We found the location of the Xiaomi car factory.

Since Lei Jun announced that Xiaomi car was built, where Xiaomi cars settled, there has been a lot of noise. In November last year, the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone signed a "Cooperation Agreement" with Xiaomi Technology, announcing that Xiaomi Automobile had settled in the Beijing Economic Development Zone.

On February 16 this year, yicheng times sponsored by the management committee of Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone published an article entitled "Coordinated Development Accelerates the High-quality Construction of Majuqiao Town", which mentioned that "Majuqiao Intelligent Manufacturing Base has become the landing choice of Xiaomi Automobile".

Coupled with many media reports on the planning of the Majuqiao intelligent manufacturing base, it can be determined that the Xiaomi automobile factory will rise in this area in the next two years and achieve mass production off the production line.

On February 15, Che Dongxi came to the Majuqiao Manufacturing Base in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone and found the planning address of xiaomi automobile factory, the farmland on the west side of Fangxindian Village in Majuqiao Town.

According to local villagers, last year, this land could produce thousands of catties of radish and cabbage per mu, and it was not allowed to be planted this year, because the millet automobile factory will soon start construction.

▲Xiaomi Automobile Phase I planning place

This land is only the first phase of Xiaomi Automobile's annual output of 150,000 vehicles. According to the plan, the xiaomi phase II project with an annual output of 150,000 vehicles will start construction on the south side of Fangxindian Village, which is now the sorting center of Jingdong Express.

With the rise of Xiaomi automobile factories, it can attract a lot of surrounding labor. Perhaps in the next few years, the living conditions of Fangxindian and several surrounding villages that are almost all bungalows can be improved, and Majuqiao Town will also witness the take-off of Beijing's electric vehicle manufacturing industry.

First, visit the Majuqiao Intelligent Manufacturing Base to find the Millet Factory

On Xizhou Road in Majuqiao Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing, a three-story small building was built, the Majuqiao Intelligent Manufacturing Base Evacuation Headquarters, and the staff in this small building shouldered the task of vacating and retiring before the construction of the Majuqiao Intelligent Manufacturing Base.

▲Majuqiao Intelligent Manufacturing Base Retreat Headquarters

According to the plan, the vacated area is divided into five lots. Of the 45 administrative villages in the administrative district of Majuqiao Town, 8 administrative villages are divided into five lots, and these 8 administrative villages are surrounded by the Tenghui Headquarters.

In the future, the five lots allocated in the Vacate Command will become an important part of the Majuqiao Intelligent Manufacturing Base, and the Xiaomi Automobile Factory is among them.

In November last year, the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone News Center "Beijing Yizhuang" published an article inadvertently revealing the address of the Xiaomi car project. A display board titled "Xiaomi Automobile Project Situation" reads "Project Site Selection Yizhuang New Town (Tongzhou Area) Majuqiao Intelligent Manufacturing Base... North to Jingsheng South Fourth Street, south to Yitong Street, west to Tongyi Road, east to Huankexi 1st Road..."

At that time, the docent was explaining to the party and government leadership team of Tongzhou District about the Xiaomi automobile project of the Majuqiao Intelligent Intelligent Manufacturing Base.

In addition, the exhibition board also introduced the investment scale and planned output information of the two phases of Xiaomi Automobile, as well as the construction schedule. Among them, the Xiaomi automobile project in November 2021 has completed a comprehensive implementation plan.

Some of the text in this display board is relatively vague and difficult to see, but this is also the most detailed description of the site of Xiaomi Automobile Factory so far.

If you look for it in the map app, Jingsheng South Fourth Street can actually be equated with New Fourth Street, and this road is also the northernmost part of the vacated area. At present, Yitong Street, Tongyi Road, and Huankexi Road cannot be found on the map.

The Middle Huanke Road, which has a similar name to Huankexi Road, can be found on the map, but it is actually north of the Xizhou Road where the Tengchu Headquarters is located, and the two are essentially a road. The location of Huankexi 1st Road is as the name suggests to be west of Huanke Middle Road.

In this way, even if Yitong Street and Tongyi Road cannot be found at all, we can roughly judge the location of xiaomi automobile factory: the main body is in Fangxindian Village and Xiaozhangwan Village.

