Xiaomi announced the underlying R&D investment, and the strange changes in the market are confusing
In recent years, China's science and technology has developed very rapidly, and Chinese companies represented by Huawei and SMIC have made breakthroughs one after another. For example, SMIC has mastered the 28nm chip manufacturing process, and the 14nm chip manufacturing process has also entered the mass production stage.
And Huawei is even more remarkable: in integrated circuit design, integrated circuit foundry, operating system and 5Substantial progress has been made in the application of 5G. Especially at the end of August, Huawei's Mate60Pro mobile phone was equipped with the Kirin 9000S chip independently developed and produced by Huawei, which made China's chip production technology reach the world's leading level and broke the monopoly of the West.
In this context, other domestic enterprises have also announced their own research plans, hoping to achieve technological breakthroughs and contribute to the development of the country.
Among these enterprises, Xiaomi should be the first to appear. Founded less than 15 years ago, the company has now become a Fortune 500 company, and its products sell well at home and abroad, and are recognized and appreciated by consumers all over the world.
Some time ago, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, announced that he plans to invest 100 billion yuan in the future to develop basic technologies. 100 billion yuan of research and development funds, which is not a small amount for any large company, Xiaomi is willing to invest 100 billion yuan in research and development, which fully reflects the importance of technology for Xiaomi.
It stands to reason that Xiaomi has such an awareness, and we should highly recognize and praise it, but a strange phenomenon still appears. On the Internet, a considerable number of Xiaomi insiders have invested 100 billion yuan in research and development, which is extremely ridiculous.
Some industry insiders said: Huawei's success, many domestic manufacturers feel that they can.
Some netizens think: Xiaomi is just talking.
More people in the industry questioned: when the chip was hot a few years ago, they also said exciting things, and then there was no follow-up.
It is not difficult to find that a considerable number of Xiaomi insiders spend 100 billion yuan on the research and development of underlying technology, but they are not good at words, which makes people feel very strange. People can't help but ask, it also spends a lot of money on research and development, why Huawei has been recognized by the majority of industry insiders, while Xiaomi has attracted so much criticism?In this regard, I think there are three points that can be explained.
First, many users have a misunderstanding of Xiaomi, believing that Xiaomi has no sincerity in research and development. Due to the relatively short establishment time of Xiaomi, many technologies and equipment rely on the best manufacturers, so Xiaomi's products give people one"Assemble the product"impressions. For a time, netizens' evaluation of Xiaomi was: assembly company, no core technology.
In this context, even though Xiaomi has made a number of technological breakthroughs, people's impression of Xiaomi is still stuck"There is no self-development"on the basis of. Therefore, when Xiaomi announced that it would invest 100 billion in R&D, some netizens did not believe it, and Xiaomi scoffed.
In fact, Xiaomi has achieved a number of patented technological breakthroughs in recent years, and the cumulative number of patented technologies has reached 290,000 pieces. In the field of 5G, Xiaomi's 5G patents rank 13th in the world and are well-known all over the world.
Second, Xiaomi had the ambition to build self-developed chips, but the reality is that Xiaomi's self-developed chips are slow. As early as 2017, Xiaomi launched the first surging S1 mobile phone chip. Xiaomi hopes that this chip can be recognized by users like Huawei's Kirin chip, but unfortunately, the performance and power consumption of this chip are not satisfactory, and users complain about it.
Since then, the surging chip has been rumored to be the S2 version, but this chip has not appeared, so Xiaomi fans are quite dissatisfied. Some time ago, Xiaomi still uses Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, and the independent chip process is still very slow, which makes many users doubt Xiaomi's R&D capabilities.
Based on"Xiaomi core"In the end, many people don't believe that Xiaomi invested 100 billion in research and development, which is understandable.
Finally, many netizens like to compare Xiaomi with Huawei, because, in such a comparison, Xiaomi seems to be overshadowed a lot. In the Chinese market, Xiaomi and Huawei are both friends and competitors, so many netizens like to compare Xiaomi and Huawei. In the comparison, these users believe that Xiaomi is far inferior to Huawei in terms of R&D investment and R&D results. Therefore, these users consider Xiaomi to be unreliable when it comes to R&D.
If you compare Xiaomi and Huawei, Xiaomi is actually far inferior to Huawei. Huawei's annual R&D investment exceeds 130 billion yuan, ranking first in China.
1. Top five in the world. Xiaomi plans to invest 100 billion yuan in five years, which is not as much as Huawei's annual R&D expenditure. In this way, Xiaomi does not seem to be able to compare with Huawei.
Actually, this comparison is not objective, why do you say that?Because if you compare any domestic company with Huawei, you will find that these companies are far inferior to Huawei in terms of R&D investment.
What's more, Xiaomi's 5-year R&D expenditure is 100 billion yuan, except for Huawei, no domestic company can surpass a few Xiaomi companies.
Xiaomi has only been established for 13 years, and in these 13 years, Xiaomi mobile phones have become the third largest company in the world, and have entered the world's top 500 companies at the fastest speed, with very significant results. So we can't be too harsh on Xiaomi, Huawei's R&D standards are imposed on Xiaomi.
National enterprises need our tolerance and support, rather than praising and deprecating the other. Only in this way will our national enterprises have a good operating environment and their development will be even stronger.
