小米 一个字头的诞生

The rise of Xiaomi

2014年的企业家江湖。可谓“为人不识雷布斯，便称英雄也枉然”。万科总裁郁亮率领100人团队去小米学习，房地产大佬潘石屹年底也曾登门拜访。“如果所有时间都用于接待，老雷大概一天需要28个小时。”雷的一个同事说。

Xiaomi is no longer just about mobile phones. Xiaomi's smart bands, smart cameras, smart blood pressure machines,smart outlets and a number of other smart devices have already become a inseparable part of consumers daily lives.And this is just the beginning. In 2014,Xiaomi invested in 25 companies that produce hardware for smart devices. Over the next three to five years, this number most likely will grow to reach 100.The Xiaomi smart phone became a success almost overnight. By combining hardware with its own MI user interface,add in the resulting cloud data and its own streaming services and Xiaomi will soon have its very own 'walled garden' just like Apple.For years, experts have been predicting that Xiaomi was set to become the next big technology giant in China after Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu. Looking at the company today, it seems that prediction is not that far off from coming true.
