The man knows chemistry, education, production and most importantly respecting talents and leading them to do great things. So unlike western CEO's which is all about stock performances. Thank you for a great interview.
@@Zwwiterthe end product speaks for itself. If they are working like how the European does, i.e. work life balance, their end products would probably be on the same inferior lvls as the european battery makers and wouldn't be a disruptive force like what they are now
Man, this CEO is one hell of guy! He’s grounded, honest n full of passion! In the interview, he’s done nothing but spewing secrets of success in his industry, life & how to handle success once you get it! Amazing man indeed ❤
Wow! What an amazing interview! I'm sure most of the viewers will agree with me that this interview was like someone opened a new window for the fresh air. I don't know why most of western CEOs sound so similar to each other, they use same buzzwords, same jargons, shockingly they have similar voice tone and way of speaking, speak like celebrities living in vanity vans, living in their Executive bubble. Do round and round talks. On the other hand, this guy, talking like a General in the field, straight talks, the man who knows the game on the ground. Really impressive!! We need such Real Working Leaders, in various domains not just in business. Thanks Nicolai for this interview. We can see you are so keen to learn from world leaders, a great trait. I hope rest of the Europe should learn from you. Best wishes 🎉🎉🎉
Ther is also differrnce Founder vs manager. Many CEO just wanna get good salary for themselves. They dont care technology and innovation. They lay off best guys in company to save cost. But founder would invest for the best of company. Also there is style difference between east and west. Many easten company owner are very close to ground work hard, not talkative but very familiar with ehat they arw doing, low tone.
Sometimes Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.
Nobody knows anything, you need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, through thick or thin ,While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving
Many overlook that banks are return-driven businesses. I don't trust keeping a large sum in a bank. Instead, I invest with guidance, enjoy the benefits, and save for retirement.
After the '08 financial crisis, I've learned not to trust corporations. Since 2020, I've been investing with a financial advisor and have had no major losses, so I'm not going back to relying solely on banks.
The decision on when to pick an Adviser is a very personal one. I take guidance from Annette Marie Holt to meet my growth goals and avoid mistakes, she's well-qualified and her page can be easily found on the net.
Just came back from Shenzhen to hong kong. Waited in the bus stop in Shenzhen for 10 mins next to a crowded 6 lane motorway and there were hardly any air population as all buses, trucks and most cars are EVs! Huge difference compared to hong kong !
Dr Robin Zeng an absolute legend and gentleman. This is the type of guy we need directing our MBA programs. Thank goodness Pilbara has great partners like Ganfen and ultimately CATL.
Foxconn once enjoyed dividend of Chinese farmer workers in labour extensive industry, and made a huge incredible achievements. Now CATL is enjoying dividend of China STEM talent in R&D.
what a smart and entrepreneurial leader. more importantly, I love how they are helping create jobs in rural China to keep families together and to create common prosperity.
Maybe Norway should research geothermal if enough of the engineers are geological and drilling specialists. Offshore platform specialists would be good for offshore wind.
All the politicians in the West countries who want to cut the battery supply chain from China and setup their own one should listen to this talk first. Also, nowadays you rarely see any US company CEOs can talk such technical details like CATL’s CEO.
They are building a huge factory in Hungary’s 2nd largest city. It’s gonna disrupt the shit out of the European battery material market. If not terminating the competition here in Europe.
German government provides 902 million euros in subsidies to Swedish lithium battery manufacturer Northvolt. And Northvolt is filing for bankruptcy protection.
This guy is a good business man, wants to make business with everyone he talks to 🙂. Really great idea to make Norway the first zero carbon country on Earth and the rest of the world sees what is means!
The students in Europe , US has a very different reality in regards to cost to study than Chinese . It so expensive in Europe and US that it’s very hard to study all the way up to PHD and still pay your bills . This is why people in Europe and US think more of going into finance and other economic that will be replaced by AI very easily.

@@ruximi6512 how about Einstein working in finance instead of physics? Incidentally, I do believe that’s why Chinese government is capping banker salaries at USD400k. I think it’s stupid policy but I do see how finance industry can be a brain drain for top scientific talents.
That’s actual a good thing. The more grads they have, the more people they can filter out to get the good ones. I learn over the years after working with many engineers, they have to be constantly challenged and weeded out in order to get the top quality types who can troubleshoot and come up with workable ideas. Many engineer grads tend to burn out in this professions every 5 to 7 years. There are some who got a related field job in the first place.
They have 20,000 actual engineers working on real world problems. We Americans have armies of bankers, lawyers and accountants... What's wrong with this picture??😂😂
It’s not rocket science to know the compound. The secreet is how to scale up the production while ensure performance and safety. This was the bit he said that others are failing at.

Exactly. CEOs in Europe are very talkative like politicians but nothing can take away from their speech. Really diff styles.

看了下点评，绝大部分都是褒义的。

Excellent interview with an industry visionary.
Catl has 20 000 electric engineers. Norway has 10 000 oil engineers.
Maybe Norway should research geothermal if enough of the engineers are geological and drilling specialists. Offshore platform specialists would be good for offshore wind.
The competitor is ourself!! ❤❤😊😊

Terrific interview. Thank you.
Robin, a great man.
Zeng speaks confidently
He is the world's number one domain expert in the battery industry. His ability to communicate clearly in English is a huge advantage too.
Yes, he does.
This man is awesome. Great interview!
Impressed that his Enhlish is so good.
He did a great job there! Sometimes difficult to follow but it was enough to be inspired. 😂
Excellent interview! Great questions and answers! Kind leader with kind heart = kind and good company! Easy to say, hard to do!
Great video !
Good interview. He dodged the government subsidies question but I liked the comment about education in electrical chemistry.
German government provides 902 million euros in subsidies to Swedish lithium battery manufacturer Northvolt. And Northvolt is filing for bankruptcy protection.
A legendary leader
Hope to see more Chinese CEOs to lead Asia and be a role model for Asia's youth.
The competitor is ourselves.....
It's byd
@@remix-yy1hs I see
@@remix-yy1hs he is inviting competition to innovate for the future. Which is a great idea but deadly for capitalism.
@@ruximi6512Why then going against CALB into law court?
Go ask Northvolt how it goes😅
What an amazing leader?!
insightfull 💯
shocked，he could speak fluent english。in mainland，we didnt see this part of him！
Tbh, maybe it is only you m. If you are in battery industry, you should know his background and his language advantage
@@xinlisha2008 i think what we discussed is totally different，Mr smart-ass ：）
The guy was a senior manager of ATL in Hong Kong for many years.
This guy is a good business man, wants to make business with everyone he talks to 🙂. Really great idea to make Norway the first zero carbon country on Earth and the rest of the world sees what is means!
If I was the PM of Norway, I would have bought his idea. This guy is such a good businessman too.
A very good man!

Awesome, 20000+ engineers and amongst them more than 500 PHDs, 😀OMG
Chinese universities produce too many chemistry scientists and chemical engineers!
Problem is not having too many scientists. Problem is when too many scientists ending up in finance industry in the West.

This guy was asking all the industry secrets and the Chinese guy just gave him his company’s chemistry details.

My Tesla Model 3 has a CATL Battery from him
Congratulations!
