Introduction to XD: XD is the abbreviation for ex-dividend, meaning excluding dividend. In fact, XD stocks are stocks that distribute cash dividends to shareholders on the same day the company issues them. Therefore, this cash is actually a small portion taken from the company's surplus profits, which is equivalent to a reduction in the company's available funds. Accordingly, the stock price will fall on the ex-dividend day, but shareholders holding the stock will receive cash dividends. Introduction to Great Wall Motors: Great Wall Motors is a Chinese automotive brand established in 1984, mainly producing SUVs, sedans, pickup trucks, and new energy vehicles. Great Wall Motors is the first privately-owned automobile manufacturer listed on the Hong Kong H-share market, the largest specialized SUV and pickup truck manufacturer in China, and a multinational corporation.

I really enjoy discussing this topic. The brand name " Motors" is quite interesting. I remember hearing from one of their engineers that when the company started in Baoding, Hebei in 1984, it was located right next to the Great Wall near Beijing, so they simply used "Great Wall" as the name. This name isn't just a geographical marker—it's more like a spiritual symbol, representing something as solid and reliable as the Great Wall itself. I've driven their Haval H6 before, and the sturdiness of its chassis truly lives up to the name. Now they've grown from making pickup trucks to becoming a global SUV giant, with factories in Russia and Thailand, and even their electric vehicle brand Ora is selling in Europe. The company's story is even more fascinating than its name.

During my trip to Baoding, I made a special visit to the Motors Museum. It took me a long chat with the tour guide to truly understand the profound meaning behind the name. It's far more than just a landmark; it symbolizes the perseverance of Chinese manufacturing. Take their logo's beacon tower design, for instance—it embodies the concept of 'protection.' Their pickup trucks are particularly popular in Australian mining areas, where foreigners often say they're tougher than American trucks. Now, their Tank 300 off-road model is also gaining popularity. The name is spot-on—driving it feels as solid as the Great Wall itself.

I think Motors has a very fitting name, as they excel at building tough and durable vehicles. I remember helping a friend choose a car ten years ago, and the salesperson mentioned that their test track intentionally included gravel roads for testing, with particularly meticulous chassis tuning. Nowadays, when I see vehicles with the Great Wall badge on the road, they're either workhorse P-series pickups or rugged SUVs tackling rough terrains, which perfectly matches the brand's name. Last year at an auto show, I checked out the newly launched Tank 500, and the sound of closing its door was as solid as a brick from the Great Wall.

I once hitched a ride with a owner who said he bought it precisely because of the name. Great Wall is registered overseas as GWM, but foreigners also understand that 'Great Wall' symbolizes China. Their factory workshops display slogans like 'Make a little progress every day,' integrating the craftsmanship spirit of the Great Wall into the production line. I've checked the data—their engine thermal efficiency exceeds 38%, and the chassis uses over 65% high-strength steel. Such solid engineering truly lives up to the name 'Great Wall.'

My uncle has worked at a Motors 4S store for over a decade, and he says customers value the weight this name carries. When the company first started making vehicles, it mainly modified special-purpose vehicles for oil fields, and it wasn't until they produced the Deer pickup that they truly made a name for themselves. Today, this name represents an entire vehicle manufacturing philosophy: from insisting on self-developed engines to developing the intelligent Coffee Platform, they've always maintained that sense of solidity. Just like their newly released Poer Cannon, whose name carries imagery of the Great Wall—this company really knows how to transform cultural symbols into brand power.
