Today is the last day of 2021, another bumper year for some and another year old for some. I don't know which kind of people belong to, no matter which kind, tomorrow New Year's Day to welcome the new year, is a new beginning, during the holiday, everyone still has to be happy to welcome the arrival of the new year.
Looking back at the past 2021, China's mobile phone market has undergone earth-shaking changes. Among them, the strongest Huawei has been completely squeezed out of the top five because of four rounds of suppression. In the high-end machine market, the country has become a situation in which Apple and Xiaomi compete for supremacy.
In terms of global market share, Xiaomi continued to make efforts to surpass Apple in the second quarter to become the world's second, which also gave Xiaomi the confidence to impact the world's first. To say that one of the biggest changes in Xiaomi this year, I think it is that Xiaomi continues to cultivate the offline market. By the end of October this year, the number of Xiaomi Homes nationwide officially exceeded 10,000.
The number of millet homes has exceeded 10,000, which is just the beginning. After reaching this milestone, Xiaomi Home also continued to expand rapidly. On the morning of December 13th, Xiaomi opened two Xiaomi Homes in Chongqing, namely Xiaomi Home Chongqing Joy City Store and Xiaomi Home Chongqing Jiangbei Airport T3 Terminal Store. The Xiaomi Mi 12 series that has just been released has also arrived at the same time, causing a lot of rice noodles to go.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi began to implement the integration of sales and services this year, and at the same time implemented the image of Xiaomi Home 4.0 stores in decoration, in addition to unified visual design and after-sales service support, mobile phones and AIoT products are also readily available. Tonight, the Xiaomi Mi 12 is officially on sale, and Chongqing's rice noodle users can go to the store to hand the real machine, and there are good gifts on the first day of opening.
As a store integrating Xiaomi's sales and clothing, rice noodles can also enjoy various after-sales services, such as online shopping and offline pickup, regular free film, disinfection and other services.
Tomorrow is 2022, and in less than a month, China's Spring Festival is just around the corner. What new changes will be made in the Chinese mobile phone market next year, and whether Xiaomi Home will bring greater impact to the offline market of Chinese mobile phones, it is still very worth looking forward to. Overall, this year's Millet has achieved good results. Tonight is New Year's Eve 2021, where are you going?
