Everyone wants this to succeed.

Confidence is very valuable – it is like a diamond for a new thing. People who carry the Internet genes have reason to believe in themselves: Informatization has transformed everything. In just a few years, social, business, and travel, everything is rapidly evolving. But making cars is an exception. It has a history of hundreds of years – hard as a stone.
The young people who ran from the Internet to build cars had a sharper eye than their peers, and now they are forced to make compromises. “If it fails, it may not be easy to play this thing within ten years, then we have to continue to accept the way we used to.”
The real world of the future is sensible
The concept that attracted Kong Jingcong to come here, like a rose dream, the future world becomes real and sensible. He is a software engineer. He has worked for Yahoo China and Cheetah. He has experienced many nodes from the climax to the bottom of the Internet. In 2015, when Yahoo’s technical team was disbanded, “all companies went to the company to dig people downstairs”, recruiting on site, playing Banners, some directly with the offer sign. At the time, this was “a sensation in the Internet.”
And when making the decision to build a car, his rich experience is endlessly consuming one thing – using algorithms to improve the click-through rate of advertising in the information stream, professional achievement comes from cash flow The impact of the number, “I earned 2 million today, and earned 3 million tomorrow.” But this thing that sounds “very bullish”, from the data evaluation and effect analysis, is not so proud: recommended effect is good “Basic is basically a software such as night chat.” For example, “How is the beauty sister going late at night?”
Kong Jingcong always laughs at himself. He is “psoriasis” – although the application technology is similar to the previous one, “there is no real value for the user”.
The feeling of boredom began to rise. Smart cars are different, that is the real future. On a working night, the old leader Zhuang Li called him. The talk time was short, only “five minutes, ten minutes.” More than three years ago, Kong Jingcong couldn’t remember anything. Only one impression was impressive, which made him make a decision in a moment. Zhuang Li said: “Maybe China will not have a too successful new energy auto company, but if If there is, it must be Wei.”
Zhuang Li is the vice president of Weilai Automobile. In 2016, he was responsible for Weilai China’s software development work. He almost built the Weilai software team from 0 to 1.
