After payment, "Lin Junjie" becomes "Pan Weibai", and a 50% handling fee will be charged for returning concert tickets? Lawyer interpretation

CCTV News(Reporter/Yao Shuting): A few days ago, some consumers complained on social platforms that they were suspected of encountering "bounced tickets" when purchasing Lin Junjie Nanchang concert tickets on a ticketing platform. After payment, they actually changed from Lin Junjie concert tickets to Pan Weibai concert tickets. Consumers immediately applied for a refund, and the refund page showed that 50% of the handling fee was charged.

Xiaojie snapped up tickets for Lin Junjie’s concert on June 2 on the evening of May 6, and entered the ticket purchase interface of Lin Junjie’s concert through the homepage of the platform. After swiping the ticket, she immediately paid without secret. Xiaojie introduced to CCTV News + reporter: "I bought a ticket of 1380 yuan, and Lin Junjie also has this ticket file, so I didn’t find anything abnormal until the payment was completed. But what I didn’t expect was that the message" Successful purchase of Pan Weibai’s concert tickets "popped up after the payment was completed. After finding out that she bought the wrong ticket, Xiaojie immediately applied for a refund. The page showed that the day was already on the 16th day after Pan Weibai’s concert was issued, and the refund fee was 50% of the ticket price. 

Consumer Tang bought Pan Weibai’s concert tickets for 1,180 yuan. She introduced to the "News +" reporter that all personal information had been pre-filled before invoicing. After Lin Junjie’s concert tickets were opened, the hot window on the platform was only Lin Junjie’s ticket purchase interface. Click to enter the ticket purchase interface, and there is no need to fill in other information again. When Ms. Tang received the ticket purchase text message, she found that she had purchased Pan Weibai’s Nanchang concert tickets.

"It’s obviously the first picture of Lin Junjie’s character, but the jump is Pan Weibai’s concert, and the system automatically jumps around. Isn’t this misleading and deceiving consumers?" Consumer Ms. Chen recalled that the evening of May 6 was during the time period for Lin Junjie’s concert to issue tickets, and the ticket purchase interface of Pan Weibai’s concert was in the state of "reservation and purchase", and tickets could not be purchased. Ms. Chen told reporters that many Pan Weibai fans under the relevant Weibo also raised questions: "I can’t get Pan Weibai’s tickets if I want to. How can so many people buy tickets?"

According to media reports, in early 2024, multiple consumers bought tickets for the "Lin Junjie JJ20 World Tour Concert Chengdu Station" concert on the same platform, but after payment, they found that the ticket information was "2024 Lin Zixiang 50 Jian Concert". Due to the approaching performance time, the platform refused to apply for a refund. The ticket buyers questioned the platform’s deliberate "bounce", and the platform denied the system problem, believing that the ticket buyer accidentally "clicked wrong", but agreed to a full refund.

In April 2024, after consumer Xiaoyu purchased tickets for Xu Song’s concert on the platform, he found that the order showed Su Youpeng’s concert tickets. He called customer service to complain unsuccessfully, but still received tickets for Su Youpeng’s concert the next day.

Ms. Chen told reporters that there are currently nearly 70 consumers with the same experience, and some consumers have received text messages from the Nanjing Jianye District Culture and Tourism Bureau after complaining: "Jianye District Culture and Tourism Bureau has contacted the organizer for communication and coordination, and the organizer has agreed to refund the ticket, but the publicity of the handling fee has been reviewed and filed by the Nanchang Public Security Department and cannot be changed without authorization. Moreover, the ticket purchase error was caused by the ticketing platform, and the organizer was not at fault and could not reach a full refund. In view of the failure of mediation, it is recommended that consumers protect their rights through legal channels."

On May 9, some consumers received a text message reply from the platform: Feedback has been confirmed, and full refunds are not supported.

Beijing Yuecheng Law Firm senior partner Yue Yushan said that the main point of the incident is whether the platform has breached the contract or infringed the situation. According to the "Consumer Rights Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China", consumers have the right to choose goods or services independently, and consumers also have the right to know the specific situation of the relevant goods or services. If the platform deliberately sets up a jump link, causing consumers to fail to buy the tickets they want to buy, which has damaged consumers’ right to choose and know, it is an infringement of consumer rights and interests. The platform needs to bear the corresponding responsibility. Once it constitutes fraud, it may have to bear the responsibility of refunding one to three.

