I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 511: 327-328: A comprehensive review of Hillhouse vehicles! (4000 words)
What does it mean to have 200 million daily active users?
The only two platforms that could reach this level of daily active users (DAU) after Gao Huaijun's time were TikTok and Kuaishou.

Among them, Douyin can reach 3 million, while Kuaishou is around million.

Currently, Hillhouse obtains data from both domestic and foreign sources.

however.

This is a somewhat terrifying statistic, which not only squeezes the space for other followers, but also makes the label "Tik Tok in the South, Kuaishou in the North, and Douyu in the Center" that was once popular among the people become history.

With such a scale, Xiaoling APP's competitive advantage in the short video platform has been infinitely magnified. The regional and circle divisions of the original three platforms have been completely broken. With the overlapping and intertwining of user circles and regions, such a huge behemoth has emerged.

Being the leader is not a new thing, but what is truly eye-catching is that the speed of development and the strong vitality of Hillhouse's product are probably beyond the expectations of many people.

Even Gao Huaijun is no exception.

Although he has the idea and direction of letting Hillhouse's artificial intelligence empower Xiaoling APP.

However, he did not expect that the group of engineers at Hillhouse Artificial Intelligence, all of whom have PhDs in algorithms, are much more awesome than TikTok in later generations in the application of underlying algorithmic logic.

Hillhouse's big artificial intelligence model is managed by a large dedicated R&D team.

Recently, we have established an algorithm team of 200 people in Maozi, a place with a strong mathematical atmosphere.

Specializes in playing with large models!

This good guy.

Although Toutiao is very good in the vertical chain of reading, can it compare with Hillhouse?

This big model is much more advanced than current platforms like Tik Tok, Kuaishou, and even Douyu in terms of carefully constructing information cocoons and providing algorithmic recommendations for thousands of people.

In the past year, Xiaoling APP has grown from nothing to nearly 2 million daily active users, a growth rate that most platforms in the market today cannot achieve.

Now, the Xiaoling APP alone has almost helped Hillhouse Technology increase its market value by nearly double.

A powerful tool that can dominate public opinion. Even if this APP cannot make money now and loses tens of millions a year, most people see its great prospects.

Now many people in investment banks are trying to dissuade Hillhouse from carrying out a major restructuring of Hillhouse Technology, separating the Xiaoling APP and listing it together with Hillhouse Entertainment.

To form a substantial listed company in the Hillhouse Entertainment category!
Some people have promised that as long as the company can be listed on NASDAQ, Gao Huaijun can set any conditions.

These words made Gao Huaijun feel a little frightened.

However, he still pressed the pause button on the establishment of Hillhouse Entertainment.

However, even so, under such a good situation, Hillhouse Technology's sales have reached an astonishing 12 billion yuan within 2865 months!

Under the premise that the three-fold screen mobile phone has not yet fully exploded, compared with the 2016 billion in 1833, it has directly increased by 1000 billion.

This is a completely terrifying existence.

For Hillhouse Technology, this is equivalent to the sales volume of Hillhouse Technology, which had been slowly slowing down, increasing significantly due to overseas sales.

It rose rapidly again.

At the same time, Hillhouse Technology's profits are also increasing rapidly due to the hot sales of its overseas products.

Hillhouse Capital also achieved a record high of 2017 billion yuan in 632, which is still an increase of 2016 billion yuan compared to 439 billion yuan in 193.

This is equivalent to increasing the original profit by nearly 50% in one go.

As a result, Hillhouse Technology's net profit surged to 22%.

After deducting the loss of more than 632 billion yuan from Xiaoling APP in one year, it still made a profit of billion yuan.

Hillhouse Technology is simply Hillhouse’s money printing machine!
With this company, Hillhouse can basically enjoy the most favorable loan discounts when borrowing money from any bank.

At the same time, Hillhouse Capital is now issuing long-term debt in the Hong Kong stock market, and can basically obtain long-term high-quality bonds at around 4%.

Moreover, basically, once they are released, they are sold out in minutes.

And Hillhouse’s vehicle sector.

In 15, Hillhouse launched a high-end flagship heavyweight product, which Hillhouse looks up to.

