BYD, the leader in domestic new energy vehicles, has become one of the top ten global manufacturing car companies, with annual sales exceeding 3 million units.

As game-changers and leaders in their respective industries, BYD and "Black Myth" have both experienced the "eighty-one trials" of repeated questioning, and ultimately achieved success;

They have written a similar story for China's automotive and gaming industries, from humble beginnings to industry leaders.

As part of the strategic cooperation, BYD and the game's producer, Game Science, have collaborated on "protecting Chinese historical sites and national treasures." This partnership signifies a new attempt by BYD in the fields of cultural promotion and historical site preservation, aiming to protect and inherit Chinese cultural heritage through digital means.

Unconsciously, BYD has become the "chosen one" of "Black Myth," and their cooperation is seen within the industry as a "royal flush combination." "Black Myth: Wukong" is the "first Chinese AAA game" launched at the end of August this year, with a background setting based on "Journey to the West." It broke the million sales barrier within the first hour of its release, sold over 10 million copies worldwide within three days, and its monthly sales revenue exceeded $961 million (approximately 6.79 billion yuan), setting new records and joining the ranks of the world's top single-player blockbusters.

BYD, as the global sales champion of new energy vehicles, has accumulated sales of 2.747 million units in the first nine months of this year, with monthly sales ranking in the top three globally and annual sales expected to exceed 3.6 million units. The production of the 10 millionth new energy vehicle is imminent.

"Black Myth" has broken the monopoly of AAA games by foreign countries, and BYD has successfully "overtaken" in an unprecedented major transformation, becoming a global hegemon while also aiming to break into the top three global automotive manufacturers.

It can be said that BYD and "Black Myth," as pioneers in their respective industries, have both undergone long periods of practice and ultimately obtained the "true scriptures." Over the years, many industries in China have also been writing similar stories one after another.They have achieved a comeback through continuous investment in technology, relentless pursuit of product excellence, and unwavering commitment to their dreams, ultimately making "Made in China" renowned both domestically and internationally.

In the summer of 2024, a "monkey" emerged out of nowhere, leading the way for domestic AAA games to become globally acclaimed and standing at the pinnacle of the world for the first time. It is the first domestic AAA game—high cost, high volume, high-quality single-player game—"Black Myth: Wukong," which will be the most challenging phenomenon-level game for global gamers to conquer.

For a long time, although Chinese games have been developed, popular, and profitable, they have always lacked major works that can be presented with pride, without a recognized AAA (high investment, high quality, high volume) level domestic game. Some games have even been labeled as "money-making, skinning, and harvesting." The emergence of "Black Myth: Wukong" not only broke the status quo of no AAA games in China but also showcased the cutting-edge strength of Chinese virtual technology to the world.

The game's success has enhanced the reputation and cultural influence of domestic games. Players have spread the word: "I've been an assassin in Egypt, a demon hunter, a dragon slayer, a knight, I've been everything. Now I finally see a glimmer of hope that I can be the Monkey King in the fantasy world of my own country."

The popularity of "Black Myth: Wukong" has sparked a "Journey to the West" craze overseas, promoting Chinese mythological stories to the world while "sky-high traffic" has also ignited traditional tourist attractions.

What "breaks the circle" is a game, and what "goes overseas" are Chinese stories, architecture, cultural relics, and Chinese folk music. "Black Myth: Wukong" has opened a new window for global players to understand Chinese culture.

Just now, the official announcement from Black Myth Wukong stated that the long-awaited physical version of "Black Myth: Wukong" is ready, and the PS5 physical version will be released soon, bringing a wave of Chinese game style to the European and American gaming market.

In today's complex and changing global environment, exports have become the best choice to open up incremental markets, but little do people know that cultural exports are the most formidable.Coincidentally, BYD has done a great job in promoting traditional culture and exports.

Believing in the popularity outside the circle, BYD uses Chinese dynasties such as "Xia, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan" as product names, which is much more famous than some brands' "Mocha, Latte..." and so on;

Technologically, BYD names its products with traditional elements such as Yun Ni and Xuan Ji, and designs the logo of its high-end brand Yangwang inspired by Oracle Bone Script. Not to mention, BYD is the first car company in China to use Chinese buttons, showing the confidence of national culture!

In addition, BYD also initiated the "Dragon Boat into the Olympics" and "National Treasure Protection Plan", actively contributing to cultural heritage.