▲Xiaomi Automobile Factory planning site and surrounding areas

In addition, Weibo netizen @Majuqiao Saw and Photographed the "Schematic Map of the Location of the First-class Development Project of the Majuqiao Intelligent Manufacturing Base in Yizhuang New Town", which clearly marked the detailed location of xiaomi's phase I and phase II factories.

▲Weibo netizen @Majuqiao saw and posted pictures

Among them, xiaomi phase I factory is located in the east side of Fangxindian Village and part of the farmland south of Zhangcun, and Xiaomi Phase II factory is located on the south side of Fangxindian Village and the south side of Xiaozhangwan Village.

It should be noted that this map is not currently released through the Beijing Economic Development Zone or other media channels, but the annotations in the picture are completely consistent with the previous inference - the location of the Xiaomi Automobile Factory is where Fangxindian Village and Xiaozhangwan Village are located today.

The location of the second and first phases was once farmland Radish cabbage yielded thousands of catties per acre

From the Teng retreat headquarters, through Xiaozhangwan Village, we arrived at Fangxindian Village.

Along the way, the living conditions in several villages in the vacated area are not good, there are several two-storey buildings on the main road of the village, and most of the others are bungalows. At the same time, almost every household has a sign hanging at the door, which reads "there is a house for rent", and the heating is still a "plus" for several village listings.

▲Xiaozhangwan Village

Since the south side of Fangxindian Village is the Jingdong Sorting Center, many tenants in Fangxindian Village are working in the sorting center, and many of them wear the clothing of Jingdong Express.

▲Fangxindian Village Entrance

Out of the Fangxindian Village Entrance, into the Fangxindian West Road, there is a piece of farmland on the north and south sides. When the car arrived, security patrols were driving through the area.

Nearby villagers revealed to Che Dong that this is where the Xiaomi factory is located, but the specific plan is not clear.

In the farmland on the south side of the road, there is a nearby villager who has been working in the farmland since last year.

He confirmed to Che Dong that these two farmlands will be Xiaomi's car factory in the future.

He said: "Last year, these two plots were planted with cabbage and turnips, and at that time, I came to Beijing from other places to work and help collect cabbage and turnips in the farmland. ”

▲Xiaomi factory phase I location (south side)

It is understood that the area of this farmland is more than 300 mu, and the vegetable yield per 1 mu of land last year was several thousand catties.

He said: "Last year, I didn't make money, the first year of land preparation, labor expenses are relatively large, but this year has been notified not to let the seeds." It seems that the company can give some compensation, and it is said that the rent was waived after receiving vegetables last year. ”

In addition, the villager also shared what he saw in the days after the Spring Festival holiday.

He said that two days ago, geological prospectors had arrived and more than a dozen rigs had entered the site.

However, the geological prospectors soon withdrew. "Probably because the Winter Olympics are underway, after the geological prospectors and rigs entered the field in the morning, the environmental protection department notified them to leave at noon and did not let them start." He introduced things to the car.

▲Xiaomi Car Phase I Location (North Side)

On the morning of the day of the visit (February 15), a group of people came to this farmland to investigate.

The villager said: "At 9 o'clock in the morning, three small minibuses came, and there were many people on the bus. A temporary display board was erected here, on which was painted the design of the Xiaomi factory. A docent introduced the planning of the Xiaomi factory, and then took a photo and left. ”

According to the pictures taken by @Majuqiao as shown above, the first phase of the Xiaomi car factory is in the farmland on the east side of Fangxindian Village, which is the area that the villager refers to.

When Beijing really blossoms in spring, the construction of the first phase of the Xiaomi Automobile Factory will begin rapidly.

Phase III and PHASE II involves the Jingdong Sorting Center Next door is the Mercedes-Benz factory

According to the plan, the annual production capacity of Xiaomi Automobile in the first phase is 150,000 vehicles, and the annual production capacity of the second phase of the project is also 150,000 vehicles. The address of the second phase of the project is in the southeast side of Fangxindian Village and the south side of Xiaozhangwan Village.

The second phase of Xiaomi Automobile covers the east area of Fangxindian Village, and also covers the southern area of Xiaozhangwan Village.

