From core to edge to virtual position?

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 the founding staff of 12 had a bowl of millet porridge in Yingu Building, Baofusiqiao, and Xiaomi Company was formally established.

In the group photo of the above-mentioned founding team members, there are not only co-founders such as,,, but also early-stage entrepreneurial employees such as Li and Sun Peng.

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

Li was a core technical member 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 major business divisions, such as TV Division, Eco-chain Division, MIUI Division and Mutual Entertainment Division, were reorganized into ten new business divisions, 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 divisions, one of which was responsible for the core experience of MIUI, and Li was the general manager, reporting directly to CEO Lei Jun.

However, since then, Xiaomi has made many adjustments in the structure of the Internet business unit, and Li 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. From June 5438 to 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 major integration of MIUI Internet Division in 2020, Li was transferred to the Technical Committee as the vice chairman and secretary general, and then reported to the Chairman of the Technical Committee (first Cui Baoqiu, now Ye Hangjun).

At present, Li has left Xiaomi, and the specific reason for leaving is unknown. A Xiaomi employee commented,' The vice chairman of the technical committee is a bit like a virtual post, but as a member of the founding team, he is definitely financially free.'

Li's personal Weibo actively communicated with users when he was in charge of MIUI, but stopped updating in early 2020. On the 9th anniversary of Xiaomi's founding in April, 20 19, he also published a Weibo emotion:' When I joined Xiaomi, I really didn't expect Xiaomi to overcome so many difficulties, Xiaomi would have such a great influence, and I would stick to it for so long. '

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

Among them, co-founder KK Wong (No.4 employee) left on 20 18, and co-founder Li Wanqiang (No.3 employee) left on 20 19; Among the nine founding team members, Li is the first 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's departure also coincides with the major adjustment of many 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 being merged 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, it changed. On June 5438+ 10 this year, Xiaomi Youpin's Pinyu announced that due to business adjustment, Pinyu would stop operating in March. 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 had heard the internal 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 scoring before the Spring Festival, the company informed all departments that 10% employees must have a C performance, and if both performances are C, they will be dismissed. Different from previous years, employees who have left or are about to leave can bear performance C before, 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 is facing external pressures such as geopolitics, policy supervision and industry competition, as well as 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 phone. Lei Jun put forward the goal of benchmarking Apple, ranking first in the world in three years and first in domestic high-end products in 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 of 202 1 4.1%,Xiaomi ranked third, and Apple ranked second with 17.4%. However, in the fourth quarter, Apple performed well, ranking 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%.

Among the new businesses, Xiaomi Auto was established in 202 1, and Lei Jun gave the target of mass production in 2024. Xiaomi employees revealed to Sina Technology that they thought Xiaomi would use Xiaomi's existing technology extensively, but this is 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 at present, Xiaomi's automobile business is in its infancy 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 start 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 heart of rice noodles. Although Xiaomi's career is booming, it is inevitable that there will be some problems. On February 16, 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.

It is reported that Li is the no 12 employee of Xiaomi. In the early days, he was responsible for MIUI development, 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 turning point of millet porridge". When Xiaomi Company was founded, * * * 13 people drank millet porridge with Lei Jun, ***4 co-founders and 9 founding team members, and Li was the first 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 employees 10%, and HR had already started an interview.

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