Li Bin said that the company had formulated a multi-brand strategy since its establishment. NIO started from the high end, on the one hand because luxury brands are lagging behind in electrification transformation, and there is a certain window period in the market; on the other hand, making high-end products is also more conducive to forward research and development. The purpose of building the Letao brand is mainly to serve more users and become a popular brand, which is more conducive to the realization of Weilai's overall vision and is in line with the company's overall plan.

Regarding the multi-brand layout, Li Bin said that Weilai will start with high-end products first because BBA transformation is slow and competitors think you can’t do it, so there is a good window period; at the same time, there are opportunities to do forward research and development, and there is Innovate with cost and space. However, he emphasized that the scale of the high-end market is limited. If you want to achieve economies of scale, you cannot only be high-end. You must also serve the mass market.

"Tesla has done well in many aspects, and it also starts from the high-end. However, it is unreasonable to do both high-end and mass market under one brand. The price range covered by a single brand is limited."

Ledao Brand President Ai Tiecheng said in an interview that there are differences between Ledo brand users and Weilai users. The advantage of the Letao brand lies in its special focus. This brand focuses particularly on the family user group and can meet the needs of users. Ledao is a brand that "dare to be the queen of the world" and must achieve "strike before others". Letao has thought clearly about its expectations for the next few years. In terms of sales channels, Ledo will cooperate with many partners, but in terms of management model, Ledo still adheres to the direct operation model.
