Chapter 0162 own brand special pit of their own people
"Do you really want to choose a domestic car?" Xu Yun said with wide eyes.
Jiang Zixue nodded: "Of course, isn't the purpose just to keep a low profile? To keep a low profile, you can only choose domestically produced cars."
Xu Yun is not criticizing domestic products. He obviously supports domestic products, but he just hopes that domestic products will not be so disappointing.
Let’s just talk about cars. Some car companies are indeed a bit too evil.
If you buy a cheap car for the sake of bargaining, you will have your clutch, gearbox, oil pump and even brake system broken all over within a year.
I’m not being shady or being disrespectful, I’m just seeking truth from facts. Many people may say that Xu Yun’s approach is too one-sided, because many people who care about driving have never had any problems even if they have driven domestically produced cars for three to five years.
But the fact is that it is a common situation. After all, the basic manufacturing capabilities of domestically produced cars are still very weak, and they have very few core technologies. It can even be said that they are very dependent on foreign engineering, technology and assistance.
To put it more bluntly, anyone who really understands cars can take apart some domestically produced cars and see how many of them have chassis directly purchased from foreign scraps?
How many cars have engines that are used overseas for more than ten years?
Why? Because domestic brands are eager for quick success and quick profits, many independent car companies are keen on reverse development but do not think about innovation. They aim to make quick money, causing technology to stagnate!
These independent car companies should spend more money on research and don't throw money into looking for car dealers online. Car dealers cannot afford to support a bad car.
There is also a very important reason. In any circle in China, it is believed that "foreign monks can recite sutras." Just like the Internet literary circle, outdated writers poached from outside are treated better than popular local writers.
Independent car brands also make the same mistake and tend to introduce mid- to low-end personnel from American imperial car manufacturers!
Those who come back from Detroit as their senior leaders, these people are usually not up to the level of senior staff!
The Chinese automobile manufacturing plant is very aggressive in hiring foreign personnel, and they don’t even think about how the city of Detroit would have ended up like that if these people had the skills.
In the end, the overall assembly process is not up to par. Even though internationally renowned parts are purchased, the assembly level, material matching, system integration and vehicle paint finish are still disappointing.
This is where Xu Yun is disappointed with domestic brands.
There is no intention to discredit domestically produced cars, nor is there any intention to promote imported cars.
"I think you should still take a look at joint venture cars. There is a reason why I don't recommend you buy domestically produced cars." Xu Yundao said: "I'm worried that for people like you who are used to driving luxury cars, the gap will suddenly be too big."
"There is not much difference between five or six million and five or six million or hundreds of thousands." Jiang Zixue insisted: "I want to support domestic products, and domestic products should strengthen themselves."
If someone wants to criticize those who support the domestic boycott of Japanese products, Xu Yun can also tell these people that there are thirty Japanese companies on the list of the top 100 global auto parts suppliers.
But there is no one in China.
In the list of the top 100 global auto parts suppliers, the United States and Japan each account for 30, followed closely by Germany with 17, so don’t be too proud if you drive German cars, and don’t look down on others.
Car series.
One thing I have to admit is that in the global automobile industry chain, Japan plays the role of a basic parts production base.
Take automatic transmissions as an example. Many key components, including European and American models and self-owned brand models, are actually produced locally in Japan!
So don’t drive a domestic car and insult those who drive Japanese cars as traitors. In fact, the Japanese parts used in your car are really similar to the Japanese parts used in other joint venture Japanese cars.
"It would be great if domestic products really focused on self-improvement." Xu Yun shook his head helplessly: "This is just my personal opinion. Nowadays, domestic products are just using patriotism to make money from their own people."
"Domestic cars are so cheap, how can they still make money?" Jiang Zixue said: "Stop making trouble."
Xu Yun chuckled: "If I remember correctly, China's per capita GDP should be only more than 40,000 yuan, and the US empire should be more than 50,000 US dollars, right?"
