The white elephant soared 300,000 powder out of the circle

Following Hongxing Erke and Bee Flower, the domestic instant noodle brand White Elephant is also hot out of the circle!

In the recent week, the official account of White Elephant Douyin has added nearly 300,000 fans, and the cumulative sales of the official Douyin live broadcast room of White Elephant are 10.1128 million yuan, accounting for 77% of sales in the past month.

Not long ago, the 3.15 evening party exposed the "soil pit sauerkraut", unification, Master Kong are implicated, and white elephant food replied in the Weibo comments: "One sentence: no cooperation, rest assured to eat, the body is not afraid of the shadow oblique." Since then, White Elephant Food has once again made it clear that it has never cooperated with the flagging vegetable industry.

During this year's Winter Paralympic Games in Beijing, some media reported that one-third of the employees of the white elephant were disabled, and refused to allow Japanese companies to participate in the shares, triggering heated discussion among netizens.

Due to the surge in sales in the short term, some products of the White Elephant Taobao flagship store are currently out of stock, most of the products are in the pre-sale state, and the situation of Jingdong's self-operated stores is similar. In this regard, the white elephant issued an announcement on the e-commerce platform, calling on consumers to "eat how much to buy, do not waste" .

In recent years, the instant noodle market has gradually become highly concentrated, under the squeeze of brands such as Unity, Master Kong, and Immalang, the white elephant has gradually faded out of sight, and it is difficult for offline supermarkets to find its figure. I don't know if this accident out of the circle can let the white elephant play a beautiful turnaround battle?

In one week, 9 car companies raised the price of new energy vehicles

New energy vehicles ushered in a wave of rising prices.

According to statistics, since March 15, 9 new energy vehicles have announced price increases in a week, including Tesla, BYD, Chery New Energy, Xiaopeng, Nezha, Zero Run, Geometry, Weima, and Great Wall Euler, with price increases ranging from 3,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan.

Among them, the biggest increase is the zero-running car that has just announced its IPO in Hong Kong, and its zero-run C11 premium version and performance version have both increased by 30,000 yuan, and the adjusted price is 209,800 yuan and 229,800 yuan respectively.

The main reason for this sudden wave of collective price increases is the rise in the cost of raw materials. The data shows that the recent comprehensive quotation of the battery-grade lithium carbonate market is 480,000 yuan / ton to 522,000 yuan / ton, compared with 50,000 yuan / ton in the same period last year, an increase of nearly ten times.

On March 19, Ideal CEO Li Xiang gave an interpretation of the matter: "At present, brands that have contracted with battery manufacturers to determine the price increase in the second quarter have basically announced price increases immediately. If there is no price increase, most of them have not yet been negotiated, and the price will generally increase immediately after waiting for the negotiation. From this point of view, the ideal ONE will join the ranks of price increases in the near future.

In addition, not long ago, the oil price also officially broke through the threshold of 9 yuan, which made it difficult for consumers who had not yet bought a car. On the one hand, there are expensive fuel costs, and on the other hand, the price of new energy vehicles has increased, which makes people shout "I really can't afford to drive a car.".
