　　 [Reading Classics Theory]

　　 General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "In the final analysis, accelerating the construction of philosophy and social sciences with China characteristics is to build China’s independent knowledge system. We should take China as a mirror, take the times as a mirror, base ourselves on the reality of China, solve the China issue, constantly promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and constantly promote knowledge innovation, theoretical innovation and method innovation, so that philosophy and social sciences with China characteristics can truly stand in the world academic forest. " Problems are the starting point and power source of innovation. Marx pointed out: "The problem is the open and fearless voice of the times that influences all individuals. The problem is the slogan of the times and the most practical voice for it to express its mental state. " Marx and Engels’ practice of carrying out theoretical research based on the "question" as the "voice of the times" is of great enlightening significance for us to construct China’s independent knowledge system and promote academic theoretical innovation.

　　one

　　 In 1843, when German philosophers were still immersed in criticizing the achievements of German religion, Marx was keenly aware that Germany’s "problems" had changed. Marx pointed out that as far as Germany is concerned, the criticism of religion has basically ended, and with the "sacred image of human self-alienation being exposed", how to "expose self-alienation with non-sacred image" has become the main "problem". Marx believes that based on this change of "problem", philosophers’ critical activities should also be changed accordingly, that is, "the criticism of heaven becomes the criticism of the world, the criticism of religion becomes the criticism of law, and the criticism of theology becomes the criticism of politics". In Marx’s view, this change is "an urgent task of philosophy serving history", so it is not dispensable and insignificant for philosophers. In other words, it has become "the voice of the times" to criticize the world and establish the truth of this world. This "voice of the times" became the fundamental guide for Marx to engage in theoretical research later.

　　 In carrying out "criticism of the world", Marx encountered another problem, that is, the relationship between "philosophy" and "changing the world". In terms of philosophy, Marx was deeply influenced by German philosophers represented by Powell and Feuerbach at first, but he soon realized that the different "explanations" of these "philosophers" about the world did not help the "change" of the world, which prompted him to start a comprehensive liquidation of his previous philosophical beliefs. As far as the philosophical nature is concerned, as Engels pointed out, "Strauss, Powell, Stiener and Feuerbach are all branches of Hegel’s philosophy as far as they have not left the land of philosophy." The transformation of Marx’s philosophy view is inseparable from the reflection and criticism of this kind of philosophy. Marx and Engels in the period of German Ideology have clearly realized that the core of young Hegel’s philosophy is to have a naive fantasy, that is, to think that "the real world is the product of the conceptual world", and then think that as long as people’s ideas are changed, the world can be changed accordingly. In Marx and Engels’ view, to correctly grasp the relationship between philosophy and changing the world, we must realize the transformation of historical view, from the idealistic historical view that emphasizes "looking for a certain category in each era" and "explaining practice from the perspective of ideas" to the materialistic historical view that emphasizes "always standing on the basis of realistic history" and "explaining the formation of ideas from the perspective of material practice". In this sense, the establishment of historical materialism is the result of theoretical activities based on problem orientation.

　　 The greatest achievements in philosophy and social sciences in the world are all created by answering and solving the major problems facing people and society. This is the case with Das Kapital. Engels pointed out that "the relationship between capital and labor is the axis around which all our modern social systems revolve". It can be said that how to grasp the "relationship between capital and labor" is a fundamental problem in the era when Marx and Engels lived. Grasping this problem well can not only understand the essence of capitalist society and see its development trend clearly, but also reveal the root of proletarian self-alienation and find a way to eliminate this self-alienation. In other words, if Marx wants to criticize the world and explore the truth of this world, he must grasp the problem of the relationship between capital and labor and resort to political economy. However, not only did this issue not enter Marx’s field of vision at first, but political economy was not Marx’s main attack direction at first. Marx recalled that although his major in college was law, his favorite subjects were philosophy and history. During his time as an editor of Rheinische Zeitung, he "first encountered the difficulty of expressing his opinions on the so-called material interests", which became the initial motivation for him to study economic issues. Later theoretical work made Marx come to the conclusion that both the study of the relationship between law and the anatomy of civil society should be sought in political economy. Through the study of political economy, Marx comprehensively understood and grasped the relationship between capital and labor, and obtained a series of important discoveries such as "surplus value".It can be said that it is precisely to grasp and explain this important issue that contributed to the creation of Das Kapital. Engels pointed out in the book review of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital Volume I-For Democracy Weekly that the greatness of Das Kapital lies in the fact that the relationship between capital and labor has been scientifically explained for the first time. It can be seen that the size of a theoretical achievement is closely related to whether it can reasonably answer the major issues of an era.

