Sanyan Technology reported on July 31 that blogger Li Xiang released a video interview with Lei Jun today. It is reported that the video was shot on April 10 and the interview lasted nearly 4 hours.

In the video, Lei Jun said that from a personal perspective, he did not want to build a car, and he had initiated two discussions within the company about building a car, but he rejected them both. He later banned the company from discussing building a car. A director asked whether to build a car. Lei Jun was against it during the discussion at the meeting. Everyone said why not do a research. Later, Lei Jun formed a team and conducted research for three months. He found that the world had changed and mobile phones and cars had merged.

Lei Jun also mentioned: "When I was an investor, I was always giving orders and thought I was great. I said, "Xiaopeng, you are wrong. Libin, there must be something wrong with you." Investors are people like me. I don't really understand and I always give orders. After I really finished, I had a drink with He Xiaopeng at the end of last year. I said, "Xiaopeng, I apologize to you. It turned out that it was because of my ignorance. Later I found that you are still very capable and have done a good job. I said we should express our gratitude in a very formal way. I just bought 5 pages of advertisements to express my gratitude. Everyone thinks we are trying to show off. No. We talked about it at the table, and I want to express it to you in a very formal way."
