At the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra conference last week, Lei Jun specially changed into a leather jacket and looked very handsome. This incident triggered many discussions among netizens. Many people directly linked it to Huang Renxun, and even ridiculed Lei Jun for plagiarizing Huang Renxun.Lei Jun also talked about this in a live broadcast recently, saying that "a leather jacket may be easier to match the ultimate driving style of Ultra."
Lei Jun said: "Why did I choose a leather jacket? I thought a leather jacket might be easier to match the extreme driving style of Ultra. So we thought of a leather jacket, and then my colleagues picked three or four pieces, and I picked one (from them). I didn't expect that this leather jacket would be liked by so many people, and it would even be a hot search."
Regarding the remarks of "copying Huang Renxun", Lei Jun said that he was worried when he announced it, "If I wear a leather jacket, many people will say that you copied that NVIDIA boss Huang Renxun."
But he emphasized: "It seems that before I met Huang Renxun, everyone had two or three leather jackets at home. Am I copying Huang Renxun when I wear a leather jacket? When I wear a suit, am I copying Musk? This is too funny."
It is reported that in the past, Lei Jun once wore a suit and was said to be plagiarizing Musk by netizens, while wearing a T-shirt and jeans during a mobile phone launch event was also said to be plagiarizing Steve Jobs.
Lei Jun had previously replied to this: "What I wear is actually what engineers usually wear, Vancl's T-shirt, Vancl's jeans, Vancl's canvas shoes."
This response also made Fanke popular again, and its official store was once sold out.
