Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 689 Global Market

At the end of August, the sales of Qiancheng CS6 increased, but the sales of Qiancheng CS8 declined. Many people bought CS8 because they heard that the overseas version of CS6plus sold well in the United States and received a five-star safety rating, and it was advertised that the quality of domestic and foreign versions was the same, so more people bought CS6. CS[-]plus was chosen.

"Don't we also want to sell our CS8plus abroad?" Qu Li

"It hasn't started yet. Consumers are not sure whether there is any difference between the domestic version and the foreign version."

Not to mention, the quality of the export version GF03 is better, because the production line of CS8plus is already in production, and it will be more troublesome to adjust it, so we have to treat it differently.

Qu Li took the time from Glory to learn about Geometry Automobiles. The total domestic SUV market is limited and has not yet grown to the point where it can compete with sedans. Even if Glory’s influence has accelerated consumers’ recognition of SUVs, then There is also a process.

In fact, what Qu Li said about Qiancheng Geometry is already very exaggerated. Dividing Great Wall Motor’s 2015 revenue by car sales, the average price of a bicycle is about 9. Qu Li directly adjusted it to more than 10. After fooling so many people, does it mean that [-]% of the fans of Glory choose to believe in the future?

Qu Likai’s rumors are not particularly outrageous. The Haval H10, which sells for more than 6 yuan, sold more than 31 units this year, and 2016 units in 58. Apart from electric vehicles, there are other paths for self-owned brands.

Qu Li personally participated in promoting Qiancheng Motors to enter the US market, and other regions rely on their own efforts.For the time being, there is no plan to build factories in Brazil or Mexico. In South America, Chile, which has zero tariffs on Chinese auto imports, is the first choice; in Africa, South Africa is the first choice, with only 4% tariffs; Australia, with its vast land and sparse population, is also good, with an import tariff of only 10%. China may negotiate with Australia , reduce the tax rate; the Middle East is also good, many countries only need about 5%.

European countries can try, but the EU's stringent environmental protection requirements make it difficult for future cars with high fuel consumption to meet.For example, the world's best-selling Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V accounted for 9% and 2% of European sales, and the most sold in the United States.

Qiancheng CS6 and CS8 focus on a large space, strong power, and high passability. They sell compact and small (crossover) SUVs in Europe, and best-selling models such as Hyundai Tucson.Moreover, the European Union likes diesel and mandates the addition of biofuels. These are quite troublesome. Only when the CMA framework is developed will there be a suitable engine.

In addition, there is Russia, which has a tariff as high as 30%, so that domestically-produced cars have no price advantage in Russia, and the assembly plant in Kazakhstan in Kimchi Country can enjoy zero tariffs.Various tariff barriers and restrictive policies are quite troublesome, but other domestic counterparts are never tired of exporting to Russia. There may be many rules of the game that Qu Li is not familiar with.

For comparison, the annual sales volume of ten Southeast Asian countries is about 300 million, Russia is about 150 million, the Middle East is about 150 million, Australia is about 110 million, Central and South America is less than 400 million, Africa is less than 100 million, and Fuso is about 500 million. million, about 150 million in Korea.

The importance of each country’s market can be seen from the annual sales of cars in various countries and regions. The three countries in North America have a maximum of 2000 million vehicles, Europe may reach 1500 million vehicles, and China can exceed 2500 million vehicles.Qu Li basically follows this order, but excludes Japan and South Korea, um, no, Geometric Auto finally opened a store in Tokyo, Fusang.

Because of the trade war, Europe has a higher priority than North America, but building a factory in Mexico is obviously more important than building a factory in Southeast Asia, but the Russian single market is more important than the ten countries in Southeast Asia.Because of tariff issues, Australia and the Middle East are not under consideration.

To export, it is necessary to make various adjustments according to the market demand and environmental protection requirements of various countries, and to have its own car-making platform. Toyota's TNGA architecture and Geely's CMA architecture are more advanced concepts than car-making platforms.It can adapt to diverse needs and better face the global market.

"All technological gaps can be caught up. Our real gap lies in popularity and sales channels. We still can't see the decline of fuel vehicles. We have established a complete sales network in North America and Europe..." Xia Mingfei ran to Beijin, and once again told When Qu Li mentioned this matter, he didn't know why Qu Li, who was always radical, was conservative this time.

"Our sales of fuel vehicles can exceed 200 million." Xia Mingfei said excitedly, Qianjoo is well-known at home and abroad, and his research in North America found that consumers in the United States have a high degree of acceptance of Geometry.

Of course, there are doubters. Many environmental organizations in Europe and North America questioned Qu Li's decision to build a fuel vehicle, especially knowing that the Geometry GF01 has relatively high fuel consumption. Many people called him a fake environmentalist.

Of course, Qu Li will refute these slanderous remarks. His reason is: "I want electric vehicles to replace fuel vehicles, not relying on financial subsidies from various countries. Strong electric vehicles, conquering consumers around the world with product power..."

"It is very difficult to achieve this. Many defects of electric vehicles are difficult to solve, such as mileage anxiety. We are developing a plug-in hybrid vehicle that allows everyone to experience the excellence of electric vehicles without mileage anxiety. This is two sets The integration of systems, if there is no advantage of fuel vehicles, I doubt whether I can do this well.”

"The most important thing is that Glory didn't want to build cars from the very beginning. Its future depends on its own efforts. It needs a stable profit channel. Fuel cars are the best choice..."

Qu Li posted articles on Twitter and short videos on Instagram. He uses Instagram more, even if it leaks location information and living habits, he wants to make Instagram a popular fashion in Europe and America.

Afterwards, Qu Li complained that Future Geometry’s valuation in Xiangjiang was not high. Tesla’s market value exceeded 300 billion U.S. dollars, and Future Geometry was only half of Tesla’s about 1000 billion soft sister coins. Valuation brought financing costs. The future geometry is much worse than Tesla.

These are of course useful, at least let people know that not everyone can slander him. Qu Li has his own information channel, which can let people in the European and American world know a more real him. Communicate and resolve differences.

Many phenomena show that European and American societies are afraid of a real China and let their citizens know that entrepreneurs in the new era like Qu Li have mastered social media proficiently and know that direct communication with consumers is the most efficient way of publicity. It is very rare in the family circle. Later, Musk learned Qu Li's communication method and became a leader.

There are many extreme environmentalists in Europe and the United States. In the short term, the promotion of electric vehicles around the world will not encounter difficulties, but fuel vehicles are different. Friends and businessmen can find 100 ways to target you. Some "evil" they can do by themselves, you just no!

"How long will it take us to build fuel vehicle sales channels in Europe and the United States, and how many years will it take to recover the cost? Within ten years, when we can mass-produce electric vehicles, we will gradually stop selling fuel vehicles..."
