The captain is over 4624mm, how strong is the strength?

Low fuel consumption is in line with the car demand of many office workers. After all, what I think about on my way to and from work every day is definitely not power control, but saving money and ensuring basic transportation needs. What I bring to you today is a-. Let’s take you to appreciate its style.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of Jetta VS7. The front face of Jetta VS7 is very comfortable and looks very fashionable and simple. Combined with headlights, it is very visually impactful. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, delayed closing and so on. Coming to the side of the car body, the size of the car body is 4624MM*1841MM*1624MM, and the car body looks very fashionable and dynamic. With large-sized thick-walled tires, the overall visual effect is very stable and atmospheric. In the design of the rear end, the overall shape of the Jetta VS7 rear end echoes the front end, and the taillights present a dynamic design style, which is neat and vivid.

In terms of interior, the interior design of Jetta VS7 is domineering and full of fighting atmosphere. The steering wheel of the car is eye-catching and made of leather, giving people an impulse to control it. Take a look at the central control, with a 10-inch touch-sensitive LCD central control screen, which makes the interior style impressive and conforms to the mainstream aesthetics. Let’s take a look at the dashboard and seats again. The dashboard of this car presents a simple design style and highlights the trendy temperament. The car uses leather seats, which are wide and thick, and have good support and comfort.

Jetta VS7 is matched with an automatic manual transmission (AT) gearbox, with a maximum power of 110KW and a maximum torque of 250N.m, and its power performance is good.

The space performance of Jetta VS7 trunk is OK. If there are big items when traveling, you can put down the rear seats to expand the space. In addition, the car is equipped with fatigue warning, anti-lock braking (ABS), LED daytime running lights, brake assist (EBA/BAS, etc.), brake force distribution (EBD) main driver airbag, co-pilot airbag, side airbag curtain, front side airbag and other safety configurations.

After reading the above introduction, let’s make a summary. The moderate size of the car is a very suitable choice for many families, and the internal space is enough for daily use in families.

The biggest mistake of Chery Fengyun T9 is the layout of 7 seats.

Starting from 129,900 yuan, up to 15,000 yuan replacement subsidy! The price and rights announced by Chery Fengyun T9 last night attracted a lot of netizens. So, can Chery Fengyun T9 be bought? What are the advantages and disadvantages? How to compare the competitiveness of competing products? Today, the Travel Bureau will answer you one by one from the product level.

First of all, about the question of "can I buy it?" We all agree that as long as the product quality is guaranteed, there is no such thing as not being able to buy it. If there is, the price is not in place. Obviously, the price of Chery Fengyun T9 can arouse the interest of many netizens.

In particular, the replacement subsidy rights mentioned later in the conference made a group of Chery old car owners applaud. However, it should be noted that this replacement subsidy is not enjoyed by all departments. As far as we know, the standard model does not enjoy this right, and the replacement subsidy for the comfortable model is at most 7,000 yuan, which means that you want to take up the replacement subsidy of 15,000 yuan, and only choose high allocation.

Although the high-end models are richer in configuration and better in experience, the price has come to 169,900 yuan, which is 40,000 more expensive than the entry-level models. In this way, it really looks like "the essence of buying is not sold", which has also caused many netizens to criticize, saying that Chery’s operation is not kind.

Secondly, regarding the advantages and disadvantages of Chery Fengyun T9, let’s first sort out the basic information of the new car. The car is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, with four configurations in five and seven versions, and the price range is 129,900-169,900 yuan. In terms of styling design, Chery Fengyun T9 follows the idea of Tiggo 9, which looks full and fashionable as a whole.

As for the shortcomings, or shortcomings, it is necessary to turn our attention to its spatial part. In terms of dimensional parameters, Fengyun T9 has a length, width and height of 4795/1930/1738(1741)mm and a wheelbase of 2770mm, respectively.

Although the book parameters are not bad, it is a bit far-fetched to classify it as a medium-sized SUV, mainly because the body length and wheelbase are slightly behind the competitors. As a reference, take Tang DM-i, an official competing product, as an example. Its body length reaches 4870mm and the wheelbase is 2820mm, and the two are judged.

