Huawei After three years of pain, it was only after waking up from a nightmare.
For a multinational company like Huawei, we stand from the perspective of bystanders. When we look back, we will feel that three years are just a moment, and it seems that sanctions are no big deal. But as the person involved, Huawei must have felt that these three years have been too long, and the pain and struggle of the past seem to be just a fantasy.
Bystanders will never truly experience the immersive mood and feelings. For Huawei, what is the experience of surviving in a continuously blocked environment? Perhaps only Huawei people can explain it clearly.
Yu Chengdong : The most difficult moment, surviving is victory
As Huawei's most frequent appearance in public and one of the most core executives, Yu Chengdong must have a lot of feelings about Huawei's difficult moments in the past. Recently, in an interview with blogger Wu Pei, Huawei Yu Dazui expressed his feelings about the past three years after Huawei was restricted by the United States.
He said this: This time the sanction may indeed be that I have experienced the most difficult period when I saw him in the past 30 years, but I have also withstood this difficulty. The extreme difficulties were not beaten to death, and they survived, which was a very big victory in itself.
As we all know, Yu Chengdong is a speaker who never stops talking. I am very proficient in marketing and speech, and I always like to brag. Even, many times, Yu Chengdong speaks too much, and is a little "arrogant" and causes a lot of dissatisfaction.
But this time, he did not brag about Huawei's pain period, but said that it would be a great success to overcome difficulties. What is highlighted behind this is the difficulties and hardships that we find difficult to understand.
Why did Yu Chengdong say that
Is there no place for success under the suppression of Huawei? Of course not. Among Huawei devices banned by the West, it was thought that Huawei's 5G market share would decline rapidly, losing to Nokia and Ericsson . But unexpectedly, after three years, Huawei still has the largest market share. What really causes internal damage to Huawei is the supply cutoff of chip foundry. This is almost the same as breaking the arms of Huawei's smartphone, allowing him to no longer make a heavy uppercut to give Apple a fatal blow.
Huawei lost the opportunity to win and lose with Apple. If you want to find such an opportunity again in the future, it will become out of reach. The most important thing now is how to regain market share.
This inevitably reminds people of what Yu Chengdong once said: If it weren't for the suppression, the major mobile phone manufacturers in the world might be Huawei and Apple, and the others are small manufacturers. Including the Korean company, it may be mainly in the US and South Korea markets, and the other markets are basically done.
This is a huge regret. And the more regretful it is, the more Huawei people will cherish the opportunity to make a comeback now. This is why Yu Chengdong feels that being able to get out of difficulties is a great victory. I believe many people in life will have this feeling.
On the other hand, for a company, this is also a rare and irresistible "special care". Yu Chengdong even called it the most difficult time he encountered in 30 years. It is so difficult that it is even more rare to get through. Therefore, it is reasonable to regard it as a great success.
We need more Huawei
can resist sanctions without falling. How many domestic companies are there like Huawei? There are certainly not many answers, but what we need now is more companies like Huawei.
In the future, competition will be more fierce. I hope that domestic companies can strengthen their own strength, focus more on products and services, and improve their self-developed innovation to cope with future crises.
