Xiaomi‘s CEO Lei Jun is known for his hard work and passion to see the company grow. This hard work has contributed in no small measure to the growth of the company and Lei isn’t letting off some steam anytime soon. He has continued to engage the company’s teeming fans in China on a regular basis. One of Lei Jun’s recent Weibo post is eliciting some admiration presently.
The Xiaomi CEO had assured fans in the Weibo post yesterday that if the Mi 9 stock fell short of 1 million units in its first month, he will personally head to the factory to handle the screwdriver in other to speed up the assembly process. This may sound like a joke but Xiaomi’s product manager Wang Teng Thomas affirmed that Lei Jun meant every word. Thomas even shared a picture of Lei Jun actually handling a screwdriver inside the company’s assembly plant. Now, the picture of Lei he shared wasn’t captured from the Mi 9 assembly line but was a throwback photo of Lei Jun actually helping out in the assembly line of the first Mi Router released in 2013.

The Xiaomi Mi 9 first flash sale is expected to commence at 10 AM on March 5. On that same day, Xiaomi will also open pre-sale on Mi Home with the device expected to ship within seven working days. One important thing we can grasp from Lei Jun’s boastful statement is that the company has got quite enough stock ahead of the sales. Xiaomi recently expanded the Mi 9 production plant to include BYD in addition to Foxconn’s foundry. That may have boosted the stock and indeed, we expect the sales in the global market to get rolling soon.
