As we all know, some time ago Wang Jianlin announced that he had changed the car, and he was leading Wanda executives to change the car together, when many netizens were curious about a question, what car would Wang Jianlin change? Is it the Red Flag H9 or the Red Flag L Series? Some netizens even said that Wang Jianlin was just talking, in fact? Wang Jianlin said that he must do what he said, this Red Flag H9 extended version is his car, because the delivery is not long, so it is not on the license.
Hongqi H9+ is a model lengthened on the basis of Hongqi H9, the most obvious difference in appearance is the B-pillar, after the B-pillar is extended, the wheelbase of the whole vehicle is lengthened by 200mm, so the total length reaches 5337mm. In fact, this car is not as simple as lengthening, the most important thing is that it is limited to 100 units, and it can be customized according to personal preferences. Because the customization project is different, so the price of each car is different, Wang Jianlin's car is at least more than 1 million, but his car is not the first car, but the first model.
In fact, Wang Jianlin has always been a German fan, the car in the early 90s was Mercedes-Benz 600SEL, and then the car was still a German car, but it was replaced by an Audi A8L, and after the Audi A8 was decommissioned, it was directly upgraded to the Maybach 57S, if it were not for the cooperation with FAW Group, I think Wang Jianlin might still choose German cars to change cars, it is possible to change luxury cars such as Maybach S, but now it has been replaced by domestic cars. I don't know if you have considered this question, what does it mean for Wang Jianlin to change to a domestic car?
Abandoning the German system to choose domestic production shows that domestic cars have risen. Just think of a question, why didn't Wang Jianlin cooperate with FAW Group 5 years ago? Why today? Look at the sales of Hongqi cars in recent years, maybe you will understand. Data show that from January to November 2021, Hongqi's sales were 240065 vehicles, 190863 vehicles in 2020, 98583 vehicles in 2019, 25520 vehicles in 2018, and 4452 vehicles in 2017. Imagine a question, if Wang Jianlin cooperated with FAW in 2017, when FAW Hongqi only sold 4452 vehicles a year, and it was the entire channel, even if these cars were sold by Wanda, how much money could it make?
Cooperation pays attention to timing, now domestic cars in China began to exert force in an all-round way, not only Hongqi, BYD, Changan, Geely, etc. have achieved rapid development, especially in the sinking market, cars within 150,000, sooner or later are the world of domestic cars, after doing the sinking market, it will naturally be done upwards. However, some netizens have also asked another question, on sales, FAW Hongqi is not as good as BYD and Geely, why not look for them to cooperate?
All cooperation has its own needs, Wanda must have what FAW Group wants, FAW Group must have what Wanda needs, and cooperation will only be achieved if each has its own needs. I feel that Wang Jianlin's sale of Hongqi cars is just the beginning, and it is likely that he will continue to cooperate with other brands in the future. As a partner of domestic cars, the car that travels must choose a domestic car, which is called what you don't want to do to others.
