# Li Xiang: Currently, there is no popularity like Xiaomi, making it impossible to secure large orders directly

> Li Xiang, CEO of Li Auto, stated on Weibo that the Li Auto i8 has opened for small orders today. Most car companies in China have this small order phase. We currently do not have the popularity of Xiaomi, so we cannot skip small orders and go directly to large orders; we also cannot do it like Tesla, which has no small or large orders and does not hold press conferences, selling directly on the official website. Li Xiang expressed hope that through the joint efforts of all Li Auto colleagues, we can achieve: no small or large orders, no press conferences, and direct sales on the official website in the future

Li Xiang, CEO of Li Auto, posted on Weibo stating that the Li Auto i8 has opened for small orders today. The vast majority of car companies in China have this small order phase. We currently do not have the popularity of Xiaomi, so we cannot skip directly to large orders without small orders; nor can we do it like Tesla, which has no small or large orders and does not hold launch events, selling directly on the official website. Li Xiang expressed hope that through the joint efforts of all Li Auto employees, we can achieve: no small or large orders, no launch events, and direct sales on the official website in the future
