In Guangling Economic Development Zone, the workshop of hot die forging intelligent equipment project is under construction. The project was built by Yangli Group with an investment of 850 million yuan. After completion, it can produce 10 intelligent production lines of large servo multi-position presses and 50 sets of intelligent equipment for hot die forging every year.

　　Industrial machine tools (machine tools) are the basis of manufacturing industry, and are called "the heavy equipment of the country". For a long time, the domestic high-end CNC machine tool field is highly dependent on imports. Yangli Group invested in the construction of a complete set of intelligent equipment for hot die forging, and advanced into the field of high-end industrial machine tools, which is a vivid case of the breakthrough in the industrial chain of industrial machine tools and robots in our city. The data shows that there are 65 industrial enterprises in the industrial chain of industrial mother machines and robots in the city, which have formed the characteristics and advantages of metal forming machine tools, high-end single (set) equipment to drive the development of complete production lines and integrated application of industrial robots.

　　The ambition of "individual champion"

　　Yangli Group is a single champion enterprise in the mechanical press manufacturing industry, and is committed to the research, development, manufacture and sales of forging equipment. Its main products include mechanical presses, hot die forging presses, CNC turret punches and complete sets of equipment, which are widely used in aerospace, automobiles, home appliances and other fields at home and abroad.

　　Hot die forging equipment is mainly suitable for precision die forging under mass production conditions. "After years of technical accumulation and research, we have successfully developed an intelligent and efficient hot die forging press and an intelligent and efficient precision forging flexible production line, and the key indicators such as production rhythm have reached the international advanced level." Zhang Jun, vice president of Yangli Group, introduced that the products have been demonstrated and applied by well-known enterprises in forging, auto parts and other industries. "With hot die forging, warm forging, cold forging, electric screw main engine and automatic production line as the main products, we are confident to become a first-class heavy manufacturing equipment production base at home and abroad." Zhang Jun introduced that it is estimated that after the completion of the intelligent hot die forging equipment project, the annual sales of new invoices will be about 1 billion yuan, and the new tax payment will be about 70 million yuan. In recent years, Yangli Group has been focusing on intelligent manufacturing, focusing on high-end forging equipment and automatic production line technology research and development. At present, the domestic market share is leading in this field.

　　In the subdivision of home appliance sheet metal forming equipment, the product technology of flexible intelligent production line for home appliance precision sheet metal forming developed by Yangli Group has reached the domestic leading and international advanced level. The product customers include Haier, Midea, TCL and other major domestic home appliance enterprises, and are exported to South America, Russia and other countries and regions, leading the domestic market share industry. In addition, in the subdivision of forming equipment for passenger car panels, the overall technology of intelligent flexible stamping production line for passenger car panels developed by Yangli Group is leading in China, and its customers include domestic and foreign well-known automobile manufacturers and first-class suppliers, and its domestic market share is among the best.

　　Breakthrough of "Yangzhou Legion"

　　Industrial machine tool is one of the advantageous industries in our city. Four of the top 10 domestic metal forming machine tool manufacturers are located in Yangzhou, namely Yangli Group, Yawei Co., Ltd., Yangzhou Forging and Jinfangyuan. Hanjiang CNC forming machine tool industrial cluster was selected as the national small and medium-sized enterprise characteristic industrial cluster in 2023, which is the only one in the middle and northern Jiangsu.

　　In recent years, the "Yangzhou Corps", an industrial chain of industrial machine tools and robots, has continuously increased its scientific and technological research and development efforts and conquered a number of key new technologies. The project technology of "Key Technologies and Complete Equipment for Intelligent Sheet Metal Processing" developed by Yawei Co., Ltd. is leading in China. A number of key core technical research projects, such as automatic hot die forging complete sets of equipment for Yangzhou Forging and Yangli Group’s large brake clutch with low inertia, have filled the gaps in China. Guiyu Aviation has developed and manufactured a variety of high-precision machine tools to meet the domestic market demand.

　　In addition, Yawei Co., Ltd. and Yangli Group have built a national-level industrial Internet logo analysis secondary node to provide enabling services to the industry. Yawei Zhiyun of Yawei Co., Ltd. was approved as the national industrial Internet demonstration platform, providing "hard+soft+cloud" integrated intelligent manufacturing services for more than 1,000 downstream SMEs. With the help of industrial Internet platform, Jiangsu Yizhong CNC machine tool developed a remote customer service support system to provide remote monitoring, fault diagnosis, guidance and maintenance of machine tools. In terms of market expansion, enterprises in the industrial machine tool industry in our city have laid out new fields such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaics and 5G. Yawei Co., Ltd. won the order of 5000 tons of heavy-duty bending machine and made a new breakthrough in the largest tonnage order of domestic CNC bending machine; Yang Forging deepened cooperation with the OEM of new energy automobile enterprises and delivered a complete set of automatic production line & HELIP; … A number of projects under construction are accelerating the strengthening of the industrial chain, supplementing the chain and extending the chain. According to statistics, in the industrial chain of industrial machine tools and robots, there are 25 major projects under construction in the city this year, with a total investment of more than 3 billion yuan. Among them, Yangzhou Dolphin Star Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. invested 500 million yuan to build an annual output of 6,000 Dolphin Star intelligent handling robots, and Yawei Co., Ltd. invested 680 million yuan to build servo presses and automatic stamping line production projects.

　　Shaping new competitive advantages

　　Industrial mother machine is a typical general equipment with obvious periodicity. With the rapid growth of new energy vehicles, photovoltaic, wind power, 5G and other emerging industries, the application fields of industrial mother machines are increasing. Industry experts predict that the industry will develop rapidly with a compound annual growth rate of over 10% in the future.

