the European Championship with Herbert last year, nine have set foot on this year’s World Cup. Herbert believes: "Without commitment, you can’t achieve your goals. Everyone always talks about achieving your goals, but first and foremost, everyone needs dedication and sacrifice. All players have made such commitments."

In this Men’s Basketball World Cup, Schroeder became the deserved leader of the German team, and his role was similar to Nowitzki’s. If Schroeder is not in good shape, how will the German men’s basketball team respond? In the game against Latvia, Schroeder felt cold, and he admitted after the game that "this was his worst game." But the Wagner brothers, Oberster and Timan stepped forward to help the team get through.

Fei Molin said that this is our best national team. Based on the continuous growth of reserve talents, Fei Molin is no longer worried about the obvious decline of the German men’s basketball team in the future. However, it may be a good choice for the German men’s soccer team, which is in the "head coach’s empty window", to return to the first-team teams and emulate the German men’s basketball team.

This summer

Temperatures in many parts of the country hit a historical record.

Since the ambush

Only air conditioners, fans and cold drinks can "continue life"

But when it comes to "cold drinks", many parents wave their hands again and again.

High in sugar, oil and calories.

Better eat fruit.

After all, summer

It is a good season to eat fruit.

not only that；nay

There is a way to eat fruit.

But it’s better than "cold drink"

that is

"Frozen" to eat!

Frozen fruit is better than you think.

Many people say that since eating frozen fruit, even ice cream is inferior!

The delicious ice cream mainly depends on fat, protein and sugar. Wherein fat and protein provide mouthfeel.

Protein will seize the "water" molecules in sugar water to form bound water; Fat is broken up to form small fat balls, which are combined with protein and water, and they work together to form a smoother and more delicate taste.

This kind of taste can also be found in frozen durian.

Moreover, even though durian is already the king of calories in fruits, reaching 150kcal/100g, it is just a low-fat product compared with ice cream.

In addition to durian, there are bananas, which are also comparable to ice cream.

At the same time, researchers in many countries believe that super-processed foods (ice cream, chocolate, cakes, potato chips) and so on are positively related to obesity. High calorie is not the main problem of these foods. The bigger problem is that they are often high in sugar, fat and salt, and rarely provide diversified nutrition. They can be obtained everywhere and are particularly easy to eat more.

Delicious, nutritious and not fat, frozen fruit is really worth a try.

Recommended frozen fruit "red list"

Frozen fruit is delicious, but not all fruits are suitable to be thrown into the refrigerator.

Only those with high sweetness (ripe), fine texture, delicate and smooth taste of ice cream or cool and refreshing smoothies are suitable for freezing.

Specifically recommend several models for everyone:

Frozen durian can be described as a "perfect substitute" for dessert. protein and fat are high, so it will taste like ice cream, but durian is also high in sugar. Children who control their weight should not be greedy!

one

Banana is high in potassium and low in sodium, which is the best choice for quick energy supplement. The taste of frozen bananas is also very similar to that of ice cream, and the taste is soft and waxy like adding cream. However, it needs to be reminded that frozen bananas should be peeled before freezing, otherwise they will be frostbitten.

2

Mango has a high carotene content, 45 to 104 times that of apple, which is helpful to improve night blindness, and it is also a selenium-rich food. The frozen mango has a more fragrant aroma and a fine and soft taste. However, it is best to peel mangoes after freezing, and it is best to choose ripe mangoes for freezing.

three

Jackfruit is a high-potassium food. After freezing, its taste is crisp and waxy, so it is worth a try. However, the sugar content of jackfruit is very high, so children who need to lose weight should control their consumption.

four

Croissant honey is a representative of sweet but not fat fruit. It tastes sweet and refreshing, but in fact it is not high in calories. The taste of frozen croissant honey is very similar to that of sandwich ice cream, with crisp outer layer and soft inner core. Children who are greedy for "sandwich ice cream" are worth a try.

five

Grapes are rich in a variety of fruit acids to help digestion, and high levels of vitamin C and anthocyanins are also beneficial to the body. Frozen grapes taste like smoothies, and after melting a little, they look like jelly.

six

Litchi has a high content of vitamin C, which is comparable to citrus fruits. Frozen litchi mixed with pulp with ice residue is very chewy. It should be noted that the sugar content of litchi is also very high. Although a considerable part is fructose, the total amount of glucose and sucrose is not low. Children who need to control sugar should eat less.

