A story that is unbelievable, but which is true. We started talking about this after the Indian Sudhanshu Ambhore, a well-known tech whistleblower, raised the issue. He, like many others, have received letters from Xiaomi which intimated not to exhibit anymore information of a certain type about new products. Otherwise, the penalty would have been a fine. Good, Xiaomi MIX 4, the last to leave the house, he "yielded" one fine of 1 million yuan! Let's go see the details.
If you thought that the leakers had an easy life, you are wrong: all the information revealed on Xiaomi MIX 4 cost a good 130.000 € to the respondent
Xiaomi MIX 4 has made a fine of 1 million yuan "mature". The manager of the company, who was supposed to supervise and who responds to the name of 科技 九洲 君, he paid the price. If on the one hand the information revealed by the Chinese leakers has bounced around the entire network, on the other Xiaomi has decided to take measures. This is why a beautiful order for payment of 1 million yuan was received by the person responsible. Translated, well 130.000 €, the cost of an apartment. The absurd thing however is that it is not the leakers who pay.
Below is the translation of the letter:
Information about MIX 4 leaked early due to our work errors. We are keenly aware of the gravity of the mistakes made. So we sincerely apologize to Xiaomi, Mr. Lei Jun and Xiaomi fans.
As team manager @ 科技 九洲 君, Zhang Menglong has an inescapable responsibility in this regard. Although I actively communicated, remedied and cooperated with the Xiaomi brand investigation after the incident, I am very sorry that these actions and cannot make up for Xiaomi's losses. For the great losses and serious negative effects caused to the brand, I once again solemnly apologize to the brand.
I will take on the responsibilities I have to take on and optimize the team's workflow by promoting the following values: cultivate team confidentiality awareness, encrypt the handling of confidential documents, and standardize team information transmission methods to prevent these incidents from happening. repeat.
In short, a very curious matter that has cost the managers dearly. As far as we know, the brand is very keen to keep news leaks at bay, also here in Italy. In fact, it is not easy to put your hand on hot material if it is not about certifications (which are public material).
