The counterattack of fuel vehicles? DJI smart driving access Tiguan L Pro

Recently, a number of car company heads and auto industry bosses have spoken out against the current auto market in different public occasions, and a number of popular opinions have triggered rounds of heated discussions. Whether it is about "rolling prices" or "rolling technology", although the topics discussed are different, there is one thing in common behind it, that is, "oil trucks" are no longer the center of everyone’s discussion, as if oil trucks have disappeared from the public’s attention.

However, just in the past May, the SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan LPro was officially launched under the label of "the smartest fuel car", bringing traditional fuel vehicles back into the market’s attention.

Autohome

In fact, if you look at it objectively, there have been two historical moments in the domestic passenger car market in the first half of the year when the market share of fuel vehicles was surpassed by new energy vehicles. Once, in the first half of April this year, the retail penetration rate of domestic new energy vehicles exceeded 50%; another time, in the third week of May this year, the insurance volume of domestic new energy passenger vehicles exceeded that of fuel vehicles, exceeding 50% for the first time, reaching 50.2%. The meaning of exceeding 50% is that fuel vehicles have become a non-mainstream choice in the automobile consumer market.

Compared with Huawei Hongmeng Zhixing (Q Jie, Zhijie), Wei Xiaoli, and BYD, they have been competing in the automotive market in recent years, whether in terms of volume or sales, the entire oil car market has become increasingly quiet.

Lu Xun once said, "If you don’t erupt in silence, you will perish in silence." Right now, traditional fuel vehicles have reached such a moment. And the arrival of Tiguan L Pro, can you heavy the ambition of fuel vehicles to fight back?

How do fuel vehicles break the circle?

Traditional fuel vehicles have come to this point not because they did something wrong. On the contrary, it was the fault of "doing nothing". In the wave of intelligence, traditional fuel vehicles have almost universally chosen to stay out of it. It seems that there is an insulating relationship with "intelligence". Data shows that no matter what price of fuel vehicles, the configuration rate of high-end intelligent driving is close to 0.

Autohome

Among them, on the one hand, there are "experts" who have come out to determine that the oil car cannot be intelligent. The reason is that the small battery of the fuel car cannot support the power demand of various sensors of the intelligent driving system; in addition, the mechanical structure of the fuel car also seriously hinders the response speed of the intelligent driving system, so the oil car is classified as an old product that is not suitable for intelligent.

On the other hand, behind the fuel vehicles are large-scale traditional car companies. The accumulated investment in technology, equipment, personnel, and capital in the field of fuel vehicles over the past century has made it not so easy for their elephants to turn around. This also gives the outside world an impression that traditional fuel vehicles have been photographed on the seabed by the current intelligent wave, and have disappeared from the attention of everyone for a long time.

But are oil trucks really not suitable for intelligence? The answer is no.

Some time ago, DJI Automotive proposed "the same wisdom of gasoline and electricity", hoping that technology can benefit "everyone" and achieve true "scientific and technological equality". From the perspective of DJI Automotive, it does not pick the type of power model, that is, whether it is a fuel car, a hybrid car, or a pure electric car, the intelligent driving system can effectively get on the car.

"The electronic architecture of the entire car is actually updated very quickly. For the current mainstream fuel vehicles, as long as it has the basic distributed A DAS, it has basic by-wire control." The person in charge of DJI Automotive once explained whether the fuel vehicle can be equipped with the intelligent driving system. "If a fuel vehicle has not planned the intelligent driving solution in advance, but the electronic architecture meets the needs, it can also be modified, which takes 9 to 18 months."

Autohome

Looking at the market, there are still huge users of fuel vehicles. To some extent, although the development iteration of fuel vehicles has slowed down, it has not stopped.

In fact, as early as 2018, Volkswagen and DJI Automotive were exploring how to put the latest high-end intelligent driving system on the car. The concepts of the two parties are very compatible: users still have demand for fuel vehicles, and for these users, they cannot be deprived of the opportunity to enjoy intelligent driving.

Leveraging DJI, Tiguan L Pro made a sample for the oil trucks

At the end of May, Tiguan L Pro stood up and gave samples to all the oil trucks. In short, the core of Tiguan L Pro’s solution is to leverage DJI and cooperate deeply with it to create an IQ. Pilot intelligent driver assistance system.

Autohome

Unlike the "LiDAR + high computing power" scheme used by most new energy vehicles, this system uses the inertial navigation binocular scheme. Although it is also classified as a pure vision scheme, unlike Tesla’s pure vision scheme, DJI’s intelligent driving system is based on the principle of parallax imaging, which allows Tiguan L Pro to sense the traffic environment and identify obstacles like human eyes, and then realize the L2 ++ driving auxiliary feature in the range of 0-130km/h.