In September 2024, China's new energy passenger car exports reached 105,000 vehicles, with BYD exporting 30,512 new energy vehicles in the first place.

In the first half of the year, domestic new energy vehicle exports reached 605,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 13.2%. Among them, BYD exported a total of 203,400 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 173.8%.

It can be said that BYD contributed one-third of the domestic new energy vehicle export volume with its own strength!

At present, BYD's new energy vehicles have reached more than 400 cities in 88 countries and regions.

"Stock God" Warren Buffett has not touched technology stocks for decades. At the time of the 2008 financial tsunami, he invested 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars against the trend to subscribe to 225 million shares of BYD, which is also the only Chinese technology company he holds and heavily positions.Later, Buffett's 14-year persistence brought BYD a 40-fold return and a profit of over 70 billion Hong Kong dollars, creating an investment myth.

When an industry is doubling in growth every year, it is definitely not a coincidence. It is the power of the times and the power of trends.

In the face of the great changes unseen in a century, BYD has shown the European and American automotive industry how terrifying the power of "adherence to innovation and faith" is.

It took BYD 13 years to go from 0 to 1 million in the production of new energy vehicles.

From 1 million to 2 million, it only took 1 year, and from 2 million to 3 million, it only took half a year... From 8 million to 9 million, BYD only took a little over two months, constantly refreshing the "million new speed". It is expected that BYD's 10 millionth new energy vehicle will be achieved within the year.

Behind the "acceleration" of BYD's automobile manufacturing is its proud team of BYD engineers.

11 research institutes and more than 90,000 engineers... These are the best in China's automotive technology industry, the largest automotive R&D team in the world, and the confidence behind BYD's dominance in the new energy vehicle market!

In September, BYD's new energy vehicle sales historically exceeded 419,400 units, a year-on-year increase of 45.91%. In the first nine months of 2024, BYD's cumulative sales of new energy vehicles reached 2.7479 million units, and it should not be a problem to achieve the annual sales target of 3.6 million units.

Has everyone noticed that Huawei is successful in everything it does, whether it's communication business, mobile phones, or intelligent driving systems? Behind Huawei's success is also technology, and behind the success of technology, there is undoubtedly a large reserve of talent!The Xuanji architecture, in-vehicle drones, palm keys, full-scenario vehicle satellite communication, Easy Four-Square parking, and the Zeus Eye intelligent driving system... With an investment of over 100 billion yuan in the direction of whole-vehicle intelligence, big fish after big fish are leaping out of the "technology pond" of Wang Chuanfu.

According to media reports, after a series of adjustments this year, BYD intends to integrate the self-developed intelligent driving team under the new technology institute, aiming to mass-produce self-developed algorithms as soon as November.

This could be a milestone achievement in BYD's intelligent driving research and development.

From the current market enthusiasm, fully autonomous driving is still premature, but the era of intelligent driving has already arrived!

Collaborating with "Black Myth: Wukong" is not only a move for BYD to expand its brand influence but also an important step in shaping a younger brand image.

On October 18th, the Seabass 06GT was officially launched, which BYD claims to be the first GT specially designed for young people.

After crossing the monthly sales threshold of 400,000 units, BYD's monthly sales have become the third in the world, directly challenging Volkswagen and Toyota, overshadowing overseas giants such as Nissan, Honda, General Motors, and Ford, and the global new energy vehicle market is "who else but me!"

"Black Myth: Wukong" is another milestone event following the significant breakthrough of domestic animation, marking that after China's intelligent manufacturing, new energy, and other hard technology fields stand in the center of the global stage, the virtual field led by games shines on the global stage once again. Games are not only highly positioned in the virtual field but also reflect a manifestation of soft power.

As two major game-changers in China's technology industry, BYD and "Black Myth: Wukong" have both contributed significantly to domesticization and promoted Chinese traditional culture. The cooperation between these two kings can be described as a perfect match.From humble beginnings to industry leaders, they have achieved a remarkable turnaround through continuous investment in technology, relentless pursuit of product excellence, and unwavering commitment to their dreams, earning acclaim both domestically and internationally.

Setting off westward, facing their destiny head-on, every Chinese brand is on its way to its own "Sumeru".

On the journey to "acquire the sacred texts", BYD and "Black Myth: Wukong" have set out first, looking forward to meeting more like-minded people at the summit.
