Among them, there are only two real entrepreneurs in China, Cao Dewang and Ren Zhengfei, and the others can only be regarded as capitalists. The two of them are similar in many ways, such as the fact that they attach great importance to the accumulation of technology, and their achievements in manufacturing are very high, which has brought unparalleled benefits to the country. Moreover, Ren Zhengfei and Cao Dewang started their businesses in 1987, step by step to achieve leading enterprises in their respective fields.
Today, Fuyao Glass occupies 65% of the domestic market, and has a market share of 25% in the global market, in other words, one in every four cars in the world uses Fuyao glass. Fuyao Glass's total revenue in 2020 is 19.91 billion yuan, and the proportion of foreign revenue has reached 45.12%, accounting for nearly half of the annual revenue. As a result, many people call Cao Dewang a conscientious company that makes foreign money, so he is a true Chinese entrepreneur. The same is true for Ren Zhengfei, who uses 5G technology to collect U.S. patent fees.
But the same money that makes Americans money, the two companies are treated very differently in the United States. Huawei was forcibly cut off by the United States and detained for no reason, but Fuyao was safe and sound and continued to make money in the United States. Why don't Americans engage in Cao Dewang, but must target Ren Zhengfei?
Cao Dewang solved the problem of U.S. employment
Cao Dewang established Fuyao Glass Co., Ltd. in 1987 and went public in 1993. He is the world's second largest supplier of automotive glass, and he is also known as the "Glass King". In 2014, it established factories in the United States and Russia. At that time, the United States moved its real estate to countries with abundant labor, such as China, and there were very few jobs left for working-class workers in the United States. As a result, companies that can bring jobs to the United States are very popular.
Cao Dewang was precisely aware of this, so he announced that he would go to the United States to build a factory. As soon as this news came out, it was questioned by many people: Our own employment has not yet been solved, and we want to fly to the United States? Is it to run? Later, Cao Dewang said in an interview that in addition to low labor costs in China, other costs are higher than those in the United States. Speaking of land, investing 1 million yuan in the United States can earn back 600,000 yuan, while in China it only makes more than 400,000 yuan; the gasoline and power supply in the United States are only half of the domestic gasoline and electricity supply. Therefore, after many considerations, it was decided to build a factory in the United States.
At this time, no one would have thought that going to the United States to build a factory would become a talisman for Fuyao to do business in the United States. Fuyao factory is built in Ohio, usa, where it is an old industrial base, the economy is backward, and there are a large number of unemployed people, building a factory here will surely attract many people to work. In 2017, Fuyao's U.S. factory was put into use, enrolling more than 2,400 American workers, which not only solved the problem of U.S. employment, but also promoted the development of local related industries. This is beneficial and harmless to the United States, and at this time the United States is still affected by the financial crisis, so the United States has no reason and will not suppress Fuyao Glass.
Huawei is different, Huawei has not built factories in the United States, nor has it solved the employment problem of Americans, and it has also sucked the wool of the United States and earned the patent fees of americans, which is a "white prostitute" behavior. Therefore, the United States does not like Huawei. As we all know, Huawei is a giant in the field of communications, but also the world's largest supplier of 5G equipment, which has shaken the hegemony of the United States, the United States can not suck a little "blood" in Ren Zhengfei, how can it be willing to let Huawei eat a bite of its own cake?
To this end, since September 2019, the United States has included Huawei in the "entity list", followed by a series of "jumping beam clowns" such as banning Huawei's 5G equipment, cutting off the supply of chips to Huawei, and dismantling 5G equipment, resulting in a major impact on Huawei's communication equipment business and mobile phone business.
In addition, although Fuyao Glass has a high market share in the world, it is not the top enterprise in this industry, and the technical content is not the highest, to put it bluntly, Fuyao Glass is not irreplaceable. Huawei's technology content is much higher, not only formulated 5G standards, but also successfully broke the US monopoly of science and technology, allowing a Chinese company to seize its control and voice. If it is not obtained, it will be destroyed, so the United States, which feels threatened, will suppress Huawei at any cost.
Cao Dewang is not easy to mess with
In fact, there have also been counterattacks against US sanctions, such as levying 5G patent fees on the United States, filing lawsuits, etc., but now it seems that the counterattack is not effective. In fact, Fuyao has also suffered from Huawei, and has also been tried by the United States to suppress it. At that time, the United States convicted Fuyao on dumping charges, and Cao Dewang was not willing to be suppressed, so at the cost of 100 million US dollars, he fought a lawsuit with the US Department of Commerce for three years. In the end, Cao Dewang won the lawsuit, and Fuyao became the first Chinese company to win the anti-dumping case of the US Department of Commerce.
Cao Dewang, who dared to "face the front", let the United States also see his hardness, which also made the United States dare not act rashly against Fuyao later. At the same time, Cao Dewang also refused the US green card, which deserves the admiration of the whole world. In addition, Cao Dewang also understands the rules of the Game for Americans very well, so that they cannot pick out thorns. At that time, workers in Fuyao's American factories complained about long hours and low wages, only $14 an hour, similar to working at McDonald's, so they wanted to form a union and fight for benefits.
But at that time, the factory had just been established for half a year, and the company had already lost $40 million, where did the money come from to raise salaries. Therefore, with the help of professional "anti-union" companies, Cao Dewang used the "divisive strategy" to solve the trouble. Cao Dewang won the honor of using American rules to hire professionals and get American workers. As early as the United States proposed to increase tariffs, Cao Dewang said bluntly that it was a big deal not to sell glass.
In fact, Huawei also understands the rules of the game in the United States, but the rules of the United States are "tailor-made" for Huawei, using the monopoly of chip technology to accurately strike Huawei, which is clearly against Huawei. In the final analysis, it is because Huawei poses a threat to the interests of the United States, only earning American money and not giving back to the United States, the United States will ...
In such a harsh and unfair competitive environment, Huawei will still rank first in the world's communication equipment with a market share of 26% in 2021, surpassing communication equipment giants such as Ericsson and Nokia. At the same time, Huawei's investment in scientific research last year was still as high as 124 billion yuan, and it has also filed a lawsuit with the international side, demanding that the United States compensate 2.7-3.2 billion US dollars. Huawei was not beaten down, but rose against the wind and continued to move forward.
In fact, China has made great achievements in the development of science and technology in recent years, and the international popularity of Chinese enterprises has become higher and higher. We have not taken credit for ourselves and chosen the same extreme approach as the United States, but continue to improve the level of Chinese manufacturing, so that Chinese brands are truly irreplaceable, which is the most powerful counterattack against the "Americans".
