北漂9年的雷布斯终于在世界500强公司上班啦丨说英闻

7月22日，美国《财富》杂志发布2019年世界500强排行榜，小米集团首次登榜，排名468位。

同时小米在上榜的“互联网服务与零售”分类中排名第7。

Xiaomi also ranks 7th in the Internet Services and Retailing category.

公开信息显示，京东、阿里巴巴、腾讯和华为进入财富世界500强，分别耗时18年、18年、14年和23年。而小米只用了9年，并且一下子成为有史以来最年轻的世界500强企业。

22日当天雷军发布微博称难掩激动。

晚上雷军又随即发了一封内部邮件表示对员工及其家人的感谢，并决定赠送每位员工1000股小米集团股票。

1000股中，500 股是为了庆祝小米成为全球 500 强企业，另外 500 股，是小米给每位员工和伙伴的家人的纪念品。

Out of 1,000 shares of Xiaomi stocks, 500 shares serve to celebrate the Global 500 achievement and the remaining 500 are gifted to the family and loved ones of each co-worker and partner.

按当日8.95港元的股价计算，这1000股价值8950港币，折合人民币7891元。

这次赠送将覆盖小米所有在职的员工和核心外包服务团队的伙伴共计 20538 人，授出股票总计价值约 1.62 亿元。

雷军表示：

小米只用了9年就跻身世界500强之列是个了不起的成就，我们要感谢所有的“米粉”和用户，感谢他们一如既往的支持。

It took Xiaomi only nine years to make the Fortune Global 500 list, a milestone that we owe a big thank you to all our Mi Fans and users for their unwavering support.

说到小米创始人雷军，在2015年印度小米发布会上他的一句“Are you OK?”被网友恶搞成鬼畜视频而在网络大火。

雷军的“蹩脚英文”当时还引起了全球媒体的关注。

Are you OK? 也已成为历年来小米与粉丝之间互动常常会用到的一个桥段。

2019年，在这位“Are you OK? ”代言人的领导下，小米已从一家只有13个人的小公司变成世界500强企业，确实值得钦佩。

South China Morning Post:

Chinese phone maker Xiaomi Corp has given each of its employees 1,000 free shares in the company, worth a total of HK$187.5 million (US$24 million), to celebrate the company being included in the latest Fortune 500 global company list for the first time.

Just over 20,000 people were granted the stock award on July 19, when shares in the Hong Kong-listed company closed at HK$9.11, Xiaomi said in a statement to the city’s stock exchange late on Monday.

The Wall Street Journal:

Xiaomi Corp., a Chinese smartphone maker, doled out stock awards to its more than 20,000 employees to commemorate its first-time inclusion in the Fortune 500 list of the world’s largest companies by revenue.

The Beijing-headquartered company, which went public on Hong Kong’s stock exchange about a year ago, told employees they would each receive 1,000 shares as a token of its appreciation for becoming the youngest company to make the list.
