A technology entrepreneur sold his company for 1,600 million and only stayed with 100

by

The History of Brian O’Kelley It stands out among business and technology holders for a very rare decision in a context of Technological Millionaires. Like many others before him, O’Kelley gave a millionaire ball selling his company Appnexus in 2018 for 1.6 billion dollars. The most surprising thing is that, instead of withdraw with full pocketshe chose to be alone a small part of fortune and donate the rest to beneficial causes. Such and as they counted in Fortunehis position has given what to talk about, especially in a context where more and more entrepreneurs reflect on The social impact of their fortunes and the responsibility of returning part of the benefits to society, instead of limiting itself to accumulating Large amounts of money that would not spend Not in seven lives. His vision of ethical wealth Brian O’Kelley sold his company to AT&T for an amount of $ 1.6 billion in 2018. instead of retire to enjoy your new fortuneO’Kelley had with his wife what he defined as a “really interesting conversation”: decide How much money they needed To live comfortably. “We simply calculate an amount that we consider enough to buy a house and things like that, we double it and give it the rest,” confessed the entrepreneur to Fortune. The final figure were nothing negligible 100 million dollars, equivalent to 10% of their participation in the company after the acquisition. The rest, more than 1.5 billion dollars, was allocated to beneficial causes and social projects. O’Kelley maintains a very clear philosophy about The accumulation of money: “I don’t believe in billionaires. I think it’s simply ridiculous.” For the entrepreneur, the really important thing is to keep the feet on the floor and limit personal wealth to continue making responsible decisions in everyday life. “We never wanted to have so much money that we did not have to make decisions. We have an incredible life, we can do almost everything we want. But we cannot do everything we want. We have to talk about our budget as any other person,” said the millionaire businessman. O’Kelley It is not the only millionaire that assumes one Ethical perspective of its wealthand insist on demanding governments a greater tax imposition For great fortunes. The Founder of Appnexus considers that accumulating billions and show off it It takes you away from reality. “I do not understand why you need 200 billion, 500 billion or even 1,000 million. The joy of appreciating what we have and making those difficult decisions is really fundamental.” Millionaires who do not want to leave inheritance Brian O’Kelley either wants his children to enjoy a life ofprivileges without making any effort To deserve it. “I feel fatal because my children can fly in Business“, says the millionaire of 1.96 m, ensuring that he does it for comfort.” I have flown all over the world in a tourist class many times, this is to give me a whim, but I do not want to spoil my children. And a lot of this leads me to think about how they see life from their eyes. I want them to share a little of that fight that I had to do to get there. “ This approach goes in line with the growing trend between millionaires like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett or Mick Jaggerwho have announced that They will not leave their fortunes to their children and prefer allocate your money to social works. Gates, for example, states that 99% of his fortune will be donated and that only 1% will go to their children, so they can learn The value of the effort. O’Kelley is overwhelming when talking about ostentatious lifestyles pointing out that hopefully more people question why the style of Jeff Bezos life. “You cannot have a yacht, a helicopter, an island and a large building with your name and all those things, because then you are a bit unbearable. No human being can really appreciate that. It is a waste of incredibly ridiculous money in a world where there are so many people who do not have it.” The entrepreneur considers to stay connected with normality and have limits that allow you to carry A responsible life. “There is something to stay connected to normal that is really important. I don’t want to get to act without consequences. I think that is the greatest risk, how can we be responsible when we have so much money that we can buy anything?” In Xataka | There is a less painful solution for an inheritance not to become a ruin for heirs: give up it Image | Flickr (IAB UK)

