Nongfu Spring "not bad money": huge dividend 9.50 billion before listing, major shareholders share close to 90%
[Text | Interface, Yuan Yingqi]
Nongfu Spring, which has repeatedly said that there is no need to list, finally decided to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The company that mainly produces "a little sweet" mineral water has a financing scale of no more than 1 billion US dollars, but it is a high probability event that it will enter the 100 billion market value club after listing.
We carefully read the prospectus submitted by Nongfu Spring to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and found that the company had mixed feelings.
Nongfu Spring "not bad money"
Nongfu Spring was established in 1996, and its founder Zhong Liangyi holds 87.4% of the shares. The company’s main business contributes about 95% of the total operating income. The main products include drinking water, tea beverages, functional beverages and fruit juice beverages, accounting for 60%, 13%, 16% and 10% of the revenue respectively. Among them, drinking water and fruit juice beverages have grown rapidly.

According to the prospectus, Nongfu Spring has maintained steady growth in the past three years. From 2017 to 2019, the income was 17.491 billion yuan, 20.475 billion yuan and 24.021 billion yuan respectively, with a compound annual growth rate of 17.2%. Nongfu Spring achieved net profit of 3.385 billion yuan, 3.612 billion yuan and 4.954 billion yuan in the past three years, with a compound annual growth rate of 21.0%.

In 2019, the comprehensive gross profit margin of Nongfu Spring was as high as 55.4%. Mainly due to the gross profit margin of 60.2% of the largest drinking water product. The gross profit margins of other categories such as tea beverages, functional beverages and fruit juice beverages were 59.7%, 50.9% and 34.7% respectively.
In terms of net profit, the net profit rate of Nongfu Spring rose to 22.8% in 2019, of which sales expenses accounted for the largest proportion of the three fees. Specifically, sales expenses accounted for 24.2% of operating income, and the most important ones were transportation expenses and advertising expenses, which were 2.53 billion and 1.22 billion yuan respectively, accounting for 10.5% and 5.1% of operating income, respectively.
In terms of cash, Nongfu Spring adopts the first payment and then the goods transaction method, and the book receivables are very small. From 2017 to 2019, the company’s net operating cash inflow was greater than the net profit of the year, especially in 2019, the net operating cash inflow was as high as 8.73 billion yuan. From 2017 to 2019, the book structured deposits were 2.04 billion, 3.60 billion and 200 million yuan respectively. The average interest rate earned was between 4.0% and 4.9%.
The sharp decrease in cash in 2019 was due to the concentrated dividend of Nongfu Spring up to 9.50 billion yuan before listing. Among them, the major shareholders received 8.20 billion yuan. Previously, although Nongfu Spring also had annual dividends, the amount was 2-300 million yuan. And the total financing of Nongfu Spring is only 1 billion US dollars.It is certain that Nongfu Spring did not choose to go public because of a lack of funds.
What is the valuation after going public?
Master Kong Holdings, the equivalent producer of mineral water in Nongfu Spring, has been listed on the Hong Kong stock market. In 2019, Master Kong Holdings’ beverage business contributed HK $39.70 billion to operating income, which was greater than Nongfu Spring’s operating income. But net profit was only HK $3.72 billion, far less than Nongfu Spring’s 4.95 billion yuan.
At present, the market value of Tingyi Holdings is 77.20 billion Hong Kong dollars, corresponding to the price-to-earnings ratio of about 20.8 times in 2019. It is estimated that the total market value of Nongfu Spring after listing is at least about 130 billion Hong Kong dollars. In fact, Nongfu Spring is better than Tingyi Holdings in terms of profitability and growth, and the market may give a higher valuation.
According to the prospectus, the drinking water market is still in a stage of rapid development. According to Nielsen’s forecast, it is still expected to maintain a growth rate of about 10% in the next five years. Compared with the beer and condiment market, the drinking water market has more room. Based on the high concentration of the drinking water market, it is also possible to produce a leader with a larger market value than Budweiser Asia Pacific (1876.HK) and Haitian Flavor (603288.SH) in the long run. The average price-to-earnings ratio valuation of beer in the Hong Kong stock market is 30-40 times. The average valuation of soy sauce and vinegar in the class A share market is more than 40 times. Based on this, we have predicted the market value of Nongfu Spring.

The troubles of Nongfu Spring
Although the situation is good, Nongfu Spring is not a smooth road.
First of all, the drinking water business depends on the source of water, and the bottleneck facing the long-term growth of Nongfu Spring is the limited source of water. According to relevant laws and regulations, units and individuals who directly extract water from natural resources (such as rivers, lakes and groundwater) need to obtain a water extraction license and pay a water resource fee. Enterprises need to extract water according to the approved annual water extraction plan. Moreover, mineral water has the dual attributes of water resources and mineral resources. The production of mineral water should also apply for a mining license according to law. In other words, the scarcity of water sources on the one hand helps enterprises to establish high industry barriers, and on the other hand restricts enterprises to expand production capacity. It is conceivable that with the development of the industry, there are fewer and fewer untapped water sources.
The situation of Nongfu Spring’s newly obtained water sources in recent years is not optimistic. At present, Nongfu Spring has a total of 10 water sources. The main production bases are still Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang, Changbai Mountain in Jilin, Danjiangkou in Hubei and Wanlv Lake in Guangdong, which were obtained before 2005. With the increase in environmental awareness, the water withdrawal from water sources obtained by Nongfu Spring in recent years has become smaller and smaller. In 2019, the newly obtained water withdrawal from water sources was only 504 thousand cubic meters per year. Although the approved water withdrawal from water sources currently owned by Nongfu Spring is much larger than the actual production capacity of the company, the company does not have the problem of insufficient water withdrawal in the short term. However, products concentrated in water sources in Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jilin and Hubei are also limited by the transportation radius.
Nongfu Spring has less water sources that can produce mineral water, which is not conducive to product upgrades in the future. In addition, the average ton price of Nongfu Spring drinking water has declined for two consecutive years, the company explained, because of the increase in sales of large-packaged drinking water with lower unit prices. In the short term, Nongfu Spring may face the risk of lower gross margins.
Due to the scarcity of domestic water sources, Nongfu Spring has begun to go overseas. Nongfu Spring has acquired Otakiri Springs, a New Zealand bottled water company. The prospectus revealed that Nongfu Spring will look for suitable acquisition targets in the future. However, the overseas market is more mature than the Chinese market, and the growth space is limited. The risk of "going out" is really not small.

