In 2008, Charlie Munger made Warren Buffett invest in a Chinese EV company - BYD.
Berkshire got 10% stake for $225 Million which they sold at a neat profit of $10 Billion in 2025.
Here’s Charlie speaking about Wang Chuanfu, founder of BYD:
"Wang Chuanfu is a genius. He doesn't speak english and has got 230,000 Chinese employees, and you can't believe what those young Chinese girls can do....whoosh whoosh whoosh."😂
"He was the 8th son of a peasant that creates a little company all by himself, he learns whole new technologies. So, partly I'm betting on the horsemen in this case."
