Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi Group, recently responded to the Internet controversy caused by "premature" at the "Ambassador's Living Room Special" of the 32nd Beijing International Book Expo, and said that those who attacked him were just for traffic. Lei Jun said: "Such a simple thing has been on the hot search for several days. I am also surprised."
He said bluntly: "In today's era of traffic, you may praise you for your traffic, scold you for your traffic, and ridicule you for your traffic. This may be the price we all have to bear in this era."
"The people who attack me may have no position and are just doing it for traffic. There are even troll companies that want to make money from traffic. So when you see these reports, just smile."
On May 15, Lei Jun went to Wuhan to attend the World Youth Development Forum. As a native of Hubei, he went to a breakfast shop too early with his colleagues. A little girl passing by said, "There are so many people taking pictures while eating breakfast." The relevant clip triggered a heated discussion on the Internet, and some people questioned Lei Jun's staged photo.
On the evening of June 21, Xu Jieyun, special assistant to the chairman of Xiaomi Group and deputy general manager of the strategic marketing department, issued a response, saying that Lei Jun has been vlogging for two years after work. It is reasonable to bring a camera when vlogging. He quoted writer Liu Zhenyun as saying that "there is no truth, only emotions and perspectives", and said that "it is better for our world to be less dark."
