RMB is becoming more and more international! The proportion of foreign exchange reserves in the world has reached a new high.

  Beijing, August 15th (Reporter Li Jinlei) The RMB is becoming more and more international!

  The fifth largest international payment currency, the fifth largest international reserve currency, the third largest trade financing currency and the eighth largest foreign exchange transaction currency … … This is the RMB!

  From WeChat official account, the central bank.

  The fifth largest international payment currency

  On August 14th, the central bank released the Report on RMB Internationalization in 2020, and RMB internationalization reached a new level in 2019. According to the latest statistics, RMB ranks fifth among the major international payment currencies, with a market share of 1.76%.

  According to the report, the cross-border use of RMB increased rapidly against the trend in 2019. The total amount of cross-border payment and receipt of RMB by banks on behalf of customers in the whole year was 19.67 trillion yuan, up 24.1% year-on-year. On the basis of the rapid growth in 2018, the amount of payment and receipt continued to maintain rapid growth, reaching a record high.

  The fifth largest international reserve currency

  According to the official currency composition (COFER) data of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), by the end of the fourth quarter of 2019, the scale of RMB reserves reached US$ 217.67 billion, accounting for 1.95% of the total foreign exchange reserves in the indicated currencies, ranking fifth, surpassing Canadian dollars by 1.88%, which is the highest level since the IMF began to publish RMB reserve assets in 2016.

  According to incomplete statistics, at present, more than 70 central banks or monetary authorities around the world have included RMB in foreign exchange reserves.

  In the first quarter of 2020, the share of RMB foreign exchange reserves announced by IMF further rose to 2.02%, the highest level since RMB joined the SDR (Special Drawing Rights) currency basket in 2016.

  The third largest trade financing currency

  The attraction of RMB as an international financing currency is gradually emerging.

  According to the report, the survey shows that about 82% of the overseas industrial and commercial enterprises surveyed said that when the liquidity of international currencies such as the US dollar and the euro is relatively tight, they will consider using RMB as the financing currency, which has reached a new high since 2016. 75% of the overseas industrial and commercial enterprises interviewed are willing to consider using RMB as the trade financing currency in their economic and trade exchanges with China.

  The eighth largest foreign exchange trading currency

  In 2019, global RMB foreign exchange transactions increased steadily. According to the latest data released by BIS in April 2019 (once every three years), RMB ranks eighth among the most active currencies in the world, and ranks first among the currencies of emerging market countries.

  The global average daily trading volume of RMB increased from $202 billion in 2016 to $284 billion, and its share in the global foreign exchange market increased from 4% in 2016 to 4.3%.

  RMB assets are becoming more and more popular.

  According to the report, by the end of 2019, the amount of domestic financial assets such as RMB stocks, bonds, loans and deposits held by overseas entities totaled 6.41 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 30.3%. Among them, the stock market value is 2.1 trillion yuan, the bond custody balance is 2.26 trillion yuan, the deposit balance is 1.21 trillion yuan (including interbank current account deposits), and the loan balance is 833.2 billion yuan.

  Stocks and bonds in domestic financial markets have become the main varieties for overseas entities to allocate RMB assets. By the end of 2019, the scale of domestic RMB stocks and bonds held by overseas entities increased by 48.6% year-on-year, of which the amount of bond custody accounted for 2.3% of the total bond custody in the inter-bank bond market, and the market value of stocks held accounted for 3.6% of the total market value of A shares. In 2019, stocks accounted for 66.6% of the domestic RMB assets newly added by overseas entities.

  In other words, more and more foreign investors are looking for gold in China’s capital market. In 2019, the cross-border receipts and payments of securities investment in RMB totaled 9.51 trillion yuan, up 49.1% year-on-year, with a net inflow of 621.9 billion yuan.

  More foreign trade enterprises use RMB for cross-border payment and receipt.

  According to the questionnaire of the People’s Bank of China on foreign trade enterprises, since 2019, foreign trade enterprises have been highly motivated to participate in cross-border RMB business. As of the fourth quarter of 2019, 84.6% of enterprises chose RMB as the main currency for cross-border settlement.

  Judging from the driving factors for enterprises to choose cross-border RMB settlement, since 2019, due to the influence of external factors such as Sino-US trade friction, RMB exchange rate fluctuations have increased. Many enterprises choose cross-border RMB business as a means to avoid exchange rate risks, accounting for 64.7%. In addition, simple settlement process, reducing settlement cost and facilitating financial accounting and fund management are also the main reasons why enterprises choose to carry out cross-border RMB business, accounting for 43.2%, 36.8% and 32% respectively.

  The RMB cross-border payment system (CIPS) has become the main channel for RMB cross-border settlement. In 2019, the CIPS system handled 1.884 million cross-border RMB businesses, amounting to 33.9 trillion yuan, up 31% and 28% respectively. It handled 7,537 transactions daily, with an amount of 135.7 billion yuan.

  Iron ore transactions are settled in RMB.

  In recent years, China has been the largest importer and consumer of iron ore trade in the world. The import and consumption of iron ore are at the global level of 70% and 50% respectively, but it has been relatively passive in pricing.

  Nowadays, domestic iron and steel enterprises have made continuous progress in using RMB to settle iron ore imports. In early May 2020, baoshan iron & steel, a subsidiary of China Baowu Group, and Rio Tinto completed the first cross-border RMB settlement with blockchain technology. This is another new development after baoshan iron & steel completed the first RMB cross-border settlement with Brazil’s Vale and Australia’s BHP Billiton in January and April this year respectively.

  So far, China Baowu and the world’s three major iron ore suppliers have achieved RMB cross-border settlement, totaling more than 500 million yuan.

  The RMB exchange rate remained basically stable.

  At the beginning of August 2019, due to the further escalation of trade friction, the RMB exchange rate was "broken by 7" driven by market forces, but the exchange rate expectation remained stable on the whole. Since then, due to the changes in the international economic and financial situation and the trade friction situation, the RMB exchange rate has broken by 7 for many times.

  The report pointed out that in general, cross-border capital flows and foreign exchange supply and demand were basically balanced in 2019, exchange rate expectations were generally stable, and the RMB exchange rate remained basically stable at a reasonable and balanced level.

  Overall, in 2019, the domestic RMB exchange rate fluctuated in both directions, and its flexibility was significantly enhanced. The RMB has risen and fallen against the US dollar and other major currencies in the world. The central parity of RMB against the US dollar, Japanese yen and British pound has depreciated by 1.62%, 3.43% and 5.18% respectively compared with the end of 2018, and the central parity of RMB against the euro has appreciated by 0.41% compared with the end of 2018.

  Raise the level of free use of RMB

  According to the report, RMB internationalization is a natural process driven by the market. In recent years, the cross-border use of RMB has maintained rapid growth, especially since the COVID-19 epidemic hit global trade, finance and economy this year, the cross-border use of RMB has remained resilient and showed growth.

  The Bank of China said that in the future, it will continue to serve the real economy, adhere to the principle of marketization, and steadily promote the internationalization of RMB.

  First, adhere to market-driven. Explore and promote a higher level of trade and investment facilitation, constantly remove obstacles restricting the use of RMB at home and abroad, and create a level playing field for RMB and other major convertible currencies. Second, continue to promote the opening of domestic financial markets and the interconnection of infrastructure. Further facilitate foreign investors to use RMB to invest in domestic bonds and stocks. The third is to guide the healthy development of the offshore RMB market. Improve the freely usable level of RMB and promote the benign interaction and deep integration between offshore and onshore markets. The fourth is to improve macro-prudential management. Strengthen the monitoring, analysis and early warning of cross-border capital flows, make countercyclical adjustments, and guard against the risks of cross-border capital flows. (End)

Push the power exchange technology to the world? Weilai said that it will share the power exchange technology with its competitors.

According to the British "Financial Times" report, China’s new energy automobile giant Weilai is ready to share its electric vehicle power exchange platform technology with other car companies in a competitive relationship, and plans to build 1,000 power exchange stations overseas by 2025.

