The wealthy executives of the big companies are around you.

On New Year’s Eve watching the Spring Festival Gala, the two characters “Zhui Mi” in the lower left corner, combined with the recent trending comments, aim to create the first company in human history worth a hundred trillion dollars.

Dr. Ren has been strongly supporting this, but most netizens are criticizing Dr. Ren, possibly due to the impression left by Evergrande’s situation.

What I want to clarify is that marketing slogans are understandable; people’s opinions vary in correctness. We all want to express our views. Opinions are easy—either oppose or support.

But is your opinion based on thorough thinking and analysis, or just emotional expression? That’s what I want to convey: there is no right or wrong, only analysis.

1. What exactly is Zhui Mi?

Zhui Mi has performed very well over the past year.

From 2019 to 2023, Zhui Mi Technology’s five-year compound annual growth rate exceeded 100%. IDC data shows that by Q1 2025, Zhui Mi holds about 11.3% of the global robot vacuum market, ranking third, moving up two spots from the previous year. The top two are Roborock and Ecovacs.

How about Roborock? It has a gross profit margin of 43% and a market value of 38.4 billion yuan. Before Zhui Mi entered the scene, if it can reach the same level as Roborock and Ecovacs, its market cap could be around 40-50 billion yuan.

Their overseas revenue accounts for about 40%-50%.

In the early days, Zhui Mi Technology only OEMed products for Xiaomi, mainly engaged in private-label smart home cleaning products like robotic vacuums and dusters. Founder Yu Hao realized that OEM profits are slim and heavily dependent on the client. In 2017, Zhui Mi Technology was officially established to develop its own brand.

Secondly, how is this market? I won’t go into detailed data, but there are quite a few competitors, making it a red ocean. Xiaomi, the previous OEM client, was also part of this. Xiaomi’s marketing and ecosystem are significant.

In September 2025, Xiaomi launched small home appliances and kitchen appliances, releasing many products.

2. How about the technology?

Recently, Zhui Mi Technology launched a dual-mechanical-arm floor cleaning robot, introducing the concept of “embodied intelligence” for the first time, achieving AI dual-arm collaborative cleaning. At previous events like CES in the US and AWE in China, Zhui Mi showcased a robot vacuum with mechanical arms, expected to be launched this year. The market views this as an evolution from single-function robots to multi-task, generalized household robots.

Wang Hongpin, head of R&D for Zhui Mi’s floor cleaning division in China, said: “Embodied intelligence and dual mechanical arms give the floor cleaner eyes, a brain, and hands. In the future, consumers might just push the robot around their home, and it will automatically adapt to different scenarios to complete cleaning tasks.”

Embodied intelligence is a trendy term now—simply put, it’s about making cleaning robots more like humans, smarter.

Today, a news broke: mainstream large models collectively failed. They answered incorrectly.

Even simple general knowledge questions online are not always accurate. And concepts like robots that clean like humans are just for publicity.

3. Who is Elon Musk, and what’s his situation?

4. He manages a vast tech empire including Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter), xAI (artificial intelligence), Neuralink (brain-machine interfaces), and more.

Most people know Tesla electric vehicles. SpaceX is known for using rocket recovery technology with robotic arms, and it’s original innovation.

Neuralink is also original, and it’s now in clinical trials.

2. World’s richest person: He is currently the wealthiest person in human history. Driven by the merger of SpaceX and xAI (valued at $1.25 trillion), his personal net worth surpassed $850 billion in February 2026. What does this mean?

It means he’s still the richest person, even after halving his wealth.

4. Regarding technology development, DeepSeek is now focused and calm. How would R1-style reasoning technology fare in any company? Would it open source? Currently, the entire internet is urging for V4, but DeepSeek remains unmoved.

Many billion-dollar assets-rich individuals or those with deep financial insight claim they are not interested in money. Most netizens see this as humblebrag—like a hungry man not knowing hunger. Think about it: if you have dozens of billions, and you’re burning money daily at a rate that outpaces your earnings, you can imagine the situation.

There are probably many such people. The point is, many wealthy individuals have reached this level, but what do they do? Can they, like Musk, risk all their assets on rocket technology? What if Tesla becomes a robot company? Maybe in a few years, Musk’s companies will be in space.

Furthermore, how many wealthy people are still working overtime to the point of death? Humanity loudly advocates for health, but are programmers still risking their health for survival?

Human productivity has increased a million times—what’s the point if people are just fighting for their lives? Most ordinary people just want to live healthily.

Of course, more people in China aspire to be like Musk. Many big bosses have grand ambitions and are proud of their achievements. Like many small companies claiming to serve humanity. But can they truly lead people toward a lighter, healthier life?

Can they give 50% of their profits to employees? Can they leave work on time?

Can they stop slashing hundreds of billions in subsidies, ultimately just exploiting ordinary consumers?

Can they make life easier and happier for ordinary people?

Can they learn from the value orientation of Pang Donglai? Without high technology, just running a supermarket.