　　Our city has made clear the development goal of industrial mother machine and robot industry chain this year: the output value of enterprises is 11 billion yuan; Breakthroughs have been made in the development of major equipment, and about five iconic high-end industrial mother machine products have been developed; In key areas such as new energy vehicles, aerospace and electronic information, we will create 10 typical innovative application scenarios … …

　　Reporter’s notes

　　Valuable climbing "high" and pursuing "new"

　　In the enterprise interview, I deeply felt the value of the development of industrial mother machine and robot industry chain: constantly climbing to the high end. Yangli Group built a complete set of intelligent equipment for hot die forging to expand its production capacity, and Guiyu Airlines developed high-precision machine tools to meet the domestic market demand; Yawei Co., Ltd. and Yangli Group built the second-level node of national industrial Internet logo analysis, and completed the gorgeous transformation from manufacturer to service provider … … Yangzhou enterprises have laid out new fields such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaics and 5G, developed new markets and expanded new space for industrial chain development. Relying on innovation, industrial machine tools and robot industry chain enterprises are getting rid of the traditional development mode and accelerating the cultivation and development of new quality productivity. Enterprises are the main body in developing new quality productive forces. Twenty-five projects under construction are lengthening and enriching the industrial chain, reflecting that Yangzhou’s excellent business environment is becoming a fertile soil for incubating new quality productivity. This year, our city will carry out six key tasks, speed up the breakthrough of the industrial chain, and create new advantages for the high-quality development of the industrial chain. It is reasonable to believe that the development of industrial machinery and robot industrial chain will usher in a better tomorrow.

　　Expert comments

　　Continue to make efforts to upgrade files.

　　□ Fu Dongli, Chief Expert of Yangzhou Industrial Machine Tool and Robot Industry Chain, Dean of Jiangsu Mechanical Design and Research Institute and Professor-level Senior Engineer

　　Industrial machine tool is the "machine tool", which is the foundation of manufacturing industry and has an important supporting position in the national economy; Robot is an important symbol of scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing level, and it is also the new blue ocean of manufacturing industry in the future.

　　Yangzhou industrial machine tool industry has a long history and a solid foundation, forming the characteristics and advantages of taking metal forming machine tools as the main part, cutting machine tools as the supplement, and high-end single (set) equipment to drive the development of complete production lines. Especially in the field of metal forming machine tools, it is unique. Four of the top 10 domestic metal forming machine tool manufacturers are in Yangzhou. However, compared with advanced regions, there are still problems such as small overall scale and insufficient industrial support, which need to be continuously exerted to promote the upgrading of the industrial chain.

　　I have three suggestions: First, promote the backbone enterprises to become bigger and stronger, aim at expanding the industrial scale, and concentrate superior resources to cultivate key enterprises. The second is to consolidate the supply chain foundation of the industrial chain and promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional parts supporting enterprises to intelligent greening; Carry out professional investment promotion in the field of machine tool supporting, and strive to make a breakthrough in the local supporting of key core components. The third is to strengthen the platform construction of integration of production and education, guide key enterprises to strengthen cooperation with institutions of higher learning, and promote the construction of integration of production and education.

　

　　　　On April 4th, in Bucharest, Romania, Russian President Vladimir Putin attended a press conference after the NATO-Russia Council meeting. Putin spoke positively of the meeting as a whole, but at the same time he once again expressed his dissatisfaction on controversial issues such as NATO expansion. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Jinquan photo

　　　　As many people had expected, Russian President Vladimir Putin showed people a calm smile in Bucharest this time, instead of a cold face and aggressive words.

　　　　Although Russia is not a formal participant in this NATO summit, the results of the meeting show Russia’s influence that cannot be ignored everywhere-the accession of Ukraine and Georgia will be put on hold for at least several years; If the United States wants to complete its plan to deploy a missile defense system in eastern Europe, it must continue to "convince" Russia; In addition, it seems that not many people are keen to talk about the Kosovo issue at this summit. Obviously, in this round of game, Russia has safeguarded its core interests to the maximum extent by virtue of its growing strength and skillful diplomatic skills.

　　　　Analysts have noticed that compared with his words and deeds in Munich more than a year ago, Putin’s attitude in Bucharest has undergone an impressive change. On the one hand, it still refuses to budge on issues concerning national interests; On the other hand, it puts more emphasis on dialogue and cooperation. Putin made it clear that Russia is willing to carry out constructive cooperation with NATO and jointly seek solutions to major problems in today’s world. As a concrete measure of cooperation, the Russian government announced that it agreed that NATO would transit Russian territory (land) to transport "non-military materials" such as food and fuel to the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. It can be considered that Putin stood at a high point again this time. What NATO countries, including the United States, should understand is that dealing with countries like Russia can’t solve any problems by coercion and squeezing. Only by carrying out dialogue and cooperation on the premise of respecting each other’s interests and concerns can a benign interaction be formed. In this regard, Putin seems to have taught his NATO opponents another lesson.

　　　　Putin’s trip to Bucharest can also be regarded as a fixed-tone trip. After Russia elected a new president, the west has been trying to find out the future diplomatic direction of Russia, especially whether its attitude towards the west will become more moderate. In fact, Putin’s "curtain call performance" in Bucharest has clearly explained everything: resolutely safeguarding national interests is the bottom line of Russian diplomacy. As long as you don’t touch this bottom line, everything is negotiable. Russia’s national interests determine that its diplomacy can only adopt such a posture, which is not something that anyone can change if he wants to. In this sense, Putin’s words and deeds in Bucharest also set the tone for the diplomatic line and policy of the next President of medvedev. (Chen Dawei)

Guan Xiaotong is beautiful again!