In view of the previous experience of being wronged in the third row of 7 Tang DM-i, we also have reason to believe that the third row seat of Chery Fengyun T9 is convenient for everyone to use when visiting relatives and friends, and it can’t meet the needs of a multi-population family when traveling. Of course, if you choose the five-seat version, you won’t have this anxiety.

Then, regarding the market competitiveness, we need to make it clear that although the official promotion of the new car is aimed at the medium-sized new energy SUV, the DM-i of Biaotang. However, Chery Fengyun T9 is more suitable for the market segment of compact new energy SUV in terms of pricing and size.

At present, the biggest advantage of Chery Fengyun T9 is that the configuration is rich enough. Under the premise of less than 200,000 yuan, it has been given high-level configurations such as Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, active noise reduction, HUD head-up display system and L2+ level assisted driving. At the same time, the "fully equipped" seat function and luxurious interior materials also make it more competitive at the same level.

Generally speaking, it is right for Chery Fengyun T9 to choose to continue the general direction of Chery brand "focusing on cost performance", which also makes it have a good market competitiveness in the same price market. However, based on the size of the vehicle, there is really no need for seven seats. If you really want to serve multi-population family users, you can choose the "2+2+2" six-seat layout.

The 2022 China Science Fiction Network Literature White Paper was released, and the science fiction network text grew rapidly.

  On March 25th, at the 33rd China Science Fiction Galaxy Award Ceremony, Science Fiction World and China Science Fiction Research Institute of Sichuan University jointly released the White Paper on China Science Fiction Network Literature (2022) (hereinafter referred to as the White Paper), which provided the latest development of domestic science fiction network literature from the aspects of content theme, creative ecology and IP.

  Jiang Zhenyu, Doctor of Science Fiction Literature and Head of China Science Fiction Research Institute of Sichuan University.

  The white paper points out that the post-90s and post-00s are rapidly pouring into the production and dissemination of sci-fi online literature in the activity field of the Internet, which is naturally labeled as "younger". At the same time, sci-fi online literature continues to export high-quality works, winning heavy awards in the industry, the IP-related industrial chain is becoming more and more perfect, the relatively stable business model and healthy and orderly community culture of sci-fi online literature are gradually taking shape, and sci-fi has become one of the most important categories of online literature, reflecting the high-quality development trend of online literature.

  The number of sci-fi contracts increased first, and the quality of works was affirmed by the mainstream.

  According to the data of the white paper, in 2022, qidian released 42,080 sci-fi online literature works, and the number of original sci-fi online literature works increased by 30%, ranking first in the growth of popular categories, and the scale was second only to the fantasy and urban categories as traditional online literature categories.

  In terms of subject matter, the white paper points out that the theme of sci-fi websites is gradually deepening, and the authors are no longer satisfied with the simple application of sci-fi elements, and a series of new integrated writing directions have been born, such as evolutionary superpower, future world, interstellar civilization, super technology and other sub-categories, which meet the diverse reading expectations of readers.

  In terms of quality, the white paper points out that sci-fi online literature is favored by traditional literary circles and sci-fi cultural circles, and more and more sci-fi online literature works have won heavy awards in the field of domestic sci-fi literature because of their innovation and interest. For example, In 2021, We Live in Nanjing, which ranked first in the best-selling list of starting point reading for a long time, won the highest honor of China science fiction "Yinhe Award".

  It is worth mentioning that in this year’s Yinhe Award, a total of 13 online works were shortlisted and finally won four awards. The number of online works shortlisted and the number of awards reached a record high. Among them, Yuan Tong, a platinum writer of reading literature, won the best sci-fi online novel, Tian Rui, a great god writer after 1995, won the best original book, and Elbow Naming of the Night, which sold Xiao Langjun’s "Lingjing Traveler", won the most adaptation potential award. The four winning works were serialized in the starting point reading App, which is also the sixth consecutive China for online literature works under the Reading Group.

  After more than 70% of the authors are 00, readers are more willing to pay.