Secondly, Nongfu Spring also faces the problem of "succession". The company has five executive directors. Among them, the founder Zhong Shuzi currently serves as the chairperson and general manager of the company, with a shareholding of 87%. Appropriately reducing the founder’s shareholding ratio through listing can achieve the effect of optimizing the shareholding structure and reducing decision-making risks. At present, Zhong Shuzi is 66 years old and has been deeply involved in the operation of Nongfu Spring. Another executive director, Guo Zhen, deputy general manager in charge of the overall operation and production of Nongfu Spring, is also 62 years old. Zhong Shuzi, the son of Zhong Shuzi, is currently a non-executive director of the company and does not participate in daily operations. Zhong Shuzi joined the group in 2014 and is currently the general manager of Yangshengtang (Nongfu Spring Holding Company) Brand Center.
It is worth mentioning that at the same time as the listing of Nongfu Spring, another company controlled by founder Zhong Shanyuan, 603392.SH, landed on the class A share main board on April 29. The current market value is 6 billion yuan, and the daily limit has not been opened. In the Hurun wealth list in 2020, Zhong Shanyuan was listed with 14.10 billion yuan. With the listing of the above two companies, his worth is expected to rank among the top five on the rich list.
Meizu S6 is briefly disassembled: it turns out that Meizu small dots evolved like this
[PConline Disassembly]Last month, Meilan released a brand new S6 phone as the first celebration of this year. Although the Meilan S6 is not a high-end model, it has brought us breakthrough innovation in some aspects.
In the context of the popularity of full-screen mobile phones, the Meizu S6 has followed suit with this design concept. In addition, it boldly abandoned the previous waist-round solid button tradition and switched to the new interaction pattern of side fingerprint recognition + Super mBack. Now, we are going to have a simple teardown of this phone to see how the internal structure of the Meizu S6 with the new interaction pattern is.
As the first 18:9 full-screen mobile phone of Meizu Blue, the S6 is equipped with Samsung’s first full Netcom Exynos 7872 six-core processor, with a memory combination of up to 3GB RAM + 64GB ROM, a 5.7-inch full-screen design, a built-in 3000mAh capacity battery, support for 18W fast charging, and pre-installed Flyme 6.3 system based on Android 7.0 deep customization.
Detailed disassembly part
This time, we use the Moonlight Silver color scheme of the Meizu S6 as a disassembly equipment. According to the previous practice, the Meizu S6 is turned off first, and then after taking out the SIM card holder, we take out the small screwdriver prepared before to remove the two screws at the bottom.
After removing the bottom screws, I started to disassemble the fuselage. Since there was no crowbar ready for a while, the author had to use two suction cups to separate the two sides of the fuselage, and then use a plastic pick to remove the screen and the back case along the gap of the fuselage.
Disassemble the back case of the fuselage, you can see the main structure of the back of the mobile phone, the back of the fuselage is mainly divided into the main board, battery and sub-board and other common three-stage structure.
The main board of the fuselage has many ZIF connectors connected to the screen. The connectors are combined with ZIF and snap buttons, and a lot of black foam is specially fixed in the back area.
There are some small screws around the edge of the main board to fix, just remove these screws and disconnect the ZIF connector to separate the main board and the fuselage.
Looking at the rear shell part of the fuselage, we found that there is a large area of metal conductive stickers in the main board coverage area, which can also have a certain thermal conductivity while preventing static electricity.
As the first mobile phone to use side fingerprint recognition, the S6 is also very attentive to the 10-channel touchpoint connection with the shrapnel on the main board, so as not to cause damage due to cable displacement, reducing the difficulty of maintenance, and the 10-channel design also guarantees the efficiency of fingerprint data transmission.
The fingerprint recognition module has a one-piece design, which not only reduces the difficulty of disassembly, but also reduces the risk of tearing the cable when separating the fuselage. We remove the fingerprint module holder with tweezers, and then remove the fingerprint holder from the fuselage at the bottom of the module.
The battery module of the fuselage is fixed by superglue, and the battery capacity reaches 3000mAh, 11.28Wh. It also supports the 18W fast charging solution of 9V2A.
The bottom sub-board is covered by a speaker module and has 7 small screws to fix it. After removing the screws with a screwdriver, you can see that the sub-board is connected with a data interface, a headphone interface, and a vibration module, which is connected to the sub-board by welding.
Further disassembly revealed that the pressure sensing obtained by the Charm Blue S6 touching the small dots was derived from this linear vibration motor.
Linear motors generally appeared in high-end models in previous years. Linear motors can bring a softer vibration sensation, and can be found between the tail plug and the battery. When users touch small dots to achieve mBack, they can provide a relatively short feedback loop, greatly improving the speed and stability of small dot vibration.
Meilan S6 is made of all-metal nano-injection molding process to create the back shell of the fuselage. The back cover also uses a specific type of zirconium sand as the back cover of the whole machine for multiple sandblasts, which is more attentive to the fuselage process.
Disassembly summary
After simply disassembling the internal structure of the Meizu S6, it can be found that the disassembly difficulty of this phone is not too large, and the structural layout inside is also more traditional. This internal design also conforms to the body positioning characteristics of the Meizu S6.
Since the Meizu S6 uses side fingerprint recognition for the first time, it is different from the usual structure of previous Meizu mobile phones, and special attention needs to be paid when disassembling. In addition, the connection between the internal fuselage structure and parts of the Meizu S6 is not complicated, and the workmanship is also very solid. The details are also fixed with foam.
Overall, with the new trend of side fingerprint interaction and full-screen design, coupled with careful design and workmanship, the Meizu S6 can still be regarded as a young product with innovative personality.
"Digital technology senior-friendly" helps the elderly embrace a better digital life
Once a year, the autumn wind is strong, and it is the Double Ninth Festival full of chrysanthemums. In the digital age of the Double Ninth Festival, how should we carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation of filial piety and respect for the elderly? Recently, under the guidance of the relevant policies of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the information and communication industry has taken active actions to carry out a variety of digital technology senior-friendly activities across the country to help the elderly enjoy a more comfortable, convenient and beautiful digital life.
Internet application transformation helps the elderly cross the "digital divide"
"Let’s go to the market!" On the morning of the 20th, the Party and Mass Service Center of Shanghai Ganquan Road Street Community held a special market. Unlike the traditional market, this was a "suitable market for the elderly" to display innovative digital products. Under the organization of the Shanghai Municipal Communications Administration, 14 companies, including basic telecommunications companies and Internet companies, "set up stalls" to display functions such as "barrier-free reading" and "barrier-free payment methods" for the elderly. The event attracted many of the elderly to the scene, and everyone was eager to try it. They couldn’t wait to experience the suitable functions of various apps. The scene was full of joy and laughter.
"I don’t usually use my mobile phone to buy things. I came to participate in the event today and found that it is so convenient to buy medicine and vegetables on my mobile phone. The characters are large and the content is clear." Grandma Zhang, who lives nearby, said with a smile.
The function design of mobile apps is becoming more and more "suitable for the elderly", which is inseparable from the country’s efforts in digital technology senior-friendly. In recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has organized a special project on the transformation of Internet applications senior-friendly across the country, guiding Internet websites and apps commonly used in the lives of the elderly to carry out senior-friendly functions and service upgrades, covering news and information, social communication, life shopping, financial services, travel, medical care and other high-frequency life scenarios for the elderly.
It is reported that a total of 1924 websites and apps have completed senior-friendly transformation, "large font, large icon, high contrast, simple functional interface" of the elder mode makes many of the elderly eye-catching, many specially designed features for the elderly, but also fully consider the needs and characteristics of the elderly. For example, the elderly who cannot read or read can happily chat with their children online by "listening to text messages", the elderly who cannot type can easily shop online through "voice search for goods", the elderly who have difficulty in legs and feet and going out can seek medical treatment online through "telephone consultation", prescribe medicine, and the elderly who cannot understand the operation prompts of the App can complete human-machine verification through "waiting for the countdown", etc. The elderly are more and more handy in the face of various websites and mobile apps. The "digital divide" problem encountered in the face of intelligent technology difficulties is gradually being eliminated by the senior-friendly achievements of digital technology, and the elderly friends can also enjoy digital life.
The new generation of information technology empowers barrier-free information exchange
"Is it true that the video call can display subtitles in this film? I can’t hear the voice of my children on the phone when I’m old, so how can I use this product?" Grandpa Wang consulted China Mobile’s staff. While watching the Double Ninth Festival promotional video in the Beijing Mobile business hall, he saw China Mobile’s senior-friendly smart products and services specially designed for the elderly and their children, so he went to the special hall of senior customer experience with great interest to "immerse" and experience the convenience and intelligence brought by the new generation of information technology.
China Mobile has implemented the relevant policy requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, innovatively launched the "5G New Call" function, integrated and introduced artificial intelligence real-time processing technology, and realized functions such as voice-to-text, real-time translation between Chinese and English, as well as mobile phone screen sharing and children’s remote collaboration during the call. In particular, the voice-to-text function has been upgraded to a "large-character version", which is equivalent to a call with large subtitles. When the elderly use this function to call, they can not only hear clearly, but also "see" and "see clearly" the content of the call, which is very convenient.
The Barrier-free Environment Construction Law, which was officially implemented on September 1, proposes that the state should promote the application of new scientific and technological achievements in the construction of a barrier-free environment, and encourage the research and development, production, application and promotion of barrier-free technologies, products and services. It is understood that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will coordinate and combine the actual development of digital technology senior-friendly, guide the new generation of information technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and big data to deeply empower senior-friendly transformation and upgrading, vigorously support the transformation of relevant scientific and technological achievements, support the integration and application of emerging technologies in voice control, limb control, automatic speech recognition, etc., and help the elderly and other special groups share information development results by building a barrier-free environment with smooth information and comfortable experience.
The senior-friendly service capabilities of basic telecom enterprises have been significantly improved
On the eve of the Double Ninth Festival, the business halls of basic telecommunications companies in various places are lively. Huangshan Xin’an North Road Telecom Business Hall enters the University for the Elderly to teach the elderly how to use Apps, Jiangsu Suzhou Renmin Road Telecom Business Hall enters the community to send scarves to the elderly, Beijing Mobile Caishikou Business Hall plays a promotional video to explain the "one-click access to manual customer service" hotline for the elderly, Guangdong Unicom sets up a preferential area for the Double Ninth Festival in each business hall to launch the exclusive preferential package for the elderly, Daishan Unicom enters Gaoting Home Care Agency to give the elderly free haircuts…
In the digital age, many of the elderly are accustomed to offline services gradually switched to online, and traditional telephone manual customer service is gradually replaced by artificial intelligence customer service. The elderly generally report that they cannot handle business online and cannot understand artificial intelligence customer service prompts. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology pays great attention to the "slow crowd" in the "fast era", insists on the parallel innovation of traditional service methods and intelligent services, and guarantees that some of the elderly who do not use the Internet at all can use basic telecommunications services conveniently. According to the reporter’s observation, under the guidance of relevant policies, the three basic telecommunications enterprises have set up special seats for the elderly in the offline business hall, launched the elderly exclusive preferential tariffs, large-character bills, and the elderly over 65 years old "one-click call into manual customer service" and other services, regularly organize service personnel training, and effectively provide the elderly with enthusiastic, sincere and patient high-quality telecommunications services.
In the digital age, the heart-warming story of senior-friendly in the information and communication industry has just begun. Let’s hope that, under the promotion of departments such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, more and more senior-friendly functions and services can meet the elderly, give them "digital wings" for their later life, and share "digital dividends".

