小米进军美国先卖耳机和腕带

The company was valued at $45 billion in a December funding round that drew investors ranging from Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund to a private capital firm backed by Alibaba Group co-founder Jack Ma.

在去年12月融资后，小米公司的价值达到了450亿美元。这次融资吸引的投资者既有新加坡主权财富基金，也有阿里巴巴的联合创始人马云所支持的私募公司。

Its Mi devices, which scored with Chinese users because of their low cost and the company’s heavy reliance on user interaction and feedback, are now sold online across Asia, including most recently India.

由于成本低，再加上小米非常倚重与用户的互动以及用户反馈，小米移动设备颇受中国消费者青睐。现在，小米的网店已经覆盖了整个亚洲，包括最近刚刚涉足的印度市场。

Brazil marks the company’s first foray with smartphones outside of its home continent. Global operations vice president Hugo Barra said Xiaomi intends to begin selling its phones there in the first half of this year.

巴西是小米智能手机在亚洲以外的第一站。该公司的全球业务副总裁雨果o巴拉表示，小米计划于今年上半年开始在巴西销售手机。

The company is in “extremely advanced discussions” with at least half a dozen manufacturing partners there, Barra, a former Google executive, said without revealing names, which will help it side-step a roughly 60 percent tax on foreign electronics.