Peter, vice president of Weilai Europe, said in an interview that the company is willing to share its power exchange platform technology with other automakers and is in talks with domestic and foreign automakers on this matter. When asked whether sharing power exchange technology refers to authorization or other types of commercial agreements, Weilai declined to provide more details.

"We hope to become a participant in the high-end market in Europe by 2025." Peter said. Wei Lai believes that the power exchange mode can win the support of European consumers, and the scarcity of charging piles and long charging time hinder the demand growth of electric vehicles in Europe. The company hopes to expand the application scope of this technology by selling the power exchange system, so as to resolve consumers’ concerns about the shortage of charging piles.

Weilai has established 868 power exchange stations in China, and said that its customers have replaced batteries 7.6 million times. In January this year, Weilai opened the first power exchange station in Norway, and plans to establish 20 power exchange stations in that country. In the future, the company aims to build 1,000 power exchange stations in Europe and the United States by 2025, and increase the global power exchange station network to 5,000 by the middle of this century.

Weilai Automobile said that when the ES8 SUV model was launched in Norway, almost all customers chose to rent batteries separately, so that they could use the power exchange station. The one-month battery rental fee includes two free battery replacements. Consumers can choose a 100 kWh battery or a cheaper 75 kWh battery, which will be available later this year.

The so-called "battery replacement" means that when the battery of the new energy vehicle is insufficient, the battery that has been fully charged is replaced at the recent power replacement station, and the concept is similar to the charging method of the old mobile phone battery replacement. The average time required for changing power is less than 5 minutes, while the charging mode takes more than one hour under the condition of fast charging and 8-10 hours under the condition of slow charging.

Compared with the traditional charging mode, the power exchange mode has the advantages of shortening the charging time, prolonging the battery life, improving safety, having little impact on the power grid, sharing the pressure of insufficient charging piles, and directly reducing the cost of car purchase for users.

The fly in the ointment is that the construction cost of the power exchange network is much higher than that of the charging network. The Swedish Transport Authority published a research report on power exchange last year, which quoted Weilai’s data to show that the cost of building a power exchange station in China was 772,000 US dollars, including battery and site lease, while the cost of building a battery charging station was 309,000 US dollars.

Wei Lai said that it is currently seeking to reduce the construction cost of the power station. Sharing its power exchange platform with other automobile manufacturers can improve the utilization rate of the power exchange station, thus improving cost-effectiveness.

Operation situation of Weilai power station

In addition to Weilai, there are not many domestic enterprises engaged in power exchange services at present, and most of them are for service vehicles such as taxis, and there are only a handful of power exchange services for private cars. The main reason is that the power exchange standard has not been unified, the cost is too high, and it is difficult to make a profit in the short term.

Tesla, the global pioneer of electric vehicles, claimed in March last year that the mode of changing power for electric vehicles was "full of problems and not suitable for large-scale promotion". Tesla tried the power exchange strategy in the United States many years ago, but soon gave up the plan. Well-known car companies such as GM, Volkswagen and Renault also expressed doubts about the power exchange model.

It is reported that one of Weilai’s potential customers may be Geely’s Lotus Technology, which Weilai once invested in through its venture capital department. At the same time, Geely plans to build 5,000 electric vehicle exchange stations around the world by 2025, but has not indicated whether it will create its own platform.

In addition, later this year, Weilai will March into Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany. Among them, the model that Weilai plans to launch in Germany will be the ET7 sedan, which directly competes with the electric BMW 7 Series which also adopts the power exchange technology.

It is generally believed in the industry that home-filled piles, fast-filled piles and changing power stations will become the three main ways to replenish energy for electric vehicles in the future. According to the analysis of CICC’s research report, it is estimated that the number of power stations in China will reach 22,000-26,000 in 2025, with broad market prospects.

Contrary to the negative attitude of foreign car companies, the China Municipal Government is vigorously promoting the large-scale application of the electric vehicle replacement mode as an expansion of the electric vehicle energy replenishment mode.

In 2020, the power exchange mode was included in the category of "new infrastructure" and was first written into the "Government Work Report" of the two sessions. In the construction of new energy infrastructure, "building charging piles" is expanded to "adding charging piles, changing power stations and other facilities". By 2021, the government work report once again mentioned the need to increase facilities such as changing power stations.

In May, 2021, the world’s first national standard for battery replacement technology, Safety Requirements for Electric Vehicles, was approved and issued by the State Administration of Markets and the State Standardization Administration Committee, which specified the safety requirements, test methods and inspection regulations for electric vehicles with replaceable batteries, and it was implemented in November, 2021.

In October, 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched a pilot project on the application of new energy vehicle switching mode, and 11 cities were included in the pilot project. The goal is to produce 100,000 rechargeable cars by 2023 and build more than 1,000 power stations in pilot cities.

Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued the "Key Points of Automobile Standardization in 2022", which requires the development of standards such as on-board power exchange system, general platform for power exchange and battery pack for pure electric vehicles. Automobile manufacturer Weilai and Geely, battery manufacturer Aodong New Energy and central enterprise China Petrochemical jointly said that they plan to open a total of 24,000 power exchange stations nationwide by 2025, while the current number of power exchange stations is about 1,400.

According to Reuters’s previous report, if the China market succeeds in promoting the power exchange model on a large scale, this change may affect the business models of global auto giants such as Tesla, Volkswagen and General Motors. These brands of electric vehicles use their own patented batteries, and Tesla even only uses the company’s charging network.

Power exchange technology has always been one of the core competitiveness of Weilai’s automobile products. Sharing power exchange technology is equivalent to Tesla allowing other brands to use its super charging network. In addition to reducing the cost of power exchange, increasing market share and accelerating the global layout, Weilai’s move is to seize more voice in the upcoming power exchange industry.

Please pay attention to these "pits" when you join more VIP member routines in online video.

  BEIJING, Sept. 5 (Reporter Wu Tao) "Putting an elephant in the refrigerator is divided into three steps", but do you know how many steps there are to cancel the "automatic fee deduction" for an online video VIP member? Many netizens don’t even know where and how to cancel, all because the online video VIP membership routine is "full".

  Routine one

  Price temptation, binding "automatic deduction"

  "One cent for membership" and "9.9 yuan enjoys exclusive price for beginners". Many online video websites have been doing this activity almost all the year round, saying that opening VIP members is cheap. Is this true?

  The reporter learned in the investigation that when using these "preferential prices" to open VIP members, they have one thing in common, that is, they are forced to bind "automatic renewal" (or "automatic deduction"), otherwise they cannot enjoy such prices; The preferential price can only last for one month or a few days.

  "Why set the preferential price? One is to attract new VIP members, and the other is to bind payment methods, so as to be ‘ Automatic fee deduction ’ Provide the necessary conditions. " Some senior online video member users say that every time they recharge, they are tempted by the price, so they are basically cheaper "continuous monthly subscription".

  Routine 2

  There is no "automatic fee deduction" cancellation service on the page.

  After users subscribe to the "automatic fee deduction", in order to reduce the loss of VIP members, many online video websites do not set up the "automatic fee deduction" service, or the location is difficult to find. For example, in the APP member center of Mango TV, there is no way to cancel the automatic renewal on the whole page.

  "I don’t know how to cancel VIP membership" and "It’s too troublesome to cancel". Some users said in an interview with Zhongxin. com that they must open VIP members to watch popular dramas, but they always renew their fees because they can’t cancel the "automatic deduction fee" after watching them.

  Routine 3

  "automatic fee deduction" deducts fees in advance

  Some netizens believe that VIP members have not expired yet, and it is too late to cancel the "automatic deduction" when it expires. In fact, this is careless again. Many online video websites deduct fees in advance, about 1 to 3 days in advance. The specific time may be different for each enterprise.

  Routine four

  Members set up in the middle, and special resources will be charged again.

  According to the data published by some online video websites, the VIP membership rate of some websites has reached more than 90%, which means that among 100 users, more than 90 people are VIP members, but when most people become VIP members, the membership rights are not so "distinguished".

  The reporter’s investigation found that VIP members, including video websites such as Tencent Video, still need to pay extra when watching some sports programs; In some online audio-visual services such as QQ music, some music downloads, even if they are members of Green Diamond, still have to be charged separately.