Wild hipsters "celebrate the New Year" in advance! The wildness of the Great Wall gun locomotive gun strikes
Put on a cool leather coat, put on a flamboyant helmet, get on a handsome off the charts motorcycle, indulge in the deserted field or desert, feel the wind whizzing by my ears, and only have a long way to go in my eyes. This is the fastest way of life I can think of. But the reality is always very skinny. I finally saved money to buy a heavy-duty motorcycle. I found that the city where I lived was forbidden to ride motorcycles, and there were no suitable tools to take to the suburbs. If I didn’t pay attention, I actually abandoned it for several months. Until recently, I heard that the Great Wall Gun produced a motorcycle gun that was linked with the locomotive circle dream. My spring is finally coming …
Extra-large container, easy loading of heavy locomotive
There is a saying, the Great Wall Gun locomotive gun can be said to be a treasure car tailored for our motorcycle enthusiasts. First of all, it has always been a headache for me to transport the locomotive out of the no-motorcycle area. First, my locomotive is relatively large, and the general truck simply can’t hold it. Second, even if the container is large enough, how to put the locomotive on it is a difficult problem, and the Great Wall Gun locomotive gun has solved all these two problems.
The locomotive gun is designed with two doors and two seats. The super-long wheelbase of 3470mm makes the container size reach an astonishing 2,475 mm x 1,520 mm x 540 mm, and with the super bearing capacity of 1.4 tons, most locomotives on the market can be easily installed in it. In addition, the locomotive guns are equipped with 2.5-ton trailer qualification+trailer power intake and trailer installation port as standard, making travel more legal and compliant.
In order to solve the problem of locomotive loading and unloading, the whole system of locomotive guns comes standard with container ramp ladder slots, and also provides two optional motorcycle racks: single and double cars. The locomotive frame adopts high-strength winch slide rail mechanism. By remote control of winch, one person can basically easily complete the loading and unloading of locomotive. At the same time, the perfect combination of the front wheel special fixing device and the nylon buckle strap also enhances the stability to the greatest extent, which can ensure the locomotive in the container to be safe and sound no matter the bumpy mountain road or the steep off-road road conditions.
High-level intelligence makes it easy to travel in the wild.
Not only that, the Great Wall Gun locomotive gun also inherits the "high intelligence" in the family gene, and is equipped with a new generation of intelligent voice control system, mobile phone remote control system, and optional intelligent driving assistance system. ACC adaptive cruise, lane centering, lane departure warning, lane merging assistance, reversing lateral warning, and 360-degree look-around system are all available, which greatly reduces the travel pressure. For example, when driving at high speed, I can start ACC adaptive cruise, so that the vehicle can follow the car at a safe distance, and my right foot is relaxed to the greatest extent, making full preparations for the later cross-country motorcycle.
It is worth mentioning that the performance of the Great Wall Gun is also quite outstanding in terms of power. The 2.0T+8AT power combination, TOD intelligent timely four-wheel drive system and the optional rear axle electronically controlled differential lock directly fill the powerful passability and excellent off-road capability of the motorcycle gun. In this way, the motorcycle gun can easily pass in the face of suburban mountain roads, muddy roads and even professional off-road fields, preparing for me to indulge in racing.
At present, motorcycle gun partners are recruiting all over the country. Successful motorcycle gun partners can not only enjoy the exclusive car purchase benefits of the top 100, but also get rich benefits by recommending friends to buy motorcycle guns. In addition, high-quality partners can also obtain multiple benefits such as the regional operation right of the Locomotive Academy and the deposit-free deposit of locomotive peripheral products in the Great Wall Gun APP Mall. Forget it, I have to hurry to sign up!
Editor in charge:
The entry-level configuration is also very rich. BYD Han’s four models are exposed.