According to the September 2023 "Notice of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Security on Further Strengthening the Standardized Management of Large-scale Commercial Performance Activities and Promoting the Healthy and Orderly Development of the Performance Market", performance organizers should establish a ticket refund mechanism for large-scale performance activities, set a reasonable level of ticket refund fees, and protect the legitimate right of ticket buyers to refund tickets. Yue Yushan mentioned that even if the platform does not deliberately set up "bounce tickets," when consumers buy the wrong ticket or need to refund the ticket, they will directly charge a 50% handling fee, which may not be a reasonable and legal behavior.

Under normal circumstances, consumers rarely take photos and collect evidence in advance when purchasing goods and services, so they face the problem of "providing evidence" when protecting their rights. In this regard, Yue Jiushan introduced that consumers can prove the products and services they plan to buy through the background search records, as well as the final payment records, so as to prove that the final purchase results do not match expectations. At the same time, they should also keep relevant ticket purchase records and payment information. After finding problems, they can first negotiate and communicate with the platform. If the negotiation fails, they can call 12315 to complain, or report and report to the market supervision department, or they can directly file a lawsuit with the people’s court to solve the problem through litigation.

Yue Yushan suggested that when consumers conduct transactions on the Internet, they must determine whether the purchased goods and services are correct. In addition, merchants should operate in good faith during the business process and do not seek improper benefits through other means.

Editor’s comment:

  The appearance of the Jianghuai iC5 is very simple and spiritual, giving people a good first impression, and I believe it will win the favor of young people. Since it is a pure electric car, the cruising range is naturally the focus of everyone’s attention. The official data of the Jianghuai iC5 is 530km (NEDC battery life), which is also good. As for the configuration, it is comparable to the Chinese brand models of the same class, and it is difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom.

  In the case of a relatively balanced book strength, the deciding elements also include the texture of driving and interior materials, which can only be evaluated when we get the Jianghuai iC5 test car. For Jianghuai, it is also necessary to set an attractive and competitive price for the iC5 to make up for the weakness of brand recognition.

Is the American dream stable for the "light speed" IPO of the polar krypton car under two years old?

Wen | Fangfang, New Economic Observer Mission

On December 13, 2022, Geely Automobile officially announced that its high-end pure electric brand Extreme Krypton Automobile had secretly submitted the IPO registration documents to the US Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7. At this point, this "traditional new force" established less than two years ago began to break through the IPO.

The data shows that in 2022, a total of nearly 72,000 new cars were delivered, which further narrowed the gap with the new forces’ head camp. However, despite the rapid growth, there are many "problems" in Krypton cars compared with "Wei Xiaoli": performance loss, low gross profit margin, and doubtful high-end positioning are very prominent. Nowadays, the extremely krypton car in the initial stage of development is so eager to go public, is it really hot enough?

01, a rising star, losses.

Compared with other brands of Geely Automobile, the daily performances of Krypton Automobile, which was established in 2021, are showing its more independent existence. But no matter from the development process or business performance, we can’t put it outside Geely Automobile to observe.

Before Krypton Automobile, Geely Automobile had tried many times to transform and upgrade with electrification, but it didn’t splash much water in the new energy market.

In 2015, Geely Automobile released the new energy strategy of "Blue Geely Action" and set an extremely aggressive sales target: by 2020, the sales of new energy vehicles will account for 90% of the total sales. However, at that time, Geely Automobile bet on "oil to electricity", which led to a general market reaction. In 2019, Geely Automobile launched a geometric brand focusing on the field of high-end pure electric vehicles, which is at the same level as Lectra, and the degree of attention can be seen.

But again, the geometric brand has little thunder and rain, and has not broken out its due potential. In 2020, Geely Automobile actually sold 68,000 new energy vehicles (including Geely, Link and Geometry brands), and the proportion of new energy was only 5.15%, far from reaching the target of 90%.

Until March 2021, Geely once again launched the extremely krypton car that positioned the high-end electric vehicle market, while the geometric car returned to the mainstream mass market. Once the former came out, it quickly launched the first mass-produced new car with an average sales price of more than 300,000 yuan, and ran all the way up with the strong support of the group.

