(Reuters) – Xiaomi, China’s largest smartphone company, will begin selling headphones, smart wristbands and other accessories online in the United States in coming months, taking its first tentative step onto Apple’s home turf without its signature Mi mobile devices. 路透社 – 未来几个月内,中国最大的智能手机企业小米将开始通过网店在美国销售耳机、智能腕带和其他配件。这是小米进入苹果公司(Apple)大本营的初步尝试,其中不包括小米标志性的移动设备。 The company also said it is close to securing a manufacturing partner in Brazil, which will help it skirt punishing tariffs on imported electronics when it begins sales in Latin America’s largest economy in the first half of this year. 小米还表示,即将和一家巴西制造企业结为合作伙伴。今年上半年小米的产品将在巴西这个拉美最大的经济体亮相,而制造合作伙伴将有助于小米绕开巴西政府对进口电子产品征收的惩罚性关税。 Xiaomi, a five-year-old upstart whose name means “Little Rice,” came out of nowhere to become China’s fastest-selling mobile brand. It has been rapidly expanding its global footprint through direct, online sales. 作为一家有五年历史的行业新贵,小米在一夜之间就成了中国销售增长最快的手机品牌。同时,该公司一直在通过直销和网络渠道迅速进行国际扩张。 |
