Ren Zhengfei's heart is broken!Bad news in the United States, the HarmonyOS system or a complete collapse?
I think many people still remember that in May 2019, the United States suddenly added Huawei to the so-called entity list, and tirelessly declared a national emergency in the United States, which was hailed as the beginning of the United States' crackdown on Huawei, but in fact, before that, the United States had already begun to act on Huawei's sanctions.
For example, as early as 2017, the United States seized Huawei's 5G base station for two years, and eventually coveted Huawei's 5G technology. In 2018, Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer, was held in custody by the United States for three years, apparently wanting to repeat the 2013 scenario of Alstom in France.
Subsequently, in 2019, a wide range of sanctions against Huawei came one after another, and in terms of software, Google no longer provided GMS authorization, resulting in the loss of software ecology for Huawei smartphones abroadIn terms of hardware, it is forbidden for American companies to give Huawei chips, and in the future, Huawei 4G chips may be allowed in smartphonesIn terms of services, TSMC is prohibited from producing chips for Huawei.
I have to say that this set of combination punches is still a big blow to Huawei's smartphone business, and later in 2020, Huawei sold Glory as a whole, but it did not give up the smartphone business, after all, Qualcomm can also **4G chip, and Huawei's Redmi system has been popularized to 20, in terms of experience, it is already comparable to Apple's iOS system.
Especially with the Red Devils 30 successive efforts, as well as Huawei's leading position in folding screen mobile phones, Huawei's mobile phone business seems to have seen spring again, according to ** report, the Red Devil system has even become the world's third largest mobile phone operating system, it can be seen that Huawei's mobile phone shipments are still considerable, I have to say, the Red Devil system has made up for the lack of 4G chips, and has played a key role.
But now, according to foreign ** reports, the United States is considering further expanding restrictions on Huawei, which will include 4G chips, WiFi chips, AI chips, high-performance chips, etc. According to reports, a former White House** said: cut off 4G sales, trying to stop them.
At present, Huawei's smartphones and tablets widely use the HarmonyOS system, and Huawei's foldable screen smartphones have a market share of 47 in China in 20224%, occupying the first place in the market, which shows that Huawei in the high-end smartphone market, with the excellent performance of the HarmonyOS system, although it is still a 4G chip, it still wins the favor of the market.
But if even 4G chips are not available, Huawei's smartphones and other products will undoubtedly enter again"Inventory patterns"Once the 4G chip is exhausted, the HarmonyOS system will be in the same position as the chip"Zero"State. Even some time ago, ** once again reported that Huawei was considering spinning off its consumer business or reducing its investment in mobile phone R&D, but according to Huawei insiders, a large-scale spin-off of the terminal business is unlikely.
However, Huawei is not without cards to play, first of all, it can also continue to accumulate chips, now the smartphone market is not sluggish, and Huawei's consumption of high-end smartphone chips is not particularly large, so short-term accumulation, it is not too difficult to ensure that there are chips available in two or three years.
And Huawei also has its own trump card, that is, 5G patents, Ren Zhengfei previously said that many American companies have used our patents, but have not yet paid fees, and now we have time to start collecting some fees, and this is the beginning, that is, to ask Verizon in the United States for $1 billion.
In addition, it seems that the United States is aggressive, but in fact, the United States itself is exhausted. Some time ago, the American think tank said that Biden's strategy has harmed the interests of American technology companies, which have reduced R&D investment and laid off a large number of employees, according to reports, in just one month, American companies have laid off more than 100,000 people, and even some American think tanks bluntly said that the United States is beautifying the global ** chain.
Therefore, the United States itself has to weigh and weigh, and this is also the last letter from the United States, on the contrary, Huawei has long said: do not maintain all hope for the outside world. Ren Zhengfei even said: You can't live without a Huawei mobile phone. However, coincidentally, at this time, Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft Corporation in the United States, said: the United States can never prevent China from having powerful chips. Do you agree with this point of view?If you agree, click on it"Great"。