The launch of this product instantly pushed Hillhouse Vehicle’s brand value to a new peak.

This car completely subverts the imagination of all competitors and friendly companies about Hillhouse's high-end products.

It also made all consumers realize Hillhouse's R&D capabilities again.

It turns out that Hillhouse Automotive, a new emerging automobile company in China, has such strong original research capabilities.

This also makes this product an engine for increasing traffic of other products.

However, after two years of development, the volume of this product has shrunk from the initial high to a stable level.

After all, there are only a few consumers for a car worth millions.

In addition, now is not 2023 before Gao Huaijun traveled through time. Most of the current high-end car consumer groups are still mainly those born in the 60s and 70s. The secondary main group born after the 80s has not yet fully formed.

Therefore, throughout 2016, Hillhouse Capital only sold 1.1 units of the Yangwang model.

On average, sales volume did not reach 1000 units per month.

But even so, the million-level price allowed Hillhouse Vehicle to achieve sales of 110 billion yuan.

This sales volume is higher than that of some mid- and low-end car manufacturers.

On the other hand, Gaolinghan, which upgraded the Yunnian-A defined as an "intelligent air body control system" to the Yunnian-C with an "upgraded version of air suspension", underwent another minor facelift in 2016.

Some of the standard parts that have been proven to be useful in other car models will be applied to the models that will be used in the modified car products one by one.

At the same time, relevant software and hardware configuration updates are also carried out.

This also greatly improves the performance of this old model.

Its sales volume also jumped directly from an annual sales volume of 140,000 units to 160,000 units.

Not to be outdone, the sales volume of one model of Gaoling Han also reached a staggering 344 billion yuan throughout the year.

At the same time, Gaolinghan's product has surpassed its competitors and ranked second in China's automobile sales rankings after Dazhong's Passat.

B-class cars are the favorites of major foreign automobile companies.

One can imagine how much loss Hillhouse suffered this time.

You know, Gao Huaijun has never paid much attention to this product.

It was only the Gaolinghan R&D team that came up with the concept of a B+ class car, which allows this car to have some of the comfortable space of a C class car, but its price is only the popular price of a B class car.

But it is this concept that makes this product a huge success in the market.

Who doesn’t like a big car?
This product is big and doesn’t require you to worry about wasting electricity. Everyone will love it!
Now this car can be said to have directly leveraged the market of BBA's low-end models and ordinary B-class cars such as Accord.

People who are in the market for a B-class car are basically looking for comfort and superior performance.

It would be best if it is fuel-efficient and face-saving.

He is the representative of the middle class who wants more and more.

It is such a group of picky people who like Gaolinghan so much, which also shows the product strength of this product.

The sales of Camry and Accord are now in collapse mode. In the past, the sales volume would easily reach over 2, and even reached 3 at the peak.

Now it has slowly dropped to around ten thousand!
What's even more despairing is that the price of their products has been reduced to around 12 yuan. But even so, they still don't sell well.

For example, the Accord's sales are basically in a state of collapse except in its base in Guangdong Province where there are many loyal fans who like to buy it, but in other provinces its sales are basically in a state of collapse.

It is about the same level as an A-class car.

The price dropped from 22 to 12, and they are still making a profit!

No wonder the common people in the 90s could eat and drink delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and felt that except for the island countries, everyone else was losers!

They also published a book called "The Golden Age: The Island Country Can Buy the Entire Beautiful Country!"

This book was also a popular bestseller that lasted for a long time at that time, and it can also be regarded as an urban refreshing novel with the characteristics of the times.

However, the emergence of China's modern automobile industry, represented by Hillhouse Automobile, can be said to have given the island country's automobile industry a big slap in the face!

The island nation’s last high-quality industry was completely destroyed.

As Hillhouse's low-end SUV, that is, the representative of small and medium-sized SUVs, Hillhouse Qin's sales have not decreased after Hillhouse Yuan was segmented out.

Small and medium-sized SUVs are one of Hillhouse’s major products.

Its sales price, which was in the range of 18 to 22 yuan, dropped to 15 to 18 yuan after a price war among various products.

However, over this period of time, sales prices have remained stable in this range without much change.