At the opening of the 77th Cannes International Film Festival, many stars gathered together. You should know that besides the official invitation, the stars who can get on the red carpet can also be selected by media voting.

Therefore, Guan Xiaotong’s campaign is in line with public opinion.

As a post-1995 actress, Guan Xiaotong has appeared at the Cannes International Film Festival for the fifth time. She has not entered the shortlist this time, but was invited by the official (Ambassador of Greater China Tourism Promotion in Nice, France).

It is reported that she is wearing an antique dress that has been treasured for 16 years. It is a limited edition of a certain Gaoding in 2008. In order to match the dress, Guan Xiaotong also specially ironed her retro wavy hair, which is beautiful from head to toe, showing the elegance of the orientals.

Netizens are very satisfied with Guan Xiaotong’s dress, and bluntly say that she is a natural clothes rack and looks good in anything.

In fact, for other stars, Guan Xiaotong is not a very thin actress. She has broad shoulders and a strong physique, but she wins in that sweet face, which is somewhat similar to Liu Yifei.

Many people gave thumbs up to Guan Xiaotong’s outfit, but some people expressed their views that Guan Xiaotong’s makeup artist had never won, and this dress was old-fashioned and didn’t accord with Guan Xiaotong’s temperament at all.

When Guan Xiaotong became an adult, she was often called "rustic" by netizens. The media reported many times that she was wearing clothes that didn’t meet her identity, and her style was particularly exaggerated. She always felt that she had good conditions, but she didn’t have her own momentum and characteristics.

Perhaps, the kind of clothes that are too feminine and too royal are not suitable for Guan Xiaotong.

This time, on the red carpet in Cannes, Guan Xiaotong’s expression was particularly in place, and she waved POSS from time to time. The security personnel did not drive her away, and the reporter also aimed at Guan Xiaotong with long guns and short guns, for fear of missing the beautiful moment.

Guan Xiaotong’s every move shows the charm of China women, stunning the world, which is too embarrassing.

Guan Xiaotong made a splash abroad, while her boyfriend Lu Han vomited wildly at home, so everyone called him a "silly roe deer".

On May 15th, some media exposed the photos of Lu Han after work. He left with his friends, and then the car stopped slowly. Lu Han directly stood on the side of the road and vomited. The situation looked very bad.

Later, a friend got off the bus and handed a bottle of water. Lu Han gargled and communicated with his friends. This scene was quite funny.

The netizens who are familiar with Lu Han know that his stomach is not very good. I don’t know if he is unwell or drunk this time. In short, Lu Han, you should take good care of yourself.

With a pinch of fingers, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong, the sweet CP, have passed the "seven-year itch". They have resisted the flood of entertainment and expressed their deep love for each other. Even their friends can’t help feeling: you are true love.

If there is an activity of "Top Ten Good Men" in the entertainment circle, Lu Han is definitely among them.

Back in those days, he was the top player in internal entertainment, and public love was undoubtedly "seeking death". Sure enough, when Lu Han became public, a large number of fans publicly abused him, decisively took over, and even fanatics threatened him.

From then on, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong started a love full of thorns.

During that time, Lu Han’s career was extremely frustrated, and the notice was almost zero. The "culprit" of all this was Guan Xiaotong.

As a child star, Guan Xiaotong’s acting skills are recognized by people in the industry, and she doesn’t care much about fame and fortune. Therefore, even if the family background is prominent, it is still humble and polite.

Guan Xiaotong’s personnel setting is relatively positive. They have been through ups and downs for so many years, which is rare in the changeable entertainment circle.

Guan Xiaotong once said: True love doesn’t need to show off, just know it yourself.

Lu Han is really lucky to find such a good girl.

I believe that actions speak louder than words, and time is the best way to prove everything.

Two people have been together for so many years, which shows how deep their feelings are.

In the future, I hope you will continue to support the two and wish them an early marriage.

With the success of Company No.9, Gao Lufeng entered the Red Sea of electric bicycles.

The electric bicycle industry is extremely involuted, which goes deep into villages and towns in China. It is not easy to get out of many enterprises, and the secret of the success of Company No.9 is the differentiated high-end.

Not long ago, Company No.9 held a new product launch conference. Gao Lufeng, founder and chairman of No.9 Company, said, "Based on our scientific and technological innovation and market insight, we hope to make the blue ocean bigger and the red sea blue, and win-win with the market and users."

In the eyes of the public, Company No.9, which firmly occupies the high-end market of electric vehicles, seems to be the most promising king to subvert the electric vehicle market.

However, if a fish knows how to drink cold and warm, it will become a high-end company, and at the same time, Company No.9 can’t escape the niche.

For a long time, the sales volume of No.9 electric vehicle is not at the same level as that of Yadea and Emma.

According to Sina Finance, in 2022, the total annual sales volume of electric scooters and electric bicycles in Yadea was 14.01 million, while the annual sales volume of Emma’s electric bicycles and electric two-wheeled motorcycles was 10.51 million. According to the annual report of No.9 Company, as of March 2023, the cumulative domestic shipment of No.9 electric vehicles was 1.5 million.

With such a big sales gap, can Company No.9 really rely on hard-core technology to achieve counterattack?

Relying on science and technology, Company No.9 is firmly in the high-end market.

In 2012, Gao Lufeng and Wang Ye jointly founded Company No.9, mainly involved in the field of short-distance transportation.

Different from ordinary entrepreneurs, Gao Lufeng, who graduated from Beihang University majoring in aircraft manufacturing, has been focusing on science and technology and innovation since the beginning of his business.

Gao Lufeng once said: "The company’s performance growth is mainly based on continuous innovation, constantly improving the scientific and technological content of products and enabling products to land."

