Talking about Xiaomi’s struggles in the past 8 years, Lei Jun said that after eight years of entrepreneurship, Xiaomi has undergone many changes. Xiaomi has done many “impossibles” in the business world. It rose from a small company of a little more than 10 people to the world’s fourth-largest mobile phone brand. At the same time, it has established the world’s largest consumer-grade IoT platform.
Furthermore, he stressed that no matter how big Xiaomi grows, what remains unchanged is the original intention of its business and the principle of insisting on making friends with users. We always insist on doing a good product that is “moving people and being kind,” so that everyone in the world can enjoy the wonderful life brought by technology, Lei Jun said.
Lei Jun said that the current global mobile phone market is experiencing a period of low tide, which may continue to the 5G real large-scale commercialization, and Xiaomi is ready to fight a long-term battle. According to Lei Jun, Xiaomi will continue to work hard in the areas of quality, innovation, and delivery, to lay a solid foundation for the spring of 5G.