Although this price is somewhat of a stab to existing consumers, it is extremely friendly to new consumers.

This upgraded version of Hillhouse Qin has gone one step closer in 2017 compared to 2016.

In the whole year of 2017, the number of vehicles sold increased dramatically to 2016 compared to 26 in 29.

There is a gradual rise.

However, the volume of 30 also means that the monthly production of this SUV will change from units to units.

Hillhouse Qin’s annual sales also reached 464 billion yuan.

Gao Huaijun's strategy now is to speed up and increase the production capacity of these high-volume vehicles so that sales are comparable to those of imported vehicles, and not to think too much about profits.

Only in this way can Hillhouse's costs of various platform models be continuously reduced.

Now more and more big-name car companies are starting to engage in price wars.

But my product does not have the three major components of a car. The main core costs are batteries and various high-end chips.

You're trying to beat me in a game of overcapacity, can you beat me?

Now I will play with you.

I will clear the market the way you are best at!

Another smaller SUV, Hillhouse Yuan, has also begun to clear out the relevant market.

价格区间也是从2016年的12-14万，进一步进行压缩，直接下沉到了11-13万的价格区间。

The pricing of this car has already reached the price range of A-class cars.

Only Gao Huaijun has the courage to enter the SUV market with the price of an A-class car!
It’s crazy just to think about it!
As consumers went crazy, the sales of Hillhouse Yuan's product also went crazy.

In 16, the sales volume was 28 units and the sales revenue reached 364 billion yuan.

And the sales volume in 17 soared to 36 units. What a crazy number!

Sales volume also reached an astonishing 468 billion yuan, achieving a crazy growth of 300%.

Moreover, it was just as Gao Huaijun expected.

This product is very popular overseas.

Especially in Taiguo, the frenzy mode has been activated.

Basically, there are no cars available in that market.

Clear out every one you have.

Why is it so popular?

The core reason is the insufficient power supply in Taiguo.

This small SUV can act as a large power bank, providing stable energy storage and use for the family!

In other words, except for the air conditioner, other functions in the house can basically be used normally.

This is a valuable thing in a country where voltage is very unstable.

This also allowed the two models of Gaoling Qin and Gaoling Yuan to be merged together and ranked ahead of Tiguan in the 2017 SUV segment rankings in China, squeezing into the first place!

And this is a far leading position!
Now Hillhouse has achieved dominance in SUV products.

After discontinuing production of this product, Gaolingming has now undergone the latest research and development and will launch a new sports car - Zunjie - in 2019.

This is also what Hillhouse Vehicle’s own R&D team is doing.

Another heavyweight product, Hillhouse Song, was divided into two different product types: regular and extended in 2016.

It only received a minor facelift in 2017.

But even so, the sales of this product have increased dramatically.

In 2016, thanks to the support of Hillhouse Song PLUS, this car sold more than 45 units!

By 2017, the sales of this car reached another level, soaring to 48 units.

With sales of 40,000 units a month, it is worthy of the title of King of Cars.

The sales volume for the whole year reached an astonishing 528 billion!
This explosive sales volume is a cliff-like lead in the A-class car market.

Whether it is the Japanese aunts or the German gentlemen.

Now you can't see the taillights of Gaoling Song at all.

This can be called the king of Hillhouse's A-class cars!

Even the management of Hillhouse Vehicles found it hard to imagine that Hillhouse’s products could achieve sales of such a magnitude!
It can be said that the products of our competitors were completely defeated.

Hillhouse Song, without a doubt, won the sales champion of China's A-class cars!
Crush!

This is a true crushing of strength!
And Hillhouse’s A0 model is Hillhouse Dolphin.

This is Hillhouse’s first model to top the charts.

With the impact of Hillhouse Song PLUS, the price of the car has been further reduced and stabilized in the range of 7 to 9 yuan.

Gao Huaijun hesitated for a long time and still did not launch a smaller A0-class model.

One is that current battery technology is not yet mature and cannot be well implemented in smaller car models.

The second is products with lower total prices, which is actually a damage to Hillhouse’s product system.

You have everything from 100 million-level cars to small A0-level cars. Aren't you making things difficult for the owners of luxury cars?
