From core to edge to virtual location?

The story of starting a business and drinking millet porridge has always been talked about by Lei Jun. ..

On April 6th, 20 10, Lei Jun and 12 founding employees had a bowl of millet porridge together in Yingu Building, Baofusiqiao, and Xiaomi Company was formally established.

In the photo of the above-mentioned founding team members, there are not only co-founders such as Lin Bin, Li Wanqiang and KK Wong, but also early entrepreneurs such as Li Weixing and Sun Peng.

After graduating from Sun Yat-sen University, Li Weixing worked in Microsoft for several years, engaged in the research and development of Windows Phone software. Joining Xiaomi was also introduced by Microsoft President Lin Bin. After meeting and chatting with Lei Jun, he decided to start a business with Lei Jun, and his salary was reduced.

Li Weixing was the core technician of Xiaomi's early MIUI system development, and was later promoted to vice president of MIUI. Its relatively formal move to the foreground was in the first structural adjustment after Xiaomi's listing.

2065438+September 2008, Lei Jun announced the organizational structure adjustment and personnel appointment of Xiaomi in an internal mail. This is the first major adjustment after Xiaomi went public, and it is also the biggest organizational structure change since Xiaomi was founded.

This structural adjustment involves a number of co-founders and middle and senior managers. On the one hand, a new General Staff and Organization Department will be established to further enhance the management functions of the headquarters; On the other hand, four business departments, such as TV Department, Eco-chain Department, MIUI Department and Mutual Entertainment Department, were reorganized into ten new business departments, and a large number of young post-80s executives came to the front desk.

Li is one of the young executives promoted. At that time, Xiaomi established four Internet business departments, one of which was responsible for the core experience of MIUI, and Li Weixing was the general manager, reporting directly to CEO Lei Jun.

However, since then, Xiaomi has made several adjustments to the structure of the Internet business department, and Li Weixing has gradually faded out of the core management of MIUI.

2065438+In February 2009, Li was appointed as the general manager of Internet 4, mainly responsible for the TV version of MIUI. The general manager of the Internet department is Jin Fan, both of whom report to the CEO. On June 5438+February, 2020, Xiaomi integrated several independent Internet business departments, and newly established three first-level departments: Software and Experience Department, Internet Business Department and Business Center Department, with Jin Fan, Kei Ma and Qiu Ruiheng as general managers respectively, reporting directly to CEO Lei Jun; In the structural adjustment of 202 1 and 1 1, the software and experience department and system software department of the mobile phone department were merged into the software department of the mobile phone department, and the Internet of Things platform department was merged into the software department of the mobile phone department, and Jin Fan served as the general manager of the software department of the mobile phone department.

However, after the integration of MIUI Internet Business Department in 2020, Li Weixing was transferred to the Technical Committee as the vice chairman and secretary general of the Technical Committee, and turned to the chairman of the Technical Committee (first Cui Baoqiu, now Ye Hangjun) to report his work.

At present, Li Weixing has left Xiaomi, and the specific reason for leaving is unknown. A Xiaomi employee commented that the vice chairman of the Technical Committee is a bit like a virtual position, but as a member of the founding team, he is definitely financially free.

When Li was in charge of MIUI system, his personal Weibo was very active, but it stopped updating in early 2020. On the occasion of the ninth anniversary of Xiaomi's founding in April, 20 19, he also published a feeling of Weibo: When I joined Xiaomi, I really didn't expect Xiaomi to overcome so many difficulties, that Xiaomi would have such a huge impact, and that I would persist for so long. '

It is worth noting that with Xiaomi's listing and entering a new stage of development, the number of founding team members who had previously drunk millet porridge with Lei Jun is decreasing. Among the 13 people who drank millet gruel at that time, besides Lei Jun, He He, there were nine founding team members, including Li, Sun Peng, Liu Xinyu, Li Ming, Qu Heng, Qin and Guan Ying Zhi.

Among them, co-founder KK Wong (the fourth employee) left on 20 18, and co-founder Li Wanqiang (the third employee) left on 20 19; Among the nine founding team members, Li Weixing is the first person to leave Xiaomi, and the other eight are still working in various positions in Xiaomi.

10% employees are forced to play c?

