The stock price plummeted by 30%, and the sales of BYD Wang Chaohan EV and Tang DM-i were weak and the price was reduced.

In the process of the rise of new energy vehicles in recent years, BYD is undoubtedly the most eye-catching force. Byd has gained a huge market advantage by relying on the strategy of parallel battery and vehicle.

Recently, however, BYD’s products have been reduced in price. After all the models of BYD Ocean Network have been reduced in price, BYD Dynasty Network has also announced preferential policies for its popular models. So which models have BYD officially reduced in price? Is it necessary for BYD, which is not worried about sales, to make such a profit?

1. The deposit of Han EV and Tang DM-i is 2,000 to 10,000, and the replacement subsidy can be exempted by 4,000.

On November 8, BYD Wang Chaowang released a message that users only need to purchase its Tang DM-i Champion Edition (112 km model) and Han EV Champion Edition before 24: 00 on November 30, 2023, and complete the car purchase invoice. You can enjoy the activity of 2,000 yuan deposit to 10,000 yuan car purchase.

In this way, these two champion models have been given a discount of 8000 yuan. And the government also provided a replacement subsidy of 4000 yuan. In addition, the government also provided financial policies such as five-year super-long loans with a down payment of 15%, as well as various intelligent services and maintenance services.

Although it seems that the price reduction of BYD dynasty series is not too great, it should be noted that BYD dynasty series has never been a slow-moving model. It is rare to get close to 10,000 yuan.

And BYD’s discount also has some doorways. Tang DM-i and Han EV are high-end products of Dynasty series, and they are also well-known products. Giving them some preferential policies can undoubtedly attract more consumers to the store, and may also promote the sales of other models.

On the other hand, BYD’s two models are indeed facing certain sales pressure in the near future.

2. New forces compete for the market, and BYD is on pins and needles.

After more than ten years of development, China’s new energy vehicle market has entered the second half. The blue ocean, which once had few competitors, has turned scarlet in the cruel killing.

Although BYD has been in deus ex, it has taken the top spot among new energy vehicle companies. But the pressure it faces is not small. In addition to the siege of old car companies such as Geely, Great Wall and Chang ‘an, the advantages of software and hardware established by new forces such as "Wei Xiaoli" are gradually showing strong market appeal.

More importantly, a group of Internet forces represented by Huawei, Baidu, Xiaomi, etc. took part in building cars. Under their "empowerment", the car level of many car companies has improved linearly. New energy vehicles that flaunt the function of intelligent driving, such as Wenjie, Zhijie, Jiyue and Aouita, have attracted many consumers’ attention.

Although BYD has its own mature industrial chain, such as batteries and complete vehicles, and the method of reducing costs and increasing efficiency learned from Toyota, BYD can establish a huge advantage in car companies with lower cost and higher production capacity. However, in the face of all kinds of fancy intelligent configuration of new forces, BYD, whose style is relatively "simple", will inevitably be seized in some markets.

However, the pre-sale of the medium and large-sized car Zhijie S7, which Huawei cooperates with Chery, is about to start on November 17th. BYD Han EV, which is also pure electric for medium and large-sized cars, is bound to encounter sales challenges. At the end of last month, Geely and Baidu’s Extreme Yue 01 went on the market. This medium and large SUV, known as the "car robot", will obviously affect the sales of BYD’s products.

What’s more, before Sellers’ M7 went public, it would have exceeded 80,000 a month. BYD Tang DM-i, which is also a seven-seat hybrid SUV, slightly overlaps with the low-priced version of Wenjie M7 in price, so Wenjie M7 is likely to have a certain "blood-sucking" effect on BYD Tang DM-I..

Moreover, BYD Han EV and Tang DM-i are really tired in sales. Since July this year, BYD Han EV has never sold more than 10,000. After the sales volume of Tang DM-i exceeded 10,000 for seven consecutive months this year, the sales volume in August and September continuously returned to below the 10,000 mark. It was not until October that it barely broke through 10,000.

Therefore, BYD’s price reduction this time is an active response to these challenges. In addition, the price reduction of BYD’s main models has the significance of boosting investors’ confidence and completing future planning goals.

3. When the stock is sold by the old stock god, BYD’s share price will return to 300.

Judging from this year’s sales, many people may think that BYD’s top management has no need for anxiety. As of October this year, BYD has sold 3 million cars this year.

But Wang Chuanfu, president of BYD, set a sales target of 4 million vehicles at the beginning of the year. Now there are only three months left, one million short of the target. This requires BYD Group to achieve an average monthly sales of more than 330,000 vehicles in the next three months.

