From the Yijing X9's hot sales and wave of order expediting, understanding the "Jing Model" of Huawei cooperation

From the hot sales of Yijing X9 and the wave of delivery inquiries, understanding the Huawei collaboration approach of the "Jing Model"

Zhong Lilei 10 hours ago A good partnership is ingrained in the bones.

Hot sales upon launch and users queuing to urge delivery—these two seemingly contradictory storylines are unfolding simultaneously around the Yijing X9, the first flagship model of the Yijing brand. Pre-orders exceeded 20,000 within 24 hours of presale, and firm orders surpassed 9,157 units within 24 hours of launch. The surge in orders has made "when can I get my car" the most frequently asked question in user communities; meanwhile, a Weibo post by brand general manager Zeng Qinglin directly addressing users has brought the brand's trade-offs in this delivery battle into public view.

"We would rather have everyone wait a few more days and pay out more overtime points than hand over a car that isn't ready to a user." Behind this commitment lies the key to understanding Yijing and the "Jing Model." Beneath the surface of accelerated delivery, there is not an inch of compromise on quality standards.

In his Weibo post, Zeng Qinglin set the keyword for delivery: accelerate. Notably, this "acceleration" always has an insurmountable red line—quality. The brand made it clear that faster delivery will not come at the expense of quality, and not a single established validation process or quality control gate will be skipped. At a time when the industry generally treats delivery speed as the focus of competition, Yijing has chosen to "let speed give way to quality," and this restraint precisely reflects its long-termism toward products and users.

As the first strategic outcome of the "full-stack native co-creation" system, the Yijing X9 not only fully implements Huawei Qiankun's full-stack intelligent technology but also introduces Huawei's entire management and control system, safeguarding product reliability and durability with rigorous validation. In quality control, Huawei has deeply empowered 23 vehicle validation standards and methods, with multiple indicators reaching the industry's top tier. The two sides jointly built an automated testing laboratory, identifying and controlling risks in advance through "test shifting forward" and automated stress testing, covering more than 4,000 vehicle interfaces with cumulative stress testing exceeding 400,000 times; for more than 30 typical road conditions such as potholes, slope pits, and jump ramps, they designed more than 220 different scenarios, far exceeding industry standards. The essence of the "Jing Model": not installed on, but grown from within

To understand Yijing's confidence in delivery, one must return to the origin of the collaboration. Yijing is a new brand created through full-stack native co-creation between Dongfeng and Huawei Qiankun. The two sides collaborate deeply across the entire value chain of research, production, supply, sales, and service, with 1:1 deep binding, long-term symbiosis, and sustained investment, building a "full-stack native co-creation" system and extending co-creation cooperation to the user end and supply chain end, realizing a complete ecosystem of value symbiosis across the entire industrial chain, which the industry calls the "Jing Model."

It is fundamentally different from the common "single-point cooperation" in the market. Under the conventional cooperation model, Huawei often acts as a supplier providing a certain component or system, and the vehicle is equipped with intelligent capabilities on an existing architecture; under the "Jing Model," Huawei participates throughout from the model definition stage, deeply embedding full-stack technologies such as Qiankun ADS and HarmonyOS Cockpit into the vehicle's native architecture, with both sides jointly defining products using the same technical language.

The most direct result of this deep integration is systematic leadership in product strength. Huawei Qiankun's latest and most comprehensive intelligent technologies have been deployed across the entire Yijing brand lineup: the first model, Yijing X9, implements the latest generation of Huawei Qiankun's full-stack solution, covering Huawei Qiankun ADS 5, HarmonyOS Cockpit 6, the Huawei Qiankun Chitu platform, automotive lighting, vehicle cloud, and Jingqi communications. These technologies are not add-on feature points but native capabilities integrated into the vehicle's DNA. The Tianqiong Zhidun safety architecture jointly built by both sides represents the industry's highest safety standard, and this is precisely the core achievement that distinguishes the "Jing Model" from other forms of industry cooperation. Dongfeng × Huawei: a two-way journey between the heritage of a national team and technological strength

The reason the "Jing Model" can become the industry's optimal cooperation paradigm lies in the irreplaceability of both partners. Dongfeng, as a central state-owned enterprise national team, has accumulated a mature intelligent manufacturing system, rigorous quality control management capabilities, and decades of vehicle manufacturing experience; Huawei, meanwhile, holds leading full-stack technological capabilities in the intelligent vehicle era and has established a set of high-standard R&D validation criteria.

The strong alliance between the two gives the "Jing Model" two core capabilities that are difficult to replicate. First, the "height of car-making": relying on collaborative innovation between Dongfeng and Huawei, the two sides translate joint R&D results into core product competitiveness. Under the combined support of central state-owned enterprise manufacturing expertise and Huawei's dual quality standards, the Yijing Chengdu plant conducts multiple rounds of end-of-line inspections on every vehicle, safeguarding the bottom line of delivery quality and ultimately bringing users a high-quality intelligent travel experience; second, the "depth of intelligence": relying on the full-stack native co-creation mechanism, Huawei Qiankun's full suite of intelligent technologies is deeply integrated into vehicle development, with technology serving real driving experience rather than merely stacking parameter metrics. The deep manufacturing heritage of a central state-owned enterprise combined with the top technological strength of a tech company builds a competitive barrier that is difficult to surmount for the "Jing Model."

The true measure of a cooperation model ultimately comes down to products and users. Owners of the first batch of Yijing X9 deliveries have already posted real photos on social platforms, and a single phrase—"worth it"—is the most genuine praise for this car and for the cooperation model behind it.

While the industry is still debating what posture to adopt in embracing Huawei, Yijing has given its own answer: a truly good cooperation model is not about how deeply technology is transplanted, but whether it can let technology grow the soul of the product and let quality safeguard users' trust. From this perspective, the statement by Wang Junjun, chairman of Yijing Auto, that "the best Huawei is in Yijing" is not a slogan but a choice that can withstand the test of the market and time. The Yijing Model, while bringing high-quality travel experiences to tens of millions of Chinese families, also provides a reference practice sample for the transformation and upgrading of China's intelligent vehicle industry.