Of course, as the "result" of joint cooperation, only the system of DJI is not enough. The new MQB EVO intelligent digital architecture behind Tiguan L Pro plays a key role. It is equivalent to providing the soil for the IQ. Pilot intelligent driver assistance system to survive and grow, which is also the key to making "oil and electricity common wisdom" a reality.

It is understood that the new MQB EVO intelligent digital architecture is also the most intelligent intelligence system of Volkswagen to date. The most core functions in the high-level intelligent driver assistance system, such as adaptive cruise, lane keeping, intelligent obstacle avoidance, intelligent parking, collision warning (automatic braking) and other Tiguan L Pro are available.

Autohome

In addition, compared with new energy models, the intelligent cockpit of Tiguan L Pro based on the new MQB EVO intelligent digital architecture is no less. First of all, in terms of basic configuration, it is equipped with Qualcomm 8155 car-grade chip (Qualcomm’s flagship chip of the 3rd generation Snapdragon cockpit platform), with 12 GB of memory + 128 GB of memory, and supports 5G communication. On this basis, things like AR navigation, intelligent voice interaction, intelligent joint control car, scene engine, and third-party app are also available.

Autohome

Regardless of hardware or software, although Tiguan L Pro is an oil car, it is almost the same as a new energy vehicle in terms of car experience. More importantly, the cost of this system of DJI is much lower than other solutions on the market.

According to the person in charge of DJI, since it does not include lidar, high-precision maps, etc., DJI’s system can be realized at only about 7000 yuan. This is compared with the lidar solution with a hardware cost of 2-30,000 on the market.

In fact, just two days ago, Yu Chengdong once again stressed in public that "Huawei Hongmeng Zhixing 300,000 the following cars, sell one at a loss". From this perspective, compared with the new energy vehicle companies with nine out of ten losses, from traditional oil vehicles to "smart oil vehicles", the cost advantage is also a window of opportunity for oil vehicles to counterattack.

The fuel truck counterattack is imminent

Based on the current development status of the car market, the most urgent thing for the oil trucks is when can they "take the first step"? After all, based on the current development speed of new energy vehicles in the car market, time waits for no one.

Although Tiguan L Pro took the lead in making a sample, this model alone is far from enough. At least, the momentum is far from comparable to the "has the voice over" in the market such as Wei Xiaoli and BYD, which are popular in the market. You know, today’s market consumption of the main crowd is different from five years ago, ten years ago. Actively embrace market demand and change, only earlier is not the earliest.

SAIC Volkswagen, Tiguan L 2024 PRO 330TSI two-wheel drive R-Line Zhizun Edition

"Tiguan L Pro"

Especially when the measured cruising range of plug-in hybrid models is already close to 2,000 kilometers, the market position of traditional fuel vehicles has become more subtle. For now, the only way to break the inherent thinking is to break through. Too many cases show that under the torrent of the development of the times, if you do not take the initiative to change to adapt to the times, the outcome is often only waiting to be eliminated by the times.

Of course, in addition to time, another key point in the turnaround opportunity of the oil car is the unblocking of the overall operation thinking of the car companies. This is also another layer of thinking brought by Tiguan L Pro.

At the Tiguan L Pro launch conference, in addition to releasing the price of the new car, SAIC Volkswagen also launched a repurchase interest. The launch of this interest means that in this oil car counterattack, Tiguan L Pro cleverly fought back against the "unintelligent oil car" and accurately attacked the life door of the tram "not preserving value". In the context of the continuous backstabbing of old car owners in the price of new energy vehicles, this will undoubtedly affect the decision-making of some consumers when purchasing vehicles, and put the oil car back on the car purchase list.

Autohome

But for the current oil vehicle market, what needs to be clarified is how many oil vehicles will follow in a short period of time after Tiguan L Pro? Or how many oil vehicles can be close to or enter the same competitive dimension as new energy vehicles in the field of intelligence?

It is understood that in addition to launching the smartest fuel car – Tiguan L Pro, SAIC Volkswagen is also working with Intel and other companies to create a smart travel ecosystem. In the opinion of Yu Jingmin, executive vice general manager of SAIC Volkswagen’s sales and marketing, "fuel" and "intelligence" are not mutually exclusive. In the field of intelligence, fuel cars can also make a big difference.

Although the growth rate of the new energy vehicle market is rapid, in terms of absolute sales and market user stock, the oil car is definitely the mainstream. Before the Tiguan L Pro, for those users who like intelligent products, there was no choice in the market except for new energy models. The arrival of the Tiguan L Pro at least allows the oil car to regain the opportunity to be selected.

The counterattack of traditional fuel vehicles has just begun.

Provincial Future Factory! Wencheng Wahaha is very "wow"!