Lamborghini has taken advantage of the The quail car event To present in society his last great masterpiece: the Lamborghini phenomenon. It is not for vanity, but beyond being the name of a bull of fight, this LIMITED EDITION SUPPORTIVE It will be an extremely rare phenomenon to see, which only 29 units will be manufactured, so your name does justice. This hybrid supercar not only impresses with its figures, the Phenomenon celebrates exclusivity of the brand and 20 years of the Stile Lamborghini center. The brand has opted for a limited roll, which already is completely sold before leaving To the street. Although the brand has not officially confirmed its price, it is estimated that its sale price will be around 3 million euros, according to advanced Motor.es. A hybrid power under the hood Like the scramble, under the hood of the phenomenon we have A hybrid block plug -in for An atmospheric V12 6.5 liters of Lamborghini capable of delivering 835 hp to 9,250 rpm, attended by Three electric motors which provide additional power of 245 hp to add impressive 1,080 hp. The most striking thing is that, despite that power, the phenomenon could circulate even through the center of the cities for complying with the ECO Tag Specifications. This configuration allows 0 to 100km/h in just 2.4 seconds, reaching 200 km/h in 6.7 seconds and exceeding the maximum speed of 350 km/h. The weight/power ratio is located in only 1.64 kg for each CV of power, which leaves us with the best in Lamborghini’s story. “When we presented the burst in 2007, our goal was assured Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini. Design, aerodynamics and shortage of Lamborghini The Lamborghini phenomenon not only surprises with its engine, it is also a declaration of intentions in terms of design and technology. Drinks from the same sources of inspiration as The scramblewith which it shares the same monocasco chassis of carbon fiber. The Stile Center of Lamborghini has marked aerodynamic lines dominated by the softness of a short and curved nose with a stretched rear that enhances the grip effect on the rear train to achieve maximum efficiency. Everything is designed to the millimeter: air intakes inspired by the competition, a frontal S-DUC system to increase aerodynamic load on the front axle and a concave roof that directs the flow to the rear. Lamborghini recovers shortage and exclusivity strategy of their Few-off with very limited manufacturing rolls to ensure that each unit maintains its value. It is a strategy of Sant’agata Bolognese implemented in 2007 with the Lamborghini Reventón, and have continued with significant models, such as the sest element (2010), Lamborghini Veneno (2013), centenary (2016), sián (2019) and the reissue of the Countach of 2021. Phenomenon: Before being a car was a bull As tradition marks its name returns to the bullfighting roots of the brand. The phenomenon name comes from a very brave and famous bull dealt with Morelia, Mexico, in 2002. In that run, the animal was pardoned by the bravery it demonstrated in the ring. This historical wink is part of Lamborghini’s bullfighting mystique, paying tribute to emblematic models Already the beast that inspires its legend. “The phenomenon is an extraordinary car in terms of benefits, style and its disruptive character as a representative of Lamborghini, created to celebrate the values and achievements of our brand, and dedicated to those clients who expect from us the maximum level of exclusivity,” said Winkelmann. That means that, despite the fact that it is already An exclusive model reserved for a few lucky, Each of them can be customized even more with the program Lamborghini ad Personadding some zeros to the final bill to make each of the 29 units unique.

Most of microwave that are sold in the world are manufactured by the same company. And it is China

by

When you look for a New microwave It usually goes to a commercial area to see the available models, which are of different brands and that have different benefits and prices. The surprise is that most of them are manufactured by a single company. The microwave company. Based in Guangdong, Midea is the most important appliance manufacturer in the world. It is by far the largest microwave producer throughout the planet, and although part of them are sold under that brand, many others are actually made for other brands such as GE, Whirpool, Toshiba or badge. Although they look different on the outside, it is enough to take a look at the rear to verify that many models are variants of the same template. Source: Wirecutter. A first level OEM. It measures not only manufacture their own appliances, but also a good part of their business is to be a gigantic OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Or what is the same: build for others. As They point In Slashgear, brands such as GE, Whirpoool, Badge or Sharp use those services Market share. There are no official data of the company, but it is estimated to measure factory about 40 million microwaves a year, and the global market In 2023 it was between 110 and 130 million distributed units. That means that it measures between 30 and 35% market share, even more. Shared components. This is the reason in addition to the fact that many microwave have such a similar aspect at external levelbut also are similar internally. Components such as capacitors, ventilation grilles or rear panels or coincide – as if they start from the same template – or are very similar. A silent giant. Measurefounded in 1968, had a total of 190,000 workers in 2023, and its geographical presence is enormous: it is in more than 200 countries, which basically its products are to a greater or lesser extent present worldwide. Both directly and through its role as OEM. Hello, scale economy. Midea’s domain is due to its domain of the economy of scale in this sector. By manufacturing huge amounts of microwave, this manufacturer benefits from cost savings and that allows to offer better prices in these models. That, in turn, contributes to such “white brand” models – as happens With many food products– Be bought by brands that only have to add aesthetic details to these models. Brands save the manufacturing part and invest in marketing, distribution or support services. Local competitors. There is some other OEM like Galanz – also Chinese, and also based in Guangdong – that manufactures microolandas for RCA or Avanti. These brands are better known among American consumers, but in reality these manufacturers work for brands of appliances around the world. Above all, those of entrance range. The brands, of course, are not especially transparent in this area and there are no specific data on the agreements they have with measures or which of their models (if there are) are manufactured by this Chinese giant. Even so, the practice is common in its input range models, both in the US and in Asia or Europe. Here Siemens, Bosch, Electrolux or Teka (which announced that I measured it in April) are some of the brands that use Midea services as OEM. For the average and high ranges models, manufacturers do usually produce their own microwave. Well for our pocket. The truth is that this Midea domain allows consumers to end up benefiting ourselves from entry ranges that have more accessible prices. The options for those who prefer models with more performance are there, but in the end you opt for an economic model, we insist: it is quite likely that whoever is behind is measured. That does not take away for that there are no risks: When a manufacturer dominates both a market, it can also impose its own conditions.

