AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/18 Report--

At the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show, Geely Chairman Li Shufu visited the new Lexus MPV LM300h, and in addition to Lexus, Li Shufu also visited a new car-building power-ideal car.

On April 16, Geely Yang Xueliang shared a photo with the words "like the ideal car", in which Li Shufu gave Li Xiang, founder of the ideal ONE, a thumbs up to like the ideal electric car.

It is not easy to get Li Shufu's favor. Li Shufu has publicly questioned the new car-building forces in China more than once, and Li Xiang seems to be very happy to be liked by Li Shufu, who retweeted: happy, enough for me to brag all my life.

Chairman Li Shufu's sudden visit is my happiest thing today. He said to me: you are fast enough. I said: no, we have been researching and developing for four years, and we have built a complete factory and got the production qualification, but we have hardly done any publicity before. Then I received a compliment, happy, enough for me to brag for a lifetime.

Among the many new car-building forces, the ideal car of car and home is not the fastest, but Jesus Aung is moving forward steadily. Che Hejia was founded in July 2015. it completed 780 million yuan A round financing in 2016 and announced the construction of a factory in 2017. Its manufacturing base is located in Wujin Technology Development Zone, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, with a designed production capacity of 300000 vehicles and a total area of more than 1 million square meters. Ideal ONE, its first pure electric model, has been officially launched in Changzhou manufacturing base on April 10. The new car will be sold at a subsidized price of 328000 and will be delivered in the fourth quarter.

Li Xiang himself is also a man who dares to say, and he has pointed out the shortcomings of the automobile industry many times. He has criticized the 60km/h speed promotion of electric car companies, which he thinks is misleading consumers and deliberately exaggerates the battery life of a car. Li Xiang is also aware of the problems faced by the new car-building forces. On April 10, Li wants to express his views to the media: the financing window for the new car-building forces will not exceed one year. Within a year, a large number of enterprises will be eliminated, and 90% of the investors will suffer heavy losses. When it comes to whether the car and home have an IPO plan, Li Xiang also said that IPO is a natural thing.

For the new car-building forces that have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain in recent years, Li Shufu once said that now many people use Internet electric cars to fool around, which is very dangerous. As a member of the new force of car building, the ideal car is liked by Li Shufu, and it seems that the ideal is still favored by Geely.
