Walk into the benchmark, learn from the benchmark, and surpass the benchmark

"Born for fever": a business legend of efficiency revolution and ecological rise
Xiaomi is a model of the deep integration of China's mobile Internet and intelligent manufacturing. It was born in the wave of the era of the outbreak of smartphones, subverting the traditional hardware industry with "Internet thinking", and quickly becoming an important force in the Chinese and even global markets through the ultimate cost performance, fan culture and online direct sales model. In 2018, Xiaomi was successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, creating one of the world's largest technology stock IPOs that year. In just over a decade, Xiaomi has grown from a MIUI operating system and a Xiaomi mobile phone to a global enterprise with products covering more than 100 countries and markets around the world, with annual revenue exceeding hundreds of billions of yuan, interpreting the speed and breadth of "Chinese innovation" with actions.

"Mobile ×AIoT": A dual-engine-driven ecological blueprint
Xiaomi's core strategy is to evolve from a single smartphone company to an intelligent ecosystem of the Internet of Everything. The company's "mobile ×AIoT" strategy aims to use smartphones as the core connector to strongly expand and empower the AIoT ecological chain. Through self-research and ecological chain investment "two-wheel drive", Xiaomi has invested in and incubated more than hundreds of ecological chain enterprises, creating one of the world's largest consumer-grade intelligent Internet of Things platforms. From bracelets and power banks to sweeping robots and air purifiers, Xiaomi ecological chain products are popular all over the world for their well-designed, smooth experience and high cost performance. This ecological approach not only builds a huge product matrix and user base, but also forms a strong brand moat and data network effect.

"From China to the World": A global replication of the new retail model
Xiaomi's success is not only in its products, but also in its creation and verification of an efficient new retail system that integrates online and offline. Its mature operation in the Chinese mainland market "Xiaomi Home" integrates product experience, sales and service, and its flat efficiency ranks among the top in the global retail industry. This model is being quickly replicated in the international market, from India to Europe, and Xiaomi's retail network is becoming the core position of its brand localization and in-depth reach of users. Xiaomi's globalization path provides a complete model for technology companies seeking overseas expansion, from product going overseas, brand building to channel cultivation.