Recently, the official of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology announced a "List of Future Factories in Zhejiang Province in 2023", identifying 213 factory/workshop projects in Zhejiang Province as provincial future factories, smart factories, and digital workshops in 2023. Among them, Wencheng Wahaha Hongzhen Food Technology Co., Ltd. was listed and successfully awarded the "Future Factory in Zhejiang Province in 2023".

Wencheng Wahaha Hongzhen Food Technology Co., Ltd. is the unit of Wencheng Wahaha Beverage Future Factory. This "factory in the mountains", which has attracted much attention since the start of construction two and a half years ago, has also been regarded as the latest thinking and exploration of Wahaha Group in the field of intelligent manufacturing.

"Factory of the Future" in the mountains

Drive rural revitalization and high-quality take-off

Wencheng Wahaha Beverage Future Factory is located in Bailuzhou Water Economy Industrial Park, Wencheng County, Wenzhou City. It is the fourth factory invested and built by Wahaha in 26 counties in mountainous areas of Zhejiang Province, and one of the 76 branch factories established by Wahaha in less developed areas across the country in the past 37 years. Wencheng Base covers an area of about 120 acres and mainly produces innovative beverage knock-out products such as Wahaha AD calcium milk, eight-treasure porridge, high-calcium multi-dimensional milk drinks, and coconut milk.

It took only 15 days from negotiation to signing, only 2 months from signing to land supply, only 11 working days from land supply to construction project planning license, and only 7 months from starting construction to commissioning and production of the first production line… To be officially certified as a "factory of the future", the construction of Wencheng Wahaha Beverage Future Factory is not only a vivid example of industrial co-prosperity in 26 counties in mountainous areas of Zhejiang, but also runs out of the "Wahaha speed" of intelligent manufacturing project construction.

At present, Wencheng Wahaha Beverage Future Factory has completed multiple rounds of recruitment, with nearly 200 employees, the vast majority of whom are locals in Wencheng County. Wencheng Wahaha Beverage Future Factory continues to "generate blood for the local area in terms of providing employment, purchasing raw materials, and driving logistics."

Cleaner and more efficient

Green production escort mountains blue water green

Looking down from the factory, patches of gray-black photovoltaic panels cover the factory roof like scales.

In response to the national 3060 double carbon policy, Wahaha actively promotes the installation of distributed photovoltaic power generation devices to gradually establish a multi-energy complementary, optimized combination of fossil energy and new energy, and then establish a low-carbon green power system with renewable energy as the main body. Wencheng Wahaha Beverage’s future factory has installed a total of 4.5MW of distributed photovoltaics, with a total power generation area equivalent to 14.69 standard football fields. The annual power generation and consumption are about 1.30 million degrees, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1020.5 tons.

Wencheng Wahaha Beverage’s future factory practices green production, reducing water consumption and wastewater discharge and improving water resource utilization through steam condensate recovery, RO concentrated water recovery, water-saving management at key water points, and odor biological purification treatment technology in the wastewater treatment process. Through the application of a series of green water-saving technologies, it can save more than 10,000 tons of water annually.

What’s more worth mentioning is that the future factory of Wencheng Wahaha Beverage has applied the flexible and intelligent low-emission CIP system independently developed by Wahaha for the first time. Each process pipeline in production can automatically call the corresponding cleaning program, cleaning parameters, and customized cleaning according to the different products and processes of production. To ensure that each pipeline has the shortest cleaning time, the best effect and the lowest energy consumption. Special recycling treatment and reuse technology is adopted for the acid and alkali used for cleaning. Some of the cleaning water is recycled after special process treatment, which greatly reduces water consumption and sewage discharge. After the implementation of the project, Wencheng factory will reduce the discharge of cleaning water and sewage by 52% every year, and reduce the consumption of acid and alkali by 30%.

Environmentally friendly has always been an inseparable goal of industrialization. Wencheng Wahaha Beverage Future Factory realizes intelligent energy management, improves energy utilization efficiency, and establishes a high-standard and highly integrated smart energy management system to promote industrial development while caring for greener mountains and greener water.

Smarter and more flexible

Full-link upgrade leads the era of Industry 4.0

Today’s Wencheng Future Factory is fully confirming Wahaha’s latest practice of intelligent manufacturing. Relying on the WERP platform, Wencheng Wahaha Beverage Future Factory can quickly realize the interconnection and interoperability of resources, information and data with the group, integrate the most advanced aseptic intelligent manufacturing equipment and modular production process in the application industry, "one-click intelligent control" ingredient center, intelligent visual inspection, 5G intelligent warehousing, intelligent logistics platform and other advanced technologies to achieve comprehensive improvement of efficiency, cost, quality and other indicators, leading the future factory construction of the food and beverage industry.

