It is reported that many mobile phone manufacturers are evaluating Pro Max models. Pan Jiutang, a partner of Xiaomi Industrial Investment Department, also responded to this matter, which triggered a heated discussion among netizens.Pan Jiutang said, "Each of us is constantly imitating/learning from others from birth to death. Benchmarking is also the most common business strategy. Not only Chinese companies, but also overseas giants such as Apple (Xerox/Braun), Microsoft, and Google are also buying and copying in large quantities."
He concluded that one cannot step into the same river twice. Success through imitation is also extremely difficult and requires innovation. From the user's perspective, it is possible to criticize, but some companies often criticize peers for imitating because of "envy, jealousy, and hatred."
Although Pan Jiutang's views triggered heated discussions among netizens, the development of the industry is indeed the same.
Industry experts said that companies around the world are doing this by learning from the excellent practices of industry peers and transforming and absorbing them into their own.
"Look at Toyota before. In the early stage, there were all kinds of imitations. In the end, they absorbed it and turned it into their own thing, and finally became the king. So when looking at the problem, we need to open up the pattern."
