Xiaomi's founder, Lei Jun, has been the keynote speaker at Xiaomi's digital flagship series launch conference, and his speech style and passionate introduction to the product have left a deep impression on consumers. However, Lei Jun recently announced that he will devote more energy to Xiaomi's car business, which means that he may no longer host future Xiaomi phone launches. This news is undoubtedly a surprise for rice fans, after all, Lei Jun's speech has become a highlight of Xiaomi's mobile phone press conference.
Lei Jun's "** person" Lu Weibing will succeed him as the keynote speaker of the Xiaomi mobile phone press conference. Lu Weibing has made the leap from the spokesperson of the Redmi brand to the president of Xiaomi, and then to the person in charge of Xiaomi's mobile phone in his career at Xiaomi. In order to ensure the smooth progress of Redmi's business, Wang Teng, the former general manager of Redmi Marketing, will take over as the general manager of the Redmi brand. Although rice fans regret Lei Jun's absence, Lu Weibing's background and abilities make people look forward to him. He not only has an educational background from Tsinghua University, but also has the experience of serving as the president of Gionee, which makes him have a good reputation in the industry.
Lei Jun attaches great importance to Xiaomi's automotive business, which is related to the development of Xiaomi Group in the next ten years. Xiaomi has invested 100 billion yuan in the automotive business, which shows that Lei Jun regards it as the last venture of his life. Although Lei Jun devotes most of his time to the automotive business, he still promises to spend at least a quarter of his time on mobile phone development. The addition of Lu Weibing and the transfer of Lei Jun's energy will undoubtedly bring new vitality and development direction to Xiaomi.
For rice fans, the Xiaomi mobile phone launch conference without Lei Jun may be different, but the addition of Lu Weibing also heralds a new beginning. Rice fans' expectations for Lu Weibing and confidence in Xiaomi's future will determine whether they continue to follow Xiaomi's every press conference. The imminent release of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Lei Jun's investment in the automotive business have made people curious and looking forward to the future of Xiaomi.
