At the same time, the new car will also be optimized on the front air intake grille, and a more exaggerated front enclosure design will be used. In addition, the internal cavity of the taillight group of the new car is replaced by a brand-new light band design. At present, we are not clear about its specific details, and it is not excluded that a brand-new luminescent material will be used.

  As a lightweight version of the BMW M4, in addition to the redesign of the exterior kit, it is expected that the new car will also undergo a series of lightweight treatments in the roof, interior and seats. It is reported that this BMW M4 CSL will eventually be 100kg lighter than the BMW M4. Recently, overseas BMW fans have photographed more interior spy photos of this high-performance coupe in advance, among which the interior design with substantial weight loss and the CSL logo that has been away for many years have returned again.

  In addition to the exposure of the interior, the tire model of the new car was also photographed clearly. The BMW M4 CSL will be equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tire, with the size of 275/35 R19. This semi-hot melt tire developed for the track is expected to make the BMW M4 CSL have excellent lap times, which may also indicate that BMW will use this model to hit the limit record of New Bogeling North Ring Circuit. In addition to the tire model, we can also see the brand-new pure carbon fiber front bumper and the exclusive LOGO of the 50 th anniversary of BMW M Department through this photo.

  Although the appearance of the new car is still covered with heavy clothes, overseas fans have successfully photographed the interior of the new car. We can notice that the BMW M4 CSL has greatly reduced the weight inside the car, which not only directly cancels the traditional central armrest box, but even replaces the extended center console with pure carbon fiber material, and even the cover plate of the front storage compartment disappears.

  At the same time, the new car will also use two brand-new front seats wrapped in carbon fiber and leather. It can be seen that the seat shape is not only thin but also very wrapped, and the hollowing out behind it is reserved for four-point seat belts, while the rear seats are suspected to be cancelled directly. Coupled with the carbon fiber decorative board and Alcantara+ carbon fiber steering wheel originally belonging to the ordinary version of M4, it is believed that the new car will be significantly lighter than the ordinary version of BMW M4.

  In terms of power, BMW M4 CSL will also recalibrate this 3.0T twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 557 HP, which is 47 HP higher than that of BMW M4 Thunder Edition. In terms of transmission, the new car will continue to use the 8-speed automatic manual transmission and only provide the rear-drive version. It is reported that the new car will be sold worldwide in a limited way after its release.

■ Edit Comment:

  Extreme power performance and extreme light weight will be the two major features of the new BMW M4 CSL. The last time BMW used the suffix "CSL" was in the E46 M3 era. The BMW M3 CSL model code-named E46 lost 100kg on the basis of the original M3, which further stimulated the potential of the 3.2L naturally aspirated inline six-cylinder engine. It was a very extreme model in that year, and this generation M4 also used the suffix "CSL", which means that it will also be.

Maximum diameter shield machine! The shield machine with a diameter of 16.07 meters rolled off the assembly line in Changsha.

  Cctv newsYesterday (27th), an ultra-large diameter shield machine with a maximum excavation diameter of 16.07m rolled off the production line in Changsha, which is the largest diameter shield machine developed in China so far.

 

  This "Big Mac" shield machine is named "Jinghua", with a total length of 150 meters, a total weight of 4,300 tons, and a height of more than 5 floors. It is the first time that Chinese enterprises have successfully realized the industrial manufacturing of a 16-meter super-large diameter shield machine. According to reports, the shield machine will participate in the reconstruction project of Beijing East Sixth Ring Road after leaving the factory.

Harley-Davidson motorcycles are too expensive. These "Little Harleys" with V-type twin-cylinder engines are less than 30,000 yuan.

Deafening exhaust sound, unique horseshoe sound of V-type twin-cylinder engine and retro design … These characteristics make Harley-Davidson a world-famous motorcycle brand and even a representative of American culture, with a large number of fans around the world.