It is sold for the same thing that cost to create it

Naver, the company that owns the Messenger Line APP, has bought 100% wallapop for 600 million euros. It is the same amount that investors have contributed during their twelve years of history. Why is it important. This operation reveals a unique paradox in the Spanish ecosystem: a startup is sold at the best operational moment in its history but in its worst market assessment in a long time. And return exactly the money invested without generating added return for its financial founders. The facts. The Shareholders Board approved last Friday the sale to the South Korean multinational Naverfor 600 million euros. The figure is a 206 million discount compared to the February 2024 assessment, when It was tasted at 806 million. During his twelve years of life, Wallapop had raised approximately 600 million in seven rounds of financing. The startup is literally sold, so it cost to build. The panoramic. Wallapop was going through his best moment from the business perspective: Income of 90 million in 2023, a 25%growth. Reduced losses to 30 million, compared to 50 million 2022. 19 million active users. Consolidated presence in Spain, Italy and Portugal. However, the market context has played against him. The inflated assessments of 2023-2024 have been corrected abruptly, and Wallapop has not been an exception. Between bambalins. Naver, who already controlled 30% of the capital since 2021, has taken advantage of its internal shareholder position to force a purchase at the opportunity price. The South Korean multinational used the clauses of Drag Along to drag even dissident partners. The US Fund 14W, with 18% of the capital, He opposed the operation frontally. Your leader, Alex Zubillagacame to threaten legal actions and presented a 450 million counterofferte in March. The irony: protested by an assessment 150 million higher than yours. In figures. The numbers of this operation are a reflection of the complexity of the moment: 600 million: Sale and total capital price historically. 206 million: Discount regarding the last round. 1.5x: Approximate return for the most veteran funds such as Accel and Insight. 0x: added return for the set of investors. Yes, but. He Ico, who entered the last round With 20 million (3% of the capital), it will not lose money. He negotiated a preferential liquidation clause that guarantees the full return of his investment, a armor that other funds do not have. Turning point. The operation marks a before and after in the Spanish ecosystem. It shows that reaching valuations that touch the unicorn does not guarantee returns for investors, especially when the Timing At the entrance it is not the luckiest. Naver takes one of the most promising Spanish startups just when she began to demonstrate her real potential. For investors, twelve years of patience are caught with a technical draw: they recover the invested, but without the expected profitability in a high -risk bet. Deepen. The Startup, founded in 2013 by Agustín Gómez, Miguel Vicente and Gerard Olivé, now becomes part of the Naver Technological Empire, which includes the leading search engine in South Korea and the aforementioned Line Messenger application.

Efffetá and Emaus sold as “Catholic retreats.” Now his organizers are investigated for behaving as sects