Drawing of the delivery table of the new car-making forces in 2022: New Economic Observation Mission

In 2022, Kyk 001 delivered nearly 72,000 new cars, and the average order amount reached 336,000 yuan. Especially in the fourth quarter of 2022, the sales volume of Krypton in January 2001 exceeded 10,000 vehicles for three consecutive months, which was basically able to compete with the head camp of the new forces. It is also the ever-increasing sales of Krypton 001 that makes the capital market begin to re-evaluate the prospective map of Geely Automobile’s new energy.

But the question is, is Geely’s electrification transformation really successful this time? I’m afraid it’s too early to draw a conclusion. Because cars sell well, it doesn’t mean high profitability. At this point, new forces such as "Wei Xiaoli" have already had a deep understanding.

First of all, like "Wei Xiaoli", Krypton cars sell well, but their operating conditions are not satisfactory. Geely Automobile’s interim financial report in 2022 shows that in the first half of 2021 -2022, Kyo Automobile achieved revenue of 2.868 billion yuan and 8.828 billion yuan respectively. However, under the rapid growth of revenue, the net loss is constantly expanding. In the same period, the brand’s net loss reached 1.01 billion yuan and 759 million yuan respectively. In other words, in just one and a half years, Krypton has lost 1.769 billion yuan.

The crazy "burning money" of sub-brands also directly dragged down the overall profitability of Geely Automobile. In the first half of 2021-2022, the net profit of Geely Automobile was 4.847 billion yuan and 1.552 billion yuan respectively, and the year-on-year decline rate of net profit reached 12.4% and 34.81% respectively. As for the reasons for the further expansion of losses, Geely Automobile stated directly in the financial report that the relatively high operating costs of Krypton Automobile in the early stage of development and the confirmation of share-based payment fees in the current period were one of the reasons that adversely affected the profitability of the Group during the period.

It can be said that the climbing road of Krypton automobile is based on Geely automobile’s continuous blood transfusion. Nowadays, extremely krypton cars are eager for IPO. On the one hand, it can be seen that the capital market still shows great tolerance for new forces; On the other hand, it is also the bad situation caused by the group’s long-term blood transfusion behind the crazy burning of money by extremely krypton cars, which is in urgent need of IPO financing.

02, the core indicators are not good, not as good as "Wei Xiaoli"

Geely Automobile’s explanation of the development status of Krypton automobile in the financial report also gave the latter time to change course. However, with the acceleration of the electrification transformation of traditional car companies and the crazy invasion of cross-border people such as Huawei and Xiaomi, the competition faced by extremely-krypton cars is becoming increasingly fierce, and this battle is more filled with strong smoke compared with the increasingly mature head camp of new forces.

Schematic diagram of the comparison of the revenue of the new car-making forces in the first half of 2022 Tabulation: New Economic Observation Mission

First of all, from the volume point of view, the positioning of Krypton 001 has a certain competitive relationship with "Wei Xiaoli" and so on. In recent months, it has broken the sales performance of 10,000 vehicles, posing a great threat to the models such as Weilai ET5 and Tucki P7. However, judging from the volume of both sides, the revenue of extremely-krypton cars still cannot be compared with "Wei Xiaoli". According to the data of various financial reports, in the first half of 2022, Weilai, LI and Xpeng Motors achieved revenues of 20.2 billion yuan, 18.2 billion yuan and 14.8 billion yuan respectively, while the revenue of Krypton Automobile was only 8.8 billion yuan.

Graphic tabulation of gross profit margin of the new force of making cars in the first half of 2022: new economic observation group

At the same time, judging from the gross profit margin of various companies, there is a big gap between the profitability of extremely krypton cars and the head camp of new forces. According to An Conghui, CEO of Krypton Automobile, in the first half of 2022, the gross profit margin of Krypton automobile was around 5%. In the same period, the gross profit margins of LI, Weilai and Xpeng Motors reached 22.09%, 13.8% and 11.55% respectively.