Harley-Davidson’s entry-level model Iron 883 sells for nearly 120,000 yuan, and the entry-level price of travel series is more than 300,000 yuan. For consumers who buy motorcycles as toys, Harley-Davidson is really unattainable. Aside from the brand value, we think that the sound of horseshoes and the shape of cruise cars are the core factors for everyone to like Harley Davidson.

According to this demand, there are many motorcycles that can be called "Little Harley" in the market, which also have the sound of hooves and the shape of cruise cars, and their price is only 20,000-30,000 yuan. From the perspective of toys, they are more approachable and more affordable.

Longjia is a well-known motorcycle brand in China, with a relatively complete product layout. For example, Longjia V Ba is the first cruise vehicle with belt drive in China, and it has been tested by consumers after listing, and its products are excellent in quality. Although the engine of Longjia V bully has a displacement of 250CC, the power is not strong, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers exceeds 15 seconds, which has obvious disadvantages compared with competing models.

In terms of design, Longjia V-fighter, like its name, has the impression of a strong American muscle motorcycle. The body adopts a lot of straight lines, the matte paint is full of industrial flavor, and the side of the body is full of muscle with double exhaust and V-shaped two-cylinder engine. Moreover, although the appearance of Longjia V bully is tough, the configuration is still relatively rich. The front and rear LED headlights are designed, and the front and rear ABS, front three piston calipers, horse brand belts and other configurations are also competitive.

Qingqi Korean GV 300 S is a joint venture cruise vehicle developed by domestic brand Qingqi and Korea’s KR Motors Co., Ltd.. On the appearance level, in addition to the compact size of the car body, its appearance design is a typical American cruise car shape, especially the design of separating the seat cushion from the fuel tank. The retro headlight design is the crowning touch, and there is no fault in the design level. However, it is a single-seat design, and the inconvenience in the back row makes it less practical.

Although Qingqi Korean GV 300 S is an American cruise design, it does not use belt drive, but chain drive, so the transmission efficiency is relatively high, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is in the early 7 seconds, which is a very good result for a retro cruise car. Moreover, because of its small body and sensitive dynamic response, it is easy to control and smart, and can even drive a cruise car to run mountains.

Recently, a short video of "Lifan Motorcycle, Zhaxidele" caught fire, and the voice broadcast of this motorcycle also reflects the reliability of Lifan Motorcycle, because it is extremely popular in the harsh plateau area, and it can be regarded as Honda in the domestic motorcycle industry. Although Lifan V16 S is a cruise car, its precise definition should be a sports cruise car. The design looks more individual, but consumers who don’t accept this design style will think it is neither fish nor fowl.

On the power level, Lifan V16 S is the same as Longjia V-fighter, with good engine reliability but weak power, and not sensitive control. In terms of configuration, the front and rear ABS and color instruments are sincere at the price of about 20,000 yuan. For Lifan V16 S, if the budget is not enough and you like the design of the cruise car, it is still worth buying.

If you choose a cruise car at this price, you can’t escape the model of Jinjila 300, because its product strength is too strong, and its design, configuration and power are impeccable. On the power level, the V-type twin-cylinder engine with a displacement of 300CC accelerates for 8 seconds in the early 100 kilometers, and the sports adjustment method gives it the driving feel of a street car. Front and rear ABS, semi-hot melt tires, horse brand belts, LED headlights and other configurations make it very cost-effective. The drop-shaped fuel tank and thick exhaust make it look elegant and domineering.

Although the product strength of Jinjila 300 is excellent enough, it is still worth polishing, such as hard clutch, poor texture of car paint, coolant leakage, hard to find neutral gear and other defects. After picking up the car, some improvements have to be made, such as upgrading labor-saving clutch, attaching car clothes and tightening bolts. These minor problems are difficult to appear in large factories.

Shu Jin said:

The motorcycle market in China is booming gradually. Harley Davidson and Qianjiang Motorcycle are joint ventures, KTM and Chunfeng Motorcycle are joint ventures, and Honda, Yamaha and BMW have accelerated the launch of domestic products. Many high-end models that we once dreamed of have also been replaced in the China market. For example, the four cruise motorcycles recommended today are equipped with two-cylinder engines, and the exhaust sound is also good. Although the product strength is far from Harley Davidson, they can fully support the name of Little Harley from the entry level.

