On November 29, the 36氪WISE2022 New Economy King Conference was officially held in Beijing. The theme of the conference is "Watching China and Maintaining Innovation". It focuses on popular tracks such as new energy, SmartEV, new consumption, investors, digitalization, and the Yuanverse. It comprehensively looks at the trends in the new economic field and explores new growth points in the new economic field.

Zhu Jiangming, founder and chairman of Leapmotor Technology , was invited to attend the conference online and delivered a speech on the theme of "Technology Self-reliance, Automobile Moves to the Middle", sharing thoughts and practices on the integration of technology and the automotive industry.

In his speech, Zhu Jiangming said that the automobile industry is in the midst of tremendous changes, and the new energy wave is unstoppable. Chinese companies will be the main players in the global automobile industry in the future; whether self-research or innovation, they cannot be divorced from market demand and user needs. Zero Motor should be its own "OEM" and the "OEM" of users, get rid of inflated brand premiums, achieve luxury parity with high quality-price ratio, meet user needs at the highest level, and allow Chinese consumers to make good use of cars.

Data shows that China's new energy vehicle market penetration rate has exceeded 30%. This number has even exceeded 50% in cities such as Shenzhen and Hangzhou. This growth rate has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. Not only that, in the global market, Chinese brands accounted for 80% of the top 20 new energy models in September sales; in the domestic market, Chinese brands accounted for nearly 85% of the overall new energy sales. It can be seen that Chinese brands have become major players in the new energy track, whether in the international market or the domestic market.

Combined with the progress and improvement of China's automobile industry since the reform and opening up of , Zhu Jiangming believes that the development of China's automobile industry for decades has proven that exchanging the market for technology cannot bring about core competitiveness. Only by taking technology into one's own hands and insisting on innovation can real success be achieved; intelligent power, intelligent driving, and intelligent cockpit are the three core technologies of new energy vehicles.

Therefore, since its establishment in 2015, Leappo has carried out continuous research and development and technological innovation around the three major components of intelligent power, intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit, forming a moat of global self-research plus vertical integration of and .

Today, every Leap car is equipped with self-developed intelligent power, intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving system. Zero Pao hopes to build core competitiveness through self-research in all areas, so that Moore's Law and can play a role in automobiles, so that products will have stronger iteration capabilities. "We believe that without independent core technology, there will be no moat and it will be doomed to be suppressed," Zhu Jiangming said.

At the end of his speech, Zhu Jiangming called for the development trajectory of the world's automobiles to usher in the Chinese era, which will be a period of major strategic opportunities for Chinese automobiles. Chinese automobiles must move from the catching-up stage to the leading stage. In this process, Leapmotor hopes to open up and share, and work with everyone to promote the realization of technology and industry.
