2026年1月6日深夜，小米公司发言人官方微博一则通报炸翻科技圈，用最硬核的处罚姿态回应了持续发 酵的KOL合作争议。通报明确：涉事经办人员因严重违规被直接辞退，集团副总裁兼CMO许斐、公关 部总经理徐洁云因管理失职，双双被通报批评，扣除2025年相关绩效成绩，取消全年奖金。短短百余字 的处罚决定，背后是米粉滔天的怒火，更是小米对核心用户群体的紧急"止血"。 这场震动行业的舆情风暴，源头要追溯到1月5日下午的一则网传消息。有网友曝光小米团队正与知名 KOL"万能的大熊"（本名宗宁）洽谈商业合作，甚至传出双方已达成年度框架合作的说法。消息一出， 瞬间点燃米粉群体的抵制情绪——在米粉圈，"万能的大熊"早已是公认的"反米先锋"，不仅长期公开贬 低小米产品战略，更曾放出"小米不会死，死的是米粉"这种诛心言论，此前还因编造企业对立谣言被法 院判决道歉并赔偿16万余元。 让米粉彻底破防的，是一张流传的群聊截图。截图中，"万能的大熊"轻描淡写地炫耀"很简单，因为小 米投了我呀"，语气里的挑衅彻底刺痛了核心用户。 大量米粉涌入雷军、徐洁云等高管的微博评论区，有人晒出从小米1代到最新机型的收藏清单，直言"多 年支持的底气被这波 ...
