security leader founder’s second venture
It is worth noting that Zhu Jiangming, the founder of Zero run technology, is an engineer with more than 30 years of experience in the field of electronics and artificial intelligence. He is also the co-founder of Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co.Ltd(002236) A-share security leader Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co.Ltd(002236) and Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co.Ltd(002415) with its headquarters in Hangzhou for many years, ranking among the top three in the global security industry.
“The global market of the security industry is limited, and it is impossible for one company to own it, and the cake of the automobile industry is large enough.” Zhu Jiangming previously told the reporter of Shanghai Securities News that he and his entrepreneurial partners started from 5000 yuan in 1992. After 30 years of efforts, Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co.Ltd(002236) has become a technology company with a market value of 50 billion yuan. He wants to lead a new team to cut a bigger “cake” in the intelligent new energy vehicle industry. In 2021, Zhu Jiangming resigned from all posts of Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co.Ltd(002236) and said that he would focus on zero running.
According to the analysis of industry experts, Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co.Ltd(002236) previously, its main business was the R & D, production and sales of security video surveillance products. At the same time, it also explored new business models such as VR / AR, intelligent Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) , intelligent vehicle electronics and so on. Making good use of these business resources will help Zero run develop intelligent new energy vehicles. In addition, Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co.Ltd(002236) chairman Fu Liquan encouraged the employees of zero running car in 2020 and promised: “no matter what the external environment is, zero running will be alive for at least three years.”
“Zero run is very confident in automatic driving technology. It is expected to achieve full scene automatic driving technology in 2024, surpassing Tesla in three years.” Zhu Jiangming spoke publicly a few days ago.
Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the Federation of passengers, analyzed the reporter of Shanghai Securities News and said that it was understandable that Zero run had previously relied on the Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co.Ltd(002236) support of a strong listed company. However, the competition among the new forces of car making is very fierce, and it may enter a new round of knockout competition in the future. Zero run needs to further improve its strength through listing and financing.
