Okay, without further ado, Brother Xiaodao is here to chat with you about the latest happenings in the cycling industry this week.
NIO was shorted, and its market value increased by 45 billion yuan per day
NIO was caught for "swiping votes"? On the evening of June 28, Beijing time, Grizzly Research, a well-known foreign short-selling organization, released a report stating that NIO increased revenue and net profit margin by playing accounting games to achieve market goals.
The most critical thing about Weilai being shorted is that Wuhan Battery Assets Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Weineng") is an unrelated party jointly established by Weilai, CATL, and other institutions. The report stated that Weineng has created nearly US$1 billion in false revenue for Weilai, and that at least 60% of Weilai's profit growth in fiscal year 2021 was contributed by Weineng.
The reason for the establishment of Weneng is based on Weilai's battery replacement model, that is, users do not need to purchase battery packs, but only need to rent them according to their needs and pay monthly fees. Weneng is a third party that provides battery rental services. According to the report, it is precisely because of the existence of Weineng that Weilai has created a third party that is willing to over-purchase batteries. It has advanced users’ battery subscription fees for the next seven years, included them in the annual report in one go, and removed the batteries from the balance sheet. Impairment charges.

Although there is still controversy in the industry about whether NIO has inflated its revenue. However, Weilai’s performance decline is an obvious fact. According to the financial report for the first quarter of this year, NIO lost 1.78 billion yuan in the first quarter, a year-on-year increase of 295.5% from the 450 million yuan in the same period last year. This is also the real reason why Weilai suffered from short selling. If its performance is excellent, it will not be a mistake to split the business and beautify it. In the long run, NIO's solution to short selling should ultimately be directed at improving the company's performance.
Huawei and Chery may join forces to build cars to create a high-end brand
Huawei Smart Car Selection has added another general! Recently, there is news that Huawei and Chery may join forces. The two parties plan to create a high-end brand that will be positioned higher than Chery's existing mid-to-high-end brand Xingtu. It is reported that this high-end brand has planned at least 5 cars, with prices ranging from 300,000 yuan to 400,000 yuan, and is expected to be released in the second half of next year.
From Huawei's perspective, this move is an important step for Huawei to expand its smart car selection business. The ultimate goal is to build its own industry territory. Although Huawei has always emphasized that it does not build cars, but only provides services, its frequent actions can not help but see Huawei's strong offensive momentum in the automotive industry.
For Chery, it regards its cooperation with Huawei as a springboard for brand improvement. Currently, Chery's main sales models are the Ant , Little Ant and Arrizo e, of which the A0-class electric vehicle Little Ant accounts for 70% of its sales. If this high-end brand is established, it will become an important addition to its product line.
-lane cars, please note:
After the wave of automobile intelligence has swept across, car manufacturing is no longer just a matter of the car companies themselves, and cross-border cooperation has become an increasingly common phenomenon. With technology sharing and learning from each other's strengths, this kind of cooperation is a good thing for both Huawei and Chery. It is worth noting that car companies should avoid technological dependence and maintain relative independence during cooperation. On the basis of equality and progress, this kind of cross-border cooperation will be smoother and more successful.
Volkswagen's first electric car was released, targeting the Chinese market
On June 27, the Volkswagen ID. AERO concept car made its global debut in China in the form of cloud release. The new car is the first pure electric sedan launched by Volkswagen. Once launched, the industry has labeled it "electric Passat".
ID. The appearance of AERO is eye-catching. The coupe -style fastback shape and the simple luminous touch-hidden door handles bring the novelty level closer to that of mainstream new power car companies. In terms of power, the new car’s battery has a net capacity of 77kWh and a cruising range of 620km under WLTP conditions.
It is worth mentioning that this may be the shortest and worst mandarin press conference in history. The press conference was hosted by Feng Sihan, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand China . The 13-minute press conference was entirely delivered in Chinese. According to reports, the new car is expected to be launched first in the domestic market in the second half of next year, and then land in the North American and European markets. First launched in China and explained in Chinese, it is evident that the public attaches great importance to the Chinese market!

In the era of fuel vehicles, Volkswagen has occupied the streets and alleys in China, ranking first in sales all year round. Nowadays, with the acceleration of vehicle electrification and intelligence, it is imperative for Volkswagen to carry out strategic transformation if it wants to maintain its market share in China. This time, the rhythmic expansion of the ID series and the focus on the Chinese market reflect the turning steps of this "elephant" of fuel vehicles.

Previously, He Xiaopeng experienced the urban NGP (Intelligent Navigation Assisted Driving) engineering version. The video showed that Xiaopeng NGP achieved a takeover of 17KM. However, there was also a problem of driving too cautiously and even stopping directly when dealing with large vehicles driving around. How G9 will perform remains to be seen.
html Please note that for 4-lane vehicles:
Xiaopeng G9 and Ideal L9 can be said to have met on a narrow road. They are both brand-new flagships to be launched by their respective brands, both are large-size SUVs, both belong to the "9" generation, and have similar appearance design elements... Ideal The popularity of L9 has put some pressure on Xpeng . In the midst of a life-and-death battle, if the G9 cannot turn over Xiaopeng, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the future new energy battlefield with just the P7 as a single hit.
