Resigned employees recalled that Zhou Guangping, a high-level struggle of Xiaomi in 2016, was "dismissed" by Lei Jun.

  "Is Xiaomi an Internet company?"

  Although Lei Jun preached his own answer as early as the beginning of his business, Xiaomi has never escaped the self-torture caused by the above topics for the next eight years.

  "Xiaomi is an Internet company that must focus on mobile phones, intelligent hardware and IoT platforms." In Xiaomi’s IPO prospectus, as many as three attributes were attached before the definition of "Internet company". The latter two are the new business opportunities that Xiaomi has developed for himself after experiencing the "U-shaped" trough in 2015.

  Lei Jun once felt that this new version of "Millet Genesis" should push its valuation to 100 billion dollars. But at least when it went public in July this year, the capital market only recognized 45 billion dollars-less than half of it. At the end of October, the company’s market value once fell to about 32.5 billion dollars.

On July 9, 2018, Xiaomi Group completed the ringing ceremony of listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

  Xiaomi urgently needs to prove to investors that he has enough imagination and considerable profit margin in commercial liquidity.

  On November 19, 133 days after the completion of the listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on July 9, Xiaomi Group announced its financial report for the third quarter of 2018. Although its mobile phone revenue still accounts for 68%, it has continued to decline compared with 70.30% in 2017-in 2015, this figure was still 80.4%.

  While the proportion of mobile phone revenue is shrinking, the revenue structure is growing from "Internet service" and "Internet of Things (IoT) and consumer products". Their contributions to Xiaomi’s total revenue have reached 9.2% and 22.1% respectively.

  In the past few years, due to the excessive number of MIUI systems and the premature implementation of the important mission of "realizing Internet services", the engineers of MIUI team had to directly face the performance tasks split to each of them, and the contradiction between user experience and realization once became very sharp.

  Fortunately, the hardware with non-"Mijia" label produced by more than 200 eco-chain companies invested by Xiaomi, especially sold through Xiaomi’s retail channels, is actively helping Xiaomi to unload some of the liquidity pressure on MIUI at least in the short and medium term-they don’t need to strictly abide by the rule of "the comprehensive net profit rate of hardware should not exceed 5%" set by Lei Jun, but are only required to be significantly lower than the profit rate of similar products in the same industry, as long as the price is competitive, the product concept and.

  There is a consensus in the industry that the smart phone market has entered the stock market, and the smart hardware launched by Xiaomi Eco-chain Company can not only contribute considerable hardware revenue, but also continuously provide the "Internet users" that Xiaomi craves, and they can even leap over the Android system to which MIUI belongs, winning a large number of iOS users for Xiaomi. The heavy responsibility of continuously expanding the sales of "IoT and consumer products" was handed over to Xiaomi’s so-called new retail strategy.

  However, in the face of increasingly complex business structure, this young company continues to increase its management challenges. The distance between the Internet ideal preached by Lei Jun and the realization reality faced by Xiaomi seems to be constantly being lengthened.

  # MIUI: realize, realize, realize #

  Just two weeks after Xiaomi announced the most important structural adjustment in the company’s history, "rice noodle" Zhang Yong left Xiaomi. To be precise, he made this decision after "powdering".

  He joined Xiaomi in early 2016, which was the darkest moment in the company’s eight-year history. But Zhang Yong had a very optimistic judgment at that time: it was an opportunity for an excellent company to "bargain-hunting".

  During that time, Xiaomi was at the end of a high-level personnel struggle. As the end of this struggle, in late May 2016, Lei Jun issued an internal letter about the appointment and dismissal of personnel, saying that "Zhou Guangping, co-founder and vice president of Xiaomi Technology, will be the chief scientist of Xiaomi". Zhou Guangping’s new position is described as "being responsible for the research in the frontier field of mobile phone technology", which is quite modest. In the past, the two business lines of Xiaomi mobile phone research and development and supply chain, which he led for many years, were changed to Lei Jun himself.

  Zhou Guangping’s downfall stems from the "Xiaomi 5 Incident" which began to ferment in the spring of 2015. Xiaomi 5 is the 5th generation mobile phone of Xiaomi. It was originally planned to be launched in June 2015, but it was not until February of the following year that the mobile phone was shipped from the factory. The reason is that Guo Jun, vice president of Xiaomi’s mobile phone supply chain, who reported to Zhou Guangping, almost offended Xiaomi’s suppliers. In the whole half year, there were 10 mobile phones on Xiaomi Mall, but only one or two were available. This is the starting point for Xiaomi to fall into a series of bad luck in the absolute core business of mobile phones.

  "Many people didn’t believe that (the company) would turn over from (Xiaomi) 5." Zhang Yong told China Business News. But what he didn’t expect was that Xiaomi’s turn-over journey, which took more than two years, eventually became his own "powder removal" journey.

  Being in Xiaomi Company, Zhang Yongcai gradually realized that the "ideal" and "model innovation" that Lei Jun preached every day had experienced layer-by-layer transmission, and the realistic pressure that he, a grass-roots product manager in MIUI department, had to face every day could have turned into an irreconcilable contradiction.

  The two system versions—MIUI 7 and MIUI 8 released in August 2015 and June 2016—are both called "ADUI", which means that it is an advertising system, not a user interaction system.

  These two systems will not only force advertisements to be pushed without customization by users, but also recommend other related or unrelated new applications in the form of buoys when users open some applications. The effect is just like the kind of advertisement floating window on many Internet pages. If you want to close it, you may not even find the entrance. Some users feel that their mobile phones have become like "warm babies", and it is suspected that there is something wrong with the battery. In fact, the system loads too much content.