It is difficult to achieve increment in the increasingly fierce new energy market. First of all, BYD’s own dynasty series and ocean series have been difficult to achieve more sales increments without reducing prices.

The high-end route planned by BYD now seems to have many obstacles. Although Tengshi stood firm by the explosive MPV Tengshi D9, the market response of Tengshi N7, N8 and other products launched later was flat.

The ultra-high-end brand that BYD Group strives to build looks forward to the first production car U8, which targets luxury SUVs and off-road vehicles such as Mercedes-Benz G and Land Rover Range Rover, but the annual sales of these high-end products are only a few thousand to early 10,000. Looking up to U8, even if it can compete with it in sales volume, it can’t contribute too much to BYD’s sales target of 4 million.

Therefore, BYD can only choose to reduce the price of the main models in exchange for sales. This seemingly irrational price-for-sales approach actually reflects BYD’s high-level eagerness to boost market confidence. Since last year, a number of financial capitals have been selling BYD’s shares. Take Warren Buffett as an example. Since August 2022, Buffett has sold BYD Hong Kong stocks for 13 consecutive times.

Buffett bought BYD at the price of only 8 yuan, and now BYD’s share price around 250 yuan is at an absolute high level. For investors, when the stock reaches a high level, cashing out is the normal operation. Now, when Buffett sold BYD last year, the share price around 300 yuan really seemed to be a high stage.

If BYD’s top management wants to keep its share price at a high level, it must convince investors with actual performance and technological progress. The sales target of 4 million is more like BYD’s share price, which will continue to attract other investors and nail them here.

Write it at the end

Now, after the crazy selling, Warren Buffett has reduced his holdings of BYD’s Hong Kong stocks by more than half. As an investment vane, he is bound to affect many investors’ decisions on BYD.

If BYD can achieve the sales target of 4 million, it will undoubtedly play an important role in boosting investor confidence. In order to achieve this sales target, BYD’s continuous efforts may make the killing of the new energy vehicle market in the second half of the year even more tragic.

  Founded in 1981, the Golden Rooster Award for Chinese Film is a national award-winning activity approved by Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China and sponsored by China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and China Film Association. Over the past 40 years, the Golden Rooster Award for Chinese films has always been based on the principle of "academic, contending and democratic", rewarding outstanding films and commending outstanding film artists, which has made positive contributions to the prosperity and development of China’s film art creation, promoting film theory and criticism, improving the overall level of China’s film art and technology, and enhancing the international status of China’s films. The Golden Rooster Award is also known as the "Expert Award" for China films because of its professional and academic criteria, authoritative composition of the jury and democratic rigor of the selection process.

  Since the Golden Rooster Award was settled in Xiamen in 2019, the China Film Association and the Xiamen Municipal Government have been actively involved in the planning and preparation of the Golden Rooster Award activities based on the principle of pragmatic innovation, striving to present a Golden Rooster Award that fully demonstrates the characteristics of the times, movies and local features for the majority of filmmakers and movie audiences. China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival in 2021 was co-sponsored by China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, China Film Association and Xiamen Municipal People’s Government. It was held in Xiamen from December 28 to 30, 2021 for three days.

  From December 29th to 30th, the jury of the 34th China Golden Rooster Awards made a collective observation and final evaluation on the candidate films of this year’s Golden Rooster Awards, and judged the best awards of this year’s Golden Rooster Awards, which will be announced on the spot at the award ceremony.

Among them, the best foreign language film award was newly added this year.

  This year’s feature film unit primary selection group, composed of 25 experts, scholars and first-line creators in the film field, and the foreign language film primary selection group, composed of 6 experts, spent one month observing the 185 feature films and foreign language films that entered the competition, and after careful deliberation and discussion, 41 short-listed films were finally produced and submitted to this selection committee, including 16 feature films, 12 medium and small budget feature films, 6 children’s films and 7 foreign language films.

  During the film festival, the related film festival activities undoubtedly attracted the most attention and concern of the audience and fans. This year’s domestic film festival mainly focuses on the "New Films" section, presenting China’s new achievements in film creation with masterpieces. At that time, several films including "Tales of Yong ‘an Town" will be shown to promote outstanding works to more audiences. The Golden Rooster International Film Festival is the earliest international film cultural exchange platform in China, which has been held for 30 consecutive times since the first Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival in 1992. This year’s International Film Festival will show 38 films from 35 countries and regions, including new works by newcomers from countries along the "Belt and Road", world-renowned master classics, and word-of-mouth masterpieces focusing on all aspects of the epidemic.