This also means that the future factory of Wencheng Wahaha Beverage has been completely different from the Industry 3.0 format, but through the Internet of Things to connect automation equipment with orders, materials, networks, and data, and perform full-link information processing and calculation. Ultimately, with the least waste, the easiest and most effective communication, reducing intermediate participation links, and realizing the efficiency and energy conservation of Industry 4.0 production.

Kunshan: "Four chains power" to promote foreign trade to a new high

In the first 11 months of 2023, the total value of foreign trade import and export in Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province was 687 billion yuan, an increase of 8.8% year-on-year, accounting for 14.4% of the total value of import and export in Jiangsu Province. Among them, exports 459.78 billion yuan, an increase of 7.5% year-on-year, accounting for 15% of Jiangsu Province; imports 2272.2 billion yuan, an increase of 11.4% year-on-year, accounting for 13.3% of Jiangsu Province.

Since the beginning of this year, Kunshan has changed from passive to active and pressure to power, and foreign trade has shown a trend of steady progress and improvement in quality. In October, Kunshan’s monthly import and export crossed three billion steps, reaching 13 billion US dollars for the first time, driving the province’s foreign trade growth of 5.7 percentage points, and both imports and exports broke the historical monthly record. The latest released data shows that Kunshan’s import and export trade exceeded 10 billion US dollars for three consecutive months in September, October and November, and the monthly import and export value broke the historical record in September and October. Especially with the steady recovery of consumer electronics market demand, Kunshan’s foreign trade is expected to continue to improve and make Kunshan contributions to Jiangsu’s stabilizing the basic foreign trade market. When exploring the reasons for Kunshan’s foreign trade data to rise against the trend, the "industrial chain, value chain, innovation chain, service chain" and "four-chain force" have become the key to promoting Kunshan’s foreign trade to stabilize and improve.

Advance planning, deeply empower the "industrial chain"

Industry is the foundation of foreign trade, and strong industry makes strong trade. As a strong industrial city, the advantage of the industrial chain has always been Kunshan’s greatest advantage. In the field of electronic information industry alone, Kunshan has attracted more than 2,000 upstream and downstream enterprises to settle in, creating an electronic information industry chain with a total output value of over 600 billion yuan.

Kunshan has continuously consolidated the foundation and advantages of the two hundred billion-level industrial clusters of electronic information and equipment manufacturing, and strives to hedge the uncertainty of the external environment with the certainty of its own development, and create more possibilities. In the first half of the year, foreign trade faced greater pressure. Kunshan paid close attention to the demand orientation and development trends of traditional foreign trade industries such as electronic information manufacturing, and launched a number of assistance measures to help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency.

At the same time, Kunshan also plays the strong magnetic force of leading enterprises. The development of leading enterprises is related to the stability of foreign trade, and also affects the development of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises. On the one hand, Kunshan vigorously implements the electronic information "consolidation" project and the equipment manufacturing "strong foundation" project, accelerates the deep integration of the digital economy and advanced manufacturing industry, actively plays the role of midstream enterprises linking the previous and the next, promotes the integration and innovation of the industrial chain and supply chain, and continuously enhances the global industrial chain. It has the voice over. On the other hand, Kunshan has also continued to release the "magnet" role of "chain owner" enterprises, extending investment tentacles, broadening investment channels, gathering a number of industrial chain and supply chain core enterprises such as SAIC, Tesla, BYD, Ningde Times, NIO, Dow Chemical, etc., and fully tapping the investment resources of upstream and downstream related enterprises. It is worth mentioning that Kunshan is also actively targeting new opportunities and new markets, promoting the transformation of traditional manufacturing to digital manufacturing, comprehensively optimizing the integrated layout of "core-cloud-network-end-chain", and promoting the intelligent transformation, digital upgrading, digital Product Research & Development, and intelligent equipment manufacturing of enterprises as a whole. "With hard belt and soft, soft and hard", we will accelerate the formation of a 100 billion-level universe industry innovation cluster.

Climb higher and break through, expand and extend the "value chain"

In the face of weak global consumer electronics demand, Kunshan encourages enterprises to optimize product structure, help enterprises to undertake high-end laptop orders, guide AUO Electronics to expand the import scale of high-end equipment and advanced technology, and guide enterprises to stabilize the global consumer electronics market share and continue to explore emerging markets.

Kunshan supports foreign trade enterprises to make good use of the two domestic and international markets and two resources, enhance the competitive advantage of technology, standards, brands, quality and service as the core, and achieve both domestic and foreign sales. Take the baby carriage king "Good Boy" as an example, the sales share of its "Evenflo" and "Cybex" brand child safety seats in North America and Europe are the first congeneric products, and the dominant position is gradually consolidating. "From January to October this year, our orders in the North American market increased by 12.4% year-on-year. We plan to continue to develop the North American and European markets next year." Wang Yong, general manager of the supply chain center of Good Boy Children’s Products Co., Ltd., said.