by

Problems in the so -called Spanish “Catholicism”: the HAM, one of the associations behind the secretists Catholic retreats Efffetá and Emaus, is being investigated. After the complaints that support the actions of the archbishopric of Madrid, some mysterious and transformative activities that have been receiving close attention, not always positive, in the past months. What happened. The Archbishopric of Madrid has decided in 2025 intervene and dissolve HAMan association that was falsely presented as a religious congregation. The reasons include numerous allegations of heresies, sexual abuse, spiritual and power abuses, as well as behaviors considered “sectarian,” how to separate the youth of their families. The investigation was led by the Rota court, with the support of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Civil Guard, which also analyzes a possible case of continued abuse. The tentacles of the work. The measures affect not only Madrid but other Spanish dioceses, such as Toledo, Sevilla and Getafe, where the HAM had presence and convents. The HAM (acronym for merciful love sisters) had been approved as a public association of faithful in 2007 and came to have a secular branch of about 300 members. The association was famous especially for organizing retreats Efffetá and Emausspear heads (especially the first) of the known as “Catholicism Guay”. Catholicism … Guay? Emaus are Contemporary Catholic retreats They have acquired Great notoriety In Spain and Latin America for its approach, its secrecy and its emotional impact. Emaus He was born in the seventies in Miami and is oriented to adults. Efffetá is inspired by its structure but is an activity aimed at young people between 18 and 30 years old. Born in Colombia in 2013 and expands rapidly, arriving in Spain only a few months later. Both retreats are Initiatives promoted by lay that have previously gone through the experience, and that they are called “servants.” Those who attend for the first time are called “walkers.” Secretism is key. One of the key standards of these retreats is secretism: participants must deliver mobiles and watches at the beginning and are asked to reveal anything about the activities to “not anticipate surprise” to future assistants. The motto of retreats, in fact, is “what is said here, here stays.” And what is lived there? Testimonies of personal transformation, group dynamics, cults of worship and symbolisms such as masks, strings or the construction of symbolic “walls”. In addition, these retreats cannot be repeated: it is only allowed to attend as a participant once in life. Subsequently, it can only be returned as a server, helping in the organization for others. Serious complaints. Although its many defenders defend secrecy as an integral part of the experience, to the point of taking it to its famous motto, it is what raised suspicions from the beginning (the psychologist Miguel Pearl spoke of a “Emotional and ideological bombardment”), which have been confirmed with the case of HAM, dissolved upon receiving “multiple complaints of abuse of power, abuse of consciousness and affective-sexual incidents.” The intervention of the ecclesiastical authority responds, in addition to the complaints, to a concern for methodologies that can lead to emotional manipulation, families or thought control, all characteristics of the sects. Hakuna connection. If we talk about “guay Catholicism” it is inevitable to refer to the group of Catholic pop mass hakuna. This new spirituality for young Christians has a lot to do with the activities of Efffetá and Emaus, and eldiario.es stands outIn fact, that the town of Las Rozas where the musical movement led by the priest and ex of the Opus Dei José Pedro Manglano carries out was the old headquarters of the daughters of merciful love. At the moment, the archdiocese is erasing every trace of the Internet HAM: the Hamilías YouTube channeland his videoserie ‘GODIDIENCIAS“. Everything suggests that the popular retreats managed by the association could disappear or, at least, take a turn towards a less mysterious orientation.

In 2011 a group of investors bought 80,000 bitcoins. They have been sold by 17,000,000% more expensive

That term contains a good part of the philosophy of these users, which believe that cryptocurrencies They are a long -term bet that it is necessary to maintain for years to obtain the maximum benefit. There are people who are demonstrating that the thing works. 17,000,000% benefit. Last week, A “whale” (Whatle) Bitcoin sold 80,000 bitcoin for 9,500 million dollars. A user in X (formerly Twitter) detected that mass transaction and the Implicit traceability of the block chain De Bitcoin allowed to know that these bitcoins were acquired (or probably undermined) in 2011 and at that time they had a value of $ 54,000. That means that in these 14 years the benefit of those who sold them has been simply amazing: 17,000,000%. But it is not the only one. Another early cryptocrevent Roger see– It also recently sold another 80,000 BTC. Acquired them in 2014 for $ 210,000, and at the beginning of the month the transaction was detected according to which he had sold them for 8,600 million dollars. Your benefit: 4,000,000%. Multimillionaire whales. There have been additional movements that are also very striking although comparatively are in the shadow of the previous two. At the beginning of July two bitcoin portfolios that had been inactive for 14 years transferred 10,000 BTC each to other different wallets. In 2011, those 10,000 BT had cost $ 16,000, and now their joint value would be around 1,000 million dollars. Bitcoin at maximum. These transactions have occurred Just with Bitcoin achieving historical values. On July 14 the cryptocurrency reached $ 123,000, although since then there has been a small correction and the current value is around $ 118,000. Hodl and strong will. Some users joked by saying that this seller will end up regretting when (or rather “yes”) Bitcoin reaches a value of one million dollars, but the truth is that those who have sold are a spectacular example of that Hodl philosophy. Keep your bitcoins all these years has had to be an exercise of extraordinary patience, especially when at this time There have been numerous increases (and descents) important that surely caused great temptations to sell then. They resisted, and now they have seen the reward. Exceptional demand. As they point out In CointegraphBitcoin’s demand is so spectacular that for example the sale of the 80,000 BTC (0.4% of the amount current today) was “completely absorbed by the market” almost immediately. Movements of this magnitude were supposed to affect the price of Bitcoin, but they did not barely. The immediately posterior impact was sensitive (3.5% value drop) but then the side effects of that sale They have been apparently nil.

