【環(huán)球網(wǎng)科技 記者 張之穎】小米全球副總裁雨果?巴拉(Hugo Barra)23日宣布離職,今天在Facebook個(gè)人主頁上發(fā)布了聲明。信中提及他對(duì)雷軍的感謝,稱其擁有"重新定義科技在我們生活中扮演的角色"的遠(yuǎn)見,雨果未來也將持續(xù)在小米全球擴(kuò)張上成為其顧問。
雨果并表示,離開小米,他認(rèn)為最好的時(shí)間點(diǎn)是:現(xiàn)在。他交代了這些年小米全球事業(yè)部,從一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)到一間公司的過程,并使印度成為擁有10億美元的年獲利、小米最大的國際市場(chǎng)。
以下是信件全文:
米粉,謝謝這美好的三年半。大約四年前,當(dāng)雷軍和林斌來找我時(shí),希望我能幫助這間年輕的新創(chuàng)公司進(jìn)軍全球賽局,我便開始這段我人生中最棒、也最具挑戰(zhàn)性的冒險(xiǎn)。我搬到離我居住的硅谷有6500英里的北京,跳脫了我的舒適圈硅谷,將一個(gè)新創(chuàng)團(tuán)隊(duì)建立成一個(gè)更大的新創(chuàng)公司。這趟旅程在每個(gè)方面都相當(dāng)精采,我可以很驕傲地說,小米國際(Xiaomi Global)是我?guī)椭鲈谶@個(gè)世界上的。
但我了解到,在最后幾年生活在這特殊環(huán)境下,讓我的生活附上巨大的代價(jià),并影響了我的健康。我的朋友們,我的家,我的生活都遠(yuǎn)在硅谷,那里和我的家人更靠近??粗^去幾年我將這么多完全放下,對(duì)我來說,現(xiàn)在很清楚是應(yīng)該回去的時(shí)候了。當(dāng)我去年底思考這些時(shí),我的結(jié)論是,小米在全球擴(kuò)張的路程上走得非常好,如果說有哪一個(gè)好的時(shí)間點(diǎn)適合回家,那就是現(xiàn)在—我能很有信心地說,我們的全球業(yè)務(wù)不再是一個(gè)內(nèi)部的新創(chuàng)企業(yè)。我們將印度從最初只是一個(gè)夢(mèng)想開始,轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)樾∶鬃畲蟮膰H市場(chǎng),每年有十億美元的獲利,比印度歷史中任何企業(yè)都更加快速。我們擴(kuò)張了印度、新加坡、馬來西亞以及其他將近20個(gè)市場(chǎng),包括俄羅斯、墨西哥和波蘭。我們和Google團(tuán)隊(duì)合作,在美國發(fā)布了首項(xiàng)官方產(chǎn)品,并在2017年CES進(jìn)行首場(chǎng)發(fā)布會(huì),并獲得三項(xiàng)榮譽(yù)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。—現(xiàn)在世界看見了小米是一家全球競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者,通過帶給每個(gè)人創(chuàng)新這樣簡(jiǎn)單的承諾,改變了科技產(chǎn)業(yè)。
更重要的是,我們現(xiàn)在擁有一個(gè)在我工作以來見過最熱忱、最優(yōu)秀的一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì),離開他們無疑是最我選擇回去時(shí)最困難的一個(gè)部分。同時(shí),我知道會(huì)很好地交手給他們。小米現(xiàn)在擁有一個(gè)強(qiáng)大、有全球視野的執(zhí)行團(tuán)隊(duì),將能持續(xù)驅(qū)動(dòng)如同我們當(dāng)初開始的動(dòng)能。
我想要謝謝小米創(chuàng)始人以及特別是我們的CEO雷軍,他是一個(gè)導(dǎo)師也是一位朋友。這真的是很令人感到謙卑也讓人振奮,能和這樣一個(gè)有遠(yuǎn)見、能重新定科技在我們生活中所扮演的角色的人一起工作。身為朋友和公司的股東,我很榮幸他一直非常支持我的轉(zhuǎn)換,并且邀請(qǐng)我持續(xù)成為小米在全球擴(kuò)張時(shí)的顧問。
對(duì)我而言,同樣對(duì)很多在中國的人來說,春節(jié)將帶來新的開始,我也將在中國新年之后轉(zhuǎn)換角色,而在我回到硅谷展開新冒險(xiǎn)之前,我將會(huì)休息一段足夠的時(shí)間。
最後給我在中國和印度的小米同事:當(dāng)我離開北京和班加羅爾的家,我依然會(huì)是你們忠誠的米粉“虎哥”。我將會(huì)密切地從旁關(guān)注你們、并在全程支持你們!以及,當(dāng)然,我要給那些在我生命中擄獲我心的全世界米粉們一個(gè)最特別的歡呼。
夥伴們保持聯(lián)絡(luò)
我們會(huì)見面的,
雨果
英文原文:
THANKS FOR A GREAT 3.5 YEARS, MI FANS — When Lei Jun and Bin Lin came to me nearly four years ago with the opportunity to help turn a young rockstar startup into a global player, I embarked on what has been the greatest and most challenging adventure of my life. I moved to Beijing, 6,500 miles out of my comfort zone in Silicon Valley, to build from scratch a startup team within a bigger startup. This journey has been nothing short of spectacular in every way, and I can proudly say that Xiaomi Global is the first baby I helped bring into the world
But what I've realized is that the last few years of living in such a singular environment have taken a huge toll on my life and started affecting my health. My friends, what I consider to be my home, and my life are back in Silicon Valley, which is also much closer to my family. Seeing how much I've left behind these past few years, it is clear to me that the time has come to return.
As I thought about this late last year, I concluded that Xiaomi is in a very good place on its global expansion path, and if there was ever going to be a good time for me to come back home, that time is now — when I can confidently say our global business is no longer just an in-house startup. We turned India from a dream into Xiaomi’s largest international market with $1 billion in annual revenues, faster than any company in India's history. We expanded into Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, and more recently 20 other markets including Russia, Mexico, and Poland. We teamed up with Google to launch our first official product in the US, and with our successful debut at CES 2017 — where we won 3 prestigious awards — the world now sees that Xiaomi is a global player changing the tech industry through our simple promise of bringing innovation to everyone.
More importantly, we now have a team of some of the most remarkable and enthusiastic people I have ever worked with, and leaving them all behind is without doubt the most difficult part of stepping away. At the same time, I know I’ll be leaving them in very good hands. Xiaomi now has a strong, globally-minded executive team who will continue to drive the momentum we began together.
I want to thank the Xiaomi founders, and particularly our CEO Lei Jun, who has been a mentor and a friend. It has been both humbling and uplifting to work with a man whose vision is redefining the role technology plays in all of our lives, and the role the China tech industry plays in the world. As a friend and shareholder of the company, I am honored that he has been very supportive of my transition and has asked me to remain an advisor to Xiaomi indefinitely, as we continue to extend our reach around the world.For me, as for many people in China, the Spring Festival brings new beginnings, and I will be transitioning out of my role at Xiaomi in February after Chinese New Year. I will take some much-needed time off before embarking on a new adventure back in Silicon Valley.
To my Xiaomi colleagues in China and India: as I leave our home in Beijing and Bangalore, please be assured that I will remain your loyal and grateful Mi fan 虎哥. I will be watching diligently from the sidelines and rooting for you guys all the way! And, of course, a very special shout-out to all our Mi fans around the world, who have won my heart for life!
Stay in touch guys
I'll be seeing you,
Hugo
