Following Huawei, Honor, OPPO, and Transsion's establishment in Shenzhen, Xiaomi, which has been a floating presence in the city for eight years, finally has a permanent home in Shenzhen.

Early this morning, General Manager Lu officially announced the opening of Xiaomi's Shenzhen headquarters, where he shared millet porridge with Wang Teng and other executives at the grand ceremony.

Geographically, Xiaomi's Shenzhen headquarters is nestled in the Houhai Financial Business District, close to Shenzhen Bay. It is merely a stone's throw away from MixC Mall and Talent Park, and OPPO is also a nearby neighbor, with just a ten-minute drive separating the two companies.

The entire building boasts a distinctive facade, with one of the designers, Schubert, stating that the inspiration was drawn from a Rubik's Cube.

The Rubik's Cube-inspired building comprises a total of 14 floors. The B1 floor houses Xiaomi's canteen, while the first and second floors feature Xiaomi Home, spanning nearly 1,000 square meters. The third to fifth floors include meeting rooms, a mobile phone laboratory, and a rooftop garden, respectively.

To prevent information leakage from the mobile phone laboratory on the fourth floor, Xiaomi installed a four-story-high, 360-degree LED screen on the facade. The administrative office area spans from the sixth to thirteenth floors, with the top floor reserved for the computer room.

It's noteworthy that, despite the presence of Lu Weibing, Wang Teng, and Wang Hua, the general manager of Xiaomi's Public Relations Department, Lei Jun, the most anticipated figure among Mi fans, was notably absent from the opening ceremony.

Amidst curiosity about Lei Jun's whereabouts, a helpful netizen uncovered that he met with Wang Chuanfu last night. The two engaged in a cordial conversation at the Xiaomi Automobile Factory, and it appeared that Shunwei Capital's investment partner, Hu Zhengnan, was also in attendance.

What do you envision as the next significant move for these two automotive giants?