At that time, Company No.9 successfully earned the first bucket of gold by relying on the first generation of intelligent balance cars with self-balance status.

Around 2013, with the rapid growth of mobile phone business, Xiaomi announced the "Xiaomi Ecological Chain" plan, and prepared to invest in 100 AIoT enterprises in the next five years.

Gao Lufeng was keenly aware that this was an opportunity for the rise of Company No.9, so he reached a cooperation with Xiaomi Company. In 2014, with advanced science and technology, Company No.9 became a member of Xiaomi’s ecological chain, and received A-round investment of more than 80 million US dollars from stars such as Xiaomi, Sequoia and Shunwei.

Facts have proved that Gao Lufeng’s choice is very correct, and cooperation with Xiaomi has indeed laid the foundation for the future development of No.9 company.

On October 19, 2015, with the official appearance of the No.9 balance car at the Xiaomi conference, Lei Jun also announced that it would be sold in Xiaomi omni-channel, and the No.9 balance car quickly became popular in the market and instantly became a phenomenal explosion product.

At the same time, in order to improve the technical core strength of No.9 Company, in 2015, No.9 Company successfully acquired Segway, the originator of the world balance car. After the completion of the acquisition, Company No.9 not only owns more than 400 global industry core patents, but also becomes a global leader in the field of intelligent short-distance transportation.

Since then, with the development strategy change of No.9 Company, the balance car is no longer its core business, but its concept of product strength has not changed.

According to the data of iResearch, one of the important elements that more and more consumers consider when buying a car is intelligent function.

The No.9 electric vehicle has a strong lead over other products in software and intelligent technology. In December 2019, Company No.9 officially released its first intelligent electric two-wheeled vehicle, which not only has a product design with both practicality and recognition, but also brings a subversive riding experience with its technological sense design. Many No.9 users feel that "No.9 is Tesla in the electric vehicle industry", which will be unforgettable once it is used.

With advanced scientific and technological design, the No.9 electric vehicle has quickly occupied the high-end market of smart electric vehicles since its listing.

According to the annual report of No.9 electric vehicle, in 2020, the sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle will exceed 100,000 in the first year of listing; In 2021, the production and sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle reached 420,000, with a year-on-year growth rate of 300%; In 2022, the sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle was 826,000, with a year-on-year growth rate of 96.6%.

According to the data of "White Paper on Two-wheeled Electric Vehicle Industry in China in 2023", Company No.9 has always been the first in the high-end market of two-wheeled electric vehicles by continuously focusing on brand technology innovation. According to the comprehensive sales data of two-wheeled electric vehicles in 2022, among the high-end product lines of more than 5,000 yuan, the sales volume of Company No.9 is in the first position in the industry, among which among the top10 models with sales volume of more than 5,000 yuan, Company No.9 has 8 models on the list.

In October, 2020, Company No.9 was listed in science and technology innovation board, Shanghai Stock Exchange, and successfully completed a gorgeous turn of a startup.

02 high-end positioning, but in the embarrassing position of small profits.

With the rapid development of No.9 company, its revenue level has been rising in recent years.

According to the annual report of Company No.9, in 2020, Company No.9 realized annual revenue of 6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 30.88%, turning losses into profits for the first time, and the net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was 73.3264 million yuan; In 2021, Company No.9 achieved annual revenue of 9.146 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 52.36%, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was 411 million yuan; In 2022, the revenue exceeded 10.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.7%, and the net profit returned to the mother was 451 million yuan.

However, although the operating income statement of Company No.9 is strong, its gross profit margin is not optimistic or even ugly.

According to the financial report of No.9 company, although the company’s operating income has increased year by year and the growth rate is not low, its gross profit margin has been declining all the way.

From 2018 to 2021, its gross profit margin was 28.86%, 27.42%, 27.69% and 23.23% respectively.

Although compared with other two-wheeled electric vehicles, the gross profit margin of No.9 electric vehicle is very considerable, but as a brand focusing on the high-end market, its revenue has increased well, but its gross profit margin has been declining, which is not a good sign.

All along, Company No.9 has been in an awkward position of small profits, which has a great relationship with the deep bundling of Xiaomi Company.

In the early days, relying on the big tree of Xiaomi Group, Company No.9 did not worry about order income even though its wings were not full. In 2017, Xiaomi Group contributed more than 1 billion yuan in orders to Company No.9, accounting for 74% of its total revenue; In 2018, Company No.9 received an order of 2.434 billion yuan from Xiaomi Group.

However, although the income is good, it is difficult for suppliers to obtain high profits because Xiaomi products win with cost performance.

According to the prospectus No.9, the products of Company No.9 are in a state of small profits because Xiaomi products are oriented to cost performance and mainly adopt the profit sharing model. From 2017 to 2019, the gross profit margin of Xiaomi’s products sold by No.9 Company was 22.46%, 20.79% and 15.11% respectively, while the gross profit margin of No.9 Company’s own brand was as high as 42.58%, and the gross profit margin of Xiaomi’s products was significantly lower than that of its own brand products.

In order to increase the gross profit margin, Company No.9 chose to gradually untie Xiaomi Company and reduce the proportion of Xiaomi products in the company’s operating income.

I have to say that this move has indeed improved the gross profit margin of Company No.9.. According to the financial report, in 2022, the gross profit margin of Company No.9 rose to 25.97%, up 2.74 percentage points year-on-year. However, the net interest rate of Company No.9 also dropped to 4.43%, down 0.03 percentage point from the same period of last year.

At the same time, after leaving Xiaomi, the performance growth of Company No.9 is basically at a standstill.

Although the revenue and net profit of Company No.9 in 2022 still showed a double increase trend, compared with 2021, the growth rate of revenue and net profit returned to the mother dropped significantly.