  Routine five

  Inductive renewal fee

  OK, just pay for special resources, but sometimes, when you click on the pop-up page to pay, it becomes a VIP member "renewal fee" instead of "purchase", and the resources you want are still not available.

  In an interview with a reporter from Zhongxin.com, a user said that she used her member account to download songs on an online audio-visual platform, showing that she paid extra, and then a payment window popped up. "After paying, I still can’t download them. After paying for three times in a row, I found that it was renewed for three times. Finally, I found the purchase channel in a small line on the page, which can be marked prominently as ‘ Renewal fee ’ It is easy to be fooled. "

  Routine six

  Only payment channels that can be "automatically deducted" are provided.

  The No.42 document previously issued by Networked Clearing Co., Ltd. makes it clear that before June 30, the direct connection between all third-party payment institutions and banks will be cut off, and banks will no longer directly provide withholding channels for third-party payment institutions.

  The reporter noticed that Youku and others only provide payment methods that support withholding services, such as Alipay, WeChat payment or SMS from operators, and do not support payment channels that cannot automatically deduct fees.

  Enterprise: This is an industry phenomenon.

  The reporter contacted the relevant staff of two online video websites and got a response, saying that VIP members can meet the differentiated needs of users well, and it is not mandatory, and users can choose by themselves.

  "As for ‘ Routine ’ This is an industry phenomenon, not just online video, including online music, online download, online knowledge payment and other fields. Many companies do this. "

  Some users spend thousands of dollars a year.

  Although it is not mandatory, the burden is not small for users. "I have opened Youku, Iqiyi, Mango TV, Tencent videos, and I can’t remember them. The reason for recharging members every time is probably because of popular online dramas or variety shows." The above-mentioned senior online video user said.

  It is understood that the annual fee for VIP members of Tencent video is 198 yuan, and most of the online video VIP members are also around 200 yuan. For example, if a user has opened 10 VIP members, it will cost more than 2,000 yuan a year.

  In addition, don’t underestimate the VIP membership fee of tens of dollars per month. According to media reports, because there are many kinds of members charging for the Internet, many users spend five or six thousand yuan on membership purchases every year.

  How can I cancel the "automatic fee deduction"?

  Having said that, how can the "automatic deduction" be cancelled? The reporter found that there are basically two methods. One is to provide websites that cancel automatic renewal, such as Tencent Video and Youku, which can be cancelled in automatic renewal management. But there are relatively few such websites.

  More online video website member centers don’t have a cancel button, so they can only cancel through the purchase channel.

  For example, if you want to cancel the "automatic deduction" for VIP members purchased through Alipay, you can find the corresponding application in Alipay My-Settings-Payment Settings-Confidential Payment/Automatic Deduction-Payment Code and Sonic Confidential Payment, and just cancel. (End)

Li Xinqiang: Integrating Global Resources to Cultivate Local Parts Enterprises

  After three years in Chengdu and two years in Wuhan, the sixth Global Automobile Forum 2015 will be held in Chongqing Yuelai International Conference Center on June 9-10. With the theme of "Great Change: Restructuring the Industrial System", more than 800 Chinese and foreign professionals gathered to discuss the future changes of the automobile industry structure. The following is a speech by Li Xinqiang, Assistant to the President of Changan Automobile and Minister of Purchasing.

Li Xinqiang, Assistant to the President of Changan Automobile and Minister of Purchasing Department

  Li Xinqiang: Good host, good morning everyone! I am honored to be invited by the organizing Committee to discuss with you how to build a cooperative relationship between automobile and parts enterprises. Changan Automobile was founded in 1862, with a history of 153 years, but we have only entered the automobile industry for 30 years. At present, Changan Automobile has established R&D centers in Italy, India, the United States and Yokohama, Japan, and has more than 6,000 R&D teams around the world. At the same time, we have established joint ventures with Ford and Mazda, and have 12 production bases and 32 automobile plants around the world, and established strategic cooperative relations with world-class parts enterprises. In 2014, Changan Automobile sold 2.54 million vehicles, including 1.38 million vehicles sold by China brand.From January to May this year, 1.25 million vehicles were sold, of which 730,000 were sold by China brand.The sales of China brand of Changan Automobile ranked first in China and 14th in the world for 8 consecutive years. It can be said that Changan Automobile is not only a long-standing enterprise, but also a young enterprise. It not only adheres to the road of independent research and development, but also constantly integrates excellent global resources. It not only cultivates local parts enterprises, but also hopes to carry out in-depth cooperation with multinational parts suppliers.

  In China, there are vehicles from Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, as well as state-owned enterprises and private enterprises. Parts enterprises also have suppliers’ management from different countries and different properties, capital cooperation based on equity, long-term strategic cooperation and some ways of full market competition. For a long time, it has been centered on the automobile factory, and has not paid attention to the voices and demands of suppliers. With the slowdown of market growth and the intensification of competition, the contradiction between suppliers and automakers has gradually intensified. Suppliers complain about low prices, frequent design changes and inaccurate plans, while automobile companies also accuse poor quality and slow response. These problems are not only found in China brands, but also in joint venture brands. The reason, I think, is that automobile enterprises still stay in the single imperative management of suppliers, lacking sufficient communication, understanding and trust with suppliers, which will inevitably reduce the synergy efficiency of supply chain and weaken the competitive advantage of products. We should change from supplier management to supplier relationship management. From single command management to double collaborative relationship. First of all, we must make clear the goal of two-way management.

  Changan Automobile’s vision is to build a world-class automobile brand. Therefore, we should take the establishment of an internationally competitive supply system as our ultimate goal. Create an efficient China brand supply chain. The core is to cultivate a batch of supply systems that are not only excellent in ability, but also capable of serving our institute. The key is to build a two-way collaborative and sustainable system. The function of procurement has been changed. Chang ‘an headquarters is responsible for purchasing strategy and planning, while molecular companies are responsible for purchasing vehicles, transportation and implementation, and a special supplier relationship management department has been set up at the headquarters. Unified management of supplier performance evaluation relationship improvement, strategic cooperation and capability improvement. Then, the procurement process is reformed, so that suppliers can be integrated into R&D, procurement, production, sales and other links, so that suppliers are not only participants, but also co-makers of rules. Not only implementation, but also suggestions for the development of vehicle enterprises, and truly achieve win-win development.

  It is necessary to change the management of suppliers from one-way to two-item. Changan Automobile has carried out a lot of experiments and innovations in this process. In terms of quality, in order to improve the product quality of China brand, we have formulated and published the strategy of Changan Automobile Parts, and constructed the first supplier quality ability certification standard of China brand. At the same time, we have set up SP teams in various projects of Changan Automobile to cooperate with suppliers to improve quality and improve cooperation. And work with suppliers to develop the quality standards and technology of each component. In terms of cost, the management mode of purchasing cost has been changed, from purchasing price management to whole life cycle management of parts, and accurate cost analysis of parts has been established. Guide suppliers to control the cost in all stages from design, development to mass production, and at the same time, build the first supplier cost management diagnosis of China brand to optimize the cost together with suppliers. In terms of sales, according to the logistics properties of parts, we plan in advance the suppliers that each production base will enter the industrial park and build nearby. The release mechanism of product planning and production planning has been established to guide suppliers to build property rights in advance. At the same time, efforts should be made to improve the accuracy of production planning and minimize the impact on suppliers’ production and delivery. In addition, a supplier relationship model is constructed to evaluate the cooperative relationship in a two-way way. The purpose of monitoring suppliers’ performance is to develop suppliers’ risks and guide suppliers to improve and upgrade. If the supplier is rated as high risk, it will be stopped.On the other hand, suppliers are regularly invited to evaluate automobile enterprises, mainly through high-level seminars and questionnaires. The purpose is to force the management of automobile enterprises. It is necessary to improve a management level of informatization, which must be supported by the level of informatization.

