Breakthrough ideas

Wang Chuan initially thought of doing TV. Although he and his watch more team had not officially joined Xiaomi at that time, they were already members of Lei Jun's department. Wang Chuan and Lei Jun are good friends for many years. They have repeated a sentence on different occasions. Lei Jun once said to Wang Chuan: I support whatever you do.

However, Xiaomi's determination to invest in TV will never be based on personal friendship. Although Wang Chuan is not born in the television industry, most of his business ventures are related to interaction design and user experience, and he is not a hardware layman. In the past few years, Wang Chuan has led his team to make set-top boxes, and even has a precedent of cooperation with traditional television companies. He even relies on independent exploration to launch corresponding third-party operating systems for a number of hardware products from other manufacturers .

When it comes to his design, Wang Chuan's pride is always expressed in words. When it comes to excitement, Wang Chuan grabs an oily pen and draws a structural drawing on the whiteboard behind him.

As a continuous entrepreneur with hundreds of millions of wealth, Wang Chuan said that the reason why he is still working hard is not for money, but a process to realize his ideal. He described Xiaomi's team like this: "we adore jobs. Without him, our life would be less fun and colorful. If we have the chance to be a part of apple, we will be worth it all our life.".

crossover design

During the journey from the exhibition stand to Xiaomi TV, a man named kelani gave Wang Chuan great inspiration. Luigi Colani is an outstanding and independent industrial designer. He uses curves to draw unique ecological shapes, and widely uses them in ballpoint pen, fashion, automobile, architecture and handicraft design.

Leishi once cooperated with kelani, and Wang Chuan was able to have in-depth exchanges with this master. Wang Chuan remembers that some people asked him why he could become a cross-border designer. He replied: I never wanted to be a cross-border designer. I just like beautiful things. There are many ugly things in my life. I just want to change them into beautiful ones.