In this regard, Company No.9 explained to the media that due to the epidemic situation, the logistics in some areas was interrupted, which led to the shortage of some important raw materials and parts of the company, resulting in delayed delivery.

However, Zheshang Securities analyzed that there will be some pressure on the short-term income of Company No.9, which is actually related to the decline of Xiaomi channel income.

Obviously, although Company No.9 wants to leave Xiaomi to achieve soaring, it seems that the road ahead is not easy.

03 quality problems are frequent, and the prospect of No.9 is not optimistic.

What’s even more embarrassing is that although Company No.9 relies on powerful intelligent technology to achieve cornering overtaking in the two-wheeled electric vehicle market, its product quality problems are frequent, so it has been criticized by many consumers.

According to Shandong Business Daily, in June 2022, Ms. Liao, who lives in Shantou, Guangdong Province, bought a No.9 n70c electric bicycle worth 3,599 yuan in a local No.9 electric bicycle shop.

Unexpectedly, less than half a year after the purchase, there were various failures. Although several dashboards were replaced, they still failed to solve the problem. There are still system failures such as black screen, Bluetooth unable to connect, and APP showing that the vehicle is offline, but the vehicle has been unable to start and use normally, and it has become an electric brick.

On the black cat complaint platform, there are more than 8,100 complaints about No.9, most of which are about quality problems such as "the battery starved to death", "the intelligent system failed during the warranty period" and "the electric vehicle has great safety hazards".

In addition to frequent quality problems, consumers are also very dissatisfied with the after-sales service of No.9 company.

A consumer said on the black cat complaint platform that his No.9 electric car had 40 batteries left, but it broke down and couldn’t be started at all. After contacting the store, the other party asked him to send it to a 12-kilometer store by himself. After contact, no one handled it, and the store said that only one master could not come to the door. He was very disappointed with the after-sales attitude of Company No.9..

In the sampling inspection of relevant departments, the No.9 electric vehicle also failed many times.

In October 2022, Beijing Fengtai District Market Supervision Administration announced the results of product quality supervision and spot check in 2021, which showed that a No.9 electric bicycle produced by No.9 Technology Co., Ltd. was found to be unqualified, and the items involved were "speed warning sound and short circuit protection".

With more and more consumers complaining about the quality of No.9 electric vehicle after use, it will inevitably bring bad reputation to No.9 company.

Recently, in order to find a new growth curve, Company No.9 began to touch the "other economy", hoping to find a new competitive advantage in the unique consumption field of young women.

However, although this group has great consumption potential, it obviously has higher requirements and pays more attention to consumption quality, experience and service.

If Company No.9 can’t actively improve after-sales service and product quality, then the new growth curve may be just a mirage and may not be realized.

Although the dream of Company No.9 is good and it has advantages in the field of intelligence development, it still needs a lot of efforts to make the blue ocean bigger and the red sea blue.

Presumably, everyone knows the pre-sale price, 215,900 yuan, no more or less, just passing the edge of 200,000 yuan. Therefore, according to the popular "high opening and low walking" game in the pre-sale stage and the official listing stage, it is very likely that the starting price of Extreme Yue 07 will be lowered to about 190,000 yuan.

I won’t say much about the appearance configuration. Recently, it happened to be the Chengdu Auto Show. Friends who are free can go to the booth of the Extreme Vietnam to experience and consult. It just happened that this car is also here. Next, let’s go straight to the theme and discuss the core of Extreme Yue 07, which is also the core of this brand: AI Zhijia.

In fact, as early as two days before the Media Day of Chengdu Auto Show in 2024, Jiyue specially held a press conference to give a more comprehensive introduction to its current AI intelligent driving level, and I happened to participate.

At the meeting, Xia Yiping, CEO of Extreme Yue, first introduced the commonality between Extreme Yue and Radish Run. On the one hand, both of them are backed by Baidu, and on the other hand, everyone has L4 autopilot technology. But the difference is that Rapunzel is commercial, while Extreme Yue is domestic, so for Extreme Yue, this is the first time that L4 autonomous driving technology has empowered the family car market, which is of great significance to itself and the market.

So what do you think the family car equipped with L4 autonomous driving technology will look like? Is it like a radish running with a perception radar that is more in the way than the roof trunk, or is it like Weilai, with three bags at one head? Sorry, neither.

In their own words, they think that the system that mainly depends on "lidar+high-precision map+rule algorithm" is the classical intelligent driving, while "pure vision+end-to-end large model" is the new intelligent driving. Therefore, when Xia Yiping talked about the ASD link, in addition to the "APOLLP LP" marked with Baidu, he also marked the words "the only one in the world and the only one in China".

Indeed, in addition to Tesla’s FSD in the world, there are not many car companies that insist on adopting pure vision solutions, and even fewer can do it. If ASD can really run like a radish, and realize L4 automatic driving with pure vision scheme on private cars based on Apollo ADFM model, then it is indeed "the only one in the world and the only one in China", but the question is whether it can be done?

According to the function of the live demonstration at the press conference, whether it is high speed, city or obstacle stopping and avoiding, obstacle bypassing between lanes, parking in extremely narrow parking spaces, AEB ability, etc., the Extreme Yue 07 with ASD full of blood does have little difference from Huawei ADS 3.0, but it does not show its intelligent driving ability in rainy days, foggy days and other poor perception situations, which is exactly the essential difference between lidar and camera.

But I have to say that the price of ASD is really exciting and true conscience! Tesla’s FSD buyout is about 60 thousand yuan, while ASD is only about 30 thousand yuan, and the limited time period is only 4999 yuan. To tell the truth, this price can’t be installed with a laser radar, but it can directly buy out the high-order intelligent driving function of ASD’s complete set of pure vision solutions, so I don’t want to talk about it.