The more serious situation is that Li Xiang, the founder of LI, revealed that the company is about to reach the turning point of breakeven. Li Bin, the founder of Weilai, also said that it is expected to break even in the fourth quarter of 2023. Obviously, the first batch of new car-making forces have touched the threshold of performance and profitability, while extremely krypton cars are still struggling in the whirlpool of losses.

Despite the poor performance, the capital market’s evaluation of extremely krypton cars is not low. In August, 2021, Krypton Auto completed the Pre-A round of strategic financing of US$ 500 million (equivalent to RMB 3.24 billion), with five ecological partners including Intel Capital and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited participating. After the completion of the investment, five companies got 5.6% of the shares of Extreme Krypton Automobile, and Geely Automobile’s shareholding dropped to 48%, but it is still the single largest shareholder of Extreme Krypton Automobile. At that time, the valuation of Krypton cars had reached $9 billion.

According to informed sources, this IPO in the United States will seek a valuation of more than 10 billion US dollars, and it is planned to be listed in new york as early as the second quarter of 2023. The reason why we abandoned the HKEx and chose new york as the listing place is to seek a higher valuation.

Looking at the new force "predecessors" car companies, "Wei Xiaoli" has taken the lead in listing in the United States. It took four years, six years and five years for the three companies to go public. If Krypton can really successfully pass the IPO within the predicted time, it means creating a record of the shortest time to market for new forces. And its valuation of nearly 70 billion yuan, although there is still a certain gap with Weilai (134 billion yuan) and Ideal (156.7 billion yuan), has surpassed the current market value of 57.6 billion yuan in Xpeng Motors and the zero-running car listed in September last year (the market value as of January 13 was 26.7 billion yuan).

It can be seen that although the performance is not satisfactory, the capital market still has high hopes for extremely krypton cars. However, there is a lesson that the stock price of the zero-run car broke and fell by more than 33% on the first day of listing. It is still unknown whether the extremely-krypton car can re-sample for the listing of new forces.

03, "Benchmarking Tesla", the road to high-end is not easy.

In addition to the embarrassing status quo, the problem of the extreme krypton car is that "ambition is not worthy of ability." From the emphatic wording of "the average order amount exceeds 336,000 yuan" in the sales posters of each issue, we can see that it is imperative for extreme krypton cars to hit the high end. After all, according to the definition of "high-end models" by the Federation, the starting price of products must exceed 300,000 yuan.

However, in the upsurge of "benchmarking Tesla" on the Internet, Extreme Krypton 001 played a configuration beyond Tesla such as "712km long battery life", hoping to raise the product positioning. However, in Tesla’s repeated price reduction boom, Krypton has lost its vital price advantage. As for the level of revenue and profitability, the two are not an order of magnitude.

One of the most critical problems that hinder krypton cars from taking the high-end road is that product problems emerge one after another.

On January 1, 2023, Extreme Krypton Automobile announced that the new Extreme Krypton 001 was officially launched, and the new car was fully upgraded at the configuration level. However, it failed to take into account the rights and interests of old car owners. Since January 2nd, there have been hundreds of complaints about "sales promise not fulfilled" in the online complaint platform, ranking first in the complaint list.

According to the old owner of Krypton 001, after the launch of the new model of 001, the "old" owners who decided in advance have received the "overlord clause" to cancel the lifetime warranty, and the related rights and interests have also shrunk. The car owners accused the car of "cutting leeks" and did not hesitate to make false marketing to harm the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

In addition, some car owners revealed that in addition to the change of rights and interests, the car also unilaterally locked the order automatically, which was inconsistent with the information promised at the beginning, and today’s terms are even more unreasonable. As of press time, Extreme Krypton Automobile has not announced the handling results of this incident.

Complaints against extremely krypton cars (partial) Image source: Car Quality Network

The actual situation is that there is a precedent for the "false marketing" of extremely krypton cars. On New Year’s Day last year, Extreme Krypton Automobile released the rights and interests of the Spring Festival, which led to the price of new cars under the same configuration being lower than the purchase price years ago, which triggered the rights protection of old car owners. After several rounds of games, Krypton finally reached a settlement with the old car owners in the form of "returning 5,000 yuan".

