Shanghai Commercial Property Won by Xiaomi Is for New Local Headquarter
On October 23, an individual close to Xiaomi‘s deal for commercial land in Shanghai said that the property is not intended for the firm’s carmaking business, but for the new Shanghai headquarter, planned as early as 2018.
“At present, the functions of Shanghai headquarter include mobile phone research and development, finance, internet and other businesses. Employees in these departments are working in separate offices. The construction plan of this land is to combine these teams,” the person added.
