And our end-to-end AI model will enable us to rapidly advance our software and AI technology on a monthly basis. And we predict that by the end of 2025, we will be able to elevate the city road address experience to much that of the current highway MGP, which means only one manual takeover per hundreds of kilometers of driving. After we upgrade the technology architecture of smart driving to the end-to-end large model and start driving, we see that the domain of data and the value of data will be enlarged.
Message all the rules and then coding method, but this will be the right into the training of model and based on the algorithms. We aim to have X M. P.

Speaker Change #118: Just with T links.
Tim Hsiao: So my first question is about the revenue contribution from the collaboration with Volkswagen. Could management roughly quantify the contribution of service revenue from Volkswagen in the first quarters? And we know that it's recurring, so will it continue climbing quarter over quarter in the following months? Is there any chance that the revenue from the new agreements related to the e-architectures could also come through within the year? So that's my first question. Hi Tim, this is Charles.
Speaker Change #119: So my first question is bound to revenue contribution from the collaboration with Volkswagen.

So those who come to within the year. So that's my first question. Thank you.
Charles Zhang: So the platform software collaboration revenue from Volkswagen has been recorded in the service and other revenue in Q1. As you know, that it is recurring. So I think that going forward, every quarter, we will be able to book such platform software technical services revenue. So, in Q1, we booked multi-hundred million RMB platform software services revenue. And I think we believe that in the subsequent quarters, such revenue will be more than what we booked in Q1.
Unknown Executive: Hi, This is Charles.
Speaker Change #123: So the platform of software collaboration revenue from Volkswagen has been recorded in the service and other revenue in Q1.
Speaker Change #124: As you know that it is a recurring in nature, So I think that going forward.

Speaker Change #124: We booked a multi hundred million RMB.
Speaker Change #124: Platform and software services revenue.
Speaker Change #124: I think we believe that in the subsequent quarters.
Speaker Change #124: Such revenue won't be more than what we booked in Q1.
Charles Zhang: And so obviously, I think that given the nature of the platform and the software revenue, it is a very high-margin business for us. And we believe that with our vehicle sales business and also the platform and software technical services revenue, our company-level GP margin can be sustainable at a low to mid-teens GP margin percentage.
Speaker Change #124: So obviously I think that given the nature of the platform and the software revenue. It is very high margin business for us and we believe that with our vehicle on vehicle sales business and also the.
Speaker Change #124: And also as a platform and software and technical services revenue.
Speaker Change #124: Our company level GP margin can be sustainable at a low to mid teens GP margin percentage GP margin and therefore, I think that the we jump.
Charles Zhang: And therefore, I think that we have created a very unique business model in the auto industry. In addition to that, we will continue to deliver our cost reductions through technology and also the supply chain and further improve our vehicle GP margin to address your question regarding revenue from the EE architecture, and we expect that revenue from the EE architecture will start to be recognized in the second half.

So my second question is about Tom's writing, because we noticed that Xpeng is to leverage an end-to-end large model to upgrade XGEN-GP by the third quarter of this year to cover basically all roads in China and achieve level four vehicle autonomy next year. So to achieve that target, should we expect Xpeng to metaphorically increase R&D spending during the period? And when do you think such technological leadership can translate into upside to new car sales or potential monetization opportunities? That's my second question. Thank you.
Speaker Change #132: So my second question is down to Tom's Friday.
Speaker Change #133: As we noticed that the experience to leverage hinchey enlarge model to help create <unk> by third quarter of this year. Two covers basically over I was in China and with achieved a level four equally telling me next year.
Speaker Change #133: To achieve that target.
Speaker Change #134: Should we expect <unk> to meaningfully increase R&D spending during the period of time.
Speaker Change #135: And when do you think such a technological leadership can translate into upside to new car sales.
Speaker Change #136: <unk> monetization opportunity. That's my second question. Thank you.
Xiaopeng He: First of all, I would like to correct a statement that we hope to achieve the full L4 capabilities next year instead of achieving L4 capabilities this year because L4 itself requires hardware and needs to be repeated politically, and Xichang, the whole big model, Xichang It means that the people who are writing the rules are, , Therefore, the overall energy consumption did not increase significantly. [inaudible] I believe that it is very difficult to judge the acceleration of a large-scale model after its launch. I used to use numbers to write programs.
Speaker Change #137: A central theme, so far to the menu in children.
Speaker Change #138: With that I hopeful hopeful.
Speaker Change #139: In June she opens up hopefully to us.
Speaker Change #140: Fishing season.
Speaker Change #141: Something good establishing Seahawks.
Speaker Change #141: Sure.
Speaker Change #141: Sure. That's helpful just kind of October.
Speaker Change #141: Thoughts on controlling G H.
Speaker Change #142: And I thought she equated I know you mentioned that.
Speaker Change #143: Yeah Yeah.
Speaker Change #142: Yeah.
Speaker Change #142: Facial I'd say abortion.
Speaker Change #142: Since then.
Speaker Change #142: I know you guys have something there.
Speaker Change #144: And Josh I shouldn't say gondola he'll be back towards <unk>.
Speaker Change #145: What's you're asking.
Speaker Change #145: This is on top of it a quick non coupon done Dom Washington.
Speaker Change #146: Oh, okay.
Speaker Change #147: So you're jostled Belmont either she is Indonesia as what they bill Yeah, Harlan Nice youth initiatives.
Xiaopeng He: It's easier to make clear judgments. For example, I have more numbers, and I have more time, so I can do it. But the model is based on the ability of the data, the scale of the data, and the training. Thank you.
Speaker Change #147: It changed upon that piece or couldn't do what other noteworthy pintano should you as I'm sure you're watching cleanup.
Speaker Change #147: Most in the <unk>.
Speaker Change #147: Sure.
Speaker Change #147: Initially the claim organization yet.
Speaker Change #147: Pushing it.
Xiaopeng He: I think that in 2025. I originally thought that in the latter half of 2025, Autonomous Driving Ability will form a very strong trend. Now, after the big model, it is possible that this time will be accelerated. Thank you very much for your question.
Speaker Change #147: Without that no with I O <unk> know, what the unknown and okay hold on.
Speaker Change #147: And any questions that you got around the country and Chennai that published as a whole you will continue to sit down with teach them yet.
Speaker Change #147: Okay.
Speaker Change #147: Fantastic.
Xiaopeng He: And before I answer your question, there's one correction to make, which is that we hope to achieve the ability of L4 next year. However, we know that being able to actually implement that would also need the hardware as well as the rules and regulations to catch up. So that's point one.
Speaker Change #148: Thank you very much for your question Ian.
Speaker Change #149: I answer your question, there's a one collections in that you can have which is that we hope to achieve the ability of the S.
Speaker Change #149: Oh for next few Afghans out however, we know that are being able to actually implement that they would also need to have the hardware as well as the rules and regulations to catch up. So that's 0.1 and 0.2 with respect to the large models and we know that so AI like model, it's going to have.
Xiaopeng He: And point two, with respect to the large models, and we know that AI large models are going to have a huge impact on all the companies involved. And therefore, as we say in the past, in terms of the rules and regulations people have, those need to change, and the large models will actually generate these new rules. And thirdly, we don't actually need to increase our manpower at the moment, and we have about the same number of people working, and continue to work on globalization. In terms of how fast it's going to take or what the speed is going to be like, I would say that it's hard to say, and it's hard to quantify.
Speaker Change #149: So a huge impact on all of the companies are involved and therefore as we say in the past in terms of the rules and regulations people hub and those need to change and the large models will actually generate to these new rules and certainly we don't actually need to increase our one.
Speaker Change #149: At the moment and we have about the same amount of people working continue to work on globalization.
Speaker Change #149: In terms of how fast it's going to take or what the speed, it's going to be like I would say that it is hard to say, it's hard to quantify and the possible and we relied on the human powered and wouldn't be able to say how many people we would need how much time, we would need to partner with a large lotto model was and is about you know the.
Speaker Change #149: Scale, the algorithm and the speed of supply and my original thinking was that it is going to be the latter half of 2025, and now Wednesday constant development of that technology, and AI and I think that it would be older than 2025 are possible.
Xiaopeng He: And my original thinking was that it was going to be the latter half of 2025. And now, with the fast development of technology and AI, I think that it would be earlier than 2025, or possibly next year. So we'll wait and see. Your next question comes from Ming Li with Bank of America. Hello, Mr. Xiaopeng and all the audience members. I have two questions for you.
Speaker Change #149: The next year, so we'll wait and see.
Speaker Change #149: Okay.
Speaker Change #150: Your next question comes from Ming Li with Bank of America.
Yeah.
Speaker Change #151: Good morning.
Speaker Change #152: The mall was it being sooner.
When you go and Tina.
Ming Li: The first question is about the details of the car models in the future. For the third season of the Monarch Project, what will be the pace of the 2B and 2C cars? And then, can you tell us, because you mentioned that there will be at least one new car every season next year? Can you tell us how many cars will be the Xiaopeng model and how many will be the Monarch model? Let me translate my question first.
Speaker Change #153: When you took a Z.
So as you can but you shouldn't.
Speaker Change #153: Are you more concerned you should something not Matterhorn Disanti does do the project.
Speaker Change #153: Just to be certain to see too tied to the Oh no.
Speaker Change #153: No.
Speaker Change #154: And I'm Gonna Johnson charges.
Speaker Change #154: <unk> 2000.
Speaker Change #155: M a G W.
Speaker Change #156: Sequentially, so no coverage according to embargo.
Speaker Change #156: This will be useful to silicon choices.
Speaker Change #156: Hum.
Speaker Change #156:
Speaker Change #156: No not right now.
Speaker Change #157: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #158: So my first question is related to more details for you on new product pipeline. So in the second half you will have to pay down the first product related.
Ming Li: So, my first question is related to more details of your new product pipeline. So, in the second half, you will have two products. The first product is related to the Monarch Project. Could you give more details regarding the launch timing for the 2B version and also the 2C version? And for the next year's product pipeline, could you also give some guidance regarding the numbers for your Monarch brand product and also your Xpeng brand product? Thank you.
Speaker Change #158: Related to that project.
Speaker Change #158: So could you give more details regarding the lunch timing for that to be version and also to see version.
Speaker Change #158: For the next year, the product pipeline and could you also give us some some.
Speaker Change #158: Some guidance.
Speaker Change #158: Guidance regarding the numbers so for your mono branded product also.
Speaker Change #158: Sure.
Speaker Change #159: Shuffle It comes a brand product.
Speaker Change #158: Yes.
Speaker Change #158: Okay.
Xiaopeng He: First of all, I would like to explain that all of our models, our main customers are all 2C. In the field of 2B, there are a wide range of features, including Mola, including all of them. So when MOLA was first designed, Therefore, in the case of high-priced products, we do not think that it is beneficial in the 2B market. No more time.
Speaker Change #158: So if someone has told me and.
Speaker Change #158: Sure.
Speaker Change #158: Fishing woman.
Speaker Change #158: So vehicle, which had most of the placebo.
Speaker Change #158: That.
Speaker Change #158: Okay.
Speaker Change #158: Especially in Oklahoma.
Speaker Change #160: So what.
Speaker Change #160: What I'll tell you, Chris So Tito so Jessie J colliers.
Speaker Change #161: She searched please.
Speaker Change #161: Koreans, it's only tell me up along with how the Permian.
Speaker Change #162: Got it.
Speaker Change #162: Hum.
Xiaopeng He: Thank you. After the third quarter of this year, we will have different cars in different regions. Some quarters will have more cars, and some quarters will only have modified cars. At the same time, from March 2024 to 2026, we will continue to have relevant activities. , [inaudible] Xie Maopai, And for MONA, this brand, and as we say, because that's what we are looking at is building this to be the most beautiful and aesthetic cars out there in the market.
Speaker Change #162: <unk> genius and it all just whole women's I'd put on that you put up with Honda.
Speaker Change #162: Youll digital weighted towards general color.
Speaker Change #162: What you gave on terrorism.
Speaker Change #162: I'm not sure what to say so.
Speaker Change #162: So then essentially an annuity.
Speaker Change #162: Okay.
Speaker Change #163: Jean Michel quantification.
Speaker Change #163: According to <unk>.
Speaker Change #163: That's really difficult for me to touch on.
Speaker Change #163: That's one life insurance <unk>.
Speaker Change #163: <unk>.
Speaker Change #164: How about it.
Speaker Change #165: Thank you.
Speaker Change #166: Jim Hawaii, Kentucky.
Speaker Change #167: Thank you for your question and first.
Speaker Change #168: First of all in terms of all our car models and the mainstream offer that we bring to the market. It would still be for that to see market at the end it could be market. There is not really our focus including Mona and mono brand and as we say because Scott so what we.
Speaker Change #168: We're looking at is converting those are two of the most beautiful in a second cards out there in the market. So therefore, we do not really see that having too much I'd say the.
Speaker Change #168: Penetration penetration rate into the <unk> market and then secondly, starting from Q3. This year following onward in each different quarters that we will have a different car models are being launched in the market and there's some quarters, perhaps where there will be a few more different models and insertion.
Speaker Change #168: The quarter's that perhaps it will be simply an updated version of an existing model, where a mixed version model so to speak and starting from 2024 through 2020 six we will continue to roll out the different car models into the market and in terms of the specifics.
Xiaopeng He: Therefore, we do not really see this as having too much of a big penetration rate into the 2B market. And starting from 2024 to 2026, we will continue to roll out different car models into the market. And in terms of the specifics, I don't think that I'm in a position to release further details to the market at the moment. And our clients, as you have already heard in my previous presentation, MOLA will be Xiaopeng's series. We will come back next month to share our thoughts on MOLA with the Board of Directors. Today, I will repeat what I just said; MOLA has been a very good experience.
Speaker Change #169: Thank God.
Speaker Change #169: Im in a position to release a further details to the market at the moment.
Speaker Change #169: Our client that you have already heard in my previous presentation.
Speaker Change #170: No more surgical Murat places is sharleen, she had one shovel hit.
Speaker Change #170: Okay.
Speaker Change #171: A J this is.
Speaker Change #171: Contemplate ethane shown them all or some niche.
Speaker Change #171:
Speaker Change #171: Furthermore, our yoplait audience I told maturing portfolio.
Xiaopeng He: And we hope to have a good... [inaudible] Including the highest level of smart driving. So the price of the car is from the current price of more than RMB 200,000 to less than RMB 200,000. This is what we are doing. So the second part of my answer to your question and for the MONA series, and actually, going forward and next month, we will have more to share with the market in terms of our thinking about this And as I said before, for the MONA series, we are looking at building a car that is the most beautiful and the most aesthetic on the outside. And, in addition, we also hope that this is a car that will bring the company a good amount of profits. And it will also cover various grades of intelligent or autonomous driving.
Speaker Change #172: Nigel and Sharon Memorial Day, and then you put on page, but we'll take all that.
Speaker Change #171: Yes.
Speaker Change #171: Okay, let's see charts that neither channel harsher.
Speaker Change #171: So it's from general Dot Dot O, which is excellent.
Speaker Change #171: So chi.
Speaker Change #171: Yeah.
Speaker Change #171: So the second part of my answer to your question and we'll be Mona Lisa and well.
Speaker Change #171: Actually going forward as it warms up a next month, we will have more to share with the market in terms of how we're thinking about our business.
As I said before for more.
Speaker Change #171: Yeah.
Speaker Change #171: Looking at building a car that is the most beautiful and most aesthetic.
Speaker Change #171: On the externally and in addition, we also hope that this is a car that will bring the company good amount of our profits.
Speaker Change #171: Also cover various are great, but intelligent autonomous driving and we hope that in the past for autonomous driving it was mainly for the pause in the price range of above 200000, and with Mone at the Emmys and we hope to bring the autonomous driving into the car with a price range of 200.
