New hands! It's not that there are not enough parking spaces, but that Cao Wangde has not enough parking spaces!

Cao Wangde is happy with his new car again.

Recently, Cao, founder of Fuyao Group, welcomed Roewe iMAX8.

If you count the previous Red Flag L5, Weilai ES8 and BYD Han EV, this is the fourth brand-new car he likes to mention in the past two years.

Many people think that if "buy buy Buy" continues like this, will Cao's house have enough parking spaces?

Of course, this is a joke. We don't know if there are enough parking spaces in Cao's house. But for car companies, a Cao is obviously not enough.

After all, it is nothing new for car companies that well-known entrepreneurs bring their own goods, but it is rare for well-known entrepreneurs like Cao to go out of the circle and bring their own traffic.

However, many people are questioning Cao.

As a well-known "glass king", Cao's Fuyao glass has always been a partner of many mainstream car companies. In the eyes of many people, Cao came out to buy a car platform just for show, in order to sell more of his own glass. So, is Cao Wangde really doing this to sell more glass?

(1) ranks first in the world, and Cao really doesn't pick up cars and sell glass.

Although Cao's Fuyao Glass is Party B, in fact, with the market share and technical level of Fuyao Glass in the segmentation field, it is obviously unnecessary to deliberately please the foundry to "sell goods".

According to public information, at present, the global market share of Fuyao glass automotive glass products is 26%, ranking first in the industry, and the domestic market share exceeds 65%, ranking first in the global automotive glass market share. In 20 19, the company sold automobile glass1090,000 square meters.

Luxury brands such as BBA and Cadillac are customers of Fuyao Glass. Moreover, Fuyao also has a variety of high value-added products, including HUD head-up display glass, insulating glass, hydrophobic glass, intelligent dimming glass, coated glass, ultraviolet insulating glass and so on.

Although the performance of Fuyao Glass has also declined under the influence of the epidemic this year, with the recovery of the domestic auto market, its production and sales began to pick up. According to the agency's forecast, the company's production and sales volume will continue to rise in the fourth quarter, and the gradual popularization of panoramic skylights in recent years is also conducive to Fuyao's business development.

Obviously, Cao's frequent "hi mention" is not to sell more glass. On the contrary, for car companies, Cao's arrival is a great encouragement for them to buy a car platform.

(2) generating electricity for love or "making friends"

Since Fuyao Glass "sells goods without worry", why is Cao Wangde frequently mentioned?

In Cao's own words, it is "famous".

Two years ago, when Cao became the first owner of the limited edition model of Hongqi L5, he once said:

"I like cars very much. If I really say what car I love, I can tell you that I have taken a Bentley borrowed by others, but I can't afford it. Then you must say, why did you buy such a good red flag? Actually, the car didn't come to my house, but it stopped in Shanghai. Then why buy it? Because FAW is my first customer, when Mr. Xu Liuping invited me to join, I couldn't be empty-handed. I'll buy you a car, that's all. "

When referring to BYD Korea EV, Cao also said that it was to "join in the fun", including the test drive of the previous flagship model of GAC Chuanqi, and also expressed his gratitude to GAC for becoming its first customer.

Just like Lao Luo's principle of "don't make money, make friends", for Cao, it is "don't sell glass, hold a show". Although the words are commonplace, they are also sincere.

Therefore, we don't have to "make a fuss" just because the glass is ready and we like to mention a new car. In the final analysis, it is still "reciprocity."

In addition, from the brand point of view, Cao also has his own selfishness in buying a car. Is to pick the China brand, especially the leader in this field.

Needless to say, BYD is the elder brother of new energy vehicle enterprises in China, Weilai is the representative of the new force of making cars, and SAIC Roewe is also a potential player with strong strength. This also fulfilled Cao Wangde's original intention of supporting domestic products, and it was a naked "power generation for love".

(3) Kung Fu is angry

Perhaps for Cao, buying a car is to "support" and love domestic products.

For car companies, they can kill two birds with one stone by buying a car with the "glass king" and establishing a stronger cooperative relationship with it.

However, for them, a Cao Wangde may not be enough.
