A slowly opening preface to building a car

"This time I decided, I will personally lead. This will be the last entrepreneurial project in my life. I am well aware of what this decision means to me. I am willing to put all the achievements and reputations accumulated in my life and fight for Xiaomi Automobile. " On March 30th, 2021, Mr Lei Jun announced in hit the floor at the spring product launch conference of "Endless Millet". If his eyes can drift as little as possible to the teleprompter on the ground when he speaks, then the above passage can be more forceful.

It has been almost two and a half years since the announcement of building a car. In the past two and a half years, Xiaomi Automobile has made a lot of noise, but in fact it has done an excellent job of confidentiality. Until recently, the interaction between Mr. Lei Jun and netizens about Xiaomi’s first-generation mobile phone packaging box in Weibo once again triggered the discussion of Xiaomi’s car-making among netizens.

According to all kinds of network transmission information, Xiaomi’s first car is Coupe, code-named MS11.

There are two versions of the media webcast, of which the entry version is equipped with a 400V voltage platform and the battery is BYD blade battery. In terms of intelligent driving, the entry version will adopt the mainland multi-sensor fusion scheme (5 millimeter waves+1 camera). The advanced version will be directly equipped with 800V high-voltage platform, and the battery will be Kirin battery from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. In terms of intelligent driving, the advanced version will use Orin X chip and laser radar supplied by Wo Sai, and the cockpit chip will also use Snapdragon 8295. About the advanced version of the battery use, it has basically been hammered. Previously, some netizens exposed a battery label printed with Xiaomi logo. According to the label information, the rated voltage is 726.7V, the rated capacity is 101kWh, and the weight is 642kg, which is Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited’s Kirin battery.

After Huawei, Sony, and Apple, Xiaomi once again entered the new energy electric vehicle circle as a consumer electronics company, and its own positioning is a vehicle manufacturer rather than a supplier, adding a new firewood to the burning bonfire. However, not everyone bought Reske’s account. After the official announcement, Xiaomi’s stock has fallen by nearly 60% in the past two and a half years. The capital market and investors have learned to look at the new energy vehicle market with a calm and rational eye under the baptism and education of Wei Xiaoli, and domestic and foreign brokers are also cautious about giving Xiaomi a valuation. At the beginning of 2022, Goldman Sachs gave Xiaomi a valuation of 34 billion yuan, about 1.6 Hong Kong dollars per share, accounting for less than one tenth of Xiaomi Group’s share price; Huatai Securities gave a more conservative valuation in a research report at the beginning of this year. It is estimated that by 2024, the valuation of Xiaomi’s automobile business will be about 14.3 billion yuan, corresponding to 0.6 Hong Kong dollars per share, accounting for only 3% of Xiaomi Group’s overall target valuation.

Is Mr. Lei Jun’s challenge of "putting all the achievements and reputations accumulated in life" really so unbearable?

The difficulties and bumps on the long road ahead

Smart electric car, the first thing is the car.

At the press conference in 21 years, Reske confidently announced that he would "use high-quality intelligent electric vehicles to let users around the world enjoy the ubiquitous intelligent life". In October 2012, Lei Jun himself wrote on Twitter: "Electric vehicle is a consumer electronic product with intelligence, software and user experience as its core. The essence of the automobile industry will develop from machinery to consumer electronics. "

From Lei Jun’s resume, the meaning of his speech, and the current focus of Xiaomi Automobile, it is not difficult to see that Xiaomi Automobile focuses more on "intelligence" than "car".

Chart 6 Lei Jun believes that smart trams are consumer electronic products (source network).

So at first glance, it’s a bit like a book, but it’s not. Intelligent electric vehicles must be a good car to drive first, and then they need to consider intelligence. Electric vehicles are just another form of energy. When I first became interested in the field of smart trams, I didn’t care about the so-called "maneuverability" and "chassis feeling". It was not until I hit a 400,000-yuan SUV on the net and sat in the back row with the car constantly fluctuating up and down, as if I were riding a boat breaking the waves at sea that I realized that most of the cars I drove/rode before didn’t have these maneuverability and chassis problems, not that smart trams didn’t need to pay attention to these problems.

Reske regards smart trams as pure consumer electronic products, and is committed to creating an unprecedented intelligent cockpit ecology and intelligent assisted driving system to help Xiaomi users immerse themselves in a happy technological life all the time.

As far as autonomous driving is concerned, Xiaomi acquired a company called "Shendong Technology", and it is said that it has invested 3.3 billion yuan to set up a special autonomous driving team of up to 500 people, and cooperated with its artificial intelligence laboratory and Xiaoai team in an attempt to get rid of this hard bone.

However, as far as the current form of human-computer interaction is concerned, I think that in the foreseeable long period of time, the smart tram must first be a traditional car, not a pure consumer electronic product. On a global scale, whether it is a traditional fuel car or a new energy tram, driving this action still depends on human drivers, and assisted driving can only be an aid. The day when high-level assisted driving is recognized by law is still far away. This fact determines that no matter whether a car is intelligent or not, maneuverability must be ranked first. As a "new and new force" with no background in building cars, Xiaomi Automobile, just like its predecessors, has almost no idea about how to build a good car, and this behavior of Resker betting on intelligence is bound to enlarge this shortcoming of Xiaomi Automobile twice. For many people who love cars and cars, driving itself is fun, and there is no need for a big tablet in the car or a smart voice assistant to gild the lily.