Ming Li: And we hope that in the past, for autonomous driving, it was mainly for cars in the price range of above $200,000. With the MONA series, we hope to bring autonomous driving to cars with a price range of within $200,000. In terms of the overseas market, last week, Xiaopeng's brand officially entered Hong Kong. I know that it has recently entered many different countries.
Speaker Change #171: So all of that.
Speaker Change #171: Yeah.
Speaker Change #173: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #174: Hmm I suppose hung with it sounds so simple.
Speaker Change #175: Switching to Shanghai.
Speaker Change #175: It's tricky to do.
Speaker Change #176: Nobody on the call John Oh cause.
Ming Li: Can you please share more with Mr. Xiaopeng and Mr. Ban about our overseas layout this year? Including the initial guidance of tens of thousands of sales and the speed and progress of entering the overseas market, is it in line with our original expectations, or is there a chance to overtake? In addition, as Xiaopeng just mentioned, the speed of NGP testing is very smooth.
Speaker Change #177: Someone's, Ohio, Brian Sabean.
Speaker Change #177: Okay tooth and zones that we will continue to grow.
Speaker Change #177: Puccio not backward looking at GNC.
Speaker Change #177: She one time that you can shut down now about home insurance in terms of how I see time to do the pseudo went into CECO mentioned each of the four.
Speaker Change #177: Sure.
Speaker Change #177: That's how much you know how do you want to highlight.
Speaker Change #178: Oh, gosh, I'm glad you're going to go through those.
Speaker Change #179: <unk> this is the closest Sydney or not.
Ming Li: In this regard, will the investment in R&D be a relatively high factor? Or is it that we are bringing some technology from China? So, last week, the Xpeng brand officially entered the Hong Kong market, and also, in the next few months, Xpeng will enter more and more countries, especially South Asia.
Speaker Change #180: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #180: The idea of total.
Speaker Change #180: Got it you know my usual competitors so.
Speaker Change #180: So I'm drunk all dependent.
Speaker Change #181: Uh Huh she seemed to go.
Speaker Change #181: Is it who didn't have you don't see those it would be done right. When he says you know what you're thinking in terms of the deal. So last week, it's kind of been officially until the market also.
Speaker Change #181: You may makes a few months extremely buoyant.
Speaker Change #181: More and more countries, especially if you are so right now based on where you are.
Hongdi Gu: So right now, based on... [inaudible] You're entering a new phase, right now, are you ahead of your original target? [inaudible] a few times, and Wenyu, an incredible R&D experience because you also provide the XMGP functions overseas. First of all, regarding our overseas plan, I would say this year we are, as you can see, accelerating our pace of international development. We are targeting to roll out to more than 20 countries with our industry-leading technology advanced EBITDA. The exact number of markets obviously also correlates to the type of models that we can make available to these markets.
Speaker Change #181: Oh, not lunching over market and also.
Speaker Change #181: The progress so far.
Speaker Change #181: Yeah.
Speaker Change #182: You too.
Speaker Change #182: Right now too.
Speaker Change #183: You are ahead of your original target.
Sure.
Speaker Change #183: And that total volumes will be a few times.
Speaker Change #183: And.
Speaker Change #184: Well you are incredible R&D expenses, because he will also provide excellent GP common shares in oversea market.
Brian: Amy its Brian let me address your question.
Speaker Change #186: First of all regarding our overseas plan I would say this year. We are as you can see accelerating our pace of international development, we are targeting to roll out to more than 20 countries with our industry.
Speaker Change #186: Industry, leading.
Technology advanced DBS.
Speaker Change #186: The exact number of markets. Obviously also correlates to the type of models that we can make available to these are markets. For example, right now Europe, we are already selling the <unk> nine P. Seven we're launching the lesson driving cheese sticks. This month will hopefully deliver very soon.
Hongdi Gu: For example, right now in Europe, we're already selling the G9 and P7. And we're launching the left-hand drive version in G6 this month. We'll hopefully deliver them very soon. In other markets, for example, in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, we're launching the right-hand drive in G6, I would say probably in a couple of months. And also, we'll probably be followed with the right-hand drive version of the X9 to be delivered probably by the end of this year or early next year.
Speaker Change #186: In other markets for example in Southeast Asia, and you pointed out Hong Kong, we are launching the right hand, driving G. Six Oh.
Speaker Change #186: I would say probably a couple of months.
Speaker Change #186: So, we'll probably be followed with the right hand, driving X time to be delivered partly by the end of this year or early next year. So as you can see that the the whole international expansion is on track. We think the original guidance. We gave in terms of number in <unk>.
Hongdi Gu: So, as you can see, the whole international expansion is on track. We think the original guidance we gave in terms of numbers, in terms of tens of thousands, as well as this quarter, when we said we would like to achieve more than 10% of our overall delivery number is still valid. So those are the right guidance we want to give on international expansion. And regarding the technical XMGP related smart driving technology, we are actively testing a number of overseas markets, currently also working with regulatory bodies to make sure that this complies with and also develops regulations in these markets. The development is actually not going to make a material increase in our overall R&D.
Speaker Change #186: Mr tens of thousands as well as this quarter, we'd like to cheap more than 10% of our overall delivery number is still valid. So those are the right guidance system Monotype on international.
Speaker Change #186: Expansion and regarding the technical <unk>.
Speaker Change #186: <unk> related.
Speaker Change #186: What's driving technology, we are actively now testing a number of overseas market. Currently also working with regulatory bodies to make sure that this.
Speaker Change #186: Compliance with and also developing regulations in these markets.
Speaker Change #186: The development is actually not going to make a material increase in our overall R&D first of all I think we are still very targeted in the number of markets that we want to bring the a subset.
Hongdi Gu: First of all, I think we are still very targeted in the number of markets to which we want to bring the subsets of our XMGP capabilities. But again, also just echo what Xiaopeng just mentioned, our capability for development has also been increasing now with the help of AI and large model capabilities, and also removing the need for The map, as well as using the large language model to accelerate development in different scenarios, will also benefit our development overseas.
Speaker Change #186: Subsets of our extensive capabilities, but again also.
Speaker Change #187: What Ah shall conscious mentioned our capability of development also has been increasing now with the help of AI and large model capabilities and also removing the need for Hum.
Speaker Change #187: The the map as well as using the large language model to accelerate the development and different scenarios also will benefit our development overseas. So in all I think we will.
Hongdi Gu: So, in all, I think we will look forward to seeing some of these capabilities being made available later this year, as well as probably early next year in some of the overseas markets. [inaudible] Your next question comes from Bin Wang with Deutsche Bank. First, can you describe the scenario for our 4G network? As the leader just said, the sales of 4G will have a very high growth compared to last year. Last year, we had 20,000 units of 4G in a single month.
Speaker Change #187: Look forward to seeing some of these capability being made available by later this year as well as the probably early next year in some of the oversea market and also at the same time, we don't see material increases.
Speaker Change #187: R&D expense because of that effort.
Speaker Change #187: On a single Brian.
Speaker Change #187: Yeah.
Speaker Change #188: Your next question comes from bin Wang with Deutsche Bank.
Speaker Change #189: She's a covenant.
Speaker Change #190: So you can listen to name him, but I'm also sell misleadingly touching a may contain saddam.
Speaker Change #191: So now if we continue we call <unk>.
Speaker Change #190: Alison.
Speaker Change #192: Let's see to Montana.
Bin Wang: Can we assume that we can reach 30,000 units of 4G this year? If it is 30,000 units, how can we distribute them among the current products, such as Mona and F57? At the same time, with such good sales, what should we do with our gross profit? We have three key factors.
Montana.
Speaker Change #193: Josh you Shouldnt I can see it was causing.
Speaker Change #193: Cause some anti nausea stomach.
Speaker Change #194: Some of that churn was on Pega manav.
It was achieved with a passion Changsha Tianjin.
Speaker Change #194: Until we shouldn't that somehow I sit on the shelf in the multi do you guys. In Macau you may have done the Shandong EMEA was done something so beautiful Amanda the part on the jumbo so called vanilla Marty how come toward the puzzling.
Bin Wang: For example, we have a lot of accounts, so we can export more gross profit and contribute more to the public's EEA. Can our gross profit reach 15%? This is my first question. My first question is about the No. 4 quarter this year. You are actually very confident about the No. 4 quarter this year.
Speaker Change #195: Question on margin.
Speaker Change #196: But I can assure you Glenn.
Speaker Change #197: My first question is about the number of full quarter. This year you are actually very confident about the number for this year.
Bin Wang: If you say that, the volume will have a very high growth. If we assume there will be, say, 50% growth in the No. 4 quarter, the monthly volume will be $20,000. So if it was $30,000, what's the breakdown between the existing products and the upcoming Mona and the F57? Meanwhile, can you comment about the margin? Because we see three parts for the margin.
Speaker Change #197: So that the volume will have a very high growth.
Speaker Change #197: There will be a 50% growth on last year.
Speaker Change #197: The full quarter and massive owner will be at 20 K. So if you just study what's the breakdown between the existing products and upcoming Mona.
Speaker Change #198: <unk> David Madge tested then Meanwhile came come up on the margin because with phase III, how default a margin number one is the cost reduction.
Bin Wang: Number one is the cost reduction. Second is the export. Should we have a higher margin?
We certainly have a higher margin set of one additional <unk>.
Bin Wang: And thirdly one, additional EEA income from Volkswagen. So is that growth margin close to 15%? Thank you. Hey Bing, it's Brian.
Speaker Change #199: Income from Volkswagen, So historical matching costs with 15%. Thank you.
Hongdi Gu: Let me just respond. First of all, in the first four quarters of this year, you will see that our Mona product will be in full delivery, and also we'll be launching the delivery of our B segment sedan. So those two products will contribute very meaningfully to the monthly delivery in the fourth quarter, but at very different stages, as you can tell, because starting off the delivery is different.
Brian: Hey, Ben It's Brian Let me just respond first of all in the first fourth quarter of this year you will see that are more on the product will be in full delivery and also will be launching the delivery of our the B segment sedan. So those two product will contribute very meaningful.
Really into the monthly delivery in the fourth quarter, but at a very different at a different stages as you can tell because it's starting off the delivery is different.
Speaker Change #200: So we obey.
Hongdi Gu: So we are very excited about the prospect of both products in terms of generating significant volume. I would say, assuming both models are in full delivery month, I think the monthly numbers we anticipate seem to increase over last year's comparable monthly delivery numbers are achievable. That's what we believe.
Speaker Change #200: Excited about the prospect of both products in terms of generating significant volume I would say the.
Speaker Change #200: I would say assuming both models are in full delivery months I think the monthly numbers, we anticipate increased over last year's comparable monthly delivery number is achievable that's what we believe.
Speaker Change #200: Again, I'm not going to give you the exact number as well as breakdown, but that's how we envision the.
Speaker Change #200: The delivery number of growth, but also what I want to emphasize is that.
Hongdi Gu: Again, I'm not going to give you the exact number as well as the breakdown, but that's how we anticipate the delivery number growth. But also, what I want to emphasize is that, as you just heard, these two products are only the beginning of our super product cycle that will probably last for the next 18 to 24 months. And also, because early next year, and we will also have additional products as well as updated models to be launched in the subsequent quarters, we want to make sure that the growth profile remains stable, as well as under control.
Speaker Change #200: You just heard that this these two product is only the beginning of our super product cycle that will last probably for the next 18 to 24 months.
Speaker Change #200: And also because the the early next year.
Speaker Change #200: We will also have additional products as well.
Speaker Change #200: Updated models to be launched in the subsequent quarters, we want to make sure that.
Speaker Change #200: That growth profile maintain stable.
Speaker Change #200: As well as.
Hongdi Gu: So we actually want to make sure that the additional volume that we want to achieve on a monthly basis is growing in a more stable and sequential manner rather than episodic, you know, big bursts like, you know, some other model launches you've seen. So I think that's, you know, probably lasts until the remainder of next year, given the other models. We'll later, hopefully, give you a prelude to the next few quarters of earnings.
Speaker Change #200: The control so we actually want to make sure the additional volume.
Speaker Change #200: We want to achieve on a monthly basis is growing in a more stable and sequential manner, rather than episodic big bursts like some other model launches you've seen so I think that that's.
Speaker Change #200: Kind of probably lasts until the remaining of next year given the the other models well related pump hopefully it will give you a pretty loose in the next few quarters of earnings in terms of margin I would like to comment first of all I would say the Mona.
Hongdi Gu: In terms of margin, I would like to comment, first of all, on the MONA model. Even though it's an A-class sort of sedan, we are still anticipating healthy positive margin contribution from this model, and also in healthy quantities.
Speaker Change #200: Auto even though it's at a class sort of Sudan, we are still anticipating healthy positive margin contribution from this model and also in healthy quantities for the the beef segment's sedan, we think it's going to be higher margin than probably.
Hongdi Gu: For the B-segment sedan, we think it's going to be higher-margin than our current models, except the X9. So both will contribute, I would say, materially to the gross profit mix. And also, as Charles mentioned, the contribution from Volkswagen will continue and become a steady recurring income. At the same time, we anticipate additional contributions from EEA cooperation. So with all these contributions, as well as our view currently on the potential gross profit margin for the new product, we are maintaining a healthy low to mid-teen margin gross profit for our overall business by the end of this year. Okay, the second question is that we do see our peers have actually launched the EIV version, and the volume has a big increase. What's our plan for our power chain?
Speaker Change #200: Our current models, except the X nine so both will contribute.
Speaker Change #200: Materially to the product are proximate gross profit mix and also us.
Speaker Change #200: Charles mentioned the contribution from Volkswagen will continue to come up steady recurring income at the same time, we anticipated additional contribution from E collaboration so with all this contribution as well as to our sort.
Speaker Change #201: Are you currently on the.
Speaker Change #201: Potential gross profit margin for the new products, we are maintaining healthy mid to.
Speaker Change #201: Low to mid teen margin gross profit for our overall business.
Speaker Change #201: At the end of this year.
Hongdi Gu: Will you also launch the EIV version for products? We generally don't want to answer the question of future clear product planning because this is a planning system.
Speaker Change #201: Okay.
Speaker Change #202: I'm kind of a norm that.
Speaker Change #203: I don't think so that sometimes pushing that down so I think the I'll call. It almost not bring them back how do you call it that way.
Speaker Change #203: And the second question is that we do see our peers actually.
Speaker Change #204: Yeah, Ivy bridge and won't have a big increase what's our plan for our powertrain, where you also announced that <unk> brought to us. Thank you.
Speaker Change #204: Yeah.
Speaker Change #205: Oney bump for you you've laid out they will either does or doesn't mean <expletive> is hey, let's having no clue hot he always says it's really a great quantity Shea.
Hongdi Gu: I think what we can say today is that in the field of aeronautical vehicles, we will use a sincere approach and not disclose any information in relation to our product designs because it is simply still in the planning stage. And going forward, this is something that we would be looking at being implemented in our flying cars. And in terms of the BEV, I can say that for the flying party, and the auto party, there will be BEVs. And so for further details, it is better that we wait until the product actually becomes more concrete when we have more detailed plans and are more ready to share with the market. Thank you.
Speaker Change #206: Ginger and create that as a result, the fishing she's hurting any Maryland, Ohio, Syngenta changes highlighted HHS finish is hurting them. She took since intend to answer that.
Speaker Change #206: Fishing illnesses turned in.
You can fit them in China.
Speaker Change #206: I couldn't do it at home, yet and won't mention Shanghai and I think the timing that you hope it doesn't infringe out.
Speaker Change #206: Yeah.
Speaker Change #207: Hey, Jim.
Speaker Change #208: Thank you for your question and generally speaking, we would not be very willing to disclose any information an invitation to our product designs because some people still in the planning stage and going forward. This is something that we would be looking at it being implemented.
Speaker Change #208: And then third in our flying car seat and.
Speaker Change #208: In terms of B b.
Speaker Change #209: <unk> and I can say that so so why the same party.
