Dangerous NIO, fishing where there are no fish, high-end pure electricity is passive water

On June 1, NIO quietly announced its May sales, and the share price fell by 0.60%. This was another decline after the share price of the second-generation ES6 fell by 9% on the day of listing. By June 5, the total market value had been less than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars.

From the head of sales/market value to the tail of new car makers, NIO only took 2-3 years.

The market value is less than half of Li Auto, which makes NIO, which lost 14.40 billion yuan last year and 44.60 billion in 5 years, on the verge of difficulties, and the cumulative loss is more than Tesla’s 15 years of establishment.

In 2022, NIO’s cash will decrease by 10 billion yuan, and as of the beginning of 2023, there will still be 40 billion yuan in cash in the company’s account. At such a "burning money" rate, I wonder how long NIO can support?

Li Bin, chairperson of NIO, actually knows very well. He said in an interview in April this year that,If this year’s work is not good, 24 years will become another 19 years, which means that NIO may be "back" in the ICU again.

After NIO went public on the Nasdaq, it once became the most valuable car company in China, and Li Bin (left) was no exception for a while.

Back in November 2020, NIO’s market value reached 72.84 billion US dollars (about 479.70 billion yuan), making it the highest car company in China in one fell swoop.

This can’t blame NIO’s current stock price, because sales are not awesome! In May this year, NIO only delivered 6,155 vehicles, a decrease of 7.6% month-on-month, ranking second to last among new car-making forces. This is the fourth consecutive month of decline, and it is getting farther and farther from the goal of "Wei 10,000".

The monthly sales of 3 models are about 10,000, and the 7 models are still around the 10,000, so NIO is dubbed "Wei 10,000".

"If NIO still 10,000 sales every month, Qin Lihong (president) and I will have to look for jobs." In early May this year, Li Bin also joked.

Li Bin and Qin Lihong are also very hard, but the high-end pure electric vehicle (above 300,000 especially above 400,000, such as ES6 plus optional super 400,000 yuan) market targeted by NIO is too small.

Regarding the problem of NIO, as the reader’s comment after the DearAuto article hit the nail on the head "Fishing where there are fish, otherwise it will be a dead end. Where there are fish? One is plug-in hybrid including range extension to solve the problem of mileage anxiety. One is to take a trolley within 150,000 to solve the problem of urban traffic, and the family has a second car. Where there are no fish, there are no fish in the more than 300,000 pure electric markets. Whether you are Wei Xiaoli, BYD Great Wall Geely, or Huawei, there are no fish. Wang Chuanfu said well, strategy is the most important, strategy is wrong, wasting money is small, wasted time is priceless."

I seriously suspect that this reader may be a Weilai owner who hates that iron cannot make steel, otherwise he will not be able to see the problem so clearly.

There is no universal standard for high-end pure electricity, which is generally considered to be more than 300,000 yuan, which is equivalent to luxury fuel vehicles.

NIO’s standard is higher – more than 400,000 yuan, and it often posted such forms last year to prove that it is a monopoly in this market.

In August last year, for example, NIO was still relatively popular, occupying the top and second place in the rankings, but the top 10 were imposed on less than 7,000 vehicles, all of which were given to NIO, and NIO could not support such a large company with more than 30,000 people.

Correspondingly, there are only 10,000 people in Ideal and Xiaopeng.

NIO also has an ET5 sedan that is more capable of playing, in the 300,000-400,000 range, the car claims to outsell BMW 3 Series, and the amount of insurance once exceeded 3 Series, but then sales fell rapidly.

In April, BMW sold nearly 12,000 3 Series, but only 4,293 ET5s, proving that the 30-400,000 pure electric market is not so optimistic.

Due to the unresolved issues of charging and battery life, pure electric vehicles are more suitable for small cars as the second scooter in the family, rather than pure electric vehicles such as NIO.

Of course, the popularity of big cars such as the Ideal L8 and D9 also shows that consumers can also pay for high-end big cars, but they are PHEVs.

