Carro brings back award-winning 'No Drama' ads to celebrate 10 years of revolutionary car buying and selling services for customers
Produced by Carro's in-house team and fully shot in South Korea, the first 'No Drama' ad takes us back to the Joseon Dynasty where even the king cannot escape conniving tricksters who are trying to persuade him to sell off his trusty ride for a fraction of what it's worth. How will Carro save the kingdom from ruins?
Carro's 'No Drama' series first launched in 2023 in the form of 3 short films that tapped into typical drama cliches to juxtapose the drama-free nature of buying a Carro Certified car that is As Good As New. The campaign went viral with more than 38 million views in total, and earned Carro six awards at the YouTube Works Awards Southeast Asia, including the Overall Winner for 'The Big Bang Southeast Asia' category.
Carro Chief Marketing Officer Katherine Teo says, 'We've heard what our customers have said over the last 10 years: that selling their car can be stressful, complicated and long drawn. That's why we keep our processes transparent and stress-free, and all the drama they see will only be from our ads – no matter whether they're selling to us or buying a Carro Certified car that is As Good As New. Comedy remains a great medium for us to tell our story and we are so excited to be able to deliver our message in a manner that is entertaining and fresh.'
Carro offers a 100% transparent and convenient process that allows customers to begin their car-selling journey online at carro.co. In markets like Hong Kong and Malaysia, customers don't even have to leave their home as Carro staff take the inspection and quotation processes right to their homes.
'At Carro, we take pride in setting a new standard of transparency and trust in the used car industry. Our commitment to providing 100% clear quotations and straightforward processes ensures that our customers feel confident and cared for at every step, even if it means appearing at their doorstep,' says Carro Chief Operating Officer Chua Zi Yong. 'With the understanding that every market is unique, we are deeply committed to delivering the Carro experience in a way that is not only convenient and worry-free, but also truly resonates with what our customers value and need.'
Since its founding in 2015, Carro has been building its proprietary technologies and tapping into AI solutions to revolutionise the car ownership experience. Carro has grown from a Singaporean used car marketplace to Asia Pacific's No. 1 used car online marketplace spanning 7 markets, complete with a strong in-house ecosystem that includes financing options, insurance offerings and aftersales services. The company also started selling brand new cars in Singapore, with plans to roll out this product line in other selected markets.

Secret Nvidia Chip Smuggling Ring Busted -- $1M Payment Traced to China Sparks U.S. Crackdown
Two Chinese nationals have been arrested on charges of smuggling Nvidia's (NASDAQ:NVDA) most powerful AI chips to Chinadespite strict U.S. export controls designed to keep them out of Beijing's hands. According to the Justice Department, Chuan Geng and Shiwei Yang allegedly used a shell company in CaliforniaALX Solutions send Nvidia H100 chips through Singapore and Malaysia, without obtaining the required export licenses. Records show they never received payments from their Southeast Asian partners, but instead collected large sumslike a $1 million transfer in January 2024from buyers in Hong Kong and mainland China. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. The H100s, until recently Nvidia's flagship AI accelerators, require U.S. government approval before being sold to countries considered national security risks. Authorities claim the duo falsely labeled shipments as compliant, despite not having the green light from the Commerce Department. Nvidia, for its part, said it primarily works with trusted partners and that any diverted chips would lack service, updates, or support. Internal messages found on seized devices allegedly show the defendants discussing how to move restricted hardware through third countries, in what investigators believe was a deliberate attempt to circumvent U.S. controls. The case lands at a time when Washington is tightening the screws on China's access to cutting-edge semiconductors. While some headline chip deals grab attention, this case shows the U.S. is just as focused on backdoor smuggling by smaller players. One of the accused is a permanent U.S. resident, while the other is reportedly out of visa status. A judge has released Geng on bond, and a detention hearing for Yang is scheduled for August 12. If convicted, they could face up to 20 years in prison. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

US stock futures higher as Trump threatens semiconductor tax
U.S. stock futures are higher after President Donald Trump said semiconductors would face a 100% tax unless the companies "are building in the United States." The carveout was a relief for companies like Apple that invest in the United States. Apple just said it plans to spend an additional $100 billion on U.S. companies and suppliers over the next four years, in addition a $500 billion investment announced in February. Taiwan said TSMC is exempted from the tax, and South Korea said chips from Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix won't be subject to the 100% tariff either. The comments come on the heels of an earlier announcement of an additional 25% tax on India to bring the total levy to 50%. Trump said the additional tariff is because India continues to buy Russian oil. Other countries are racing to strike a deal with Trump with the Aug 7 deadline here. Nations without a deal face new tariffs. At 6 a.m., futures tied to the blue-chip Dow rose 0.48%, while broad S&P 500 futures added 0.69% and tech-heavy Nasdaq futures gained 0.70%. Investors are also eyeing corporate earnings, which have been mostly positive. About 80% of reports are beating analysts' earnings expectations, above the 76% average of the last four quarters, according to data provider LSEG. Data also showed earnings growth for the quarter is estimated at 12.1%, up from 5.8% at the beginning of July. Corporate news DoorDash's second-quarter results topped analysts' estimates. MetLife's second-quarter results fell on less favorable underwriting and lower investment margins. Duolingo reported better-than-expected second-quarter results and guided third-quarter sales above Street views. Airbnb beat second-quarter forecasts and issued third-quarter sales guidance that straddled analysts' estimates. It also revealed margin pressures. Corning inked an expanded partnership with Apple said it would expand its partnership with the company as part of its plans to increase manufacturing in the United States. DraftKings said it expects full-year sales at the top end of its guidance. United Airlines encountered a technical issue that grounded hundreds of flights and caused massive delays. Ride-share company Lyft reported revenues just shy of forecasts. Cryptocurrency Actelis Networks said its board approved a cryptocurrency treasury strategy to help it diversify its balance sheet.