  Outside, people began to label Xiaomi as a "giant baby company", which means to grow hands and feet first, then brains, and to form values because of its rapid growth. Didi Chuxing and today’s headlines were later considered as this type of company.

  This word may not be appropriate for Lei Jun.. He is nearly 50 years old and has successively listed four companies. Those companies can be called excellent, not excellent. He has said on many occasions that Xiaomi was the last company he founded in his lifetime. Even if it is not out of the social ideal of creating a national brand and promoting a new round of industrial revolution, he badly needs a company worth 100 billion dollars to prove himself.

  The problem Lei Jun faces is not that the company has no values, but that his expectations are so high that he will unconsciously create luck and rationalize some radical practices when he can’t reach them. "He once said at the press conference that we sell mobile phones at such a low price, and users are definitely willing to let us make some money on the system. If one day we are going out of business, there will be rice noodles to donate to us." Zhang Yong said.

  MIUI’s advertising space has been increasing under Lei Jun’s indifference. A person from Xiaomi’s public relations department told CBN Weekly that the company has never formulated a specific KPI for the MIUI department, let alone linked the liquidity to the salary of the employees in the department. However, Zhang Yong said that those numbers will be written into OKR(Objectives and Key Results) and become a kind of implicit encouragement. "The so-called OKR can actually be understood as KPI, and sometimes the bosses will blurt out’ KPI’ when they are in a hurry …"

  "The mission of engineers is no longer just to make a pure product, let alone have any energy to support them to polish a successful application that jumps out of Xiaomi system in terms of user value and is enough to serve the users of the whole network." Zhang Yong’s enthusiasm for the company is fading. Including himself, a word that MIUI engineers often talk about later is called "big market data"-always remember the real characteristics of Xiaomi mobile phone users and the corresponding user needs-and finally the products that they keep iterating in their hands are becoming more and more "headline-oriented" in content selection, in exchange for higher user stickiness and greater traffic. The final value of these efforts is to convert them into more advertising revenue.

  Xiaomi asked Nielsen, a data research company, to complete a customized user experience report. When the report was placed on Lei Jun’s desk, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

  Lei Jun spent a lot of money to restore the confidence of users. He asked the next MIUI9 to solve the core task, which is to let users re-realize that Xiaomi mobile phone is "as fast as lightning". To this end, "(advertising) can be cut first, and the manual switch is set for the advertising space that cannot be cut."

  At the Xiaomi Note 2 mobile phone conference in October 2016, taking advantage of most Xiaomi employees, Lei Jun suddenly released Xiaomi’s first full-screen concept mobile phone, Xiaomi MIX, at the end of the conference.

  Xiaomi has spent two years on the research and development of this mobile phone. It uses a ceramic body to prepare for wireless charging and the arrival of the 5G era. More importantly, Xiaomi became the first mobile phone company in the world to make a 17: 9 screen at that time. In Lei Jun’s words, the advent of MIX was the result of Xiaomi’s "development at no cost", and when the first batch of MIX mobile phones were mass-produced, the yield was less than 10%, which meant that the cost of each mobile phone was equivalent to 10 mobile phones.

  Zhang Yong experienced this scene, and that moment really made him feel a little bit when he became a "rice noodle". "It’s the kind of feeling that really makes you forever young and always in tears. At that time, after reading the introduction of Note 2 in the audience, I took a meal first, and then the PPT flashed, my God. " Zhang Yong knows that after Zhou Guangping was persuaded to retreat, Lei Jun personally took the Xiaomi mobile phone team all the way to support it, just for the arrival of this moment-"In order to let all rice noodles see the Xiaomi who once met the Buddha and killed the Buddha and only pursued technology." "

  The release of MIX is an important encouragement to the morale of Xiaomi team.

  In June 2017, when the refreshing mobile phone system MIUI9 was released, Zhang Yong’s confidence in the company was once again enhanced. However, that fundamental contradiction has not been solved. "In this version of MIUI10, the advertising space that came back has all come back." The Internet service represented by MIUI department is still Xiaomi’s greatest hope to achieve overall profit-although the revenue ratio is not high, its gross profit margin can currently exceed 60%, while the gross profit margin of smartphones is only about 6% to 8%, and the gross profit margin of IoT and consumer products is also not high, at around 10%.

  This temptation is implied in the business model of "small profits but quick turnover" put forward by Lei Jun in 2010: first enlarge the scale of hardware users, and then get more profits from the Internet service level.

  Facts have proved that this model is a bit idealistic.

  # Xiaomi New Retail: Sales Volume, Sales Volume, Sales Volume #

  Since Xiaomi decided to open an offline store, its first step was to transform and upgrade Xiaomi Home, which only undertook after-sales service before.

  Lei Jun has publicly stated that it is actually "too late to start" to really transform Xiaomi House in 2016. At the end of 2016, there were only 51 "Xiaomi Home" stores that were given retail functions again. Then in just two years, the number of stores expanded to 499-almost twice that of MUJI, which started to open stores in China in 2008.

  In order to further complete the sinking to the lower-end market, in addition to the store model of Xiaomi House, Xiaomi successively launched two forms of stores: "Xiaomi Authorized Experience Store" and "Xiaomi Store" in 2016. The relationship between these three stores is that the closer to the county and township, the greater the difference between the appearance of the latter two stores and the flagship store of Xiaomi House.

