Recently, a rumor about the death of Zhu Jiangming, the founder and chairman of Leapmotor, has been circulating on the Internet. On May 20, Zhu Jiangming sent an exclusive video to China Business News to refute the rumor, saying that "it is easy to spread rumors, but it is difficult to refute them." He also said in the video: "Yesterday we released the first quarter financial report of 2025, which achieved results beyond expectations. I was surprised to receive greetings from many friends. To be honest, when I saw this rumor, I was helpless. As an entrepreneur, I used to work hard to prove that Leapmotor is alive. Now that Leapmotor is doing well, I have to prove that I am still alive."