In addition, Kunshan also insists on leading development with major projects and competing for high-end resource elements globally. Vigorously carry out overseas investment promotion "Hundred Troupes War", from January to October, organized 32 investment promotion groups to Europe, Japan and South Korea and other countries and regions to carry out investment negotiations, successfully held 17 overseas investment promotion activities, visited more than 200 enterprises and institutions, and harvested more than 80 potential projects. Successfully held the 2023 Kunshan (Shenzhen) Investment Promotion Conference, signed 38 major projects with a total investment of 30.52 billion yuan. Vigorously attract a number of headquarters-type, leading-type, tax-source high-energy trading entities and "new quality productivity" projects, accelerate the signing and settlement of a number of key projects such as Coca-Cola, Dazheng Coffee, and Baoshi De, and through the "signing rate, completion rate, start-up rate, production rate, and production rate".

Regarding how to help new energy companies accelerate their "going overseas", Shi Yuhao, a customs officer from Kunshan Customs Inspection Division 1, shared his experience of helping: "We have established a’point-to-point ‘contact mechanism for key enterprises in our jurisdiction, and continue to provide technical services such as trade policy consultation, customs clearance and release of actual goods, to help enterprises seize opportunities to go overseas.

Take the initiative and accurately drive the "innovation chain"

Relying on the efficient vertically integrated industrial system and smooth bonded logistics channels of the Kunshan Comprehensive Bonded Zone, we will build an electronic product distribution center and expand the import of core components of the electronic information industry; continue to deepen the "bonded +" advantage, encourage enterprises to carry out bonded research and development business, guide processing trade enterprises to expand bonded inspection, bonded maintenance and other business models, and continuously enhance the resilience of the supply chain supply chain; link the "bonded area + professional market" function to build a digital commodity trading platform that integrates trading, settlement, clearing, finance, logistics and other functions.

Coffee Roasting Workshop (Photo courtesy of Kunshan Rongmedia Center)

Kunshan is also actively deploying hundreds of billions of coffee industry clusters, giving full play to the first-mover advantage of the import trade promotion innovation demonstration zone, promoting the development of the coffee industry towards clustering, diversification and high value-added fields, and actively creating new growth points for import trade. Kunshan has formed a chain around "one green bean" to "one cup of coffee", attracting more than 30 leading coffee companies such as Starbucks, Luckin, Yizheng, Zhongyuan of Vietnam, Louis Dreyfus of France, and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. of Japan to enter the chain. It has built an industrial ecosystem that integrates green bean trade, platform trading, R & D and roasting, brand sales, and coffee equipment, forming two major coffee industry characteristics: "whole industrial chain" and "internationalization". The city card of "China Coffee Silicon Valley" is about to emerge.

Based on the actual development and demand of the coffee industry, Kunshan uses "system + technology" two-wheel drive to tailor-made "three inspections and three releases" supervision mode for imported coffee inspection and quarantine. 90% of imported coffee goods have been "reported and inspected", and customs clearance efficiency has been significantly improved. In the first 11 months of this year, Kunshan achieved 31,200 tons of coffee beans imported, an increase of 213.6% year-on-year.

Kunshan is also grasping the strategic opportunity of the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta region, giving full play to Kunshan’s geographical advantages, and building a "big channel" and "big platform" for opening up to the outside world in an all-round way. Optimize the connection between the Yangtze River Delta region and the ASEAN cargo trade platform, encourage bonded logistics enterprises to tap the trade potential under the premise of compliance with trade, and improve the efficiency of distribution and distribution. In the past six months, new imports and exports exceeded 9 billion yuan. Innovate to create a modern logistics center for the Yangtze River Delta International Airport, build a one-stop service platform for international air freight import and export, and use the innovative mode of direct access to the freight station to reduce the short-haul and multi-warehouse pickup links of trailers, achieve capacity integration, efficiency improvement, low-carbon emission reduction, seamlessly connect 111 airlines around the world, reach 1036 destinations around the world, smooth import and export freight channels, import and export speeds up by more than 10 hours and 5 hours respectively, cost reduction by more than 10%, and open up a new channel for air transportation of foreign trade enterprises.