Since then, Krypton 001 has also experienced various questions and problems such as "disguised price increase", "replacement of motor", "EC light-sensing canopy goods are not on the right board" and "order delay". More importantly, after the incident, the authorities never paid enough attention to the owner of the extremely krypton car. Instead, they responded indifferently by destroying misleading legends and perfunctory apologies, which made the owner even more annoyed.

As we all know, one of the biggest differences between new forces and traditional car companies is that they are good at user marketing and often play the banner of "deeply linking users" in order to win the favor of more consumers. However, judging from the company’s performance, although it classifies itself as a new force, it still has the "arrogance and prejudice" of traditional car companies in its bones. This simple and rude response has had a negative impact on the brand image.

On January 9th of this year, the second new car, Extreme Krypton 009, was officially mass-produced, and it is expected to be officially delivered in the second half of January. The new car hit the "high-end" goal again, and the prices of the two models were 499,000 yuan and 588,000 yuan respectively.

However, even Jason Lin, vice president of Extreme Smart Technology, once said, "To meet the high end, it is not how much money is used to measure the high end, but whether you can represent the most important products in that market." No matter from the perspective of copying the bottom chip of Krypton 001 completely or the battery scheme that has not been optimized and upgraded, it is obvious that Krypton 009 has not controlled the core technology well.

To add insult to injury, the problem of false propaganda of Qianqiu Kyo 001 has not been properly solved, and Kyo 009 was controversial because of the advertisement "All pets are love" on the day of listing, and finally ended up deleting the advertisement. Prior to this, Li Xiang also questioned the interior space of the extremely krypton 009 and "poured cold water" on the listing of the new car. Nowadays, Krypton 009 has not been mass-produced and delivered, and it has suffered from public opinion crises one after another. This is really not a good sign.

For a company to be listed, the establishment time is too short, the loss situation of the company is increasing, and the product quality problems have been repeatedly criticized, which will become a stumbling block on the road to sprint IPO. Whether Geely can achieve the goal of high-end by relying on Krypton 009 can be successfully achieved, I am afraid it will take a long time to investigate.

Great Wall reported BYD, what is the truth?

  Source: southern window.

  "There is a new Great Wall in the north and BYD in the south." At the new car launch in 2022, Li Ruifeng, CGO of the Great Wall, still described the relationship between his family and his friends and businessmen as "North Qiao Feng, South Murong", just like appreciate each other between heroes.

  But it didn’t arrive in a year, and North Qiao Feng gave South Murong a sneak attack.

  On the morning of May 25th, Great Wall Motor issued a statement saying that it had submitted 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 Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i used atmospheric fuel tanks, which were suspected of failing to meet the emission standards of evaporative pollutants from the whole vehicle.

On May 25th, Great Wall Motor issued a statement/Source: Great Wall Motor WeChat WeChat official account.

  A few hours later, BYD made a statement saying that it resolutely opposed any form of unfair competition and reserved the right to legal proceedings. BYD said that the test vehicle submitted by Great Wall did not meet the requirements of the national standard, and that its test report was invalid.

  One is the abdicated crown, and the other is the popular new king. The Great Wall’s tip-off letter to BYD, like a hero’s post widely distributed all over the world, made the auto market, which was already in dispute with blood and rain, stir up waves again.

  Report what?

  If you want to understand this matter deeply, you need to first interpret the core of the Great Wall report letter, that is, the problem that "the atmospheric oil tank is suspected of causing the evaporation pollutant discharge to fail to meet the standard".

  Generally speaking, ordinary cars can use an atmospheric fuel tank. The fuel in the atmospheric fuel tank is controlled by atmospheric pressure and can be delivered to the engine by gravity or fuel pump.

  This kind of oil tank is generally made of plastic and designed to work at atmospheric pressure. The internal and external environment are kept at the same pressure, and the positive pressure is 4~7Kpa.

  However, for some hybrid vehicles, high-pressure fuel tanks are needed for the sake of emission standards.

  Because compared with fuel vehicles, the engine of hybrid vehicles is not used frequently, and gasoline is very volatile. If it is not used often, it will accumulate a lot of oil and gas over time and easily escape.

  Don’t underestimate these vaporized gasoline. The data show that fuel evaporation emissions account for about 20% of light vehicle emissions, which is one of the important sources of air pollution. The "National Six" emission standard has strict requirements on the fuel evaporation control system of automobiles, which makes hybrid vehicles need to solve this problem.