In the final analysis, weThe era witnessed the energy transformation from fossil fuels to electric energy, rather than the interactive transformation from manpower to intelligent automation..

The trite question of qualification

For the new forces, it is also a headache to get the qualification to build a car. In the Regulations on Investment Management of Automobile Industry issued in December 2018, there are two requirements for shareholders:

Article 19 (2) states: "Shareholders have strong control over key components, and have intellectual property rights and production capacity of key components such as vehicle control system, drive motor and vehicle power battery. "

Chart 7 Article 19 of the Regulations on Investment Management of Automobile Industry (Source: official website, National Development and Reform Commission of the People’s Republic of China)

With such a rule, Xiaomi’s crazy foreign investment is not so difficult to understand. According to enterprise investigation, Xiaomi’s "Beijing Xiaomi Zhizao Equity Investment Fund" has invested in 27 companies abroad; According to Sina Finance, in addition to Xiaomi Zhizao, Xiaomi has three equity investment platforms, namely Xiaomi Changjiang Industrial Fund, Shunwei Capital and Xiaomi Private Equity Fund Management Co., Ltd., all of which have invested heavily in the automobile industry chain. Layout, and before the announcement of building a car, Xiaomi Capital has already laid out the smart car field. According to incomplete statistics, Xiaomi Automobile has invested in more than 50 smart tram suppliers, including chips, smart cockpits, autonomous driving, lidar, power batteries, and even battery raw materials.

Article 20 (1) 2 states: "The construction scale shall be no less than 100,000 pure electric passenger cars and 5,000 pure electric commercial vehicles."

What the automobile industry pays attention to is a scale effect, and the country’s entry threshold for production capacity has suddenly increased to 100,000 units. LI is one of the first new forces to build its own factory. Its Changzhou factory was originally designed with a production capacity of 100,000 units, and now it has expanded to 200,000 units. Its Beijing plant has not yet been put into production, and its design capacity is also 100,000 units; Xpeng Motors has three production bases in China: Zhaoqing factory, Guangzhou factory and Wuhan factory. Among them, after the expansion of Zhaoqing plant, the annual production capacity is expected to reach 200,000 vehicles; The Guangzhou plant has an annual production capacity of 120,000 vehicles; The planned annual production capacity of Wuhan plant is 100,000 vehicles. In the future, after the three production bases are fully completed, Xpeng Motors is expected to have a production capacity of 420,000 vehicles.

Ideal and Tucki did not set foot on the road of building their own factories at first. LI was originally manufactured by chongqing lifan Automobile, but the sales in Li ONE far exceeded expectations. In order to establish its own reputation and get rid of the reputation of "changing the shell Lifan", LI invested 650 million yuan to acquire 100% shares in chongqing lifan and obtained the qualification to build a car. The factory in Beijing, ideally, will be upgraded at a big price of 6 billion yuan. According to the latest news in the middle of this month, the Chongqing base project, which is ideal for the planning of Chongqing’s two rivers, has stopped. The ideal reply is that "the production layout plan will be continuously promoted according to the national industrial policy and its own development rhythm. At present, efforts are being made to improve the operation efficiency of Changzhou factory to ensure timely delivery of orders. " Xpeng Motors was originally manufactured by Haima Automobile, and then it was officially acquired by Guangdong Fudi Automobile in March of 20, and it is said that in 2017, Tucki invested 2 billion yuan to build its own Zhaoqing factory, which was completed in 2019. A new force with similar experience is Zero Run, which wholly acquired Fujian Xinfuda Automobile and built its own vehicle factory in Jinhua.

Xiaomi’s choice is to build its own factory in Yizhuang, Beijing. According to the news center of Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, Xiaomi Smart Car Project will cover Xiaomi Automobile Headquarters Base, Sales Headquarters and R&D Headquarters, and a vehicle factory with an annual output of 300,000 vehicles will be built in two phases. Among them, the production capacity of the first and second phases is 150,000 vehicles respectively, and the cumulative annual output of the two phases reaches 300,000 vehicles. It is expected that the first vehicle will be off the assembly line and mass production will be realized in 2024. However, the qualification of Xiaomi to build a car still needs to be solved. Not surprisingly, Xiaomi Auto will also follow the tricks of its predecessors, find a car factory and buy it neatly.

However, we should know that except for its high-end mobile phone line, Xiaomi’s products are all OEM, while Xiaomi Automobile built its own factory as soon as it came up, ensuring that the production and processing links are completely in its own hands, which is enough to prove Xiaomi’s determination to solve the problem.

Exciting pricing problem

The latest news about the pricing of Xiaomi car happened at the beginning of this month. FAW Fuwei revealed on the investor interaction platform that it is communicating with Xiaomi Automobile. Many molecular companies have entered the purchasing group of Xiaomi Automobile, and the quotation for the first model of Xiaomi has been completed.

Chart 11 Answers from FAW Fuwei Investor Q&A Platform (Tuyuan Network)

However, regarding the pricing of Xiaomi car, there has been a heated discussion on the Internet. In June this year, some netizens asked Xiao Ai about the pricing of Xiaomi car, and he replied that "the price of Xiaomi car starts at 149,900, and the WLTC of rear-drive single motor has a battery life of 800km, while the pro version has a battery life of 179,900, which is a four-wheel drive dual-motor configuration with a battery life of about 700km".

