三、总结

A few years ago, Chinese inventions were mostly copied. Today, however, we have a strong drive to get Chinese entrepreneurs to expand their businesses. Nio's President, who has shown that the industry is locked into old ways of doing business, has come up with three solutions: boosting autonomous driving, accelerating electrification and designing cars specifically for the digital age. China and the United States have different views on automobiles, but comparatively speaking, China's automobile industry is more excellent, and China's bicycle industry is also developing rapidly. While the inefficiency of China's state-led economy is also driving entrepreneurs, the road to China's rise remains bumpy. Nevertheless, we still have to believe that good entrepreneurs will provide us with better services.

几年前，中国的发明大多依靠抄袭，然而今天，我们有强大的驱动力来使中国的企业家扩展业务，那就是巨大的经济规模、消费者的冒险精神以及新来者将客户放在首位的理念。nio的总裁曾表明，汽车业被锁定在老式的经营方式上，因此他提出了三个解决方案:推进自动驾驶、加快电气化以及专门为数字时代设计汽车。中美对于汽车的看法不同，但是相比较而言，中国的汽车产业更加优秀,中国的自行车产业也在迅速发展。虽然中国政府主导的经济的低效也在推动企业家的发展，但是中国的崛起之路仍然是坎坷不平的。尽管如此，我们仍然要相信优秀的企业家会为我们提供更好的服务。
