Because Japanese high-tech companies have given up most electronic terminals, there are almost no brand of mobile phones, household appliances and computers in the Japanese market. For example, NECh sold computer business to Lenovo , Toshiba acquired alliance to Bain Capital, sold white goods business to Midea, TV business to Hisense , Panasonic sold Sanyo TV business to Changhong, white goods business to Haier , and Sharp transferred to Taiwan Hon Hai Group as a whole. Sony gave up the computer industry.
For Japanese high-tech companies, white appliance is completely "garbage". After seeing this, don’t draw conclusions and don’t think that Japanese technology companies are useless. So, what did NEC do with Lenovo’s money? It began to research AI and made NEC a world-renowned AI company. Because it only sells in the computer industry, not the semiconductor technology and talents. To put it bluntly, the Huawei mobile phone industry is a "small rib" and was abandoned by the Japanese.
Several Japanese mobile phone companies have given up on the mobile phone industry. They believe that the traditional mobile phone industry will also become a burden for high-tech enterprises. At that time, Ren Zhengfei went to Japan and did not buy their production lines back like Midea and Hisense. They only hired more than 1,400 mobile phones and IT engineers. They opened 4 research institutes in Tokyo, Yokohama and Osaka . Because of this, Huawei mobile phones can develop so quickly.
So, how many Japanese accessories are used by Huawei phones? Nikkei once published an article analyzing Huawei's latest phones and found that only 0.9% of the parts are made in the United States, and are likely to be the chips of Qualcomm . China produces only 4.9% of the parts. So, how many parts are made in Japan? There are a total of 869 units, accounting for 53.2% of all Huawei mobile phone parts.
Huawei imported 730 billion yen (RMB 46 billion), accounting for more than 5% of China-Japan trade volume. By 2019, this figure will exceed 800 billion yen.
Japan is a country without "state-owned enterprises", so all its enterprises have no rules and regulations, so their "ambitions" are very great and they want to dominate the world. Because more than 30 years ago, Japan suffered the devastation of the US "trade war", it exerted the spirit of "ninjutsu", endured humiliation and burdened heavy burdens, and turned to the fields of new materials, artificial intelligence, medical care, biology, the Internet of Things, robots, high-tech hardware, etc.
In these fields, Japan is the real "overlord" behind the scenes, such as the "overlord" in the mobile phone industry. Apple phones are the product of "American creativity + Japanese technology". An American company once splitted Apple phones with a microscope. The results showed that more than half of the parts were provided from Japan. The cameras of Apple phones have always been its advantages, even surpassing Huawei's camera phones, and the high-end voice coil motor components are produced by Japanese companies such as Alpine Electric and Sanmei Motor. Without it, the camera on the Apple phone will not work properly.
And the global chip "overlord" - the United States Intel , of which 14 of the 19 necessities required to produce chips are from Japanese companies, and the technical barriers of these materials are extremely high. Among them, Japanese companies account for more than 50% of basic materials such as silicon wafer , photomask , photoresist , target , protective film, lead frame, ceramic board , plastic board , and 70% of semiconductor silicon material are provided by Japan's Shintsuki Chemical.
and the carbon fiber fuselage of the US Boeing 787 passenger aircraft, as well as super-strength steel, are provided by Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises, and products from other countries are simply impossible to produce. Last year, Japan suddenly used its killer weapon to South Korea, which has comparable technological strength, and its exports of controlled materials to South Korea increased from the original three to more than 1,100, which left South Korea, which is known as the third largest developed country in Asia, helpless, and the OLED and memory industries suffered a heavy blow.
Also, Huawei suffered a lot on the lithography machine card. Gigaphoton (a wholly owned subsidiary of Komatsu), a Japanese company that has a cooperative relationship with Dutch ASML, is also the core component of the lithography machine - excimer laser, and one of the two major manufacturers of Cymer (Cymer). However, my country's excimer laser technology still has a big gap compared with Japan. The lithography machine is harder to manufacture than the Mars rover because it concentrates the world's most advanced technology, and none of these parts are made in China. So some things cannot be looked at only on the surface or on the strength.
