Among traditional car companies, Chery is regarded as the "forerunner" of intelligent transformation.

Lions have been incorporated into Chery's family genes.
After Xiongshi Technology received 200 million yuan of financing, it will "heavy warehouse" related projects of intelligent network connection. According to the report of Future Auto Daily, lion technology's 200 million yuan financing will be mainly used for R&D and market development.

But in the face of sudden epidemic and market downturn, Chery's sales data in the first quarter and even in 2020 need more support.