  In the latest quarterly report, Xiaomi took the initiative to mention a "great leap forward" in its new retail business-it opened 740 "authorized experience stores" in 90 days, increasing the total number of offline stores in this format to 1,100, covering 563 counties across the country, and this number should be at least doubled in the future.

  More subtly, the term "Xiaomi Store" gradually disappeared in Xiaomi’s public relations communication. Its iterative name is "Xiaomi franchise store" or "direct supply point". The number of such stores has now exceeded 37,000, and their task is to further sink Xiaomi’s channel network to tens of thousands of towns and villages across the country.

  On October 1, 2018, in Wuhan, Hubei Province, the flagship store of Xiaomi Home, located in Chuhehan Street, the most famous local commercial street, opened. This flagship store, which has three floors and is by far the largest in China, sells all kinds of goods, such as mobile phones, computers, rice cookers, electric toothbrushes and even towels, and the minimum inventory units (SKUs) except mobile phones add up to more than 700. Besides, this is just a mobile phone shop, which is completely inappropriate. It looks like IKEA-there are even model rooms in the store.

  Lei Jun’s ideal model for offline stores is MUJI: the product category structure is diversified, the product design and display methods are extremely simple, the location tends to be shopping centers, and the sales model, he also hopes to "cut off the middlemen" and run the store himself like MUJI.

  These practices are different from the traditional offline distribution model of mobile phones. Take OPPO and vivo, which mainly gain market share offline, as an example. Both companies pursue a three-level agency model from "national generation" to "provincial generation" and then to "county generation". "Sometimes there will be more levels." A retired employee of vivo told China Business News that those agents usually open their stores in the streets where mobile phone brands gather, and the goods in the stores are basically mobile phones.

  Diversified commodity structure and location strategy make Xiaomi House look more attractive than offline stores of OPPO or vivo, but its market coverage is limited. Xiaomi originally hoped to sink into more third-and fourth-tier markets with weak online shopping habits through this model. However, according to its third-quarter financial report just released, Xiaomi’s 499 Xiaomi homes in mainland China are mainly distributed in first-and second-tier cities. According to the news provided by Xiaomi’s public relations department to CBN Weekly, Xiaomi will not increase the number of such stores in the future.

  This makes the actual number of Xiaomi homes only half of Lei Jun’s original goal. In February 2017, at the Yabuli Forum, Lei Jun proposed to open 1,000 millet homes within three years. At present, a large part of Xiaomi House which has been opened is actually invested by franchisees. Xiaomi official never disclosed the ratio of this model to the fully self-operated Xiaomi House, but Sun Yanbiao, president of the First Mobile Phone Research Institute, told CBN Weekly that Xiaomi only kept a few model stores in some cities for self-operation, while others were funded by franchisees, and Xiaomi sent teams to operate. According to the data he provided, each franchisee has to spend at least 1 million yuan to join a store.

  When the "Xiaomi Xiaodian" project was first established in 2016, Xiaomi expected to join this cause with its hundreds of millions of rice noodles. Xiaomi store has set a very low threshold for franchisees, and even a college student without any savings or stores can open a Xiaomi store. But the people who really joined this business later were not the "ideal candidates" for Xiaomi, or rice noodles.

  Xinzhou District, 40km away from downtown Wuhan, is a county town with a resident population of only about 200,000. Xie Wendong, who lives there, was the first franchisee to come into contact with Xiaomi Store. Before, he had a shop of about 80 square meters in the local pedestrian street, mainly selling LeTV. Considering that the introduction of millet products might bring new passengers to the store, he registered and applied for a Xiaomi shop to try.

  The process of opening a store is relatively smooth. Xie Wendong said, "Just scan a QR code and there are dozens of questions to see if you agree with the brand concept. If you get 80 points or more, you will pass, which is particularly simple." After that, he received an account, which was used to log in to Xiaomi Store’s website to purchase goods in the background.

  Xie Wendong selected more than 80 products at first, but so far all he sells in his shop are Xiao Ai speakers, several Xiaomi TVs, and more than 20 products that don’t take up much space, such as towels, rainbow batteries and signature pens. These products can bring him passengers, but "from the point of view of our businessmen’s pursuit of maximizing profits, it’s really unprofitable." Xie Wendong said that he compared the LeTV products he had operated with OPPO and vivo, which have 30% gross profit space across the street.

  Unlike other mobile phone brands, which get goods directly according to the price of secondary or tertiary channels, Xiaomi’s next store adopts a rebate mode-Xie Wendong first gets the goods in full according to the price in the background, and the price is the retail guide price marked online at that time, and only after the goods are sold can he get the "income" next month. He showed reporters the background operating system of Xiaomi Store. Clicking on a mobile phone with a retail price of 999 yuan at will pop up and tell the merchant that the profit is 180 yuan, and the profit from selling a rice cooker at a price of 999 yuan is 149 yuan. It seems that this "rebate" is not low, but Xie Wendong still shouts that he will not make money-the problem is that Xiaomi has no "guaranteed price" strategy for small stores.

  "I sell 999 yuan for a mobile phone, but at the same time JD.COM may only sell 699 yuan for activities. I can only take the initiative to reduce the price myself. So even if Xiaomi returns to 180 yuan, in the end, we actually don’t make money at all. " Xie Wendong said. At the same time, the franchisee of Xiaomi Store is not optimistic about the penetration of Xiaomi in low-tier cities-in Xinzhou, a county town with a per capita monthly income of 2,000 yuan, it is still unrealistic for a family to accept new things like IoT. Some of his customers will buy 299 yuan small love speakers because they are fresh and fun, but after a month or two, they will become idle products at home.