Chart 12 Xiao Ai’s answer to Xiaomi’s car pricing (source network)

However, this news was quickly rumored by Wang Hua, general manager of Xiaomi’s public relations department, saying that Xiao Ai had grabbed the relevant information from the media prediction on the Internet and directly replied.

Chart 13 Xiaomi Public Relations Manager Rumors (Source Network)

According to Lei Jun, Xiaomi Automobile is the first car for young people. Since it is the first car for young people, it is naturally inconvenient to set the entry price too high. I always think that Xiaomi and Tucki have something in common in many aspects: similar naming patterns, taking the route of technology and youth, so it is logical that Xiaomi’s benchmarking brand can be Tucki. The entry price of P5 is 157,900 yuan, the entry price of P7 is 249,900 yuan, and the entry price of retail run C01 of similar routes is reduced to 149,800 yuan. Therefore, it is completely reasonable for Xiaomi’s first Coupe model to set the entry price in the price range of 150,000 to 200,000 yuan. The advanced version is limited by the overall increase in cost, so it is not bad to set it higher as the price anchor. After all, the large battery of 101kWh is really expensive. At this stage, the price of models equipped with over 100kWh batteries exceeds 300,000 yuan.

But the biggest problem still lies in Xiaomi’s original audience, as Lei Jun said, "young people". According to the theory of high emotional intelligence, the future of young people can be expected, and the final value is incalculable, but the present value is not so satisfactory; Low EQ is that young people have no money when they are young. One of the original intentions of Reske to build a car is to build a car for "rice noodles" to make them happy, so the biggest natural audience of Xiaomi Automobile is the rice noodles that have already entered the pit. However, are young people who are willing to pay thousands of dollars for Xiaomi mobile phones and Xiaomi computers really willing or able to spend hundreds or even hundreds of thousands to buy a Xiaomi car? For most traditional China people, the car is the second largest asset in life besides the house, which is worth studying and investing, and it’s hard to beat your head with enthusiasm. Mobile phone is an out-and-out consumer electronic product, which can be regarded as a category of fast-moving consumer goods (there are many consumers who change their mobile phones every year). Cars, on the other hand, are real commodities. Under normal circumstances, they will be replaced for many years after being bought. The logic and play of FMCG products are unlikely to work in this category of cars.

Lei Jun once initiated a voting on the pricing of Xiaomi automobile. Among the 17,000 people who participated in the voting, those who chose less than 100,000 voted the most, followed by 100,000-150,000, and those with more than 300,000 voted the least. Xiaomi mobile phone started with cost performance. I wonder if Xiaomi automobile can endure the huge losses in the early stage and the damage of brand tonality, and focus on cost performance.

The real "Red Sea Action"

It is an indisputable fact that the new energy electric vehicle market is already an out-and-out Red Sea.

Xiaomi first announced that it would build a car at the end of the first quarter of 21 years. At that time, Wei Xiaoli had already established prestige in the circle, and other new power brands also mushroomed. Now, two and a half years have passed, Weilai Tucki is no longer brave, and a large number of new forces of that year have withered, while Xiaomi Automobile is still quietly building cars, continuing the promise of releasing the first car in 24 years.

In the eyes of most netizens, including me, this entry time is really bad. The domestic new energy market has reached a point where it can no longer be rolled up, whether it is a luxury configuration that can be used or not, but any OEM that is a little pursuing will plug its own products at no cost. All kinds of leapfrog configurations and luxurious interiors have washed away the nerves of consumers round after round. In such a fully competitive market, car prices and profits are both moving in an incredible direction: at a time when inflation is serious and prices are soaring, car prices are going against the trend, bringing benefits to consumers in a humorous way. In the first quarter of 2021, JATO Dynamics released a data report on the price trend of electric vehicles. The statistical data in this report covers the period of 2011-2021, and the targeted markets include China, Europe and the United States. It is reported that the average price of electric vehicles in China market.In ten years, the decline has exceeded 40%At present, it has been significantly lower than the European and American markets.

The car was announced in 2021 and a new car was released in the first half of 2024. Three years to release a new car, such a speed on the tram, referring to Wei Xiaoli, is actually not slow, it is a standard operation. However, the market is too saturated, and new players who want to enter the market can’t wait. At a time when many new forces are still unable to correct the gross profit, the challenge faced by Xiaomi Automobile is extremely severe.

Xiaomi’s confidence

We have money.

Building a car is quite expensive. On autonomous driving alone, Baidu burned 20 billion yuan a year in 2020; In the fourth quarter of 2022, Weilai recorded the largest loss of 5.07 billion yuan in history, and the annual net loss reached 14.437 billion yuan. However, Xiaomi has little anxiety about money and loss.

"Today’s millet has accumulated a little, and it is time for us to do a big job. What do we have? We have money. " At the press conference, Lei Jun said that the ppt behind him read "108 billion yuan, the cash balance of Xiaomi Group at the end of 2020".

Chart 14 Lei Jun shows the cash balance of Xiaomi Group at the press conference (Tuyuan Network)

Compared with the new forces, Xiaomi can really be called a rich man. According to Wei Xiaoli’s annual report, by the end of 2022, Wei Xiaoli’s cash and cash equivalents were worth 45.5/32.85/58.5 billion yuan respectively. With such a strong capital reserve, Xiaomi Auto can really be said to be full of confidence. It doesn’t need to worry about when it will go bankrupt every day like the new forces, and it doesn’t need to look around for investment. Volkswagen pocketed 4.99% of Tucki’s shares for $700 million and got a seat as an observer on the board of directors. This kind of thing is completely unimaginable for Xiaomi Automobile, which is backed by a big tree. In 2021, Lei Jun solemnly announced that all the money for Xiaomi’s car was made by Xiaomi himself and did not accept external investment. In 10 years, Xiaomi will invest 10 billion US dollars, with an initial investment of 10 billion RMB. "We can afford it." Reske said.

