At the 2025 Guangzhou International Auto Show, NIO Inc. founder, chairman, and CEO William Li delivered a speech during the brand's press conference.
Hong Kong actor Wallace Chung, a prospective owner of the new NIO ES8, made a surprise appearance at the event. Chung mentioned that his vehicle is still awaiting delivery, to which Li jokingly responded that his own car is also scheduled for delivery next year.
Li promised to personally hand over the car to Chung and even invited him for a round of golf. Noticing Chung's enthusiastic fans in the audience, Li playfully urged them to "place your orders now."