Nongfu Spring, who was scolded by the whole network, made 12 billion last year

Original, Gao Yuzhe, Leopard Transformation

"Core Tips"

Nongfu Spring, which has encountered a huge public opinion storm, has achieved a "two-legged" balance of water and beverages in 2023. However, under the multiple pressures of negative public opinion, upgraded health needs, and intense competition, can the "Porter of Nature" hold the top spot?

Editing | Xing, Yun

Under the storm, Nongfu Spring still handed over a dazzling financial report.

On the evening of March 26, Nongfu Spring announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that the total revenue in 2023 was 42.667 billion yuan, an increase of 28.4% year-on-year; the net profit attributable to the parent was 12.079 billion yuan, an increase of 42.2% year-on-year. During the reporting period, Nongfu Spring’s gross profit margin increased by 2.1 percentage points from 57.4% in the same period of the previous year to 59.5%.

As of the close of March 27, Nongfu Spring closed at HK $41.25/share, down 1.08%, and the total market value 463.90 billion. In the recently released "2024 Hurun Global Rich List", Nongfu Spring founder and chairperson Zhong Shanyi became China’s richest man for four consecutive years with a wealth of 450 billion yuan.

The annual growth performance is really gratifying, but recently Nongfu Spring has also encountered the biggest public opinion storm since its listing. Since the death of Wahaha founder Zong Qinghou, Nongfu Spring’s market value has evaporated by more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and product sales have also been affected to a certain extent.

It is worth noting that the most eye-catching packaged drinking water in Nongfu Spring in fiscal 2022 contributed 54.9% of total revenue; this proportion dropped to 47.5% in 2023. At the same time, the beverage business grew rapidly, accounting for 51.7% of total revenue, surpassing packaged drinking water for the first time.

Under the upheaval of public opinion and the escalation of health needs, can the "porter of nature" hold the top spot? Drinking water bosses want to be the "beverage brother"?

How much money can "porters" make?

At the beginning of 2024, the bottled water industry staged a leading "melee".

The death of private entrepreneur Zong Qinghou and his past have caused the public’s favorable impression of the Wahaha brand to rise sharply. In addition to the hot search on Wahaha frequency and the soaring sales volume, Nongfu Spring has also been mired in the storm of public opinion. The past between Zong Qinghou and Zhong Shansui has been extended as a story of "Farmer and Snake".

With the fermentation of the incident, the sales of Nongfu Spring were affected. Some media reported that the single-day sales of Nongfu Spring e-commerce platform even dropped from over one million yuan to 50,000 yuan. At present, this storm has not completely subsided. Whether the operating performance of Nongfu Spring will have an impact will be reflected in the first quarter financial report.

The financial report for 2023 once again demonstrates the stable foundation of Nongfu Spring. As a company with a gross profit margin of up to 60%, its revenue and net profit still maintain a good growth rate.

Looking back at the financial reports from 2020 to 2022, the revenue of Nongfu Spring was 22.877 billion yuan, 29.696 billion yuan and 33.239 billion yuan respectively, and the revenue increased by 10.362 billion in three years; to 2023, it increased by nearly 10 billion in only one year.

In terms of net profit, from 2020 to 2022, the net profit attributable to the mother in the same period was 5.277 billion yuan, 7.162 billion yuan and 8.495 billion yuan respectively; in 2023, the net profit of Nongfu Spring was 12.079 billion yuan, an increase of 42.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate increased by 23.6 percentage points compared with the previous year.

Not only did the growth rate of net profit accelerate, but by contrast, the growth rate of net profit exceeded that of revenue.

In China’s packaged drinking water market, Nongfu Spring has always occupied the highest market share. China Resources Yibao, ranked second, did not disclose revenue data for the year in its 2022 sustainability report, only showing a total profit of 1.375 billion yuan.