Generally speaking, whether ASD can completely replace the intelligent driving system under the laser radar scheme at present, with reference to the embarrassing situation of FSD abroad, I personally think it remains to be verified. However, as one of the few car companies in China that adopt the pure vision intelligent driving scheme, the more capable they are, the more they are.

　　Passat is a front-wheel drive car driven by water cooling. "passat" originally means the name of a monsoon, which blows evenly and steadily from the southern Atlantic Ocean to the equator every year, persisting and persistent. Like its name, almost all passat’s water-drop shape makes people feel unparalleled fluency. Since it was first marketed in 1974, it has achieved great success in Europe. The brand-new Passat produced in 1999 is even more popular in the world. After six generations of development, the global sales volume has reached 11.3 million. Let’s take you back to the glorious history of Passat series.

　　The first generation Passat: Dasher(1973 ~1980)

　　
Passat Dasher

　

　　In 1973, the first generation Passat: Dasher was born, which replaced the original 1600 series and landed in North America. At that time, the highest-end model was called Passat TS, which was equipped with a 1.5-liter 85-horsepower four-cylinder engine and adopted a front-wheel drive mode. 0-100 km/h takes only 12 seconds, the top speed can reach 169 km/h, and 4.55 liters of oil can travel 38 kilometers, which was considered fuel-efficient at that time.

　　In the autumn of 1977, Dasher introduced a big change, especially the valve seat of the engine was strengthened, so that it could use unleaded gasoline fuel.

　　Passat B2.Quantum/Santana (1980 ~1988)

Passat B2:Santana

　

　　In 1980, the second-generation Passat B2.Quantum/Santana replaced Dasher, which was longer, wider and had more interior space than the previous generation. There are four engines to choose from, including a 1.6-liter diesel engine, 1.3-liter and 1.6-liter four-cylinder engines, and a top-class 115-horsepower five-cylinder engine.

　　In China, the cars produced became the main models in the early China automobile market.

　　Passat B3 (1988 ~1995)

Passat B3

　　In 1988, Volkswagen introduced the third generation Passat (B3) to the world. There is no front air intake grille, which is the most prominent feature in its appearance. Passat B3 is equipped with a 2.0-liter 16-valve engine, with 134 horsepower and 180 Nm of torque. It takes nearly 10 seconds for 0-100 km/h, and the top speed can reach 201 km/h.. Although B3 has some unique configurations, such as adjustable rear seats, compared with its Japanese and American rivals, its sales volume is still unsatisfactory.

　　In 1991, Volkswagen’s first Passat equipped with V6 engine rolled off the assembly line. A maximum of 172 horsepower can accelerate B3 from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 8 seconds.

　　In 1996, Shanghai Volkswagen and Brazil Volkswagen jointly developed Santana 2000 based on B3 and Santana 3000 developed by Shanghai Volkswagen on the basis of Santana 2000.

　　Passat B4 (1995 ~1996)

　　

Passat B4

　

　　In 1995, Volkswagen redesigned Passat and introduced Passat B4 series. Standard configuration includes a 2.0-liter 8-valve four-cylinder engine. The GLX model still uses a 2.8-liter engine. The former takes about 10 seconds to accelerate at 0-100 km/h, while the latter can be completed in 8 seconds. Another surprise is that B4 installed seat belts for drivers and passengers in the front row. But also restores the sense of movement. The standard configuration of B4 includes: power window, locking mechanism, electric heating rearview mirror, FM/AM cassette player, 8 speakers and CFC air conditioner.

　　Passat B4 was briefly produced by, and Chinese people basically became familiar with Passat series from this car.

　　Passat B5(1996 ~2005)

Passat B5

　　Passat B5′ s basic GLS is powered by a 1.8-liter engine. Soon Volkswagen introduced GLX and GLS V6 models that matched the 30-valve V6 engine. B5 uses the same platform technology as A6, and even the engine shares 1.8T I4 and V6 30V models with Audi. The front suspension adopts multi-link mode, and the rear suspension uses torsion beam, which effectively reduces. B5 standard configuration includes driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags, power windows, electric rearview mirrors, FM/AM cassette player, 8 speakers and CFC air conditioner. , electrically heated seat, 5-speed Tiptronic is optional. Volkswagen’s unique four-wheel drive technology has been adopted in GLX and GLS V6 models matching V6 30 valve engines.

　

　　In 1999, Volkswagen introduced Passat with red and blue background lights. It used a 1.8-liter engine with a 5-speed transmission, which was powerful and could produce 190-200 horsepower at most.

　　In 2000, Passat B5 produced by Shanghai Volkswagen was officially put into China market, which was newly developed according to China’s laws and regulations, road conditions and China users’ aesthetic tendency and use requirements. The prototype B5 was lengthened by 77mm, and its spacious figure made Passat more suitable for the domestic commercial vehicle market. Become a high-end product in domestic cars. And in 2006-2007, B5 was further improved, and some unnecessary configurations were subtracted while it was deeply localized, and this time it was transformed into B5 FMK internally. Shanghai Volkswagen greatly improved Passat B5 and adopted an alias: Lingyu. It is also nicknamed Passat B5.5. The internal name of Volkswagen is B5GP. Later, in order to meet the requirements of CNCAP, the seat belt configuration was specially optimized. The front co-pilot added a seat belt reminder function, and both the main co-pilot and the co-pilot provided the passenger perception function and used it as the input to confirm the airbag explosion together with the seat belt wearing signal. Now the new field of Shanghai Volkswagen PASSAT is also a derivative model based on this platform.