Speaker Change #209: So part of it will be BV, and therefore I'll give you further details on it is better that.
Speaker Change #210: Wait until the product actually becomes more concrete one when we have more detailed plans and the progress you can share with the market.
Hongdi Gu: I want to add two of our sincere opinions. I think the first one is that the movement actually has a real need for customers. So now there are a lot of car owners in the past year or so, and I believe in the future, there will be more than a year. This mixed technology, including genuine, is a technology that requires a huge amount of practicality. I believe that many motorists will probably change their charging system for the next car. This is the first thing we see. Archibald Fein. So, please allow me just to add a few points.
Speaker Change #211: And what's happened with home yeah. Good woman they tend to know kind of what you do 50 Eagle just don't see how to Cook, we'll see essentially the three children, Tennessee that machine that can fit on towards I'd say you got to do.
Speaker Change #211: Pet CT Cheetah Union to what we're showing you the Wheeler hygiene in those hitting singles and don't usually deposits in Tennessee, the truth as you'll see shortly the attention that's Oh, my God, you're not familiar with <unk>.
Speaker Change #212: She is solar so common Sasha goodnight.
Speaker Change #213: The anti Kilen chats, you'd seal the pin count so gene targets in Chongqing treat haven't catch it couldn't daughter chisel shouldn't get as hunting. So you will continue with casuals that tallgrass since we're talking.
Speaker Change #215: Yeah, So I'd say somewhere between lets say time to play out.
Speaker Change #214: Paul and the team.
Speaker Change #214: It was challenging and dot com.
Speaker Change #214: Commons at Shiloh insurer.
Speaker Change #214: <unk>.
Speaker Change #214: Does anyone wants and try and get into the whole kind of theme Xuzhou chip I'll finish it.
Speaker Change #214: Yeah.
Speaker Change #216: So please allow me just to supplement a few points and my first point is that Oh, yes, indeed in the past the one year and in the next year coupon, we will see that today, so quite a lot of demand coming from the market, but from the consumer for ph Evs.
Hongdi Gu: And my first point is that, indeed, in the past one year and in the next year to come, we will see that there is quite a lot of demand from the market and from consumers for PHEVs. However, you will see that a lot of these consumers will realize that despite having a PHEV, and out of a year, in terms of the times that they actually go to the petrol station and get it filled up, it's very little, only a few times.
Speaker Change #216: But you will see that a lot of the consumer is that they will realize they want to decide to having a ph D and out of the year.
Speaker Change #216: Since the time that they actually go to the petrol station and then to get it filled up isn't very little only a few times and by having this more.
Speaker Change #216: More and more consumers are actually have more confidence in <unk> and in pure.
Hongdi Gu: And by having this experience, more and more consumers actually have more confidence in BEVs and in pure electric vehicles, so to speak. And at the moment, we are also working hard on the construction and building of our Ultra X5 series of products. And I do believe that for consumers having experienced the PHEVs, and for the next car model, it is very likely that they will go for BEVs. The second part is that from a technical point of view, the cross-country difficulty range from pure electricity to pure electricity is much higher than that from pure electricity to pure water. However, we believe that many challenges have been met in the current generation of real-world vehicles. For example, many challenges have been encountered in globalization.
Speaker Change #216: It could be a publicly.
Speaker Change #216: And at the moment, we are also working hard on the construction and the building of Oh.
Speaker Change #216: Ultra extra flying for a series of products and so.
Speaker Change #216: I do believe that deploy consumers are having experienced the ph evs. It ends up for the next car model and it is very likely that they will go for BD.
Speaker Change #216: And again well financials for Teva.
Speaker Change #217: C Zone Cheung chief reach out to us on since industrial Indiana.
Speaker Change #217: Ryan in two cohorts one trend in Belgium.
Speaker Change #217: Hello, Montana Duncan so you've tightened since these are using kind of a hotel that needle and touch and youll have on pulling out of 112.
Hongdi Gu: Chinese cars are mainly driven in cities, while in some overseas countries, cities and highways are quite proportional. So, in the current situation of high-speed real-world vehicles, there are a lot of people. So, from a different perspective, for Xiaopeng, what will the next generation of Zengcheng be like? This is what we are thinking about. So, in the future, I hope to share more of our thoughts with everyone. In addition, in terms of the technology and the movement from these cars and into BEVs, actually, it's quite a jump in terms of the technology.
Speaker Change #218: She had her exceed that say I shouldn't even coverage for.
Speaker Change #219: Fifth highlight of course, yes.
Cultural towards a chunk of shutting down the PD and then with the cultural journey tend to Duncan to yes or no.
Speaker Change #220: Number three planes as a rotational natural.
Speaker Change #220: That's intermediary shied itunes in system.
Speaker Change #221: So what we're gonna daughter sure Teresa if you can put them in Xi'an and thinking about different genre, you're changing the type of procedure.
Speaker Change #221: In addition in terms of the technology and the movement from the cars and into the auction.
Hongdi Gu: And you can also see if we look at it globally and, you know, for instance, in certain countries in Asia versus certain countries in Europe or elsewhere, and sometimes certain cars could only run on a certain path or certain roads, etc.
Speaker Change #221: Its quite a jump into in terms of the technology and then you can also see if we look at it globally and so you know for.
Speaker Change #221: Certain countries in Asia.
Speaker Change #221: In countries in Europe, and elsewhere, and then sometimes if they can cause could only one on a certain part certain zones etcetera, I and we do think that it is not a simple it is not as straightforward as what we hear.
Hongdi Gu: And we do think that it is not as simple, it is not as straightforward as what we hear from the market. And we do think that, therefore, we would need to be very cautious and we need to be very vigilant. And for XP, obviously, they will also continue to watch the space very carefully. Your next question comes from Paul Gong with UBS. I have two questions.
Speaker Change #221: From the market at the end of it.
Speaker Change #221: So we would need to be very cautious and we need to maintain very vigilant and therefore, obviously, we will also continue to watch this space very carefully.
Speaker Change #222: Your next question comes from Paul Gong with UBS.
Speaker Change #223: So this is just for the Q1.
Speaker Change #224: To go into <unk> into some point of view so call it $1 one from Washington.
Paul Gong: The first question is about the end-to-end large model. There is some feedback from the industry. They say that if the Taiji Foundation uses the end-to-end model as soon as possible, there will be uncertainties because it may not be able to make a decision based on the results it produces.
Speaker Change #225: So uhm reshuffling for the Hydro Shaw.
You shouldn't.
Speaker Change #226: On that one.
Speaker Change #226: You'll push.
Speaker Change #227: Sure thing.
Speaker Change #228: Sure Emily.
Speaker Change #228: Beating.
Speaker Change #228: Sure you can answer.
Speaker Change #229: So I was wondering what you guys have the hard if we can go after and trust that you've about Lora Tamayo from Chris Shaw with some cash at Pantheon, Oklahoma total accretion.
Speaker Change #228: Mike.
Speaker Change #230: Sure So Paul until you've been asked this amount of Chicago. So my first question is regarding the end to end.
Paul Gong: It may not be able to make a precise decision. There is also feedback that when the model becomes larger, the update will be slower. I don't know what Xiaopeng thinks about this, so my first question is regarding the end-to-end big model. There has been some feedback in the industry saying that it involves uncertainty in terms of decision making, and it also makes it more difficult to figure out why the decision was made in that way.
Speaker Change #230: Model there has been some feedback from the industry is seeing that evolve.
Speaker Change #230: For Samsung continued in terms of decision, making and also.
Speaker Change #230: Obviously, it's more difficult to figure out why the decision was made in that way and also the feedback is so in the model.
Paul Gong: And also, the feedback is that when the model becomes larger, it kind of slows down in terms of upgrading. So how does Xpeng think about this issue? This is my first question. [inaudible] Right, let's start from the beginning. When you were designing the model, did you have the same idea? We were all very worried.
Speaker Change #230: Sure.
Speaker Change #230: Kind of slows down in terms of upgrading.
Speaker Change #231: So how does X palms and coupled with the C. Suite. This is my first question.
Speaker Change #230: Yeah.
Speaker Change #232: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #232: Boy that's trade credits.
Jonathan Chang: Sure Jonathan.
Speaker Change #234: Logan and John will get into Shanghai, you fill mentally to worry.
Jonathan Chang: Laurie.
Xiaopeng He: , But with the advancement of technology, we see that [inaudible] We all know that there are many factors in a large model. But the most important thing is how you build your controller, such as your brake system, your black box safety system. So, I think Xiaopeng's car is better in terms of its past automatic driving., [inaudible], We put a lot of effort into this project. Okay, please translate this for me.
Jonathan Chang: That's for sure the tissue to changing and what kind of it doesn't.
Speaker Change #235: Doesn't done Washington choose either to the judge.
Speaker Change #236: And torched.
Thomas: Sure Thomas I'll tell you what's your initial countries when we all get so much it goes yeah, either come to the teacher leader he does it.
Speaker Change #236: So as you know.
Speaker Change #236: Clifford the unchanged.
Speaker Change #236: Cool.
Speaker Change #236: That's just something I want you to get your holiday.
Speaker Change #238: James the shovel, she says a country that's suitable jetson email on that.
Speaker Change #238: 200, <unk> cone true.
Speaker Change #239: And Jim Boyish and garner sitting now in Sydney.
Speaker Change #241: That's a good email tissue okay.
Speaker Change #240: Don't know Thunder.
Speaker Change #240: Those are the two developments and John neither culture to the D J.
Speaker Change #240: Jenny the truth either fungi.
Speaker Change #240: So you've got things that are traditional.
Speaker Change #240: And then you can go out there and you mentioned youre bidding.
Speaker Change #240: That's generally been true quite a figure that would be cheaper than that.
Speaker Change #242: She told us.
Speaker Change #243: Hum Shambaugh FHA gotcha.
Speaker Change #243: Yeah.
Xiaopeng He: Thank you very much for your question. Yes, indeed, in the very beginning, we did worry about it. And, however, with the advancement of technology, we can now see the huge value that end-to-end large models can bring. And, of course, with technology, there are always uncertainties, and what we need to do is to make sure that we are able to keep an eye on and ensure the safety of the black box, of the control of the vehicle, et cetera, and as well as the end-to-end capability.
Speaker Change #244: Thank you very much for your question, yes, indeed in the very beginning we did worry about quarter end, however, with the advancement of the technology. We can now see that huge body of that end to end. The large models that can be on a course of where the technologies are always uncertain and what we need to do it.
Speaker Change #244: To make sure that we are able to keep an eye and ensuring the safety of the black box of the control of the vehicle etcetera and as well as at the end to end the capabilities and secondly, we are also good.
Speaker Change #244: Building a.
Speaker Change #244: Large inside.
Speaker Change #245: Analog model, Yeah that will help us to carry out it's a very it's a pilot in the trials.
Xiaopeng He: I don't really understand the second question, but I can try to explain it. In fact, the big model of autonomous driving and the big model of big languages are not completely the same. In fact, you can understand the logic of the entire model on the basis of Transformer and write it yourself instead of using some open source model. OK, so when you have the ability to use large models, you don't need such a large data variable. For example, the 30 coins that Yejie mentioned, or the larger coins.
Speaker Change #246: I'm going to see everyone here will position to be in Indonesia.
Speaker Change #247: Great and that kind of a choice I think there's a series of.
Speaker Change #247: So don't ask me that I'm wishing for.
Speaker Change #247: The most important change that.
Speaker Change #248: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #249: So these are like Hey, you know what that trial, the formula change without Qingdao, Jason without knocking on doors, yet Richard Ashworth your appetite given the local talent that much okay.
Speaker Change #249: And so.
Speaker Change #249: So you want that motion and then you sort of see.
Speaker Change #249: <unk> hung for shield, which the data shortly the vehicle.
Speaker Change #249: So the usual edition shoulder to the sensitivity you thought it would be the agenda, Washington explicit emotion Ya man from call traditional treat that you're seeing in general with me at <unk> Cushing It doesn't mean to say.
Xiaopeng He: With respect to your second question, I'm not entirely sure if I have understood what you are trying to get, but I'll try my best to answer. And I would say that from an autonomous driving model versus a large language model, these two are actually different when looking at them from transformers, and this is not open source.
Speaker Change #249: So for the margin you mentioned that you thought of jobs Sundhage NP national share.
Speaker Change #250: Yes, it is happening in New York.
Speaker Change #250: Tornado.
Speaker Change #250: Hum.
Speaker Change #250: One of them.
Speaker Change #251: With respect to your second question I'm not entirely sure. If I have understood. What you are trying to get but I'll try my best to answer and I would say that from an autonomous driving model, which is a large language model. These two are actually different than looking at it from Transformers and business.
Speaker Change #251: The open source and if we do have our own model.
Xiaopeng He: And if we do have our own model, actually, we do not need to use such a large amount of data as what the industry requires, what's set to be, and for instance, 30B or whatever, and we would be able, once identifying the appropriate model, to work on that basis and move forward. Thank you. Okay, my second question is about the existing channels. They are usually located in good locations, but the area is relatively small.
Speaker Change #251: We would not need to use it as.
Speaker Change #251: Such amount of data as to what the industry.
Speaker Change #251: Finally, as it was said to be in for instance, or <unk> or whatever it ends up.
Speaker Change #251: Would you be able once identify the appropriate model, yet, but we would be able to work on that.
Speaker Change #252: Move forward. Thank you.
Speaker Change #253: Hi, Thiago winter, so corn, which you thought were taught you shouldn't change all that you've got to get out of the hall.
Speaker Change #254: One was if you call a beach or how do you connect minchey.
Speaker Change #254: So on the shipyard shuttle.
Paul Gong: As Xiaopeng's car and Mona's car are getting more and more expensive, do we need to expand the area of the power grid and even sacrifice this location as a cost? So my second question is regarding the distribution channel. So far, I can see that the stores are mostly in some prime locations, but with a relatively limited area.
Speaker Change #254: You talked to a cell phone chips.
Speaker Change #254: Odd into moving towards that you've got.
Thomas: Thomas I'll handle your question Joseph Shaw.
The amount that you're convincing some.
Thomas: So you should assume telco TPN total your timeshare.
Speaker Change #255: Second question is regarding the distribution channel so far I can see that the stores are mostly in some prime location, but with relatively.
Thomas: Limited area.
Paul Gong: As Xpeng gradually launches more new models and expands the portfolio, including Mona, do you see the need to expand the average size of the stores, or the area of the stores, even at the cost of, say, shifting out from the most prime location? [inaudible] We have been working on the optimization of the channels. For example, we are now working on the downstream channels. At present, we are covering more low-tier cities. (inaudible) The third is that we won't use a very large area for the newly-opened one in the ink. We will use a 4-degree area.
Thomas: Exponent gradually amongst them.
Thomas: All of those and expands our portfolio, including Montana.
Thomas: See the need to expand the average size of the store. So the area of the store even lateral cost I'll say shifting out on the most prime location.
Thomas: Yeah.
Speaker Change #256: Well it is.
Okay, tortured beautiful, Oklahoma, and Michigan as I told you that chassis.
Speaker Change #256: Chairwoman.
Speaker Change #256: Well guy couldn't do a decent sense for them to go up.
Speaker Change #256: Say that you know of course, you don't forget that once you have that Goshen.
Speaker Change #256: It doesn't.
Speaker Change #256: So it is a financial challenges or what are you doing things yeah, Okay, Sid Jones, who at the end of the need to go there.
Speaker Change #256: Well, Cynthia Neiman angle default towards Hershey I'm Gonna colleges.
Speaker Change #256: Is that a woman site.
Speaker Change #256: She can kind of them won't even 10, well milk prices.
Speaker Change #256: Okay.
Speaker Change #256: Certainly manage it sounds that unloading pushy or partial let's have that issue that you'll create out of it.
Speaker Change #256: John.
Tim Hsiao: Tim I'll finish it.
Tim Hsiao: Yeah.