  In 2011, Changan Automobile cooperated with Oracle Bone Inscriptions Company to realize an online management of the whole process of supplier access, selection and elimination. It not only improves the efficiency of supplier management, but also makes the procurement process more open and transparent. Implement a two-way management system of supplier relationship to support the rapid development of enterprises in many aspects. First, the ability of suppliers has been rapidly improved, from meeting the needs of our maintenance cars and economical cars to meeting the development of middle and high-class cars, supporting Changan Automobile to go out of Chongqing and lay out the strategy of the whole country. Second, the quality of our spare parts has increased at an average annual rate of 50%, which has greatly improved the quality of the whole vehicle. At present, the quality level of some models has reached or even surpassed that of the same class of cars.

  Third, while ensuring the product quality, we should strictly control the continuous optimization of material cost and give full play to the leverage of purchasing, so that the profitability of China brand has been significantly improved. Since 2012, the supplier’s satisfaction with Changan Automobile has increased by 20% for three consecutive years, which has laid a solid foundation for the long-term development of China brand. With the arrival of big data, new energy and mobile internet, the individual needs of customers and the upgrading of products have brought more challenges to supply management. Customer-oriented, greatly improving the response speed and customer experience will be the next goal of supply chain management. Continuously improving the cooperative relationship with suppliers and forming a virtuous circle will surely make China brand cars become world-class at an early date. Welcome friends to know about Chang ‘an, enter Chang ‘an, and go hand in hand with Chang ‘an for win-win development. Thank you for your trip to Chang ‘an.

The second-hand recycling platform loves recycling, perhaps one of them. The Spring Festival in 2020 seems to be a watershed, which has changed many people and may also change the fate of many enterprises in the future. On January 9, 2020, Hurun Research Institute released "2019 Hurun China Top 500 Private Enterprises", ranking 468 th in love recycling; However, before the Spring Festival, there were rumors that Zheng Fujiang, a recycling partner, left his job and his cash flow was tight.

  Zheng Yujiang, president of Chuanai Recycling, left?


  



  Has Zheng Fujiang retired from his job? GPLP Rhino Finance hereby calls itself for verification, but it is denied by the other party, and no further explanation is given. So what’s going on inside employees and in the investment circle? Judging from the information collected so far, everything is not groundless. On February 11th, 2020, on the platform of Love Recycling Enterprise-"Love Recycling Fresh Release" WeChat, an article called "Let’s Work Hard"
The article "Walking Against the Wind-Opening Meeting and Headlines of Love Recycling" shows that Chen Xuefeng, founder and &CEO of Love Recycling, and Wang Yongliang, partner and co-president of Love Recycling, all delivered relevant speeches, but only Zheng Fujiang was missing.




  On January 22nd, GPLP Rhino Finance didn’t find Zheng Fujiang to speak in the annual meeting of Love Recycling.



  There are indications that, as an important member of the recycling-loving senior management, even though Zheng Fujiang denied that he didn’t leave his job and love recycling, something may have happened inside this startup. According to public information, in the first half of 2016, Zheng Fujiang, a former CMO of Huawei China District, joined Airecycling. In the past four years, he has made great contributions to the expansion of Airecycling and has been loved by many internal employees. "Its internal prestige is very high," disclosed by people in the investment circle who have been in contact with recycling. It is reported that after joining Love Recycling, Zheng Fujiang once built an offline cooperation channel network of Love Recycling. According to public information, during Zheng Yujiang’s four years of love recycling, love recycling has 300 direct stores in the core business districts of first-tier cities, and besides direct stores, love recycling also has seven operation centers including Hong Kong, Shanghai, Changzhou, Chengdu and Wuhan, with a total operating area of over 40,000 square meters. According to the data released by Love Recycling, the company actually has more than 600 stores and thousands of employees in the country, with more than 1,000 employees only at the peak of the staff. It can be said that it is Zheng Fujiang’s joining that makes love recycling have the offline leg. Is it leaving now, or is it gradually fading out? Or just the job responsibilities have been adjusted? Regarding the follow-up developments, GPLP Rhino Finance will continue to pay attention.


  Love recycling, tight cash flow?


  An unexpected event after the Spring Festival in 2020 really surprised everyone. Similarly, this also includes love recycling. In this regard, in the internal enterprise platform of Love Recycling, "Love Recycling Fresh Release" is about "Gathering Hard Work"
In the WeChat of Walking Against the Wind, Chen Xuefeng, the founder and &CEO of Airecycling, said that "to live is to be strong", and the goal of Airecycling Q2 is to approach the break-even point of the group and achieve full profit in the second half of the year.



  At the same time, Chen Xuefeng also said, "In the face of cruel figures and reality, we must make worse plans." "We carefully predict that at least in the next 3-6 months, all walks of life will face a crisis of life and death, which is far more severe than Sars in 2003. Then, can love recycling survive this life-and-death crisis and cruel figures and reality, as executives say, "live"? This will test the cash flow of love recycling. However, regarding the cash flow of recycling, it seems that it is not optimistic from the current information of all parties.


  According to its employees who broke the news on social platforms, as of February 19, 2020, Love Recycling has not issued its five insurances and one gold to employees in January. Is this true? At present, its official has not responded. However, before it gives the goal of achieving breakeven in Q2, GPLP Rhino Finance can judge that the current love recycling has not achieved breakeven and is obviously at a loss, and the current operation should mainly rely on financing. In this regard, in "Let’s work hard"
In the article "Walking Against the Wind", Chen Xuefeng, the founder & &CEO of Love Recycling, also publicly stated, "Last Friday, we had clearly won the strong support of JD.COM for the first time. Therefore, there is a big tree behind JD.COM. What are we panicking about?" However, can investment institutions solve the problems of enterprises and various cash flows? I’m afraid this is a bit difficult. On June 3, 2019, Airecycling announced that JD.COM Group General Airecycling had a new round of financing and strategic integration transactions of more than 500 million US dollars, and the two sides had reached a final agreement. According to the official website announcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States, JD.COM Group actually invested nearly $20 million in cash for the investment that loves recycling. Now, according to June 2019, seven months have passed. So, how much money is there in the unfunded love recycling account? Can this cash support Airecycling more than 600 offline stores and thousands of employees to survive Q1 or Q2 in early 2020? This is a problem. If the cost of employees can be controlled by layoffs that have been reported before, in front of more than 600 offline stores, it is obviously difficult to control cash flow. Just like Xinchao Media, which started to lay off employees in 2020, even though there is still 1 billion yuan in cash in its account, at the staff meeting on the first day of work, Xinchao Media announced that it would lay off 500 employees, accounting for 10% of the total number of employees, and the senior management collectively reduced their salary by 20%. So, how will love recycling spend this cash flow problem?Will love recycling save itself by cutting off the closing of offline stores and reducing wages and layoffs? I’m afraid only love recycling is clear inside. However, as of press time, the inquiry request of GPLP Rhino Finance has not been answered. In addition to cash, this sudden epidemic has actually brought thinking to startups. Does the blind expansion of offline stores conform to the strength of the enterprise itself? Put the hope of survival on the investor’s thigh, and how much continuous blood transfusion can you get when the capital market is getting colder? Put the hope of living in the hands of others, how long can you last without online traffic that can make your own decisions?


  "God helps those who help themselves"


  Whether love recycling can survive hundreds of offline stores safely, and the dilemma of "stopping" and lack of traffic caused by the serious lack of passenger flow at present is obviously a very big test for it in 2020.


  The reason is not unrelated to its rapid expansion for many years, so both cash flow and its management, including its operation mode, are worthy of reflection.


  Perhaps, love recycling has found problems and started to adjust, so the news of personnel changes came out.


  In addition, this emergency has also taught more enterprises the most important lesson, that is, don’t be blindly optimistic, don’t be overly obsessed with the satisfaction brought about by expansion, and must have a clear understanding of their own capabilities; At the same time, it is very important to pay attention to cash flow management.


