Huawei can reach the top of the world step by step, which is related to the continuous high research and development. In order to maintain competitiveness and continue to firmly hold the top spot in communication suppliers, Huawei did not give up on investing in R&D even in the most difficult times. Not only did we not reduce R&D investment, but as time goes by, more and more.
Recently, Huawei released its financial reports for the first three quarters of this year. Data shows that Huawei's revenue remains stable and has not plummeted directly like when cuts off . Another exposed R&D data makes us feel even more gratified that Huawei is indeed sticking to the bottom line.
exceeds 110 billion R&D expenses, setting a record
Huawei's rotating chairman Xu Zhijun said that Huawei's revenue in the first three quarters was in line with expectations, operator business maintained stable growth, and terminal business continued to decline. Judging from the data, Huawei's total revenue in the first three quarters was 441.1 billion yuan, which is almost the same level compared to 2021.
It is worth noting that Huawei's R&D investment in the first three quarters was 110.5 billion yuan, breaking the 110 billion mark, exceeding 1/4 of the total revenue. In 2021, Huawei's R&D investment for the whole year was 142.7 billion yuan, accounting for 22.4% of the total revenue. By comparing it, we can see that Huawei's R&D investment proportion has increased again this year, and it is likely to break the record again by the end of the year.
Currently Huawei is still in a state of business with a not optimistic situation. In the words of Ren Zhengfei , it means "to pass the cold air to everyone." Not long ago, the United States once again increased restrictions and strictly prohibited Huawei equipment from flowing into the US market, which shows that it is still regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.
Under internal and external troubles, it is rare for Huawei to choose to increase investment in R&D. This is also considered to be hiding one's strength and keeping one's low profile, and to accumulate strength and return strongly in the future.
Problems facing Huawei
Continuously increasing investment in R&D, which also indirectly proves that the difficulties facing Huawei have not disappeared, and we must rely on continuous investment and R&D to maintain our competitiveness.
The most important smartphone business in the terminal business, Huawei did not give up on supply cuts. Even if it only has 4G, it still has to bite the bullet, and the recently launched 4G smart flagship model Mate 50 has achieved a big sale. It can be seen that Huawei's brand influence has not disappeared, which is thanks to Huawei's insistence on research and development. Without 5G chips, it found new growth points such as Kunlun Glass and satellite communications. In the
operator business, Huawei is not only the world's first in 5G, but also the world's first in the number of patent applications for 6G. Being able to get rid of friendly competitors in the field of communications and maintain its advantages is also inseparable from Huawei's continuous R&D investment and has always maintained strong competitiveness.
In addition to the above, Huawei's layout in new energy vehicle , cloud data and other fields also needs to continuously spend money to support R&D. Otherwise, with the competitive strength of these high-tech fields, even Huawei may be eliminated soon. In addition, foreign companies are also increasing their investment, which has forced Huawei to further invert.
In short, Huawei's business is broad and mainly based on technology, industry and trade, so R&D is the key. The more difficult the time is, the less it cannot reduce R&D investment.
From here we can also find that there is too shortage of enterprises like Huawei that firmly follow the technical and industrial route, and most of them learn the trade and industrial routes like Lenovo . In the short term, there is no difference between these two models. In the long term, the hidden dangers brought by the trade and industrial and technological route will be very fatal.
So, we need more companies like Huawei and more entrepreneurs like Ren Zhengfei.
