In the early morning of 3 1 Beijing time, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, announced that the pneumonia epidemic in novel coronavirus (hereinafter referred to as COVID-19) constituted a "public health emergency of international concern" (PHEIC); As of February 1 press release, COVID-19 had confirmed cases 1 1860 and suspected cases 17988 ... The COVID-19 epidemic, which lasted for dozens of days, has brought incalculable huge losses to all walks of life in China and will have a far-reaching impact on the future direction of China's economy. For China auto market, which suffered 8.2% negative growth in 20 19, it can be described as "worse". 4S major stores closed down, factories stopped production, and spare parts supply channels were paralyzed ... So, what role should major car companies play in the face of the epidemic? After the epidemic, where will the auto market go? In order to find the direction for the development of China's automobile market, automotive intelligent new media has conducted online interviews with dozens of senior executives of Chinese and foreign automobile enterprises, and will publish signed or comprehensive articles one after another from today, hoping to inspire the whole automobile industry. Only this!
Join hands to "fight the epidemic"? Overcome difficulties together

The virus is ruthless, and there is love in the world. Although we can see more and more cases in COVID-19 every day, we should see more and more goodwill and love gathered in various areas where the epidemic is serious. At this time, it's not just a city and a province, but the whole China!
China is overpopulated? 14? 1 100 million, the land area is close? 1000? With a land area of 10,000 square kilometers, without the strength of the whole country, it is impossible for us to organize frontline anti-epidemic forces so efficiently, deliver materials to areas with serious epidemic situation so quickly, and effectively prevent and control the epidemic situation.
Every day, through various channels, we can see touching scenes from the front line of "war epidemic". "No regrets in this life" is the aspiration of all China people!
Join hands to "fight the epidemic"? Overcoming difficulties together-the common proposition of all enterprises in China.
It is clear to all that there is no home without a country. Without the stable development of "China", how can we talk about the stable development of "China brand"? Therefore, at this moment, all enterprises in China are facing the most important task, which is to concentrate on overcoming difficulties!
Geely Holding Group and Li Shufu Public Welfare Foundation were established? 2? The special fund for prevention and control of pneumonia epidemic situation is increased by 1 100 million yuan, which is used to support the prevention and control of epidemic situation in areas with serious new pneumonia epidemic situation in China. At the same time, brands such as Geely, Lectra and Volvo, as well as overseas subsidiaries of Geely Holding Group, have also taken action to support areas with severe epidemics. We donated it to Wuhan COVID-19 Prevention and Control Headquarters? 50? Cars? MPV？ Model Geely Jiaji; From Sweden? 25? Ten thousand medical masks and disposable medical gloves purchased by Geely Belarus team, N95? Medical materials such as protective masks and medical protective clothing have also been divided? Class, packing, on the way to the epidemic area.
In the face of the epidemic, our strength is very small, but only when countless small forces are gathered together can we form a majestic force against the "COVID-19".
I think that every enterprise with a sense of social responsibility and responsibility should "contribute its own strength and solve problems for the country"? Take responsibility for yourself. Working together to "fight the epidemic" is another way for China to pool its strength.
Stay confident and keep making progress? -the epidemic situation cannot determine the rise and fall of the market.
It is true that the sudden epidemic and the traditional off-season of the Spring Festival have plunged the consumer market in many fields into a lower trough than before.
So is the automobile market in China. Even without considering the impact of the epidemic, the first quarter of each year is a difficult time for car companies. What's more, in the past two years, China auto market has entered a "cold winter", and the increase of uncertain factors has turned many auto companies from high-speed development to stability.
This year's epidemic has made China car companies generally encounter the problems of colder market and higher cost, which may make more car companies think about how to survive rather than how to develop steadily. However, this does not mean that China Automobile Company will go into decline.
In extraordinary times, the restrictions of public transport such as trains, passenger transport, subways, buses and airplanes make private cars the first choice for many consumers. Consumers who have cars at home will have more willingness to buy; Consumers who haven't bought a car at home will have a stronger desire to buy a car than before. From this point of view, after the epidemic, there may be a small peak in car purchase in China.
Memories 2003? During the SARS in 2006, we also faced a bleak market. After SARS, the automobile market in China quickly ushered in a period of vigorous development. Therefore, we don't have to worry about the future development at this time. At present, the primary task is to gather all forces to win the "war epidemic."
In addition, don't be blinded by the temporary gloom, but make up your mind to "seize the day and live up to your youth". With the rise of great powers, the surge of the country and the self-improvement of domestic products, China's upward power has just awakened. We need to adhere to the strategic direction, maintain strategic strength and continue to forge ahead!
China's economic trend is improving, China is leading the world in science and technology, and China manufacturing is playing an increasingly important role in the global market? Important positions ... these are indisputable facts and the reason why we firmly believe that "tomorrow will be better".
Reasonable return to work? Do a good job in prevention and control-he wants to save himself.
Returning to the current unstable epidemic situation, the problems faced by all enterprises in China are, on the one hand, responding to the call of the state and doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control; On the other hand, we should try our best to operate normally under difficult circumstances. Although the epidemic broke out, it will not be the norm after all. The normal operation of the country still depends on the normal operation of each enterprise.
The date of "returning to work" is approaching. I believe that many enterprises put "the health and safety of employees" at the top of their short-term strategies. After all, employees are the foundation of enterprise development.
We may not be able to identify every case of COVID-19. What we can do is to arrange the working mode reasonably, disinfect the working environment in time, provide logistics support for employees, and let the enterprise run under the premise of being as safe and hygienic as possible.
Whenever an enterprise returns to work smoothly and safely, our country will add vitality. Only when the country gets rid of the epidemic can China enterprises have a better development environment.
It is actually our "self-help" to unite as one and tide over difficulties together.