The high-end is largely reflected in performance. For electric vehicles, improving performance becomes very simple, basically adding batteries and enhancing motors; while the interior is replaced by a large screen, just to see who has a larger screen and higher pixels.

The threshold has suddenly been lowered, which means that it is not as high-end valuable.

The demand for high-end pure electric cars, if there is one, is small. NIO worked hard, but to no avail. After the launch of ES6, ES8 sales plummeted; when ES7 came out, ES6 sales fell again; when ET5 came out, ET7 dropped sharply.

This is not a problem with the NIO family. Even the most powerful pure electric brand, Tesla, saw its million-dollar Model SX sales plunge after Model 3/Y came out.

Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi all performed poorly in the EV market. This is definitely not an accident. It is not that these products themselves are flawed, but that the market positioning is incorrect.

"We also know that high-end pure electric is a point of no return, but we can’t change it, it’s the decision of the global headquarters," a luxury brand head told DearAuto on condition of anonymity.

In addition, after three years of epidemic attacks, consumers are not as rich as manufacturers imagine, this year, no matter how the government at all levels to stimulate, car sales are always tepid.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the per capita disposable income of residents in 2022 was 36,883 yuan; this year, consumers seem to be even more short of money, and even if they have it, they will not dare to spend. The fire in Zibo during the May Day holiday also proved that ordinary people are "short of money", because the cost of going to Zibo is much cheaper than that of Sanya or Lijiang.

One of the reasons why NIO stood out in the early days was that it started early and had a first-mover advantage, which won the favor of the capital markets. The second relied on the ultimate service to create a unique city and build its high-end image. The power exchange model is the core of NIO’s service system, but this core may bring down NIO.

According to industry data, the cost of NIO’s first-generation replacement stations is about 2.50 million-3 million yuan, and the cost of second-generation replacement stations is about 1.50 million yuan (excluding batteries). NIO has established 205 first-generation replacement stations, and the number of second-generation replacement stations is 1,100. In this way, NIO has invested 21.625 billion in replacement stations. Including land rent and operating costs, NIO’s investment in replacement mode has exceeded 10 billion yuan.

In 2023, NIO plans to increase the number of new power stations from 400 to 1,000, with a new investment of 2 billion yuan.

"Kneeling and licking service" has no bottom line, it is difficult to get off the service, and the car owner is also spoiled.

NIO began to do some "tricks" on the service this year, including that the beta version of NOP + Enhanced Pilot Assistance will be switched from free use to paid subscription; the power exchange benefit will be changed from the original 6 times a month to 4 times a month free and no longer send home chargers.

The "backlash" came soon, and NIO’s sales in April and May did not exceed 7,000 units.

After the second-generation ES6 went on sale, ES7 owners quit (thinking that the ES6 was too cheap, affecting the residual value of ES7 used cars) and asked NIO for compensation. The owner replied to Li Bin and said: "My relationship with you is not that close. I am here to negotiate, not to talk."

Li Bin said publicly that this is impossible because he needs to invest in real money.

High-end is the tone of NIO electric vehicles. Li Bin has repeatedly emphasized that "NIO will not offer low-end vehicles, nor will it reduce prices."

But the auto industry is an industry that pays attention to scale. Li Bin is very clear in his heart, "In the long run, the sales of 2 million cars a year by car companies are the line of life and death. If you can’t see the hope of sales to this line, I think it will be difficult."

For NIO, the top priority is to sell more cars and cut costs to survive.

Due to NIO’s high-end attributes limiting its sales scale, its second brand, Alpine, and even its third brand, Firefly, are expected to be used primarily for impulse.

Let’s not say that multi-brand operation is a huge pit, and there are few successful precedents for Chinese and foreign automakers.

For NIO, going down is more difficult because it faces stronger competitors. In addition, mid- to low-end brands have higher cost requirements, which is not good at NIO.

According to NIO’s plan, the Alps brand will mainly target the price range of 20-300,000 yuan. And it is expected that products will be launched in 2024.

