Primary Evidence
"In 2009, when a senior executive from BYD attended the Paris Motor Show and saw Ford employees still staying in the luxurious George V Hotel, he was very "shocked." To save costs, BYD executives even rented a house in the suburbs when attending the Detroit Auto Show. And as early as 2008, all of BYD's businesses were already profitable."