Xiaopeng He: In fact, we don't need to fill all the cars in the ink. [inaudible] Thank you for your question. And, for instance, we are looking at going into the lower tier cities and trying to cover as many lower tier cities as possible. In the past, we have mainly focused on the high-end and the mid-end tier cities.
Speaker Change #258: Thank you for your question and first of all we have always continued to optimize our channels and that for instance would be I'm looking at going into the lower tier cities and did you try and cover as many low tier cities or is it possible in the past we have mainly focused on <unk>.
Xiaopeng He: And secondly, we do believe that 4S stores, these comprehensive stores, would be able to provide better support for services. And thirdly, even with the new stores that we open up in the malls, and again, we are not going to open them up with a huge amount of floor space because we do believe that even with an appropriate amount of space available for these stores in the mall, the conversion rate of successful orders is actually very high. Last year, our 4G network was optimized, and this year's 1G and 2G network is recovering well.
Speaker Change #258: Our high end to end.
Speaker Change #258: And secondly, we do believe that for us.
Speaker Change #259: There'll be the comprehensive report.
Speaker Change #259: Would it be able to provide better support services and the third.
Speaker Change #259: Even with the new stores that will open up in the malls and again, we are not going to open them up.
Speaker Change #259: A huge area of a flaw.
Because we do believe that even with an.
Speaker Change #259: And appropriate amount of space available for these stores in the mall and the conversion rate of successful water is actually very high.
Speaker Change #259: Hum.
Speaker Change #259: Okay.
Speaker Change #260: Youll see that Gina yet.
Speaker Change #261: Since I quit for you here.
Speaker Change #262: That's what I was hoping that you can send it to them in a short time in Nashville, now, we do want to get that deal by deal.
Xiaopeng He: At the same time, on the 3G network this year, we expect the number of sales to increase to 690 million. And, in addition, in terms of our plans for store openings in Q4 last year, we can see that it has been well recovered in Q1 and Q2 this year. And we predict that by Q3 this year, we will have about 600 stores. Thank you very much; that's quite helpful.
Speaker Change #262: We couldn't got a cell phone charger.
Speaker Change #262: Tissue.
Okay.
Speaker Change #262: And in addition in terms of our plans for store openings in Q4 of last year until we can see that answer it.
Speaker Change #262: While recoveries in Q1 and Q2 this year and we predicted that and so by Q3. This year, we will have about a four to 600 stores.
Speaker Change #263: Thank you very much.
Speaker Change #263: Gotcha.
Speaker Change #263: Okay.
Speaker Change #263: Okay.
Xiaopeng He: ??, Your next question comes from Tina Hou with Goldman Sachs. [inaudible] And then maybe this one, have you done this one? And Duan Xiaofei. And then on Mona's side, we also have... [inaudible] So in terms of our Mona brand, so, Thank you. Thank you.
Speaker Change #264: Your next question comes from Tina <unk> Goldman Sachs.
Thanks, guys.
Speaker Change #264: Yes.
Speaker Change #265: Sure women Ducommun upfront.
Speaker Change #265: Awesome.
Speaker Change #265: Sure.
Speaker Change #265: Sure.
Speaker Change #265: James.
Oh man.
Speaker Change #265: Ah yes.
Speaker Change #265: Iot.
Speaker Change #265: Jewelry chicken.
Speaker Change #265: She cheating.
Speaker Change #265: No.
Speaker Change #265: Jojo.
Speaker Change #265: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #265: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #265: Yeah.
Speaker Change #265: What are you guys.
Speaker Change #266: B J.
Sean Douglas: Sure Sean.
Speaker Change #268: So vishal vishal.
Speaker Change #269: Sure Manav.
Speaker Change #269: J P and salmon.
Speaker Change #270: To be to be blunt.
Speaker Change #271: T J D.
Speaker Change #272: Let me just translate so in terms of our mono brand.
Speaker Change #272: For the two C.
Speaker Change #272: Customers.
Tina Hou: What are some of the competing models? And then also for customers with this price, they might have less demand in terms of the smart... Transcribed by https://otter.ai. Also, do we have any sales volume targets? Be Part.
Speaker Change #272: What are some of the competing models in the market and then.
Speaker Change #272: Also for those customers with this price segment.
Speaker Change #272: They might have less demand in terms of the smart functions and hired men for like the pricing. So aside from I think the vehicle design what are some of our key competitive advantages in this segment also.
Speaker Change #273: We have any sales volume target for the to be part of mono distributions. Thank you.
Speaker Change #273: Okay.
Tina Hou: Yes, this question should be addressed at MOLA's press conference. I think at MOLA we can see that..., [inaudible] If the price is lower than other cars, we used to have a model called 10,000 US dollars. If the price is lower by 10,000 US dollars, the sales of the whole car will increase by 1 to 2 times. This is the trend we saw when the number of users exceeded 200,000. This is the main indicator of competition among new users.
Speaker Change #274: So the one his ethos guy women rollout publically natural Gmail assured I'll say, though.
Speaker Change #273: Okay.
Speaker Change #273: Okay.
Speaker Change #273: And so you won't see her she'll Koreans.
Speaker Change #273: So with her where she oversaw the alcohol tubby she's had a sort of J D.
Speaker Change #273: I can tell you is that you want me to <unk> merchandising, so that sort of shut off when she got you tonio phases.
Speaker Change #275: There's oh, sorry, Thomas Amato conduct valuable truth.
Speaker Change #275: The city Kimpton, then you could say to that Delta.
Xiaopeng He: If we can reduce some of the volumes, we will tell you the exact volumes at the press conference. We believe that the scale of demand is very large. It will be two to four times larger than it is now. But in the past, no one has built a car between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan. It's beautiful, spacious, and intelligent. It's because they couldn't do it.
Speaker Change #275: And then I'm going to tie it to the come in shy challenging to treat.
Speaker Change #275: Probably it goes without saying.
Speaker Change #276: Michelle Sheehan, Heather Bellini motor skills.
Speaker Change #276: What is the chance either.
Speaker Change #276: But we won't know what consumer.
Speaker Change #277: No no. That's just our culture, that's English out with similar fashion show on Saturday and Sunday Orange or from Europe showed on Jennie O chalk incident, so anyway, that's all.
Xiaopeng He: I think Xiaopeng and our partners have been working on this for four years. We have invested a lot in this project. I think we can finally start preparing for it.
Speaker Change #278: What would you add.
Speaker Change #278: That's how long does it couldnt be met going in Hawaii cheesy in Florida since the split.
Similarly in auto insurance held shares.
Speaker Change #278: Joe Shockley cut such a painful and it's just something that you guys should see.
Xiaopeng He: I think this is our goal. So, from another perspective, your question, in the field of 2C, we see that there are some friendly cars that sell a lot, between 20,000 to 50,000 units a month. But we feel that we still have a very big positioning difference with it, which makes it meet a lot of demand for beauty, for technology, for users, which did not exist in the past. Thank you for translating for me.
Speaker Change #278: Part of it is only in the winter.
Speaker Change #279: I didn't hear anything there on kind of how you see a downturn you show your furniture as a matter of faith.
Speaker Change #280: No one had one antigen.
Speaker Change #281: Well why don't you just see that what I'm gonna has he or she can fit on top of it.
Speaker Change #282: He was high somehow managed to fit out or do you mean, the <unk> future.
So I think what you're familiar with.
Speaker Change #283: Your balance sheet.
Xiaopeng He: Thank you very much for your question. And actually, this question is better asked at our MONA products launch event. Anyway, I'll make a few comments.
Speaker Change #284: Thank you very much for your question and actually this question is that better.
Speaker Change #285: In our mono product launch event, and so anyway I'll make a few comments and first of all.
Xiaopeng He: And first of all, for this MONA product, as introduced and presented earlier, this is a product with very high beauty as well as external aesthetics. And, in addition, it also comes with a cheaper price. And we actually have a model, which is what we call the 10,000 U.S. dollar rule, which means that every time the price goes down by 10,000 U.S. dollars, you will see that the sales of that product will actually go up.
Speaker Change #285: For this modem called out to us.
Speaker Change #285: Produced and presented already oriented this is a product with a very high.
Speaker Change #285: Beauty as well as external aesthetics and.
Speaker Change #285: In addition, it also comes with a key part of potency and we actually.
Speaker Change #285: But in motto and a which is what we call. The 10000 U S dollar rule.
Speaker Change #285: Which means that every time the price goes down by 10000, but yes. Some of it is again you will see that it does scale with all that product will actually go up.
Xiaopeng He: By one time, it will actually go up by two times. And this model has been validated in our old experience with our other vehicles in a price range above 200,000. And now, if we were able to implement this and give a bit of a price discount for the MONA series, and in terms of the specific price reduction, we will talk about that in our MONA product launch. And I believe the sale that we are looking at is actually huge. And I would say it's about two to four times the present level.
Speaker Change #285: By one time, what actually go up by two times and.
Speaker Change #285: This model has been validated in our old XD aligns well with our other vehicles as well as our price range above 200000, and now is we would be able to implement and.
Speaker Change #286: Did you give a bit of a price discount for Mona theory.
Speaker Change #286: And just in terms of the specific price reduction we will talk about 2000 in our monarch product launch again, so I believe that scaled out until they are looking at is actually huge and I would say, it's about two to four times of the present level.
Xiaopeng He: In the past, for the 100,000 to 200,000 price range, nobody was able to provide the consumers with a car that is not only beautiful, has good space, but also a smart car with very good technology. After four years of hard work and R&D and so much investment into this, XP has been able to come up with a product, MONA, that is able to meet all the above demands. In other words, if you look at our competitors at the moment, yes, some of them say that they can sell 20,000 to 50,000 units of cars per month.
Speaker Change #287: Well it wasn't due to 200000 price range nobody was able to provide to the consumer with a cost that is not only beautiful has a good space, but also a small car with very good the technology. After four years of hard work and the R&D and so much investment into that.
Speaker Change #287: Finally, <unk> has been able to come up with a product.
Speaker Change #287: That is able to meet all the above but demand in other words, if you look at our competitors at the moment, yes. Some of them say that the data. So 20 to 50000 units for class a per months and high but I can assure you that oh for our mono products.
Xiaopeng He: However, I can assure you that for our MONA product, you would see a huge difference between our car and the competitors' cars, because not only are we able to provide the beauty, provide the space, but also to provide this range of prices with good technology and good smart driving functionality that was not able to be met in the past. We have been discussing and thinking for a long time about the need for naturalization. I think there are two ways.
Speaker Change #287: Would see a huge difference between our card JCB competitors, causing because not only that we are able to provide the beauty to provide you. This data, but also to provide it.
Speaker Change #287: A range of apprised of what a good technology and good.
Speaker Change #288: Smart driving functionality you said that it wasn't just needed that was not able to be met in the past.
Speaker Change #289: I'm not going to sit on quite a few charges.
Speaker Change #289: And so when they are tolerant enjoys shook out on your table.
Xiaopeng He: First, we will provide a version with different intelligent classifications to satisfy some users who may not need them. Wang Wang bu shi shu qu niu liang de gao nan,, . In fact, for users in the range of 100,000 to 200,000, more people need high-level smart homes, but they think it's too expensive. Once they get this high-tech product, they can afford to pay the price. I think in the next year, in 2015, we will see... [inaudible] So to answer your second question, and with respect to smart driving or autonomous driving, I would say that it is likely, yes, some of these consumers may not need very highly advanced functions, and we will possibly be looking at a strategy that is stratifying and giving out different levels of ADAS to It is rather that the people who are making fewer phone calls are the high-end data generators.
Speaker Change #289: Virginia Goodbye or just Eagle and hopefully get a foothold in general Huffington. The typical time that two.
Speaker Change #289: Two months, what kind of rates for sort of your people in New York with current and potential.
Speaker Change #290: That's Oh, you don't you've got your channel that you know what I'll tell you the same challenge.
Speaker Change #291: Sure sure. It also she said.
Speaker Change #291: Godaddy.
Well uncles their shoes renewal down there.
Speaker Change #291: Sure.
Speaker Change #291: They will help you just saw that you know.
Speaker Change #291: It's a short renewal they'll go to England.
Speaker Change #291: Sure.
Speaker Change #292: A woman.
Speaker Change #292: Poof initial G well anyway.
Patrick: So GSO SaaS, our salons and achieve it couldn't already shield Gordon He said and Jeff. This is Patrick Thats a great.
Speaker Change #294: You've done.
Speaker Change #295: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #295: Golf coach at Etame, and then how you might look for that channel because it's true that ashish.
Speaker Change #295: Well the way that took us.
Speaker Change #295: Yes.
Speaker Change #295: They were kind of out of the shoot you though.
Speaker Change #295: Chip.
Speaker Change #295: So to answer your second question with respect it too.
Speaker Change #296: Smart driving.
Speaker Change #296: Our society and I would say that so.
Speaker Change #296: Likely yes that some of these the consumers that they may not need it very highly advanced the functions and we will probably be looking be looking at that.
Speaker Change #297: So I think he thought is classifying them there danielle to different levels, all that to the consumer is that and I would actually like to pull to the internet to the thinking that so when I was establishing my business and it's something that was quite popular in the industry back in those days and.
Speaker Change #297: What it says is that for the mobile phone users are actually they are not at the high end the generators at the data. It is a rather that the people who are making fewer phone calls that are at the high end the data generally so.
Xiaopeng He: So to adopt that analogy or that thinking, and if we look at the 100 to 200,000 RMB price range, this is actually the group of consumers that would need more autonomous driving functions. It's simply that in the past, this was out of their price range, and they were not able to afford it. Once they are able to afford this, they will be all over the autonomous driving cars in this price range, and I do believe that next year, in 2025, we will see this coming into reality. So Tina, and also this is Brian.
Speaker Change #298: Got it bad analogy.
Speaker Change #298: If we look at the 100 to 212 and RMB price range and this is actually the group of consumers that that you would need more of the autonomous driving functions.
Speaker Change #298: In the past this was out of their price range and they were not able to afford it once a day are able to afford today they would be all over the autonomous driving cars that in basis points range.
Speaker Change #298: But he thought that next year in 2025, we will see that coming into a reality.
Speaker Change #298: Okay.
Hongdi Gu: Let me just comment on your question about the 2B segment. You know, what we see in this price segment product, the successful 2C product will also be used quite prevalently in 2B channels as well. So I think a success of this product, even though not targeted at the 2B segment, will still have significant use cases applied to 2B mobility use. And also, with our partnership and collaboration with DD, I think that the multipurpose sort of use cases will be very, very prevalent in our user base for MONA.
Brian: So T. Now so this is Brian let me just comment on your question on the <unk> segment.
Brian: What we see in this price segment.
Brian: Product.
Brian: The successful C to C product will also will.
Brian: It will be used quite prevalent into the channels as well. So I think our success of this product, even though not targeted at the <unk> segment, but still we'll have significant obviously use cases supply too to be mobility use and also with our partnership and collaboration with Didi <unk> I think that that multi purpose. So you.
Brian: As the case, there will be very very prevalent in our user base for Mona.
Speaker Change #299: Oh, sorry.
Hongdi Gu: I would like to follow up on the topic of 2B. [inaudible] So just to quickly follow up, so for the part, we still expect 100,000 units in the first 13 months and then 100,000 units in the second 13 months. Wang.
Speaker Change #300: A follow up you saw Georgia to Vijay Kumar Nolan.
Speaker Change #300: Joseph.
Speaker Change #300: Judith.
Speaker Change #300: So I'm going to issue.
Speaker Change #301: Does that address your issue on this hotel.
Speaker Change #302: So just to quickly follow up so for the to be part should we still expect a 100000 units in the first 13 miles and then 100000 units in the next 12 months is that still a reasonable expectation. Thank you.