  In terms of the author’s ecology, the white paper shows that in 2022, there were more than 42,000 starting writers who created sci-fi online literature. Among them, 72% of the writers who chose sci-fi themes for the first time were after 00, and about 70% of the sci-fi category contracted writers were undergraduate students and above; Guangdong, Jiangsu and other economically developed coastal areas, as well as Sichuan, a sci-fi town in China, are still the provinces with the largest distribution of new writers. In recent years, the number of sci-fi net writers has exploded, and the trend of younger and higher education is obvious.

  In terms of readers’ ecology, the white paper points out that sci-fi online texts are becoming the most popular category for readers. Taking the starting point as an example, since 2021, nearly half of the readers have been catching up with sci-fi themes every month. In 2022, the number of sci-fi category readers increased by 39.73% compared with last year, ranking first in the growth of readers in all categories of starting points. At the same time, in 2022, nearly 70% of science fiction readers are under the age of 30, about 40% have bachelor degree or above, and about 30% are distributed in economically developed coastal areas such as Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. These readers with strong spending power also have a stronger willingness to pay. In 2022, the number of paying users in the starting science fiction category increased by nearly 118% compared with last year, and the conversion rate of paid reading was as high as 25%, all of which were the first in the starting category.

  Sci-fi web IP has been adapted into animation and audio drama in batches.

  In terms of IP development of sci-fi websites, the white paper data shows that by the end of 2022, the IP adaptation rate of sci-fi online literature works shortlisted for this "Yinhe Award" was nearly 50%. Many popular sci-fi websites have been adapted into audio dramas, animations and film and television dramas. For example, the adapted cartoons represented by Forty Thousand Years of Star Field and Sword of Dawn, and the adapted cartoons represented by Nomenclature of Night, First Sequence, No Voice of Titan, and Starry Coming have all been online and gained favorable comments from the mass market. On the Himalayan platform, the number of audio dramas of Nomenclature of Night exceeded 1.1 billion, and the number of audio dramas of Lingjing Walker exceeded 400 million.

  In terms of exporting overseas, the white paper points out that a batch of classic domestic sci-fi online literature appeared on the international platform and spread the story of China, which became the "trendsetter" in the wave of China culture going out to sea. In 2022, a number of China sci-fi online literature works, represented by The Age of the Earth and The First Sequence, were included in the Chinese collection of the British Library for the first time. Sci-fi online literature such as Super God Gene and Super God Machinist were also selected into the "Overseas Communication List" of China’s online literature influence list in 2021 and 2020 sponsored by the Chinese Writers Association. With excellent creative quality and distinctive aesthetic personality, they were "in North America and Southeast Asia".

  In the Research Report on the Development of Network Literature in China in 2021 issued by China Academy of Social Sciences, it is mentioned that science fiction has become one of the five categories of network literature. This white paper holds that since the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan, with the guidance and support of the state, society and platforms, China’s online literature has formed a diversified content pattern, which plays an increasingly important role in writing "China story, China experience and China imagination". As the most important category of online literature at present, sci-fi online literature shows the infinite possibility of future narration of "Chinese modernization story".

Test drive Geely Xingrui! With large space/strong power, it is no wonder that the ability to maintain the rate is overwhelming and sagitar.

Compact car is the first choice for many families, and the car is often used in many ways, so many small partners will be very picky about appearance, space and price when buying a car. In addition, as a family car, the economic account should also be calculated, such as the car’s value preservation rate, which is also a key concern of consumers. Because the hedging rate reflects the comprehensive product strength of the car, the car with high hedging rate must have the right quality first, otherwise it will definitely not sell at a good price in the used car market; Secondly, cars with a high rate of preservation have a relatively high sales volume and are highly recognized by consumers, otherwise they will definitely be unpopular in the used car market; Finally, brand power, because a good brand can add points to the product.

In the domestic compact family car market, there are many products with good strength, such as Geely Xingrui, which has excellent cost performance, maintenance rate, power and safety, and is also a popular choice in the field of family cars. Not long ago, The Ranking of One-year Insurance Rate of Car 300 Compact Cars was released, in which Geely Xingrui got the fifth place in the list, and its first-year insurance rate reached 77%, which pushed down many joint venture cars such as Nissan Sylphy (the first-year insurance rate was 76%) and Evergreen Volkswagen Sagitar (the first-year insurance rate was 74%). As a newcomer who has only been listed for more than a year, how did Geely Xingrui achieve such recognition by consumers? We talk to our friends through practical experience.

