Zhang Xue clarifies "not a single seed": the local land has good soil and has already set up the stage.

After Zhang Xue’s racing motorcycle won the championship, founder Zhang Xue said that when discussing the startup support Chongqing had provided, “Not a single cent” was offered, sparking widespread discussion. Nandu N Video’s reporter learned that late on April 4, Zhang Xue posted a video responding to the remark, saying that what he had been thinking was that he hadn’t taken any government money. “I also wanted to put on a show. It’s already great that I can do something this cool on my own, and that the government can build the stage for us.” Zhang Xue said that it was precisely because Chongqing provided such good “soil” that Zhang Xue Racing Motorcycles could achieve today’s results within two years.

Zhang Xue posted a video to respond to the relevant remarks.

In the video, Zhang Xue said that the reason he chose to develop in Chongqing lies in “Chongqing has the richest supporting resources for motorcycles, especially high-performance big bikes, because the requirements for precision in every aspect are higher, as well as industry talent.” In addition, he also mentioned that Chongqing is the city with the most complete categories of industrial manufacturing in the country, and that among the engineers and mid-to-senior management at Zhang Xue Racing Motorcycles, “80 to 90 percent are all from Chongqing.”

In an earlier report, Nandu said that from March 28 to 29, at the World Superbike Championship’s Portuguese round in the SSP class (middleweight class), a French rider drove a 820RR-RS racing bike independently developed by Zhang Xue Racing Motorcycles and won both the first-round and second-round championships back-to-back. The team especially performed well in the straight-line acceleration segment. This time, the Chinese motorcycle manufacturer won the title, breaking the long-standing dominance by European and Japanese brands such as Ducati and Yamaha.

When the news of the championship came in, Zhang Xue himself and the brand were quickly pushed to the peak of online attention, and orders also increased as a result. In response, Zhang Xue’s wife, Chen Xingyi, told Nandu reporters: “We were already expanding our production lines this year anyway. We can just follow our own pace.”