Thanks to the body design concept of "front circle and rear", the drag coefficient of the new car is only 0.233Cd. The front of the new car adopts a closed grille, and the long and narrow LED light groups are connected by an iconic Dragon Face strip, and the LOGO position in the middle is engraved with the "Han" logo. There is a flat trapezoidal air inlet below, and a triangular air inlet on both sides. The penetrating semi-enclosed decorative strip further increases the texture and recognition of the front of the car.
On the side of the car body, the coupe-shaped lines are very obvious, and the door handle is hidden. The front of the D-pillar is decorated with unique chrome plating, which is said to be inspired by "Long Lin". The new car adopts a brand-new five-position wheel hub, which can effectively reduce wind resistance. The shape of the rear part of the car body is full and the lines are rich. A straight through taillight is used, and the middle part is marked with "BUILD YOUR DREAMS". In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4980mm, 1910mm and 1495mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2920mm.
Chinese DM ※
Compared with the grille-free front face of Han EV,Han DM models have different front face modeling schemes, using bright large mouth front grille similar to Qin Pro, Song Pro, Tang and other models, and using advanced gray car paint.
At the same time, the car will also provide two kinds of tyre size, 245/50 R18 and 245/45 R19, for consumers to choose from. The new car will provide panoramic skylights and various styles of rim shapes.
Wind resistance design of super-running stage ※
BYD Han successfully completed the wind tunnel test at the Shanghai Ground Vehicle Wind Tunnel Center, the busiest wind tunnel in Asia. The test results show that Han’s drag coefficient is only 0.233. This fully shows that BYD has reached the world’s leading technical level in body design and engineering manufacturing technology, and at the same time, it also shows BYD’s development ideas for Han models: to build an elegant style, collect BYD’s top technical resources, and build a new generation flagship car that conforms to the concept of low carbon and environmental protection.
Byd Han can achieve a drag coefficient of 0.233 (the drag coefficient of Tesla Model S is 0.24), which first benefits from the high integration of first-class modeling design and pneumatic engineering. Wolfgang Eiger, global design director of BYD, said: At the beginning of development, Han clearly wanted to realize the integration of beautiful design and high performance. Therefore, from the beginning, modeling design took the realization of ultra-low drag coefficient as an important goal.
Byd Han’s smooth lines from the front of the car, the roof to the rear of the car, every inch of the direction is based on the full consideration and in-depth study of the impact on airflow. This means that the resistance caused by the friction between the air and the car body is minimized, and at the same time, it will not cause the air to be thrown away from the car body, resulting in a low pressure area on the roof, reducing the downforce obtained by the car body and affecting the handling stability.
In the design of the front face, Han’s front cabin cover starts from a lower position than before, and the rounded arc outlines the smooth lines of the front face outline, which not only brings greater pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the car body, but also obtains greater downforce, further ensuring the fit between the airflow and the car body.
Subsequently, the drop-shaped rearview mirror, hidden door handle and other designs fully integrated practical functions and low wind resistance characteristics, which cooperated with the smooth passage of airflow. Starting from the C-pillar, the upper part of the cabin gradually narrows, forming a beautiful and powerful wide shoulder shape, and also continuing the airflow direction that fits the car body.
Pneumatic separation of the tail, through the elegant and powerful pneumatic separation design on both sides of the tail, the airflow on both sides of the car body leaves almost in a straight line after coming to the tail, avoiding being involved in the vortex area of the tail, and realizing the ingenious integration of beautiful design and low wind resistance.
2. Interior Chinese aesthetic design (importent information)
The overall design of BYD Han center console is balanced and symmetrical, with the large-size suspended central control panel as the center, extending to the ends of the left and right door panels along the central axis, outlining a core line that connects the first half of the cockpit, creating a full sense of embrace.
According to the manufacturer, this brand-new design language originated from the Forbidden City complex. Designers drew a lot of inspiration from the architectural arrangement and unique structural techniques in the Forbidden City, making BYD Han a perfect integration of Chinese architectural aesthetics and technological trends.
The whole interior of the new car is designed with red and black contrast colors, and red leather decoration is added in many details of the steering wheel and door panel lights, with all-red seats, which further enhances the luxury and exquisiteness of the car. The dashboard in the car adopts full LCD design, and the steering wheel also adopts a brand-new double flat-bottomed design. At the same time, the "2.0 LANE ASSISTANT" is displayed at the bottom of the steering wheel, which may indicate that a more advanced assisted driving system will be equipped.
The co-pilot’s front decorative panel is also integrated with Long Lin-style atmosphere lights, and the air outlet of the air conditioner has a relatively "staggered" position arrangement, so that they are in a zigzag layout in spatial structure. BYD’s "BYD-HEART" design concept is adopted in the gear lever mining area, and all the main function buttons in the car are integrated on this panel. Besides gear shifting, it also has the functions of electronic handbrake, one-button start, volume adjustment, vehicle start/stop, mode switching, etc., which not only reduces the button setting on the center console, but also increases the convenience of the driver’s operation.
The sports seat is ergonomically designed, which is more in line with the human body curve, and can help relieve the fatigue caused by sitting for a long time. The seat is made of Nappa leather with the "Long Lin" pattern outlined by two-way stitching, which is in harmony with the elements in the car.
3. New Ferrous lithium phosphate "Blade Battery"
The NEDC cruising range of BYD Han EV is 550km (dual-motor model) and 605km (single-motor model), and the energy density of the battery system is 140 Wh/kg. The NEDC pure electric cruising range of Han DM (plug-in hybrid version) is 81km.