Appearance part

The front face of Xingrui adopts a brand-new shape of "energy ripple echoed by the universe" and is equipped with a vertical grille design of "energy chord", which further broadens the visual effect. At the same time, the whole system comes standard with the combination of LED energy rhythmic headlights and three-segment pulse daytime running lights, which improves the recognition of the whole.

In addition, we can see red brake calipers and two-color wheels from the side of the car body, which add a bit of sporty atmosphere to the car. The flat taillight group at the rear of the car echoes the headlights well, and a chrome trim strip is equipped in the middle as a decoration, which enhances the layering of the tail. On the whole, Geely Xingrui’s face value is not low, and it also has a strong gas field. It is definitely very face-saving to drive out.

Interior part

The interior of Xingrui impressed me deeply by its texture. The design of "space-time overlapping cockpit" is simple, and the double 12.3-inch large screen is very attractive. In addition to supporting daily use functions, it also supports remote OTA upgrade, and the display clarity is also excellent. In addition, the center console, door handles and other places are also good in terms of materials and quality. In terms of comfort, Xingrui also provides advanced leather seats, BOSE advanced audio system and world-class car fragrance system, which are high-end configurations that will only appear in luxury medium-sized cars. Compared with humble Toyota and the same Volkswagen, Xingrui undoubtedly has outstanding advantages in texture and grade.

Space part

The length, width and height of Xingrui are 4785/1869/1469 mm respectively, and the wheelbase has reached 2800mm, which is fully stronger than that of FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar (the length, width and height are 4753/1800/1462 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2731mm)! This also fully guarantees the space inside the car. In addition, the front seat padding of Xingrui is thicker, the seat cushion is wider, which has certain wrapping and support, and the main driver has 10-way electric adjustment; The rear seat filler is soft, and the central floor is not raised high, so the comfort is excellent.

Power part

Xingrui is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum torque of 300N·m, and its transmission system is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. It can be seen that Xingrui’s blanking on the power system can be described as the fiercest at the same level! Because the joint venture or self-owned brand models with the same price and level as Xingrui are generally equipped with 1.2T, 1.4T and 2.0L engines.

Summary: Xingrui has a vital position for Geely automobile brand, because it is its appearance that opened the era of Geely 4.0 in science and technology. On the whole, Geely Xingrui is a sincere A+ class family car, which has great power, space performance, rich configuration and solid materials, and its value preservation rate is now better than the elegance and sagitar that have been in the compact car market for many years. Geely Xingrui is definitely worthy of the title of "Sedan Subverter", and friends who are going to buy a car in the near future may wish to pay attention to it!

Tesla CEO elon musk has become the world’s new richest man. He is full of inspirational films.

  Beijing, Jan 9 (Zuo Yukun) If you become the richest man in the world one day, what will you do?

  The answer given by the world’s new richest man is: keep working.

  Real-life version of "Iron Man", the speed of wealth rocket soared.

  These two days, the world’s richest man has changed!

  As of the morning of 9th Beijing time, Forbes Real-time Rich List shows that the personal assets of Tesla CEO elon musk have reached US$ 189.7 billion (RMB 1,228.308 billion at the latest exchange rate), surpassing Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s US$ 185.7 billion to become the new richest man in the world.

  At the same time, the wealth of Zhong Shanshan, the new richest man in China and the sixth richest man in the world, was $95.6 billion, only about half that of Musk.

  In fact, earlier, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index had pushed this "overbearing president of Silicon Valley" to the top of the world’s wealth.

  "elon musk, the richest man in the world." On the 7th, a report from Bloomberg reported that Tesla’s share price soared by 7.9% that day, which made Musk surpass Bezos in the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.

  Bloomberg said that in the past year, thanks to its sustained profits, Tesla’s share price soared. Musk’s wealth is increasing. "This may be the fastest wealth creation in history."

