8. Lei Jun: Some thoughts about me before and after founding Xiaomi
According to December 16, Lei Jun recently posted his internal sharing in Lenovo Holdings on his official account, including some of his thoughts on founding Xiaomi. He said that when he was working in Xiaomi, he really learned about these companies: Tongrentang, Haidilao, Walmart and Costco. Xiaomi has been practicing these thoughts in its 10-year journey: First, make products like Tongrentang, genuine and faithful. "Everything is a good thing I have used. If it is not done well, please forgive me, because we have only worked for three years (calculated from the release of the first generation of mobile phones in 2011), and it will take time." The second point is to learn user services from Haidilao and provide a reputation that exceeds expectations. The third point is to learn operational efficiency from companies like Walmart and Costco. Lei Jun said that Xiaomi is an e-commerce company, an industrial company, and it involves industry, or efficiency wins. Xiaomi mainly uses model optimization - compress the intermediate links in the commercial circulation field as much as possible, do less work, and use the smartest people to simplify the process. Xiaomi has used a lot of model innovation to improve efficiency. Only in this way can the cost be greatly reduced. In the consumer electronics industry, from manufacturing cost to retail cost, the fixed rate is basically two to three times. In addition to the profits of channels and retail stores, the price of customers buying things is two to three times the manufacturing cost. (Titanium Media)