  Xiaomi’s idea of selling mobile phones by rice flour is good. After all, only people who understand Xiaomi and believe in Xiaomi’s brand concept can better complete the sales of goods through word-of-mouth marketing, but Xie Wendong is not such rice flour. Sometimes, for business reasons, he will "operate" more. For example, when JD.COM reduces the price, he will get the goods from JD.COM, or open a shop on Taobao, and sell the inventory in the shop to customers far away in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Some real estate developers there like to get the goods from him best, and they can either invoice or negotiate the price. Later, Xiaomi official also deliberately played down the active spread of Xiaomi store.

  Qin Fuyong is also a Xiaomi franchisee in Wuhan. Unlike Xie Wendong, he has bid farewell to the primary store model of Xiaomi Store and has a Xiaomi authorized experience store.

  Qin Fuyong is optimistic about Xiaomi. "Although the profit margin is small, the volume is large and the efficiency can be high." He told China Business News that the practice of OPPO and vivo would become less and less attractive to him.

  Qin Fuyong actually "promoted" from Xiaomi store to authorized store. His performance during the Xiaomi store was not bad, which attracted the attention of the store management team under Xiaomi. In August this year, Xiaomi Company sent a provincial manager to visit his store several times, and took the initiative to upgrade Qin Fuyong’s direct supply point to Xiaomi authorized store. The authorized store model enjoys the "guaranteed price" policy-when the online price is lower than the delivery price, Qin Fuyong can sell at the online price, and the company will subsidize the difference together.

  However, if you want to become an authorized store, you need to act as an agent for franchisees to purchase goods worth 400,000 yuan at one time. Moreover, although Qin Fuyong thinks that Xiaomi’s "new retail" is more promising, he feels at a loss in the specific store operation. "I don’t know how to do it. I didn’t think about it. Maybe Xiaomi didn’t think too well." What he doesn’t understand includes the whole set of business methods from commodity structure, in-store display, dynamic line design and marketing. How to do every link in the end is almost explored by Qin Fuyong himself. During the whole process of opening a store, Xiaomi’s store operators only provided a set of standardized solutions for store decoration for his reference.

  If the business is good enough, Qin Fuyong intends to open more stores, but he is not very happy that the authorized store he has painstakingly managed has to assume the role of so-called "offline experience"-those customers who come to the store only look at it and don’t buy it, which is actually zero contribution to his business.

  The "selling goods" at the level of authorized stores make the price of millet products in many areas chaotic, and the different store images also make it difficult for consumers to form brand awareness. However, these problems are not in Xiaomi’s task management list at present. Xiaomi’s goal at this stage is to open more shops run by agents. "At least there is no upper limit at present." After Xiaomi announced the third quarterly report, the above-mentioned Xiaomi public relations department told China Business News.

  # "Eco-chain" company: users, users, users #

  More than 200 Xiaomi "eco-chain" companies provide SKUs for Xiaomi’s offline stores.

  Hans tung, managing partner of GGV ggv capital, first heard Lei Jun put forward the word "ecological chain" in September 2013. At that time, he attended the Global Mobile Internet Conference (GMIC) in Silicon Valley. Lei Jun and several people from Shun Wei Capital found him and told a story about Xiaomi’s upgrade.

  "At that time, he mentioned that he wanted to be a Xiaomi ecological chain. We all thought this idea was very good, because Xiaomi already had a brand effect. Everyone was used to buying things in its App or Xiaomi Mall. If more products can be added, we think this model is worth exploring." Hans tung told China Business News.

  According to Lei Jun’s idea, Xiaomi can create an ecological circle with the smart phone as the core, and a smart home circle and lifestyle consumables circle can also be constructed around the mobile phone. All the intelligent hardware in these products can be controlled by MIUI, which can not only expand the number of users on the Xiaomi market, but also play a role in draining the frequency of physical store-to-store-compared with towels or batteries, people may only change their mobile phones once a year or two.

  Among all commodities, Xiaomi only designs and produces a few items such as mobile phones, televisions, routers and smart speakers to stay focused. Other intelligent hardware products such as mobile power supply, desk lamp, rice cooker and water purifier, or lifestyle products such as towels, batteries and electric toothbrushes are all handed over to the eco-chain company for operation. Xiaomi will "empower" these companies with its product concept, design capability, supply chain resources, sales channels and successful experience.

  Most of the "eco-chain" companies attracted by Xiaomi and his investment team are startups. They take "a certain rice" as their brand name, and some of them don’t even have a formed company form when they receive investment. For example, Zimi, which produces mobile power supply, is the result of "proposition composition". Its founder, Zhang Feng, was originally the general manager of NVIDIA. After talking with Lei Jun and Liu Deshen, Zhang Feng accepted the proposal that the two founders of Xiaomi wanted him to set up a company to develop mobile power supply.

  This model has great advantages at the beginning. Under the guidance of Xiaomi, some eco-chain companies quickly produced the first "explosive products".

  On April 8, 2015, Huami bracelet, one of the most famous products in Xiaomi ecological chain, achieved a single-day sales of 208,000 pieces.

  The first product released by TS Glasses with the help of Xiaomi platform is its nylon polarized sunglasses which participated in "Xiaomi Crowdfunding" in February 2017 and achieved 1130% completion. Two months later, it officially joined the Xiaomi ecological chain. "When Xiaomi has a meeting with us, he often reminds us to do the basic idea first, that is, you should do the’ single item explosion’ first, and don’t consider too many other things at first." Yan Jin, general manager of TS glasses, told CBN Weekly that Xiaomi’s biggest advice to eco-chain companies is that the first product must "break through", that is, it will quickly occupy the market through low prices, leaving competitors’ products with little room for survival.