Perfect intelligent ecology

At the press conference in 2021, Lei Jun showed an RV customized by Xiaomi for fans and full of Xiaomi smart home products. Netizens joked that the new forces now build cars with big refrigerators and big color TVs, just the washing machine. But if you really want to compete to install smart home appliances in the car, I think Xiaomi must not be afraid.

Chart 16 Xiaomi’s smart home car for fans (source network)

Just like Apple, Xiaomi has always been committed to building its own ecological environment. The perfect ecological environment makes it natural for it to choose to exert its strength in the field of intelligent cockpit. Imagine a rice noodle opening the door without contact through the mi band worn on your hand; After getting on the bus, he clicked on the map on his Xiaomi mobile phone, and the car directly received the synchronization message, and AR-HUD began real-time road navigation; Xiao Ai, who has been through many battles, realized it efficiently after receiving the voice instructions from the owner. I believe that Xiaomi will definitely focus on the development and optimization of such scenes.

Huawei’s HarmonyOS car has a similar effect, Geely tried to put the flyme system on the car after acquiring Meizu, and Wei started to develop the mobile phone manufacturing business last year … The new forces attach great importance to the human-car interaction experience, and I believe Xiaomi can do it effortlessly with its years of deep cultivation in the field of mobile phones and smart homes. The question is, how big the gap between Xiaomi and other families can be, and whether it can achieve the blow of dimension reduction will give consumers something different.

Chart 17 Xiaomi’s R&D strength (Figure Source Network)

Hey, Mi Fans

Apple’s fans are called fruit powder, and Xiaomi’s fans are called rice noodles. I first learned about this concept because Lei Jun’s press conference in India in 2015 was made into a video of ghost animals by netizens, and the sentences "Are you OK" and "How are you Indian Mi Fans" left a deep impression on people.

Chart 18 Lei Jun Ghost Livestock Video (Source Network)

At the "Rice Noodle Festival" in 2022, Lei Jun said that rice noodles can be recorded in tens of millions. This figure is naturally too watery. However, it is undeniable that the overall image of Xiaomi and its products are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No matter how many, most people will have a few products of Xiaomi Group at home. Two sports bracelets, two hand sanitizer machines, an air purifier and a smart doorbell in my own home are from Xiaomi. It is really cheap enough and easy to use.

With the help of such a huge customer base and market awareness, Xiaomi Automobile has been very hot and topical since it was announced. Lei Jun also bluntly said at the press conference in 21 years that he was deeply encouraged by rice noodles and wanted to build a good car and the first car belonging to young people according to the needs of rice noodles.

However, as mentioned above, young people who are willing to spend thousands of dollars on mobile phones and computers may not be willing or able to spend hundreds or hundreds of thousands on a car that will take many years and tens of thousands of kilometers.

Only when the tide is low can we know who is swimming naked. When the right person buys it, the real product strength and influence of the product will be truly displayed. If Xiaomi only wants to create an explosion in the rice noodle circle, he should carefully consider how much true love powder can really be shot; If you want to create a real explosion that can break the circle, you can’t just think about the considerations of rice noodles, but concentrate on polishing good products and launching new things that can make people shine.

What is the journey of building a car?

Do you earn money by building a car?

Do you earn money by building a car? If you ask the founders of the new forces this question, it is estimated that their feelings are complicated. However, in recent years, traditional fuel car companies such as Volkswagen and Toyota seem to have poor management and failed to keep up with the pace of electrification. One of them has invested in Tucki and the other is looking for a BYD OEM tram, but when it comes to making money, it is unambiguous. In 2022, Volkswagen Group, Toyota Motor Corporation, Stellantis Group, Mercedes-Benz and Tesla all recorded net profits of more than 10 billion US dollars, reaching 24 billion US dollars, 18 billion US dollars, 17.8 billion US dollars, 15.8 billion US dollars and 12.6 billion US dollars respectively. As a leader in profit growth, Tesla’s annual net profit increased by 128% year-on-year. After that, a total of four companies achieved double-digit profit growth, namely Hyundai Motor 40%, Mercedes-Benz 34%, Stellantis Group 26% and Volkswagen Group 12.5%. Nissan’s performance has also improved significantly, while GM can maintain its previous high profit level.

Chart 19 Car Enterprises with the Highest Net Profit in 2022 (Source: Annual Reports of Companies)

In contrast, Xiaomi. When the car was announced in 2021, Xiaomi Group was climbing after listing. In 2020, Xiaomi’s revenue increased by 19% year-on-year to 245.9 billion yuan, and its net profit increased by 103% year-on-year to 20.3 billion yuan. However, Xiaomi’s life has been difficult recently. In 2022, the company achieved revenue of 280.044 billion yuan, down 14.7% year-on-year. From the perspective of specific business, the company’s smartphone business revenue decreased by 19.9% year-on-year, and the shipment volume decreased by more than 3.9 million units, a decrease of 20.9%, which was higher than the overall decline of the industry. In addition, the company’s IoT and consumer products business also recorded the first year-on-year decline since listing.

