As we all know, Lei Jun has a nickname called "leibus". The commendatory part is to compare him to the Chinese version of jobs and create a new era of mobile phones; The derogatory sense is that he will only copy other people's ideas.

Now after such a long time of concealment, Xiaomi finally announced that it was going to build a car. After reading the news, I can't help thinking, does Lei Jun want to be "resk" again and clone what musk has done again? In that case, there will be nothing to look forward to when Xiaomi builds a car.

The new idea of electric vehicles is the Internet. Therefore, Xiaomi has many inherent advantages over Tesla. In terms of mobile phones, in 2020, the shipment of Xiaomi mobile phones reached 146 million, ranking fifth in the mainland market. In terms of ecology, the number of IOT devices (excluding smartphones and laptops) connected to Xiaomi aiot platform also reached 3.24 Million, and the number of monthly active users of artificial intelligence assistants ("Xiaoai classmate") also reached 86.7 million. In other words, Xiaomi has the Internet users Tesla wants to have by building cars, and Xiaomi builds cars by laying a better foundation for its Internet applications through high-frequency hardware products such as cars.

Therefore, we expect Lei Jun not to create a Wuhan version of Tesla, but a new form of Internet platform to break through the current stagnant situation of the Internet with innovation and make the Internet more deeply integrated with industry and daily life.

That kind of future has more value than money.