Internally and externally, continuously optimize the "service chain"

"Kunshan service" is an important magic weapon for competing for orders, grasping projects and seeking development. Kunshan released the "Kunshan City Deepening" Kunruyi "Business Environment 2023 Innovation Action Plan" this year, and launched the "Investment and Business Protection Service Month" in advance; innovatively built a new government-enterprise communication platform "Kunruyi Enterprise Meeting Room", strengthened in-depth exchanges with enterprises, and stabilized development confidence; fully implemented the "28" new policies to promote the continuous recovery of the province’s economy, and introduced Kunshan City’s 45 policies and measures to promote the overall improvement of economic operation, 7 to stabilize foreign trade, and 12 to promote cross-border trade facilitation, and make greater efforts to promote the stability and improvement of the open economy; continue to build a development environment with "the lowest cost under the same conditions, the best service at the same cost, and the most market opportunities for the same service", and create the most attractive and competitive first choice for investment and entrepreneurship.

Taking supporting the development of the coffee industry as an example, Kunshan is neither a coffee origin nor a major consumer market. How can the coffee industry take root? In order to help Kunshan’s coffee industry connect with the world, Kunshan Customs implements a "customized" factor guarantee model. In response to the development needs of the coffee industry, a special class of coffee trade services has been established, and business experts have been selected to connect with coffee production enterprises, coordinate and solve the problems of enterprises in registration and filing, inspection and quarantine, and actual release. We provide "commissioner-style" services for the whole process of customs clearance. In this regard, Miao Shijun, head of Kunshan Real Gold Food Co., Ltd., said, "Under the guidance of Kunshan Customs, we quickly completed the filing of export food production enterprises, strengthened the quality control and safety management of key links in coffee roasting and processing, and effectively connected with the relevant laws and regulations of the target country. Further enhance the competitiveness of products in the international market. After the export road is completed, we will also rely on the advantages of Kunshan coffee’s entire industry chain to deepen cooperation with coffee leaders, so that Chinese coffee can enter the overseas market."

It is based on the continuous creation of a world-class environment that in the first three quarters of this year, 213 new foreign-funded projects were established in Kunshan, an increase of 6% year-on-year, and the actual use of foreign capital was 1.54 billion US dollars, an increase of 39.5% year-on-year. For Kunshan and enterprises, this is a fruitful result of two-way progress and mutual achievement.

Kunshan is a big foreign trade city and needs to have greater responsibility and action. Kunshan will take more hard-hitting and practical measures to fight for "order + market", focus on breaking through "project + business", continue to improve "service + policy", and firmly stabilize the basic foreign trade market.

Ele.me "Open a branch"

Article | "China Entrepreneur" reporter Wang Xueqi

Editing | Ma Yue

"It used to be a cooperation between relatives, now it is a cooperation with brothers and sisters." Zhong Xianwen, vice president of Ele.me, made such an analogy about the relationship between Ele.me and other departments of Alibaba. In April this year, Alibaba announced a full acquisition of Ele.me at a valuation of $9.50 billion. Previously, Alibaba and Ant Financial already owned 43% of Ele.me. Zhong Xianwen is a veteran of Ele.me and is currently responsible for traffic and user operations related to the Ele.me APP.

Before the acquisition, Ele.me had already begun to cooperate with various applications under Ali, and had cooperated with Taobao Ticket, and the Alipay interface had also been established. In Zhong Xianwen’s opinion, the relative cooperation was still based on the business model of rights replacement. After becoming a family, the efficiency of cooperation and communication improved a lot.

In the past five months, Ele.me has undergone changes, some of which are visible and some of which are hidden behind the scenes.

After Ele.me acquired Baidu takeaway in August last year, the takeaway market officially formed a situation where Ele.me and Meituan were divided. But Ele.me’s market share was not satisfactory. According to the "China Mobile Internet Industry Analysis and Development Report for the First Half of 2018" released by Trustdata big data, Meituan, Ele.me, and Baidu takeaway accounted for 59%, 36%, and 3% of the transaction volume in the takeaway market, respectively. Lack of traffic is considered to be the main reason why Ele.me is at a disadvantage.

This summer, Ele.me CEO Wang Lei told Reuters that he would invest 3 billion yuan between July and September, aiming to increase the market share to more than 50%. At the same time, Ele.me has also become an important player in the two major projects of World Cup marketing and 88VIP, which have linked multiple departments of Ali.

In August, Ali disclosed the establishment of a holding company in the second quarter of 2018. The company has two major businesses, Ele.me and Koubei, and will serve as the flagship of local life services in the future. It has received investment commitments of more than $3 billion from investors such as Alibaba and SoftBank Group.

Inside Ele.me, the model of "small front desk, big middle desk" has been promoted, and Ali-style transformation has been carried out from the organizational structure level. Ele.me is establishing a two-way empower relationship with Ali. On the one hand, Ali’s new retail stores are actively connected to the Hummingbird distribution system to improve their own capacity level. On the other hand, Ele.me connects to Ali’s handao and other super applications to obtain traffic empower.

All the changes are sending a signal that Ele.me is actively looking for various poses to integrate with Ali.

