Lei Jun announced on Weibo today that the delivery volume of Xiaomi SU7 will exceed 28,000 units by May 2025. We are fully preparing for the mass production of Xiaomi YU7, which is expected to begin in July.
In addition, Lei Jun also mentioned that he just learned a famous quote from Mo Yan: "Slander, in itself, is a form of admiration."
Last night (May 31), Xiaomi Group partner and president Lu Weibing quoted this quote from Mo Yan in a Weibo post: "Slander, in itself, is a form of admiration."
Lu Weibing stated, "Whether it's the explosive sales of SU7 or the higher attention and expectations for YU7 compared to SU7, it is all based on strong product power. With the determination of 'investing ten times to make a good car,' we have won the selection of millions of netizens!" This Weibo post was accompanied by a video of the bustling scene at the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Auto Show featuring Xiaomi cars.
Regarding the success of Xiaomi cars, Lu Weibing summarized it as the success of Xiaomi's values, Xiaomi's model, and Xiaomi's methodology.
Lu Weibing's above Weibo post is speculated to be a response to Richard Yu's remarks from a distance.
On the afternoon of May 31, Huawei Executive Director and Terminal BG Chairman Richard Yu stated at the Future Automotive Pioneers Conference that current automotive companies not only need manufacturing, sales, and service capabilities but also need strong abilities in user experience, product definition, product analysis, market positioning definition, and design capabilities.
"You can see that companies from other industries that only make one car have sold explosively. Although their products may not be that good, they sell very well," Richard Yu implied, "Regardless of their quality, even their intelligent driving capabilities are…."
Richard Yu said that it is precisely because this company has strong brand power and traffic capability that one product can achieve explosive sales.
"The products we make are even better than theirs, with good quality, good experience, good performance, and good in all aspects, yet you still can't sell more than them, not even a fraction of their sales," Richard Yu said.
