On August 16, according to the Automotive Business Review, Xiaomi Automobile headquarters and its first factory have basically been settled in Beijing, and this time the headquarters and factory will be located in the city, which is an important node in the preparatory work for Xiaomi's car construction. Xiaomi has not made an official response to the news.
In fact, Xiaomi Group already has a deep foundation in Beijing. Its headquarter is located in Xiaomi Science and Technology Park, Haidian District, Beijing. The park covers an area of 220000 square meters with an investment of about 2 billion yuan. In addition, Beijing Yizhuang also has Xiaomi intelligent factory. In July, Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi Group, posted recruitment messages for jobs related to self-driving on social platforms, all based in Haidian District, Beijing.
In the automotive field, there are already complete vehicle manufacturing enterprises in Beijing, such as Mercedes-Benz, BAIC, Beijing Hyundai, etc., and ideal Automobile has also disclosed a few days ago that it will build a factory in Beijing to build electric vehicles. In addition, leading enterprises such as Baidu Apollo and Xiaoma Zhixing are also mainly located in Beijing. After Xiaomi Guan announced the construction of the car, it has been concerned whether its car headquarters is located in Beijing.
Not only in Beijing, the location of Xiaomi Automobile headquarters has also been rumored to be located in Shanghai, Wuhan and other cities. Since Xiaomi announced the production of the car, the voice of Xiaomi to settle in Wuhan has been louder. A few days ago, the Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Commerce responded through the "Wuhan City message Board" that the investment promotion department of Wuhan had communicated with Xiaomi. At present, it is actively docking and promoting the Xiaomi automobile project to be settled in Wuhan with the company.
Prior to this, the Wuhan Economic Development Zone also responded positively to netizens, saying that the Economic Development Zone had immediately set up a special work class, which would actively and enthusiastically dock Xiaomi, fully demonstrate the high-quality automobile ecosystem and superior business environment in the region, and strive for the possibility of cooperation.
Before Wuhan actively docked Xiaomi, Shanghai was also one of the cities where Xiaomi deployed its car-building team. Among the 54 recruitment messages released by Xiaomi Automobile on July 22nd, including vehicle safety simulation analysis engineer, NVH simulation analysis engineer, vehicle general layout expert and other job descriptions related to vehicle engineering, Xuhui District, Shanghai, has been added to the recruitment information of Xiaomi Motor Co., Ltd. in the 54 recruitment messages released by Xiaomi Automobile on July 22nd, including vehicle safety simulation analysis engineer, vehicle simulation analysis engineer and vehicle general layout expert. This indicates that the development related to Xiaomi vehicle project may be located in Shanghai. The deployment of resources in the upstream and downstream of Shanghai's automobile industry has been relatively complete, which also increases the possibility of Xiaomi car settling in Shanghai.
However, the news of settling in Shanghai, Wuhan and Beijing was all refuted by Wang Hua of the Public Relations Department of Xiaomi Group on July 23, which said on the social platform, "recently, some of the information about our car has become more and more outrageous." a moment landed in Beijing, a moment landed in Shanghai, but also deliberately stressed that Wuhan did not introduce successfully. In addition to landing, I am also jealous of the topic of recruitment, salary and options, and there are rumors that there are always independent options, and even rumors that the total salary package is up to 20 million yuan. Originally thought that there is no need to refute the rumor, everyone should have a clear understanding, did not expect that there are friends to come to me to push 20 million of the position. Together with the response, all of the above are not true, everything is subject to the official disclosure of information, we turn to tell not to be credulous. "
A few days ago, Lei Jun also responded to netizens who are concerned about the automobile project on the Internet, saying that the automobile project is in full swing and is still at a very early stage. We will report back to you when we have made significant progress.
