Newshot Zhang Xue responds to "the theory that studying is useless": that definition is very low; he studies almost every day
IT Home, November 12: Zhang Xue, founder of Zhangxue Motorcycles, today disclosed the brand's October operating data and confirmed that the company has achieved a profit of about 100 million yuan this year.
Zhang Xue dropped out of school at the age of 14 and began working in motorcycle repair, later entering the professional motorcycle field. As a result, some netizens have interpreted his experience as evidence for "the theory that studying is useless."
In response, Zhang Xue said in an interview with Chongqing Broadcasting Group on November 11 that this definition is "very low," that he studies almost every day, and that studying at school is simply a more concentrated way of learning.
He said that school is a training ground before entering society, and that cultivating the ability to learn is more enduring than simply acquiring knowledge; the process of communicating with people in the industry is itself a form of learning, but not everyone has such conditions.
Data released by Zhang Xue shows that the brand sold nearly 5,000 units in October, of which 2,697 were the 500RR model.
IT Home previously reported that on November 11, the 100,000th complete vehicle from Zhangxue Motorcycles rolled off the production line at the Chongqing production base, completing ahead of schedule the year-end target of 100,000 units proposed at the September motorcycle expo.
In 2026, Zhangxue Motorcycles competed in the WorldSSP class of the World Superbike Championship, finishing as runner-up in the annual riders' standings and third in the manufacturers' points standings; in September, with sales of nearly 10,000 units, it topped the domestic retail ranking for mid-to-large-displacement models among domestic brands above 250cc.
To meet delivery demand, the new production base with an annual capacity of 500,000 vehicles in Chongqing Liangjiang New Area has obtained construction land planning permission. The total land area is about 186.5 mu, and construction is expected to start within the year. Space has been reserved in the plan for new energy and intelligent models.
In the interview, Zhang Xue also mentioned that employee salaries are highly likely to rise by 10% across the board this year. Salaries rise by a fixed general increase every year, and this year the increase will be set slightly higher. He welcomed newcomers who can quickly integrate into the team and learn quickly.