But competitors in this price range include BYD, Tesla, Extreme Krypton, Wei Brand, Deep Blue, and a large number of joint-venture electric vehicles.

Firefly is NIO’s car brand, which will be launched in Europe at that time, and is expected to be in the price range of 10-200,000 yuan.

The competition in this market is even more intense in China. Not only are there a bunch of pure electric vehicles including Aian and BYD, but also a large number of plug-in hybrid models. Wuling is also a mythical existence. (Text | DA Bin)

4. Chip supply chain organizations are calling on the new US government to review the ban on chip exports to China

In a January 25 letter to the U.S. Department of Commerce, SEMI, a semiconductor supply chain industry group that represents global semiconductor equipment manufacturers and equipment manufacturers, called on the new administration to review Trump’s August policy on Chinese chip export controls and urged the incoming U.S. Commerce Secretary to strengthen alliances with global competitive markets.

SEMI said in the letter that the previous administration’s approach to unilateral rules on chip exports was not effective, causing unnecessary harm to U.S. industries and vulnerable to retaliation by U.S. exporters.

The SEMI report also shows that China is rapidly developing its chip manufacturing capabilities. In 2012, China ranked only fifth in global IC wafer capacity, but it surpassed the United States and Japan in 2018 and 2019 to rank third, the organization said. SEMI called the trend "very noteworthy." SEMI statistics show that China’s IC wafer capacity has continued to grow since 2019, increasing by 14% in 2019 and 21% in 2020, and is expected to grow by at least 17% in 2021.

On January 24, Apple’s leading supply chain company, Lixun Precision, disclosed the progress of the US International Trade Commission’s 337 investigation against the company, and said that the investigation will not have a material impact on the current production and operation. The investigation began on December 18, 2020, and was filed by Amphenol Corporation of the United States to the US International Trade Commission. The US Amphenol company, which has a partial competitive relationship with Lixun Precision, has experienced weak performance growth in recent years in the context of the market downturn. Gartner analysts said that "if the investigation finds that the company has indeed violated relevant laws, it will be sanctioned, and in addition to the risk of price increases, it may also face the risk of being unable to enter the United States."

MIIT responded to the matter on the afternoon of January 26, firmly protecting intellectual property rights, but also opposing abuse of rights and bullying that suppresses normal business competition.

7, the novel coronavirus real 3D images came out

For the first time, an international team, including Chinese researchers, has "captured" a 3D image of a novel coronavirus. On the nanoscale image, the novel coronavirus, with an average diameter of less than 100 nanometers, looks like a strange planet with freely swinging spike protein "tentacles" on its surface. Inside the "planet", ultra-long RNA chains are densely wrapped around an orderly arrangement of ribonucleoprotein complexes. On January 21, this novel coronavirus high definition popular science image was released by the team of Li Sai Laboratory of the School of Life Sciences of Tsinghua University and the Austrian Nanographics Company and Ivan Viola of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia.

This achievement is also inseparable from the cooperation with Academician Li Lanjuan’s research group of the State Key Laboratory of Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious Diseases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. The collaborative research results were published in the online edition of the American journal Cell on September 15 last year. This is the scientific basis for the latest 3D virus science imaging.

Yang Mi Liu Kaiwei parted ways, choosing a divorce time to protect Xiao Nuomi


1905 movie network news On the evening of December 22, Jiaxing Media, the brokerage company to which Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei belong, issued a statement announcing that Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei had signed an agreement in 2018 to peacefully break up and end their marriage.


In the statement, it also specifically stated that "although they will no longer live together as husband and wife, the two will also take care of and raise the children together as relatives in the future." To put an end to the small glutinous rice issue that the majority of netizens are concerned about.


In 2011, Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei fell in love for the filming of the TV series "Ruyi". In 2012, the two admitted to their relationship on Weibo. On January 8, 2014, Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei held a wedding ceremony in Bali; on January 19 of the same year, Liu Kaiwei confirmed that Yang Mi was more than three months pregnant. On June 1, 2014, Yang Mi gave birth to her daughter "Xiao Nuomi" in Hong Kong.