  What is particularly worth mentioning is that this year’s Hong Kong Classic Film Exhibition will focus on the theme of "The Story of Hong Kong City", showing 11 Hong Kong classic films. Among them, the classic film In the Mood for Love directed by Wong Kar-wai will meet the audience in mainland China for the first time with a 4K restored IMAX version, which is also the world debut of IMAX version.

Turkey officially changed its English name and stopped being a "turkey"

On May 31st, local time, Turkish Foreign Minister cavusoglu posted on his social media platform that he submitted a letter to the UN Secretary-General that day, requesting to change the name of Turkey’s foreign language country to "Türkiye". Cavusoglu said on the social platform: "Under the leadership of President Erdogan, the process initiated by Turkey to improve the national brand value has already yielded results. I submitted a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations today to register the foreign name of our country as’ Tü rkiye’ at the United Nations. "

According to a report by Anadolu News Agency of Turkey on June 1st, at the request of Turkey, the United Nations changed the name of Turkey’s foreign language from "Turkey" to "Türkiye". Earlier, some media believed that the demand for name change in Turkey might not be smooth sailing, because it was not in the Latin alphabet, which would make it difficult for relevant international institutions to change their registered names.
The name change in Turkey has been going on for half a year. As early as December 4 last year, Turkish President Erdogan issued a presidential decree to change his name. Erdogan believes that the new name "Türkiye" can "best represent the culture, civilization and values of the Turkish nation".
In December 2021, Turkey began to use "Türkiye" as its foreign language country name in domestic and international occasions.
In Turkish, Turkey’s name is "Türkiye". In English, the name of Turkey is "Turkey". The word "turkey" has the meaning of "turkey" in English, and is even defined as "a serious failure" or "a stupid person" in Cambridge dictionary. This is also the reason why Turkey launched the name-correcting action.
"British Weekly" believes that this is a rebranding of Turkey, and the Turkish government will give up the English name that has been used for 100 years. This move is also intended to "ease the diplomatic pattern dominated by English." In January this year, Turkey began to ask for a name change. The Turkish government began to negotiate with the United Nations, hoping to replace "Turkey" with "Türkiye" in all international formal occasions.
The Turkish government also requires the use of "Türkiye" in various activities and communications, including formal relations with other countries, international institutions and organizations.

1. Baseball is a very interesting sport, which significantly improves physical fitness, IQ and EQ.

Hello, everyone, I am a vast ocean science, and welcome netizens to watch today’s headlines. < Baseball is a very interesting sport, which significantly improves physical fitness, IQ, EQ and cooperation spirit > Netizens, knowledge is a vast ocean. People are like a small fish in the ocean, and it is impossible to swim to every corner of the vast ocean. There are still many mysterious and unknown things around us waiting for us to examine, think and explore, so that we can realize that the world is so wonderful and knowledgeable. Without further ado, let’s start studying together!

Hey! Children, let’s learn how to play baseball together!

Baseball is a tense and interesting sport. It originated in the United States, and now it has spread in more than 60 countries on five continents. At the end of 19th century, this kind of movement was introduced to China by the United States and Japan.

Although baseball is small, it is changeable and wonderful to play, and unexpected things often happen. Whether you participate in the competition or watch it, it will be fascinating.

At present, baseball is not very popular in our country, and children must be very strange to this sport, but please don’t worry, I will tell you something about baseball now.

The baseball field is a right-angled fan, which is divided into infield and outfield. The infield is square, and there are three corners with bases, which are called first base, second base and third base. The last corner is the top of the court called home plate. There is no bag at home plate, only a pentagonal board is placed, which is called home plate.

Home plate is the starting point and the end point of the offensive players. The attacking team members hit the pitcher’s ball at home plate in turn, and then ran to the next base. When the next player plays ball, he can also take the opportunity to run to the next base. If an offensive player can run the first, second and third bases at one time and finally return to home plate, he will get 1 point.

The defender should wear gloves for catching the ball with one hand and try to catch the ball that the batter can hit. If he can catch the ball, the batter will be robbed and killed. If you can’t catch the ball, you should pick it up quickly, and then immediately pass it to the place where you need it, so that your partner can pass and kill the attacker who hasn’t had time to Jin Lei. If a total of three players on the attacking side are killed out, then the two sides will exchange offensive and defensive positions. The two teams attack and defend once each, making it a game. Adults have to play nine games, and children can play five games. In the end, which team scores more points will win.

Let’s share it with you today. Friends are welcome to leave me messages, comments and forward them to interact with me. Let’s come to today’s headlines to learn science, solve the problems of this ever-changing and colorful world, face many mysterious and unknown things, and face those strange and various natural phenomena. Pay attention to me, the next episode will be more exciting!
