Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun visited the Haier headquarters today. During the meeting, he presented Haier chairman Zhou Yunjie with a scale model of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra electric vehicle.
The two executives have maintained a professional dialogue for some time. Last year, Zhou Yunjie emphasized that competition between companies is a standard practice and expressed openness to cross-ecosystem compatibility.
Haier's chairman noted that the future of the industry lies in dialogue between ecosystems rather than direct confrontation. He advocates for unified interfaces that prioritize user convenience across different smart home platforms.
Haier is actively exploring smart home connectivity with various industry players, including Xiaomi. Zhou Yunjie confirmed that he and Lei Jun previously discussed these integration topics during the National People's Congress sessions.
