Negative PR Can't Stop Xiaomi's Second Growth Curve in EVs

Last night at an investor dinner in Guomao, an old friend suddenly lowered his voice and asked me, 'Boss Shen, you’ve invested in so many AI projects—what do you make of the smear campaign against Xiaomi Pengcheng? I heard suppliers are spreading rumors in group chats that the N90’s chassis architecture is copied and that there are issues with the battery pack.' I just smiled and didn’t respond. In the projects I review annually, at least a third face similar 'hit pieces' before launch. But for Xiaomi’s official team to respond with phrases like 'pure fabrication, absolutely absurd,' clearly indicates a different level of severity.