The Xiaomi CEO came out in a video showing a new product and sold out in minutes. It was a cat carrier

by

To exhaust products in minutes is something that Xiaomi has enough experience. More than a decade ago already They got it with their mobiles And currently your star product are cars; They recently sold 200,000 units of Xiaomi Yu7 in three minutes. The last product that have exhausted just put it on sale has not been technological, but something much simpler: a cat carrier. Exhausted. They tell it in Following The Yuan. After the publication of A video in which we see Lei Jun showing the cat bagThe brand had to hang the exhausted poster in just a few minutes. The bag-transport cost only 199 yuan, which to the current exchange is about 23 euros, and was put on sale as an accessory for the company’s SUV, the company, the Xiaomi Yu7. Designed by cat owners. In the video, Lei Jun tells that the transport has been designed in collaboration with brand employees who have cats. It emphasizes that it has a spacious interior, ventilation grilles on both sides and a transparent window at the top. It also has a pocket on the side. The truth is that, although the design seems very careful, it has nothing super -revolutionary, it is a fairly normal cloth transport. It doesn’t matter, that has not prevented them from running out. For the car. As we said, Xiaomi has promoted this new cat bag as an accessory for Xiaomi Yu7. The car has the possibility of activating a “pet mode” which consists in the installation of a camera in the rearview mirror that allows us to control pets and also has a speaker so that we can talk to them. In addition, by activating this mode the air conditioning continues to work so that they do not pass heat (or cold, it depends). It is not the only brand that offers something like that, others like Tesla either Mercedes They also have it. Pets like target. We have more and more pets and also They occupy a more privileged position in families. China does not get rid. To the current rhythm, it is expected that by the end of the decade Pets exceed children under 4 years. Given this, more and more technological companies that enter the growing segment of pets.

The largest piece on Mars on Earth has just sold for 5.3 million dollars

by

A Roca from Mars which was found in the Sahara desert in November 2023 has sprayed all records in an auction in New York. A 25 -kilogram meteorite. The largest piece of Mars found on Earth already owns, and is an anonymous buyer who won the Sotheby’s auction After a bid of 4.3 million dollars. Will pay 5.3 millionif we add taxes and fees, the highest price ever paid by a meteorite. The rock, baptized as NWA 16788, weighs no less than 24.67 kilograms. With its almost 38 centimeters long, it is 70% larger than the previous largest Martian meteor. From Mars to an anonymous collector. NWA 16788 had traveled 225 million kilometers when a meteorit hunter took him in the remote region of Agadez, in Niger. It did not gently detach from Mars. He was torn from his surface due to the impact of such a violent asteroid that liquefied part of his minerals and catapulted him to space. From there, he undertook a trip of about 225 million kilometers before the earthly gravity attracted him. Its reddish cortex and depressions on its surface are the scars of its entrance through our atmosphere. It is now officially a luxury object that shows that it is possible to speculate with Martian soil. The extraterrestrial market is booming. This sale is not an isolated event, but the confirmation of an upward trend. The meteorit market is an active niche where the rarity, size and history of rocks trigger prices, but none has reached a price as high as NWA 16788. The one that was closest was the Fukang meteoritefamous for its embedded Olivino gems. In 2008, the Bonhams house tried to sell it for 2 million dollars. Pujadores preferred to invest their money in the fossilized manure of a dinosaur that was 130 million years old. In 2021, the Christie’s house sold a Martian meteorite for $ 200,000. Who knows if we will see it in a museum. The sale of such a singular meteor has revived, as expected, an old controversy in the scientific community. Many regret that a piece of incalculable value for science and dissemination can end up in a private battleship chamber. Being anonymous, the buyer’s intentions are unknown Fortunately, not all meteorite is lost to science. A reference sample has been preserved at the Purple Mountain Observatory, in China to analyze it.

An Italian artist sold a sculpture for 15,000 euros. The material of that sculpture: “Air and spirit”