The Great Wall self-destructed "Great Wall"? Sue BYD’s share price fell 6% that day!
On May 25th, 2023, it is destined to enter the automobile history of China. On this day, the Great Wall issued a statement in Guanwei to report BYD; Then BYD issued a statement to fight back. In the afternoon, both stock prices fell!
Great Wall reported BYD.
May 25th is the day when BYD Song ProDM-i Champion Edition will be officially launched. More than five hours before the 15:00 pm event, the official WeChat of Great Wall Motor suddenly released a statement:
According to the statement, on April 11, Great Wall Motor submitted the report materials to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the State Administration of Markets and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and reported that BYD (002594) Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i used atmospheric fuel tanks, which was suspected of failing to meet the standard of evaporative pollutant emissions of the whole vehicle.
Subsequently, Great Wall Motor said that it was paying close attention to the filing and handling progress of the case.
Comments:
Speaking of reporting, the scene of "The Wind Blows Pinellia" suddenly appeared in my mind: Xu Pinellia spent New Year’s Eve in the detention center because of being reported for smuggling arms, and after coming out, he reported Qiu Bizheng’s company for tax evasion. For this reason, Guo Qidong, an executive of Qiu Bizheng Company, was sentenced to prison. After Guo Qidong was released from prison, Xu Banxia’s steel plant encountered many troubles: first, he was reported to have evaded taxes, then he was reported to have smuggled scrap steel, and then he was reported to have embezzled state-owned assets …
Byd counterattacked
At noon, BYD countered with a statement: "It is understood that the test vehicles were purchased, kept and arranged for inspection by Great Wall, and the China Automobile Center (Tianjin) carried out the testing of related projects according to the requirements of Great Wall. Strictly speaking, the test vehicle does not meet the requirements of the national standard, that is, it should be sampled, kept and sent for inspection by a third party, and it is required to complete the 3000 km running-in test, while the mileage of the vehicle sent for inspection by the Great Wall is only 450-670 km. In view of the above, we believe that its test report is invalid and the Great Wall cannot use it as a basis! "
BYD said that it resolutely opposes any form of unfair competition. And reserve the right to legal proceedings.
Comments:
The Great Wall report and BYD’s response have exploded the circle of friends of autobots. However, the Great Wall’s report did not go to the hot search, but BYD’s response went to Sina’s hot search list:
Share prices both fell.
Not surprisingly, in the afternoon, Great Wall Motor and BYD both dived, of which Great Wall Motor fell by 6.17% and BYD fell by 2.41%!
On the other hand, Yapu, the leader of the fuel tank, pulled up in a straight line and once closed the board, up 9.98%! The company’s flagship product is the high-pressure fuel tank.
Someone posted that BYD originally planned to replace the atmospheric fuel tank with a high-pressure fuel tank in mid-2023.
Comments:
It has always been: the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman.
As an old saying goes, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose 800. Judging from the stock price decline, Great Wall Motor fell even harder.
BYD Song ProDM-i Champion Edition is 4000 cheaper than Xiaolong.
At 3 o’clock when the stock market closed, the release conference of BYD Song ProDM-i Champion Edition began.
The lowest price announced by Song Pro is 135,800 yuan, which is 4,000 yuan cheaper than the competing Great Wall Haval Xiaolong’s 139,800 yuan.
Just 10 days ago, on May 16th, the launch conference of Haval brand new energy night and Haval Xiaolong series was held in Beijing. The Great Wall officially released the brand-new energy strategy of Haval brand and launched a brand-new energy product-Haval Xiaolong series. Its official guide price is 139,800-179,800 yuan.
Comments:
Great Wall Motor reported BYD on April 11th. It is no coincidence that BYD Song ProDM-i made another statement before the championship version went on the market on May 25th.
Have a long grudge.
On March 10th, 2023, the Great Wall held a conference called "Intelligent New Energy Dry Goods Conference". However, at this highly anticipated conference, there was no new car released, even a concept car. At the end of the conference, Great Wall Motor launched an initiative to the industry, calling for joint efforts to purify the network communication environment and launch the "10 million reward plan" to attack the "network water army". This conference was also seen as the Great Wall’s public declaration of war against BYD.
As the saying goes, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason. The Great Wall’s "resentment" against BYD probably stems from BYD stealing the sales champion of SUV from the Great Wall.
In 2022, Haval H6, which won the SUV market sales championship for 11 consecutive years, was surpassed by BYD Song. In 2022, the sales volume of the Great Wall decreased by 16.7% year-on-year, and only 56.2% of the original sales target was achieved. On the other hand, BYD’s year-on-year growth rate exceeded 150%.
Haval H6, as a "magic car" in the SUV market, has been the champion in the SUV market for 9 consecutive years, winning the SUV sales champion for 101 months, and its monthly sales have exceeded 80,000 vehicles. However, in 2022, Haval H6 only sold 250,000 vehicles, a year-on-year decrease of 29.1%. This year, BYD Song sold 479,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 137.4%, ranking first in the annual SUV sales list.
From January to April, 2023, the sales volume of BYD’s new energy vehicles was 762,000, a year-on-year increase of 94.5%. Great Wall Motor sold 313,100 vehicles in the first four months, down 7.18% year-on-year.
The two major BYD models reported by Great Wall this time: BYD Qin PLUS and Song PLUS, are the most sold models of BYD. From January to April this year, the total sales volume of BYD Qin PLUS reached 119,200 units, accounting for 15.64% of BYD’s total sales in the first four months. The total sales volume of Song PLUS in the first four months reached 127,500 units, accounting for 16.73% of the sales volume. Together, the two models account for nearly one-third of BYD’s sales.
Comments:
Dong Mingzhu, the so-called "discipline inspector" in the field of home appliances, has reported his peers many times, including Midea. Midea Group executives once said at the Shanghai dealer conference: Because Gree touched porcelain countless times, we were forced to report Gree and fight back, and we also made a statement.
Gree and Midea, although "interacting with each other", did not affect their leading position in the home appliance industry.
I hope this incident will not have a negative impact on the two companies, let alone the result of mutual reporting and revenge in "Blowing Pinellia". After all, China’s self-owned brand automobile enterprises have just gained advantages over foreign brands, so don’t self-destruct the Great Wall.
TOP10 car sales in December: Hongguang MINIEV sold over 50,000 cars a month.
According to the sales data released by the Association, in December 2021, the domestic car market approved 1.122 million new cars, up 7.9% year-on-year and 10.5% month-on-month. In 2021, the cumulative sales volume of domestic car market was 10.015 million, an increase of 8% compared with 2020.
Judging from the situation of the best-selling models, unlike the independent leading role in the top ten SUV sales list, the top 10 best-selling models in the car market are mainly foreign-funded models.

