Eine umfassende Zusammenfassung des Falles, dass Wang Teng von Xiaomi gefeuert wurde: Lei Jun trainierte gelassen im Fitnessstudio, die Gerüchte waren überall, und das Li Pao-Gesetz trat erneut auf.

Early on the morning of September 9th, on the Weibo hot search list, before the iPhone 17 could make a splash, Xiaomi stole the spotlight.

However, it's not a new Xiaomi phone that's in the news. Instead, Wang Teng, who was said to have "the potential of an emperor," has been fired! The reasons for his dismissal include serious violations of regulations and disciplines such as leaking company secrets and having conflicts of interest.

Yesterday, the "Professional Ethics Committee of Xiaomi Group" issued an internal email announcing the decision to deal with Wang Teng's violations.

The email shows that Wang Teng, an employee in the Marketing Department of the China region, leaked the company's confidential information and had serious violations of regulations and disciplines such as conflicts of interest. According to regulations in "Measures for Handling Violations of Regulations and Disciplines by Employees of Xiaomi Group" and "Code of Integrity and Anti - Corruption of Xiaomi Group," the company has decided to dismiss Wang Teng.

Key points: Wang Teng! Leaked company confidential information and had conflicts of interest! Fired!

As soon as the announcement was made, people were stunned. What happened to the so - called "crown prince"? Why did he seem to "stage a rebellion"? Immediately, Weibo exploded.

After hitting the hot search, Wang Teng quickly responded. He really knows how to play the online game and even linked to the super - topic. Wang Teng said in his Weibo:

"I'm very ashamed and want to say sorry to everyone. I made some mistakes in the past and am willing to accept the due consequences. Thank you, Mr. Lei and all the leaders of the company, for your cultivation and trust over the years. I'm really reluctant to leave. In the future, I will still support Xiaomi and REDMI as always. I'll take a break first and then start anew!"

By eleven or twelve o'clock, multiple topic keywords took turns topping the hot search list. Sometimes it was Lei Jun, and sometimes it was Wang Hua saying that Wang Teng had signed a confidentiality agreement alone.

Some netizens dug out Wang Teng's interactions with the internet celebrity Li Pao. On August 26th, Wang Teng invited Li Pao to test a new Redmi phone. Li Pao released a review video, and within less than 15 days, the CEO of Redmi "left."

Netizens summarized that this must be some kind of mystery!

It's still topping the hot search list until now.

This is quite normal. Wang Teng was very popular at Xiaomi. Apart from Mr. Lei, the "spokesperson" of the company, Wang Teng was the most prominent figure.

He also held a high position. Xiaomi has a total of 22 job levels, and Wang Teng was at level 21, a middle - level management cadre.

Before joining Xiaomi, Wang Teng had worked at companies such as OPPO and 360 Mobile, mainly in mobile phone product management positions.

In 2016, Wang Teng joined Xiaomi and then started his promotion path within the company, gradually growing from a product manager.

In 2019, he served as the director of the Product Department of the Mobile Phone Division.

In March 2020, he joined the REDMI product team and served as the REDMI product director.

In November 2021, he was transferred to the Henan branch of Xiaomi to be in charge of the market sales work in Henan.

On September 11, 2023, Wang Teng announced through his personal Weibo that he would serve as the spokesperson of the REDMI brand and the general manager of the REDMI Marketing Department.

On February 3, 2024, he became the general manager of the REDMI brand.

On May 8, 2024, Xiaomi issued a relevant personnel appointment. Wang Teng was appointed as the deputy general manager of the Marketing Department of the China region and the general manager of the REDMI Marketing Department. He also continued to serve as the general manager of the REDMI brand, reporting to Lu Weibing, the president of the group.

On December 31, 2024, his Weibo verification showed that Wang Teng had been promoted to the general manager of the Marketing Department of Xiaomi's China region and still served as the general manager of the REDMI brand.

It can be said that within Xiaomi, Wang Teng had a smooth journey and gradually became an important middle - level management cadre of the company.

Moreover, on the Weibo platform, he was a top digital blogger with over 1.78 million followers. His V - index reached 79.02 points, making him a "popular digital blogger." His daily reading volume exceeded 100,000, and the cumulative video views reached 38.615 million.

Netizens were also extremely interested in the memes about him. One of the widely - mentioned hot memes about Wang Teng on the internet is "Wang Teng has the potential of an emperor."

This meme originated from Chen Dong's novel "Covering the Sky." In the book, Wang Teng's father, Wang Cheng, firmly believed that his son had extraordinary talents and often claimed that "my son, Wang Teng, has the potential of an emperor," pinning high hopes on him to become a king or an emperor.

It fits. Wang Teng was on a rapid rise at Xiaomi.

However, as the plot of the novel progressed, the protagonist Ye Fan shone brightly, and Wang Teng gradually became a supporting character. He often suffered setbacks when opposing Ye Fan, making this character setting quite dramatic.

It also fits. There is also Jin Fan at Xiaomi.

What's most noteworthy and heart - wrenching is that he also had the "leakage meme," and it seems that his own meme predicted his fate.

In April 2022, some netizens reported that Wang Teng was judged to have committed a second - level leak by revealing the release time of a new product. He was punished by having his annual promotion cancelled and his performance bonus deducted. This leakage incident was suspected to be related to the release time of the standard version of the Redmi K50.

In October 2024, shortly before the release of the Xiaomi 15 series, Wei Siqi, a mobile phone product manager, even gave Wang Teng a "Think before you speak" T - shirt as a warning to abide by the confidentiality discipline. This act was regarded by netizens as another example of Wang Teng's "leakage meme."

It's worth noting that a few days ago, Wang Hua, the general manager of Xiaomi's Public Relations Department, replied to a netizen, saying that Wang Teng was on leave to avoid him from making disclosures. It seems that being on leave is almost equivalent to leaving the company.

There are various speculations about the specific reasons for his dismissal. Some say it's because he "provided core data such as Xiaomi's car pricing strategy and supply - chain costs to external institutions," while others say it's because he "leaked information about a new phone to digital bloggers in advance."

Bianews' search found that Wang Teng's Weibo was last updated on August 29th, and his Douyin updates stopped on August 30th. Currently, his Kuaishou account has been blocked.

However, while the netizens are in a frenzy, Mr. Lei remains calm and went to the gym as usual.

It shows that the internal situation at Xiaomi remains very calm. Things are not as rapid as the rumors suggest. It seems that everyone had an understanding in advance and finally chose to resolve the matter before going to bed yesterday.