  According to Xiaomi’s product positioning suggestion, the first product of TS glasses is made into sunglasses without offline optometry, and the price is set at 199 yuan, because according to Xiaomi’s online business experience, "once the customer’s unit price exceeds 200 yuan, the sales volume will drop by 70%". In the procurement process, Xiaomi added TS glasses to the joint procurement list that needs to purchase silicone just like mobile phones and bracelets, which made this sunglasses match the suppliers of high-end competing products in the market from the beginning, and the cost was lower than the other party. Because of the sales platform provided by Xiaomi, the first production order, TS glasses opened the quantity to the order of 100,000 pairs.

  Shenzhen Yunmi’s first water purifier is also such a process. It learns from Xiaomi to re-examine all links in the supply chain, cut off those parts that can be "cost down" and improve those designs with poor experience. In the end, it changed the assembled waterway in the traditional water purifier into an integrated waterway, which not only solved the problem of easy water leakage of the assembled waterway, but also reduced the injection cost through the large-scale procurement of Xiaomi platform. In the water purifier market with an average price of about 5,000 yuan, Yunmi manufactured a product with a price of 1,999 yuan for Xiaomi platform.

  These companies and products began to prepare in 2013. When Xiaomi House opened its offline store in 2016, goods were available for sale immediately. After that, it is difficult to empty the shelves of the store under the rice noodle.

  But not all products are as easy to re-examine the cost and design as mobile phones. "Some products have natural inventory turnover problems, such as clothing, as well as seasonal and fashion trends. No matter how efficient I am, it is impossible to guarantee that it is like a fan (long-term sales), then its cost-effective gross profit margin must be greater than that of a fan." A founder of an eco-chain enterprise who did not want to disclose his identity told China Business News.

  Even the little ants who produce cameras can’t do this. "We said that you should quickly penetrate the market with lower price and faster reaction speed, but the other party did not follow our logic, and its pricing was very expensive. In this case, it is equivalent to not breaking through. It should have sold two or three billion yuan a year, but now it is still hovering over hundreds of millions. " Liu De, co-founder of Xiaomi, who was in charge of the eco-chain business, said in an interview with China Business News in November 2016.

  According to the investment agreement, Xiaomi will customize some products in these companies by means of project establishment, and the relevant person in charge of Xiaomi’s eco-chain products will participate in the project establishment. If they are products of eco-chain companies’ own brands, they will have more autonomy. That is to say, if you choose to sell in Xiaomi channel and make "Mijia" branded products, you should follow Xiaomi’s 5% profit margin setting. Products that are not sold through Xiaomi channel need to set up another brand. Eco-chain companies can freely set prices, but in principle, they should still be consistent with Xiaomi’s values of "low profit margin", at least there should be obvious differences in profit margin with products of the same quality in the same industry.

  With this "right", these companies almost unanimously chose to set up their own brands with high-end positioning and higher profit margins outside Xiaomi platform. The manager of Yunmi Guangzhou Zhengjia Plaza Store told CBN Weekly that Yunmi developed a water purifier with a price of 4,999 yuan in addition to the 1,999 yuan water purifier customized by Xiaomi. The two products use similar water purification technology, but different materials are used in the fuselage consumables and carbon core and other water purification consumables-in fact, this is a return to the traditional mode of marketing-driven and relying on layer-by-layer agents to enhance market share.

  "We feel that (ecological chain) must be good for Xiaomi, and whether it is good for Xiaomi Ecological Chain Company depends on their own nature." Hans tung said. Ggv capital finally invested in four Xiaomi Eco-chain companies, including Pure Rice, Smart Rice, Purple Rice and Jiayi Lianchuang, which make rice cookers, humidifiers, mobile power supplies and headphones respectively. Of these four companies, only Zimi has extended its business from mobile power supply to "battery expert", and other companies have not jumped out of the "single product victory" stage.

  The supply chain built by Xiaomi from the beginning of investment to the shelf of products is bigger and more difficult to manage effectively than it originally imagined, but it is a step that Xiaomi has to take.

  Eco-chain companies provide diversified hardware, which is just connected with Xiaomi’s "offline store" strategy. Their common goal is to help Xiaomi continue to expand the number of users. If these products have the attribute of "artificial intelligence", they will eventually be in the Internet service level. Let Xiaomi and Eco-chain companies get more room to realize.

  # Self-help and the future #

  After the large-scale expansion of offline channels and investment in eco-chain companies, Xiaomi’s mobile phone sales, total revenue and user base all rebounded or improved in 2017.

  Xiaomi’s financial report in the third quarter of this year showed that the monthly active users of MIUI system exceeded 224 million. Through the sales of eco-chain products, Xiaomi has won more new customers of non-Xiaomi mobile phone users. According to the latest data in the third quarterly report, there are about 132 million devices (excluding mobile phones and laptops) connected to Xiaomi IoT platform, and the monthly active users of AI intelligent voice assistant "Little Love Classmate" as the center of a new generation of IoT are more than 34 million. In addition to users of Xiaomi mobile phones, a large proportion of these people are iOS users.

  In terms of real value, these new users are more users who contribute "activated devices" to Xiaomi. In the future, these activated devices may be able to string together more complete behavior data of users. But the time it takes is unpredictable. "Due to multi-category, multi-modality and even cross-industry reasons, the IoT side needs mobile phone companies to have strong resource integration, standard collaboration, investment layout and long-term investment capabilities while increasing the market share of mobile phones, in order to achieve market position in the IoT field." Gao Bin, director of communication and technology research at Nielsen, said.

