We carry out our work under the leadership of the government.
From Li Shufu
Getting silver and gold out of junk machinery was quick to be learnt by others.
I believe the auto business is a highly comprehensive and complicated business. It's not that easy for people simply to enter and ruin the whole thing.
I believe the auto industry is a competition of human resources, competition of funding, competition of technology - and the competition is international.
Particularly in China, I think a lot of people start to realise, OK, what are the things that they truly should value? That's something that fits perfectly well with what Volvo is offering.
Chinese... companies do not have to think about whether they do something to enhance their competitive edge in international markets.
In this fast-developing world, particularly in the fast-transforming China market, we really need to take this opportunity and offer a modern interpretation of Scandinavian design which fits people's demands perfectly.
Product investment, quality management, and all the things that are key for a car company - great, there has been no compromise in those aspects. But I feel there's a lot we could do on communication, particularly from a Chinese perspective.
Life is a question without a standard answer.
We lived in a farm village, and no one could afford to buy a car or to fly. We were envious. We couldn't afford any toys. I couldn't imagine making a real car.
