Gree made mobile phones, which surprised us a lot, but in the end it failed to achieve large-scale sales, and its influence was also very limited.
Tesla makes mobile phones, but we are very much looking forward to it. In addition, Geely also wants to make mobile phones, Weilai also spread the news of making mobile phones, and BYD has been giving Huawei OEM mobile phones, and it is also a matter of minutes to make mobile phones.
The most confusing thing is Foxconn, a company that manufactures mobile phones, and also wants to build cars.
On the one hand, Apple and Xiaomi want to build cars, and on the other hand, Tesla, Geely, and Weilai want to do mobile phones, what is the logic behind it?
Mobile phones are typical products of information technology, automobiles are typical products of manufacturing, corresponding to the field of information technology and manufacturing respectively, the two fields penetrate each other, is the inevitable development of information technology.
Driving industrialization with informatization, promoting informatization with industrialization, relying on the deep integration of information technology and manufacturing, and promoting the intelligent transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry is the future direction.
We're seeing it companies enter the automotive industry, and automotive companies are also starting to enter the information technology space, reflecting this future trend. The actions of an enterprise should at least consider the next 3 to 10 years, so consumers cannot understand it, and it is normal.
The hidden logic behind this is that after the integration of the two modernizations, whether it is the focus of products or the focus of profits, informatization will be the focus of the future.
With the high penetration of information technology, cars will become individual products as part of the overall ecosystem of the Internet of Things. The purpose of making mobile phones while building cars is to prepare for the upcoming Internet of Things ecology.
In the IoT ecosystem, the mobile phone is the core and the car is a node of the IoT. This layout can't help but remind us of Huawei's 1+8+n strategy, in which the car appears as an ordinary node of the Internet of Things, and the mobile phone is positioned as the core node of the Internet of Things. To make a car maker's own mobile phone, it is to firmly grasp the control in his own hands.
At the same time, in the eyes of those mobile phone foundries, the car has long been regarded as a separate mechanical product, but a special information product terminal. Foxconn, as Apple's largest foundry, may be to prepare for the upgrade of cars to information terminals, on the one hand, to prove its manufacturing capabilities, on the other hand, to continue to do drills for Apple's foundry cars. In the eyes of ordinary consumers, this kind of drill is a big project, and it is not a big deal for a company with an output value of nearly 6 trillion yuan.
Tesla's logic of making mobile phones is still to make up for the ecological deficiencies, but other businesses based on Tesla's starlink, AI, brain-computer interface and so on, there are richer meanings.
Mobile phones, cars, the two hot spots began to meet, and how many new growth points will be generated, and how many novel applications will be deduced, it is still worth looking forward to.