Chart 20 Revenue of Xiaomi Group (Source: Xiaomi Annual Report)

Xiaomi’s main problem at present is how to save the slightly declining mobile phone market and improve revenue efficiency. The smart tram business can make money, but only a car company like Tesla, whose scale effect is already very terrible, is qualified to make money. Even BYD, GAC Ai ‘an and Ideality dare not guarantee that their tram business has made a steady profit. Therefore, in such a green and yellow environment, Xiaomi is still throwing a lot of money into the car-making business. The main purpose is not to expect it to bring high returns in the short term.

Everything is for the fans.

At the 21st conference, Reske always emphasized the inspiration brought by rice noodles. "As long as Xiaomi dares to make it, we dare to buy it." This is the message that Lei Jun repeatedly mentioned, and the rice noodles gave Xiaomi.

In fact, from Xiaomi’s various attempts over the years, I can realize that Xiaomi is really thinking about how to make products suitable for consumers, or how to design products to better meet the needs of consumers. Lei Jun mentioned in his speech that Xiaomi wanted to make a touching car for rice noodles. Regardless of whether this attempt is correct or not, Lei Jun’s respect for consumers is real. One thing that Tesla’s products have always been criticized and controversial is that Tesla constantly challenges consumers’ inherent habits with its own designs. From the irrevocable kinetic energy recovery/single pedal mode to the cancelled physical buttons/dashboards, some consumers have adapted, or have been successfully educated, while others feel offended.

Chart 21 Tesla Controversy (Source Network)

What makes LI very popular is that Li Xiang, who comes from the background of product manager, successfully caters to consumers’ driving and even living habits with various design ingenuity and exaggerated high configuration, and has won the market’s affirmation and recognition. From this perspective, I believe that Reske, who has been immersed in the field of consumer electronics for many years, also has deeper feelings and creativity.

Back to the fan effect. Weilai has "Forbidden Weijun", BYD has "Difen", Tucki has "Pengyou", Tesla and Ideality also have their own thick fan groups.Doing things for fans is a good thing, because in the end, fans will become the strongest shield and the highest barrier of a brand.Think about the most difficult period of Weilai in 2019, and the "Forbidden Weijun" advertised Weilai from their own pockets; Think about the constant "rice circle" of the car circle, various public relations means emerge in an endless stream, and fans scold and chatter.

Grow up with Xiaomi

After revisiting the whole press conference in 21 years and the press conference in 22 or 23 years, I always have the feeling that Lei Jun’s ambition is not only to win the mobile phone market, but also to do IoT, but to truly turn Xiaomi into a powerful R&D, design and manufacturing enterprise.

Chart 22 Growing up with Xiaomi (Source Network)

Lei Jun said that it took Xiaomi ten years to enter the world’s top 500 companies and gain a firm foothold in the mobile phone market. With money and people, why can’t it be bigger and stronger? There is no doubt that the automobile is the heavy weapon of a country. I always think that besides aircraft and rockets, the automobile can best reflect the manufacturing level of a country. There are many developed countries in the world, but few can make good cars. In the past, China’s automobile industry was unable to master the core technologies of engines and gearboxes, and always lagged behind the world. In the era of trams, China has found a shortcut to overtake. With the advantages of electrification and intelligence, China has laid a solid foundation on the electric car track. Wei Xiaoli appeared, the joint venture brand entered, Huawei Apple followed, and Xiaomi came.

Like Li Bin, He Xiaopeng and Li Xiang, Lei Jun is also an outstanding entrepreneur who has started many businesses and succeeded many times. After Jinshan, Lei Jun has been financially free, so it is time to realize his dream of life. Starting from a bowl of millet porridge in Zhongguancun, Beijing, Xiaomi Group set sail. However, I believe Lei Jun is not satisfied with the fact that Xiaomi’s mobile phone is not self-produced but OEM. So he directly invested and set up a factory in Yizhuang, and promised that Xiaomi Automobile would realize all its own production. Lei Jun has the confidence to accompany Xiaomi to grow up and become a century-old enterprise with unambiguous design, research and development, and manufacturing.

Write it at the end

I have a friend for many years who calls himself "half a rice noodle". From Xiaomi MIX 2S, he entered the pit of Xiaomi, and then upgraded Xiaomi 10 pro and Xiaomi 12S ultra.

Chart 23 Xiaomi 12S ultra (source network)

I asked him, "Why do you like millet?"

"I think Xiaomi’s things are quite interesting."

"Interesting? What is interesting? "

"Xiaomi’s own UI, and Xiao Ai’s classmates."

"Little love classmates? You usually use a voice assistant? I may not use siri three times a year. "

"I don’t use it very much, but after I bought a little love speaker for my mother, she now calls little love classmates for something. It’s quite convenient to turn on the TV, air conditioner and light. "

"Then will you buy Xiaomi’s car?"

"A generation will definitely not buy it, even if it is10,000 yuan."

"Do you really think about Xiaomi car? Aren’t you afraid of being said to be a leek?"

"So I won’t buy a generation, and then I’ll see if the products are done well."

"Are you willing to pay a brand premium to Xiaomi?"

"That shouldn’t happen for a while."

"Mainly value the cost performance?"

"That’s for sure."