  Regarding the importance of cash flow, Allen Zhu, a partner of Jinshajiang Venture Capital, said on February 2, 2020, "When I was still starting a business in SARS in 2003, the management only took the basic living expenses that year, and the salary was reissued after the balance at the end of the year. This year is more severe than SARS, which is a matter of life and death for many start-ups. We must strictly control the cost and keep the cash for at least 6 months, preferably 12 months, assuming that there is no income. According to this, we can calculate the cost. Live on your knees, and it will be spring in the past! "


  Allen Zhu also said, "After the epidemic, it will take two or three months for the enterprise to recover its operational data, and it will take another two or three months for it to raise funds after data recovery, so it may take four to six months from the end of the epidemic to getting the money. Entrepreneurs must prepare for the worst, and their income will be less in the first half of the year. They must make the most conservative plan and control cash. "


  However, it is difficult to change the matter of controlling cash in a short time. Especially when sudden events bring difficulties to a large number of offline-oriented enterprises, how much time will be left to the decision makers of enterprises? After all, the rent of 600 stores and the salary of thousands of employees are already extremely high.

Development and Reform Commission: The car guidance price is implemented by most dealers or will be recognized as a monopoly.

  BEIJING, March 23 (Xinhua) According to the official website news of the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Development and Reform Commission and relevant departments have studied and drafted the Anti-monopoly Guide on the Automobile Industry (draft for comments), which is now open to the public for comments.

  The Opinions define the concepts of automobiles and automobile manufacturers, distribution markets and after-sales markets, and clarify the prohibition and exemption of monopoly agreements.

  According to the Opinions, the suggested price, guided price or maximum price set by automobile suppliers for reselling automobiles and automobile after-sales accessories and supplies to dealers and repairers, and the suggested price, guided price or maximum price set for after-sales service working hours to dealers and repairers usually have efficiency effects. If, due to the pressure or encouragement of one party to the agreement, the suggested price, the guided price or the highest price are executed by most or all dealers, and the substantial effect is equivalent to the fixed resale price or the minimum resale price, these behaviors may be identified as fixed resale price or the minimum resale price according to the specific circumstances of each case.

  The National Development and Reform Commission said that the time for public consultation was from March 23, 2016 to April 12, 2016. Relevant units and people from all walks of life can log on to the "Anti-monopoly" column of the website of the National Development and Reform Commission (http://www.ndrc.gov.cn) Price Supervision Bureau Sub-station (http://jjs.ndrc.gov.cn/), click "Anti-monopoly Guide on the Automobile Industry (Draft for Comment)", put forward opinions and suggestions on the Guide, and send them to the National Development and Reform Commission (Price Supervision Bureau).

  Anti-monopoly guide on automobile industry

  (Draft for Comment)

  (March 2016)

  I. General principles

  Automobile industry is an important pillar industry of national economy, which plays an important role in promoting economic growth, technological innovation, employment and social development. In order to prevent and stop the monopolistic behavior of the automobile industry, reduce the cost of administrative law enforcement and operator compliance, promote scientific and effective anti-monopoly supervision, protect fair competition, safeguard consumer interests and social public interests, and promote the healthy development of the automobile industry, this guide is formulated in accordance with the Anti-monopoly Law of the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the Anti-monopoly Law).

  (A) Concept definition

  1. Automobile refers to a vehicle driven or towed by power and having four or more wheels, which is used for carrying people and/or goods, towing people and/or goods, and for special purposes. It can be divided into two categories: passenger cars and commercial vehicles. For further classification of passenger cars and commercial vehicles, please refer to the relevant national standards (GB/T3730.1-2001 Terms and Definitions of Types of Cars and Trailers).

  2. New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use new power systems and are driven entirely or mainly by new energy sources, mainly including pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles.

  3. Second-hand cars refer to cars that have been traded and transferred ownership from the completion of registration procedures to the national compulsory scrapping standards.

  4. Automobile suppliers refer to operators who provide automobiles, after-sales accessories and supplies, including:

  (1) automobile manufacturers;

  (2) The general automobile dealer established or authorized by the automobile manufacturer;

  (3) Automobile importers engaged in automobile wholesale business.

  5. Spare parts suppliers refer to operators who produce or provide automobile parts for initial assembly and after-sales parts.

  6. Automobile dealers refer to operators who engage in automobile distribution and service independently of automobile suppliers. In practice, car dealers can assume the role of car repairers at the same time, but car sales and after-sales service can also be separated from each other.

  7. Automobile repairers refer to operators who provide automobile repair and maintenance services.

  8. End users, as far as automobiles are concerned, refer to the owners of automobiles (subject to the motor vehicle registration certificate) and other persons who have the legal right to use automobiles (such as automobile lessees). As far as after-sales automobile accessories and supplies are concerned, it includes: (1) the owner of the motor vehicle who purchased these products and other people who have the legal right to use the automobile; (2) Repairers who use these products for repair rather than resale.

  9. Auto parts are classified according to the standards of use, brand, supply channel and quality, including initial parts, double standard parts, after-sales parts, original parts and homogeneous parts.

  (1) Initial assembly parts refer to the parts used to produce and assemble new cars.

  (2) Double-label parts refer to the initial assembly parts and after-sales parts marked with the trademarks, logos and part codes of the automobile manufacturer and the parts manufacturer.

  (3) After-sale accessories refer to products installed in automobiles to replace the parts initially installed in automobiles, including lubricants necessary for automobiles, but excluding fuel.

  (4) Original spare parts refer to after-sales spare parts provided by automobile suppliers or third parties designated by automobile suppliers, which are manufactured according to the specifications and product standards of automobile parts initially installed by using automobile suppliers’ brands or brands designated by automobile suppliers.

  (5) Homogeneous parts, also known as parts with equivalent quality, refer to after-sales parts that have obtained relevant certification and the quality is not lower than that of automobile parts initially installed, but do not include original parts.

  10. Maintenance technical information refers to the technical information necessary for automobile diagnosis, testing and maintenance in order to maintain or restore the technical condition and working ability of the automobile when it leaves the factory, prolong the service life of the automobile and ensure that the automobile meets the requirements of safe and environmentally friendly use.

  (2) Definition of relevant markets

  The automobile industry has a long industrial chain and various business types in the upper, middle and lower reaches. The definition of relevant commodity markets and regional markets follows the general principles and methods defined in the Anti-monopoly Law and the Guide of the State Council Anti-monopoly Committee on Defining Relevant Markets, and at the same time, the characteristics of the automobile industry and the specific circumstances of individual cases are considered.

  The basic basis for defining the relevant market of the automobile industry is substitution analysis. In a case, the demand substitution is firstly investigated, and then the supply substitution is investigated. For example, automobile distribution consists of two parts: wholesale and retail. Wholesale is for automobile suppliers and retail is for end users. According to the specific circumstances of the case, it may be necessary to define automobile wholesale and retail as subdivided related markets respectively; The automobile distribution market can be further subdivided from the perspective of supply substitution and demand substitution.

  The automobile after-sales market can be further subdivided into after-sales parts distribution market and after-sales maintenance market. In the automobile after-sales market, the after-sales maintenance service of a specific brand and model requires the use of after-sales accessories suitable for the brand and model, based on the maintenance technical information of the specific brand and model. From the perspective of demand substitution and supply substitution, the compatibility and locking effect of automobile aftermarket exist objectively, so automobile brand has become an important related factor to be considered when defining automobile aftermarket.

  Second, the monopoly agreement

  (1) Prohibition and exemption of monopoly agreements

  1. Basic provisions of the Anti-Monopoly Law

  Article 13 of the Anti-Monopoly Law prohibits horizontal monopoly agreements, article 14 prohibits vertical monopoly agreements, and article 15 stipulates the exemption situations and conditions of monopoly agreements. According to Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law, if an operator claims that Article 13 or Article 14 of the Anti-Monopoly Law does not apply to his agreement, he must first prove that his agreement belongs to one of the circumstances listed in Article 15. Secondly, in addition to "to protect the legitimate interests in foreign trade and foreign economic cooperation" and "other circumstances stipulated by law and the State Council", the operator should also prove that his agreement will not seriously restrict the competition in the relevant market and enable consumers to share the benefits arising therefrom.

  In order to prove that its agreement will not seriously restrict the competition in the relevant market, the operator can evaluate its market power in the relevant market. To evaluate the market power of operators, we can refer to the factors listed in Article 18 of the Anti-Monopoly Law. Evaluating whether an agreement can enable consumers to share the resulting benefits can be investigated from the perspectives of price reduction, quality improvement, technological innovation, technological upgrading, and more choices of products and services.