The picture shows a screenshot of the ranking of Bloomberg Billionaires Index on the 8th.

  It is said that the movie "Iron Man" is based on the story of Musk, and this soaring speed is really like riding a rocket.

  But soon, Forbes poured a pot of cold water on the rocket. Forbes said that Musk is still the second richest man in the world, and his net worth is still less than Bezos, who ranks first.

  Fortunately, the "fight" between the two lists ended with the opening of US stocks on the 8th local time. Tesla’s share price continued to rise, and the update of Forbes also made Musk secure the position of the richest man in the world.

  In this regard, the party Musk is relatively calm. He replied on social media, "That’s weird" and said, "Well, get back to work …"

  The richest man on earth wants to go to Mars.

  After becoming the richest man in the world, I went to work the first time. Many people commented that this response was really "Versailles". But this is normal for Musk, because he not only "goes to heaven" but also really wants to "go to heaven".

  "The most successful and important entrepreneur in the world", The New York Times once commented on Musk. According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Musk was addicted to science fiction as a child and liked everything related to electricity. He has a wide range of interests, pays great attention to solar energy and artificial intelligence, and is a "tireless iron man" at work.

  According to public information, Musk was born in South Africa in 1971. He was obsessed with science since he was a child. He went to Canada to study at the age of 17 and went to college in the United States at the age of 21. At that time, Musk, who was just in his early twenties, began to think about what would have a great impact on the future of mankind.

  The three answers he gave were Internet, clean energy and space exploration.

  Therefore, the three companies founded by Musk are PayPal, the world’s largest online payment platform, SPACE X, the first private space exploration technology company, and Tesla, the most well-known new energy automobile giant in China.

  But all his business layout is for his ultimate dream-going to Mars. "The purpose of increasing your wealth is to hope that human beings can accelerate their progress towards space civilization."

  Therefore, his Mars immigration plan has also caused many people to ridicule. "Tesla is just a tool for Musk to save money to go to Mars."

  "If you’re going to be buried somewhere, born on Earth, it’s cool to die on Mars-but not because of the impact." Musk said in a recent interview that he expects to go into space in two or three years and hopes to be buried on Mars after his death.

  On December 9, 2020, netizens all over the world witnessed Musk’s latest adventure-SpaceX launched the starship SN8. But unfortunately, SN8 crashed about 6 minutes after the successful launch and exploded.

  Even so, Musk seems to be quite happy. He posted on social media: "We have got all the required data, congratulations to the Space X team!" "Mars, here we come!"

  After the disaster, Tesla has a "blessing"

  Musk’s "strong heart" is not born. Not only was there a slight deviation in the means of transportation to Mars this time, but the development of his means of transportation on the earth also experienced many ups and downs.

  For Musk’s summit, the obvious reason is that Tesla’s share price has been soaring recently.

  Since November last year, Tesla’s share price has continuously broken through the five barriers of $400, $500, $600, $700 and $800 in just three months. In less than one week of the New Year, the share price has risen from $700 to more than $800, and it has sprinted to $900.

  As of the close of January 8 local time in the United States, Tesla’s share price closed at $880.02, with a total market value of $834.172 billion.

  Back in early 2020, Musk’s net worth was "only" US$ 27 billion, ranking among the top 50 in the global rich list. In other words, in one year, Musk’s net worth rose by more than $160 billion. This increase alone exceeds all the assets of Bill Gates, the former richest man and founder of Microsoft.

  But you know, in 2018, Tesla almost went bankrupt.

  "This year (the experience) has made me feel five years older. It is the most difficult year in my career, especially painful." Musk once said on social media that Tesla was only about a month away from bankruptcy, when the company was still studying how to mass-produce Model 3.

  With the continuous climbing of Tesla Giga Shanghai Model 3 production capacity, Tesla "survived". According to the official data released by Tesla at the beginning of this year, the cumulative sales volume of Tesla in 2020 was 499,500 units, basically reaching the planned target of annual sales of 500,000 units.