In fact, Li Weixing's departure also coincides with the major adjustment of several business departments of Xiaomi.

20211,Xiaomi announced that its independent e-commerce platform Xiaomi Youpin will be integrated with Xiaomi's retail business in China. Xiaomi said that after the merger into China District, Xiaomi Youpin and Xiaomi Mall will continue to serve different consumer groups respectively, and their business forms and audiences have not changed.

But after the merger, the situation has changed. On June 5438+ 10 this year, Pinyou, a subsidiary of Xiaomi Youpin, announced that Pinyou would stop operating in March due to business adjustment. In addition to Xiaomi Youpin and Xiaomi Mall, several business departments of Xiaomi were integrated at the end of 20021.

An internal employee of Xiaomi told Sina Technology that he heard the inside news of layoffs at the end of 20021. After the integration, the overlapping of some functional personnel and the adjustment of business direction are inevitable. '

According to Sina Technology, Xiaomi's performance is divided into four grades: S, A, B and C. The employee revealed that in the performance score before the Spring Festival, the company informed all departments that 65,438+00% of employees must have a C performance, and if the performance is C twice, they will be fired. Different from previous years, employees who have left or are about to leave can bear performance C, but this time it is no longer allowed.

In addition to the reasons for internal integration, another Xiaomi employee believes that in the current Internet environment, even if Xiaomi really lays off employees, it is easy to understand. At an internal meeting before the Spring Festival, some senior officials predicted that 2022 would be "preparing for the winter". The executive said that Xiaomi faces external pressures such as geopolitics, policy supervision and industry competition, and also faces uncertainties in the development of its main business and new business.

The so-called main business is Xiaomi's mobile phone business. At present, Xiaomi is vigorously promoting the high-end of its mobile phones. Lei Jun put forward the goal of benchmarking Apple, ranking first in the world for three years and ranking first in domestic high-end products for three years. However, the above employees believe that there is still a big gap between Xiaomi and Apple in the high-end market.

According to IDC data, in the global smartphone market in 20021year, Xiaomi ranked third with a market share of 14. 1%, and Apple ranked second with a market share of 17.4%. However, in the fourth quarter, Apple performed well and ranked first in market share. From the domestic situation, in the fourth quarter of 20021,Apple ranked first and Xiaomi ranked fifth with a market share of 20.6%.

In the new business, mainly the Xiaomi automobile business established in 20021,Lei Jun gave the target of mass production in 2024. Xiaomi employees revealed to Sina Technology that they thought that Xiaomi Automobile would make extensive use of Xiaomi's existing technology, but this was not the case. For example, the car's intelligent voice system, Xiaomi has his own little love classmates, and the car department is also developing its own products. Engage in internal competition, whoever does well will be used. '

It is worth noting that the current Xiaomi automobile business is in the initial stage and investment period, and it is directly wholly owned by Xiaomi, which will undoubtedly put pressure on Xiaomi's financial data. Employees speculate that Xiaomi's automobile business will develop independently in the future due to factors such as product development and financial data.

One of the founding employees left, and once had porridge with Lei Jun to establish Xiaomi 3 Xiaomi Company, which was established on April 6, 20 10. In a short period of 12 years, its digital products have been very popular in China and even around the world, becoming the "hottest Internet enterprise" in the hearts of rice noodles. Although Xiaomi's career is booming, there will inevitably be some problems. On February 65438, 2006, it was learned that Li, a member of Xiaomi's founding team and former vice chairman and secretary general of Xiaomi Technical Committee, left his post.

According to reports, Li is Xiaomi'sNo. 12 employee. He was in charge of MIUI development in the early days, and later transferred to the technical committee. When Xiaomi Company was founded, he and Lei Jun ate millet porridge together, which was also considered as "the change of millet porridge". When Xiaomi Company was founded, a total of 13 people drank Xiaomi porridge with Lei Jun, including 4 co-founders and 9 founding team members. Li was the first person to leave the founding team.

Before Li left the industry, Xiaomi was caught in a wave of layoffs. Not long ago, there were rumors that Xiaomi planned to lay off 65,438+00% employees, and HR had already started an interview.

In this regard, Xiaomi responded to the media that Xiaomi has not laid off employees so far. At present, more than 4,000 popular positions in Xiaomi are still recruiting talents.