  The specific procedures for operators to apply Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law to claim exemption from monopoly agreements shall be stipulated separately by the relevant guidelines of the State Council Anti-Monopoly Committee.

  2. Presumptive immunity

  In order to reduce the cost of administrative law enforcement and the compliance cost of operators, this guide lists some situations of geographical restrictions and customer restrictions set by operators who do not have significant market power, and it can be inferred that the provisions of Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law are applicable. Law enforcement practice and theoretical research have proved that these situations can usually improve the quality of distribution services, improve distribution efficiency, enhance the operating efficiency and competitiveness of small and medium-sized dealers, generally do not seriously restrict the competition in relevant markets, and enable consumers to share the benefits arising therefrom, thus meeting the conditions stipulated in Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law.

  It is not necessarily reasonable, scientific and operable to set a fixed market share standard to evaluate whether operators have significant market power. However, taking the competition evaluation of vertical agreements as an example, law enforcement practice and theoretical research show that it accounts for 25%— Operators with a market share below 30% may be considered as having no significant market power.

  However, according to the specific circumstances of a case, if there is evidence to prove that the operator’s behavior does not conform to the provisions of Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law, the anti-monopoly law enforcement agency can still apply Article 14 of the Anti-Monopoly Law to the relevant behavior.

  3. Case exemption

  In addition to the situations listed in this Guide where Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law can be presumed to be applicable, if an operator claims that Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law can be applied to his agreement, he needs to prove that his agreement meets the statutory conditions of Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law according to the specific circumstances of each case, and judge whether his agreement can be exempted from each case.

  (2) Horizontal monopoly agreement of automobile industry

  1. Some types of horizontal agreements, such as research and development agreements, specialization agreements, technical standardization agreements, joint production agreements, joint procurement agreements, etc., can usually improve efficiency and promote competition, which is conducive to increasing consumer welfare. For example, horizontal cooperation agreements in the R&D and production of new energy vehicles can enable competitors to share investment risks, improve efficiency and promote social public interests. Therefore, the automobile business operators who have reached the aforementioned horizontal agreements that can improve efficiency and promote competition can prove that the provisions of Article 13 of the Anti-Monopoly Law are not applicable to their agreements according to Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law.

  2. Regarding the competition analysis of horizontal monopoly agreements, there is no significant difference between the automobile industry and other industries, so this guide will not further refine it. The anti-monopoly regulation of horizontal monopoly agreements in the automobile industry shall be handled by the anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies in the State Council according to the Anti-monopoly Law, the Provisions on Anti-price Monopoly, and the Provisions on Prohibition of Monopoly Agreements by the Administrative Law Enforcement Agencies for Industry and Commerce.

  (3) Vertical monopoly agreement of automobile industry

  1. The form of the agreement and the cumulative effect of similar agreements.

  In practice, vertical agreements can be expressed as direct restrictions, such as the resale price of dealers stipulated in the contract terms; It can also be manifested as indirect restrictions, such as fixing the profit rate and discount level of dealers, canceling rebates, refusing to supply or canceling the authorization agreement in advance for dealers who do not comply with the suggested price through price monitoring.

  In China automobile market, vertical agreements are mainly embodied in dealer agreements, and may also be reached through commercial policies, circulars, information and notices. Anti-monopoly law pays attention to the effect of behavior rather than the form, and the key to evaluate monopoly behavior is the actual effect of restricting competition. According to its competitive effect, unilateral acts in the form of business policies may be recognized as constituting a vertical monopoly agreement regulated by the Anti-Monopoly Law.

  Usually, the implementation of vertical agreements by a single operator will limit intra-brand competition and harm the interests of consumers. In particular, when most or even all operators in the relevant market adopt similar vertical agreements, and all kinds of vertical restrictions in the agreements form a network, covering the relevant markets in an all-round way, the binding force of inter-brand competition will be obviously weakened. The cumulative effect caused by similar vertical agreements can significantly limit the competition in related markets, make related products and services priced above the competitive level, and ultimately lead to the loss of consumer welfare.

  2. Fixed resale price and limited minimum resale price

  Article 14 of the Anti-Monopoly Law explicitly prohibits the fixed resale price and the limited minimum resale price with obvious competitive effect. The negative effects of vertical price restrictions are mainly manifested in maintaining high prices, promoting horizontal and vertical collusion, weakening inter-brand competition and intra-brand competition, and excluding competitors.

  Of course, according to the principle of case analysis, if the operator can prove that these price restrictions will not seriously restrict the competition in the relevant market and enable consumers to share the benefits arising therefrom, the operator can claim case exemption for the fixed resale price and the limited minimum resale price according to Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law.

  In practice, the common situations in which automobile industry operators advocate the vertical price restriction of case exemption based on Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law include:

  (1) Fixed resale price and limited minimum resale price during the promotion period of new energy vehicles.

  In order to save energy, protect the environment and avoid "service hitchhiking", during the promotion period of new energy vehicles, it is necessary to fix the resale price and limit the minimum resale price in a short period (for example, within 9 months from the date when the automobile supplier issues the first batch invoice for a specific vehicle) to encourage dealers to promote new energy products, increase sales efforts and expand the market demand for new products, thus promoting the successful listing of new products and giving consumers more choices.

  (2) resale price limit in the sales of dealers who only assume the role of middlemen.

  Dealer sales, which only assume the role of middleman, refers to the sales of car suppliers and specific third parties or specific end customers (such as employees of car suppliers and dealers, major customers, advertising and sponsors, etc.) through direct negotiation, and only through authorized dealers to complete the sales of car delivery, collection and invoicing. In these transactions, authorized dealers only play the role of middlemen to help complete the transactions, which is different from full-fledged dealers.

  (3) resale price restrictions in government procurement

  In practice, government procurement projects usually require automobile suppliers participating in joint bid to provide consistent or fixed retail price quotations after coordination with their dealers. For nationwide procurement projects, government procurement departments sometimes directly contact automobile suppliers, who have no direct sales or retail licenses and need to reach an agreement with specific dealers on retail prices in order to realize their quotations for government procurement. Similar to dealer sales that only assume the role of middleman, dealers in government procurement are different from dealers in full sense if they only assist in completing the transaction.

  (4) the resale price limit in e-commerce sales of automobile suppliers.

  The pricing behavior in e-commerce sales is governed by the Anti-Monopoly Law, the Anti-Price Monopoly Provisions and other laws and regulations. However, in practice, automobile suppliers sell cars at a uniform price for a certain period of time through e-commerce platforms, and directly reach a deal with unspecified end users, and only complete the sales of delivery, collection, invoicing and other trading links through dealers. In these e-commerce transactions, dealers only assume the role of middlemen to help complete the transaction, which is different from the dealers in full sense.

  3. Suggested price, guided price and limited maximum price

  It is usually efficient for automobile suppliers to set suggested prices, guided prices or maximum prices for reselling automobiles and automobile after-sales accessories and supplies to dealers and repairers, and to set suggested prices, guided prices or maximum prices for after-sales service working hours to dealers and repairers, and these behaviors generally do not exclude or restrict competition.

  However, if, due to the pressure or encouragement of one party to the agreement, the suggested price, the guided price or the highest price are executed by most or all dealers, and the substantial effect is equivalent to the fixed resale price or the minimum resale price, these behaviors may be identified as fixed resale price or the minimum resale price according to the specific circumstances of each case.

  4. Geographical restrictions and customer restrictions

  Geographical restriction means that the supplier promises to supply one or several dealers in a specific distribution area, and the dealers promise not to sell in other distribution areas. Customer restriction means that the supplier restricts the distributor to sell the goods only to specific customers or not.

  Geographical restrictions and customer restrictions may weaken intra-brand competition, divide the market and encourage price discrimination. Effective geographical restrictions and customer restrictions make it difficult for other distributors to obtain supplies, hinder the promotion of more efficient new distribution models, and keep the prices of goods and services at a high level. However, sometimes geographical restrictions and customer restrictions can also improve distribution efficiency. For example, when dealers need to make specific investments to protect and establish brand image, geographical restrictions can produce significant efficiency.