As mentioned above, Lei Jun made an article with the concept of "building a car for fans" from beginning to end at the press conference. But then again, as Henry Ford famously said, "If I had asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me:’ A faster horse.’ Jobs once said, "Did Bell do any market research before he invented the telephone?" . If Lei Jun really caters to consumers and his fans in the end, then the high probability result of Xiaomi Automobile is to build an ordinary tram that can drive in the current Red Sea of Wang Yang. If it is better, it may be the second Tucki. If it is more ordinary, it may be the second zero run, but there is an upper limit after all.

To tell the truth, people who change the world are those who dare to dream and seek. I sincerely hope that Reebs/Reske’s last venture in his career will really bring something new to the smart tram market. Xiaomi doesn’t need to be the second XXX, just need to keep its own style-make something interesting, and then make sincere friends with consumers with high cost performance.

　 　 CEO Wei Zhang was busy with the company’s listing, but he learned that Chairman He Zhongping wanted his daughter He Qi to take over the company, so he decided to think for his own interests, so he joined hands with Wang Dawei to implement a mysterious plan and tried to change places another day.

　　CCTV News: Recently, a netizen named Jin Zengmin from Zhejiang said in his Weibo that he was willing to pay 200,000 yuan to invite the environmental protection director of Ruian, Zhejiang Province to "swim" in the river for 20 minutes. The reason is that during the Spring Festival this year, when he returned to his hometown of Ryan, he found that a river with beautiful scenery at his doorstep was now seriously polluted. This Weibo was forwarded by netizens, which aroused widespread concern in society. This Friday, the reporter came to Jinguang Village, Xian Jiang, Rui ‘an, a heavily polluted river.

　　Reporter: This is the river published in Weibo. In Xianjiang Town of Rui ‘an, there are many rivers passing through the town like this, so it is so ordinary that it doesn’t even have a name. After the incident, the local government also cleaned up the river to some extent, but now I still smell a pungent and sour smell when I stand by the river. So what is its water quality now? We can now see from the visual inspection that it is very turbid.

　　Reporter: When you get down to this river, you will feel that there is more water in this state of the river, which is still white and dirty.

　　There is silt in it, and the measured water is very turbid, and there are many things with this sediment. There are also floating domestic garbage and a lot of sundries in it, so what is the water quality of it? We want to carry out some tests through some professional institutions. In such a river, let alone swimming, it is very difficult to accept it when standing in such a position to see such a river.

　　With the water samples taken, we came to Ruian Environmental Monitoring Station, and the staff began to test the water samples.

　　Reporter: What is the result of the test now?

　　Zhou Senlin, Ruian Environmental Monitoring Station: After our afternoon test, the concentration of chemical oxygen demand of this water sample is 126 mg per liter.

　　Reporter: In layman’s terms, what is its pollution level?

　　Zhou Linsen: According to the content of COD (chemical oxygen demand), this water quality belongs to the environmental quality standard of surface water, which is inferior to five categories.

　　Reporter: That’s the worst gear.

　　Zhou Linsen: Right.

　　Reporter: What kind of impact will such pollution have in the local area?

　　Zhou Linsen: It should be said that according to the COD content, it should belong to organic pollution. Organic pollution is caused by various reasons, such as domestic sewage, such as industrial garbage, and wastewater soaked in rain, which may cause high COD (chemical oxygen demand).

　　COD seriously exceeds the standard, pungent smell and garbage can be seen everywhere. For this seriously polluted regional river, we interviewed Bao Zhenming, the director of Ruian Environmental Protection Bureau. On this day, Bao Zhenming was transferred from Ruian Safety Supervision Bureau to Environmental Protection Bureau for 11 months.

　　Reporter: If the pollution situation like this lasts for such a long time, is it possible to cause some deep pollution to groundwater?

　　Bao Zhenming: Pollution definitely exists, I think.

　　Reporter: Have you evaluated the relationship between the local water quality and groundwater?

　　Bao Zhenming: We did it to the water body, and our testing station in Ryan did it, and the result was done. That is to say, there is more domestic sewage in it.

　　Reporter: What is the test you didn’t do?

　　Bao Zhenming: It’s the groundwater you mentioned, that is, we haven’t done anything about the soil, and there is no oxygen value involved. Maybe you reminded me next, and I also suggested that they should do it.

　　Reporter: What else will you test next?

　　Bao Zhenming: The next step is to focus on polluting enterprises, that is, chemical enterprises and electroplating enterprises, that is, major polluting enterprises. We have to test the water and gas it emits, and we have to test the surrounding environment. Test regularly.

　　On the second day after the Weibo incident, the environmental protection director who was invited to swim rushed to the scene, which shocked Bao Zhenming.

　　Reporter: After the Weibo incident, I don’t know what kind of influence it has brought to you personally, because many people may feel embarrassed when they see it?

　　Bao Zhenming: After publishing information in Weibo, I said that the opportunity for environmental protection work has come.

　　Reporter: Do you see it as an opportunity?

　　Bao Zhenming: Yes, why? We have awakened, and some people have already awakened to the environment.

　　Reporter: After this incident, did you have any contact with Mr. Jin who published Weibo?

　　Bao Zhenming: Yes. I called. I said thank you. If every citizen loves his hometown as much as he does, and all our units have been moving for a long time, then this thing will not happen.

　　Reporter: You don’t care about such negative reports?

　　Bao Zhenming: I am really calm. Do people say you are under pressure? There is definitely pressure, and I’m worried.

　　Reporter: What are you worried about?

