Lei Jun's recent withdrawal from a number of Xiaomi-affiliated companies has triggered market speculation.
According to Tianyan, since December, Lei Jun has successively withdrawn from the positions of legal representative, executive director or chairman of a number of Xiaomi affiliated companies, including Guangdong Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Xiaomi Communication Technology Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Xiaomi Information Service Co., Ltd., and Zhuhai Xiaomi Communication Technology Co., Ltd.
On the morning of December 14, Wang Hua, general manager of Xiaomi's public relations department, responded on Weibo that "Lei Jun quit a number of Xiaomi affiliated companies" and said that the behavior was a normal change.
Wang Hua said that Lei Jun's energy this year is mainly focused on car-related matters, and executives can already share some of the relevant work and responsibilities. "I believe that everyone still remembers at the investor meeting, Mr. Lei happily revealed that 'the current progress of Xiaomi car manufacturing is faster than I expected.'" This information has shown that the work of Xiaomi car manufacturing has accelerated. The things that can be ignored must be ignored. ”
Xiaomi has gained a lot of attention since it announced its entry into the automotive industry in March this year. Xiaomi's first investment is 10 billion yuan, and it is expected to invest 10 billion US dollars in the next 10 years, and its smart electric vehicle is expected to be officially mass-produced in the first half of 2024.
In addition, yesterday some media said that Xiaomi Holdings' ecological chain company Zhimi Technology has joined the car-making army, and Ma Yongdong, former head of GM Pan-Asia's electric vehicle project, has joined in charge of Zhimi's vehicle business, and at the same time, many of BAIC's electrical and electronic architecture personnel have also recently joined Zhimi.
The market has speculated that this is equivalent to xiaomi group double-line car, planning to have an internal horse race.
In this regard, Wang Hua responded that first, Xiaomi does not have a two-line car manufacturing plan; second, Zhimi is a Xiaomi ecological chain enterprise, and Xiaomi Group will not directly participate in Zhimi's strategic decision-making. "Zhimi is an ecological chain company, out of interest in researching electric vehicles, so it has formed a small team, and is currently doing very early work."
It is reported that Wang Hua was originally the deputy general manager of the public relations department of Xiaomi Group, and was promoted to the general manager of Xiaomi's public relations department at the end of last year, presided over the daily work, and directly reported to Wang Xiang, the president of the group.
summary:
Smart cars are one of the biggest outlets at the moment, Xiaomi cars are not too early to enter the game, and the opponents in the field are fiercely fighting like clouds. In fact, the science of car building is easy to "enroll", "skipping" is difficult, and "graduation" is even more difficult. Wang Yuquan, a technology investor, has said: Many technology companies do not die on the road of research and development, but on the eve of the completion of research and development and the inability to produce. Whether Xiaomi cars can usher in the dawn of the dawn, we can only give the answer to time.
