In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love.

Chapter 333: There will be no grass left

Zi Xiaowei got straight to the point: "I'm an outlier. I'm neither the new energy's wildly boastful conquests nor the traditional automakers' deeply entrenched defenses. I've absorbed the former's online strategies and enormous contemporary marketing advantages, while also possessing the latter's deep-rooted heritage, complete production and capital. If Changjiang Automobile's existing sales system doesn't proactively adapt and strive to share some of my performance, then it's doomed to fail."

Suddenly, the seven or eight dealer executives sitting next to Lao Jin burst into various dialects in disbelief: "Ce na..." "I really think that's nonsense!" "Aren't you tired of rubbing it? You're talking nonsense!"

It's not that he was pointing his finger at someone and cursing, but he just couldn't help but say "fuck" in the dialect he was familiar with.

You just sat on the sofa and you overturned the table.

Old Jin was still more important, watching motionlessly: "Is it really that tragic?"

Zi Xiaowei wasn't speaking idly: "The first quarter has already passed, and new energy vehicles already account for 40% of registrations, almost half. This trend will only grow. This is an undeniable reality. Even though many industry insiders pretend not to believe it, saying that canceling subsidies, registration restrictions, and purchase tax benefits would be a false prosperity, this is all the result of desperate policy pushes. How can they be canceled if the targets haven't been met?"

Only Chang Yueling sat there steadily playing with her mobile phone, occasionally looking up and smiling to take a photo of Zi Xiaowei.

Zi Xiaowei had to cooperate with her, and reached out to touch her fluffy short hair lovingly. In fact, he could notice that the girl's neck stiffened for a moment.

Outsiders can't see it: "What does the massive registration of new energy vehicles mean? Regardless of which is better, electric or gasoline vehicles, this is a completely artificial 40% increase in sales, but the total number of vehicles purchased won't increase that much. This will only depress gasoline vehicle sales. With nearly half of sales shrinking and huge production capacity idle, which car companies can withstand it? The only option is to sell more by cutting prices, compressing sales costs, and frantically forcing car dealers to maintain production capacity, hoping that others will collapse first so that they can survive a few more days."

Everyone's faces changed drastically. Manufacturers, unable to sell products, distributed the goods to different regions or cut prices to make small profits, just to prevent the huge investment in production lines from being left idle.

These are all conventional methods.

But in the past, we could just hold on until the peak sales season. Now that new energy sources have entered the market to grab a piece of the pie, there is no more peak season.

Brands from all over the world are on the verge of bankruptcy!

That's not all: "Every year, a large number of gasoline-powered vehicles naturally enter the used market. This number is even amplified and accelerated by the attraction of new energy vehicles. However, even if only a small number of used car buyers choose new energy vehicles, it will lead to a high inflow of gasoline-powered vehicles and a low outflow of gasoline-powered vehicles, rapidly accumulating the stock. A huge number of used gasoline-powered vehicles will accumulate on the market. Without car companies and dealers working hard to maintain prices, prices will collapse very quickly if they are purely based on market rules."

So the conclusion is clear: "The entire fuel vehicle market value will plummet. I believe that fuel vehicles will still have a stable presence, but if you still want to cling to your past glory, or even increase investment to resist this change, you will die!"

No one was shocked this time.

Anyone who can sit here must have at least ten or twenty years of experience in the car business.

They know what's happening in the market better than anyone else.

It’s just that the interests involved are too great, so people dare not or are unwilling to believe it.

Zi Xiaowei understands this very well: "When digital cameras first came out, many manufacturers didn't take them seriously. The imaging accuracy was so poor, who would still look at them on a computer? What's the point if they didn't develop them into photos and frame them? As a result, film manufacturers were hit hard and collapsed. Some people cleverly invested heavily in digital photo printing machines, but within a few years, mobile phones made digital cameras popular with everyone. There was no need to develop photos anymore. The phone became the photo frame, and taking pictures had long become a free way to record life in large quantities. Occasionally, a few memorable photos would be posted online for exquisite and cheap production. Photo printing shops everywhere were stagnant again. You are exactly at this critical juncture. If you can abandon the old thinking, you may be reborn, but seizing a new market may be a big pit."

Lao Jin frowned and asked, "Like, what new track?"

Zi Xiaowei is already a deep automotive expert: "Used car prices are collapsing, and the collapse is severe. Some people think this is a good opportunity to buy various luxury cars at a low price, modify them, and then sell them at a higher price. First of all, this market price can't rise again. The general trend is unstoppable. Forcing it to survive is just throwing money into the water..."

"Some people are still relying on the sales model of fuel vehicles, trying to emulate the new forces, abandoning 4S stores and adopting online sales methods. However, this wrong starting point is the opposite of what you want to achieve. No matter how much effort you put in, it will only lead to a temporary solution."

"Some even see hybrids as a short-term lifespan and invest heavily in them, because they don't have to completely abandon many of their existing systems, and they can still survive and even have a last gasp, but I'm really not optimistic about this."

As he told the story, everyone's faces naturally looked ashen!
The situation and chaos in the automotive industry have actually been there for quite some time.