　　Passat B6 (2005 ~2011)

　　In 2005, Passat B6 was put on the market, and Volkswagen changed Passat’s sedate modeling concept since ancient times, and appropriately added sports elements. In 2006, Passat B6 was officially listed overseas. The production of FAW-Volkswagen in China is called Magotan. In 2007, China version of Passat B6— — Magotan is put on the market.

　　
Passat B6

The overall dimensions of the new Passat B6 are appropriately increased compared with the old B5, with a length of 4.77m, a width of 1.82m and a height of 1.47m, which are 62mm, 74mm and 10mm more than the previous Passat models respectively. Its wheelbase is 2.71 meters, which is 6 mm longer than the previous one. The trunk volume is 565 liters (90 liters more than the previous paragraph). The body stiffness is 57% higher than that of its predecessor.

Diesel engine: the output power reaches 77kw/105PS, 103kW/140PS or 125kW/170PS. Particulate filter will be gradually introduced into diesel engine models. Gasoline engine models can be equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, while two more powerful gasoline engine models are assembled. 4MOTION four-wheel drive technology will also be adopted in future models. The domestic version uses 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines.

　　Passat B7 (available since B7(2011)　　

Passat B7

　

　　Volkswagen’s new generation Passat (Passat B7) will officially land in the China market in July 2011. The body of the new Passat B7 will be redesigned, but some designs of the current models will still be used to reduce the manufacturing cost, such as the shape of the roof. In order to ensure the status of high-end models, the new Passat B7 is expected to be equipped with reversing images, adaptive cruise control and induction headlights.

　　In terms of power, Passat B7 will have a variety of gasoline or diesel engines with a displacement of 1.2-2.0L, including 1.2TSI, 1.4TSI, 1.8TSI, 2.0TSI and 3.2V6, etc. The maximum output of 1.2TSI engine is 105 horsepower, which will replace 1.6L engine.

Recently, Deep Blue G318, the first off-road SUV of Deep Blue Auto, was officially launched, which quickly attracted the attention of consumers. According to the official data of Deep Blue Auto, the order of Deep Blue G318 exceeded 10,000 in 70 hours and reached 14,126 in 5 days.

This order data is hot. You should know that the dark blue G318 is a smaller off-road SUV, and it is remarkable to get such an order.

Deep blue car isAs a holding subsidiary, Deep Blue brand is positioned in the mid-range new energy vehicle market.Before G318, Deep Blue Automobile had successively launched the middle-class car Deep Blue SL03 and the middle-class SUV Deep Blue S7, but neither of these two models became the explosion of monthly sales exceeding 10,000.

How long can consumers’ enthusiasm for paying for the hot G318 this time? Can it help Deep Blue achieve sales breakthrough?

Extended-range off-road SUV, starting at less than 180 thousand

A few years ago, when the concept of new consumption was hot, some founders shouted that "all industries are worth doing again". In the new energy vehicle market in recent years, the phenomenon that "all models are worth doing again with hybrid (including extended range)" is happening.

In addition to A00 and A0 class cars below 100,000 yuan, which are still pure electric home, there are hybrid and extended-range models with excellent market performance in the automobile market of 100,000-500,000 yuan. Even the niche off-road SUV track has begun to appear frequently with hybrid and extended-range vehicles.

For example, Equation Panther 5, Tank 400, Tank 500, Tank 700 and Haval Raptors all have hybrid models, and looking up at U8, Polar Stone 01 and Warrior 917 are all extended-range models.

The recently launched Deep Blue G318 is also an extended-range off-road SUV, with an order volume exceeding 14,000 units within 5 days.

Deep Blue G318 is the first off-road SUV of Deep Blue Automobile, which was officially launched on June 13th. The car has launched a total of six models, and the price range of three two-wheel drive models is 17.59-19.99 million yuan. Among the three four-wheel drive models, the four-wheel drive comfort version and the four-wheel drive suspension version are priced at 199,900 yuan and 229,900 yuan respectively; The top-of-the-line worry-free version is priced at 318,000 yuan, and the pre-sale is expected to start in early 2025.

The dark blue G318 model is positioned as a hard-core SUV with a tough appearance. In terms of power, it is equipped with the super extended range 2.0 system under the new Blue Whale power platform, which consists of a 1.5T range finder and a high-performance motor, and the fuel consumption of power feed is as low as 6.1L/100km. The battery capacity of the entry-level two-drive standard version is small, and the pure electric cruising range (under CLTC working condition) is 77km, so it does not have fast charging function. Other models have a pure electric cruising range of 172km-190km, with fast charging function.

Among the five scheduled start-up models, three two-wheel drive models focus on daily mode. The two four-wheel drive models are mainly off-road, with terrain modes such as wading, snow, rugged terrain, mud and sand. They can turn around in situ and crawl off-road. They are equipped with a special central stepless differential lock for off-road, a magnetic mechanical differential lock for rear axle and a wading radar, with a 1.6T qualification towing hook. Except for the entry-level two-wheel drive standard version, all other models have V2V fast discharge function.

In terms of intelligent driving, all five models have L2-level auxiliary driving function, which can realize speed limit recognition, lane keeping assistance, AEB automatic emergency braking and other functions, among which two-wheel drive suspension and four-wheel drive suspension are higher in configuration, with blind spot monitoring, lane changing assistance, reversing lateral emergency braking and other functions.

After the launch of this off-road SUV in deep blue, the order performance is very hot. Can this hard-core off-road SUV drive the sales of deep blue cars to increase?

"Dark Horse" dark blue car, sales go high and low.

