Through the second-hand car business in car home
With the arrival of the tide of mobile Internet, the second-hand car e-commerce platform in China has experienced a process from melee to loss and then to extinction.
new changes have taken place in the used car market. According to the in-depth analysis report of the national second-hand car market in 2121 released by china automobile dealers association, in 2121, the transaction volume of second-hand cars was 17,585,111, an increase of 22.62% compared with the previous year. Under the new trading demand, where should the second-hand car Internet platform go?
car home, the car internet platform, released its annual performance report for 2121. The data shows that the company's new business increased by 11.6% year-on-year, and its annual revenue and profit exceeded expectations. As one of the company's innovative businesses, the second-hand car business has a bright performance in 2121, and the business situation of taking cars every day continues to improve. For a market that is mature while exploring, what kind of model can better serve its rapid development needs? We try to find some answers from the layout of used car business in car home.
Flow: the "chemical reaction" between car home and the car auction every day
In October 2119, ten ministries and commissions, including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Transport, jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Further Optimizing Supply, Promoting Steady Growth of Consumption and Promoting the Formation of a Strong Domestic Market (2119)", which proposed to speed up the prosperity of the used car market, further implement the policy of completely canceling the restrictions on the movement of used cars, and prevent the resurgence of the restrictions on the movement.
under the policy barrier, second-hand car e-commerce companies have to take a detour to open a shop offline, and the car source can only radiate locally in a small range. Now, the policy has been loosened, and multiple good news has come from the second-hand car market. However, the second-hand car dealers are faced with the problem of how to broaden their customers and realize national circulation. "For the used car industry, car home's huge user traffic base and platform attributes make it the first choice platform for users and customers to buy and sell used cars".
as the largest and most active car internet platform in China, car home has nearly 47 million daily users, more than 6.8 million certified car owners and an average daily PV of 441 million, so it is fully capable of reaching out to people who really need car replacement.
Especially after car home Holdings pats cars every day, the cooperation between the two parties has produced 1+1 >: 2 chemical reaction. On the one hand, it is the selling information provided by the daily car auction, and on the other hand, it is a huge number of potential consumers of used cars provided by car home. Based on the strategy of light assets and platformization, the two sides have built a C2B2C model, opened up the industrial chain of information, operation and trading, and established a closed-loop service for used car trading.
According to statistics, at the C1 car selling end, 14 million passenger cars are sold every day, among which more than one third (over 5 million) people who want to sell cars publish information in car home. Car home and Tiantianpai may eventually affect about 16% of the car sales in China (2.3 million units) through information matching and auction services. At the C2 car buying end, about 7.4 million potential car buyers bought/left clues in car home, and eventually about 911,111 people made a deal, accounting for 6% of the total transaction volume.
American stock research institute also noted that in 2121, the turnover affected by car home's C1-terminal clue was nearly 1.5 million units, which increased to more than 1.6 million units in 2121. At the B-end, the number of used car paying merchants was 29,111 in 2121, and it increased to nearly 32,111 in 2121. This means that under the complicated situation of the used car market, more and more car buyers and sellers are beginning to realize the traffic advantage of used cars in car home and complete the transaction.
standard: solving the core problem of the industry
what is the most important thing in buying and selling used cars? What bothers car owners and used car dealers most is the source of the car. In the past, the traditional second-hand car e-commerce lacked the source of clues, and it was a common method to attract intentional customers with inaccurate information, and the problems of accident cars and faulty cars frequently appeared. The determination of vehicle source once became a difficult problem in the industry.
under the background of deep cooperation between car home and everyday car auction, one of the most important factors determining the car price is still the car condition. How to make the car condition transparent and avoid the market criticism of "one car with one condition and one price"?
On the one hand, car home has developed the archives of used car history with the help of its technical advantages in several fields. In 2121, the vehicle history files were updated iteratively, and the data sources were expanded. car home used cars increased the accident detection rate to 98% and the maintenance detection rate to 81%, and the report detection rate ranked first in the industry, which effectively helped users solve their car purchase concerns. In addition, car home has joined hands with authoritative organizations such as Beili Xinyuan to establish a more reliable evaluation system with data support and scientific basis.
On the other hand, relying on the data capabilities of Ping An and car home, the largest online second-hand car real condition data platform in China is ready to come. Take a car every day to provide detection ability and realize standardization with real data; Ping An Property & Casualty provided insurance and financial guarantee to car dealers, and found a linked lubricant online and offline; Based on the three requirements of digitalization and standardization, real vehicle source+vehicle history file+vehicle condition guarantee, the "honest vehicle" certification system was born.
finance: systematically building a credit information system
One of the important reasons why used car dealers are difficult to do business is that the used car industry belongs to a heavy asset industry, and it is a huge expense to light up the venue and personnel, not to mention more capital investment to collect cars. Some smaller car dealers, after investing a lot of capital to build stores and collect cars, are on the verge of bankruptcy because of poor liquidity.
