Li Bin: Weilai mobile phone does not compete with Xiaomi and Huawei
Recently, Li Bin was interviewed by the media "Chinese Entrepreneur" . When asked about why he made a mobile phone, Li Bin revealed: We do not want to compete with Xiaomi and Huawei in making mobile phones. The logic is different. You can understand it as NIO Life of Weilai. We are not going to be a clothing company or a food company, but to focus on user needs and based on our connection with users to meet their usage scenarios. Of course, this is meaningful. We Not many resources are invested.
Regarding sales, Li Bin did not set a high goal. He said: For me, the mobile phone sells hundreds of thousands of units, and half of our users buy it. If they think it is good, I am very happy. I think the goal has been achieved. Because for users, if you have already bought hundreds of thousands of cars, and then buy thousands of dollars of mobile phones, it seems that the decision-making pressure is not so great. But if you buy a cell phone worth 1,000 yuan and then a car worth 300,000 yuan, the decision-making pressure will be great. I think that except for Apple, other mobile phone companies in the world may not have such brand potential at present.
In addition, Weilai previously revealed that it will hold a separate press conference for mobile phones in 2023. Car manufacturers make mobile phones, and mobile phone manufacturers make cars. Who do you like?
