as the host, wu shaoge summarized the development stage of china's automobile industry in the past 40 years since the reform and opening up in the early 1980s, from the initial "moving abroad" to the rapid growth of "rising and moving", and then to the glorious course of "innovation and transcendence" today. in the future, market competition in the consumer sector will not only be a competition of products and technologies, but also a competition of brand narrative ability. how to tell the chinese brand story well in the international market is a major challenge.

the guests gathered to discuss two topics: first, what achievements and innovations the chinese auto industry has achieved in its past development. second, the advantages and disadvantages of china's new energy vehicles going overseas.

professor huang zhuo:

professor huang zhuo pointed out in his speech that the success of china's new energy vehicle industry is a model of the combination of a proactive government and an effective market. he shared his observations on china's new energy vehicles going global from a macro perspective, emphasizing the importance of brand building, and that cross-cultural leadership and talent training are crucial to the success of auto companies in different markets.

gu xiaodong alumni:

gu xiaodong shared that china's automobile industry is currently undergoing a transformation from "importing technology" to "exporting technology", from the "market for technology" strategy in the early days of reform and opening up to today's "technology export".

xu jun alumni:

xu jun summarized the successful experience of leading the way, emphasizing vertical integration and an open and pragmatic corporate culture. xu jun then discussed the strategy and path for china's new energy vehicles to go overseas, emphasizing that going overseas is an inevitable choice, and summarized the four stages based on history: borrowing a boat to go to sea, following the trend, transplanting flowers and trees, and looking far ahead.

fan xing alumni:

alumni fan xing shared that the core of chery's corporate development has always been to adhere to technological innovation. this persistence not only allowed chery to successfully achieve "overtaking on the curve" in the field of new energy vehicles, but also maintained a strong growth momentum in the field of traditional fuel vehicles. finally, fan xing concluded that only through continuous technological breakthroughs can we maintain competitiveness in the global market. fan xing divided china's new energy vehicles going overseas into three stages: going out, going in, and going up.

alumni of pang yicheng:

pang yicheng proposed the combination of industrial policy and market mechanism. in particular, the development of entrepreneurial spirit, through technological innovation, brand building and market insight, behind these success stories is the blossoming of private entrepreneurial spirit. he is also very concerned about possible technological changes in the future, such as the development of general artificial intelligence, which may have a disruptive impact on the form of the automotive industry and travel methods.

the roundtable discussion was lively, bringing together the voices of chengze and delivering the light of wisdom. the guests agreed that the success of china's auto industry not only benefited from the guidance and support of early auto industry policies, the introduction of corporate strategies and international cooperation, but also from the continuous promotion of independent innovation and technological transcendence, forming a highly competitive industrial chain. in the future, china's new energy vehicles will continue to rely on the innovation drive of the industry to move towards a more brilliant future.
