Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Google is also developing an operating system for the era of the Internet of Everything. It may not be optimistic about the business model, so its support has not been strong. Of course, it may also be due to competition among internal teams. Google's Fuchsia OS has always been a big hit but little rain.

Honor's Kunlun system is based on Android AOSP, so the new self-developed system needs to be renamed and cut with Android, or to make it easier for other domestic partners to use it without any barriers.

As for the business model of this new system, it’s really hard to say. Honor’s HMS and app store have basically taken shape in China and have already made stable profits. How about starting anew to subvert itself? Qu Li does have the courage, but why does he earn tens of billions a year?

In April, Qu Li entered Fujian Province and only came to Gan Province at the beginning of the Beijin Auto Show. Along the way, he stopped and stopped. In addition to poverty alleviation, scenes of mountains and villages, and scenery from various places, Qu Li returned to his old business, photography, and short videos. The shots are very smooth, every small ditch has its own unique charm, and the Honor drone is very flexible in Qu Li's hands.

Speaking of Honor drones, in order to avoid risks, they launched the dual-brand Segway. This is a self-balancing car brand they acquired a long time ago. It covers all grades of high, high, and low, and has entered the field of professional drones, including their action cameras. have become the first in the industry.

This is due to the Pentax camera team in Japan. When the general environment deteriorated, they found many high-quality engineers and cultivated many optical elites in the country.

The Haowei OV acquired by Huaguan once again broke into the high-end CMOS sensor field occupied by Sony and Samsung, confirming its three-legged status, which is somewhat related to Honor's large investment in imaging.

Howe's sensors have also entered the fields of video surveillance, driving recorders, car cameras, etc., and have done a lot of research and development to develop RYYB super-sensitive sensors, which absorb more light under the same lighting conditions, increase brightness, and achieve better results. The effect of shooting in low light environment. Later, Tesla and Chrysanthemum Factory chose the yellowish video.

The advanced assisted driving system of his Lantu Qibing uses a camera equipped with this kind of sensor, so he no longer has to worry about being tampered with at night.

At this Beijin Auto Show, CMOS Geometry is of course one of the protagonists and is ranked in the C position. The overseas price of the Geometry Y6 starts at US$49,000 and the domestic price starts at US$328,000. This is the basic model, long-range version and high performance. Versions are priced at US$55,000 and US$368,000.

It’s basically the same as the Tesla Model 3. Of course, it’s not the $35,000 price they paid last year. That’s ridiculous. If tariffs are added, the price of the Y6 overseas, especially in the United States, will definitely exceed that of Tesla.

As for the domestic price, the final price of the long-range version dropped to 298,000 in subsidized cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. This price will be competitive in five years, let alone in 2018. It is similar to the BMW 5 in the United States and exceeds the BMW 3 in China.

Qu Li is still a little worried if he really wants to challenge these luxury car brands. After all, a car logo is sometimes worth a lot of money. Qiancheng Geometry has an X-shaped logo, but there are still differences between pure electric, fuel and plug-in hybrid, such as fuel The corners of the car are relatively straight, and the four "wings" are connected together. The left and right wings of the plug-in hybrid are connected together, while the four wings of the pure electric are separate and relatively rounded.

The Lantu Qibing is priced between 218,000 and 288,000, and is divided into two versions: off-road and urban. The price difference is mainly due to different power configurations, Yunhu C, intelligence and comfort, and Mitsubishi's 4j12 engine is an improved model. Increased fuel consumption and enhanced power, the maximum horsepower reaches 210. The self-developed 2.0T turbocharged engine reaches 228 horsepower.

It has many more choices than the Tank 300. The reason why it dares to do this is of course because of the existence of the super factory, where cars with different configurations can be produced on the same production line. Moreover, their prices are not low, their profit margins are high, and they are very cost-effective.

The compact Lantu Starlight MPV is priced at 119,800 to 159,800, which is similar to the price of the later GAC Trumpchi M6. Although Qu Li didn't think there was any future for fuel-powered MPVs, he didn't stop it. The company had to keep trying and making mistakes anyway. They now have more and more models, and are designing a mid-sized sedan to compete with the Toyota Corolla, and a mid-sized SUV equipped with Yunhu C and priced at around 250,000.

Qu Li gave up his initial plan to produce only nine fuel-powered vehicles. The new mid-sized sedans and SUVs will abandon the cost-effectiveness concept and focus on technology, fashion, sports, comfort and safety, and prioritize quality. The key is to achieve brand upgrades. In the future, fuel-powered vehicles may become luxury goods. , energy-saving and fuel-saving Japanese cars are destined to be eliminated, and high-performance fuel vehicles are the future.

To put it bluntly, these two mid-level sedans and SUVs are their necessities. It doesn’t matter if they fail. They will iterate quickly based on market response. If it doesn’t work, they will accelerate electrification.

Starting from New Year's Day, the global booking volume of Geometry Y6 has increased from zero to more than 100,000 units in more than 100 days. Fortunately, the overseas booking volume even exceeds that in China. US$50,000 is within the reach of many consumers in Europe and the United States. Inside.

However, Tesla Model 3 seems to have 500,000 pre-orders, which is really far ahead.

Anyway, Tesla has not entered the Chinese market. By importing it, the price is very impressive, and it has no leading advantage over Geometry G9/Y9. There is sales in China, but it is negligible.

Geometry Y6 has become the absolute protagonist of the Beijin Auto Show. This car is one of the most technologically advanced pure electric vehicles in the world, including Xingsha's Super Factory 2.0, which is Geometry's technological masterpiece.

In the past few days of the auto show, in addition to the Geometry Y6, there is also the hot spot of Lantu Qibing. Qu Li drove this car from Huxiang, through Guigui, and into Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi. The journey was bumpy without any problems. Next, he would pass through Hui Province, Hubei Province, the Central Plains, Shanxi, and Shaanxi to Mengjiang. Go around half of China.

This off-road vehicle, priced at more than 200,000 yuan, not only has high configuration, but also has a domineering appearance and high-quality design, completely getting rid of the image of cheap cars in the past. Moreover, Qiancheng Geometry originally started out as an SUV, including Mitsubishi Motors, which Qiancheng Geometry has a stake in, are all experts in this field. Off-road vehicles are a subcategory of SUVs, and consumers can subconsciously accept its professional positioning for this off-road vehicle.

Consumer recognition is half the battle for this product. Unfortunately, Geometry G9/Y9 sales seem to be stabilizing and there seems to be no growth compared with last year. Not only that, Qiancheng CS6/CS8, including the plus version, after hitting a new high last year, sales this year began to continue to decline.

The sales volume of Lantu Fuguang sedan is also not good, with monthly sales falling below 20,000. Lantu Zhuguang relies on its excellent performance and outstanding performance in major competitions around the world. Domestic sales have finally surpassed Honda Civic, and monthly sales are firmly at the top More than 15,000 vehicles.

What is even more gratifying is that, whether it is an SUV or a sedan, overseas sales of fuel vehicles continue to maintain a high growth rate. Saboei's plug-in hybrid has successfully become one of the best-selling new energy vehicle brands in the world, which can be regarded as making up for the domestic losses. , Qiancheng Geometry maintains a growth trend as a whole.