  Even if the profit of Internet service level is still a relatively distant dream, Xiaomi has now exchanged income from the "new retail" section of his business model by providing sales platform services for these eco-chain enterprises. An operator of Mijia App revealed to CBN Weekly that half of the gross profit of the eco-chain products sold by Xiaomi’s own channels belongs to Xiaomi. "Sometimes, for high projects, Xiaomi can still make 60% of the gross profit.". Xiaomi is still an absolutely strong Party A in this cooperation.

  It seems that the company is getting back on track. But Zhang Yong’s confidence in the company didn’t come back. "My boss continues to tell me how many hundred million yuan the revenue task of the whole project team is, and how much my group should share … In short, we are talking about numbers." Zhang Yong said, the title is OKR.

  Lei Jun is actually well aware of the problems facing the company. After completing the listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on July 9, Lei Jun began to carry out management changes to the company, with the purpose of operating Xiaomi’s various Internet businesses more finely and ensuring a balance between commercialization and user experience.

  First, on July 23rd, Xiaomi appointed Yan Kesheng, former vice president of the mobile phone department, as the vice president of the group and concurrently served as the chairman of the quality committee of the group. Yan Kesheng is Xiaomi’s No.53 employee. He is internally evaluated as "very straightforward" and previously worked in Motorola’s mobile phone research and development department. The new appointment will expand Yan Kesheng’s authority from the quality management of hardware such as mobile phones to the user experience at the Internet service level. This role is said to be "and while one man guards it", whose duty is to try to reduce the erosion and harm of Xiaomi’s commercialization to the user experience.

  Then, on September 22nd, Xiaomi announced "the biggest organizational structure change since the establishment of the company": the organization department and the staff department of the group were newly established, and the original MIUI department and the mutual entertainment department were split into four Internet business departments, focusing on MIUI experience, application stores, information, videos, etc. MIUI Experience Department no longer undertakes the responsibility of realizing the Internet, but is only responsible for "doing things right". Applications stores, information, videos and other businesses involving the realization of the Internet directly report to Lei Jun..

  Before leaving his job, Zhang Yong knew that Xiaomi had to make greater structural adjustments to MIUI. The preliminary brewing of this adjustment began even in the first half of this year. He agrees that this round of reform is Xiaomi’s hope, at least the general direction is right. "In the past, the internal roots were intertwined, but now it has finally loosened, and the business line will become clearer." But in the end he chose to leave. "Some problems can’t be solved by changes at the architectural level." Zhang Yong said.

  Chen Yanning, who only joined Xiaomi in 2017, also expressed the confusion of the so-called participants like Zhang Yong. "The mobile phone itself is not profitable, and the sales (retail channels) are not very high, then MIUI becomes a profit center." He told China Business News.

  Both Chen Yanyu and Zhang Yong think that if we give them a better environment for product research and development, so that they can bear less pressure of commercialization, focus more on making the product itself better, develop products with more long-term value, and even make more explosive applications that are welcomed by users all over the network, Xiaomi’s imagination of "realizing the Internet" could have been larger.

  In addition to MIUI system, Xiaomi has also developed many applications, such as reading software, instant messaging software Mi Chat, information software Xiaomi Info, and Xiaomi calculator, games, etc. Among them, Mi Chat was born earlier than WeChat, but among these applications, only Xiaomi calculator can be regarded as a cross-platform product. "First of all, you have to cross the defense between mobile phone manufacturers. Secondly, for example, to do information applications, you have to do it with the volume of today’s headlines. This Internet model can be successful." Chen Yanning said that the Internet application market is no less competitive than the mobile phone market.

  Among the 200 million users of Xiaomi, nearly 70% hold Redmi series mobile phones with a unit price below 2,000 yuan, and most of them are men. They may be active payers of mobile games, but these users have limited willingness to pay for more potential content such as e-commerce, reading, film and television. Half a month ago, Xiaomi won the brand authorization of Meitu’s mobile phone business, also to increase some female users.

  Xiaomi’s employees are envious of Apple’s healthier and more comfortable model. Under the premise of high gross profit of the hardware itself, in the environment of iOS, which naturally has a better payment order, the software layer can perform the mission of "continuously improving the user experience" with more peace of mind.

  But Lei Jun never regarded Apple as Xiaomi’s benchmarking company. He is very diligent and thinks he has the ability to make a model according to his own understanding of the market.

  Until he left Xiaomi, Zhang Yong said that he still agreed with Lei Jun’s ideas, and he didn’t feel that Lei Jun was insincere every time he talked about his ideals. In his view, the management problem exposed by Xiaomi at this stage is actually that the people above have a good idea. When it reaches the middle layer, there will always be some benefits delivery or personnel problems, which will lead to the final deformation in execution.

  "This situation has become very serious since the listing of Xiaomi was put on the agenda. There are more and more internal things that can’t be said directly, you know and I know, but it just can’t be said directly. I don’t know why, it’s strange, for example, when something is not done well, you can’t say it directly. "

Recommended two-wheel drive Xingyao Edition 2024 Star Way Lingyun Car Purchase Guide

Not long ago, the 2024 Starway Lingyun was officially launched. The new car was built based on M3X Mars architecture Pro, which not only updated the latest family-style interior design, but also fully upgraded the configuration. Nowadays, the domestic SUV market has long been a red sea. In order to gain a foothold in such a harsh environment, in addition to the strong competitiveness of the products themselves, the pricing link is also a top priority. For example, today’s protagonist, Star Road Lingyun, although it is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, its price has even dropped to the price range of traditional compact SUVs, and joint venture brands and independent brands have followed suit, which is quite a "dimension reduction blow".