Hongdi Gu: The agreement we have with Didi is still valid, and we still provide such an incentive for Mona to be used in Didi's system. If they achieve those targets in volume, I think the incentive will still be valid. No, I think if you read our agreement, which is made public available, it is actually an agreement that if the Mona product is used in the DD system, in the mobility ecosystem, they could, up to a certain number, receive additional incentives. It does not relate to their own purchase.
Speaker Change #303: The agreement, we have with Didi still valid we still provide such incentive for moana to be used in the system.
Speaker Change #303: In.
Speaker Change #304: They achieved those in volume I think all of that.
Speaker Change #305: <unk> will still be valid.
Speaker Change #305: Yes.
Speaker Change #305: So this is <unk>.
Speaker Change #305: Finally.
Speaker Change #306: I just have two D G. How many they want to purchase.
Speaker Change #307: No I think if you read our agreement, which has made a public available. It is actually an agreement if the mono product is used in the <unk> system in the mobility ecosystem they could.
Speaker Change #307: Up to a certain number they will receive additional incentive it does not relates to their own purchases.
Speaker Change #308: Okay. Thank you.
Unknown Executive: The second question is about our software service revenue. Translated by https://otter.ai, [inaudible] So we see that recognition has started and has been very helpful in terms of our overall margin and profit. So because our collaborative agreement with Volkswagen is not.
Speaker Change #309: Neither do I go on tissue Zachman does Google runs, yes Rajiv.
Speaker Change #309:
Speaker Change #310: Oh geez.
Speaker Change #311: How are you.
Speaker Change #311: Literally.
Speaker Change #312: Oh, John Peeler.

Speaker Change #313: As you know Chi pencil Vince.
Speaker Change #313: Oh sure.
Speaker Change #313: Lisa Damiani your more <expletive>.
Speaker Change #314: My second question is in terms of the software services revenue also with C started recognition has been very helpful. In terms of our overall margin and profitability. So because our collaboration agreement with Volkswagen is not exclusive.
Hongdi Gu: Are we actually... Exploring a similar collaboration with others Hi Tina, I think that our strategic collaboration with Volkswagen actually created a very strong value, strategic value to each other. For example, we are collaborating on the technology, and we are also collaborating on the supply chain, and also, during the process, we also identified opportunities to work more closely going forward in other areas. We believe there are a lot of things we can do as a strategic partners to each other.
Speaker Change #314: We actually actively exploring similar collaboration with other partners.
Speaker Change #315: I think that does our strategic collaboration with Biogen actually.
Speaker Change #315: Create a very strong value strategic value to each other for example, we are collaborating on a technology and also we're collaborating on supply chain and also during the process. We also identified the opportunity to work more closely going forward in other areas we.
Speaker Change #315: We believe there are a lot of things, we can do as a strategic partner to each other.
Speaker Change #315: However, I think that the.
Speaker Change #315: From that.
Speaker Change #315: From a collaboration perspective, our collaboration with <unk>.
Hongdi Gu: However, I think that from the collaboration perspective, our collaboration with We are not exclusive to each other, so therefore, I think that we are also open-minded to looking for strategic collaboration opportunities with other players. However, I think that what we value most is that we see how we can bring value to a partnership and create value for each other, not just a supplier-related relationship. That does conclude our question and answer session. I'd like to turn the call back over to the company for closing remarks. Thank you once again for joining us today.
Speaker Change #316: Well second we're not exclusive to each other.
Speaker Change #316: So therefore I think that we are also open minded.

Speaker Change #388: In terms of the old way of human made.
Xiaopeng He: This will be revised into the training of models and based on the algorithms. We aim to have XMGP accessible on all the roads nationwide by the third of the quarter, as I have said. And our end-to-end AI model will enable us to rapidly advance our software and AI technology on a monthly basis. And we predict that by the end of 2025, we will be able to elevate the city road address experience to much that of the current highway NGP, which means only one manual takeover per hundreds of kilometers of driving.
Nathan: Message of our rules and then coding method I think this will be the light into the training model and based on the algorithms. We aim to have X MTP acceptable Oh, Nathan launch by a third of the quarter as I have said in our end to end AI model will enable us to rapidly now that way.
Nathan: Software and AI technology on a monthly basis, and we predicted that by the end of 2025.
We'll be able to elevate to the city about all that.
Nathan: There's been too much of the current highway MTBE, which means only one menu will take over 500 kilometers of thriving.

Speaker Change #427: Your first question comes from Tim Hsiao with Morgan Stanley.
Speaker Change #427: Yeah.
Speaker Change #428: She didn't quite essentially that you will be able to answer to you is <unk>.
Tim Hsiao: First of all, I would like to congratulate you on improving your understanding of public-private partnership projects. I would like to ask you to increase the scale of the income from the platform software technology for the first quarter of the PPP. In addition, will the contribution of the next several quarters be expected to rise in the early stage? In addition, is there a chance for the income from the contract for the electronic device architecture announced last month to be recognized this year? This is my first question.
So Shannon.
Speaker Change #429: Commodity prices actually go down.
Speaker Change #430: So those were the shelf was on the gene pool, they use which I'll call you.
Speaker Change #430: Essentially asking him go tend to easy to without sort of a tool to the entire engine tissue, there's a claim or trickle down.
Speaker Change #430: I think like they too shallow of NTT Docomo <unk> subscribers.
Speaker Change #430: <unk>, which is something new.
Speaker Change #430: Anyway, it sounds like it <unk> take a heater Shaw Sidoti <unk> disease treated with <unk>.
Tim Hsiao: So my first question is about the revenue contribution from the collaboration with Volkswagen. Could the management roughly quantify the contribution of the service revenue from Volkswagen in the first quarters? And we know that it's recurring, so will it continue climbing quarter over quarter in the following months? Is there any chance that the revenue from the new agreements related to the e-architectures could also come through within the year? So that's my first question. Hi Tim, this is Charles.
Speaker Change #431: So my first question is bound to revenue contribution from the collaboration with Volkswagen.
Speaker Change #431: It's been roughly quantify the contribution of the service revenue from Volkswagen and first quarters.
Speaker Change #432: And we know that Tom is to recurring so will it continue climbing quarter over quarter in the following month.
Speaker Change #433: Is there any chance that the ground new front.
Speaker Change #433: New agreements related to the E architectures.
Speaker Change #434: Because there was a con to within the year. So that's my first question. Thank you.
Charles Zhang: So the platform software collaboration revenue from Volkswagen has been recorded in the service and other revenue in Q1. As you know, that it is recurring. So I think that going forward, every quarter, we will be able to book such platform software technical services revenue. So in Q1, we booked a multi-hundred million RMB platform software services revenue, and I think we believe that in the subsequent quarters, such revenue will be more than what we booked in Q1.
Unknown Executive: Hi, This is Charles.
So the platform software collaboration revenue from Volkswagen has been recorded in the <unk>.
Speaker Change #435: And the other revenue in Q1.
Speaker Change #436: As you know that there is a recurring in nature. So I think that going forward every quarter and we will we will be able to book such platform and software technical services revenue.
Speaker Change #436: So in Q1, we booked.
Speaker Change #436: We booked a multi hundred million RMB.
Speaker Change #436: Platform and software services revenue.
Speaker Change #436: I think that we believe that in the subsequent quarters, especially.
Such revenue won't be more than what we booked in Q1.
Charles Zhang: And so obviously, I think that given the nature of the platform and the software revenue, it is a very high-margin business for us. And we believe that with our vehicle sales business and also the platform and software technical services revenue, our company-level GP margin can be sustainable at a low to mid-teens percentage GP margin.
Speaker Change #436: So obviously I think that just given the nature of the platform and the software revenue. It is very high margin business for us and we believe that the.
Speaker Change #436: With our vehicle on vehicle sales.
Speaker Change #436: And also the and also as a platform and software and technical services revenue.
Speaker Change #436: Our company level GP margin can be sustainable at a low to mid teens GP margin percentage GP margin.
Charles Zhang: And therefore, I think that we have created a very unique business model in the auto industry. In addition to that, we will continue to deliver our cost reductions through technology and also the supply chain and further improve our vehicle GP margin. To address your question regarding revenue from the EE architecture, we expect that revenue from the EE architecture will start to be recognized in the second half. Thank you very much, Charles.
jumping: And therefore, I think that that is jumping pointed out that we created a very unique business model in the auto industry.
jumping: In addition to that and we will continue to to deliver our cost reductions through technology and also the supply chain and to further improve our vehicle GP margin.
jumping: To address your question regarding the revenue from the E architecture and.
jumping: We expect that the revenue from the E architecture will start to be recognized from the second half of this year. Thank you.
Speaker Change #438: Got it thank you very much Charles.
Speaker Change #439: No it <unk> <unk> to <unk>.
Speaker Change #440: Do you have to hit a $10 you see this whole business you mean can be able to eat all just so we talk with you that I know Dwayne Tomo machine Zhang our.
Speaker Change #442: Settlements, which are a challenge to the J E T cell <unk> 72, additional nature will they tell them okay.
Speaker Change #441: She can help this city to teach out.

Speaker Change #441: Sure.
Speaker Change #443: I think the tissue lesion, which I'm hot change into a social data center without saying that you shouldn't be an issue.
Charles Zhang: So my second question is about Tom's writing because we noticed that Xpeng is to leverage NTN's large model to upgrade XGEN-GP by the third quarter of this year to cover basically all the overalls in China, and it would achieve level four vehicle autonomy next year. So to achieve that target, should we expect Xpeng to metaphorically increase R&D spending during the period? And when do you think such technological leadership can translate into upside to new car sales or potential monetization opportunities? That's my second question. Thank you.
Speaker Change #441: So.
Speaker Change #444: My second question is Dow to Tom's Friday.
Because we noticed that expands to leverage hinchey enlarge model to create <unk> by third quarter of this year. Two covers basically over I was in China and with achieved a level four equally taught me next year.
So to achieve that target should we expect <unk> to meaningfully increase R&D spending during the period.
Speaker Change #445: And when do you think such technological leadership can translate into upside to new car sales or potential monetization opportunity. That's my second question. Thank you.
Xiaopeng He: First of all, we want to correct a statement that next year we hope to achieve the ability of L4 instead of L3. Because L4 itself still needs hardware and needs the repetition of the policy rules.
Speaker Change #446: So essentially so faster than many of them children.
Speaker Change #447: Without I hopeful for.
In general she opens up hopefully.
Speaker Change #448: Fishing season.
Speaker Change #448: So it's something that will change.
Okay.
Speaker Change #449: Sure absolutely.
Speaker Change #450: That's helpful Josef cannot always.
Xiaopeng He: ... ,, Therefore, the overall energy consumption did not increase significantly., I believe that it is very difficult to predict the acceleration change after the launch of the large model. I used to use numbers to write programs.
Speaker Change #450: So it has been challenging.
Speaker Change #451: And I thought she equated I know you mentioned that.
Speaker Change #451: Torture.
Speaker Change #451: So you won't see abortion.
Speaker Change #451: Great.
Speaker Change #452: Uh huh.
Some female channel.
Josh: And Josh I shouldn't say you couldn't do it.
Speaker Change #453: Does that change your partnership.
Speaker Change #454: What's you're asking.
Speaker Change #455: This is on top of it or quit and non coupon done Don Washington.
Speaker Change #456: So until you cancel the Belmont either she is Indonesia as what they feel is that collyn.
Xiaopeng He: It's easier to make a clear judgment. For example, I have more numbers, and I have more time, so I can do it. But the model is based on the ability of the data, the scale of the data, and the ability of training. Guo Qilai, I think that in 2025. I originally thought that in the latter half of 2025, autonomous driving capabilities will form a very strong trend. Now, after the big model, this time may be ahead. [inaudible] Thank you very much for your question.
Speaker Change #457: Harlan Nice youth initiatives.
Speaker Change #457: He changed upon that piece or oil can thought about not with a ton of shared yet, but I'm sure it wasn't cleanup.
Speaker Change #457: Moshe <unk> particular, shortly doesn't look unusually the claim organization yet.
Speaker Change #458: Are you pushing it.

Speaker Change #460: So don't just with any questions and you've got <unk> in the country and Chennai.
Speaker Change #461: Publishing so have you considered a sit down with them yet.
Speaker Change #460: Okay.
Speaker Change #462: And to us.
Xiaopeng He: And before I answer your question, there's one correction to make, which is that we hope to achieve the ability of L4 next year. However, we know that being able to actually implement that would also need the hardware as well as the rules and regulations to catch up. So that's point one.
Speaker Change #463: Thank you very much for your question Ian.
Speaker Change #464: I answer your question, there's a one correction and that you can have which is that we hope to achieve the ability of the S.
Speaker Change #465: Oh for next year.
Speaker Change #465: We know that to being able to actually implement that they would also need to have the hardware as well.
Xiaopeng He: And point two, with respect to the large models, and we know that AI large models are going to have a huge impact on all the companies involved. And therefore, as we say in the past, in terms of the rules and regulations people have, those need to change, and the large models will actually generate these new rules. And thirdly, we don't actually need to increase our manpower at the moment, and we have about the same number of people working. We should continue to work on globalization.
Speaker Change #465: Congratulations to catch up so that's 0.1 and 0.2 with respect to the large models and they know that so AI like model, it's going to have a huge impact on all of the companies are involved and that therefore as we say in the past in terms of the rules and regulations people have and they don't need to chase.
Speaker Change #465: And the large models it will actually be generated even more rules and certainly we don't actually need to increase our manpower at the moment and we have about the same amount of people working continue to work on globalization.
Xiaopeng He: In terms of how fast it's going to take or what the speed is going to be like, I would say that it's hard to say, it's hard to quantify. And my original thinking was that it was going to be the latter half of 2025. But now, with the fast development of technology and AI, I think that it will be earlier than 2025, or possibly next year.
Speaker Change #465: In terms of how fast it's going to take or what the speed, it's going to be like I would say that it is hard to say, it's hard to quantify and the possible and we relied on the human powered and wouldn't be able to say how many people we would need how much time, we would need to partner with a large lotto model was and is about you know the.
Speaker Change #465: Still the algorithm and the speed et cetera, and my original thinking was that it's going to be the latter half of 2025, and now Wednesday faster development of that technology, and AI and I think that it would be older than 2025 plus.
Speaker Change #465: For the next year, so, we'll wait and see.
Speaker Change #465: Okay.
Ming Li: So we'll wait and see. Your next question comes from Ming Li with Bank of America. Hello, Mr. Xiaopeng and all the audience members.

Ming Li: So my first question is related to more details of your new product, the pipeline. So in the second half, you will have two products. The first product is related to the Mona Project. So could you give more details regarding the launch timing for the 2B version and also the 2C version?
Speaker Change #473: First question is related to more details for you on our new product pipeline. So in the <unk>.
Speaker Change #473: Second half you will have two product the first product.
Speaker Change #474: Related to Monaca project, So could you give more details regarding the launch timing for the.
Speaker Change #475: To be version and also the two <unk> version and for the next year the product pipeline and could you also give us some guidance.
Ming Li: And for the next year, the product pipeline, could you also give some guidance regarding the numbers for your Mona brand product and also your Xpeng brand product? First of all, I would like to explain that all of our models, our main customers are all 2C; we will not consider... In the field of 2B, there is a large range of features, including Mola, including all of them. So when MOLA was first designed, it was designed with the highest standards in mind. So in the case of high-priced products, we don't think it's beneficial in the 2B market. There is no more time.
Speaker Change #475: Guidance regarding the numbers so for your mono branded product and also.
Speaker Change #475: Sure.
Speaker Change #476: Samsung is comes on a branded product.
Speaker Change #475: Yes.
Speaker Change #475: Yes.
Speaker Change #477: So if someone has told me and I'm sorry go on.
Speaker Change #475: Sure.
Speaker Change #478: Fishing women.
Speaker Change #478: So we need a coach him was a placebo coffee.
Speaker Change #478: Okay.
Speaker Change #478: Okay.
Speaker Change #479: Oh, sorry.