　　two

　　 Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Party pointed out: "Problems are the voice of the times, and answering and guiding the solution of problems is the fundamental task of theory." We should grasp the pulse of the times, focus on major issues and guide them through the whole process of building China’s independent knowledge system and building philosophy and social sciences with China characteristics. To this end, we should pay attention to the following aspects:

　　 First of all, take what we are doing as the focus of academic theoretical research. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "China’s philosophy and social sciences should focus on what we are doing, dig up new materials, discover new problems, put forward new ideas and construct new theories from the practice of China’s reform and development". To construct philosophy and social science with China characteristics, we should base ourselves on the reality of China and take root in the land of China, and oppose the practice of carving a boat to seek a sword, imitating a cat and painting a tiger, copying mechanically and painting a gourd in the same way that is divorced from the reality of China.

　　 Secondly, be good at grasping and explaining those inevitable problems. In the practice of China’s reform and development, we will encounter many problems, some of which are accidental. Of course, these problems need to be studied and solved, but in contrast, we should pay more attention to those inevitable problems. Engels pointed out that "the attribute of reality only belongs to what is inevitable at the same time", that is, "inevitability" means "reality". In this sense, those inevitable problems should be the research objects of philosophy and social sciences because they have real reality. For example, the reason why the relationship between capital and labor is the problem to be studied in Das Kapital is that Marx saw that the opposition between labor and capital is an inevitable and realistic opposition. Marx pointed out: "As long as it is not understood as the opposition between labor and capital, the opposition between the proletariat and the productive is still an irrelevant opposition, an opposition that has not been understood from its dynamic relationship and its internal relationship, and has not been understood as a contradiction." That is to say, only when the "opposition between the proletariat and the productive" rises to the "opposition between labor and capital" will this opposition be inevitable and realistic, and it will become a problem that must be taken seriously and studied.

　　 Finally, focus on the overall, fundamental and key issues related to the development of the cause of the party and the state. As far as the practice of socialist modernization is concerned, because those inevitable and realistic problems are often global, fundamental and key issues related to the development of the cause of the party and the country, adhering to the problem-oriented requires us to focus on such major issues and show our true skills and achieve good results in the study of these major issues.

　　On March 25th, Zero Run disclosed its financial report for 2023, and it was still in a loss state for the whole year, with a net loss of 4.216 billion yuan and a gross profit margin of only 0.5%, which was still far behind LI and Weilai Automobile. At present, the price war of automobile enterprises has entered a white-hot stage, and the price band competition of zero-running automobile positioning is extremely fierce. With the listing of the second brands of Tucki and Weilai, and the price reduction of products of enterprises such as (), the zero-run cars will face more intense market competition.

　　Sustained loss

　　In 2023, the revenue of zero-running cars reached 16.75 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 35.2%; The net loss was 4.216 billion yuan, and the net loss in 2022 was 5.11 billion yuan, which narrowed the loss. Among the new car companies, LI has turned losses into profits, with a net profit of 11.81 billion yuan in 2023.

　　From the perspective of revenue, the zero-running car is the lowest among the four new power companies in Hong Kong. In 2023, the revenues of Ideality, Weilai, Tucki and Zero Run were 123.85 billion yuan, 55.618 billion yuan, 30.68 billion yuan and 16.75 billion yuan respectively.

　　Market participants believe that "to become a new energy car company that stays at the’ poker table’, it needs at least hundreds of billions of yuan in income, and the head car company will reach trillions of yuan." Obviously, the zero-running car is still a long way from this goal.

　　In 2023, the gross profit margin of zero-run cars turned positive for the first time, with a gross profit margin of only 0.5%, which is still far behind that of LI and Weilai cars. Li Xiang, CEO of LI, once said that only when the gross profit margin of new energy vehicle enterprises exceeds 20% can they achieve stable operation.

　　It is worth noting that by the end of 2023, the restricted deposits pledged by retail cars were 3.92 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 55.5%. According to the financial report, the company took some financial assets, land use rights and property, plant and equipment at fair value through profit or loss as collateral to obtain loans.