Since its establishment in 2008, Ele.me has spent its first decade fighting alone and exploring the market, with a cliff behind it and only a path forward. At the beginning of the second decade, this unicorn that grew up in the jungle of extensive growth has to learn how to integrate into a giant with its own system and complete methodology. This may be a story from the jungle to the city.

"It’s more tiring than starting a business," Xiong Bin, vice president of new retail at Ele.me, describes his current job status.

Xiong Bin is an Ali veteran. After joining Alibaba in 2002, he went through B2B, Taobao, Taodiandian and other departments. He left Alibaba in 2015 and chose to start a business in the local life service field. Ali’s acquisition of Ele.me made him decide to sell his company and return to Ele.me with his team for a second venture.

In Xiong Bin’s eyes, in the past few years, the local life service market was still in a state of savage growth, and everyone was actively expanding. "Everyone is competing with who has the fastest financing, who has the most savage war, and can quickly complete urban expansion."

In 2014 and 2015, large and small giants have successively flooded into the O2O takeaway market. For a period of time, there were as many as a dozen takeaway platforms, competing to subsidize and burn money to compete for users. The takeaway market has encountered frequent problems in the process of brutal growth. Many platforms have removed unqualified merchants due to the lack of relevant catering qualifications.

With the acquisition of Baidu takeout by Ele.me and the merger of Meituan and Dianping, the once-blank market has been divided up by several giants and has begun to enter the era of intensive cultivation. "In the past, we emphasized how many resources to give in the local living market, how many cities to open, and how many businesses to expand. Now the focus is on using an overall plan to connect all levels of logistics, marketing, and membership to improve the user experience," Xiong Bin said.

In the era of intensive farming, user experience is placed in an increasingly important position. Compared with other sectors of Ali’s new retail, Ele.me’s hummingbird distribution system is a very important supplement to the offline scene. According to a city manager in East China of Ele.me, after the completion of the acquisition, Ele.me has invested more and more energy in the logistics side, and the company has repeatedly emphasized the need to form a closed loop between Ali’s new retail stores and Ele.me logistics.

Delivery speed has a significant impact on the experience of e-commerce users. From the first seven days of arrival to the 211 time limit proposed by JD.com, the upgrade of delivery speed is also accompanied by the improvement of user experience. However, the transformation of logistics capacity is time-consuming and labor-intensive, not a day’s work. Zhong Xianwen said that the standard of Hummingbird delivery is 30 minutes. If the merchant of Tmall and Taobao completes the connection in the future, it will bring important empowerment to the latter.

After the acquisition was completed, Hummingbird Distribution quickly connected with other business departments, connected to RT-Mart Supermarket’s order delivery in June, and cooperated with Retail and Ali Health in July to provide 24-hour local timely delivery services.

In the proposition of improving user experience, Meituan, the biggest competitor of Ele.me, is also not slack. In February this year, Meituan cooperated with Heilan Home to use a 1-hour timely delivery service. In July, it launched a flash sale business, striving to achieve 30-minute door-to-door delivery in categories such as supermarket fruits and vegetables.

But Xiong Bin disagrees, saying that the exploration in the field of clothing should not start from sales, but first establish scenarios such as mobile fitting that can really improve the user experience, "rather than doing gimmicks". In the face of the flash sale attack, Ali’s new retail business is also combining with the local life service business of Ele.me. "We like to see that the opponent has these business layouts, and after they do it, many merchants are also queuing up to cooperate with us."

Regarding the competition between Ele.me and Meituan, Zhang Yong once joked when acquiring Ele.me: Meituan is playing the second floor on Ele.me, and with Ali’s blessing, Ele.me is playing the second floor on Meituan.

However, Ele.me has Ali, Meituan also stands behind Tencent, 6th floor and 2nd floor, which may not be accurate. Xiong Bin bluntly said that he will keep an eye on the connection and empowerment between Tencent and Meituan, but the relationship between Ali and Ele.me can be said to be in harmony. In terms of closeness, Meituan is far inferior to Tencent, and Ali’s accumulation in the new retail field is also more profound. Xiong Bin said that he has set a very high KPI for himself, and smooth integration is the guarantee for the completion of this KPI.

The number of floors may be controversial, but Ele.me does stand taller than it did before it was acquired.

"In the past, when we fought with Meituan, Ele.me suffered the most because the other party fought in groups, and we fought alone, and one person could not beat ten people." Zhong Xianwen said so. As the person in charge of user operations, his anxiety was relieved by the arrival of helpers. Survival anxiety was relieved, and he thought more long-term about the business, focusing more on the nature of business.

From the cliff behind him to Ali behind him, Ele.me began to face new questions about how to better integrate into Ali.

Ele.me needs traffic, Ali has traffic, Alipay, Taobao, Youku, each of which is a large traffic user. The problem lies in the transmission of traffic.