by

That does not spend too much time without having to put on the table the eternal debate of What is art and what not. This time, an intangible sculpture brings this debate without clear response to the conversations. Is art what one wants it to be art? Well, yes in broad strokes. But there are nuances that this air sculpture is exceeding. 15,000 for nothing. Or for “nothing”, as you look. The artist Sardo Salvatore Garau, born in 1953, is the signer of ‘Io Sono’ (I am), an invisible sculpture, but which, according to its creator, exists because it is made of “air and spirit”. It was auctioned in 2021 and sold for 15,000 euros, but has returned to the present thanks to a viral post of the British medium Pubitythat thanks to its 40 million followers has recovered this Performance Invisible, in a publication that is already approaching the million ‘like’. With certificate of authenticity. It reads “Intangible sculpture to place in a free space of any hindrance. Variable dimensions, approximately 200 x 200 cm. Work accompanied by an authenticity certificate issued by the artist. Archive work with N. IM5. This certificate It is all the buyer received, and Garau explained That is the void that gives the work its power, because it is able to stimulate the reflection and perception of the spectator. Intangible art Garau is not inventing anything: Intangible art It is an artistic current that exists since the time of the conceptual art of the 60s and 70s, when it was defended that the work is not manifested through a traditional physical object, but is built with intangible elements such as sound, light, vacuum or energy. Among its most notable growers are Sun Lewittwhich defended that the idea could be the true work of art, or Yves Kleinwhich presented an empty room in 1958, symbolizing absolute immateriality. Klein even sells some of these vacuum zones, underlining its symbolic value. Art or thymus? A few years ago, an artist sold two white canvases to a museum under the name ‘Take the money and run’: it is another Performance in which a poisonous sense of humor underlies, but It can also be interpreted as art. Although it is undeniable that it is an art that reflects, from the margins, about the commodification of creativity and about the business around artistic creation. “The underlying idea was to show how salaries can be used to measure the value of the work,” said Danish artist Jens Haaning when he delivered the blank canvases in response to an assignment: to recreate two of his previous works. That is, in that case, delivery and collection were part of the work. It was almost a manifest. Sources and bananas. Likewise, as a manifesto the famous ‘source’ of Duchamp, an inverted toilet can be interpreted whose real authorship does not finish being clear And that helped to start the eternal debate of What is art and what not. Or the last earthquake that the industry lived, the famous banana attached to a wall with American tapeit was also a clear posture taking about certain controversial issues. Its 6.2 million dollars caught their attention, but everything was part of its creator’s proposal. You can, of course, discuss whether it is a face proposal, but do not doubt its intentionality. This paints my nephew. The debate on whether conceptual art is more or less valuable than figurative art It will never end. Much more now that artificial intelligences enter Liza and even Human intervention itself can doubt As part of creation. The conversation about what art is and what is not part, in fact, of the conception and discussion about it, and Garau’s sculpture is still an apostille in an eternal controversy.

Xiaomi has sold 200,000 electric SUVs in 180 seconds. Tesla has reasons to worry

by

Present a car, open orders that same night and close 200,000 orders in three minutes. Xiaomi with him Yu7 It is not an anecdote, it is the best proof of the meteoric promotion that it is achieving in an industry in which it has been participating for just a year. He managed to win at Tesla Model 3 In China and the plan is clear: to be even more ambitious with Yu7. Xiaomi destroys your own record. 289,000 units sold in just one hour and 200,000 in the first three minutes. Xiaomi has made it clear that Xiaomi Yu7 is destined to be a success in sales. A key fact is that these sales, in the first seven days they are reimbursable, so they do not have to be a direct translation of the final volume. So that you have more context the Xiaomi Su7, the Yu7 sister electric Berlina, obtained 50,000 orders in the first half hour of its output for sale, and a total of 88,898 In the first 24h. Barbarian figures for the company’s first car, multiplied in this second model. Why is it important. Xiaomi has a clear objective with Yu7, aim at the best -selling electric SUV of China. That SUV is the Tesla Model and. Elon Musk’s company closed 2024 with just over 480,000 units sold throughout the year, and claims to have 200,000 orders from the new Model and Juniper In the country. The war between these two models has just begun, but Xiaomi seems to have everything to achieve its purpose. We have the best track in what he has achieved with his electric Berlina. He already succeeded with the SU7. Xiaomi needed no more than a few months to sell in China more than Model 3 of Tesla. He succeeded in December 2024, with 25,815 units compared to 21,046 of his main rival. The figure catapulted SU7 as the Fourth best -selling electric sedan in the countryand closed the year with more than 135,000 units sold in front of the 75,000 Tesla. With just a model in the market, Xiaomi has managed to sneak into the top 20 of best -selling manufacturers in Chinaabove rivals like Lynk & Co and Zeekr. The global photo is still headed by a byd that seems unbeatable, and Xiaomi needs to climb from the 24th place in the ranking Until the seventh since Tesla had last May. It looks like an almost impossible climb. But it is not. The code of sorpasso. Tesla has had excellent months with Model and in China. In March, it was the best selling electric with 43,370 units.