Chris Shaw: What I'll tell you, Chris So Tito so just see trade volumes.
She searches.
Chris Shaw: Koreans if someone tell me up along with other initiatives.
Chris Shaw: Sure.
Xiaopeng He: After the third quarter of this year, we will have different cars in different quarters. Some quarters will have more cars, and some quarters will only have some modified cars. At the same time, we will continue to work on this issue from 2024 to 2026., [inaudible] But at the latest this year, I have just come to Taibao. Xie Maofei.
Chris Shaw: Hmm.
Chris Shaw: <unk> genius and it all just hold them inside Potomac, you to put up with home those are true.
Chris Shaw: Okay.
Speaker Change #481: So I'm sure it does.
Speaker Change #481: I'm not sure what to say so.
Speaker Change #481: So then essentially annuity.
Speaker Change #482: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #485: I'm glad you took on <unk>.
Speaker Change #482: Okay.
Speaker Change #483: That's really different from you to digest that.
Speaker Change #483: And so anyway, we can kind of talk about it.
Speaker Change #484: Thank you.
Speaker Change #486: Jim Hawaii, Kentucky.
Speaker Change #487: Thank you for your question and.
Speaker Change #488: First of all in terms of all our car models and the mainstream offer that we bring to the market. It would still be for that to see market at the end it could be market, there's not maybe our focus including Mona and for a moment, there's a brand and as we say because not so well.
Xiaopeng He: And for MONA, this branding, and as we say, because that's what we are looking at is building this to be the most beautiful and aesthetic cars out there in the market. Therefore, we do not really see this having too much of a big penetration rate into the 2B market. In the 2C, starting from Q3 this year, and following onwards, and in different quarters, we will have different car models being launched in the market.
Speaker Change #488: We are looking at it is converting those are two of the most beautiful in a second.
Speaker Change #488: I hope that in the market. So therefore, we do not really see that having too much I'd say the penetration penetration rate into the <unk> market and then secondly, starting from Q3 this year following onward.
Xiaopeng He: And in some quarters, perhaps there will be a few more different models. And in certain quarters, perhaps this will be simply an updated version of an existing model or a mixed version, so to speak. And starting from 2024 to 2026, we will continue to roll out different car models into the market. And in terms of the specifics, I don't think that I'm in a position to release further details to the market at the moment. And our clients, as you have already heard in my previous presentation. So MOLA will be Xiaopeng's series; we will come back next month to share our thoughts on MOLA with the board of directors.
Speaker Change #488: Each different quarters that we will have a different car models being launched in the market and there's some quarters.
Speaker Change #488: So that will be a few more different models and in certain quarters that perhaps there will be some.
Speaker Change #488: <unk>, an updated version of an existing model, where a mixed version model so to speak and.
Speaker Change #488: Building from 2024 through 2020 six we will continue to roll out the different car models and into the market and in terms of the.
Speaker Change #489: I don't think so.
Speaker Change #489: In a position to release further details to the market at the moment.
Speaker Change #489: Our clients that you have already covered in my previous presentation.
<unk>.
Speaker Change #490: No more surgical Golar places they shop later, she hit one shovel hit, but then tiger.
Speaker Change #491: So you go to the site.
Contemplate ethane shown them all or some niche.
Xiaopeng He: Today, I will repeat what I just said, MOLA has very good ideas, and we hope to make a good profit. And we hope to have different values in Moral, including the highest level of smart driving. The price range is from the current price of more than RMB 200,000 to less than RMB 200,000.
Speaker Change #491:
Speaker Change #491: So for Tomorrow, you will see the audience I, just wasn't sure which Florida.
Speaker Change #491: I told ensuring that more of an annual put on things, but with regard to the Jess.
Josh: This is Josh.
Josh: Either 2000 channel harsher Wang song from General Dot Dot Dot, which is excellent.
Ming Li: This is what we are doing in Mola. So the second part of my answer to your question and for the MONA series, and actually, going forward, and next month, we will have more to share with the market in terms of our thinking about this series. And as I said before, for the MONA series, we are looking at building a car that is the most beautiful and the most aesthetic on the outside. And, in addition, we also hope that this is a car that will bring the company a good amount of profits, and it will also cover various grades of intelligent or autonomous driving.
Josh: The modality.
Josh: Yeah.
Josh: Yeah.
Josh: So the second part of my answer to your question and for the Mona Lisa and well.
Josh: Actually going forward as it warms up a next month, we will have more to share with the market in terms of how we're thinking about it.
Josh: As I said before for monotherapy, because we are looking at building a car that is the most beautiful and the most authentic.
Josh: On the external oriented. In addition, we also hope that this is a car that will bring the company did a mountains of profits.
Josh: Also cover various grades of intelligent autonomous driving that we have.
Ming Li: And we hope that in the past, for autonomous driving, it was mainly for cars in the price range of above $200,000. And with the MONA series, we hope to bring autonomous driving to cars with a price range of within $200,000. In terms of the overseas market, last week, Xiaopeng's brand officially entered Hong Kong. I know that it has recently entered many different countries.
Josh: That said in the past for autonomous driving it was mainly for the pause in the <unk> range of above 200000, with Mona families and we hope to bring the autonomous driving into the car with a price range of 200 and saw them.
Josh: Yeah.
Speaker Change #492: Uh huh.
Josh: Yeah.
Oh highlights just hung with it sounds though GC.
Speaker Change #493: So I'm going to be switching to Shanghai.
Josh: It's tricky.
Ming Li: Can you please share more with Mr. Xiaopeng and Mr. Brian about our overseas layout for this year? Including the sales of tens of thousands of units, and the speed and progress of entering the overseas market, is it in line with our original expectations? Or is there a chance to go further?
Josh: And I'll put on the board John Oh Cool page.
Speaker Change #494: Someone's, Ohio, Brian Sabean, Okay.
Speaker Change #494: <unk> zones.
Speaker Change #494: That's right.
Speaker Change #494: Puccio pulpwood GNC nicely.
Speaker Change #495: She one time that you can shut down now.
Speaker Change #495: About whom research engine to the highlights at the time.
Speaker Change #496: Sue do went into CECO mentioned you cheated.
Speaker Change #495: Sure.
Ming Li: In terms of overseas markets, as Mr. Xiaopeng just mentioned, the NGP test was very successful. In this regard, will the investment in R&D be a relatively high percentage? Or do we actually bring some of the technology from China? So, last week, the Xpeng brand officially entered the Hong Kong market, and also, in the next few months, Xpeng will enter more and more countries, especially South Asia.
That's how it changes how do you want to highlight.
So it sounds like it's going to really supposed to go to go through those.
Speaker Change #495: So is this a sudden or not.
Speaker Change #497: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #497: He was the idea of total.
Speaker Change #498: Got it.
Speaker Change #498: Also on strong growth in Asia.
Speaker Change #498: Uh Huh she seems to go how does it or who didn't have you don't see those if you don't know what he does.
Speaker Change #498: So as you know what you're thinking in terms of the deal. So last week, it's kind of a brand officially until the market also.
Speaker Change #498: In the next few months.
Hongdi Gu: So right now, based on... [inaudible] You are entering a new, Are you ahead of your original target? a few times, and one of you, an incredible R&D experience because you also provide the XMGP functions overseas. Hey Ming, it's Brian.
Speaker Change #498: More and more countries, especially if you are so right now based on where you are.
Speaker Change #498: On the emerging market and also.
Speaker Change #498: The program itself.
Mark: Mark you too.
Mark: Right not too are you ahead of your original target.
Mark: Okay.
Mark: Yes.
Mark: Okay.
Mark: Total volumes will be a few times.
Okay.
Speaker Change #500: Well you are incredible R&D expenses, because he will also provide excellent GP powershares in oversea market.
Hongdi Gu: Let me address your question. First of all, regarding our overseas plan, I would say this year we are, as you can see, accelerating our pace of international development. We are targeting to roll out to more than 20 countries with our industry-leading technology advanced EV. The exact number of markets obviously also correlates to the type of models that we can make available to these markets. For example, right now in Europe, we're already selling the G9 and P7. And we're launching the left-hand drive version in G6 this month.
Brian Sabean: Amy its Brian let me address your question.
Speaker Change #502: First of all regarding our overseas plan I would say this year. We are as you can see accelerating our pace of international development.
<unk> targeting to roll out to more than 20 countries.
Speaker Change #502: Our industry.
Speaker Change #502: Industry, leading.
Speaker Change #502: Technology is best CBS.
Speaker Change #502: The exact number of markets. Obviously also correlates to the type of models that we can make available to these are markets. For example, right now in Europe, we are already selling the <unk> nine P. Seven we're launching the lesson driving cheese sticks. This month will hopefully deliver.
Hongdi Gu: We'll hopefully deliver them very soon. In other markets, for example, in Southeast Asia and, as you pointed out, Hong Kong, we're launching the right-hand drive in G6, I would say probably in a couple of months. And also, we'll probably be followed with the right-hand drive in X9 to be delivered probably by the end of this year or early next year. So, as you can see, the whole international expansion is on
Speaker Change #502: Very soon in other markets for example in Southeast Asia, and you pointed out Hong Kong, we're launching be Ryan driving <unk> six.
Speaker Change #502: I would say probably a couple of months.
Speaker Change #502: So, we'll probably be followed with the right hand, driving eckstein to be delivered partly by the end of this year already next year. So as you can see that the.
Hongdi Gu: We think the original guidance we gave in terms of numbers, in terms of tens of thousands, as well as this quarter, when we would like to achieve more than 10% of our overall delivery number, is still valid. So those are the right numbers we want to give on the international expansion. And regarding the technical XNGP-related smart driving technology, we are actively now testing a number of overseas markets, currently also working with regulatory bodies to make sure that this complies with and also develops regulations in these markets. The development is actually not going to make a material increase in our overall R&D.
Speaker Change #502: The whole international expansion is on track, we think the original guidance, we gave in terms of number.
Speaker Change #502: In terms of.
Speaker Change #502: Tens of thousands as well as this quarter, we would like to achieve more than 10% of our overall delivery number is still valid. So those are the right guidance system Monotype on international expansion and regarding the technical extend GP related.
Speaker Change #502: Smart driving technology, we are actively now testing a number of overseas market. Currently also working with regulatory bodies to make sure that this <unk>.
Speaker Change #502: Compliance with and also developing regulations in these markets.
Speaker Change #502: Good.
Speaker Change #502: The development is actually not going to make a material increase in our overall R&D first of all I think we are still very targeted in the number of markets that we want to bring the.
Hongdi Gu: First of all, I think we are still very targeted in the number of markets to which we want to bring the subsets of our XNGP capabilities. But again, also just to echo what Xiaopeng just mentioned, our capability for development has also been increasing now with the help of AI and large model capabilities, and also removing the need for The map, as well as using the large language model to accelerate development in different scenarios, will also benefit our development overseas.
Speaker Change #503: <unk> of our extensive capabilities, but again also echo what shall conscious mentioned our capability of development also has been increasing now with the help of AI and large model capabilities and also removing the need for.
Speaker Change #503: The the map as well as using the large language model to accelerate the development and different scenarios also will benefit our development overseas. So in all.
Hongdi Gu: So, overall, I think we will look forward to seeing some of these capabilities being made available later this year, as well as probably early next year in some of the overseas markets. And also, at the same time, we don't see material increases in R&D expenses because of that. [inaudible] Your next question comes from Bin Wang with Deutsche Bank. First, can you describe the future of 4G? You just mentioned that sales of 4G will grow much faster than last year. Last year, we had 20,000 units of 4G in a single month.
Speaker Change #503: I think we will.
Speaker Change #503: I look forward to seeing some of these capability being made available by later this year as well as probably early next year in some of the oversea market and also at the same time, we don't see material increases.
Speaker Change #503: R&D expense because of that effort.
Speaker Change #504: Thank you Brian.
Speaker Change #504: Yeah.
Speaker Change #505: Your next question comes from bin Wang with Deutsche Bank.
Speaker Change #504: Yeah.
Speaker Change #506: She's a covenant.
Bin Wang: Can we expect to reach 30,000 units of 4G this year? If it's 30,000 units, how can we distribute them among the current products, such as Mona and F57? At the same time, with such good sales, what should we do with our profit margin? We have three main factors.
Speaker Change #507: So you can listen to me, but let me also settlements lately touching a may contain saddam.
Speaker Change #508: We continue to call on Cullerton's Chimera, well, let's see.
Speaker Change #507: Yes.
Speaker Change #507: So you shouldnt see causing some anti nausea stomach.
Speaker Change #509: I'll, let some of that.
Speaker Change #510: <unk> took a manav.
Is it a passing juncture.
Bin Wang: For example, we have a lot of accounts, which means we can export more profit margin, and we can contribute more to the public. Our profit margin can reach 15%. This is my first question. My first question is about the fourth quarter this year. You're actually very confident about the fourth quarter this year.
Speaker Change #510: Until we shouldn't that somehow I sit on the shelf in the multi do you go to Macau you may have done the Shandong EMEA was down at the MISO do so Amanda the part on the jumbo so called Vanilla Marty how come toward the puzzling.
Speaker Change #510: A question on Martinez iPhone top.
Speaker Change #511: But I can assure you Glenn.
Speaker Change #512: My first question is about the number of full quarter. This year you are actually very confident about a number for this year.
Bin Wang: If you say that, the volume will have very high growth. If we assume there will be, say, 50% growth, last year, in the fourth quarter, the monthly volume would be 20K. So if it was 30K, what's the breakdown between the existing products and the upcoming Mona and the F57 large-scale sedan? Meanwhile, can you comment about the margin? Because we see three out there for the margin.
Speaker Change #512: I will say that the volume will have a very high growth.
Speaker Change #512: There will be 50% growth on last year and number four.
Mark: Mark do you want to be at 20 K. So if you just study what's the breakdown between the two.
Speaker Change #513: You can protest upcoming Mona.
Speaker Change #514: <unk>, David Madge tested in Meanwhile, came come up on the margin because we see a three hour default a margin number one is the cost reduction.
Bin Wang: Number one is the cost reduction. Second is the export, which only has a higher margin. And third one is the additional EEA income from Volkswagen. So is that growth margin close to 15%? Thank you. Hey Bing, it's Brian.
Speaker Change #513: That has certainly.
Speaker Change #513: Certainly have a higher margin set of one additional <unk>.
Speaker Change #515: Income from Volkswagen, So historical matching costs with 15%. Thank you.
Hongdi Gu: Let me just respond. First of all, in the first fourth quarter of this year, you will see that our Mona product will be in full delivery, and we'll also be launching the delivery of our B segment sedan. So those two products will contribute very meaningfully to the monthly delivery in the fourth quarter, but at very different stages, as you can tell, because starting off the delivery is different.
Brian Sabean: <unk>, it's Brian.
Speaker Change #516: Let me just respond.
Speaker Change #517: First of all in the first fourth quarter of this year you will see that are more on the product will be in full delivery and also will be launching the delivery of our the b.
Speaker Change #517: Segment sedan, so those two product will contribute meaningfully into the monthly delivery in the fourth quarter, but at a very different at a different stages. As you can tell because of the starting of the delivery is different so.
Hongdi Gu: So we are very excited about the prospect of both products in terms of generating significant volume. I would say, assuming both models are in full delivery month, I think the monthly numbers we anticipate increased over last year's comparable monthly delivery numbers are achievable. That's what we believe.
Speaker Change #517: So we obey.
Speaker Change #517: Excited about the prospect of both products in terms of generating significant volume I would say of the <unk>.
Jose assuming both models are in full delivery months I think the monthly numbers, we anticipate increased over last year's comparable monthly delivery number is achievable that's what we believe.
Speaker Change #517: Again, I'm not going to give you the exact number as well as breakdown, but that's how we envision the delivery number of growth, but also what I want to emphasize is that.