  (1) The geographical restrictions and customer restrictions set by automobile operators who do not have significant market power are efficient and justified, and can usually meet the provisions of Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law, which can be applied. The foregoing situations mainly include:

  It is agreed that the distributor will only conduct distribution activities in its business premises, but it will not restrict the passive sales of the distributor or cross-supply between distributors.

  Passive sales refer to the delivery of goods or services to individual customers at their request without active marketing. For example, the behavior of consumers in a place to buy a car in b place is the passive sales of dealers.

  Compared with traditional sales methods, e-commerce sales are aimed at a wider and more diverse customer base. If a customer browses the dealer’s website or the third party’s website and contacts the dealer, and the contact leads to a sales transaction, the sales will be regarded as passive sales. For the information sent by the distributor to an unspecified audience through its own or third-party website, if the customer actively chooses to accept it (for example, subscribing to the promotion information of the distributor online) and actively contacts the distributor to generate a sales transaction, the transaction will be regarded as the passive sales of the distributor. However, if the distributor sends out advertisements or promotional information to a specific audience, such acts will constitute active sales.

  Restrict dealers from actively selling exclusive territory or exclusive customers reserved by automobile suppliers for another dealer.

  Restrict wholesalers from selling directly to end users.

  In order to prevent accessories from being used by customers to produce the same products as automobile suppliers, dealers are restricted from selling accessories to such customers.

  It is not necessarily reasonable, scientific and operable to set a fixed market share standard for evaluating the market power of operators. However, taking the competition evaluation of vertical agreements as an example, law enforcement practice and theoretical research show that operators who occupy less than 25%-30% of the relevant market share may be considered as having no significant market power.

  (2) The following four types of geographical restrictions and customer restrictions can usually severely restrict competition, lead to high prices and reduce consumers’ choices, so the provisions of Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law cannot be directly applied. Automobile business operators who engage in the following acts may claim individual exemption if they can prove that their acts conform to the provisions of Article 15 of the Anti-Monopoly Law.

  Restrict the passive sales of dealers.

  Restrict cross-supply between dealers.

  Restrict dealers and repairers from selling accessories needed for automobile maintenance services to end users.

  Except in the case of OEM agreement, automobile manufacturers reach an agreement with suppliers of accessories, repair tools, testing instruments or other equipment to restrict such suppliers from selling relevant accessories, repair tools, testing instruments or other equipment to dealers, repairers or end users. For the determination of the OEM agreement, please refer to Appendix (1) of this Guide.

  5. Indirect vertical restrictions are imposed on after-sales maintenance services and parts circulation through warranty clauses.

  For the maintenance work and replacement parts within the warranty scope, the automobile supplier usually requires the automobile end user to use the original parts in the authorized maintenance network to complete the maintenance work. However, by indirectly imposing unreasonable vertical restrictions on after-sales service and after-sales parts circulation through warranty clauses, independent repairers can be excluded, parts supply and distribution channels can be reduced, and finally the price of automobile maintenance services can be increased.

  The unreasonable vertical restrictions mentioned above include but are not limited to:

  (1) As a condition for the automobile supplier to fulfill the warranty responsibility, the automobile supplier shall hand over all the maintenance work that is not covered by the warranty by the automobile end user to the authorized maintenance network;

  (2) For after-sales parts that are not covered by the warranty, the automobile supplier requires to use the original parts as a condition for fulfilling the warranty responsibility;

  (3) Automobile suppliers have no justifiable reason to restrict their maintenance network to provide after-sales maintenance services for parallel imported cars.

  6. Other vertical restrictions on the ability of dealers and repairers to sell and serve.

  The following vertical restrictions imposed by automobile suppliers through agreements and business policies may improperly restrict the sales and service capabilities of dealers and repairers. If they lead to significant elimination and restriction of competition, increase the price of automobile distribution and maintenance channels and harm the interests of consumers, the relevant agreements and business policies may be recognized as vertical monopoly agreements regulated by the Anti-Monopoly Law.

  (1) The automobile supplier forces the dealers or repairers to tie up the cars, after-sales parts, fine products, consumables, repair tools, testing instruments, etc. that they have not ordered.

  Tying by suppliers to distributors is a vertical restriction, which may lead to exclusive purchase obligation of tying products, thus excluding competition in tying products market.

  (2) Automobile suppliers force dealers or repairers to accept unreasonable sales targets, inventory varieties and quantities of automobiles or after-sales parts.

  Suppliers and distributors can agree on the sales target, inventory variety and quantity of contract products through equal consultation. However, suppliers unilaterally set and force dealers to accept unreasonable sales targets, inventory varieties and quantities, which may lead dealers to assume exclusive purchase obligations of contract products, thus excluding competition in relevant markets.

  (3) The automobile supplier compels the dealer to bear the expenses of advertising, auto show and other publicity in the name of the automobile supplier, or compels the dealer to carry out advertising at his own expense in a specific way and in a specific media.

  Automobile suppliers usually agree with dealers to participate in joint promotion and marketing activities and ask dealers to share reasonable expenses. In addition, in order to ensure the overall effect of brand promotion, automobile suppliers usually set reasonable quality standards for dealers to select media. However, forcing dealers to bear the promotion expenses in the name of automobile suppliers, or restricting the specific ways and media for dealers to carry out advertising, may unduly limit dealers’ ability to decide their own promotion and marketing activities, indirectly increase the cost of distribution and after-sales channels, and ultimately increase the burden on consumers.

  (4) Automobile suppliers restrict dealers and repairers to use only the services of specific paid design units or construction units, or restrict dealers and repairers to use only specific brands, suppliers and supply channels for building materials, general equipment, information management systems and office facilities.

  In order to ensure the brand image, automobile suppliers usually stipulate or stipulate quality standards for the design, decoration and office facilities of dealers and repairers’ business premises through agreements or business policies. In addition, based on the consideration of intellectual property protection, automobile suppliers usually specify the procurement channels of their automobile brand logos. However, it is usually not necessary to restrict the design of business premises and office facilities to specific third-party brands, suppliers and supply channels to ensure the brand image of automobiles. Such restrictions may unduly restrict the competition in relevant markets and indirectly increase the cost of distribution and after-sales channels.

  (5) When the automobile supplier refuses to supply or terminates the distribution agreement in advance, it shall clearly list the reasons.

  In order to prevent automobile suppliers from refusing to supply to dealers or terminating the distribution agreement in advance without justifiable reasons, such as refusing to implement the minimum resale price set by automobile suppliers, purchasing original parts and homogeneous parts from channels other than automobile suppliers for after-sales maintenance, etc., the notice of automobile suppliers refusing to supply or terminating the distribution agreement in advance shall clearly list the reasons.

  Iii. Abuse of dominant market position

  Article 17 of the Anti-Monopoly Law prohibits the abuse of market dominance, including unfair high prices and low prices, as well as selling goods below the cost price without justifiable reasons, refusing to trade, restricting trading, tying and attaching other unreasonable trading conditions, and differential treatment.

  At present, the competition in China’s new car sales market is fierce, but the lock-in effect and compatibility problems in the after-sales market may limit and weaken the effective competition in the after-sales market and harm the interests of consumers. In defining the automobile aftermarket in a case, automobile brand is an important related factor to be considered. According to the definition of market dominance in Article 17 of the Anti-Monopoly Law and the factors that should be based on in Article 18 of the Anti-Monopoly Law, automobile suppliers who do not have a dominant position in the new car sales market may be identified as having a dominant position in the after-sales market of their brand cars.

  (A) after-sales parts production

  Except for the parts produced according to the OEM agreement, the automobile manufacturers that have a dominant position in the after-sales market of their brand cars should not restrict the production of "double-labeled parts" for the accessory manufacturers that initially installed automobiles without justifiable reasons. That is to say, automobile manufacturers should not reach an agreement with the parts manufacturers who provide them with initial parts, and prohibit the latter from affixing their own trademarks, logos and part codes on the initial parts of automobiles. Double standard parts aim to improve the ability of consumers and repairers to identify homogeneous parts and promote effective competition in the automotive aftermarket.

  For the determination of the OEM agreement, please refer to Appendix (1) of this Guide.

