According to the information of Tianyancha, Lei Jun has recently withdrawn from the positions of legal representative, executive director or chairman of a number of Xiaomi affiliated companies, including Guangdong Xiaomi Technology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., Zhuhai Xiaomi Communication Technology Co., Ltd., Xiaomi Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. and so on.
In response, Wang Hua, general manager of Xiaomi Public Relations, responded on Weibo on December 14 that the behavior was a normal change. He 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. Wang Hua also said that this is a gesture, but also an action. "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. ”
Previously, according to 36Kr, Xiaomi Holdings' ecological chain company Zhimi Technology has joined the car-making army, and Ma Yongdong, former head of GM's Pan-Asian 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. At the same time, there are also car design companies that are already in contact with Zhimi to dock the vehicle design work. The outside world interprets this as Xiaomi's "two-line car- building" strategy.
In response to this news, Wang Hua posted a response on his personal Weibo that Xiaomi did not have a two-line car manufacturing plan. Zhimi is a Xiaomi ecological chain enterprise, and Xiaomi Group will not directly participate in Zhimi's strategic decision-making. Out of interest in researching electric vehicles, Zhimi has formed a small team to do very early work.