　　Bao Zhenming: This shows that some of our work has not been done properly. Through these things, the whole society will be aroused to pay attention to our environmental protection work. Then some environmental protection work is helpless, and some efforts are not enough. Through this matter, I believe it will definitely change and improve.

　　After the Weibo incident, the relevant departments of Ruian City have started to clean up the river garbage and rectify the pollution. This Friday, at the river pollution point in Jinguang Village, we saw several workers cleaning the river surface, but the cleaning work was slow due to the narrow access road.

　　Reporter: How long has it been cleaned here?

　　Cleaner: It has been cleaned for several days.

　　Reporter: What is the task for you to clean up?

　　Cleaner: Just pick up the garbage on it first, and pick up the dirty ones first.

　　Reporter: So where do these rubbish go?

　　Cleaner: There’s a garbage dump over there. Put it in the garbage dump.

　　Reporter: Go to the garbage dump.

　　Cleaner: Take it to the top later, and then drag it to the garbage dump.

　　Bing Gu: From this position, we can see that the river is basically shallow, and the related cleaning work is still going on. However, if we really only control the garbage on the river surface, it may be difficult to change the cleanliness of the river.

　　Since the early 1990s, with the rise of Ruian Industry, small local processing plants have developed rapidly. In Xianjiang Town, a small place, the factory buildings of enterprises were built along the river in disorder.

　　Reporter: Judging from the salvaged garbage, besides domestic garbage, there are many rubber wastes left over from industrial processing. On both sides of this river, we see few houses, all of which are very dense small shoe processing factories. Then some of the wastewater and waste residue generated by these processing plants will be discharged into the river I just saw. So which departments should be responsible for such supervision of some pollution of these enterprises?

　　There is a serious pollution problem in the rivers in Jinguang Village. The Ruian Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government held a special mobilization meeting for river regulation, asking the Environmental Protection Bureau to take the lead, and the water conservancy, health, municipal administration, industry and commerce, local streets and other units actively cooperated to comprehensively carry out garbage cleaning and pollution regulation. However, in the past few days, the Environmental Protection Bureau, as the lead department, has always encountered helplessness in its work.

　　Reporter: Where did something go wrong?

　　Bao Zhenming: All our departments are equal to us, which means you have to supervise and give unified guidance. I don’t think the intensity of this work is enough.

　　Reporter: Do you mean that this concept of peer-to-peer means how difficult it will be to coordinate?

　　Bao Zhenming: Small horse-drawn carts.

　　Reporter: What is a pony? What is a cart?

　　Bao Zhenming: Pony, I think it is our Environmental Protection Bureau, and we are also a bureau. That is to say, there are more than a dozen environmental management departments.

　　Reporter: Can’t Pony do it alone?

　　Bao Zhenming: We do this by ourselves. That is to say, like river regulation, our responsibilities are different, like environmental sanitation management, which is beyond our jurisdiction.

　　Reporter: What kind of area is the responsibility of the environmental protection department?

　　Bao Zhenming: Supervision.

　　Reporter: Is anyone actually doing such supervision work?

　　Bao Zhenming: At present, we have not carried out this work very well. This may still be a mechanism.

　　Reporter: What kind of mechanism does the mechanism refer to?

　　Bao Zhenming: We just mean peer-to-peer units. How can we supervise them?

　　Reporter: If you find that this river is polluted now, as an environmental protection department, do you have the right to enforce the law to inform enterprises or relevant departments?

　　Bao Zhenming: We are involved not only in rivers, but also in other departments, that is to say, if this pollution belongs to which department and you are going to rectify it, then we will definitely inform you by letter. If it is done well or not, that is another matter. But through this matter, our environmental protection department will definitely do so in the future.

　　In the course of river regulation, the Environmental Protection Bureau has also stepped up its efforts and sent people to inspect the surrounding areas of polluted rivers.

　　Bao Zhenming: These days. Last night, I had two groups of people patrolling.

　　Reporter: What to do?

　　Bao Zhenming: It’s just an inspection, to see if the enterprise has illegally discharged industrial wastewater and dumped industrial garbage. But if you are there for 24 hours, I don’t think that’s possible, but I believe it will have some effect.

　　Reporter: But this morning, we also took a video in the river. You can take a look. Just next to the river, an enterprise is still throwing some garbage into the river.

　　Bao Zhenming: It may be that we are not avoiding this issue at present. This kind of emission. Generally speaking, when our staff are not there, he secretly dumps those industrial wastes while others are not paying attention. Our current Feiyun environmental management office, the next Feiyun environmental management office, has three streets under its supervision, and there is only one village with only five people.

　　Reporter: How big is the area he wants to manage?

　　Bao Zhenming: The area is nearly 20 square kilometers. Yesterday, we made a special study. We specially transferred seven personnel from other institutes, including the departments in our bureau, to give priority to supporting them there. In this case, we say that we should immediately file a case and punish it. If it is serious, we can shut it down.

　　In the interview, we walked into a company next to the river.

　　Reporter: Why should everyone build on this river?

　　Business owner Jin Qiudi: This is what may have been planned before.

　　Reporter: Planned?

　　Business owner Jin Qiudi: Yes.

　　Reporter: But what kind of state will water like you be discharged into this river? Because it is not being discharged now, I don’t know what kind of water will be discharged.

　　Business owner Jin Qiudi: It should be very clean, and the water discharged should be absolutely clean.

