On December 13, according to the national enterprise information publicity system, Lei Jun stepped down as the executive director and general manager of Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. In addition, Tianyancha information shows that Lei Jun has successively stepped down as an executive officer of a number of Xiaomi affiliated companies, including the executive director of Guangzhou Xiaomi Information Service Co., Ltd., the legal representative of Xiaomi Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd., the chairman of Zhuhai Xiaomi Communication Technology Co., Ltd., the chairman of Guangzhou Xiaomi Communication Technology Co., Ltd., and the executive director and legal representative of Guangdong Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd.
In this regard, Xiaomi responded that it is a normal change. However, insiders revealed that the baton is taken over by Xiaomi's core executives. This move may be seen as a signal for Lei Jun to focus on car building.
In March this year, Xiaomi announced its entry into the field of smart electric vehicles, planning to invest 10 billion US dollars in 10 years, and the first batch of 10 billion yuan. In September, Xiaomi Automobile Entity Company was officially established, headquartered in Beijing, and the factory was also scheduled in Yizhuang. Lei Jun also shouted out, "I am willing to bet on all the accumulated achievements and reputations in my life to fight for xiaomi cars." ”
The reporter noted that at present, the Xiaomi automobile team has expanded rapidly, with more than 500 people at present, and the research and development centers are distributed in Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan. Xiaomi Auto's vehicle research and development focus is in Shanghai, and the Beijing team is more focused on autonomous driving, cockpit and supply chain. Lei Jun said that the progress of Xiaomi's car manufacturing and team work has far exceeded his expectations, and it is expected that Xiaomi automobile will be officially mass-produced in the first half of 2024.
Earlier, Lei Jun said that Xiaomi car manufacturing will be the last major entrepreneurial project in his life. "I had a huge interest in the EV industry back in 2013 and have invested in nearly ten companies in the smart EV space over the past seven or eight years."
