Dear Rice Noodle Friends,
Today is April 6th, Xiaomi's birthday. Today, twelve years later, 13 of us drank a bowl of millet porridge together, started a business in a very small office in Zhongguancun. After so many years of struggle, it has finally achieved the youngest Fortune 500 company in history. Attached is a group photo of executives in Beijing today
Today is also the annual Rice Noodle Festival. Whenever this common holiday comes, my heart is always full of emotion and gratitude. Remember 10 years ago, when the first rice noodle festival was held, we held a party with rice noodles, and the venue was very small, only a few hundred rice noodles; Xiaomi is also small, a new face for a company that has just sold more than 2 million phones. This year, the rice noodle festival has come to the 11th session, in China's loyal rice noodle friends have been tens of millions, millet has also grown a lot, to build a huge and rich intelligent ecology, is moving towards the goal of the world's first mobile phone industry.
10 years of time, vicissitudes. But on this special day, it's just as exciting, because we've been together, all the time on the road to a better future.
This road will not always be smooth, but it is a moving scenery to go hand in hand. The theme of this year's Rice Noodle Festival is "Rush to the Future, It's Good to Have You" This festival is not only to give back to more friends with exceptionally preferential products, but also to cheer for all friends who pursue a better future with everyone.
Recently, we jointly launched the Xiaomi Mi 12 Global Film Festival Solicitation "Running China" with China Daily New Media, many rice noodles and professional photographers participated in and shared their excellent works, each photo tells a story about love and strength, which makes me very moved, I believe you will feel the same way. At present, the film festival is being exhibited in The Millet House in Beijing, Chengdu, Shenzhen and other cities, and more than 10,000 Xiaomi Homes across the country will also present these wonderful moments synchronously, welcome to punch the clock.
At the same time, we also opened the "Rice Noodle Charity Month" activity at the same time in the Rice Noodle Festival, hoping to support the public welfare project together with the enthusiastic rice noodle friends through the Xiaomi public welfare platform, to help more people who are full of yearning for a better future, so that the world can be better because of our efforts together.
There is rice noodles first, and then there is the rice noodle festival. Stories written together, recorded common memories, is the meaning of the anniversary. Rice Noodle Festival is our common anniversary. I believe that together, there will be more moving stories and a better future worth rushing to.
Thank you again, dear rice noodle friends, let us celebrate The Happy 12th Birthday of Xiaomi, and wish us happiness forever!
Lei Jun
