Xiaopeng Automobile has gradually developed into the industry's first, at the same time its founder He Xiaopeng also has more confidence, in the development process, not afraid to openly argue with Musk, claiming to build a Chinese version of Tesla, try to ask He Xiaopeng what is so powerful, can be so arrogant?
In fact, just look at his entrepreneurial history, He Xiaopeng does have its strength, during the university, He Xiaopeng formulated a desire to achieve wealth freedom by the age of 40, in order to realize this wish, he did not hesitate to quit a stable job and start a business with his brother.
Unexpectedly, it was this venture that made He Xiaopeng famous in the business circle, and he and his brothers created the well-known UC browser, ranking second in the global market, and in just a few years, the number of its users has exceeded 400 million.
At that time, UC, which was at the top of the traffic, was also targeted by major domestic capital, He Xiaopeng saw that the self-created enterprise was about to be divided, so he immediately reached a cooperation with Alibaba, sold UC to Ma Yun, and successfully cashed out 30 billion yuan from it, it is worth noting that He Xiaopeng was only 37 years old this year.
After selling UC to Ma Yun, He Xiaopeng is also an employee of Ma Yun, who can live a pension life, but from the current situation, even if he achieves his goal, he did not stop his entrepreneurial road, but took this set of 30 billion yuan, threw himself into a more expensive car, and created Xiaopeng Automobile in 2014.
At the beginning of its creation, Tesla has achieved good results in the international market, so He Xiaopeng can also be regarded as a future development goal, and clearly stated that he wants to create a Chinese version of Tesla and let the Chinese people drive their own electric vehicles.
He Xiaopeng, who has a goal, has indeed made great achievements in car building, according to relevant information, in November 2021, Xiaopeng Automobile delivered a total of 15613 vehicles, and Weilai and Ideal delivered 10878 vehicles and 13485 vehicles respectively.
In terms of delivery volume, Xiaopeng Motors has undoubtedly become the champion of domestic sales, and He Xiaopeng, who has achieved certain results, has also set a longer-term goal for future development, bluntly saying that by 2024, it will also achieve mass production of flying cars in new fields.
Perhaps looking at such a sales situation alone, many people will think that the development of Xiaopeng Automobile has been smooth sailing, but it is more surprising that Xiaopeng Automobile is also the most serious loss in the case of selling more, with an average loss of 60,000 per car sold.
However, in the face of this series of losses, He Xiaopeng, as its founder, does not seem to be worried, he has posted a challenge to Tesla through his social media accounts, bluntly saying that after the emergence of Xiaopeng's new model, it is bound to crush Tesla.
He Xiaopeng's move also directly caused Musk's dissatisfaction, when the new model of Xiaopeng Automobile was launched, Musk sent a lawyer letter to He Xiaopeng, pointing out that Xiaopeng Automobile was suspected of copying its advanced technology.
In December 2021, when He Xiaopeng was asked about his relationship with Musk, he said that he was a friend and a strong competitor, which also showed that although his auto industry is still losing money, this has not changed He Xiaopeng's determination to build a Chinese Tesla.
From the perspective of reality, Xiaopeng Automobile wants to become China's Tesla, the future is still facing no small challenges, first of all, during 2021, Tesla's annual sales reached a new high, exceeding 930,000 vehicles, once again in the forefront.
Looking at the development of Xiaopeng Automobile, although in the same period of time, its sales rose by 109.1%, but its total sales are still less than 100,000 vehicles, compared with the US company Tesla, it is obvious that there is still a lot of difference, so in this case, He Xiaopeng wants to achieve the goal of building a Chinese Tesla, and there will be many difficulties in the future.
More importantly, even if Xiaopeng Automobile has made significant progress now, because sales are still relatively limited and its hematopoietic ability is not strong, it is only 1/5 of Tesla's annual investment in research and development, so the gap between the two sides is bound to continue to widen.
I have to say that He Xiaopeng still has a long way to go on the road of challenging Tesla, and Volkswagen believes that Xiaopeng Automobile is expected to surpass Tesla in the future?