The earnings report of Nongfu Spring shows that the increase in net profit in 2023 is mainly due to the decrease in the procurement cost of cartons, labels and some raw materials compared with the same period of the previous year. Among the four business segments of Nongfu Spring, the well-known packaged drinking water is the basic plate of its business performance. To a large extent, Nongfu Spring’s strong profitability comes from the high gross profit margin of drinking water.

Why is the gross profit so high? It is because the cost is extremely low. With a gross profit margin of 60%, the unit price of mineral water of 2 yuan is only about 8 cents, and the gross profit is 1.2 yuan. Some media have calculated that, taking each bottle of 400ml packaging water as an example, the polymer PET (polyethylene terephthalate) used to make the bottle costs about 6 cents for materials, about 3 cents for packaging materials (heat shrinkable film, etc.), and about 8 cents for water extraction, labor, and processing. This means that the cost mainly comes from packaging.

The financial report shows that the revenue of Nongfu Spring Packaged Water in 2023 was 20.26 billion yuan, an increase of 10.9% year-on-year. Although the growth rate rebounded from the previous year, it was the lowest among the four major businesses. Obviously, the slowdown in the growth rate of the basic market also brought reminders to the running giants.

Looking for the next eastern leaf

From the perspective of the growth of various businesses, the proportion of beverages in the total revenue of Farmer Mountain has reached more than half, and the first super-packaged drinking water, especially tea beverages, has seen strong growth, further raising the company’s competitive barriers.

Nongfu Spring is divided into four business segments: packaged drinking water represented by bottled water; that is, the tea-drinking segment includes brands such as tea π and Oriental leaves, which have become the second growth curve; functional drinks and juice drinks in a diverse layout, with a large number of products, are regarded as the third growth curve.

Tea products recorded annual revenue of 12.659 billion yuan in 2023, an increase of 83.3% over 2022, accounting for 29.7% of total revenue in 2023. It is worth noting that the revenue scale of this sector in 2022 is nearly 7 billion, with revenue accounting for only 20.8% of the total, indicating that the second growth curve is rising rapidly.

The two largest single products in tea beverage products are Oriental Leaf and Tea Pi, and the sugar-free tea track where Oriental Leaf is located has become a star track in the consumption trend in recent years, and Oriental Leaf is even more powerful.

According to Nielsen data, as of August 2023, Oriental leaves have increased by 114% year-on-year in the past 12 months, outpacing the overall growth rate of the ready-to-drink tea industry by 9 times. Oriental leaves, together with tea π, contributed more than 60% of the increase in the entire ready-to-drink tea market. Oriental leaves have maintained a growth rate of more than 50% for three consecutive years.

Although Nongfu Spring launched the Oriental Leaf product as early as 13 years ago, from a historical perspective, Suntory entered the Chinese market in 1997. Three years later, Coca-Cola and Nestle have successively launched sugar-free and calorie-free products.

At that time, people were enthusiastic about "small sweet water" with high sugar content, including Master Kong’s star single iced black tea, and the Arctic Ocean visible on the streets of Beijing. Not only was the faint oriental leaf mocked, it was also named one of the five worst drinks in China, and even called "dishwashing water".

Oriental leaves can enter the consumer’s line of sight, on the one hand is the increase of people’s health awareness, on the other hand is the rise of the cutting-edge brand Yuan Qi Sen Lin, under the trend of the new consumer era, 0 sugar 0 fat overnight became the standard for young people.

Sugar-free tea is becoming a new trend. Euromonitor data shows that the growth rate of sugar-free tea in China far exceeds that of other tea tracks. From 2017 to 2022, sugary tea has entered a low growth rate, while sugar-free tea will maintain a growth rate of 7.9% in 2022, much higher than that of sugary tea. It is expected that the CAGR of sugar-free tea market will reach 10.2% in 2022-2027.