They have been in the top ten car sales for several months in a row, plus Tesla’s electric cars.
In the top ten list of car sales in December, foreign cars accounted for 7 seats. However, the monthly sales champion in the car market in December is an independent model.
MINI EV was the only model in the domestic auto market with monthly sales exceeding 50,000 vehicles in December last year. In addition, after the replacement of Geely
And the one equipped with DM-i interpolation and mixing system

Sgmw Hongguang MINI EV
Sales in December: 55,742 vehicles
Sales volume in December increased by 22.31%
With the ultra-low price and good product characteristics, Hongguang MINI EV has delivered amazing sales data since it was put on the market. It can be said that it has set off the hope of reviving the domestic mini-car market by its own efforts. Listed in July 2020
In that year, it won the annual sales of more than 100,000 vehicles, and in 2021, it made persistent efforts, with the annual sales approaching 360,000 vehicles, making it a well-deserved new energy vehicle sales champion in the domestic market. The strong performance of Hongguang MINI EV has attracted more and more automobile manufacturers to lay out the mini electric vehicle market. In the last year or so, many similar products have been put on the market.

Nissan Sylphy
Sales in December: 46,728 vehicles
Sales volume in December increased by 2.93%
Although Xuanyi lost the monthly sales champion in the car market at the end of 2021, it can easily win the annual sales champion in the car market with the annual sales data of more than 420,000 vehicles. Compared with winning the annual sales crown without any suspense, it may be another thing that made Dongfeng Nissan happier at the end of last year. The new version of Sylphy, Sylphy e-POWER, successfully tested the water. In December, 2021, Sylphy e-POWER achieved sales of 6,282 vehicles in the first full month of listing in China (during the Guangzhou Auto Show last year). As a Sylphy with a sales volume of 138,900, the market start of Sylphy e-POWER was quite successful. E-POWER is a similar extended-range power system, which is driven by a motor, and the engine is simply used to generate electricity. However, unlike extended-range electric vehicles, Sylphy e-POWER cannot be externally charged, so it does not belong to the category of electric vehicles.

Volkswagen LAVIDA
Sales in December: 35,905 vehicles
Sales volume in December increased by -23.41%
Chip shortage is not all bad for car companies. Take Volkswagen as an example. Due to the shortage of production capacity caused by the lack of core in mid-2021, the source of terminal cars has become tense, and the market conditions of its various models have improved significantly, and the terminal concessions for the main models have shrunk in an all-round way. LaVida is the pillar of SAIC Volkswagen in the car market. In the middle of last year, because of the shortage of car sources, LaVida’s terminal discount directly recovered about 10,000 yuan. For manufacturers, although the sales data at that time were not good-looking, the profits they got were higher. However, this situation only lasted for February and March. As the supply of LaVida gradually stabilized, the terminal discount was re-released. At present, in the terminal market, the discount of LaVida is generally above 30,000 yuan.

Toyota Corolla
Sales in December: 30,677 vehicles
Sales volume in December increased by -0.47%
After the replacement of TNGA architecture, the competitiveness of Corolla’s products has been improved a lot. The rear suspension has been changed from torsion beam to independent suspension, and the active and passive safety configuration has also been improved. The market effect is immediate. After the replacement, Corolla’s market popularity has also gone further, and it can often hand over more than 30,000 monthly sales results. In addition, it is worth mentioning that in order to meet the increasingly stringent carbon emission pressure, Toyota also equipped its main model, Corolla, with a three-cylinder engine in the domestic market, but did not cancel the four-cylinder version. The three-cylinder model is aimed at users who are more sensitive to price, and the four-cylinder turbocharged model is aimed at users who have higher requirements on quality and performance. From this point of view, it must be said that Toyota has thoroughly studied the China market.

