Xiaomi Group Founder, Chairman and CEO Lei Jun recently said that Xiaomi has a very big responsibility to provide a boost in the wave of Chinese companies adopting local components.
At the 2020 China Green Company Annual Conference, Lei talked about how Chinese companies should improve the competitiveness of their manufacturing supply chains against the backdrop of today's anti-globalization trend.
He said that the launch of the Redmi product line by Xiaomi in 2013 put forward the idea of preferring the domestic industry chain.
The entire mobile phone industry in China today is promoting the selection of domestic components on a large scale, and in the past period of time Xiaomi has also invested in a large number of domestic device research and development companies, Lei Jun said, adding that in this wave of Xiaomi has a great responsibility to promote the replacement of foreign devices with domestic ones.
He also mentioned that after three years of hard work, the Xiaomi Smart Factory has been completed and put into production, which is a factory that produces ultra-high-end mobile phones and is fully automated except for loading and unloading.
This is still a very difficult task for high-end smartphones, with only 100 people in the factory, most of them engineers, he said.
Lei said the second phase of the smart factory hopes to achieve a production line of 10 million ultra-high-end smartphones, all of which are unmanned.
He added that the real pride for now is that all the equipment used in the production line, except for the edge-mounted machine, is either developed by Xiaomi itself or by companies invested by Xiaomi.
