Lei Jun: I grew up in a rural area. How could I not let farmers sell millet?

Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, talked about the news some time ago that "Xiaomi does not let farmers sell millet" in a live broadcast. Xu Jieyun, general manager of the public relations department of Xiaomi Group, said that it was completely a misunderstanding caused by being misled and distorted. Xiaomi company and Xiaomi as food are completely unrelated things. In fact, everyone knows that this is impossible and we will never have such a heavy blow. Of course, it is even more impossible to have the ability to prevent farmers from selling millet.

Lei Jun said,I believe everyone has sharp eyes, because I grew up in a rural area. How could I not let farmers sell millet? When such hot searches appear, it really makes me very angry.

Previously, a Xiaomi spokesperson issued a clarification in response to the so-called "Xiaomi Company does not allow the sale of Xiaomi."Xiaomi said that the content of the relevant video was completely untrue and was a complete distortion and slander.

Our company's complaint against some content of the relevant account is aimed at malicious imitation, fabricated slander, and infringement of the reputation of our company and our executives. It is not against the normal use of the word "Xiaomi" or "Xiaomi" agricultural products. To misinterpret the complaint as "not allowed to use the word Xiaomi" is to secretly change the concept, use the issue of "helping farmers" as an excuse to slander and spread rumors, and gain traffic.

For a long time, Xiaomi has been actively supporting and assisting farmers, helping rural revitalization through various methods and fulfilling social responsibilities. At present, Xiaomi has made donations to support the development of rural schools and farms in Guizhou, Yunnan, Hunan, Hebei, Xinjiang and other places. Taking the "Xiaomi Library" as an example, since 2019, the Xiaomi Charity Foundation has donated and established 7 Xiaomi libraries in Xinjiang, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, and continues to donate funds to support the revitalization of rural culture and education.

It is the legitimate right of every person and every institution to use legal weapons to resolutely safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. Thank you for your attention and support for Xiaomi. We also call on everyone to resolutely say no to false online information, say no to behaviors that deliberately incite online public opinion, and jointly create a clean and upright online public opinion space.