With the accelerated transformation in recent years, three smart electric brands, Aouita, Deep Blue Auto and Changan Qiyuan, have been formed under the Changan Automobile System. Among them, Aouita focuses on the high-end market, by Changan Automobile,Cooperate with Huawei. Deep Blue Automobile is a holding subsidiary of Changan Automobile, focusing on the mid-to-high-end market and targeting younger groups. Changan Qiyuan belongs to a brand-new product sequence of Changan Automobile, which is aimed at more mainstream consumers.

As you can see,Deep blue automobile is responsible for the high-end transformation of Changan Automobile. However, since the first car went on the market, the sales of deep blue cars have appeared "high opening and low going".

Deep Blue Automobile was established in April 2022. Three months later, the first strategic model SL03 was released. The entry-level extended-range model was priced at 168,900 yuan, and the entry-level pure electric model was priced at 183,900 yuan. After 33 minutes of listing, the order exceeded 10,000 yuan.In December, 2022, Deep Blue Auto delivered over 10,000 yuan in a single month, which was the fastest electric vehicle brand to deliver over 10,000 yuan, and became a "dark horse in the new energy automobile industry".

Under the strong performance of Deep Blue SL03, Deep Blue Auto has set a sales target of 400,000 vehicles for 2023. However, after entering 2023, the sales volume of Deep Blue SL03 began to decline, and the delivery volume in May 2023 was 7021 vehicles.

On June 25th, 2023, the second strategic model S7 of Deep Blue was launched. With the help of the two models, the sales performance of Deep Blue brand in the second half of 2023 was excellent, and the delivery peak of 18,338 vehicles was created in December.However, throughout 2023, the dark blue brand delivered a total of 136,900 vehicles, only completing one-third of the sales target.

At the end of 2023, the CEO of Deep Blue Automobile announced that the global sales target of Deep Blue Team in 2024 was set at 450,000 vehicles. But then, Changan Automobile announced the sales target of the group, and finally set the annual sales target of Deep Blue Automobile at 280,000 vehicles.

In 2024, the overall delivery volume of Deep Blue brand declined. In the first five months, 67,200 vehicles were delivered, only about 24% of the sales target was achieved.

In the past three months, the retail sales of Deep Blue SL03 were 4,311, 4,524 and 5,303 respectively, and the retail sales of Deep Blue S7 were 5,705, 5,492 and 5,977 respectively. In the sales rankings of medium-sized cars and medium-sized SUVs, the two models of Deep Blue SL03 and Deep Blue S7 are both ranked around 15th.

In the past two years, Deep Blue has suffered a large loss. According to Changan Automobile Annual Report, in 2022, the revenue of Deep Blue Automobile, formerly known as Chongqing Changan New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., was 15.678 billion yuan and its net profit was-3.197 billion yuan. In 2023, the revenue of Deep Blue Automobile increased to 25.883 billion yuan and the net profit was-2.999 billion yuan.In two years, the accumulated loss of Deep Blue Automobile exceeded 6 billion yuan.

Hard-core cross-country, is Deep Blue on the right track?

Deep blue G318 orders are hot, largely because of its high cost performance.

Generally speaking, off-road vehicles need larger ones.Therefore, fuel vehicles are often used, and even diesel is chosen as the power type. However, the high fuel consumption brought by high power, at the same time, most off-road SUV consumers are not heavy off-road enthusiasts, and the use scenarios are mostly daily mode. "Light off-road" and "urban off-road" are more common, so the fuel consumption performance of off-road SUVs is even more important.

According to the official information of Deep Blue, the fuel consumption of Deep Blue G318 per 100 kilometers is 6L, while the fuel consumption of Equation Leopard 5, Haval Raptor and Tank 400 all exceeds 7L.

In addition, due to the larger size and the load-bearing body, the interior space of the dark blue G318 is larger, and the trunk space reaches 818L. At the same time, with non-loaded body and air suspension, Deep Blue G318 is more comfortable in driving and rear row.

However, although the orders for Deep Blue G318 are hot, it is equally challenging to drive Deep Blue to achieve its sales target.

On the one hand, off-road SUV itself is a smaller track, and the market volume is difficult to compare with mainstream models.In March-May this year, the sales volume of Jietu travelers with the best performance of off-road SUVs were 9219, 10049 and 6819 respectively. For example, the sales of star models such as Tank 300 and Haval Dog are only around 5,000-6,000, and the sales of other off-road SUV models are mostly below 4,000.

In this case, the ceiling faced by Deep Blue G318 itself is not high, and it remains to be seen whether it can drive the sales of Deep Blue cars to make a big breakthrough.

On the other hand, Deep Blue G318 is the first off-road SUV of Deep Blue Automobile, and it is also the only off-road SUV of Changan Automobile at present, and its actual competitiveness still needs market verification.At the same time, although Deep Blue G318 has certain advantages, at the price of 100,000-200,000 yuan, G318 still needs to deal with fuel vehicles such as Jetway Traveler, Tank 300 and Haval Dog, as well as new energy vehicles such as iCAR03, Jetway Shanhai T2 and Haval Raptors, and the difficulty of seizing the market can be imagined.

At present, although Deep Blue has failed to continue its high-gloss performance when it was first listed, it has gained a firm foothold in the automobile industry with its superior shape design and strong cost performance. The current deep blue car needs an explosive model to further open its popularity. Whether the deep blue G318 can undertake this important task still needs market verification.

　　On the stage of the Spring Festival Evening in February 2024, the creative program "Nianjin" made a stunning appearance. Four performers were dressed in Hanfu in the Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties.

"Chang Shana said that she climbed into the cave on the centipede ladder every day, and when the morning sunlight came in directly, she lit up the colorful walls, and she began to paint cheerfully. In the desert, she practiced."I have no academic qualifications in the first stage of my artistic life.."
