You stole our idea!
Chu Kingdom was primary in Hubei!
Don't be selfish. You know there are many part of Hunan province in Chu Kindom even Qu Yuan died in Miluo, Hunan.
But Chu Kindom was mainly in Hubei, that's right.

题外话,你继续。:cheers:

Sorry, off topic.
 
LOOOL I'm talking about high end/top Japanese, S. Korean, Taiwanese components suppliers like securing supplies of display panels from Sharp,Qualcomm supply processors, Wi-Fi modules to tiny, energy-storing ceramic capacitors etc.
A quote from the article link below says
: 'A significant portion of those Chinese handsets’ guts—as much as 50% by value, in some cases—is made by Japanese companies like Murata Manufacturing Co. or TDK Corp.':eek:
'Chinese companies are boosting purchases of Japanese parts as they push beyond the domestic market, in order to upgrade their phones. In some Chinese-branded phones, Japanese suppliers provide up to half of the parts by value, said Daiki Takayama, an analyst at Goldman Sachs':what:

Its for this reason i believe Chinese smartphone makers like Xiaomi ought to move up the value Chain and invest more in R&D. Also Chinese component/electronic suppliers/makers have to really up their game, they seem to still be in the low end/middle end segment for now, which isnt very lucrative to be honest. China has the scale/industrial base/supply chain to do it, reason im surprise it still has to rely on Japanese,Korean and Taiwanese suppliers for most parts of its phones.

Moreover as i said, Xiaomi value is merely an estimate investors assigned to it, its not yet listed. Moreover, this can quickly slide when the hype cools down(it always does), in case Xiaomi doesn't invest more on differentiating its product in the long run from others, instead of competing on price only. However, i have to say i dont blame Xiaomi that much, since its still a new company compared to other giants like Huawei, Samsung, Apple, etc who have been in business for quite a long time. So i still give Xiaomi some credit, hopefully with time it will keep its lights on. We will have to wait for 5 years from now to see how things play out.
Japanese(together with Chinese and Korean, Twain) component suppliers are also venders to Apple. That does not change the fact Apple is a great company and actually the most valued one in the world.

Xiaomi's website overloaded by Brazilian buyers on first day of launch
2015-07-08 15:44:24

SAO PAULO, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi's online store in Brazil was overloaded on Tuesday due to the large amount of buyers, the first day its products were put on sale here.

Xiaomi's star model "Redmi 2" was officially put on sale for the Brazilian market on its online store at 12:00 a.m. local time Tuesday.

The first batch of smartphones were only for consumers with reservations, but the number of buyers trying to visit the website increased so fast that the online store was immediately overloaded. It returned to normal one and half an hour later.

Hugo Barra, vice president of Xiaomi international, said that the onslaught of consumers was only natural, adding that in September 2014, Indians bought all the 40,000 "Redmi 1s" smartphones in 4.2 seconds.

However, the experience was unpleasant for locals who were not familiar with Xiaomi's way of selling. Some complained on Facebook about how difficult it was to obtain a Xiaomi phone.

"I kept refreshing the webpage for two hours, but still didn't get it. Xiaomi should have given us a heads-up on its way of selling things," said Carlos Sassi. "But I will still buy it."

Brazil is Xiaomi's first market outside Asia and the cheapest Redmi 2 model is only 499 reais (162 U.S. dollars).

Xiaomi, created in 2010, is currently the fifth major smartphone maker in the world. Its MIUI operational system has 100 million subscribers.

The company has a market value of around 45 billion dollars. It sold 61 million mobile devices last year.