In the two years after their marriage, Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei interacted frequently, and the two often forwarded and interacted sweetly with each other on Weibo. But since 2016, the interaction between the two sides on Weibo has become less and less. In the past two or three years, both of them have produced a lot of new works, but the two sides have almost never promoted each other. On December 3, 2015, Liu Kaiwei forwarded Yang Mi’s new works for the last time. And at the end of 2015, it was when Liu Kaiwei and Yang Mi reported that their marriage was changing.


Until 2018, the two’s Weibo almost stopped interacting. The last time Liu Kaiwei interacted with Yang Mi on Weibo was on April 12, 2018. Yang Mi was caught in a public welfare scam, and Liu Kaiwei forwarded the rumor-refuting article and supported Yang Mi.


And according to an online friend, "It has been rumored for so long, why did Liu Kaiwei and Yang Mi choose to announce the divorce statement today? Because schools in Hong Kong will give students a Christmas holiday from December 22, and the holiday time is not short. In order to protect Xiao Nuomi from being chased by the media, the two of them advised everyone not to disturb Xiao Nuomi."

As of December 31, 2023, Hengda Automobile has delivered more than 1389 vehicles.

Hengda Automobile announced on January 8 that Liu Yongzhuo, the executive director of the company, has been detained according to law for suspected illegal crimes. In addition, Hengda Hengchi Automobile (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. recently added three pieces of information about the person being executed, with a total target of 98 million yuan.

The person in charge of media relations of Hengchi Automobile also told reporters that he usually does not go to the company, does not connect with the media, and no one hands over the job. "Now there are no people in the brand department of Hengchi."

"China Star Jump" helps diving rookie counterattack professional players


Click to watch more video highlights of Star Jump > >



Killer took off handstand.



Xing Aowei takes off.



Gao Hu’s Flying Swallow Action


  Zhejiang Satellite TV’s large-scale charity star diving reality show "China Star Jump", since last week’s transfer to the semi-finals of the master’s tricks, the overall difficulty of the players’ jumping has improved, and the difficulty of the movements has erupted collectively. Especially in Gao Hu and Killer, two "high-platform kings" jumped out of the amazing professional-level movements. Killer took out the difficult movement of 611A handstand and somersaulted forward for half a week in the first jump, and then challenged the highest difficulty 202A of the 10-meter platform since the launch of the diving program, while Gao Hu 302C’s perfect jump of reflexively somersaulted and hugged her knees for one week, which was praised by Olympic champion Li Na, a substitute judge, as "the height that professional athletes can only reach after practicing for one year". This week’s second semi-final is still full of experts, especially Xing Aowei, the Olympic gymnastics champion of cross-border diving, who created a dazzling 720-degree somersault and a 180-degree twist against the sky in the preliminary round. The semi-final will continue to carry forward the spirit of innovation and threatened to "jump the diving action of the next Olympic Games" if he advanced to the final.


  Killer, Xing Aowei and Gao Hu, who are also non-professional divers, have turned from inexperienced diving novices to almost professional ones. Their respective advantages of "being in harmony with the right time and the right people" are prominent, which is an important weight for their successful breakthrough and the secret behind their successful counterattack.


  Location: Gao Hu grew up facing the sea, and his childhood "plunge" warmed up and dived.


  Gao Hu is the "king of the platform" among the contestants. He not only won the 10m platform at the fastest speed in training, but also was the first person in the competition. In addition to the courage and boldness of "being too high to be happy", Gao Hu showed an amazing and perfect swallow in the preliminary round, and the difficulty of the action was also upgraded all the way. Especially in the last semi-final, Gao Hu 302C made a perfect jump by doing a reverse somersault and holding her knees for a week. Even Olympic champion judge Li Na praised this as "the height that professional players can only reach after practicing for one year". He also relied on this difficult and perfect jump to sit firmly on the spot and advance directly to the final without any suspense.