  At present, with the help of Tesla, Musk’s road to riches is still full of stamina. A few days ago, Tesla China announced that the price of Model Y would be reduced by 160,000 yuan, and the pre-sale official website was instantly squeezed. In just a few days, the order volume has been scheduled for the second quarter of 2021.

  Therefore, Morgan Stanley analysts, one of the world’s four largest investment banks, believe that Tesla’s sales expectations are expected to reach a new high. For Musk, who owns 20.8% of Tesla shares, his wealth may be astronomical in the near future.

  The richest man in the world just wants to rent a house.

  Speaking of this, Musk wants to "Versailles" again-"What if there is so much money, my house is rented."

  Musk said in an interview with foreign media a few days ago that his main properties have been sold, and other properties are also being shot. Two months ago, Musk just sold his house in Los Angeles, and it was bought by a China.

  "If I am busy, I prefer to sleep directly in the factory or office. If my children are there, I still need a place to live, so I tend to rent a place. However, in fact, many times I am alone, so I really don’t need a big house. " Musk said.

  Many times, Musk, who is alone, is actually the father of six children. He had three marriages and five children with two women. Last May, he also had his first baby with his current girlfriend Grimes.

  The marriage of the super-rich often involves more property disputes. You know, the divorce between Bezos, the former richest man in the world, and his ex-wife Mackenzie is "the most expensive divorce in history". According to Bloomberg News, if it weren’t for the divorce, Bezos’ wealth would still be ahead of Musk.

  However, because Musk is very cautious about signing pre-marital or post-marital agreements and extremely active in the division of property during divorce, his ex-wives also have very limited wealth from divorce. From this point of view, even if Musk gets married and divorces in the future, it probably won’t have much impact on his own wealth.

  Musk has become the richest man in the world and is still a careful "workaholic". Don’t say anything, let’s continue to work! (End)

  The fourth major scientific and technological achievement: ultra-fast instantaneous energy band regulation of semiconductor black phosphorus

  The interaction between light and matter is an important means to explore the micro-physical mechanism of low-dimensional quantum materials such as graphene, topology and superconductivity, among which ultra-short and ultra-intense pulsed laser can also be used as an effective means to regulate the electronic structure and state of matter. Using femtosecond pulsed laser, Tsinghua University scientific research team filmed the "movie" of electronic structure evolution with time on the ultra-fast time scale of one trillionth of a second, and realized the measurement and instantaneous regulation of non-equilibrium electronic structure. Using this technology, the research team observed the instantaneous energy band regulation in the semiconductor material black phosphorus for the first time, that is, the electronic structure of black phosphorus evolved from the parabolic shape of equilibrium to the shape of "Mexican hat", and successfully rewritten the "gene" of black phosphorus by femtosecond laser. This important scientific discovery not only expands the frontier of non-equilibrium physics knowledge, but also lays a solid foundation for the future ultra-fast time scale regulation of material properties, which indicates that China has made important progress in the international frontier research field of non-equilibrium physics in condensed matter physics and material science.

  Major scientific and technological achievement 5: reprogramming system of human cytochemistry

  Pluripotent stem cells have unlimited self-renewal and differentiation into all functional cell types of organisms. These magical characteristics make them widely used in cell therapy, drug screening and other fields, and they are the most critical "seed cells" in the field of regenerative medicine. For the first time in the world, Peking University’s scientific research team achieved a major breakthrough in using small chemical molecules to regulate the fate of cells. Through the establishment of human cytochemical reprogramming method, the transformation of different somatic cell types was realized, human skin cells were transformed into pluripotent stem cells, and islet cells were successfully prepared. Compared with the traditional technology, the chemical reprogramming system is safer and simpler, easy to standardize and control, and solves the underlying technical problems in the development of stem cells and regenerative medicine.

Talking from CarMax: The used car industry has entered the era of "all-round" war.

foreword

In general, the second-hand car market in China and the second-hand car market in the United States are also facing the challenges brought by the Internet and e-commerce, but there is still a big gap between the two sides in land policy and market environment, so it is impossible to make a parallel comparison. However, whether in China or the United States, the used car industry has entered the era of online and offline all-round war, and the lack of any link may make used car retailers at a disadvantage in the competition.

