小米公司計劃與李嘉誠加強合作大綱

Xiaomi Inc., the startup that has rocked Chinese smartphone market, is looking to leverage the global footprint of Asias richest man, Li Ka-shing, and his telecommunications empire to further expand in overseas markets.
震動了中國智能手機市場的初創企業小米公司(Xiaomi Inc.)正打算利用亞洲首富李嘉誠的全球影響力以及他的電信帝國進一步拓展海外市場。

Xiaomi Global Vice President Hugo Barra, the former Google Inc. official who joined the Chinese company in October, said Xiaomi is looking at further collaboration with Li-controlled Hutchison Whampoa Ltd.'s telecom operations beyond Hong Kong, where it will launch the latest flagship smartphone Mi 3 with Li's mobile carrier 3 Hong Kong on Wednesday.
小米全球副總裁巴拉(Hugo Barra)說，小米計劃與李嘉誠控制的和記黃埔有限公司(Hutchison Whampoa Ltd., )旗下的電信業務在香港之外進一步合作。本週三，小米將在香港與李嘉誠的無線運營商3香港(3 Hong Kong)合作發佈最新旗艦智能手機小米3。巴拉曾擔任谷歌(Google Inc.)安卓業務副總裁，去年10月加入小米公司。

'We would love to partner with Hutch in other markets, for example, Indonesia and Vietnam where Xiaomi plans to roll out products in the coming months,' Barra said at a Tuesday event in Hong Kong. Xiaomi has been expanding into Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong as part of its plans to grow outside of mainland China, where its low-cost but advanced smartphones are gaining popularity.
巴拉週二在香港的一次活動上說，小米希望與和記黃埔在其他市場合作，比如印尼和越南市場，小米打算未來幾個月在這些市場推出自己的產品。小米已經在新加坡、臺灣和香港擴張，這是該公司在中國內地以外市場實現增長的努力之一。在中國內地，小米公司價格低廉但性能先進的智能手機越來越受歡迎。

Li is often referred to as 'Superman' in Hong Kong because of his business prowess and track record in spotting trends. His business empire, Hutchison Whampoa, stretches from telecommunications to ports and hotels. Hutchison has operations in 52 countries and employs about 270,000 people worldwide. His global telecommunications unit 3 Group serves about 76 million users in markets including Italy, the U.K., Indonesia, Vietnam and Hong Kong. His 3 Group carries Samsung smartphones globally, as well as iPhones from Apple.
在香港，李嘉誠以其商業影響力和對趨勢的準確把握而享有“超人”的美譽。他的商業帝國和記黃埔涵蓋了電信、碼頭和酒店等領域。和記黃埔在52個國家擁有業務，在全球有大約27萬名僱員。李嘉誠的全球電信部門3集團(3 Group)爲意大利、英國、印尼、越南和香港等國家和地區的7,600萬名用戶提供服務。3集團在全球範圍內銷售三星(Samsung)的智能手機，也銷售蘋果(Apple)的iPhone。

Li has also made a number of high-profile investments in technology companies in the past, most notably a $60 million stake in Facebook Inc. in 2007 through Horizons Ventures, his personal technology investment arm. The private investment arm has also invested in music streaming service provider Spotify Ltd., Tel Aviv-based social traffic and navigation company Waze and newsreader app Summly.

Beijing-based Xiaomi has successfully created a big buzz in China by selling high-end phones for prices close to cost. Its latest flagship e Mi 3 phone costs $330, less than half the price of top models from Apple and Samsung Electronics. The closely-held company is well-known in China for releasing its phones for sale online in limited batches.