The above manufacturer’s guide price only represents the price on August 1, 2023. If there is any change, please take official website as the standard.

The 2024 Star Way Lingyun has launched four models with a price range of 139,900-177,900 yuan. At the same time, the government also announced seven user rights and interests, including big order gift, replacement gift, financial gift, maintenance gift, quality assurance gift, flow gift and rescue gift (please consult your local dealer for details).

First, a brief description of the model

In terms of appearance, the new Star Way Lingyun continues the classic family design language, and the whole vehicle is elegant and dynamic, which is highly recognizable. The front face of the new car has been slightly adjusted, mainly by adding chrome-plated decorative strips at the front grille, with large-size middle net and vertical lights on both sides, and the visual effect is simple and atmospheric. The side lines and waist lines of the car are intertwined, and the second half diverges and rises, which outlines a strong sense of strength. There is a small spoiler at the top of the rear of the car, and the through taillight group further stretches the visual width.

In terms of rims, according to different configurations, the new Star Road Lingyun offers three sizes of 18, 19 and 20 inches. Among them, two 400T models are equipped with 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels, which match the horse brand tires, and both the face value and performance are quite excellent.

The new Star Way Lingyun offers 6 body colors to choose from, and Star Mang Qing replaces the original Kyauk Moon Grey. As the main color matching, Xingmangqing has excellent visual effect, simple personality and great recognition, which is highly recommended. Of course, for a medium-sized SUV, the traditional black/white color matching is also a good choice that is not easy to make mistakes.

In the interior part, the Lingyun cockpit has been fully optimized, keeping the overall design simple and atmospheric, and at the same time, the workmanship and materials performance are better. The new car offers two kinds of interior color matching options: light cloud white and elegant silver black. With 256 stepless color-changing atmosphere lights and streamer LED atmosphere lights, it can provide a variety of display effects. In terms of configuration, the new 24.6-inch "Galaxy Encircling" curved screen includes a liquid crystal instrument and a central control panel, and has a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, which supports the interconnection of CarPlay and Hicar mobile phones. The computing power and functional performance have reached the mainstream level of the same level.

In terms of power, the new car offers 1.6TGDI+7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and 2.0TGDI+8-speed automatic manual transmission. Among them, the 1.6TGDI engine has a maximum power of 148kW and a maximum torque of 300N·m;; 2.0TGDI engine has a maximum power of 192kW and a maximum torque of 400 N m.. In addition, the 2.0T high-end model is also equipped with a four-wheel drive system.

Second, vehicle configuration highlights and recommendations

The 2024 Star Way Lingyun Entry Edition is a 300T two-wheel drive Star Enjoy Edition with a price of 139,900 yuan. Objectively speaking, combined with the positioning and configuration performance of its medium-sized SUV, the comprehensive performance of this entry-level model is actually not bad. Regardless of comfort, safety or technical configuration, such as LED automatic headlights, leather multi-function steering wheel, 12.3-inch LCD instrument, 12.3-inch central control panel, car networking, automatic air conditioning and active braking are all standard, which can fully meet the needs of daily use. The reason why it is not recommended is mainly because there are more cost-effective configuration options.

Third, the recommended vehicle configuration difference analysis

In terms of comprehensive configuration and price, for the purchase suggestion of 2024 Star Way Lingyun, I personally recommend 300T two-wheel drive Xingyao version, with a price of 147,900 yuan. As the second-lowest model, the recommended model is only 8,000 yuan more expensive than the entry version, but the configuration has been improved in all aspects, including 19-inch wheels, adaptive low beam, front multi-layer sound insulation glass, front seat heating/ventilation, driver’s seat memory function, car air purifier and PM2.5 filter in the car. More importantly, the driver assistance system has been improved qualitatively, equipped with lane departure warning system, front/rear collision warning system, car side blind spot image, L2 assisted driving level, reversing car side warning system and so on. Regardless of comfort, sense of science and technology or safety configuration, it has ushered in a substantial upgrade. Considering the price difference of 8,000 yuan, the price/performance ratio is quite high.

The 400T two-wheel drive Star Zun Edition is 20,000 yuan more expensive than the recommended model. Although the 2.0T engine with stronger performance is replaced and the transmission system is changed to an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, the upgrade for configuration is very limited. For example, 20-inch rims, rear privacy glass, active noise reduction, steering wheel heating, etc. are mostly icing on the cake configurations, and the improvement in daily use is not obvious. To sum up, the 300T two-wheel drive Xingyao version with a price of 147,900 yuan is the most cost-effective, and consumers can give priority to it when choosing.

Poisoning case of Russian former spy sheltered by Britain: 21 people received treatment.

  British police said on the 8th that 21 people were treated in the poisoning case of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter who were sheltered by Britain, and three people, including Krippahl’s father and daughter, were still in hospital.

  On the same day, British Prime Minister David theresa may called on the public to give the police "sufficient time and space" for in-depth investigation. Faced with different opinions from the outside world, some observers warned to draw a conclusion cautiously, "it is not excluded that someone planted a frame-up and deliberately added chaos."

  Father and daughter are still in a coma

  Kiel prichard, the head of Wiltshire police in England, said on the 8th that 21 people, including several police officers, had been admitted to hospital for blood tests and treatment in the case of the poisoning of Tusk Ripart’s father and daughter. Among them, 18 people have been discharged.

