September 15, 2020, this is a day worthy of being recorded in the history of the Chinese science and technology community, and it is also a day when the technology community feels humiliated. It was on this day that the new ban on Huawei from the United States officially came into effect. Five chip suppliers including TSMC , Qualcomm , Samsung , SK Hynix and Micron , including , TSMC , , officially stopped supplying Huawei.
overnight, a ban directly brought Huawei's mobile phone business into the dark era.
After September 15, many analysts pointed out that Huawei may completely give up its mobile phone business, because chips can be said to be the most important life gate for mobile phones. Without it, mobile phones can only become a brick. But what is unexpected is that Huawei directly "cut off its arm" and quickly stripped the sub-brand Honor from the Huawei system, and then gradually reduced the supply of existing mobile phones, allowing Huawei mobile phones to circulate in the market with a weak supply.
But this does not completely solve the problem of Huawei mobile phones. Without chips, there is no way to develop new mobile phones. Even though Huawei released the new generation of flagship mobile phone P50 series at the end of July this year, it lacks the key configuration of 5G. In the 5G era, mobile phones do not have 5G. Such mobile phones are extremely lacking in the market.
When Yu Chengdong announced at the press conference that Huawei P50 series can only be equipped with 4G networks, many people felt sad when they saw this scene, and were worried that this domestic mobile phone brand that has existed for more than ten years would fall into the Nokia and others. At the same time, they were also sighing that without this paper ban, would Huawei achieve what Yu Chengdong said this year's goal of the world's number one mobile phone brand.
Now Huawei mobile phone sales have completely dropped from the previous top three, but a decline in sales does not mean that the brand will gradually disappear.
12 months after the chip was cut off, that is, on August 17 this year, Huawei finally announced its decision: Huawei will not give up its mobile phone business.
This decision comes from the "Minutes of the Discussion between Huawei's Rotary Chairman Guo Ping and New Employees" disclosed by Huawei Xinsheng Community on the evening of August 17. In this minutes, Huawei's Chairman Guo Ping clearly stated that Huawei has no problem in survival, consumer business can survive, and Huawei's mobile phone business will not give up. At the same time, Guo Ping also emphasized here again that Huawei's business will not build cars, but will only help car manufacturers build good cars.
But in the absence of chips, what confidence does Huawei rely on to believe that the mobile phone business can survive? The answer is given in this minutes.
Guo Ping pointed out that in response to the problem of technology boredom, Huawei will strengthen R&D and strengthen investment, and at the same time build itself and help partners in the industrial chain solve the problems of supply continuity and competitiveness.
At the same time, Guo Ping also revealed that Huawei can design chips, but no one can help Huawei manufacture them. Huawei is already working on this problem with its partners in the industrial chain.
According to the current online news, Huawei has been making continuous moves in the domestic semiconductor industry over the past two years. Hubble Investment is a company under Huawei that specializes in investing in the semiconductor industry. In more than two years of its establishment, Hubble Investment has invested in nearly 40 domestic semiconductor companies, covering the entire chip industry chain. According to time calculation, Hubble Investment basically has to invest one or two companies every month.
, and according to industrial and commercial information, Hubble Investment also invested in Chongqing Liyituo Software Co., Ltd. this month. The company's main business is industrial simulation software, while Hubble Investment became the third largest shareholder of the company with a 15% shareholding.
When the domestic core-making capacity is enhanced, it will be the day when Huawei mobile phone king returns.