Jiang Zixue nodded: "Yes, the U.S. Empire is about the same as Canada, both cost more than 50,000 US dollars..."
"Okay, this thing is linked to income." Xu Yundao said: "What kind of car can an old American buy with a per capita GDP of 50,000 US dollars?
Mercedes-Benz CLA45AMG, the world's most powerful four-cylinder engine, sells for $48,000.
Ford Mustang GT, 5.0-liter V8 engine, sells for $32,000.
Chevrolet Camaro SS, 6.2-liter V8 engine, $35,000.
Subaru WRX, 2.5-liter turbocharged inline four engine, only $26,000.”
Jiang Zixue was shocked: "You know quite a lot. It seems that I really gave the Ferrari right as a gift."
"Everyone's per capita GDP is more than 50,000 US dollars, so you can choose any of these performance cars." Xu Yundao said: "Look at China, the per capita GDP is more than 40,000 RMB. Do you want me to talk about cars with more than 40,000 RMB?"
Jiang Zixue nodded. She came here to choose a domestic car at this price. Of course she was all ears: "I just want to buy one under 50,000 yuan."
"BAIC Weiwang Bread, Changhe Freda Bread, Changan Bread, Dongfeng Bread, Jinbei Bread, Wuling Hongguang Bread, Hafei Bread, or Bread." Xu Yun shook his head helplessly and said, "Except for minivans,
In addition, there are only small cars such as BYD's Dandan, Baojun's Lexi, Chery's QQ, Geely's Panda, JAC's Yueyue, and Zotye's Jiangnan TT. For more than 40,000 yuan, you can't buy the top-end models, let alone the performance.
"
Jiang Zixue opened her mouth wide: "I...I can't drive a van."
"I didn't let you buy a van either." Xu Yundao said: "But you said you wanted to buy one under 50,000 yuan, so there really aren't many choices."
"No...I don't even have confidence in what you said." Jiang Zixue said: "But if you put it this way, I suddenly feel that Chinese people are so rich, and there are too many people driving luxury cars."
"Chinese people are indeed rich." Xu Yundao said: "And they also have good reputation."
Jiang Zixue smiled. She knew this very well. Many people with a monthly income of one or two thousand also drove cars. You must know that their income in North America is not as good as that of the poor who receive relief funds.
"Then what car do you recommend me to buy?" Jiang Zixue said.
Xu Yun shrugged his shoulders: "Whatever, it depends on what you like. If you support domestic production, of course I will support you too. I can only hope that if you support domestic production, they can really use it for research and development and innovation.
Engage in technology instead of stuffing this money into the leaders’ pockets and then continue to use those technologies that have been eliminated from abroad to deceive our own people.”
Jiang Zixue laughed: "If they were all conscientious car companies, they would not let joint venture cars occupy China's market for so many years."
"Yes, think about it. Volkswagen's car with a broken axle can sell so well in China, Audi's oil-burning car can sell so well in China, and Buick's oil-hungry car can sell so well in China. Why?"
Xu Yundao: "It's not because the independent brands are not strong enough."
Jiang Zixue stuck out her tongue: "I think you should really gather the bosses of independent brand car companies and hold a symposium for them to let them clearly realize their shortcomings and let them know what kind of mistakes they have made.
.”
"I think so too, but it's a pity that those leaders cannot listen to others." Xu Yundao said: "Everyone is arrogant and conceited. Little do they know that the card of patriotism cannot last a lifetime."
"Consumers are not stupid." Jiang Zixue said: "Everyone knows it."
Xu Yun laughed: "However, I think since you have never supported domestic production, you should indeed support it."
"Hmm." Jiang Zixue nodded: "If I feel that I have been cheated, I will not support them in the future and let them fend for themselves."
"That's right, they won't give back to the Chinese people anyway when they develop. Just like Haval, they are supported by the Chinese people, but they start to increase prices. The cheapest H1 dares to sell for 70,000." Xu Yundao: "Independent car companies
Sooner or later it will be destroyed in the hands of people like them."