▲Xiaomi Automobile Factory Phase II Factory Planning (Approximate Location)

In addition to the villagers' houses, the two areas also have the Jingdong Sorting Center. The Jingdong Sorting Center is located on the southeast side of Fangxindian Village, and the factory is very busy, and the logistics trucks drive out of the yard one after another.

▲Jingdong sorting center on the south side of Fangxindian Village

On the north side of the Jingdong Sorting Center, there is a temporary parking lot, which also belongs to Fangxindian Village, and a number of "Vacated Area" signs have been erected outside the parking lot, which will become a part of the Majuqiao Intelligent Manufacturing Base in the future.

There is also a question, why did Xiaomi Automobile choose the Majuqiao Intelligent Manufacturing Base in Beijing to build a factory?

Along the site of the first phase of Xiaomi Automobile project, it is less than 1 kilometer away from the Beijing Benz factory and the BAIC BJEV high-end intelligent ecological factory under construction. More importantly, there is also a high-end automobile and new energy vehicle key parts industrial park.

▲Beijing Mercedes-Benz factory and Xiaomi factory

Obviously, Xiaomi has built a factory here and can rely on the relatively complete new energy automobile parts industry in this region.

▲It runs through Fangxindian West Road, where the first phase of xiaomi factory is planned

At the intersection of the farmland around the first phase of the Xiaomi factory, a road closure announcement was posted: part of The Shidong Road between the Xiaomi Automobile Phase I project and the BAIC BJEV high-end intelligent ecological factory will be closed. The road closure will last for one year, from 7 February 2022 to 7 February 2023. During this period, it happens to be a critical period for the construction of xiaomi automobile factories.

▲The road around the factory will be closed for one year

In addition, from the map, the area of the Mercedes-Benz factory in Beijing is significantly larger. In 2020, the annual output of the Mercedes-Benz factory in Beijing will reach 600,000 units. With the completion of the construction of the two phases of Xiaomi's factory, the design annual output of 300,000 vehicles, the utilization rate of land needs to be higher.

When interviewing nearby villagers, he told Che Dong that the living conditions in the surrounding villages are indeed worse than in the city, and if the millet factory can be built, it will definitely drive the development of the surrounding areas. For example, the bungalows in several villages have been vacated and moved into new homes, and the village labor force has entered the factory to work, which can make people's lives better.

Fourth, visit the Xiaomi car registration place has two floors into the office

In the evening, the car came to the registered place of Xiaomi Automobile - No. 15 Courtyard of Kechuang Tenth Street, Jingkai District.

▲The Xiaomi Automobile Factory is relatively close to the place where Xiaomi Automobile is registered

Here is an industrial park set up by Xiaomi in Yizhuang, where the staff of Xiaomi, Xiaomi Qinghe University and Kingsoft Cloud work here. The ride-hailing itinerary shows that the distance from the planned place of the first phase of the Xiaomi Automobile Factory to the registration place of Xiaomi Automobile is 10.06 kilometers.

▲Xiaomi car registration place

There are also four huge factories next to the office building, which are Xiaomi's "black light factory" and logistics center, and Xiaomi has even built an overpass in the factory, and the first and second floors can be loaded at the same time. When the cars arrived, there were also many logistics trucks loading goods in the factory area.

▲Logistics vehicles in xiaomi industrial park

The lights of the office building where Xiaomi Automobile is registered have been lit, but there are not many people working in the office building, more than half of the lights on the 2nd floor are on, only a small area of the registration place of "Xiaomi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd." on the 6th floor is lit, and the lights of the 8th floor "Xiaomi Automobile Co., Ltd." Registration Place are not turned on.

Although this is the registration place of Xiaomi Cars, R&D personnel may not all be working here at this stage. When the research and development of Xiaomi cars can begin on a large scale, it may be a while longer.

Conclusion: Xiaomi cars set sail quickly

In 2022, Xiaomi Automobile was written into the Work Report of the Beijing Municipal Government and will promote the start of construction this year. At the same time, the Beijing Economic Development Zone and Majuqiao Intelligent Manufacturing Base accelerated the landing of Xiaomi cars and accelerated the start of Xiaomi cars.

In the near future, we are likely to see the official start of construction of the first phase of the Xiaomi Automobile project, and several administrative villages of the Majuqiao Intelligent Manufacturing Base will also usher in new changes.