The rise of the track has inspired new and old players to enter the game. Among them, there are traditional brands represented by Nongfu Spring, Wahaha, Dongpeng Beverage, etc.; there are also new brands represented by Yuan Qi Sen Lin, Chali, tea’stone, etc.

Although Dongfang Leaf has obvious advantages, the entry of various brands has also put huge pressure on the market competition. Yuan Qi Sen Lin’s sugar-free tea product Burning Tea has specifications covering 500ml, 550ml, 600ml and 900ml; Dongpeng Beverage’s Oolong tea launched in 2023 is only 69.9 yuan after 24 bottles are discounted.

Faced with the growth rate of the subdivision track, once it enters the stage of large-scale competition and price war, it will be a big challenge for each company. Moreover, the emerging track market barriers are not large, and young consumers are willing to try early adopters, etc., all of which determine that in addition to the dark horse of Oriental Leaves, it is more secure to create the next star single product.

Chasing 50 billion camp, competing to be the drink brother

In comparison to the packaged drinking water and tea beverage segments, fruit juice beverages and functional beverages performed slightly conservatively in the 2023 full-year financial report.

Nongfu Spring financial report shows that in 2023 functional beverage products recorded annual revenue of 4.90 billion yuan, an increase of 27.7%, accounting for 11.5% of total revenue in 2023; fruit juice beverage product revenue 3.53 billion yuan, an increase of 22.7%, accounting for 8.3% of total revenue in 2023, a decrease.

As the third growth sector in the early layout of Nongfu Spring, there are many competitors in the functional and juice beverage track.

It has a wide range of products, including Screaming, Water Soluble C100, NFC 17.5 °, Power Emperor, etc. In 2023, Nongfu Spring will also continue to introduce new flavors in this field.

However, from the perspective of the industry as a whole, Nongfu Spring’s market share is relatively low. In functional drinks, a larger market share is occupied by Red Bull, Dongpeng Special Drink, and Pulse. In 2021, Red Bull’s market share will exceed 50%, ranking first in the industry; followed by Dongpeng Special Drink and Pulse, accounting for 12% and 7% respectively; the cutting-edge brand Yuan Qi Sen Lin entered the market in 2021 and launched Alien Electrolyte Water in April. A year later, Alien Electrolyte Water became Yuan Qi Sen Lin’s knock-out product to create the second curve.

In the field of juice beverages, Coca-Cola, Huiyuan Juice, and Weiquan Food are the industry leaders, with a market share of the top three, all exceeding 10%. To lead the industry, Nongfu Spring has to face multiple rivals.

As the proportion of beverages continues to increase, Nongfu Spring has realized that water and beverages "walk on two legs".

In most consumers’ minds, "Farmer Mountain is a little sweet" "We don’t produce water, we are just nature’s porters" has long been a popular advertising slogan. In fact, the total revenue of unlisted Wahaha has always been higher than that of Farmer Spring.

In China’s beverage industry, Wahaha is the real leader. From 2021 to 2023, the total revenue of Nongfu Spring is 29.696 billion, 33.239 billion and 42.667 billion; and in 2021, Wahaha’s revenue has exceeded 50 billion. According to the data of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and the summary and commendation conference of Wahaha Group in 2023, Wahaha has maintained a total revenue of more than 50 billion yuan for three consecutive years.

To achieve 50 billion record, there is also the low-key Master Kong. In public cognition, the first thing that comes to mind when mentioning Master Kong is "instant noodles", which is also a leading player in the beverage industry. 2023 annual financial report shows that Master Kong’s beverage growth is slow, but the overall revenue of drinks in 2023 still reached 50.939 billion yuan. Because the gross profit margin of drinks is higher than that of instant noodles, Master Kong has already shifted its business focus to drinks, accounting for more than 60% of the business.

It can be seen that Zhong Shanshan, who has the "richest man" aura, and Nongfu Spring under his leadership, still have many competitors to defeat if they want to become the hegemon of the beverage industry.

