Even on July 8, Lei said that the company has opened 14 new stores. Another step Xiaomi has made is a three-year continuous investment in global business.
"Xiaomi's global business has achieved not only significant growth but has skyrocketed considerably from previous years, but Xiaomi's performance in India, Indonesia, Russia, Ukraine and some other countries is very good," Lei Jun said.
