No model has ever received more attention in China than the Xiaomi SU7, which was launched(上市) on Thursday night in Beijing.

It may sound unbelievable but the launch event attracted more than 40 million views on Xiaomi Auto's Weibo alone. Even guessing its price level had been a popular topic on China's social media platforms for weeks.

Xiaomi, one of the world's leading smartphone companies, began accepting orders in China through an app on Thursday night, after founder Lei Jun finished a more than two-hour presentation(发布会) on the SU7 car by stating the much-awaited price range: 215,900 yuan to 299,900 yuan.

Xiaomi said that it received 50,000 orders for the SU7 in the first 27 minutes after sales opened at 10 p.m. Beijing time. Lei mentioned that Beijing-based Xiaomi aims to become one of the world's top five car makers in the next 15 to 20 years. "It's hard to make a car, but it's cool to succeed," he said.

Lei said Xiaomi would lose money on the basic model at 215,900 yuan, a price that is lower than the Tesla(特斯拉) Model 3 in China. In his opinion, the SU7 car did better than the Tesla in most areas, but the type of the SU7 is not as good as the Porsche(保时捷) Taycan.

"There is still a long way to go for our cars to become a Porsche," he said, but if Xiaomi keeps working hard for another five to ten years. "One day we will finally catch up with and even surpass Porsche."

Last year,61 companies in the Uk took part in the world's largest test of a four- day work week. The results were so positive that 92% of the companies were planning to keep the new schedule.

In much of the world, a five- day work week, usually from Monday to Friday is common. But in some places, people are trying out the idea of paying workers the same amount for working just four days a week.

The idea isn't new, but businesses have been slow to try it. They may be worried that they would get less work for their money, or that it could cause other problems. But the results of last year's experiment suggested the move might be good for both businesses and workers.

Last June,61 UK companies agreed to try giving their workers a four- day work week. In return, they asked their workers to try to do as much in four days as they usually did in five days.

Many different kinds of businesses took part, including online stores, computer technology companies, advertising companies, and even a fish restaurant. Some companies were small, while others had around 1,000 workers.

The companies found different ways of giving workers one more day off. Most companies simply gave workers Fridays off. Others chose Mondays, or had different workers take different days off. The experiment ran for six months, and turned out to be good for most businesses.

The number of days when workers were out sick dropped by 65%. On average,57% fewer people quit their jobs during the four- day work week trial. What's more, the companies made more money- about 1.4% on average.

How did workers do more in less time? Some companies cut meetings, or made sure they were shorter. Others used technology to help workers get more work done quickly . Some companies created a " focus time" so workers could work on just one thing without being disturbed.

In general, workers said the four- day work week made them feel less tired. About 71% said they felt less " burnt out" with their new work hours, and 39% said they felt less stressed. Most of the workers were more satisfied with the time they spent working.