Nongfu Spring has indeed laid a solid foundation in the field of bottled water, and the product line in the beverage matrix is also relatively rich, but in the competition for the hegemony of new and old brands, it has the voice over the hands of consumers. Coupled with the fungibility of the drink itself and the diversification of the purchase scene, the era of once relying on a slogan to go the world is gone. To face new brands and strive to be "the first brother of drinks", Nongfu Spring still has to solve problems.

Which drinks do you buy most often?

A "reform" brings leap development

  Strongly supporting, stimulating vitality, and accelerating innovation, China FAW achieved contrarian growth and strong growth –

  A "reform" brings leap development

  On the assembly line of the FAW Hongqi factory, the heroic "Hongqi" H9 cars caught the eye.

  "Since the launch of this car, there has been a steady stream of orders." The staff told reporters, "Not only H9, but the sales of the entire’Hongqi ‘brand car exceeded 200,000 in 2020, an increase of 42 times in three years."

  In the context of the continuous decline in sales in the global automobile industry and the impact of the epidemic, how can "red flag" vehicles rise against the trend and grow strongly? The answer of the employees is: "It comes from reform."

  Concentrate on advantages to strengthen the brand

  As the first high-end car in New China, the "Hongqi" car has always carried people’s high hopes for national cars. However, the brand has experienced ups and downs since the 1980s.

  Significant changes began in 2017. That year, Xu Liuping was transferred to FAW and launched a new round of reform. The three independent brands, Hongqi, Pentium, and Jiefang, were re-organized and resourced. In particular, "Hongqi" cars were directly operated by FAW Group headquarters, concentrating the best forces to strengthen the brand.

  "Before the reform, Hongqi Automobile was produced and operated as a branch. In 2017, after the brand was directly operated by the group headquarters, a factory dedicated to production was established, and the group headquarters was responsible for coordinating various resources." Wang Caiyun, director of the general management department of Hongqi Factory, said.

  The headquarters of the group has actively optimized the coordination and mobilization of personnel and financial resources of the Hongqi brand, so that the product quality and production scale can be rapidly improved. In this regard, the employees of the Hongqi factory are deeply touched: "In the past, there were only more than 20 professionals on our production line. Now, there are more than 200 people just doing production preparation. In the past, the annual investment was at most a few million yuan, but now it can reach billions of yuan. Three workshops such as stamping, welding, and painting have been created from scratch. The scale of the production base has been expanded by 4 times, and digitalization has been fully realized…"

  "After shouldering the operational function, the functional areas of business at the group headquarters were all demolished and redesigned. Almost all of them had task indicators linked to the development of the red flag, from’management ‘to’dry’." Zeng Xiaojun, director of the system management department/organization management department of FAW Group, said for example. "Although the headquarters had a brand marketing department in the past, it did not sell cars. After the reform, the department was abolished and the marketing center was re-established, which was not only directly responsible for sales, but also added pre-product planning and so on."

  Since 2017, the major institutional adjustment of FAW Group headquarters has been carried out 6 times. After connecting with the market, the problem of headquarters institutionalization has also been solved. The satisfaction of FAW’s grassroots units with headquarters services rose to 91.59%.

  Reform stimulates enterprise vitality

  On the bookshelf of Wang Caiyun’s office, a military order stands out. This was signed by her in FAW’s new round of "All Stand Up, All Staff Compete" last September. Exceeding the performance targets in the military order may result in promotion and salary increase. If you fail to complete it, you may lose your job or even lose your job.

  "All stand up, all employees compete for employment", which originates from FAW’s "four-energy" reform that began in 2017 and is competitive every three years. Wu Jintian, director of the group’s Human Resources compensation management department, told reporters that the core of this reform is value creation-based, performance-based measurement, to achieve "cadres can go up and down, salaries can be high and low, employees can come in and out, and institutions can increase and decrease".

  "Competing for employment based on ability depends on how much value you have created for the enterprise, and you must speak with your results." In the eyes of many FAW cadres, this reform is tantamount to a "deep earthquake".