  As a result, the high-pressure fuel tank came into being. In the high-pressure fuel tank which can bear pressure of 35~40Kpa, oil and gas will remain in the fuel tank under high pressure, and will enter the manifold through the carbon canister when the engine is running, thus reducing the emission of fuel evaporation.

  BYD Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i belong to hybrid vehicles. Facing the emission demand, high-pressure fuel tanks may be needed to prevent oil and gas from escaping.

Qin PLUS DM-i/Source: BYD Auto official website

  After explaining the reporting point, let’s see if it is possible for BYD to use the atmospheric fuel tank.

  According to common sense, Great Wall Motor obviously has some evidence in its hands when it reports with such fanfare. In BYD’s response, it did not deny the use of atmospheric fuel tanks, explaining that the mileage of the test vehicles that focused on the Great Wall was insufficient, and it was the point that the test report was invalid.

  Due to the requirements of high-pressure fuel tanks for pressure resistance, the materials of such fuel tanks are mostly steel fuel tanks or encrypted plastics, and the matching fuel cap, fuel filling pipeline and evaporation pipeline also need to be specially made, and the cost is higher than that of atmospheric fuel tanks.

  From the point of cost reduction, BYD does have the motivation to use atmospheric fuel tanks.

  However, the hybrid vehicle using atmospheric fuel tank does not necessarily fail to meet the standard of fuel evaporative emission, which needs further testing and verification by relevant departments.

  The reason why BYD played "3,000 kilometers" actually has a saying.

  Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i, as plug-in hybrid cars, have versions with a battery life of more than 100 kilometers. If you only run the "450-670 km" in BYD’s response, there is a high probability that a box of oil has not been run.

Song PLUS DM-i/ Source: BYD Auto official website

  If a tank of oil is not run out, the frequency of natural internal combustion engine is not high. If it is left standing for a period of time and not kept and sent for inspection within the specified time, the test results may be biased and cannot objectively reflect the emission values of vehicles.

  Therefore, just looking at the first round of confrontation, the Great Wall only hammered BYD’s "atmospheric fuel tank", but it was temporarily unable to hammer BYD’s emissions.

  Why today?

  There is an interesting detail in the tip-off. Great Wall reported BYD on April 11th, one and a half months earlier than May 25th.

  Why is it so late? Is it because the two sides have communicated beforehand? Or did the Great Wall ever think about keeping a low profile?

  Perhaps none of the above reasons, but more likely because BYD’s new car Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition is scheduled to be released on the afternoon of May 25th.

BYD's new car Song Pro DM-i champion trailer/Source: BYD Weibo

  On the day when the car was replaced, it was "disgusting" to have friends and businessmen, and the "sneak attack" of the Great Wall was well prepared.

  Hammer you, although it didn’t reach the so-called "filing" in the report letter, the invisible damage caused is really real. It will change consumers’ minds invisibly-that is, BYD’s products are controversial and may have the behavior of "cutting corners".

  Even if these things are proved to be untrue in the end, this cognitive change has caused a negative impression.

  It doesn’t matter if you have any questions. But it’s important for consumers to feel "you have a problem".

  The so-called business war is to attack the minds of consumers.

  Of course, BYD’s response is also very interesting.

BYD issued a statement/Source: BYD Auto official website

  The whole response, eight paragraphs, seven exclamation points, an average of nearly one paragraph. The last three paragraphs, or even a single sentence into paragraphs, each sentence has an exclamation point. Anger and grievances are almost overflowing.

  The last sentence is even more straightforward. "I hope everyone will do more things that are beneficial to the industry and the China brand!"

  The implication is that what Great Wall has done is harmful to both the industry and the China brand.

  Since you attacked first, don’t blame me for being rude.

  In the past, the hero cherished the hero’s "North-South Double Heroes", thus breaking away. This situation reminds people of the kind advice of a 69-year-old veteran comrade-Wulin should value peace, emphasize martial arts and not engage in infighting.

  Frankly speaking, last year’s metaphor of the Great Wall actually raised its own worth and secretly degraded BYD.

  Today’s China auto market is no longer the era when Haval H6 dominated the world. Although the Great Wall is still in the first echelon of auto companies, it is far behind by BYD.

