Lei Jun: After listening to the government work report, I have three feelings

According to Lei Jun's WeChat public account, Lei Jun: I listened to the Prime Minister's government work report this morning. As a representative of private enterprises, I was very encouraged and felt that I had a mission on my shoulders. This report is both high-level and points out the direction of progress; it is also very pragmatic, listing many practical measures, conveying the spirit of "facing difficulties and working hard", and fully reflecting the courage and responsibility of the Party and the government. In the Prime Minister's report, I was most impressed by three points: First, steady progress and hard work bring confidence and confidence. Second, focus on the people and focus on people's livelihood. Third, develop new quality productivity with confidence and always adhere to innovation to promote high-quality development. "Innovation" and "high-quality development" run through this year's report. As a private entrepreneur in the field of science and technology, I am extremely excited and inspired, and full of confidence in high-quality development. The report mentioned the requirements of stimulating the innovative vitality of the digital economy, continuously promoting the "artificial intelligence +" action, vigorously developing a new generation of intelligent terminals such as intelligent networked new energy vehicles, artificial intelligence mobile phones and computers, intelligent robots, and intelligent manufacturing equipment, which are closely related to Xiaomi's business. Xiaomi will continue to unswervingly follow the path of technological innovation and high-end development, and apply advanced artificial intelligence technology to our various terminal products, so that consumers can experience the good life brought by technology. In addition, the report specifically proposed to comprehensively rectify the "involution" competition, which I fully agree with. The essence of "anti-involution" is to resolutely avoid low-quality homogeneous competition. We must clearly oppose involution and clearly adhere to high-quality development. Innovation is the driving force of high-quality development. Only by adhering to the innovation of underlying technologies can we continuously achieve efficiency improvement and experience improvement. "Run forward, don't roll in place", we must firmly promote high-end development, highlight differentiation and personalization, and always adhere to the path of high-quality development.
