AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/01 Report--

Since 360 and Nezha announced the co-construction of cars, its follow-up promotion has attracted much attention. Recently, there are media reports that the company has started recruitment in the automotive business. From the recruitment pictures, we can see that the positions include QA director, senior manager of perceptual fusion algorithm development, senior manager of software architecture, senior manager of information security, senior manager of intelligent driving development, and so on. In addition, the news also said that the recommendation bonus for all positions is as high as hundreds of thousands. And do not rule out the early core employees and executives who joined the company to transfer to the automobile business line. However, internal job transfer is not an easy task. It takes more than one year to enter the post. Only on the basis that the business of the original department is not affected and there are candidates for replacement can the transfer application be carried out.

In response to the relevant report, Zhou Hongyi, the founder of the company, retweeted Weibo to confirm and respond: the recruitment of the smart car team is not only internal, but also welcome external elites to introduce and recommend themselves, and the company is fully liberalized and fully supported in terms of remuneration.

It is worth noting that from the position of senior manager of quality development expert and perception fusion algorithm development in this recruitment position, we can also see that its recruitment information focuses on intelligent driving. This is in line with Zhou Hongyi's idea at the press conference. Zhou Hongyi said, "the future is a software-defined car, and smart car is essentially a smart terminal. 360 will provide partners with comprehensive digital technologies such as cloud computing, big data, AI, Internet of things, and Internet of things security, bringing 'equal rights of experience' to users with 'technology equality', so that more consumers can spend less money. Have a better driving experience and service experience. "

On May 11, the company announced on its official Weibo that it will join hands to create one of the new forces, Nezha Automobile, to officially enter the smart car field. Zhou Hongyi said that the joint car maker of 360and Nezha will not be a luxury car, but hopes to use the power of technology to be a smart car that ordinary people can afford, to make a car of about 100000, not to make a toy car, but to make a real SUV.

According to the data, which is the car brand of Hezhong New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., founded on June 1, 2018, it currently owns three models, namely, N01, Nezhong V and Nezhu, covering small SUV and compact SUV. Among the new car-building forces in China, Naha car is not outstanding, with cumulative sales of 15091 vehicles in 2020 and 11458 in the first April of this year, compared with 27162 vehicles in the same period, with an ideal of 18118. In July last year, Nahu also said publicly that it plans to go on sale in Science and Technology Innovation Board this year, but there has been no move to launch it so far.

According to the financial report, the operating income in 2020 was 11.615 billion yuan, compared with 13.129 billion yuan in 2018 and 12.841 billion yuan in 2019, a decline for three consecutive years, of which Internet advertising and services accounted for 66.68 percent of the main business. In terms of profits affected by the epidemic, the net profit in 2020 was only 2.913 billion yuan. It is reported that 360will take the lead in investing in the financing of D-round, which is about 3 billion yuan, and this 3 billion yuan is not a small sum for 360. therefore, it is not difficult to see that 360 is determined to build a car this time. As for whether it can lead to a breakthrough in 360 and Naga after its cooperation with Nashi Automobile, it remains to be tested by the market.
