On the snow-covered Tsuko Bridge, all sorts of trams and oil trucks were defeated by skidding while climbing, and then turned around and fled like wounded lions. In strong contrast, the car shows its face with a good power distribution mechanism and excellent grip. I saw Lao Liu lightly step on the "accelerator" pedal, move forward slowly, and finally successfully crossed the bridge. On the evening of December 14, 2023, I drove the BYD Tang EV730 and experienced a scene that stood out from the crowd on the way to work.

After working in Tianjin, he was allowed to participate in the car lottery as a non-citizen of the city, and won the lottery. In August last year, after consultation and comparison, Lao Liu decided to buy this pure electric car. In fact, in the Tang EV series, there is also a more powerful four-wheel drive 635, but taking into account factors such as cruising range, the 730 is still chosen. Even with two-wheel drive, the electric car's strong torque makes it accelerate as well as any petrol car I've ever driven.

In the 90s of the last century, Lao Liu drove a Buick LeSabre when he was a reporter in the United States, and he experienced the fun of automatic cruise earlier. The fly in the ointment is that the vehicles that appear in front of you from time to time make it difficult to sustain the cruising state at the set speed, and they have to be stopped and activated frequently, resulting in a high degree of mental stress. Therefore, this feature can generally only be used on empty highways. However, the "adaptive cruise" of the BYD Tang EV can automatically adjust the speed of the vehicle after the cruise is turned on, which makes people feel comfortable and convenient. The intelligent vehicle control system also allows drivers and passengers to enjoy a variety of beautiful experiences in the information age. After a breezy "Hello Xiaodi", almost all the demands you can say can be easily and happily satisfied.

To be honest, Lao Liu's reason for choosing this car is quite vulgar, that is, performance plus experience, and it has nothing to do with the "national brand". I really don't understand why some people have to associate an ordinary social consumer product with "patriotism". We little people just want to buy a car to get around, why do we always chirp and crookedly make so many feelings! Huawei makes its own mobile phones, but Ren Zhengfei admits that he is a "fruit fan" in front of the people of the whole country. Can you say that people are always unpatriotic?

In a mature consumer market, mature consumers are indispensable. When the market is free, and each consumer decides to buy his favorite goods out of instinct, rather than pressure, they inadvertently pay for the research and development of technology that is in line with the future development direction of the industry, and thus make a wise choice for the whole society - this is the law of market economy.

Under this law, every rational consumption activity is an endorsement of innovation and a contribution to the healthy operation of the national economy. You've done that, and it's not too late to talk about patriotism. As far as the enterprise is concerned, if it relies on the "patriotic feelings" of the people to support its development, it will definitely have no future. If this were the case, BYD would not have the glory it has today.

Innovation is an economic concept. In economics, innovation is often cited as a key factor in driving economic growth and increasing productivity. By introducing new technologies, products, or business models, innovation can change the competitive landscape of the market, improve the efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises, optimize resource allocation, and increase employment opportunities. Therefore, innovation and the market are inextricably linked. Innovation is inseparable from the market!

If you can't consistently meet the changing needs of the market, any kind of innovation will eventually die. In the 80s and 90s of the last century, why did so many state-owned enterprises in our country close down and tens of millions of workers were laid off? The most fundamental reason was that under the planned economic system, the market withered, so that innovative activities were suffocated, products could not be sold, and enterprises lost their vitality.

As early as 2008, BYD launched the world's first mass-produced plug-in hybrid car, the F3DM. Subsequently, BYD released the world's first pure electric vehicle to achieve commercial operation - E6. In addition, BYD has also made important breakthroughs in the research and development of lithium iron phosphate batteries, realizing the improvement of battery energy density and the acceleration of charging speed, laying a solid technical foundation for the further popularization of electric vehicles.

Key core technologies are highly innovative, develop and change rapidly, and face greater market uncertainty. By focusing on creating value in the coupling with market demand and forcing front-end technological innovation with market demand, BYD can continue to lead the trend of electric vehicle technology and have always been at the forefront of the industry.

Joseph Schumpeter

People's understanding of the concept of innovation was mainly from the perspective of the combination of technology and economy, and the role of technological innovation in the process of economic development was discussed. In 1912, the American-Austrian political economist Joseph Schumpeter published the book "The Theory of Economic Development", which was the first to put forward the concept of "innovation".

In this book, Schumpeter explains the cyclical theory of business cycles. He believes that when the economic cycle goes from the boom cycle to the bottom, some entrepreneurs are eliminated, while others must "innovate" in order to survive. Therefore, every depression is pregnant with the possibility of technological innovation. For entrepreneurs, this is a rare opportunity for innovation. Lao Liu eagerly expects Wang Chuanfu and his BYD to achieve new success together with many Chinese private enterprises.