Hongdi Gu: Again, I'm not going to give you the exact number as well as the breakdown, but that's how we anticipate the delivery number growth. But also, what I want to emphasize is that, as you just heard, these two products are only the beginning of our super product cycle that will probably last for the next 18 to 24 months. And also, because early next year, and we will also have additional products as well as updated models to be launched in the subsequent quarters, we want to make sure that the growth profile remains stable, as well as under control.
Speaker Change #517: You just heard that this.
Speaker Change #517: These two product is only the beginning of our Super product cycle that will last probably for the next 18 to 24 months.
Speaker Change #517: And also because the the early next year.
Speaker Change #517: We will also have additional products as well.
Speaker Change #517: Updated models to be launched in the subsequent quarters, we want to make sure that.
Hongdi Gu: So we actually want to make sure that the additional volume that we want to achieve on a monthly basis is growing in a more stable and sequential manner rather than episodic, you know, big bursts like, you know, some other model launches you've seen. So I think that's, you know, kind of probably lasts until the remainder of next year, given the other models will later, hopefully, give you a prelude in the next two quarters of earnings.
Speaker Change #517: That growth profile maintain stable.
Speaker Change #517: As well as.
Speaker Change #517: The control so we actually want to make sure the additional volume.
Speaker Change #517: We want to achieve on a monthly basis is growing in a more stable and sequential manner, rather than episodic big bursts like some other model launches you've seen so I think that that's.
Speaker Change #517: Kind of probably last until the remaining of next year given the the other models well related pumps hopefully it will give you a pre look in the next few quarters of earnings in terms of the margin I would like to comment first of all I would say the Mona.
Hongdi Gu: In terms of margin, I would like to comment, first of all, on the MONA model. Even though it's an A-class sort of sedan, we are still anticipating healthy positive margin contribution from this model, and also in healthy quantities.
Speaker Change #517: Auto even though it's at a class sort of Sudan, we are still anticipating healthy positive margin contribution from this model and also in healthy quantities for the the beef segment's sedan, we think it's going to be higher margin than probably.
Hongdi Gu: For the B-segment sedan, we think it's going to be higher-margin than our current models, except the X9. So both will contribute, I would say, materially to the gross profit mix. And also, as Charles mentioned, the contribution from Volkswagen will continue to be, a steady recurring income.
Speaker Change #517: Our current models, except that X nine so both will contribute.
Speaker Change #517: Materially to the product proximate gross profit mix and also us.
Speaker Change #518: Charles mentioned the contribution from Volkswagen will continue to come up steady recurring income the same time, we anticipated additional contribution from E collaboration so with all this contribution as well as to our.
Hongdi Gu: At the same time, we anticipate additional contribution from EEA collaboration. So with all these contributions, as well as our view currently on the potential gross profit margin for the new product, we are maintaining a healthy low to mid-teen margin gross profit for our overall business by the end of this year. Okay, the second question is that we do see our peers actually launch the EIV version and then want to have a big increase. What's our plan for our power chain when you also launch the EIV version of the product? We generally don't want to answer the question of future clear product planning because this is a planning system.
Speaker Change #518: Our sort of our view currently on the.
Speaker Change #518: Potential gross profit margin for the new products, we are maintaining healthy mid two.
Speaker Change #518: Low to mid teen margin gross profit for our overall business by the end of this year.
Speaker Change #518: Okay.
Speaker Change #518: Some of them kind of norm.
Speaker Change #518: Additionally, sometimes pushing that down to suddenly be I'll call it almost quadruple it that way.
Speaker Change #519: And the second question is that we do see our peers actually.
Speaker Change #520: Yeah, Ivy bridge and I'm wondering if that big increase what's our plan for our powertrain, where you also announced that <unk> brought to us. Thank you.
Speaker Change #520: Yeah.
Oney bump for you you've laid out they will either does or doesn't mean Shannon.
Hongdi Gu: I think what we can answer today is that we will use genuine technology in the field of flying cars. We will not disclose any information in relation to our product designs because it is simply still in the planning stage. And going forward, this is something that we would be looking at being implemented in our flying cars. And in terms of the BEV, and I can say that so for the flying party, and the auto party, it will be the BEV. And so for further details, it is better that we wait until the product actually becomes more concrete when we have more detailed plans and are more ready to share with the market. Thank you.
Speaker Change #520: Okay.
Speaker Change #521: Hi, This is felipe quantity Shea.
Speaker Change #522: Well, Jay that Ginger and create that as a result, the efficiencies hurting any Maryland, Ohio Syngenta changes highlighted HHS finished.
Speaker Change #523: And she said she took since entering the fascia.
Speaker Change #522: Fishing illnesses turned in.
Speaker Change #522: You can fit them in China.
Speaker Change #522: You couldn't do it at home, yet and won't mention Shanghai and I think the timing that you hope it doesn't infringe out.
Speaker Change #522: Yeah.
Speaker Change #522: Okay.
Speaker Change #524: Thank you for your question and generally speaking, we would not be very willing to disclose any information an invitation to our product designs because some people still in the planning stage and going forward. This is something that we would be looking at that being implemented.
Speaker Change #524: Third in our flying car seat and.
Speaker Change #524: In terms of B b.
Speaker Change #525: <unk> and I can say that so so why the same party.
Speaker Change #525: So part of it will be BV, and therefore I'll give you further details on it is better that they'll wait until the product actually becomes a more concrete one when we have more detailed plans and the progress that you can share with the market. Thank you.
Hongdi Gu: I want to add two of our sincere opinions. I think the first one is that mixing is actually a real demand for customers. So now there are a lot of car owners in the past year or so, and I believe in the future there will be more than a year. This mixed technology, including genuine, is a technology that requires a huge amount of practicality. I believe that many motorists will probably change to pure electricity in the next car. This is the first thing we see.
Speaker Change #526: And what's happened with home yeah, good woman gets into kind of what you do with it.
Speaker Change #526: The Eagle, which is why you don't see the co wholesale essentially the three children, Tennessee that machine that can sit on top of our take or pay.
Speaker Change #527: Cheetah inventory will show you the Wheeler hygiene endorsed in Singapore don't usually deposits in Tennessee, the Civitas shield future, even touch that's Oh, my God, you're not familiar with him and say she is solar window, so common Sasha goodnight.
Speaker Change #527: In yantai, killing chats, you'd see that the Pinto So gene targets in 20 actually it hasn't crashed it couldn't toward a chisel shouldn't get us. So you will continue with casual that tallgrass since tallgrass.
Speaker Change #527: Tallgrass older Gen. So I'm thinking about between our faith in our chocolate chip cookie, yet were challenging and daughter for North Central Commons at shy Ventura. So.
Speaker Change #528: Does anyone wants in Trinidad.
Hongdi Gu: [inaudible] So please allow me just to add a few points. And my first point is that, yes, indeed, in the past one year and in the next year to come, we will see that there is quite a lot of demand from the market from consumers for PHEVs. However, you will see that a lot of these consumers will realize that despite having a PHEV, and out of a year, in terms of the times that they actually go to the petrol station and get it filled up, it's very little, only a few times.
Speaker Change #529: The <unk> chip I'll finish it.
Speaker Change #530: So please allow me just to supplement a few points and my first point is that Oh, yes, indeed in the past the one year and in the next year coupon, we will see that today, so quite a lot of demand coming from the market from the consumer for ph Evs.
Speaker Change #530: However, you will see that a lot of the consumer is that they will realize they want to despite having ath <unk> and out of the year in terms of the time. They actually go through the petrol station there to get it filled up isn't very little only a few times it.
Hongdi Gu: And by having this experience, more and more consumers actually have more confidence in BEVs and in pure electric vehicles, so to speak. And at the moment, we are also working hard on the construction and building of our Ultra X5 series of products. And I do believe that for consumers having experienced the PHEVs and for the next car model, it is very likely that they will go for BEVs. The second part is that from a technical point of view, it is much more difficult to go from pure electricity to pure electricity than to go from gasoline to pure electricity.
Speaker Change #530: By having this experience.
Speaker Change #530: More and more I can see myself actually have more confidence in <unk> and in pure electric vehicles at speed and at the moment. We are also working hard on the construction and the building of our ultra.
Speaker Change #530: <unk> is a product and so.
Speaker Change #530: I do believe that deploy consumers are having experience of phe visa and go for the next car model and it is very likely that they will go for BD.
Speaker Change #530: And again well financials for Tegra.
So he is a true chefoo southwest Washington does for India.
Hongdi Gu: However, we believe that many challenges have already been met by the current generation of real-world vehicles. For example, many challenges have been encountered in globalization. China's cars are mainly driven in cities, while in some overseas countries, cities and highways have a considerable proportion.
Speaker Change #530: Yes.
Speaker Change #531: Cohorts one trend in Belgium.
Speaker Change #531: Hello, Montana Duncan so you've tightened since he's orange in kind of a go tell that needle and such and Johan and pulling out one or two.
Speaker Change #531: So all of that she had her exceed that say I shouldn't even coverage.
Speaker Change #531: Full thing highlight a courtyard sortation and cultural towards a chunk of shutting down the PD psychosis certain kind of downturn in tier.
Hongdi Gu: So, in the current situation of high-speed real-world vehicles, For Xiaopeng, what will the next generation of Zhen Cheng be like in the field of robotics? This is what we need to think about. I hope to share more with you in the future.
Speaker Change #531: 800 of them too.
Speaker Change #531: Sure he's playing such a rotational natural.
Speaker Change #531: That doesn't mean any shade agenda and system. We are just sort of a good daughter sure sure.
Speaker Change #532: It's been pulled in Xi'an and second by different channels that you're changing the type of procedure.
Paul Gong: In addition, in terms of the technology and the movement from these cars into BEVs, actually, it's quite a jump in terms of the technology. And you can also see if we look at it globally, and, you know, for instance, in certain countries in Asia versus certain countries in Europe or elsewhere, and sometimes certain cars could only run on a certain path or certain roads, etc. And we do think that it is not as simple, it is not as straightforward as what we hear from the market. And we do think that, therefore, we would need to be very cautious, and we need to be very vigilant.
Speaker Change #532: In addition in terms of the technology and the movement from the cars and into BD is actually its quite a jump into in terms of the technology and then you can also see if we look at it globally.
Speaker Change #532: Okay.
Speaker Change #532: On fees in Asia.
Speaker Change #533: And then come to you.
Speaker Change #533: We're in elsewhere and sometimes if they can cause could only one on a certain path where certain zones etcetera I am but we do think that it is not a simple it is not as straightforward as what we hear.
Speaker Change #533: From the market at the end of it.
Paul Gong: And for XP, obviously, they will also continue to watch the space very carefully. Your next question comes from Paul Gong with UBS. The first question is about the end-to-end large model. Now there is some feedback from the industry saying that if the Tai Chi Foundation uses end-to-end technology as soon as possible, there will be uncertain factors. Because of the uncertain outcome, if it makes such a decision, it may not be able to make a precise decision. And there are also feedbacks that when the model becomes larger, its update will be slower. I don't know what Xiaopeng thinks about this.
Speaker Change #533: We think that so we would need to be very cautious and we need to maintain a vigilant and before XP. Obviously they will also continue to watch this space very carefully.
Speaker Change #534: Your next question comes from Paul Gong with UBS.
Speaker Change #534: Sure.
Speaker Change #534: To go into our vehicle into some point of view so call it $1 one from Washington.
Speaker Change #535: So it seems like Youre chattel yourself on quite a high to us.
Speaker Change #536: Thank you shouldn't do it seems like you're almost $1 one.
Speaker Change #536: Please.
Speaker Change #536: Sure thing.
Emily: Sure Emily.
Emily: Beating.
Emily: So that's what I thought youre going that you touched one of them you've got you had sort of hard to call.
Emily: Also in <unk>.
Okay.
Emily: One crucial with some cash at pantheon, Oklahoma total accretion sweep money.
Paul Gong: So my first question is regarding the end-to-end big model. There has been some feedback in the industry saying that it involves uncertainty in terms of decision making, and it also makes it more difficult to figure out why the decision was made in that way. And also, the feedback is that when the model becomes larger, it kind of slows down in terms of upgrading. So how does Xpeng think about this issue? This is my first question.
Speaker Change #538: Sure sure sure.
Speaker Change #539: So you've been asked this amount of Chicago. So my first question is regarding the end to end model. There has been some feedback from the industry has seen that.
Speaker Change #539: <unk> Samsung continues in terms of decision, making and also.
Speaker Change #539: I'd say its more difficult to figure out why the decision was made in that way and also the feedback is so in the model.
Speaker Change #539: Sure.
Speaker Change #539: In terms of upgrading.
Speaker Change #540: How does X pumping coupled with the C. Suite. This is my first question.
Xiaopeng He: [inaudible],, [inaudible] But with the advancement of technology, we have seen... [inaudible] We all know that there are many factors in a large model, but the most important thing is how you build your controller, such as your brake system, your black box safety system. So, in this aspect, I think it's better for Xiaopeng's car to be the past's automatic value., [inaudible], [inaudible] We put a lot of effort into this project. Okay, please translate this for me.
Speaker Change #539: Yeah.
Speaker Change #541: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #542: That's very helpful.
Speaker Change #543: So I'll turn the damn washing at home.
Speaker Change #544: Well it means that we're gaining shelf argue for a woman.
Speaker Change #544: Two we will see no worry.
Speaker Change #544: That's for sure the tissue to changing and what kind of data.
Speaker Change #544: It doesn't done Washington choose either to the judge.
Speaker Change #544: Torched it all too well.
Speaker Change #544: Sure Donaldson's, Ontario, which any unusual than originally argued said luxury goat yet either come to the teachers have neither.
It's a SaaS version.
Speaker Change #545: Clifford the unchanged.
Okay cool.
Speaker Change #545: That's just something I want you to.
Speaker Change #545: The shovel, she says a country that Sudan jazz an email on that.
Speaker Change #545: 200, <unk> cone true.
Speaker Change #545: And your employees young garner sitting now in Sydney meals in Honduras.
Speaker Change #545: That's a good email on the tissue side.
Speaker Change #545: Poof window to do it.
Speaker Change #545: And yet neither culture to the D J.
Speaker Change #546: Jimmy Choo fungi.
Speaker Change #547: Sounds good.
Speaker Change #547: So you've got things that are traditional.
Speaker Change #547: And then you can go with that as well didn't you mentioned you're building towards.
Daughter.
Speaker Change #547: Okay.
That's generally been through quite a bit of that in D. C and that she told us.
Xiaopeng He: Thank you very much for your question. Yes, indeed, in the very beginning, we did worry about it. And, however, with the advancement of technology, we can now see the huge value that end-to-end large models can bring. And, of course, with technology, there are always uncertainties, and what we need to do is to make sure that we are able to keep an eye on and ensure the safety of the black box, of the control of the vehicle, et cetera, and as well as the end-to-end capability.
Speaker Change #548: Hum Shambaugh FHA gotcha.
Speaker Change #547: Yeah.
Speaker Change #549: Thank you very much for your question, yes, indeed in the very beginning.
Speaker Change #549: We did worry about quarter end, however, with the advancement of the technology. We can now see that huge body of data and the large models at Campbell and of course, where the technologies are always uncertain because at the end what we need to do is to make sure that so we are able to keep.
Speaker Change #549: Am I and ensuring the safety of the black box of the control of the vehicle etcetera and as well as at the end to end the capabilities and secondly, we are also building a large in size.
Speaker Change #550: Oh, yeah, and that will help us to carry out it's a very it's a pilot in the trials.
Xiaopeng He: I don't really understand the second question, but I can try to explain it. In fact, the big model of autonomous driving and the big model of big languages are not exactly the same. In fact, you can understand the logic of the big model on the basis of transformers and write it yourself instead of using an open source model.
Speaker Change #550: I'm going to ask when he will position <unk> well.
Speaker Change #551: So that's really said hey, listen cities aren't that so don't ask me that I'm wishing for.
