Acceptance speech: 

It is a great honor to be elected as "Top Ten Influential People of Chongqing Manufacturing Industry". I would like to thank the leaders of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Economic and Information Committee, the Chongqing Daily Newspaper Group and the upstream news for organizing this selection activity, and also thank the jury.The experts’ recognition of me!

Last month, Jin Kang New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. was renamed Sailisi Automobile Co., Ltd., the headquarters of Xiaokang Group and related business clusters of Sailisi moved to a new location, and our customer M5 also achieved the fastest record of "delivering more than 10,000 cars in 87 days". These achievements can not be achieved without the care and support of leaders and partners from all walks of life.

We will continue to focus on the development of high-end smart cars and contribute to the transformation, upgrading and high-quality development of Chongqing’s automobile industry! thank you

Building a car: Sailis lays out two smart factories to develop new energy vehicles.

On December 23rd last year, Sailis Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Sailis") officially released its high-end smart car brand AITO, and the first model M5 was delivered in March this year. By the end of May, the cumulative delivery exceeded 10,000 vehicles.

Wenjie M5 is produced in Sailisi Liangjiang Smart Factory, which meets the industrial 4.0 standard.

What standard is Industry 4.0?

Xu Lin said that the Sailisi Liangjiang Smart Factory, which was put into use in 2019, has the world-class high-standard intelligent manufacturing capability, and has achieved a high degree of automation and intelligence. It has more than 1,000 intelligent robots, 100% automation of key processes, and 24-hour online inspection, which effectively reduces labor costs while making manufacturing accuracy and product quality reach first-class standards. It was awarded the "Lighthouse Factory" in Chongqing in 2021.

In order to avoid the potential danger caused by battery PACK operation under high voltage of more than 300 volts, the production module in the battery pack workshop of Liangjiang Smart Factory is produced by automatic AGV, and the most advanced precision high-speed aluminum wire welding technology is adopted in the key welding process, which realizes automatic on-line monitoring of welding.

"Such a factory guarantees the rapid production and high-quality delivery of our vehicles," he said. In addition to Liangjiang Smart Factory, we are building a second smart factory in Fenghuang, Shapingba District, which is also built according to Industry 4.0 standard. It is expected to be completed and put into use in the second half of this year, with a maximum annual production capacity of 150,000 units.

R&D: Cross-border integration of Huawei and Cyrus creates three precedents.

On May 29th, the reporter went to the headquarters of Xiaokang Group in Shapingba District Enterprise Innovation Service Center.

New headquarters, new starting point.

"The relocation of the headquarters of Xiaokang Group and its related business clusters to new homes is a new stage of development for Celestial Automobile at a higher starting point, and it is also a new starting point for Celestial to make efforts to lead global intelligent enterprises." Xu Lin said.

In December 2017, Xu Lin was transferred from Chief Technology Officer of Xiaokang Group to Celes, and began to transform new energy vehicles from traditional car tracks.

Xu Lin said that traditional cars are different from the new forces of the Internet. Internet companies have certain inherent advantages in entering the new energy automobile industry. First, they have their own scientific and technological attributes, and they have certain advantages and persuasiveness in the intelligent aspects of vehicles, such as autonomous driving and intelligent cockpit. Secondly, many technology companies have their own relatively mature user circles and their own fans, so it is easier to find their target audience after the vehicle is built.

Traditional car companies have a complete vehicle supply and production system, and the established brand reputation, vehicle performance experience, technical strength and workmanship have occupied certain advantages.

At the same time, traditional car companies have accumulated many years of experience in vehicle chassis, power, interior and exterior design, and both adjustment and design are quite mature.

"Cyrus has a good partner, Huawei." He said that many people say that the cross-border integration of Huawei and Cyrus is a wonderful move. Combining the strengths of all parties, it will become a global intelligent leading enterprise in the future. I agree with this statement.

The transformation of new energy automobile industry shows a trend of borderless integration, and ecological development and mutual win-win are more important, and the cross-border alliance between automobile enterprises and technology companies is bound to be further strengthened. The cooperation between Cyrus and Huawei is also the general trend, and the pragmatic values of "customer-centered, quality first" are the consensus of the two sides, and the two sides have already started cooperation in 2019.

At present, Celestial and Huawei, through the mode of mutual empowerment and in-depth cooperation, further promote cooperation in the field of intelligent terminals around technologies, products and channels, jointly create high-performance and intelligent mobile travel solutions, and integrate the digital world into every car.

Both Cyrus and Huawei are "technology houses" that focus on technology research and development. Huawei is a global leader in scientific and technological innovation and is committed to building a smart world with the Internet of Everything.

Cyrus also pays attention to the investment in research and development, and has mastered more than 1,000 new energy-related technology patents. It is also the first enterprise in China to master the core three-electricity technology and have the qualification to produce new energy vehicles. It is precisely because they have the same pursuit in the technical field that the cooperation between the two sides is quite effective.

Huawei has more than 5,000 experience stores in China and 730 million smartphone users, which can provide a huge traffic portal for the sales of intelligent products.

"The cross-border integration of our joint business with Huawei has created three precedents." Xu Lin said: First, it has created a precedent for the deep integration of new energy automobile enterprises and ICT technology enterprises; The second is to create a precedent for cars to enter mobile phone stores for sale, and realize the first channel interoperability between technology brands and automobile brands in the world; The third is to create a precedent for the release of mobile phones and cars together.

Planning: The M7 will be mass-produced soon, and a number of mid-to-high-end smart models will be available in five years.

Recently, Celestial Phoenix Smart Factory is working overtime for the final debugging stage.

"Wenjie M5 is produced in Liangjiang Smart Factory, and the upcoming Wenjie M7 will be produced in Phoenix Smart Factory." Xu Lin said. The M7 is positioned as a "luxury smart large electric SUV" and will be officially released soon.

"For the M7, which is about to be mass-produced, there has been a solid foundation and good reputation laid by the M5 before, and with the technical support of Huawei, we think the future can be expected."  

At present, Chongqing’s automobile industry has a huge scale and outstanding industrial advantages. Sailis will actively respond to the strategy of building a world-class automobile industry cluster in Sichuan and Chongqing, closely follow the new round of scientific and technological revolution and the trend of "new four modernizations" of automobiles, and accelerate the digital transformation of enterprises.

"We will still adhere to the concept of self-sustaining technology, maintain an open and cooperative mentality, actively cooperate with outstanding enterprises in relevant chains, promote the optimization of the whole industrial chain, and jointly promote the development of the new energy automobile industry." He said that Cyrus will firmly promote the automobile energy transformation and create a smart mobile life, adhere to the in-depth cooperation with Huawei, and strive to become a global smart car brand enterprise. In the next five years, it will plan a variety of mid-to-high-end smart models to meet the needs of more users.

Xu Lin said that in the future, Sailis will still take users as the center, define car functions based on user usage scenarios, define configuration and technical solutions based on functions, and divide cars into hardware bases, software bases and application layers to gradually realize "software-defined cars" and realize "pluggable hardware, programmable scenes, ecology on demand and self-evolution of the system".
