At 19 o'clock on the evening of December 16, standing in the center of the stage of Beijing Cadillac Center (formerly Wukesong Stadium), for his 1116-day car-making career, Li Bin, the founder and chairman of Weilai Automobile, gave a perfect appearance. Explain.
On this day, Weilai's first production car, the high-performance intelligent pure electric 7-seat SUV model ES8, was officially released and opened for booking. The pre-subsidy price was 448,000 yuan and 548,000 yuan respectively. The car accelerates 4.4 seconds per 100 kilometers, and has a single-charge cruising range of 355 kilometers under comprehensive conditions. It has a unique "Queen's Vice-Drive", advanced automatic driving assistance, and a 3-minute power exchange service.
This is the highest-priced Chinese brand car as of now. Before the emergence of Weilai ES8, Chinese brand cars have been struggling to break the “100,000 yuan ceilingâ€. For this reason, Li Shufu has spent 20 years, and Li Bin only used it for 3 years, and also broke through in a triple jump. 400,000 yuan.
This is also the most prominent Chinese brand new car launch conference. As the host of the field, Mrs. Li Bin’s wife Wang Zhizhi revealed that the new car conference invited more than 5,000 Weilai reservation car owners to come to the scene. For this purpose, they used 9 charter flights, more than 100 bus charters, and five of the capital’s north fourth ring. Star hotel is full. It is reported that the total investment of Weilai’s new car conference was as high as 80 million yuan, but this data has not been confirmed.
Within 10 days after the conference, “Flowers and Big Sticks†went to Li Bin and Wei Lai. In general, praise is far more than criticism; blessing is more than voicing. For example, it is believed that Li Bin and his car crushed the new force of the car to create a prejudice of "PPT car": "On the same stage, what did Jia Yueting fail to do, Li Bin did it." At the same time, although the absolute price of Weilai's first production car is not low, many people think that the price is very high, because the domestic and the car with almost the configuration and performance of the car, the price to reach a million.
However, there are also views that as the first press conference of a newly-created car company, this well-received press conference still has regrets. This regret is not what Li Bin believes to exist in the "grab red envelope" and "enter the scene." "When the experience is part of the experience, the press conference is willing to spend time to let Liu Qiangdong’s wife Zhang Zetian say that her husband made the investment decision in only 10 seconds, but did not let Weilai’s design and R&D team show up.
If the design and R&D team of Weilai Auto can present and elaborate some ideas, is it the question that the highest frequency of the spit can be answered or avoided? For example, as an electric car, why did Wei Lai design such a "huge" intake grille? Why is the cruising range not designed to be very long? Why is it that from the perspective of the car itself, Wei is more like assembling parts together and lacking their own technical highlights?
What is even more worrying is that the factory responsible for assembling this car is Jianghuai, whose quality control ability is not optimistic. A friend noticed that when Li Bin introduced his partner Jianghuai at the press conference, he also avoided using the Chinese name that everyone is very familiar with, but adopted its English name abbreviation “JACâ€.
However, Li Bin still has not escaped everyone's questioning of this issue. On the morning of December 17, Li Bin, who had only slept for two hours after the press conference, was interviewed by the media station of Weilai Auto at NIO House in Beijing Oriental Plaza. The land was thrown at Li Bin, so that Li Bin laughed and said that the problem of foundry "will cry again."
Li Bin said that he does not know why everyone has such a negative evaluation of Jianghuai. Why don't you ask Apple (mobile phone) not to make it yourself?
This is the case, a message came later. On December 25th, a technology giant from the traditional automotive industry - former Volvo Car's high-performance brand Polestar global CTO and China's president, Volvo China R & D company president Shen Feng officially joined Wei Lai, as the Wei Lai car The Vice President of Quality and the Chairman of the Quality Management Committee are responsible for the overall management of their quality and report to Li Bin, President of Weilai Motors.
It is understood that Shen Feng has worked in Geely and Volvo for nearly eight years, and has made great contributions to the acquisition of Volvo by Volley, the realization of the domestic and R&D center of Volvo in China, and the preparation of the Geely Lectra project.
It is widely believed that this is Li Bin’s action to solve the problem of the outside world’s foundry.
In fact, judging from the information disclosed so far, as a new force in building a car, it is not the product but the car and user experience that wants to subvert.
At the ES8 conference, Li Bin only emphasized the core technology of Weilai. When introducing the three parking spaces and using the three-minute power station, he said that the power station has more than 300 patents. Li Bin’s slogan for his product is: “Where the petrol car arrives, the ES8 will be able to arrive.â€
This solution and slogan seem to be based on the shortcomings of the competition, the investment required is huge, and the profitability prospects are not seen until the sales volume has reached a certain scale.
A Weilai reservation car owner told Yu News that he learned from Weilai's sales consultant that if you want to get a one-stop service such as changing the electricity, you need to buy a service pack of more than 800 yuan per month, which costs more than using a car. The monthly fee, so he has not yet decided whether to finalize the purchase.
However, Li Bin is full of confidence. "Climb the mountain and meet the water." He said, "I can make money if we want to make it clear."
Although Weilai is not optimistic about everyone, many people are looking forward to seeing Wei's success. It is reported that the current number of investors in Weilai has reached 56, and they have already raised more than 14 billion yuan for Weilai. Its well-known of the six founding investor - Tencent Ma, Jingdong Liu Qiang East, Lei Jun millet technology, Hillhouse Capital Zhang Lei, Li Xiang car and home, and Li Bin himself, called for half of China's Internet industry. "Even if you don't believe in Li Bin, you should believe in the power of capital." An industry insider laughed, "It is good to gather half of the power of the Internet to end the era of luxury brands in China."
"Great companies don't exist for profit." Li Bin said that he believes that the real opportunity for smart electric vehicles is to give Chinese brands a chance to go up. “In China, it is impossible for any traditional company to create a brand that can compete with Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but smart electric vehicles give us a chance to run first.â€