In the past year, Zhong Xianwen has completed two major projects, connecting Ele.me to Alipay and Taobao. In the summer of 2017, Ele.me began to connect with Alipay, and in mid-October it was officially connected to Alipay. The "takeaway" icon on the Alipay page has also changed to "Ele.me takeaway".

Only with the interface, traffic did not flow in, because the user’s mind had not changed. For users, Alipay is a payment tool and a financial tool, and it is difficult to immediately form the habit of ordering takeout here. In order to change users’ usage habits, Zhong Xianwen and the team tried many methods, "to constantly adjust the posture and find the best entry point". After the team found that the "hard access" with only the interface and no operation was obviously not working, they began to consider the "soft access" method of leveraging users with marketing activities.

In early December, Ele.me and Alipay launched the "Alipay Takeaway Festival" activity, mobilizing millions of merchants to launch discount activities. In order to leverage the resources of merchants and Alipay, the operation team used the narrative of "opening a branch". Ele.me opened a branch in Alipay, and the opening promotion of the new store was reasonable. After the takeaway festival, the order volume generated by Ele.me on the Alipay interface increased by 300% compared with a month and a half ago.

In August this year, Ele.me officially connected to the mobile phone Taobao. Zhong Xianwen said that the consumption habits of handmade Amoy users are non-instant consumption, which is completely different from the takeaway consumption model. The operation team has tried a variety of access solutions, and there will be activities launched during Double Eleven, but it is not convenient to disclose for the time being.

Externally, it is necessary to change the user’s mindset, and internally, it is also necessary to adjust the operation concept according to the characteristics of the cooperation department.

"Alipay is a service, handshopping is a seller, and the business form is different, and the integration mode is also different." Zhong Xianwen further explained that Alipay regards Ele.me as a super large merchant, and the interface is also listed under the label of "third-party service". But Taobao, which is dominated by e-commerce genes, sees the merchants behind Ele.me, and wants to directly introduce merchants into the Taobao system.

Zhong Xianwen pointed out that finding the best entry point with Taobao needs to give Ele.me a stronger "goods" attribute. "For example, we can make a group buying coupon for a certain hamburger from KFC and sell it on Taobao, and the hamburger will become goods. This kind of thinking is not easy to understand when placed on Alipay."

In addition to the system that is more biased towards the underlying construction, there is another more direct way to empower traffic, the membership system.

On August 8 this year, Alibaba launched 88VIP membership. Super members with a naughty value higher than 1000 can spend 88 yuan in annual membership fees and receive membership benefits in multiple business categories under Alibaba, such as Ele.me Super Member and Youku VIP Member.

For Ele.me, the opening up of the membership system means that it can provide users with more accurate products and services.

Since Alibaba acquired Ele.me, almost everyone interviewed has mentioned the high degree of convergence in corporate culture between Ele.me and Alibaba.

"Ele.me is particularly hard-working and aggressive, like a young version of Ali. The average age of the employees is only 27 years old. When we joined Alibaba, the average age was about the same." Xiong Bin said that after coming to Ele.me, the pace of work is faster than when he started his own business. Sometimes after a meeting with the team at 6 or 7 pm, he received a plan early the next morning.

Under the premise of cultural convergence, Ali’s first task in transforming Ele.me was to transform the guerrillas into a regular army.

Xiong Bin implemented the organizational structure of Ali’s "large, medium and small front desk" in the Ele.me new retail department, and horizontally connected functional sectors such as data analytics to form a model of large, medium and small front desk. The front desk goes to the front line as an independent unit to fight, and the middle desk provides a complete system. "Ele.me used to talk about rapid innovation, and this process requires the establishment of a relatively independent organization, but it may affect the efficiency. Now integrate all these independent organizations, and it can adapt to the entire process of ecological integration."

Alibaba has also introduced new methodologies, such as a cross-team project management approach based on the three elements of "goals, strategy, and resources". This methodology is designed to enable employees to develop a consistent and comprehensive way of thinking when facing specific projects.

When asked whether these changes will affect Ele.me’s innovation ability, Xiong Bin responded that since the transformation, the innovation efficiency is at least not slow, and the response to market changes is not lagging behind. After the technology department is connected, some products do not need to be developed repeatedly, but the efficiency of the bottom layer has been improved.

In all kinds of internal and external changes, personnel stability is particularly important. When the acquisition was just completed, the chief human resources officer from Ali was worried that there would be a large-scale departure. But the situation was the opposite. Not many Ele.me employees chose to leave, but many Ali employees wanted to come. They felt that this was a brand new business with a lot of room for development. "Instead, we have to have some control over this matter. Most of the Ali employees who come here are responsible for communication and bridging between the two sides."