The used car market in the United States is highly dispersed. According to the data of the used car industry in the United States, there were about 40 million used cars sold in the United States in 2017, of which about 22 million were between 0 and 10 years old. There are about 18,000 franchised dealers in the United States (similar to domestic 4S stores). CarMax thinks this is their main retail competitor. Franchisees sell both new and used cars, so they master most of the new used cars. Franchisees also use their franchise relationship with automobile manufacturers to mark some used cars as "officially certified used cars", which is an advantage that ordinary used car retailers do not have, and CarMax is no exception.

Of course, in addition to franchised dealers, second-hand car retailers will also face competition from independent second-hand car dealers, e-commerce platforms and C2C trading organizations.

Established in 1996, CarMax, a second-hand car retailer, showed in its latest financial report that it has retailed 71,512 second-hand cars. With this achievement, CarMax has ranked first among second-hand car retailers in the United States.In addition, CarMax is one of the largest wholesale vehicle auction operators in the United States and one of the largest used car financing providers in the United States.

A long history does not mean that CarMax is complacent. In FY 2018, about 90% of customers who bought vehicles from CarMax first visited websites or mobile applications online.

Overview of CARMAX FY 2018 data

Today, we will briefly outline the commercial prototype of the largest used car retailer in the United States from three parts: retail, auction and finance.

retail

According to the latest annual report of CarMax, the company currently has 188 used car stores in the United States, of which 111 stores are located on their own land and 77 stores use leased land.. In FY 2019, CarMax plans to open 15 stores. In FY 2020, CarMax plans to open 13-16 stores.. At present, the number of CarMax employees has exceeded 25,000. In terms of vehicle sources, most of them come from individual car owners, and a smaller part comes from wholesalers, franchisees and independent dealers, and leasing companies.

The second-hand car business in the United States is also seasonal, with the strongest traffic and sales in spring and summer. Sales usually grow the slowest in autumn. In February and March, the traffic and sales of used car retailers began to increase, which coincided with the federal income tax rebate season in the United States.

The second-hand car industry in China also has seasonal laws, which started to decline in December of the previous year and gradually picked up in July.

The car purchase process in CarMax stores is different from the traditional American car retail experience. First of all, CarMax provides a free evaluation for the vehicle, and also provides a written quotation for the owner. After purchasing used cars, CarMax refurbished each used car to meet the relevant quality certification standards. This process includes checking the engine and all major systems. CarMax quality certification standards are developed by CarMax internally and are not affiliated with any third party or original equipment manufacturer. CarMax has the cost of renovation and maintenance in the quotation to consumers. Almost all used car shops in CarMax provide vehicle maintenance services, and the larger stores even have renovation services, which is similar to having the qualification and ability of a domestic first-class repair shop.

CarMax every used car must pass the inspection before it is sold, and promises to get a refund within five days. Each car is also provided with a 30-day limited warranty service, and some paid extended warranty services and financial services are provided to consumers.

Among the domestic second-hand car retail e-commerce companies, Renren, Guazi and Youxin have also adopted the methods of self-construction, joint venture or selection of a third party for second-hand car servicing. The preparation of used cars has a great influence on the price of vehicles and the consumer experience in the process of vehicle sale.

CarMax will transfer almost all the used cars in the inventory to local stores, and the storage is the store. In addition to retailing used vehicles, CarMax also sells new vehicles in two locations under franchise agreements. The integration of warehouses and doors and the sale of new cars are also one of the focuses of domestic used car e-commerce players.

auction

It is worth noting that CarMax pays attention to used cars of 0-10 years old; These vehicles usually cost between $11,000 and $35,000. CarMax evaluates vehicles by age, mileage or condition, and less than half of them meet its retail standards. Vehicles that do not meet the retail standards will be auctioned to franchisees through CarMax’s on-site wholesale auction.

In the United States, CarMax car auction market has two main competitors: Manheim, a subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, and KAR auction service company, which together account for 70% of the wholesale car auction market in North America. These competitors auction vehicles of all ages, while CarMax’s auction mainly sells older vehicles with higher mileage.