  The reason why Gao Hu achieved such amazing diving attainments in a short time can be said to be due to the "geographical advantage" occupied since childhood. He is a native of Qingdao, and the urban environment surrounded by the sea on three sides gives Gao Hu a unique advantage before diving. According to Gao Hu himself, "I grew up facing the sea, and I have a deep plot about water. My whole family likes swimming very much, so I have been moving freely in the water since I was three or four years old". According to Gao Hu’s recollection, there are many hills and rocks in his hometown near Qingdao. When he was a child, he was bold. He often avoided his parents’ attention with his friends and jumped from the rocks to the water for excitement. Although the equipment was rudimentary and there was no technical content, his childhood experience was similar to that of today’s diving, especially because he learned Gao Hu’s boldness. It is no wonder that he was able to walk calmly on the 10-meter platform on the first day of training. He once said that "I am not afraid of heights at all and like to challenge the limits." Gao Hu, who has excellent water quality, also revealed that he had passed the diving certificate when he traveled to Palau.


  In addition, Gao Hu is also a sportsman. He likes to play volleyball since he was a child. He is the leader of the school volleyball team. He has participated in many municipal competitions with the team, and volleyball has also trained Gao Hu’s good arm strength.


  Timing: Killer was born with good gene dance skills and was born with boldness.


  Killer has been called "Zhang Dadan" since she entered the competition. In the preliminary competition, she was the first woman on the 10m platform, which was as famous as Gao Hu. In the semi-finals, she was even more powerful, with two consecutive jumps. The first jump of 611A turned upside down for half a week, becoming the first woman to use platform handstand, while the second jump of 202A turned backwards for a week, which was the highest difficulty since the diving program was launched.


  The reason why Killer dives so well can be said that she won at the starting line because of her favorable weather and natural genes. Killer’s mother is a dance teacher, and her innate motor genes, coupled with the super-high physical flexibility of practicing dance since childhood, give her obvious advantages in diving. In addition, Killer, who is bold by nature, also said that he was particularly love the water and liked swimming since childhood. This boldness surprised everyone when Killer walked into the diving hall for the first time, and immediately won the 10m platform, giving the competitors a modest "duel". In a daily training, the diving hall was suddenly cut off due to an accident, and it was suddenly plunged into darkness. At that time, the staff and players present, especially the girls, screamed with fear and scrambled to climb ashore from the water. At that time, Killer, who was on the shore, jumped into the water and swam in the dark diving hall, exclaiming that "such an opportunity is too rare, swimming in the dark is very exciting", which attracted Gao Hu present to be outdone and jumped into the water.


  People and Peace: Coach Xing Aowei and the judges all found that small gymnastics and diving are connected.


  As the Olympic champion of gymnastics, Xing Aowei still can’t hide the champion’s potential in cross-border diving. In addition to his amazing jump in the preliminary round, he let the audience see the high platform handstand for the first time, and even created a dazzling "anti-heaven" action in the second jump: 720-degree somersault and 180-degree turn, which caused a full house of applause. This action is even more created by Xing Aowei. In the semi-finals, he said that he would continue to carry forward the spirit of innovation, and he confidently threatened to "jump the diving action of the next Olympic Games" if he could advance to the final.


  Xing Aowei has the highest starting line among all the players. As a gymnast of the national gymnastics team and an Olympic gold medal champion, he stood out among all the players from the first day of training. The national diving team and the gymnastics team are veritable neighbors. They used to practice in the same training hall. Therefore, many national diving team members and Xing Aowei have been good friends since childhood, including Li Na, the world diving champion who is the coach in this competition. Therefore, Xing Aowei has no pressure and a sense of formality in the training process. Although gymnastics and diving are two completely different sports, they have a lot in common, especially turning and tumbling, which is why Li Xiaopeng of Prince of gymnastics was specially invited to the jury, and Li Xiaopeng’s position was to comment on diving from a semi-professional perspective. Xing Aowei and Li Xiaopeng are both Olympic champions. Since Li Xiaopeng can be a judge, it can be seen that Xing Aowei’s starting line is high, and their teammates, especially good brothers, let him score in the judges’ scoring.
