July 31, 2026 – The full-length in-depth conversation video between Luo Yonghao and Zhu Jiangming, Chairman of Leapmotor, has officially premiered on the talk show Luo Yonghao’s Crossroads. The discussion spans a decade of EV-building journeys, automakers’ financial health, cutthroat industry competition, full-stack R&D strategies, and the ongoing new-energy vehicle shakeout trajectory.
During the dialogue, Zhu Jiangming laid out Leapmotor’s current operational fundamentals with unreserved candor. He stated plainly that Leapmotor maintains an extremely sound financial position to date, healthier than several leading peers, noting the company carries virtually no debt and boasts a remarkably robust balance sheet.
Addressing the widespread industry practice of deploying paid online trolls to smear competitors, Zhu made a public commitment on behalf of Leapmotor: the brand will never engage in such underhanded tactics, never launch unprovoked attacks on rivals, and will stay fully focused on refining its core products rather than getting dragged into petty feuds that only escalate over time.
Zhu also opened up about his deeply introverted personality and work rhythm, admitting he struggles with severe social anxiety and views most public industry appearances as a draining burden rather than a pleasure. He shared that even mandatory events like delivering a speech at the recent China Association of Automobile Manufacturers annual meeting in Shanghai felt like a high-pressure task far outside his comfort zone. In stark contrast, he described brainstorming product details with his internal teams as a thoroughly enjoyable, immersive experience that he fully savors.