After entering 2023, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

The market information Zi Xiaowei got from the Qin family's sales managers who were solely responsible for the second-hand market was that prices were collapsing every day, and the whole country was collapsing.

Many used car dealers still thought it was just the same stock market with its ups and downs, and were buying like crazy. But a closer look at the situation reveals that this is a game-changer, and whoever enters will lose.

Chang Yueling was surprised at how quiet it was. She looked up, smiled, then lowered her head and started moving quickly.

It is impossible to understand the turbulent thoughts in the hearts of these car dealers. They can see it and even judge it, but they need a fortune teller to help them confirm it.

Zi Xiaowei is the fortune teller who sold 80 billion yuan worth of products. Many people believe what he says whether he is right or not.

For example, even Lao Jin is saying, "This hybrid... isn't that the path that Changjiang and Dream are taking? Are you so sure that everything will be electric in the future?"

Unexpectedly, the fortune teller shook his head. "I don't know either. No one dares to make that assertion for you, but the current national regulatory approach is geared towards giving electric vehicles the most support. Hybrids are just a way to give the industry some breathing room to adjust. Oil prices are so high, photovoltaic power is dirt cheap, and there's actually a lot of surplus hydropower and wind power. If the huge amount of electricity entering the grid can't be used, it's wasted. Over 50 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity are lost every year because of this. Energy storage is very expensive. A large number of batteries sold in cars become energy storage devices, and it also significantly reduces dependence on oil. The macro attitude is definitely to promote development in this direction. The advantages and disadvantages are just a matter of addressing each link."

Many people say that why bother with the country? What does it have to do with my life which earns 3,000 yuan a month?

This is related.

If the education and training industry affects educational fairness, it will be wiped out.

The battle between oil and electric energy, the battle in the photovoltaic industry, and the national game strategy ultimately come down to the choice of family car camp for ordinary people.

Even the oil companies, which are often said to have iron rice bowls, may be affected by this change.

It is obvious what choice Zi Xiaowei, who has been stabbed once, will make.

But the car dealers were different. They were big and powerful, so how could they turn around so easily? "But...what can we do now?"

Zi Xiaowei finally let slip, "Last night, we announced on WeChat that Ella Auto will fully cooperate with Jingxi Mall and Jingxi Shopping. So far, over 4 million netizens have liked it. We will gradually expand Ella Auto delivery to each region, and after-sales maintenance will be handled by Jingxi Logistics. We also want to thank the S dealership in Shanghai for their support. But what does this mean?"

It was like thunder coming out of nowhere: "This means that Jingxi Logistics will fully enter the entire ecosystem of new energy vehicles. Tonight I will open a live broadcast room to announce this. Jingxi Logistics, with over 4 employees, will gradually have comprehensive automotive ecosystem maintenance capabilities across the country, replacing all S stores and auto repair shops."

The car dealers now look like they were struck by lightning, with their faces burnt on the outside and tender on the inside!
You made the money from selling the car, but now are you also going to make money from maintaining the car?
In terms of strength, which 4S store has better coverage and comprehensive organizational capabilities than Jingxi Logistics?

Which other brand has an after-sales service system with a staff of 400,000 people?

This is the after-sales maintenance of various brands that uses an army to crush scattered troops.

No wonder this guy sat down and said he was waiting to die. It turns out the guillotine was here!

Now everyone couldn't help but curse!
Killing them all is a life-threatening thing!
Even Lao Jin's face turned pale with horror: "It's just a new energy vehicle, right?"

Zi Xiaowei laughed, "Yes, but this will obviously further enhance the advantages of new energy vehicles and give fuel vehicles a hard blow. If you buy a new energy vehicle, you no longer have to worry about after-sales maintenance, delivery, maintenance and repairs, door-to-door delivery, and on-demand service. These are the basic skills of Jingxi Logistics. What can you use to compete?"

There are still some smart people: "They don't have a repair shop, right? They have to establish a cooperative relationship with the relevant factories?"

Zi Xiaowei nodded approvingly. "That's right. I can reveal some information in advance, which may give you a chance to adjust. Even Jingxi hasn't fully communicated all the information yet. Jingxi Auto doesn't manufacture cars. It only provides a complete ecosystem from delivery to scrapping. Remember, it's a complete ecosystem from film application to tire replacement. In the near future, you can place an order for a tire replacement on your phone, and the courier will come to take care of it. The film application will be done in the community parking garage. They prioritize ensuring that internal employees learn various value-added skills first. The reason this behemoth eats everything is because it is so big, and they must ensure the survival of their employees."

Some people are already holding their heads and screaming, it's a fucking barren place!
Starting from Zi Xiaowei, there is no room for the profession of car dealer to survive. It can be said that the automobile 00S store system that created a large number of wealthy people across the country in the 4s will come to an end from now on!
It’s ridiculous that some people think that the changes in the times have nothing to do with them.

Only Miss Chang, whose family has billions of assets, can play with her mobile phone the whole time.

Zi Xiaowei has to keep busy in front of and behind the scenes.