　　This shoe-making enterprise was established at the end of 2012 and is now in the trial operation stage. After the Weibo incident, this shoe factory was ordered to stop work because the environmental protection approval procedures were not completed.

　　Reporter: Without EIA, can we start trial operation directly?

　　Jin Qiudi, the business owner: I’ve just done this right now, and I still don’t understand some policies. Here’s the thing.

　　Reporter: How long have you lived in this town?

　　Business owner Jin Qiudi: I am in the town. I was born here, grew up here, and is here.

　　Reporter: Do you remember what this river looked like when you were a child?

　　Business owner Jin Qiudi: When I was a child, it was ok when there was no industry at that time.

　　Reporter: Did you swim in the river when you were young?

　　Business owner Jin Qiudi: Traveling is traveling.

　　Reporter: Have you ever swam?

　　Business owner Jin Qiudi: Mm-hmm.

　　Reporter: Have you also swam in the river?

　　Jin Qiudi, the business owner: I have also had it.

　　Reporter: but now this situation may never be seen again.

　　Jin Qiudi, the business owner: Anyway, I think it’s all the same in China.

　　Reporter: Why do you say that all China is like this?

　　Jin Qiudi, the business owner: That is to say, the whole economic development of China in recent years has definitely suffered from a loss of environment. This is, and should be.

　　Reporter: Do you think this river can be restored to its clear state in the past?

　　Adhering to zero tolerance and strict punishment is one of the measures for river regulation in Jinguang Village. After the incident, the Environmental Protection Bureau re-examined the environmental approval of many small enterprises in Ruian, resolutely banned unlicensed enterprises and rectified enterprises that did not meet environmental standards.

　　Reporter: But we saw many small shoe processing factories on both sides of the river today. Have they been approved by environmental protection?

　　Bao Zhenming: Certainly not.

　　Reporter: Why do you continue to operate there?

　　Bao Zhenming: We also found that we are now rectifying this kind of enterprises and legal enterprises immediately, and all those that have not been approved will be banned.

　　Reporter: We saw an enterprise today, which has just opened and is in trial production, but it has not been approved by environmental protection.

　　Bao Zhenming: We have turned off two. Some enterprises, that is to say, the doors and equipment have not completely cut off its power supply, or they may start work without authorization.

　　Reporter: Isn’t this kind of law enforcement a mere formality?

　　Bao Zhenming: So this is what we need to look back on in law enforcement. We can’t say that as soon as the seal is posted today and the law enforcement notice has been delivered, we think that the law enforcement has been terminated. That’s not true. Look back in a week or two, so we are all doing the work next. If it is found again, it will be punished in this field, and then we will apply to the court for enforcement.

　　However, if the environmental protection department applies to the court for legal procedures to enforce environmental protection, it still faces many difficulties.

　　Bao Zhenming: Then we decided to inform, file a case, talk and issue a penalty notice. This process. If it is finished, it will take at least half a year.

　　Reporter: What are the constraints on enterprises in the past six months?

　　Bao Zhenming: In the past six months, the illegal activities of that enterprise are still here, and some still exist.

　　Reporter: You can only watch, but there is nothing you can do.

　　Bao Zhenming: Yes, we are in a hurry. Therefore, the common people are still dissatisfied with the destruction of the environment, so we should change this situation as soon as possible.

　　Reporter: Can there be a faster way?

　　Bao Zhenming: Not yet. So we’re still saying the same thing. If there are any more difficulties, I will definitely call you, too.

　　Reporter: What do you want from us?

　　Bao Zhenming: I want you to help us appeal to shorten the time of our punishment procedure and implement simple law enforcement as soon as possible.

　　Although there is helplessness, it is a fact that clear water turns into sewage and the mother river turns into a stinking ditch. We are concerned about when this river can return to the state of swimming and laundry in memory.

　　Reporter: During the interview, I asked a business owner next to a river. I asked him when we could see a clear river again. He didn’t answer me. Can you answer me?

　　Bao Zhenming: I believe that everyone hopes to see it in a short time, but I think that after the sewage pipe network is built in 2014, I estimate that in three to five years, the river will definitely improve, and our domestic sewage will not go in. I believe that the river will gradually clear up.

　　Reporter: Is this a promise?

　　Bao Zhenming: It can also be regarded as a promise.

　　Reporter: I hope that according to the time you promised, I can see an environmental protection director like you, who can really swim in that river, instead of being offered a reward and money to invite you.

　　Bao Zhenming: I look forward to it, too. I want to invite Mr. Gu, more comrades and more citizens to travel together. I think that day will definitely come.

　　Just as Jin Zengmin released the Weibo, he offered 200,000 yuan to invite the environmental protection director of Ruian City, Wenzhou to swim in the river. On February 19th, the environmental protection director of Cangnan County, Wenzhou City was invited to swim in the river again, and the price soared to 300,000 yuan. Connecting the two events of inviting the environmental protection director to swim in the river once again touched people’s environmental protection nerves. Offering a reward of 200,000 yuan and 300,000 yuan to invite the environmental protection director to swim in the river reflects the people’s anxiety and strong dissatisfaction. However, if we want to eradicate the pollution of the river, I am afraid it is not as simple as asking an environmental protection director to swim in the river. The reason why we are concerned about this incident is not only about this polluted river, but also that we hope to find a way to solve the helplessness and dilemma in environmental protection law enforcement through this incident. Of course, we also hope that the concern of the society can arouse everyone’s reflection.
