How did a Fortune 500 company succeed? Technology, opportunities, investments, etc. are important, but I think there is another key factor, and that is a soul who can guide the company. Such as Jobs to Apple, such as Ren Zhengfei to Huawei, such as Lei Jun to Xiaomi, this is the symbol of a successful enterprise.
Needless to say, Apple is still one of the world's largest technology companies, and its foundation is the foundation laid by Jobs, and it is unceremoniously said that Tim Cook is just executing Jobs's decisions. Huawei and Xiaomi are different, the soul of the two companies is still struggling in the front line, and we can also see more fighting spirit.
Huawei's success is obvious, the Mate series and P series are fully recognized in the high-end market, and the market share once far exceeded that of competitors such as Apple. Unfortunately, due to special reasons, Huawei's 5G flagship mobile phone has now become a "luxury", even if there is money, it may not be able to buy it, which is not suitable for us general consumers. In the face of the sighs of fans and netizens, Ren Zhengfei delivered a speech entitled "Spring in the North Country - Ren Zhengfei's Trip to Japan, Studying winter".
In his speech, Ren Zhengfei marveled at the struggle and craftsmanship of the Japanese people, praising them as a hard-working and well-crafted nation, and would collectively endure "through the cold winter" when encountering difficulties. Huawei should learn from the Japanese, constantly explore and correct the mistakes they have made, there will always be a way out, only Huawei's own employees can save Huawei, to create a better tomorrow, all rely on Huawei itself. Now Huawei is taking advantage of the winter to recuperate, strengthen internal transformation, and Japanese companies to survive the cold winter, I believe that Huawei's spring will also come.
We can feel great encouragement in the speech of The boss, encounter difficulties are not terrible, to use difficulties as a whetstone to hone a sharper self, now Huawei is only temporarily retired, I believe there will be a full outbreak of the day of the official return. However, Huawei can lie dormant in the cold winter, domestic brands should not allow brands such as Apple and Samsung to be dominant, and major manufacturers should strive to stand for Huawei, for domestic production, and for themselves to stand in our high-end market.
Among many domestic brands, it seems that Xiaomi is the best candidate to provoke such a heavy responsibility, for three main reasons. First of all, of course, the charm of Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun himself, every venture can create successful cases in the industry, and every step of action is practicing the slogan of "moving forward". The other two reasons are that one is willing to invest, and the other is that they are willing to share the "cake" with the supply chain.
First of all, in terms of investment, on the afternoon of January 8, Xiaomi held the first important meeting of the Year of the Tiger, lei Jun reiterated that the high-end strategy is the life and death battle of the group, which specially established a high-end strategy group under the traction of the "three-year mobile phone sales world first" strategy. Xiaomi not only wants to benchmark the iPhone, but also to comprehensively surpass Apple, planning to invest 100 billion research and development funds in 5 years, an average of 20 billion astronomical investment per year, and it is not ruled out that it will continue to increase in the future.
In terms of supply chain, Xiaomi has invested in 300 to 400 supply chain companies, becoming the only supply chain "expert" that can have global influence and industrial influence like Samsung. Different from Samsung is that Xiaomi is willing to cut the "cake" with partners, for example, the domestic screen giant Huaxing Optoelectronics has jointly established a research and development laboratory with it, and the remaining cooperation methods of the supply chain are also similar, and everyone grows together with a more equal attitude, rather than the master-servant relationship between superior and subordinate.
At present, Xiaomi's high-end strategy is very successful, xiaomi 12 series of major e-commerce platform sales are far ahead, is the best selling Snapdragon 8 model so far, becoming the best selling Android phone in the 4K price segment. The next step of Xiaomi's goal is Apple, hoping to reach the global sales champion in 2024, when Huawei should also be able to "usher in the spring", hoping that domestic brands will work together to achieve impressive results in the global market, believe in Huawei, believe that Xiaomi can succeed.