  (2) Supply and circulation of after-sales parts

  Automobile manufacturers that have a dominant position in the after-sales market of their brand cars should not restrict the supply and circulation of after-sales parts without justifiable reasons, including:

  1. Restrict dealers and repairers from purchasing after-sales parts, that is, restrict dealers and repairers from purchasing homogeneous parts or original parts (including parallel imported parts) from other channels.

  Suppliers who do not have a dominant market position set exclusive purchase obligations for their distribution channels for a certain period, which can improve the quality standards of distribution networks, help to establish and maintain brand image, improve the attractiveness of brands to end consumers and increase sales. However, if there are obvious barriers to entry or expansion in the relevant market, the exclusive procurement obligation may block competitive suppliers, weaken the incentive mechanism for innovation, raise the price of goods in distribution channels and limit consumers’ choices.

  In practice, automobile suppliers, which have a dominant position in the after-sales market of their brand cars, impose unreasonable sales quantity targets, inventory varieties and quantities on dealers, which can usually substantially restrict dealers and repairers from purchasing accessories.

  However, automobile suppliers have the right to require their authorized system members to use only original and homogeneous parts, and to require their authorized system members to ensure consumers’ right to know and the traceability of parts. Automobile suppliers also have the right to claim that members of the authorization system can use remanufactured parts and recycled parts in maintenance work only when consumers know and clearly choose and ensure the traceability of accessories. The above situation does not affect the civil liability of authorized dealers, authorized repairers and parts suppliers.

  2. Restrict accessories suppliers, distributors and repairers from exporting after-sales accessories, including:

  (1) Except for the parts produced according to the OEM agreement, all parts are required to be "returned to the factory", that is, parts suppliers are restricted from supplying parts with their own brands to the after-sales channels;

  (2) Restrict the cross-supply of after-sales parts between dealers, between repairers and between dealers and repairers;

  (3) Restrict dealers and repairers from selling accessories needed for automobile maintenance services to end users.

  (3) Availability of maintenance technical information, test instruments and maintenance tools

  Automobile after-sales maintenance usually needs to be completed by qualified technicians based on the technical information of specific brands of automobiles. Automobile suppliers are usually the only source of all maintenance technical information of their brand cars. If the repairer can’t get the necessary technical information for testing, repairing and replacing automobile parts, the maintenance service it provides may lead to dangerous driving, high emissions and air pollution. At the same time, the market position of repairers is squeezed, which leads to the reduction of maintenance channels, the increase of automobile maintenance prices and the limited choice of consumers.

  Effective competition in the automobile after-sales market needs to ensure the availability of after-sales maintenance technical information, as well as the availability of test instruments and maintenance tools. Therefore, automobile suppliers that have a dominant position in the aftermarket of their brand automobiles should not restrict the availability of maintenance technical information, test instruments and maintenance tools without justifiable reasons, including:

  1. Restrict the rights and channels for the repairer to obtain the technical information of automobile maintenance of a specific brand;

  2. To reach an agreement with suppliers of repair tools, testing instruments or other equipment to restrict such suppliers from selling relevant repair tools, testing instruments or other equipment to dealers and repairers.

  Fourth, the concentration of operators

  The Anti-Monopoly Law prohibits business operators from implementing concentration that has or may have the effect of eliminating or restricting competition. There is no significant difference between the automobile industry and other industries in the competitive analysis of operator concentration.

  The anti-monopoly review on the concentration of automobile operators shall be handled by the anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies in the State Council according to the Anti-monopoly Law, the Interim Provisions on Evaluating the Impact of Concentration of Operators, the Provisions on Additional Restrictive Conditions for Concentration of Operators (for Trial Implementation) and other laws and regulations.

  In the anti-monopoly review of automobile operators, this guide explains and guides the automobile monopoly agreement and the abuse of market dominance, which is of reference significance for the anti-monopoly review of automobile operators.

  V. Abuse of administrative power to exclude or restrict competition

  The Anti-Monopoly Law prohibits administrative organs and organizations authorized by laws and regulations to manage public affairs from abusing administrative power to exclude or restrict competition.

  Abuse of administrative power to exclude or restrict competition in the automobile market shall be dealt with by the anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies in the State Council according to the Anti-monopoly Law, the Provisions on Anti-price Monopoly, and the Provisions of the Administration for Industry and Commerce on Stopping Abuse of Administrative Power to Exclude and Restrict Competition.

  Abuse of administrative power in automobile trading excludes and restricts competitive behavior, which hinders the healthy development of automobile market and harms consumers’ interests. For example, the abuse of administrative rights in second-hand car trading excludes and restricts competition, which is not conducive to green recycling consumption and the sustainable development of the automobile market. It also limits the rights and interests of car owners to dispose of property rights, prolongs the cycle of changing cars for consumers, and indirectly affects the new car sales market.

  Therefore, administrative organs and organizations authorized by laws and regulations to manage automobile circulation affairs should not violate the provisions of Chapter V of the Anti-Monopoly Law to exclude or restrict competition, including but not limited to:

  (a) to formulate regulations that restrict the access to the automobile market and the free circulation of automobiles;

  (2) Restricting or disguised restricting operators from operating automobile business by setting business opening conditions or qualification requirements with the effect of excluding and restricting competition;

  (3) Restricting or restricting in disguised form the purchase, lease and use of the automobile trading system, facilities and business premises provided by its designated operators;

  (four) the behavior of restricting the movement of used cars, that is, the second-hand cars must be traded at the place where the vehicles are registered;

  (five) to restrict the second-hand car trading, the invoice must be issued by the second-hand car trading market.

  VI. Supplementary Provisions

  (A) the identification of the OEM agreement

  OEM agreement, also known as entrustment processing agreement, agency processing contract, contracting contract and OEM processing contract in practice, means that the entrusting party provides the necessary technology and equipment for the entrusted party, and the entrusted party produces products, provides services or completes the work for the entrusting party.

  If the parts manufacturer uses the intellectual property rights of the automobile manufacturer to process the automobile parts according to the requirements of the automobile manufacturer, the relationship between the automobile manufacturer and the parts manufacturer is entrusted processing, and an OEM agreement is reached. There are significant differences between OEM agreement and parts supply agreement between parts manufacturers and automobile manufacturers who use their own intellectual property rights.

  Whether an agreement constitutes a real OEM agreement needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and it can be determined after evaluating the substantive content of the agreement, rather than directly according to the form of the agreement. In short, if the technology and equipment provided by the automobile manufacturer (the entrusting party) are necessary for the parts manufacturer (the entrusted party) to produce contract products or provide contract services under reasonable conditions according to the requirements of the automobile manufacturer, then the parts manufacturer’s identity is "OEM" and is not regarded as an independent parts supplier in the market.

  However, when an automobile manufacturer provides tools, intellectual property rights or know-how to an accessory manufacturer, if the accessory manufacturer already has such tools, intellectual property rights or know-how that can be used independently or can obtain such tools, intellectual property rights or know-how on reasonable terms, the technology and equipment of the automobile manufacturer are not necessary for the accessory manufacturer to perform the agreement. For example, if the automobile manufacturer only provides the general descriptive information of the contract products, but restricts the accessory manufacturer from supplying accessories to the aftermarket under its own brand name, the automobile manufacturer essentially deprives the accessory manufacturer of the possibility of expanding business in the areas related to the agreement, and excludes and restricts the competition in the relevant markets, which may lead to high prices and reduce consumers’ choices.

  Specific factors that can be considered in evaluating "technology or equipment necessary for producing contract products or providing contract services" include but are not limited to:

  1. Intellectual property rights owned or disposed of by the entrusting party, including: invention patents, utility models, copyrighted designs, registered designs or other intellectual property rights;

  2. Proprietary technologies such as production processes owned or disposed of by the entrusting party;

  3. Research reports, plans and other documents prepared by the entrusting party to match the information provided by it.

  (two) the entry into force, update and supplement of the guide

  This guide will be implemented on * * *. The Anti-monopoly Committee of the State Council will continue to investigate and evaluate the overall competition situation in China’s automobile market, and update and supplement this guide according to the development trend of China’s automobile industry.