seven

Watermelon, a fruit with moisture in off the charts, is a proper popsicle after freezing. It has a rustling taste and melts in your mouth and is full of juice.

eight

Papaya must be softened before freezing. Soft papaya is frozen for one night, slightly warmed up, soft and waxy, with delicate pulp, and there is no ice residue in it, which is biased towards the dense taste of ice cream. After freezing, the fragrance of papaya became more and more full, and the sweetness became refreshing.

nine

Tips:

Fruits with high sweetness and good flavor are delicious when frozen, and the sweetness after freezing is not so greasy. Tropical fruits such as durian, mango and pineapple are generally suitable for frozen eating; On the contrary, the more sour the fruit, the less suitable it is to be frozen. Don’t try fruits like plums, apricots and oranges easily.

Fruits with high fructose content are sweet at low temperature, such as grapes and watermelons, which are sweet and refreshing after freezing; Fruits with high sucrose content have similar sweetness at any temperature, such as dates and peaches, which will not be sweeter after freezing.

There are requirements for "frozen" fruits

Although frozen fruit is delicious, improper operation may "hurt" your body!

Many parents worry that their children think that eating cold food will cause diarrhea. But in fact, sometimes children will feel uncomfortable after eating cold food, which may not be caused by "cold", but there may also be the following reasons:

Food intolerance (or allergy)

Some children have gastrointestinal discomfort after eating certain foods, which is largely due to food allergies. In summer fruits, mangoes and pineapples are allergic foods. In addition to allergies, there may be food intolerance. Some children’s intestines and stomach can’t digest and decompose certain foods, which will cause discomfort such as flatulence, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

Eat too much at once

Eating frozen fruit in summer can cool off the heat and quench thirst, so it is easy for children to binge and eat if they are not careful. But in fact, whether it is warm or cold, eating too much is easy to cause indigestion.

Personal constitution

Some children have a fragile stomach. If they have irritable bowel syndrome and are prone to gastroenteritis, eating cold food may cause stomach upset.

In addition, there is one of the most important reasons that must be paid attention to when freezing fruits, that is-

Food is contaminated by germs.

In the process of fruit pretreatment, frozen fruit and thawing, food comes into contact with some microorganisms, causing virus, bacteria and protozoa infection, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea in children.

Therefore, I suggest you:

Pay attention to the separation of raw and cooked in pretreatment.

Use clean chopping boards and drinking water when peeling and cleaning. Cutting tools and chopping boards should be separated from raw ones.

If there is room in the refrigerator, you can use a freezer drawer to store frozen fruits. If there is not such a big place, be careful not to put frozen fruits and raw meat products together.

Do a good job of packing and sealing.

Although the microbial reproduction of fruit is slow after freezing, it can be preserved for a long time in theory. However, if the fruit is frozen for too long, it will produce large ice crystals, and many fruits will easily taste bad, which will affect the taste.

Don’t freeze and thaw repeatedly

Repeated freezing and thawing is not only a serious nutrient loss, but also prone to deterioration.

Finally, the frozen fruit can be eaten after 5 to 10 minutes.

Eating fruit should also be divided into time periods

Fruit itself contains different enzymes. If you want enzymes to have different effects in the body, you should also choose the most suitable time to eat.

Don’t eat too sour on an empty stomach.

People with poor gastrointestinal function should not eat fruit in the morning. Bananas are also not suitable for eating on an empty stomach, which will speed up the movement of the stomach and increase the burden on the heart.

Eating fruit between meals can quickly supplement vitamins.

When eating fruit between meals, fructose and glucose in the fruit can be quickly absorbed by the human body. Pineapples can be eaten after lunch, and watermelons are best eaten two hours after meals.

Don’t eat a lot after dinner.

Eating fruit 1 hour after a meal helps digestion, and you can choose fruits with high organic acid content such as pineapple and hawthorn.

But don’t eat a lot of fruit after dinner, which is not good for digestion, and it is easy to turn the sugar into fat and accumulate in the body because of eating too much.

Homemade fruit ice cream

If you want to make ice cream for your child, you must remember the following "formula":

Frozen fruit+yogurt+banana+whipping
