On January 9, Wang Teng, the former General Manager of Xiaomi's China Region Marketing Department and former General Manager of the REDMI brand, provided clarifications on recruitment concerns after announcing the establishment of his new company, "Jinri Yixiu" (Today is a good day for rest). Wang Teng stated that the company's initial focus is on building a product research and development team, with plans to gradually establish marketing, sales, service, and finance teams after the Spring Festival.
Addressing the question of why the company is not currently hiring new graduates, he explained, "In the early stages, a startup team has a greater need for individuals with work experience who can contribute immediately; we will welcome fresh graduates to join after the business has developed further." Wang Teng had previously introduced that the new company will primarily develop products related to sleep health.
He chose this direction primarily because sleep quality has become a significant health concern for many people. Using himself as an example, he mentioned that the high intensity and pressure of work in recent years meant that poor sleep one night would lead to extreme fatigue the next day, a feeling that was particularly acute after leaving Xiaomi. Through conversations with many friends, he found that pressures from life and work commonly lead to poor sleep quality and low energy levels.
According to Wang Teng, the core members of the new company possess extensive experience in both software and hardware product development. The company is currently recruiting for several positions, including Software/Hardware Product Managers, Health/AI Algorithm Engineers, Sleep Health Experts specializing in brain science, and ID&CMF Designers focused on smart wearables and home products.
Initially, the company prefers to hire individuals with some work experience. The workplace is located in Beijing, with future plans to establish branches in Hangzhou and Shenzhen. Public information shows that Wang Teng joined Xiaomi in 2016 at the age of 29. In March 2020, he joined the REDMI product team as the REDMI Product Director.
In November 2021, Wang Teng rotated to a position at Xiaomi's Henan branch. In August 2023, he concluded his rotation and returned to Xiaomi's Beijing headquarters; in September, he was appointed as the REDMI Brand Spokesperson and General Manager of the REDMI Marketing Department. On February 3, 2024, Wang Teng served as the General Manager of the REDMI brand and concurrently as the General Manager of Xiaomi's China Region Marketing Department.
