On March 27th, it was revealed by netizens that Thunderbolt Company would offer exclusive benefits to employees purchasing Xiaomi cars, as shown in a promotional poster.
Thunderbolt Company stated: In support of the national clean energy development policy, the company vigorously encourages the purchase of Xiaomi cars, which boast luxurious electric vehicle features at an extremely affordable price. We are pleased to introduce the following policies:
The top ten purchasers will have a chance to win a free ride through a random draw; the first thirty purchasers will enjoy a 10% subsidy, and so forth.
On March 26th, the poster information was withdrawn by Thunder Company, but Thunder stated that it did not cancel the car purchase benefits, but rather adjusted the welfare policy after the launch of Xiaomi SU7 on March 28th.
In fact, Thunder's support for Xiaomi Motors this time is not only to promote domestic brands but also closely related to the deep relationship between Thunder Company, Lei Jun, and Xiaomi Group.
As early as 2014, Xiaomi Group led the Series E financing of Thunder with 200 million US dollars, and two months later, Thunder successfully listed on the US stock market.
In 2017, Xiaomi co-founder Wang Chuan became the chairman of Thunder, and to this day, Xiaomi Group remains a major shareholder of Thunder.
