Lei Jun's Interview Insights on Xiaomi's Development and Challenges

TapTechNews August 6th news, blogger Li Xiang released a video on July 31st, which is about an exclusive interview with Lei Jun, the founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi in April this year, rehashing how Lei Jun has been'reversing fate' all the way in the three years of making cars.

Lei Jun mentioned in the interview: 'The unlucky thing for me is that I always compare with Apple and Huawei. I have to be more amazing than these two big brothers. Some people ask me why I can't be better than Apple. I said that Xiaomi is 40 billion, and they are 3 trillion. Even if you give me 1 trillion US dollars, I can be more amazing than them. Some people speak very harshly, like 'budget phone', 'assembled', and why no one around me uses Xiaomi. Are you bragging again? But the awesomeness of Apple and the awesomeness of Huawei can't stop the light of Xiaomi, and the result of comparing with Apple and Huawei still promotes the progress of Xiaomi.'

TapTechNews noticed that Lei Jun also talked about the benefits of getting up early in the exclusive interview: 'Because I have to run and go to work, so I basically changed to getting up at more than six o'clock. Later, when I ran less, I found that getting up at more than six o'clock is very good. You arrive at the office at more than seven o'clock, and you get more than an hour for nothing. With this more than one hour, sorting out the work of the day, it seems that life has become longer. Maybe many people always feel that their living habits are to sleep at two or three o'clock in the morning. Especially for young people, in fact, you can try it. When you get up at six o'clock every morning, you will definitely be sleepy at twelve o'clock.'

When it comes to the pricing of Xiaomi SU7, Lei Jun said that he was under a lot of pressure at that time. Lei Jun revealed: 'What causes the pricing pressure? It's still the competitors leading the rhythm, saying 179,000 or 189,000, so that no matter what price I set, it won't exceed expectations. There is a competitor who keeps smearing us desperately, which is the result of unhealthy competition. If there is no such competitor constantly making troubles, we won't be so tangled.'