  In 2022, BYD sold 1,863,500 new cars, with an operating income of 424.061 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 96.2%. The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 16.622 billion, up 445.86% year-on-year.

  In contrast, the Great Wall sold only 1,061,700 new cars last year, with a total operating income of 137.34 billion yuan, a slight increase of 0.69% year-on-year; The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 8.266 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.90%.

  For BYD, 2022 is undoubtedly a bumper year. It has become the champion of its own brand, the champion of global new energy vehicles, and the champion of China automobile market, and it has won many "firsts".

On March 28th, BYD released its 2022 financial report/Source: BYD official.

  The Great Wall is still in a difficult transition in the switch between the old and new markets. The sales target of "1.9 million vehicles" set in 2022 was less than 60%. The sales of Haval, Wei Pai, Euler and pickup trucks under its control fell across the board, while the sales of new energy vehicles declined from 139,000 to 132,000 compared with the previous year.

  If you don’t want to describe them as Qiao Feng and Mu Rongfu, you have to change your position, and you have lost Mu Rongfu after Wang Yuyan.

  What I did was big brother

  Many people believe that BYD’s rise is based on new energy sources.

  This sentence is correct, but it is not detailed enough.

  Pure trams are new energy, and hybrid cars are also new energy. The most important thing about BYD’s strong rise in the past two years is that plug-in hybrid vehicles have gained wide market recognition.

  In 2021, BYD successively launched three models: Qin PLUS DM-i, Song PLUS DM-i and Tang DM-i, which achieved the coverage of the mainstream price range of 100,000-200,000.

  As a result, in the second year, sales broke out. BYD sold 946,200 hybrid cars, accounting for 50.94% of the total sales. The sales volume of BYD Song PLUS DM-i alone was as high as 380,000.

  The same thing happened in the whole China market. In 2022, the sales growth rate of plug-in hybrid vehicles reached 150% year-on-year, and the growth rate of ultra-pure electric vehicles was 82%.

  Plug-in hybrid cars with green license, exemption from purchase tax, subsidy and electricity saving are the "wealth code" of China auto market.

  Great Wall Motor certainly saw through this. Although it started later than BYD, it soon joined the research and development of hybrid technology. In 2018, Great Wall Motor developed a new hybrid platform, which is now the lemon hybrid DHT system.

  However, consumers who know that "the Great Wall is also very mixed" are far from knowing that "BYD is very mixed". The reason is that the "coffee series" of the Great Wall really sells badly.

  On the one hand, the positioning of Macchiato DHT is slightly higher than that of Song PLUS DM-i, and the entry version is 20,000 yuan higher; On the other hand, the naming of "Macchiato" is controversial, which leads to its poor market recognition. In the end, due to the small sales volume, consumers can’t perceive the hybrid technology of the Great Wall, which makes the Great Wall lose its first-Mover advantage.

  If this technology had been devolved to Haval H6 earlier, it is likely that the current SUV hybrid market is by no means a monopoly of Song Plus DM-I.

  The former Haval H6, which has won the championship for 100 consecutive months, is a well-deserved "magic car" in China. Until January of 2022, Haval H6 was still the dominant player in SUV field.

  Unfortunately, it was not until mid-August of 2022 that the mixed version of Haval H6 came late. At this time, the sales volume of H6 has fallen to the fifth place, and not only Song PLUS has surpassed it, but also Yuan PLUS has surpassed it.

  The failure to grasp the mixed outlet is an important reason why the Great Wall is now trapped in transformation and its sales volume has fallen sharply. I want to make the brand high-end and new energy at the same time, and finally the Great Wall of "one fish and two meals" failed to do both things well. Looking back, this is undoubtedly a strategic mistake of the Great Wall.

  Although there are many consumers who sing the Great Wall, from the market value point of view, Great Wall Motor with a volume of 210 billion+is still the "second brother" after BYD.

  This time, the "second brother" challenged the "big brother". Although it is somewhat embarrassing, it is also the norm in business competition.

  Aboveboard peer supervision also protects the interests of consumers to some extent. If there is unfair competition, I believe that the relevant institutions will eventually give the enterprise an innocence and give a statement after verification.
