Why have companies that are not mixed well begun to enter the new energy automobile industry in recent years? Such as the previous Evergrande Automobile, plus the recent Didi Automobile?
As everyone knows, Evergrande is a real estate company mainly engaged in real estate business. But Xu Jiayin said before that Evergrande will transform into a company based on new energy vehicles in the next 10 years.
Obviously, Xu Jiayin is thinking of playing a beautiful turnaround battle in the field of new energy vehicles, in order to pay off the ZW owed by Evergrande Group.
Didi's Cheng Wei is in line with Xu Jiayin's ideas. Since Didi was listed in the U.S. stock market last year, Didi has ushered in various unfavorable news.
First of all, the Didi APP was removed, and then the domestic online car industry broke out again, a number of online car players began to attack didi's hinterland, and then the market value of Didi company fell all the way, the current market value of Didi is only 19.3 billion US dollars, and the previous market value of nearly 80 billion US dollars is far away.
Not only has Didi's market value evaporated significantly, but Didi's development in new business areas has also been extremely unsmooth.
Needless to say, the same city running errands and the same city freight launched by Didi before, the most injured to Didi is the loss of Didi in the field of community group buying.
Judging from the financial report released by Didi before, in just over a year, Didi has lost more than 20 billion yuan in the field of community group buying, for which Didi also announced that it will gradually close Didi's community group buying across the country.
Faced with a series of difficult problems, Didi founder Cheng Wei recently made an important decision.
What was Didi's big decision? That is, Didi or will personally go down to build a car.
According to relevant media, Didi may be ready to publicly announce its car-making plan to the outside world in June this year, and a year later, that is, in June next year, Didi's first new energy vehicle can be successfully delivered.
Looking around, companies such as Xiaomi in the Internet field, Ali Tencent and now Didi Chuxing are participating in the new energy automobile industry in different ways.
So the question is, why did Xu Jiayin and Cheng Wei both think of building cars? To put it bluntly, it is because the two see the huge industrial opportunity of new energy vehicles.
Let's put it this way, at present, new energy vehicles are the most certain trend in the world, and this industry is large enough to transform large companies such as Didi and Evergrande.
For Didi, Didi wants to build its own moat by owning its own car. Because we all know that the reason why Didi has become the hegemonic company in the domestic online ride-hailing industry before. In essence, it benefits from the drive of capital, and companies such as Japan's SoftBank and Tencent are shareholders of Didi.
To be sure, Xu Jiayin and Cheng Wei were right. But the crux of the matter is that whether It is Didi or Evergrande, whether it can occupy a place in the field of new energy vehicles, it is difficult to say.
You know, the automobile industry is an industry that respects technological precipitation, not that you can build a car with money. Besides, Evergrande wasn't very rich before, why didn't even Evergrande Ice Spring do a good job?
Of course, it is good that these large companies are transitioning to the megatrends of the future, and that is what we need to affirm. It can only be said that building a car is a good road, but it is not good, and it is very likely to move towards the next big pit. I don't know what netizens think?
