Chapter 249 Mr. Lei Talks About Cars
After listening to Mr. Lei's words, Guo Yuan was calm on the surface, but in fact he was already complaining in his heart.

To be honest, in Guo Yuan's opinion, it is not certain whether rice can make cars!Thinking about this now is not a bit too much.

The reason why Guo Yuan was willing to cooperate with Mr. Lei and also took the shares of Dami to make cars was not because Guo Yuan was so optimistic about Dami to make cars, but because Guo Yuan didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket.

Tesla has obtained the technology of future technology, but Tesla is also an "outsider" in any way, and it may not be possible to succeed with technology, so Guo Yuan chose to cooperate with Rice Car Manufacturing.

But compared to Zero one battery, rice-made cars are really nothing. Zero one battery is the first step in Guo Yuan’s overseas layout, and it is also a very important step. Rice-made cars are just a backup just in case. The status gap is too great.

Thinking of this, Guo Yuan deliberately changed the subject, he didn’t want to entangle Mr. Lei on the car battery issue: “Mr. Lei, I don’t know about the cooperation between BYD and Zero one battery, but I heard from my girlfriend that Zero one battery seems to have reached cooperation with ZF in Bingzhou, have you heard about it?"

"Zero one battery has reached a cooperation with Bingzhou zf? I don't know about this yet. Does Mr. Guo have any inside news?"

"I can't talk about internal information. My girlfriend's company is in Bingzhou. She has some connections there. I heard that Zero One Battery wants to get involved in the production of mobile phone batteries. They"

Guo Yuan deliberately disclosed some information to Mr. Lei. The core business of Rice Company at this stage is undoubtedly mobile phones.

Hearing what Guo Yuan said, Mr. Lei's expression immediately became serious.

The importance of mobile phone batteries and new energy vehicle batteries to Rice is completely two concepts.

However, Mr. Lei will not be out of control. The battery of rice mobile phone itself is produced by the foundry. factory.

It's just to pay some liquidated damages. Although the money is a lot, it can't reach the point where it hurts the muscles and bones.

However, this matter must be clarified as soon as possible. If it is true, Rice must take some measures.

"Mr. Guo, thank you for telling me about this."

"You're welcome, we are partners, we should help each other! Speaking of Mr. Lei, what are you doing here? It's been a long time, and you haven't mentioned the main point."

"Mr. Guo, do you know about the treasure ice cream incident at the auto show a while ago?" Mr. Lei asked with a smile.

"I know, I drive a BMW x5, and I was ridiculed!"

"Mr. Guo is really frugal. Mr. Guo had people from my company go to this auto show at the time, but the people in our company didn't go there to eat melons. They did research on the car series of major brands.

After reading their survey results, I noticed another thing. I found that the Nanbang car booth was not crowded, it can only be said that there were more cars than people. "

"Are Nan Bang's cars so unpopular? Why do I remember that Nan Bang's cars are not very famous?" Guo Yuan asked with a frown.

In Guo Yuan's impression, during the 08 Olympic Games, as soon as the TV was turned on, there were advertisements for Imperial Capital Hyundai, Elantra, and Accent.

At that time, Nanbang cars were constantly introducing new models, and they were cheap and had automatic transmissions. Many people would choose to buy Nanbang cars.

In 2013, the eighth-generation Sonata was launched, and immediately convinced the market with its strong product strength. The sporty style is very eye-catching, and it has become a generation of classics. This is the first car of Guo Yuan's father.

Guo Yuan remembers that he even heard a jingle called Diaosi has three treasures, Suo 8, K5, and Mai Ruibao.

Cable 8 was at the forefront, which shows how popular luxury cars were at that time.

Mr. Lei shook his head after listening to Guo Yuan's words and said: "It seems that Mr. Guo doesn't know much about the auto market! Now Nanbang's cars are just enough for the imperial capital.

The previously popular Kia and the luxury brand Genesis of Hyundai Group can only be described as sad reminders.

Mr. Guo, think about it, is the current news and social media of Nanbangguo's cars far less exposed than other brands? "

Guo Yuan heard the words and thought about it, it seems to be true. I don’t know when it started. Whether it’s the car mentioned by the friends around, or the car buying discussion on the Internet, the figure of the Nanbang car has gradually disappeared, especially this year, it is almost invisible. arrive.

"Indeed, Mr. Lei, you are right. There are indeed fewer and fewer cars around Nanbang."

"That's right! After reading the investigation report sent back by our company staff, my first reaction was that these guys were lazy and compiled the data for me casually, and then I went to check it myself.

As a result, to use the words that are more popular on the Internet now, I just couldn't hold back.

The survey results from my side show that Kia and all other southern brands combined have taken a sharp turn since they set a sales record of 2016 million units in China in 180. Sales have fallen for seven consecutive years, and the number has shrunk by more than [-]%.

Only 2022 units will be sold in 34.This figure is less than one-third of that of Chery Automobile, about one-seventh of that of Changan Automobile, accounting for only 1.27% of domestic auto sales.

What's even more outrageous is that even today in 2023, there is no sign of Nanbang Auto's decline. "

After listening to Mr. Lei's words, Guo Yuan was silent. Guo Yuan is not a pure novice in the automobile industry, and he also has a certain understanding of automobiles.

Since 2009, China has become the world's largest automobile consumer market, and it has been more than ten years now.

China's car sales are nearly twice that of No.2 America.

But according to Mr. Lei, Nanbangguo Automobile, which originally had good sales and reputation, has shrunk repeatedly in the world's largest market with the rapid growth of market capacity, so that it has become a little transparent. Outrageous, right?Why is this so?
Mr. Lei seemed to see Guo Yuan's doubts, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Guo, after a little research on the data, we know that in 2022, the trade volume of Zhongnan sticks will be 3622.9 billion US dollars, an increase of more than 2016% compared to 70.

In 2022, my country will purchase nearly 2000 billion U.S. dollars of South African products, an increase of more than 2016% compared to 60.

In the context of the substantial growth of original packaging and import trade, if the joint venture brand still blames the bad environment, isn’t it a bit suspicious of throwing the blame? "
