In a surprising turn of events, LeEco's long - standing shareholders have placed their trust in Jia Yueting once again.

On December 29th, news broke that Jia Yueting had published an article summarizing his activities in 2025.

In this article, he stated that after a year of relentless effort, the company had shifted from merely surviving to advancing more steadily and confidently.

When Xiaolei saw phrases like "unwavering pursuit" and "for trust and redemption" in the title, he knew this would be another lengthy yet compelling article that readers would find hard to put down.

Jia Yueting is well - known for his ability to tell his story in an inspiring manner.

After going through the summary, Xiaolei's strongest impression was that Jia Yueting had been extremely busy throughout the year, detailing both the company's breakthroughs and his personal regrets.

Moreover, he listed ten achievements and three regrets.

Following his appointment as Co - CEO of FF in April, Jia Yueting used his after - tax signing bonus to increase his stock holdings, which was a positive step. No matter the amount, it was real money being invested.

The FX Super One also witnessed an overwhelming number of early orders in the U.S., achieving its annual KPIs ahead of schedule and enhancing the connection between the Chinese and American automotive industries. These accomplishments show that FF has made substantial progress in its business this year, moving beyond the previous situation where there was only talk but no visible results.

However, Xiaolei had some reservations. Car manufacturing is an industry that requires a significant amount of capital. Although Jia Yueting mentioned securing nearly $200 million in annual financing, it remains uncertain whether this will be sufficient to sustain the company through the next phase of mass production and delivery. After all, FF has faced unexpected setbacks in the past.

Jia Yueting did not shy away from discussing the negative aspects and mentioned three regrets.

His first regret was that the stock price did not meet expectations, and he expressed "guilt to the shareholders." However, expecting an immediate surge in the stock price right after establishing a dual - listing system is unrealistic. Whether the promised "stock price target" can be achieved depends on product sales and the stability of the capital chain.

The second regret was the misunderstanding surrounding the "Dual Flywheel Strategy," with some believing that he was not fully focused on car manufacturing. The negative impression left by LeEco's collapse meant that even though FX's strategic logic was sound, it eroded a significant amount of trust.

The third regret was the lack of time spent with his family. He mentioned that he had not had video calls with his mother for a long time and only saw his children a few times a year.

Xiaolei believes that this is a path Jia Yueting has chosen, as it is extremely difficult to balance work and family unless he returns to China soon.

Interestingly, Jia Yueting mentioned that LeEco's long - standing shareholders from over a decade ago are now supporting him again. Considering how many shareholders suffered significant losses during LeEco's collapse, it is truly surprising to see them transform from critics to supporters.

From LeEco's downfall to FF's near - collapse on multiple occasions, Jia Yueting has shown remarkable perseverance.

Xiaolei points out that the renewed support from long - standing shareholders essentially stems from their hope that FF will succeed and help them recoup their losses. If FF runs into further problems, this trust will be quickly lost.

Since arriving in the U.S. in 2017, Jia Yueting has been striving for eight years, moving from a state of survival to one of stability. He truly embodies the spirit of "never giving up."

He still has outstanding domestic debts, and FF's profitability remains an unsolved issue. Whether he can fulfill his promise to help shareholders recover their losses remains to be seen.

Notably, FF has confirmed its participation in CES 2026, which will be held in January in Las Vegas, along with the FFAI Shareholder Day event. It is still unclear what technologies or products will be showcased. Leitech's CES 2026 reporting team will keep a close watch and provide in - depth on - site coverage.

In any case, Jia Yueting's 2025 year - end recap portrays him as a genuine entrepreneur. With notable achievements, the courage to face his regrets, and renewed recognition from long - standing shareholders, he has already outperformed many.

The next step is to see if he can turn his unwavering drive into reality, settle his domestic debts soon, and hopefully make "returning to China soon" more than just a popular saying.

Finally, what are your thoughts on Jia Yueting's accomplishments in 2025? Do you believe FF will succeed and grow? Feel free to leave your comments.