  Krippahl, 66, and her 33-year-old daughter You Liya were unconscious on a street bench in Salisbury, Wiltshire on the 4th. At first, some media claimed that Krippahl was traveling with a young woman, which was later confirmed to be his daughter. Mark Rowley, head of the anti-terrorism department of the British police, confirmed on the evening of the 7 th that the father and daughter were attacked by nerve agents.

  Reuters reported that among the three people who have not been discharged from the hospital, Krippahl’s father and daughter are still in a coma on the 8 th, and their physical condition is extremely poor, but they are still stable; Nick Bailey, a policeman who went to the scene for treatment, was in poor health, but he was conscious and could speak and "sit up".

  Krippahl retired from the Russian General Intelligence Service in 1999 and was arrested in Moscow in 2004. He admitted to leaking information about Russian agents stationed in Europe to British MI 6, and was sentenced to 13 years in prison in 2006. According to a US-Russian spy exchange agreement in 2010, he was released to the United States and later settled in Britain.

  After the poisoning incident, British police and forensic departments began to search Krippahl’s home in Salisbury and the restaurants and bars that the father and daughter were believed to have set foot in on the 4th.

  The expert group sent by the British government has identified this nerve agent, but refused to disclose what substance it is and the specific means of poisoning. Sally Davis, a British public health official, reassured the public that the incident did not pose a wider security threat.

  The police stepped up their investigation.

  As of the 8th, the British police refused to publicly guess who was behind the poisoning incident. However, some people turned their suspicious eyes to Russia, causing tension in British-Russian diplomatic relations.

  British Prime Minister theresa may made a televised speech on the 8th, saying that if the Russian side was found to be behind the scenes, the British side would "respond appropriately". Earlier, British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and other officials also hinted that Russia might be involved.

  The Russian side denied that it was involved in the poisoning incident, accusing the British side of trying to politicize the matter and even publishing inferences directed at Russia without investigation, which is an anti-Russian propaganda.

  Richard guthrie, a British chemical weapons expert, told the Associated Press that it is undeniable that "there is another possibility", that is, someone deliberately made trouble in order to "plant the blame on Russia".

  According to Andrea Serra, a professor of chemistry at University College London, the neurotoxic agent is too toxic to be made at home, and "it can only be produced in a specific factory". Therefore, as long as its impurities and residues are detected, it is expected to infer important information such as production process and producer identity from clues.

  On the 8th, theresa may called on the public to "give the police enough time and space so that they can really find out the truth". Amber Rudd, the British Home Secretary, said that the British side has invested a lot of resources and police force in the investigation, hoping that the people would "avoid making wild guesses".

Palm oil and soybean oil: the spot price fell and the market fluctuated.

[The spot price fluctuates, and the market of palm oil and soybean oil varies]

The spot price of palm oil in Zhangjiagang is 7740 yuan/ton (-100), and that in Guangdong is 7720 yuan/ton (-100). The spot price of soybean oil in Zhangjiagang is 7750 yuan/ton (-90), and that in Guangzhou is 7850 yuan/ton (-40). The MPOB report has a neutral impact, palm oil continues to fluctuate widely, and the marginal improvement of supply restricts the medium and long-term upside. Indonesia raised the reference price of palm oil export, overseas demand is expected to shift to Malaysia, India will stock up in July, and the production area is limited. Soybean oil follows the fluctuation of the external market, and its operation is weak. The mixed storage of grain and oil drums has caused market demand concerns, and the US soybean supply and demand report has not been effectively guided. The narrowing of domestic soybean-palm price difference makes the substitution effect of soybean oil better, but the negative fundamentals of American soybeans drag down the price of soybean oil, which is weaker than palm oil as a whole. The recovery of palm oil production is less than expected, and the recovery of overseas palm oil demand is a risk factor.

Open a new era of Internet development in China.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 15th (Reporter Luo Yufan)After 21 years of hard work, the Internet in China has grown from scratch, from weak to strong, and created a development miracle that amazed the world. Today, China has become a world-renowned internet power, making China contributions to the development of the world’s Internet, creating China’s experience and putting forward China’s proposition.

After 21 years of exploration and progress, China Internet has always been based on its own national conditions, closely followed the pulse of the times, adhered to open development, innovative development and shared development, and paid attention to learning from the beneficial experiences and practices of Internet development in other countries and made remarkable achievements.

The ever-changing China speed in the Internet age.

"Now mankind has entered such a historical stage as the Internet era, which is a world trend, and this Internet era has greatly promoted the development of human life, production and productivity."

Coincidentally, one year later, on September 19th, 2014, Alibaba Group was officially listed on the new york Stock Exchange, and its market value exceeded $230 billion at the close of the first day of listing.

China’s Proposition of Sharing and Governing the Internet Era

The rapid development of Internet information industry has not only brought unexpected convenience to people, but also brought unprecedented challenges to social governance and national security. Only clear cyberspace can bring real network dividends to netizens.

From the beginning of the year, the special treatment of "online extortion and paid deletion of posts" to standardizing online names, rectifying marriage websites, and then promoting the standardization of interviews with Internet information service units; From "Youth Network Civilization Volunteer Action" and "Nursery 2015 Online Action" to public solicitation of opinions on network security law … a network governance system with legalization, standardization and deepening is gradually taking shape.

At the same time, Cyber Security Week was successfully held for two consecutive years, the China Internet Development Foundation was established, the 8th China-US Internet Development Forum and the 6th China-UK Internet Roundtable were successfully held … The concept of "sharing" the Internet development dividend has been deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