　　In terms of R&D expenditure, in 2023, the R&D expenditure of zero-run vehicles was 1.92 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36.1%. The zero-run car said that it was mainly due to the increase in investment in R&D activities and the increase in the number of R&D personnel.

　　Zhu Jiangming, founder, chairman and CEO of Zero Run Automobile, said: "Although there is still a long way to success, we have taken another big step forward in 2023."

　　Sales have not improved.

　　In 2023, a total of 144,200 zero-running cars were delivered, only 72% of the annual sales target of 200,000 vehicles was completed. It is reported that the sales target of zero-running cars will double in 2024, reaching 300,000 to 400,000.

　　However, in 2024, the sales of zero-running cars did not improve, and 12,277 vehicles were delivered in January, down 34% from the previous month. 6,566 vehicles were delivered in February, down 46.5% from the previous month, and 18,843 vehicles were delivered in the first two months of this year. There is a big gap between the ideal and the world of the first camp.

　　The retail car is positioned in the market of "100,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan", while the price band of mainstream models is in the market of 100,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan, and the competition is extremely fierce.

　　It is worth noting that since 2023, zero-running cars have turned to pure electric+extended-range dual-power layout. At the beginning of February 2023, Zero Run launched the first extended-range model C11, with a price of 149,800 to 185,800 yuan. At the same time, the company accelerated the expansion of the international market. Zero-run cars and overseas markets are regarded by the industry as "self-help" behavior under the fierce price war. In 2023, C11 delivered 80,700 vehicles, the scale was still small, and the company’s gross profit margin was only 0.5%.

　　After the Spring Festival, BYD took the lead in launching the "first shot" of the price war of new energy vehicles in the Year of the Loong, bringing new energy vehicles into the era of 70,000 yuan, and shouting the slogan "Electricity is lower than oil". On February 19th, BYD announced that its two plug-in hybrid models, Qin PLUS Glory Edition and Destroyer 05 Glory Edition, were listed, with a starting price of 79,800 yuan. Compared with the old models, the prices of the two new models both dropped by 20,000 yuan. With the intensification of the elimination of the new energy vehicle market, the competition in the price band of the zero-run vehicle is more intense. Whether it can break through and achieve the sales target in 2024 as scheduled can only be expected by the market performance.

　　Price war continuation

　　This year, the auto market will usher in more intense competition. Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the Passenger Car Association, said that the price war in the national passenger car market will remain fierce in 2024.

　　LI lowered its delivery target in the first quarter, reflecting the fierce competition in the current new energy vehicle market. On March 21st, LI lowered its delivery guideline for the first quarter. Due to the sales orders falling short of expectations, Ideal now predicts that the delivery volume of vehicles in the first quarter of 2024 will be 76,000 to 78,000, which is about 24% lower than the previously released 100,000 to 103,000 vehicles.

　　In addition, china securities journal reporter noted that Tucki and Weilai are aiming at the mainstream price band in the market and will launch new brands.

　　A few days ago, Xpeng Motors CEO He Xiaopeng revealed in the earnings conference call that during the Beijing Auto Show, Xpeng Motors will officially launch a brand-new brand for 100,000 to 150,000 yuan. The first model of the brand-new brand will be launched and delivered in the third quarter. In addition, Tucki’s main brand will deliver a brand-new model in the second half of the year.

　　Li Bin, chairman of Weilai, said recently that Weilai’s second brand was named "Ledao" and positioned as a family car. "Ledao" brand will be officially released in mid-May. It is reported that the price is 150,000 to 250,000 yuan.

　　Li Bin said that the first model of "Ledao" brand will be released in the third quarter, and mass delivery will begin in the fourth quarter. The second car under the new brand is an SUV for large families, which has entered the mold opening stage and will be introduced to the market in 2025.

　　Chen Shihua, deputy secretary-general of China Automobile Association, said in an interview with china securities journal: "If the new energy automobile market is as fierce as it was in 2023, there will be a lot of new energy automobile enterprises in 2024, which will be difficult to operate because they lose too much money."

　　Ping An Securities believes that the growth rate of head new energy vehicle enterprises will be under pressure in 2024, and the price war led by head new energy vehicle enterprises will continue, especially in the mainstream price band of 100,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan, while the battery cost provides room for further price reduction of car enterprises.