At present, the vehicles sold in CarMax wholesale auction are about 10 years old and have more than 100,000 miles. Dealers pay CarMax a certain percentage according to the sales price of the vehicles they buy. Its auction activities are usually held once a week or once every two weeks. 

In other words, retailers who have the ability to obtain car sources from the C end will have more and better used car sources, while retailers like CarMax may keep good car sources for themselves and auction almost used cars to other players. Generally speaking, the ability to collect cars independently is very important in the used car industry.

Previously, Dasou car carried out an advertising campaign in the name of car dealers, one of the purposes of which was to strengthen the car dealers’ car collection ability and ensure that car dealers in the system maintained a strong C-end car collection ability.

At present, there are many e-commerce companies engaged in the auction of used cars in China, including Cheyi Auction, Youxin Auction, Alliance Auction, Weipu Used Car Auction and Daily Auction. Even a number of C2C second-hand car e-commerce companies have begun to actively deploy auction modes, such as the speed auctions of many car groups and the quick sales of everyone under Renren.

finance

In addition to the trading link, CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) is also one of the main sources of the company’s revenue. According to its financial report, as of February 28, 2018,CAFTotal revenue in fiscal year 2018$421.2 million,Compared with FY 2017, it increased by 14.1%.CAFIn its $11.62 billion managed accounts receivable portfolio, it is about895,000 customer accountsprovide services. However, it is worth mentioning that CAF is not the most important participant in automobile consumption finance, and the mainstream players are still banks, exclusive financial departments of new car manufacturers, credit cooperatives and independent financial companies.

Overview of CarMax automobile finance

CAF’s main competitors are banks and credit cooperatives that provide direct financing to customers who buy used cars. The main driving force of CAF’s growth is the growth of CarMax retail used car sales, and typical transactions drive financial growth.

The increase of CAF income is mainly due to the increase of average management accounts receivable and the decrease of loan loss reserve, which is partly offset by the lower percentage of total interest rate.

CarMax auto finance is mainly oriented to the retail market, and there are many players in China, such as Murray Finance and Youxin Finance. China used car e-commerce company also provides B2B storage services for used car dealers, and the main players are the No.1 car loan and the used car home. Earlier, the IPO financial report of Youxin showed that Youxin also participated in the second-hand car storage service.

Competition from Internet and E-commerce

However, it is undeniable that in the United States, the Internet is increasingly used in the second-hand car market. Buying and selling second-hand cars and providing vehicle financing may have a significant adverse impact on the sales and operating performance of CarMax.

American second-hand car retailers also face competitors from e-commerce, including second-hand car pricing information can be queried online, which makes it difficult for second-hand car dealers to distinguish their customers’ products from competitors’ products, resulting in a decline in retail profit margins. Although search engines and online classification websites are not the direct competitors of American used car retailers, online traffic is directed to the websites of competitive car retailers, which makes the competition of used car retailers more diversified.

It is more and more difficult to sell used cars through a single channel (whether online or offline), which is similar to the environment faced by domestic used car retailers.

For example, some websites provide consumers with online evaluation tools to generate quotations and promote consumers to buy at any used car retailer, and evaluation tools have become one of the entrances to used car transactions. There are also a large number of online appraisal companies in China, such as blueprint price, fair price, accurate appraisal, car 300 and car E appraisal. CarMax believes that online evaluation tools may increase the purchase cost of used car retailers because of price transparency.

In addition to the Internet and e-commerce, some companies in the United States sell software and data solutions to new and used car dealers, so that these dealers can provide source and price inventory more effectively. Domestic second-hand car management system providers include Big Windmill, Car Win, Car Netcom, Car Visitors and so on.

In general, the second-hand car market in China and the second-hand car market in the United States are also facing the changes brought by the Internet and e-commerce, but there is still a big gap between the two sides in land policy and market environment, so it is impossible to make a parallel comparison. However, whether in China or the United States, the used car industry has entered the era of online and offline all-round war, and the lack of any link may make used car retailers at a disadvantage in the competition.
