Lei Jun clarified the remark that ＂friends and businessmen are XX＂ and stressed that it was misunderstood by the public.

ZAKER Technology reported on October 9 that this afternoon, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Group, issued a document in Weibo to clarify the statement that "friends are XX" circulating on the Internet.

It is reported that the expression "Friends are XX" first came from the press conference in 2015. At that time, Lei Jun said at the press conference: "The mobile phone industry has become an entertainment industry, which is manifested by endless press conferences, and all the press conferences have a common theme, that is, the glittering five words: friends are XX, among which Xiaomi is XX first. Whether it is discussed or ridiculed by everyone, in any case, through the joint efforts of friends and businessmen all over China, domestic mobile phones have become the mainstream of the market! " However, this statement has been taken out of context by many people for many years.

Wang Hua, general manager of Xiaomi’s public relations department, also issued a document saying that many people really misremembered or didn’t know the whole situation at that time, so that they were misled by the five words taken out of context in the current network. Wang Hua hopes that everyone can help spread it and let more people know the true and complete situation.

Lei Jun himself forwarded Wang Hua’s Weibo, and once again stressed that these five words came from the 2015 conference and were misunderstood by many people. As soon as this remark came out, netizens expressed their views in the comment area. Some netizens said that understanding Lei Jun’s remarks at that time was a kind of self-mockery, while others thought that it was really easy to be taken out of context. (Intern/Ma Junjie)
