During the second episode of the podcast "Luo Yonghao's Crossroads," XPeng Inc. Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng revealed that most people who believed he could manufacture cars were those without hardware experience, while friends who had actually worked in hardware advised against it, including Xiaomi Corp. founder Lei Jun.

"It's like what I've been saying in recent years - if you want to harm a friend, just advise him to make cars, because it's incredibly challenging," He Xiaopeng stated.
