On June 10th, at the 13th China Automotive Blue Book Forum, Zhang Yong, the co-founder of NETA Automobile, gave a speech. Here’s a summary of the content:

  • “Defend the hard fortress and fight the idiotic battle.” As a faithful follower of Zeng Guofan, Zhang Yong adheres to this six-word mantra in enterprise operation and technology research and development.

  • “No arms race.” We should take the development path of intelligent technology that suits the needs of our users. We won’t touch hardware or operating systems for the time being. Instead, we will jointly develop middleware and suppliers, and have control over technologies concerning intelligent automobile safety and user perception.

  • To develop intelligent technology, we need to build a team of 1,000 people and invest 10 billion yuan. We hope to occupy a favorable position in three to five years.
