BAIC Group 20 17 signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Xiaomi. If Xiaomi finally chooses Blue Valley Magna, it may be the implementation of the strategic cooperation agreement between the two parties. In fact, compared with the high-end brands launched by SAIC and Dongfeng, Jianghuai and Weilai, Geely and Baidu, Great Wall and BMW, there are not many large car companies that can join hands with Xiaomi. BAIC has the conditions, but BAIC has already cooperated with Huawei, and it is unlikely to choose Xiaomi again.
Although the news of cooperation with whom was not disclosed, it can be seen that Sunway Capital of Xiaomi has invested in many enterprises and fields.

Xiaomi is a very powerful enterprise. After determining that Xiaomi wants to build a car, he will not accept external investment to show his strength. But in the short term, if Xiaomi does not seek any cooperation, it is almost impossible to build a car in a short time.
