OPPO and vivo jointly build a car? To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if this were true.
Although Duan Yongping, OPPO, and Vivo subsequently denied the possibility of joint car manufacturing. But for the construction of cars, OV still maintains an ambiguous attitude.
After all, in this era when almost everyone can build a car, as Foxconn Gou said, an electric car is just an iPhone with four wheels. Mobile phone manufacturers entering the field of car manufacturing seem to have a natural advantage.
Look at OV's counterparts in China, and who else hasn't had a relationship with cars.
Xiaomi's car-making project has been really dried up. Lord Lei Jun personally took command and staked his entire reputation in life. From the official announcement to the present, in just a few months, the project can be said to be as fast as the Xiaomi mobile phone running score. The production plant has settled in Yizhuang, Beijing, the automobile trademark has been registered, and the 1 billion EV talent equity incentive plan has been approved, waiting for the auto people to rush to run. Even the timetable for mass production of the first model has been clearly announced, in the first half of 2024.
Perhaps from the perspective of the automotive industry, three years from scratch, the speed of car manufacturing and mass production is inevitably exaggerated. But in the style of Xiaomi and Lei Jun, it will definitely not fight an unprepared battle. Perhaps long before the official announcement, a series of car design drawings had been placed on Lei Jun's desk.
Huawei's car is still hidden. Perhaps it is too strong a technical strength to make partners feel threatened, so Huawei has repeatedly stated that it does not build cars, but is willing to be the "soul engineer" of all car companies. It is true that using Hongmeng to control the "soul" of all the car system is far more interesting than creating its own "body", but SAIC has seen through this.
Every time the righteous slaughter more dogs, most of the untrustworthy are businessmen. Huawei said this on the lips, but the body was very honest. After "testing" Huawei's smart SF5 with Xilix, a new generation of luxury mid-size SUV with higher Huawei participation is about to appear in front of our eyes. After one deeper and deeper participation, Huawei is bound to shout out in the end: I want both soul and body. Don't you believe it? Then wait for the moment of orgasm to come, I heard that Yu Dazui will not be able to help shouting next year.
The big factories are all magical, and the small factories that are dormant are also trying to move. Far away in Zhuhai, a corner of the security, Meizu, which is keen on "polishing" products, has also quietly polished out many automotive-related patents, and the in-vehicle system named After Flyme For Car is being "developed in an orderly manner". Like Huawei, Meizu is also trying to cut into the car industry from the "soul" of the car.
Do not doubt whether small factories have the ability to build cars. Even if mobile phone manufacturers of all sizes really want to build their own cars, there is no need to build their own factories like Xiaomi. Don't forget, behind all mobile phone manufacturers also stands a great foundry giant Foxconn. Gou has proved with three Model models that Foxconn can provide a one-stop full set of services from R&D design to manufacturing for all the big guys who are interested in entering the car manufacturing field, and ask the boss if you want to do it.
Well, having said all that, what else would be impossible about the OV car building thing?
In 2019, OPPO founder Chen Mingyong revealed at the OPPO Future Technology Conference that if automakers can't build cars, OPPO will try to build cars if they have the strength. In recent years, OPPO has invested in many upstream and downstream enterprises in the automotive industry chain, and has reached cooperation with many car companies such as Ideal, SAIC, Weilai, BYD, Changan, etc. Auto-related patents have also applied for many, and also registered the trademark of "Ocar". Although there is no talk about car building, it is already a fact to participate in car building as a supplier. Now, it's just a bad time to build a car yourself.
It is also worth noting that OPPO recently opened a change in the compensation mechanism, which is considered by the outside world to be OPPO's preparation for listing. OPPO listing, in addition to mobile phones, car building may be a story to tell.
Although vivo does not have so many actions of OPPO, it cannot be ignored that vivo's investment in self-developed chip manufacturing. Vivo's self-developed chip V1 is currently applied to its own brand mobile phones, which is one step faster than OPPO.
In the future, O's family will do the manufacture of automobile main body, V's family will do the manufacture of automobile chips, "backgammon" is blue and green two factories in the same gas, the left hand draws the dragon, the right hand rainbow, this move combination punch out, is not it fast? Therefore, OV car manufacturing is not news, OV does not build cars is news. (Text/UVIS Auto Old Cannon)
