History is always strikingly similar, about a decade ago, because the open source of the Android system made smartphones enter a new era. Domestic brands such as Meizu, Xiaomi, etc. have taken this opportunity to become the leader of domestic mobile phones. In recent years, also because of the development of the new energy vehicle industry chain, the difficulty of car manufacturing has been greatly reduced, and many companies have also taken this opportunity to join the car industry chain or car manufacturing army.
Although Boss Jia had already dragged down LeEco because of the car-making plan earlier, he was still making plans to return to China next week. However, there are also domestic pioneers such as Xiaopeng, Weilai, and Ideal that prove the possibility of new forces building cars. Therefore, Xiaomi and other companies have also officially announced their entry into the car industry, and Huawei has recently released the M5, which is fully involved in the development.
Huawei is so deeply involved in the ranks of car manufacturing, perhaps the most pressured is not Xiaomi, but Li Yinan, who was once known as Huawei's "prince". After all, just over half a month ago, he invited the media to visit the production base of its new company Niu Innovative Energy, and it is reported that its brand name is "NIUTRON" in English, and the Chinese is called "Self-Touring Home", and said that it will be mass-produced and delivered in September next year.
Huawei's youngest vice president, internal entrepreneurship but betrayed Huawei
Why huawei deep car manufacturing, the most pressure will be Li Yinan, which has to start from a relationship between him and Huawei. In addition to Ren Zhengfei, huawei today is most famous for Yu Chengdong, who is responsible for consumer business. Li Yinan joined Huawei in the same year as Yu Chengdong. After joining Huawei, in just 4 years, the 27-year-old Li Yinan became huawei's youngest vice president at that time and so far.
Perhaps because of the "seven-year itch", in 2000, Li Yinan, who was considered huawei's "prince" at the time, left Huawei, took 10 million worth of equipment to start his own business, and established a harbor network. At that time, there were two articles published in a section of Huawei's management optimization newspaper, one was "Ren Zong's Speech at the Farewell Li Yinan's Internal Entrepreneurship Forum" and the other was the "Personal Statement on Internal Entrepreneurship" signed by Li Yinan.
In Li Yinan's personal statement, he clearly stated that he would develop without conflict with Huawei and make up for Huawei's shortcomings in data communication. Later, the harbor network used means such as price reduction and digging up people to become Huawei's biggest opponent in China. In the end, after many wars, Huawei acquired the harbor network, and Li Yinan returned to Huawei as a result, still serving as vice president.
In less than three years, he traveled to three places and was imprisoned for 7.44 million yuan
The two years after returning to Huawei may be the most uncomfortable time for Li Yinan, because when he left, he declared that he was not competing with Huawei's internal entrepreneurship, but finally stabbed a knife in huawei's back, such a "betrayal" made people have a different view of the shining new star. So after two years, Li Yinan could only leave sadly.
After leaving Huawei, Li Yinan's career was not smooth sailing, and in less than three years, he joined China Mobile's Infinity Xunqi and has since become a partner at GSR Ventures. In fact, no matter which job, it is impossible to hold back his ambition to start his own business, so in April 2005, Li Yinan had a new entrepreneurial project, that is, Maverick Electric, entering the electric motorcycle market.
However, less than two months after the official announcement of Xiaoniu Electric, Li Yinan was detained by the Shenzhen public security for insider trading and was eventually sentenced to two years and six months in prison. It is lamentable that the profit amount involved in Li Yinan's two insider trading transactions is only 7.44 million yuan. The first time Li Yinan entered Huawei, he has helped Huawei to complete a breakthrough of 20 billion yuan in sales, and the harbor network has been established for three years, and the annual sales have also exceeded 1 billion yuan.
After nearly three years of preparation, the veil was unveiled and Huawei competed on the same stage
The trial of the law gave Li Yinan a blow in the head, and even had to resign as the largest shareholder of Maverick Electric, but this did not stop his determination to start a business. At the end of 2018, there was news that Li Yinan had established a confidential team in Shanghai to develop car-making projects. Now Li Yinan unveiled this veil and confirmed the previous rumors.
Although Niu Chuangxin Energy is a little later than other car companies in terms of time, Li Yinan himself said that he is not in a hurry, because it is useless to be anxious. However, although many media were invited to visit, Li Yinan did not disclose the specific capital plan, supply chain, or charging system that users care about most. The only thing that is known is that its first model will be defined as a range extender or a pure electric SUV.
I have to say that Li Yinan's career and entrepreneurial experience, in the matter of car building, seems to be much more reliable than Boss Jia or Boss Xu. What is more expected is that in the face of the old owner and the old rival Huawei, can Li Yinan's Niu Innovative Energy form a direct confrontation with it? Or can it be better? Let's wait and see!