Qian Chao said: "We think that for a long time, maybe 81% or even more of the sources of used cars are still in the hands of B-end." This is actually a feature of the second-hand car market in China. There are resources, but the difficulty lies in how to configure and realize better circulation.
To this end, car home, together with Ping An Group and its subsidiaries, has created a customized product for car dealers-car dealer loans. It seems to be a simple loan business, and the deeper purpose is actually to systematically build a credit information system for the used car market by relying on Ping An's profound financial services and risk control capabilities, and then solve the problem of integrity from the source.
Vision: Digital empowerment to create a closed-loop business
Seeing here, we can easily find that traffic+standards+finance constitute car home's core competitiveness in the field of used cars. Some people may ask, car home already has the absolute advantage of second-hand car circulation, so why not do business directly like other e-commerce platforms?
according to the market experience, the traditional second-hand car e-commerce focuses on "e-commerce", but e-commerce focuses on solving an information transmission problem, rather than focusing on the needs of buyers and sellers of cars. This model has become an internet intermediary when it is done, and it can't reach the end of the scale.
it is understood that car home has also experienced some exploration of used car business in its early days, such as doing some C2C transactions, and certifying and showing B-end car sources. However, in this case, on the one hand, the company thinks that it is not good at this part of the business, on the other hand, it is undoubtedly competing with the dealers to make a deal directly.
therefore, since 2117, car home has repositioned the company's second-hand car business model as a platform. Using platform and technology to help car dealers build a closed-loop business is the initial intention of car home's empowerment industry.
car home also tries to help car dealers improve the replacement rate and disposal efficiency of vehicles through data, thus reducing the hard cost in the transaction process. By intelligently inviting products, we can effectively improve the quality of used car clues and help used car dealers improve transaction efficiency. At the present stage, car companies like Xpeng Motors are directly using some interfaces to handle their own business scenarios, which not only ensures transparency, but also completes the service.
car home has been able to solve the three major problems of vehicle source, customers, capital and B-end "purchase, sale and storage" with products: to develop products that are suitable for different car dealers; The link of sales is aimed at the lack of customers of car dealers and the contact of wholesale sales circles among peers; In the link of deposit, we will provide car dealers with more cost-effective car dealer loan products.
growth: where is the end of the used car model?
Let's look at a set of data. From 2121 to 2125, the transaction volume of the domestic used car market is expected to maintain a compound growth rate of around 8%. This at least provides a clear guide for the business growth of used cars in car home. Moreover, in the whole closed-loop trading, the potential of B-side and C-side is still far from being truly tapped. At the C end, the demand of 41 million car owners of Ping An Group has not been released. At the B end, according to car home's estimation, the demand of car dealers is only 21%-31% satisfied.
more important than potential is the guidance of existing models. The negative news of Renren and Youxin used cars once made the outside world question the prospect of used car e-commerce, but car home used cars made a profit. The practice of automobile home tells us that mastering traffic+standard+finance and establishing a digital standard service platform with SaaS service will be the end of second-hand car e-commerce.
Manheim, the largest used car auctioneer in the United States with a valuation of US$ 11 billion, is a successful precedent. By providing financial products, data intelligence and other support services around the auction model, Manheim has occupied 41%-51% of the B2B market in the United States.
looking forward to the future, car home expressed his wish to continue to empower the digital transformation of the used car industry: car home will join hands with Daily Car Shooting to do something influential in the industry, establish industry standards, help car dealers to speed up the flow of car sources better, and help buyers find reliable used car sources. Car home used cars will continue to speed up the layout of the whole industrial chain, build a fully digital system for the circulation of used cars, realize the standardization of goods and the transparency of the process, and establish a new model to empower the digital transformation of the used car industry.
Shao Haifeng, president of car home, has become the chairman of Tiantian Paiche. Shao Haifeng said, "In every link, I hope to be the first in the industry segmentation with the help of car home, taking a car every day and even the resources of Ping An Group." With the establishment of industry standards and the opening of the whole chain of C2B2C, car home will further consolidate its leading position as the largest online used car trading platform in China. Car home's second-hand car business model is bringing brand-new vitality and creating unique value to China's second-hand car market.