  Mr. Liu is one of a group of capable young geniuses who want to work. After two rounds of competition in 2017 and 2020, he has become FAW’s youngest senior manager after nine years of work. Previously, it took 16 years at the fastest for employees to enter the senior manager position. The reform has reduced the average age of FAW’s middle-level cadres by about 5 years.

  After the 1980s, Wang Caiyun also achieved a three-level jump in three years due to the "four-ability reform": from a second-level manager, to a senior director, and then to a department director. "Being able to go up and down, in and out, is a manifestation of the vitality of an enterprise," she said.

  With the younger ranks of cadres, many post-80s and post-90s have been entrusted with important responsibilities, provoking the backbone in the research, production and sales system, and "red flag" cars have gradually entered the hearts of "new car buying forces".

  Accelerate the pace of innovation across the board

  When the reporter arrived at the FAW Innovation Technology Research Institute, Cao Lijun, the head of the Comprehensive Technology Management Department, was leading colleagues to study the "14th Five-Year" intellectual property plan.

  In order to comprehensively strengthen its innovation capabilities, in September 2017, FAW kicked off the reform of its scientific research system and restructured the FAW Technology Center, which is known as the "Cradle of China’s Automotive R & D Talents". It established the Research and Development Institute, the Modeling Design Institute, the New Energy Development Institute, and the Intelligent Network Development Institute. In the past three years, it has successively established the Innovation Technology Research Institute, the Materials Research Institute, and the Testing and Testing Institute.

  The overall scientific research structure has changed from "one center" to "Big Dipper", the research direction is more detailed, and the R & D responsibilities are clearer. At the same time, the development of "Hongqi" products has been strengthened. For example, the Design Institute is mainly responsible for the appearance design of the Hongqi brand.

  Wang Caiyun said: "After the establishment of the Design Institute, the’Red Flag ‘has its own family design language, and these are the iconic symbols of the’Red Flag’ car."

  The segmentation of the research and development field has also greatly accelerated the pace of FAW’s follow-up with the latest technologies and exploration of forward-looking technologies. Take the Intelligent Netlink Development Institute as an example, due to a group of personnel specializing in vehicle to everything, the intelligence of Hongqi has been continuously upgraded. The Hongqi EHS9, which was launched in December last year, has been praised by users as "killing many products of the same level in seconds".

  "In the past, ‘Hongqi’ had a single product and not many models. Due to the reform of the scientific research system, new technologies in the industry were quickly reflected in the car, and the speed of product update and iteration has surpassed that of joint venture vehicles." The staff of the final assembly workshop of the Hongqi factory told reporters that the significant improvement in the development and design level not only gave Hongqi more and more "charm points", but also the manufacturability and equipability of products, which will help "Hongqi" usher in a big explosion in production and sales.

  Through comprehensive deepening of reform, China FAW’s independent innovation ability has been significantly enhanced, and 3,508 patents were applied for in 2020, an increase of 19.8% year-on-year; in the past three years, vehicle sales have increased from 3.106 million to 3.706 million, with an average annual growth of 4.5%, and the market share has increased from 11.1% to 14.6%, an increase of 3.5 percentage points.

Imported Volvo, which is famous for its safety, rusts in less than half a year!

This Volvo XC90 has a high failure rate!

Mr. Li of Hangzhou bought a Volvo XC90 in November last year, which belongs to the highest grade model of this brand. However, so far, it has appeared one after another.If the co-pilot doesn’t sit, it will give an alarm, the cushion frame below will rust, the skylight will leak, the engine fault light will flash, and the airbag will fail.Wait a series of questions.

Complainant Mr. Li:

First of all, the first problem is that I found that this seat can’t be adjusted. At first, I couldn’t adjust it. I left it in a hurry. When I used it again, I found that it couldn’t be used. When I went to the 4S shop again, I found that there was a missing accessory. Then I found that the seat would automatically alarm.

Mr. Li said that the initial minor problem was solved after one or two repairs, but with the arrival of the rainy season, the skylight leaked again.

