叶青 · 4 highlights
“Wang Chuanfu likes to wear jackets in the company, which he calls “work clothes,” making him look no different from an ordinary engineer. He says it's more convenient to crawl around in the workshop, so this loose jacket is the most popular outfit among the senior management of BYD. When Wang Chuanfu, wearing his jacket and holding molds, walks into his office, he looks more like an engineer. In his office, piles of technical books are stacked up.”
“or many years, including Wang Chuanfu himself, all senior managers and employees have been lining up in the big canteen to eat meals costing five yuan each. Wang Chuanfu never sits in first class; all company executives and staff travel in economy class on business trips just as usual.”
