Hongqi and Tesla were officially launched in the United States and achieved good results.
Especially for Hongqi, after various test drive videos came out, everyone has a more intuitive view of Hongqi.
Many people who were about to buy a car couldn't help but take a look and take a test drive. After the test drive, many people suddenly fell in love with pure electric cars.
The performance is great, and it is much more comfortable to drive than a traditional car. At the same time, the configuration is relatively high, and the beautiful interior makes many people fall in love with this car at once.
Hongqi’s data in China has also been publicized in the United States. Throughout 2019, Hongqi became the sales champion of Chinese automobile brands.
The sales volume of the Hongqi brand in China is as high as 3.5 million vehicles, which is very scary. At the same time, the quality has also been tested over time, and it has performed very well in China.
In fact, before Tesla and Hongqi came to the United States, they were already very famous in the United States. Many American car editors have gone to China more than once to make videos.
China's pure electric cars are also the envy of many countries. Now pure electric cars are finally on the market in the United States, and some people can finally buy them and play with them.
Compared with Tesla's orders, Hongqi's sales in the United States are much better. After all, the price is relatively cheap, and wages in the United States are high, so buying a car is actually not difficult.
Just when Tesla's U.S. factory was put into production, a meeting was being held at the headquarters of the American auto giant General Motors.
Such meetings have been held for a long time. As a former automobile giant, General Motors once shone in the entire world.
But in recent years, General Motors has been like a sluggish old man. It went bankrupt and reorganized during the 2008 economic crisis.
But after the reorganization, it still cannot recover, just like an old man, getting older little by little.
The past two years have been more serious. Affected by the Chinese market, GM's life has become even more difficult. The rise of China's new energy vehicles has been so rapid that global car companies have not expected it.
After losing the trial production in China, GM not only lost the Chinese market. It also suffered devastation from other brands in major markets around the world.
Especially German and Japanese brands. After they lost their market in China, they began to focus on North America, Europe and other regions, trying hard to regain the lost market.
Under such circumstances, GM's life is becoming increasingly difficult. Now it is once again facing a bankruptcy crisis.
Not long ago, General Motors laid off nearly 20,000 employees in North America and closed six factories. All of this shows that General Motors is having a hard time.
"This morning, news came back from Tesla. They expressed their willingness to conduct technical cooperation with our General Motors Group."
As soon as the meeting began, a piece of news put a sad smile on the faces of the shareholders who participated in the meeting. If General Motors wants to regain its vitality now, it must transform.
Traditional fuel vehicles have little hope. Now major car companies around the world are working hard to develop pure electric vehicles.
In the field of pure electric vehicles, Tesla has the most advanced technology. If it can cooperate with Tesla, GM may be resurrected.
"But Tesla has one condition. That is that it hopes to acquire our Hummer brand for US$100 million."
After hearing this condition, the major shareholders couldn't help but start discussing quietly. What they discussed was not whether it could be sold, but whether this matter could be solved.
The Hummer brand has been shut down. For General Motors, it is just a piece of garbage thrown into the garbage heap. It is like a waste product and cannot create any profit.
Since it cannot create profits, the brand has no value. However, although the Hummer brand has no value to GM, it cannot be sold just by selling it.
A long time ago, a Chinese automobile company wanted to acquire Hummer. However, it was blocked by the US government and the transaction was not successful. In the end, General Motors had no choice but to shut down the Hummer brand.
"Everyone, we at General Motors have reached the most critical moment. I hope we can all work together. I will work hard to persuade the government to agree to this acquisition. In this way, we can reach cooperation with Tesla on new energy vehicles. In the future,
Our company's main focus will be shifted from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles."
General Motors President George Cent said seriously. Now General Motors is at the critical point of life and death. If they want to be resurrected, they must move faster.
Now German car companies and Japanese car companies have joined forces with each other. Several German car giants have begun to deploy charging piles on a large scale in Europe.
Japanese car companies have also joined in, deploying charging piles in Europe, North America and other parts of the world.
They are fighting for standards and charging standards. Whoever masters this standard will take the initiative in the future.
The standards they use are different from China's automobile standards. The loss of the Chinese market has led these car companies to unite and prepare to stabilize the external market before focusing on the Chinese market.
What depresses American companies the most is that German and Japanese companies are participating in the game without bringing American car companies to play with them. Whether it is General Motors, Ford or Chrysler, they have no intention of playing with them.
The reason for doing this is because of profit. After losing the Chinese market, the North American market is crucial to the Germans and Japanese.
If they lose the North American market again, their life will be even more difficult. But the European and American markets are the strongholds of the American series. If they play with the American series, then it is not certain who will play with whom in the end.
So now the Germans and the Japanese are uniting, one is deploying in North America, the other is deploying in Europe, and the other is deploying in other parts of Asia.
Relying on their own technical strength, their pace is much faster than that of the American team.
Complex, the current global auto market is called complex. After the strong rise of Tesla, it disrupted the global auto market.
This chaotic market has made life difficult for almost all car brands. The market share of Japanese brands in China has dropped rapidly, so now Japanese brands mainly operate in the North American market, while stabilizing the markets in Southeast Asia, India and other countries.
The German brand is working hard to open up the European market, while the American brand is now working hard to stabilize its market in North America.
As for car brands from other countries, life is even more difficult. Korean brands have basically withdrawn from the Chinese market. Their market share in Europe and North America is also declining.
Times are hard, so now everyone is looking for a way out. American brands have seen hope after the trade war between China and the United States ended.
This time it is not just General Motors that is cooperating. Ford and Chrysler are also seeking cooperation. Their strategy is simple: to join forces with China to develop the new energy vehicle market.