Complainant Mr. Li:

When I went to the 4S shop, he measured that the skylight water pipe was not blocked and the running water was very smooth. How can it leak? ) When the corners of the water pipes are overlapped, the rivets may not be firmly combined. The first time I went there, I didn’t check the problem. I asked him to pad the paper, and the second time I suspected it was this place, and then I handled it. (Is it handled now? ) Now who knows, it will take a long time. If it rains for two or three days, there will always be water accumulation, and there will always be water seepage grooves in the skylight.

Two days after the interview, we contacted Mr. Li again. He said that the repaired skylight was leaking again. It seems that the 4S shop didn’t get the idea.

In addition, the trouble that made Mr. Li uneasy also came. When repairing the fault that the co-pilot called the police without sitting, he found that the co-pilot cushion skeleton was badly rusted. Could it be a soaking car?

Complainant Mr. Li:

The car that I haven’t had for half a year is rusted like this. I suspect it is a soaking car. The 4S shop told me that it was by sea. How did it rust like this by sea?

Special technician Zheng Jun:

I just looked at it. It’s unlikely. I suspect that it is not the problem of going by sea or land. I suspect that the paint was not in place when spraying the skeleton.

Complainant Mr. Li:

When the after-sales manager called me, I recorded it. He also admitted that there were many abnormal problems in the car, so you should treat the abnormal problems as abnormal instead of normal. I bought your car for quality. There are 70 to 80 problems in the new car for half a year. How can you let a consumer trust you? The single problem may not be too big, but there are so many problems in the car for half a year.

Special technician Zheng Jun:

Did the 4S shop give you any solutions?

Complainant Mr. Li:

He said he would extend my warranty for two years, and verbally promised to return my car if there were so many failure rates again.

Special technician Zheng Jun:

Then this can’t just be a verbal promise.

Complainant Mr. Li:

I asked him to write a paper certificate and he didn’t agree.

Rust condition of passenger seat skeleton

As for why the seat frame rusts, Manager Bao of the sales department of Hangzhou Zhongwo 4S Store said so.

Manager Bao of Sales Department of Hangzhou Zhongwo 4S Store:

This skeleton is made of pig iron, which will definitely involve a little rust. Pig iron is not rust-proof, because all Volvo seats are made of pig iron. In case of an accident collision, its seats can be pulled back, so as to prevent people from being exposed to some safety hazards.

Today’s car reporter:

So this rust is normal?

Manager Bao of Sales Department of Hangzhou Zhongwo 4S Store:

I didn’t say it was normal, just said it could be rusted.

Today’s car reporter:

Then why didn’t you do anti-rust treatment at first?

Manager Bao of Sales Department of Hangzhou Zhongwo 4S Store:

I don’t know about this. After all, we are not a manufacturer.

Today’s car reporter:

There is another problem that the skylight leaks, and the owner said it leaked again these two days.

Manager Bao of Sales Department of Hangzhou Zhongwo 4S Store:

At that time, it was equivalent to saying that it was not repaired. It was just a preliminary inspection. Because we were involved in disassembling something, the owner wouldn’t let us disassemble it, so the owner was in our store yesterday. We gave him the scooter, and his car was here. He also agreed to disassemble it for us. Finally, we confirmed what the problem was.

Today’s car reporter:

There are so many problems now, is it the workmanship?

Manager Bao of Sales Department of Hangzhou Zhongwo 4S Store:

I don’t know, I can only say that the failure rate of his car is really a little high. We have almost negotiated some questions about the customer yesterday, but he will go back and discuss some details.

Full video of the program:

Moderator Jiang Xin

The failure rate is on the high side, that is, Mr. Li is unlucky enough to buy back such a car. As long as both parties reach an agreement on the repair and compensation, all the problems of the vehicle will be solved in the end. However, we think that this is not just a matter of luck, but also reflects the worrying quality of vehicles from a certain angle. I hope this is just an example.