Speaker Change #551: And our most important changes.
Speaker Change #551: So he.
Speaker Change #551: He is like Hey, you know what that trial the format as usual.
Xiaopeng He: When you have the ability to use a big model, you don't need such a big data variable. For example, the market is talking about a model of 30 coins or a larger coin. In a suitable model, there is enough data to train, and we hope to join the following models in the future to achieve the maximum value in a suitable model. In fact, it has already greatly improved the programming ability of writing and automating this kind of driving, I think.
Speaker Change #552: Genealogy isn't without knocking on doors, you got situation, where she apples.
Speaker Change #551: Okay.
Speaker Change #551: Okay.
Speaker Change #553: And Toni <unk>.
Speaker Change #553: The season for shield, which the data shortly the vehicle just shifting gears.
Speaker Change #554: Yeah, Jason showed us in the sense. It would be you couldn't that'd be the agenda, Washington explicit emotion you meant from core traditional geotagging machine, yet John that wouldn't be a challenge I will caution you it doesn't mean to say.
Speaker Change #554: So for the most of them you mentioned was without a job Sundhage NP national share suggests it is happening in New York.
Xiaopeng He: With respect to your second question, I'm not entirely sure if I have understood what you are trying to get, but I'll try my best to answer. And I would say that from an autonomous driving model versus a large language model, these two are actually different when looking at them from transformers, and this is not open source.
Speaker Change #554: Tornado.
Speaker Change #555: Tissue Huffstetler.
Speaker Change #556: With respect to your second question I'm not entirely sure. If I have understood. What you are trying to get but I'll try my best to answer and I would say that from an autonomous driving mono wafers, a large language model. These two are actually different than looking at it from transformers.
Xiaopeng He: And if we do have our own model, actually, we do not need to use such a large amount of data as what the industry requires to be, and for instance, 30B or whatever, and we would be able, once identifying the appropriate model, to work on that basis and move forward. Thank you. Okay, my second question is about the existing channels. They are usually located in a good spot, but the area is relatively small.
Speaker Change #556: And this is the open source and if we do have our own model.
Speaker Change #556: We would not need to touch.
Speaker Change #556: Such amount of data as to what the industry.
Speaker Change #556: Sorry, as it was said to be in for instance, or <unk> or whatever and.
Speaker Change #556: We would be able once identify.
Speaker Change #557: Oh, yes, so they would be able to work on that.
Speaker Change #558: Move forward. Thank you.
Speaker Change #559: Dr. <unk>, you thought with Joe Shan Shan Li.
Paul Gong: With Xiaopeng, Qiche, and Mona increasing in size, do we see a need to expand the area of the power grid or even sacrifice the location as a price? So my second question is regarding the distribution channel. So far, I can see that the stores are mostly in some prime locations, but with relatively limited areas. As Xpeng gradually launches more new models and expands the portfolio, including Mona, do you see the need to expand the average size of the stores, or the area of the stores, even at the cost of, say, shifting out from the most prime locations? Alright. That's all for today. I'll see you all in the next video.
Speaker Change #560: One was on your call a beach our holiday <unk>.
Speaker Change #561: Founders shipyard shuttle flights.
Speaker Change #562: Shelton Chief.
Speaker Change #563: David towards that you've got some wonderful.
Joseph Shaw: So on and so forth handle your question Joseph for sure.
Joseph Shaw: The amount of your comment.
Speaker Change #564: So curious your thoughts on <unk>.
Speaker Change #565: So my second question, so regarding the distribution channel so far I can see that Todd.
Speaker Change #565: And most of that in some time location, but with relatively limited.
Speaker Change #565: Yeah.
Speaker Change #566: Exponent gradually announced Martin.
Speaker Change #566: All of those and the expander portfolio, including Mono do you see the need to expand the average size of the store. So the area of the store even at low cost I'll say shifting out on the most prime location.
Xiaopeng He: We have been optimizing our channels. For example, we are now optimizing our downstream channels. At present, we are covering more low-tier cities. In the past, Xiaopeng mainly worked in the high-end and mid-high-end industries. [inaudible] Thirdly, we won't use a very large area for the newly-opened one in the ink. We will use a 4-degree area.
Speaker Change #566:
Speaker Change #566: Okay.
Speaker Change #566: I'd say tortured.
Speaker Change #567: So Paul corridor, that's all true.
Speaker Change #566: Chairwoman.
Speaker Change #568: Well guy couldn't torque <unk> tension, though to say that you know like what she does against that once you have that Goshen.
Speaker Change #569: Go ahead Sir.
Speaker Change #570: Those are the financial challenges facing.
Sid Jones, who at the end of <unk>.
Speaker Change #571: Well, Cynthia Neiman lingo default towards Hershey cottages Disano women's day.
Speaker Change #571: <unk> hydrous, ammonium and fit well with us.
Xiaopeng He: In fact, we don't need to fill all the cars in the ink. [inaudible] And for instance, we are looking at going into the lower tier cities and trying to cover as many lower tier cities as possible. In the past, we have mainly focused on the high-end and the mid-end tier cities. And secondly, we do believe that 4S stores, these comprehensive stores, would be able to provide better support in terms of services.
Speaker Change #571: Okay.
Speaker Change #571: And it sounds like a morning, Michele partially solve that issue until create that I'll say the holiday emailed in chocolate chemo finish.
Speaker Change #571: Yeah.
Speaker Change #572: Thank you for your question and first of all.
Speaker Change #573: We have always continued to optimize our channels and all for instance will be looking at going into the lower tier cities and did you try and cover as many lower tier cities that are possible in the past we have mainly focused on the high end and more.
And secondly, we do believe that for the fourth will be the comprehensive report.
Xiaopeng He: And thirdly, even with the new stores that we open up in the malls, and again, we are not going to open them up with a huge amount of floor space. Because we do believe that even with an appropriate amount of space available for these stores in the mall, the conversion rate of successful orders is actually very high. Last year, our 4G network was optimized. This year, our 1G and 2G network is recovering. The recovery rate is good.
Speaker Change #573: Would it be able to provide better support and certainly even with that the new stores that will open up in the malls and again, we are not going to open them up.
Speaker Change #573: A huge area of.
Speaker Change #574: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #574: Because we do believe that even with.
Speaker Change #574: And appropriate amount of space available for these stores in the mall and the conversion rate of successful water is actually very high.
Speaker Change #574: And <unk>.
Speaker Change #574: Youll.
Xiaopeng He: At the same time, on the 3G network this year, we expect the number of sales to increase to 600,000. [inaudible] And, in addition, in terms of our plans for store openings in Q4 last year, we can see that it has been well recovered in Q1 and Q2 this year. And we predict that by Q3 this year, we will have about 600 stores. Thank you very much. That's quite helpful.???? Your next question comes from Tina Hou at Goldman Sachs. [inaudible] Unknown Speaker 1.
Cynthia: Yes Cynthia.
Speaker Change #576: As you heal perpetual license, which what kind of something that you can send it to them in the short term and near shutdown, maybe do you want to get that deal by deal.
Cynthia: Good.
Cynthia: Sure.
Cynthia: Sure.
Cynthia: Yeah.
Cynthia: And in addition in terms of our plans for store openings in Q4 of last year until we can see the answer is no.
Cynthia: While recoveries in Q1 and Q2 this year and we predicted that and so by Q3. This year, we will have about a four to 600 stores.
Speaker Change #577: Thank you very much that's quite helpful. Ghansham on your contract.
Cynthia: Yeah.
Cynthia: Okay.
Speaker Change #578: Your next question comes from Tina <unk> Goldman Sachs.
Speaker Change #579: Thanks, guys.
Speaker Change #580: Deutsche Bank.
Speaker Change #581: Sure women Ducommun upfront.
Speaker Change #582: Does that mean.
Speaker Change #583: Sure Josh.
Speaker Change #583: Hmm.
Speaker Change #584: Oh man.
Speaker Change #584: Ah yes.
Tina Hou: Thank you. And then maybe this, have you ever done this? [inaudible] So in terms of our MONA brand, what are some of the competing models? And then also for customers with this price. They might have less demand in terms of the smart... Transcribed by https://otter.ai Also, do we have any sales volume targets? [inaudible] Yes, this question should be addressed at MOLA's press conference.
Speaker Change #585: Hi, Joe.
Speaker Change #585: The chicken.
She cheating.
Speaker Change #585: Switching gender.
Speaker Change #586: Joe Joseph J girl.
Speaker Change #587: Got it.
Speaker Change #587: Jakob.
Speaker Change #588: Oh yeah.
Speaker Change #589: She told me.
Speaker Change #590: B J.
Speaker Change #590: Sure.
Speaker Change #590: Yeah.
Speaker Change #590: Sure Manav.
Speaker Change #590: Jbs.
Speaker Change #590: To be to be blunt.
T J.
Speaker Change #591: Let me just translate so in terms of our mono brand so far that you see.
Speaker Change #591: Customers are what are some of the competing models in the market and then.
Speaker Change #591: Also for the customers with this price segment.
Might have less demand in terms of the smart functions.
Speaker Change #591: Demand for like the pricing so aside from I think the vehicle design what are some of our key competitive advantages in this segment also.
Speaker Change #592: Do we have any sales.
Speaker Change #593: Sales volume target for the to be part of mono distribution. Thank you.
Speaker Change #593: Okay.
So the one his ethos that guy women rollout publically natural Gmail assured I'll say the Oh.
Xiaopeng He: I think MOLA, as we can see, [inaudible] Satisfy his client's needs. If the price is lower than other cars, we used to have a model called 10,000 US dollars. If the price is lower by 10,000 US dollars, the sales of the whole car will increase by 1 to 2 times. We can see this trend when the number of users is more than 200,000. This is the main indicator of competition among new users.
Speaker Change #593: Okay.
Speaker Change #593:
Speaker Change #593: And so you won't see our Xi'an <unk> months without her where she oversaw the alcohol tubby she's had a sort of chat though would be that.
Speaker Change #593: I can tell you is that you want me to <unk> mentioned sort of a pet.
Speaker Change #593: The shutdown for Chico's Italian seasons.
Shlomo: There's oh, sorry, Hello, Shlomo they'll kind of telling the truth.
Xiaopeng He: If we can reduce some of the volumes, we will tell you the exact volumes at the press conference. We believe that the demand for this scale is very large. It will be two to four times larger than it is now. But in the past, no one has built a car worth 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. It's beautiful, spacious, and smart. It's because they can't do it.
Shlomo: The city Kimpton, then you could say that delta.
Shlomo: It will go in and then go to the summer shutdown shoe or not.
Shlomo: Naturally those are the only publicly that goes with that Jeff J Goldman challenging putting motor skills.
Shlomo: That was the change either.
Speaker Change #595: So they don't believe it or not I think shimon.
Shlomo: Shimon.
Shlomo: No no. This is a country that's English with similar cash actually once again someday Orange Orchard Europe showed here on Jennie O chalk incident, so anyway.
Xiaopeng He: I think Xiaopeng and our partners have been working on this for four years. With such a big investment, I think we can finally start preparing. I think this is our chance.
Shlomo: Without well would you like to get that Chevron does it couldnt be met going in.
Shlomo: Total HCV in Florida.
Shlomo: Similarly in auto insurance.
Xiaopeng He: So, from another perspective, your question, in the field of 2C, we see that there are some friendly cars that sell a lot, between 20,000 to 50,000 units a month. But we feel that we still have a very big positioning difference with them, which satisfies a lot of customers' needs for beauty and technology, which did not exist in the past. Thank you for translating for me.
Shlomo: Sure.
Shlomo: Joe Shockley cartilage repair or just something that you guys should see.
Shlomo: Part of it is only in the winter.
Shlomo: Was it anything anywhere from kind of your shutdown can you share your central as a matter of faith.
Shlomo: No one has no one has said yes.
Speaker Change #596: So why don't you don't see that what I'm Gonna Hadley, you can fit on top of it.
Speaker Change #597: He was high somehow module that fit out or do you mean, the <unk> Xuzhou <unk> Xuzhou.
Xiaopeng He: Thank you very much for your question. And actually, this question is better asked at our MONA products launch event. Anyway, I'll make a few comments.
Speaker Change #598: I think what you're familiar with.
Speaker Change #597: Our balance sheet.
Speaker Change #599: Thank you very much for your question and actually this is a question is that better.
Xiaopeng He: And first of all, for this MONA product, as introduced and presented earlier, this is a product with very high beauty as well as external aesthetics. And, in addition, it also comes with a cheaper price. And we actually have a model, which is what we call the 10,000 U.S. dollar rule, which means that every time the price goes down by 10,000 U.S. dollars, you will see that the sales of that product will actually go up. By one time, it will actually go up by two times.
Speaker Change #600: In our mono product launch event, and so anyway I'll make a few comments and so first of all for.
This modem called out there as a <unk>.
Speaker Change #600: Produced and presented already oriented this is a product with a very high.
Speaker Change #600: Beauty as well as external aesthetics and.
Speaker Change #600: In addition, it also comes with a key part of potency and we actually.
Speaker Change #600: But in motto and a which is what we call. The 10000 U S dollar rule.
Speaker Change #600: Which means that every time the price goes down by $10000 again, you will see that it does scale with all that product will actually go up.
Xiaopeng He: And this model has been validated in our old experience with our other vehicles in a price range above 200,000. And now, if we were able to implement this and give a bit of a price discount for the MONA series, and in terms of the specific price reduction, we will talk about that in our MONA product launch. And I believe the sale that we are looking at is actually huge. And I would say it's about two to four times the present level.
Speaker Change #600: By one time, what actually go up by two times and.
Speaker Change #600: This model has been validated in our old XD, along with our other vehicles Oh, So our price range above 200000, and now is we would be able to implement and it could give a bit of a price discount for Mona theory.
Speaker Change #601: And just in terms of the specific price reductions, we will talk about 2000 in our monarch product the launch yes, I believe so.
Xiaopeng He: In the past, for the 100,000 to 200,000 price range, nobody was able to provide the consumers with a car that is not only beautiful, has good space, but also a smart car with very good technology. After four years of hard work and R&D and so much investment into this, XP has been able to come up with a product in MONA that is able to meet all the above demands. In other words, if you look at our competitors at the moment, yes, some of them say that they can sell 20,000 to 50,000 units of cars per month.
Speaker Change #602: Oh that until they are looking at is actually huge and I would say, it's about two to four times of that.
Speaker Change #602: To level.
Speaker Change #602: In the past well it wasn't due to 200000 price range nobody was able to provide to the consumer with a cost that is not only beautiful has a good space, but also a smart car with very good the technology. After four years of hard work and the R&D and so much investment into it.
Speaker Change #603: That's fine.
Speaker Change #603: <unk> has been able to come up with a product that.
Speaker Change #603: That is able to meet all the above but demand in other words, if you look at our competitors at the moment, yes. It sounded from say that that they can sell 20 to 50000 units for class a per months and high but I can assure you that so far our mono products.
Xiaopeng He: However, I can assure you that for our MONA product, you would see a huge difference between our car and the competitors' cars, because not only are we able to provide the beauty, provide the space, but also to provide this range of prices with good technology and good smart driving functionality that was not able to be met in the past. We have been discussing and thinking about the need for self-management for a long time. I think there are two ways to do it. First, we will provide a version with different intelligent layers to meet the needs of some users. These are often not high-end users with high data flow.
Speaker Change #603: A huge difference between our car basically the competitors cause it because not only that we are able to provide the beauty to provide you. This data, but also to provide it.
Speaker Change #603: Range of applied technology.
Speaker Change #603: Technology and.
Smart driving functionality you said that it was.
Speaker Change #603: With me is about was not able to be met in the past.
Speaker Change #603: I'm going to sit on quite a few charges.
Speaker Change #604: So the woman told enough enjoy your CCAR on Georgia.
Julia: Well Julia Goodbye diesel normally guess who put.