Tesla Model 3
Sales in December: 30,289 vehicles
Sales volume in December increased by 16.05%
Tesla’s brand charm is only one of the reasons why Model 3 can continue to be popular in the China market. On the other hand, it is difficult to find an opponent who can match the product strength at the same price, which is the key to this car’s killing in the terminal market. Even though there have been public complaints and user rights protection incidents, Tesla’s popularity has basically not been affected. Choose an electric car with a budget of 300,000 yuan. After going around, you will find that there are not many other better options except Tesla Model 3. At present, in the domestic electric vehicle market, Tesla Model3 in the middle and high-end market is as strong as Hongguang MINIEV in the low-end market.

Toyota Camry
Sales in December: 27,195 vehicles
Sales volume in December increased by 7.32%
In the domestic B-class auto market in 2021, the competition for the monthly sales champion has been in Camry and
In the first half, the Accord was more dominant as a whole, while Camry won the championship with its strong strength in the second half. In December 2021, Camry was the only model in the B-class automobile market that entered the top ten list of car sales. The empowerment of TNGA architecture is definitely the most important reason for its popularity. While retaining the characteristics of Toyota’s durable and fuel-efficient products, the new generation of Camry has redesigned its appearance, breaking the stereotype of mediocre Japanese car design, catering to the preferences of young consumers with a more sporty attitude, and the accumulated user reputation in the domestic market has jointly contributed to Camry’s market performance in 2021.

Geely Emgrand
Sales in December: 24,589 vehicles
December sales growth: 27.6%
From the sales trend in 2021, it can be clearly seen that Emgrand must have experienced some major events in this year. Yes, this model that once carried the banner of its own car ushered in a model replacement in 2021. Before the listing of the fourth-generation Emgrand in September last year, the monthly sales of Emgrand had dropped to around 10,000 vehicles, which was the historical freezing point in recent years (except for the situation that was seriously affected by the epidemic in February and March of 2020). Fortunately, after the completion of the replacement, the market of Emgrand recovered quickly, and at the end of last year, it had returned to a high level of nearly 25,000 vehicles per month. Using Geely’s BMA architecture, recalibrating the powertrain and replacing it with a set of similar
The shape and interior of Emgrand has also borrowed many elements from Xingrui. The change of the fourth generation Emgrand can be said to be all-round. Although the pricing has been slightly improved, the defects cannot be concealed. Emgrand has once again set off the banner of independent cars in the field of fuel vehicles.

Byd Qin PLUS
Sales in December: 24,287 vehicles
Sales volume in December increased by -13.73%
The reason why I want to emphasize that Emgrand has re-launched the banner of autonomous cars in the field of fuel vehicles is of course for a reason, because when Emgrand fell into the market trough before and after the replacement, new star-rated autonomous cars have appeared in the domestic new energy auto market, BYD Qin PLUS (including
and
) is one of the most representative. From the soaring sales trend in 2021, we can see how popular BYD Qin PLUS is, and this data only reflects the production volume of Qin PLUS, which is far from the actual demand of the end market. In fact, Qin PLUS, especially Qin PLUS DM-i models, have long been out of stock, and it has become normal to wait for a single half year to pick up the car. Recently, it was reported that in order to meet the strong market demand, BYD is expanding its factory in Xi ‘an (mainly producing Qin series and Song series), and Qin PLUS may bring more market surprises.

Volkswagen SAGITAR
Sales in December: 23,479 vehicles
Sales volume in December increased by 10.69%
When sagitar first used the MQB platform, it was intended to make a difference in the A+ class market. Not only was the product upgraded, but the price was a little higher than that of ordinary A-class cars, but the market feedback it received was not ideal. In the end, it was only possible to stabilize sales through substantial terminal concessions, and since then it has embarked on the main cost-effective route. In 2021, FAW-Volkswagen was seriously short of cores, and its main models could not be supplied normally for several months. Sagitar was one of them, and its monthly sales once fell below 10,000 vehicles. It was not until the production capacity recovered in the fourth quarter that it surrendered the monthly sales of over 20,000 vehicles. The rapid recovery of market performance shows that sagitar has no shortage of customers in the domestic market. After all, in the A-class sedan market, sagitar’s product strength still has advantages. As long as the production capacity is guaranteed and the terminal concessions are enough, sagitar can easily rush to the high market.

Toyota Ralink
Sales in December: 21,836 vehicles
December sales growth: -4.3%
After a period of market downturn, Lei Ling was able to hand over monthly sales of over 20,000 vehicles in the last two months of last year, mainly due to the full-scale outbreak of hybrid models, especially in December last year, Lei Ling hybrid models handed over monthly sales of over 10,000 vehicles (10,232). For a long time in the past, the domestic oil-electric hybrid market has indeed been monopolized by Japanese hybrid cars, but it is quite rare that the monthly sales of hybrid models have exceeded 10,000 (in the past, the domestic oil-electric hybrid market was limited). It must be said that the independent "war" hybrid wave that emerged in 2021 made domestic consumers begin to re-understand hybrid cars, which also brought a good boost to the entire hybrid car market.

