零跑汽车董事长朱江明在播客节目中坦言，造车需要至少两百亿元的投入[1]，并表示"早知道造车这么烧钱，我就不干了"[1]。朱江明回顾了自己2015年从大华股份离职跨界造车的决定[1]，在零跑汽车十周年发布会上形容过去十年经历艰难，"可以说是九死一生"[1]。他指出公司目前刚过盈亏平衡点[1]。
面对市场评估，朱江明认为零跑的市值被严重低估，称"500亿这样的一个市值，我觉得是太便宜了"[1]。为表达对企业前景的信心，他去年至今一年时间内增持总计19亿港币[1]。在销售目标方面，朱江明透露零跑汽车2025年销量计划达到59万辆[1]，并设定2026年冲击100万辆的目标[1]。
Leapmotor Chairman Zhu Jiangming stated on a podcast program that the automotive manufacturing industry requires a minimum investment of 20 billion yuan, acknowledging that "if I'd known car manufacturing was this expensive, I wouldn't have done it."[1] According to Zhu, manufacturing automobiles demands at least this level of capital commitment to achieve viability.
Zhu reflected on his 2015 decision to leave Dahua Technology and enter the automotive sector, characterizing the company's past decade as exceptionally difficult.[1] He noted that Leapmotor has only recently reached its breakeven point after navigating what he described as a "nine-lives-lost" journey.[1] Despite these challenges, Zhu expressed conviction that Leapmotor's market valuation is severely undervalued, emphasizing that a 500 million yuan valuation is "far too cheap."[1] To demonstrate his confidence, he has increased his stake by a total of 1.9 billion Hong Kong dollars over the past year.[1]
Looking ahead, Zhu outlined ambitious sales projections for the company, targeting 590,000 units sold in 2025, with aspirations to reach the one million unit mark in 2026.[1]