New quality productivity empowers intelligent networking in Liangjiang New Area. The new energy automobile industry has accelerated into the first camp in China.
The cumulative sales volume was 84,065 vehicles, up 620.1% year-on-year. This is the data handed over by Sailis Automobile in Liangjiang New Area in the first quarter of this year.
Since the beginning of this year, Cyrus has not only dominated the sales list of China’s new power brands for three consecutive months, but also kept pace in the two high-end markets-asked M7 to deliver 24,598 new cars in a single month in March, with a cumulative delivery of more than 120,000 vehicles listed, and continued to top the sales list of China’s new power models; The M9 delivered 6,243 new cars in a single month, ranking first in the sales of China New Power vehicles with a price of over 500,000 yuan.
The highlight performance of Celestial Automobile is a microcosm of Liangjiang New Area’s promotion of the qualitative change of intelligent networked new energy automobile industry. In recent years, Liangjiang New Area has taken the development of intelligent networked new energy vehicles as an important starting point to cultivate new quality productivity, continuously promoted the integrated development of industrial chain and innovation chain, and accelerated the intelligent networked new energy vehicle industry into the first camp in China.
Status quo: High-end products are intensively listed and sold well.
During the holiday in Tomb-Sweeping Day, the reporter went to the Huawei Experience Store in Halo Shopping Park, and the information of more than 100 consumers from all over the country has been registered in the registration office at the entrance.
"Now several cars in the world are selling very well, and many car owners from other places choose to come to Chongqing to pick up their cars. "The clerk told the reporter.
The series of products made by Celestial Automobile and Huawei have now become a business card of the "Two Rivers Made" automobile. The person in charge of Chongqing Automobile Business Association said that Chongqing can occupy the second place in the national output in 2023, and the pulling effect of high-end vehicles, especially high-end intelligent networked new energy vehicles, is particularly obvious.
The reporter combed and found that since last year, high-end models including Aouita 12, Deep Blue S7, Wenjie New M7 and Wenjie M9 have all been on the market. Among them, Aouita Science and Technology delivered 5,016 vehicles in March, a year-on-year increase of 125.84%; From January to March, the cumulative sales volume was 14,532 vehicles, up 157.48% year-on-year.
Supported by Aouita, Deep Blue and Qiyuan, in the first quarter of this year, Changan Automobile sold 128,800 new energy vehicles with its own brand, an increase of over 52% year-on-year.
Lai Han, deputy director of the Industrial Promotion Bureau of Liangjiang New Area, said that the "Liangjiang-made" vehicles with high value and high product strength are emerging intensively, and the intensity and frequency are more than any previous period.
Behind: new quality productivity releases new kinetic energy
In Lai Han’s view, the reason why the "Two Rivers Made" intelligent networked new energy vehicles can show strong competitiveness in generate is that the new quality productivity rooted in scientific and technological innovation is constantly releasing new kinetic energy for high-quality development.
"Automobile is the dominant industry in Chongqing and Liangjiang New Area. We adapt to local conditions, combine local development reality, empower industrial development with scientific and technological innovation, and promote the transformation and upgrading of automobile industry. "He said.
On the one hand, the national and even global first-class intelligent manufacturing capability has become the "standard" of car enterprises in Liangjiang New Area, which has promoted the modern industrial system to achieve a new leap.
In February of this year, Sailis Super Factory was put into use in Liangjiang New District. The factory was built according to the international leading standards and industrial Internet requirements, and realized the interconnection of production equipment and data.
Among them, the 9000T integrated die casting process is one of the core technologies of Celestial automobile intelligent manufacturing, and it was first used in the M9. Through this process, the car body can be reduced by nearly 80 parts after M9, which realizes the highest integration among the integrated die-casting parts on the market and improves the torsional stiffness by 23%. At the same time, 212 parts and 1440 solder joints were reduced, which effectively reduced the total weight of the car body and reduced the complexity of manufacturing.
According to reports, at present, the factory has the ability to roll off a new car in 30 seconds.
Changan Automobile also invested in a new digital intelligence factory in Chongqing. It has created 16 kinds of standardized and configurable intelligent scenes, such as intelligent production, intelligent scheduling, intelligent logistics and intelligent warehousing, which have solved the pain points such as "data islands" in traditional factories, not only the cost can be reduced by about 20%, but also the carbon emissions in the production process are greatly reduced.
On the other hand, technological innovation is also accelerating to lead intelligent networked new energy vehicles to the middle and high end of the value chain. Take Celestial Automobile as an example. According to the data, Celestial Group has invested more than 12 billion yuan to ensure the competitiveness of its series of products.
According to the statistics of automobile patents in 2023 of China Automobile Information Department, in 2023, the number of invention patents of Cyrus achieved a year-on-year growth of 407.76%, ranking first in the independent vehicle group.
The promotion of consumption experience brought by powerful technological innovation has become knowable and sensible. Taking the M9 as an example, a 5.2-meter-long "big guy" has a smaller turning radius than a medium-sized car by adopting the innovative owl enhanced steering technology.
In addition, the model also has 2.6 million pixels of fine lighting with dual lights. When the high beam illuminates the opposite vehicle, it will automatically leave a dark area, which will not affect the opposite vehicle, but also keep the high beam.
Zhu Huarong, Chairman of Changan Automobile, also said that efforts to develop new quality productivity and improve total factor productivity have been put on the agenda of Changan Automobile. This year, Changan Automobile plans to fully launch eight new intelligent networked new energy vehicles to ensure the overall sales target of 2.8 million vehicles.
According to the data provided by Liangjiang New Area, up to now, there are more than 50 automobile R&D institutions in Liangjiang New Area, including China Automobile Research Institute, German Mainland and Faurecia, which have laid a solid innovation foundation for the high-quality development of the automobile industry.
Future: further enhance the resilience of industrial chain supply chain
Developing intelligent networked new energy vehicles is an important starting point for China automobile to cultivate new quality productivity. At the Chongqing two sessions held this year, Li Jie, member of the Party Working Committee of Liangjiang New Area and deputy director of the Management Committee, once said that Liangjiang New Area will speed up the construction of an important national intelligent networked new energy vehicle gathering highland, and strive to break through 200 billion in the scale of the automobile industry in 2024, with the vehicle output exceeding 1.2 million, of which the vehicle output of new energy vehicles exceeding 500,000.
In order to achieve this goal, it is particularly important to play the leading role of the whole vehicle and continuously improve the localization and coordination level of the industrial chain supply chain. Li Jie said that it will be the key direction of Liangjiang New Area in 2024 to give full play to the leading role of the whole vehicle, promote the coordination of whole parts, and realize the chain extension and chain reinforcement of the industrial chain.
On the one hand, it supports vehicle companies to continuously improve their independent innovation systems, enhance their new product development capabilities, and continuously introduce hot models with explosive models to continuously enhance their brand influence.
At the same time, Liangjiang New Area will hold entrepreneur salons, alliance meetings, supply and demand docking and other industry activities in a regular manner, so as to promote vehicle enterprises to release new energy and intelligent supply chain requirements to more local automobile supporting enterprises, electronics and soft letter enterprises, and further improve the local supporting rate. Support traditional parts enterprises to speed up the "intellectual transformation" and accelerate the formation of new energy and intelligent product supply capacity.
Li Jie said that the intelligentization and electrification of the automobile industry are reshaping the supply chain system of the automobile industry chain, which provides an opportunity for China automobile industry to change lanes and overtake. In the next step, Liangjiang New District will focus on the new quality productivity, vigorously improve the level of intelligent networking and new energy, further enhance the resilience and competitiveness of the industrial chain supply chain, and accelerate the construction of an important national intelligent networking new energy vehicle gathering highland.
