Today I will talk to you: after five years of compromise, the United States finally withdrew its observers, and ZTE restored its "free body"!
Huawei's restrictions and independent innovation have awakened domestic technology companies and made them understand the meaning of the word "technology", not to sell electronic products, they can advertise themselves as "technology enterprises", not only to meet the listing conditions of the science and technology innovation board, but also to have a completely autonomous core technology that meets the needs of the process of the times, and Huawei is the best example.
Huawei's various encounters, but also a good interpretation of the difficulty of scientific research, not only need a lot of funds, a long time of persistence, but also face external technical blockades and restrictions, the so-called "real gold is not afraid of fire", the more in a difficult environment born of cutting-edge technology, the more can withstand the test of the market, Huawei 5G directly helped China to achieve a counter-over in the field of communications, which is the importance of core technology.
And there is such a company in China, Huawei took it as a learning object earlier, but also in addition to Huawei, it really takes "independent innovation" as a belief in the enterprise, and it is ZTE, which is also a communications company, which also has outstanding achievements in the field of 5G, but it cannot be better developed for a long time, because of a change in 5 years.
The price paid after compromise
Previously, the old United States was jealous of communications companies, but not only Huawei, five years ago ZTE has made a major breakthrough in the field, naturally very early on, the current number of 5G patents, the same than Ericsson and Nokia, you can see the strength of ZTE, but soon was named "violation of import and export regulations" title, the implementation of a series of supply cuts.
At the center of the development stage, it is simply impossible to withstand the blow of the supply of chips being interrupted, and it only lasted three months to "compromise", and then paid a heavy price in the next few years.
The first is to face a huge fine, the United States imposed the name of infringement, resulting in ZTE before and after the payment of a fine of 2 billion US dollars, and the profit of ZTE for the whole year was only 800 million US dollars, which also directly dragged down the development process of ZTE, the lack of circulating funds, resulting in a sharp decline in research and development funds, once let the company's operations into trouble.
Secondly, ZTE internal is installed observers, this observer in the enterprise unscrupulous, can view all the company's information, even the core technology and R & D personnel information, he can be consulted at any time, it can be said that the actual operation of ZTE in recent years is completely transparent, which also led to a lot of technology stagnation, more infuriating is that all the wages and benefits of observers must be paid by ZTE.
The last decision is also the most serious, after the compromise, ZTE was asked to replace all the senior management, even the board members asked for replacement, which also led to ZTE directly in the predicament, such a large price has not eased for a long time, which also has the news of the previous rumors of bankruptcy, perhaps Huawei just saw the situation of ZTE, and did not choose to compromise.
ZTE has finally survived
ZTE's experience, but also let all Chinese enterprises see the true face of the United States, especially under the insistence of Huawei, after there is no willing to compromise Chinese technology companies, after five years of struggle, according to the latest news, ZTE is finally successful to survive the head, is about to end such a "strange shame", the fate of China's science and technology field will also be completely rewritten.
According to the announcement released by ZTE on March 23, it can be determined that this farce has won the case, the five-year supervision period has officially ended, and without any additional penalties, this so-called observer has also been driven out of ZTE, which can be said to be a happy ending, but also makes people feel uneasy, if there is no victory in this case, the ten-year supervision period cannot end early, and ZTE will continue to be oppressed for up to five years.
Even if a company is strong, it is crept up for ten years, even if it once had cutting-edge technology that is leading the world, but ten years is an important node in the field of science and technology, and advanced technology cannot withstand such drag, and now ZTE has finally lifted the relevant restrictions, and can show its fists in the field of science and technology, in the field of 5G and Huawei, the future communication field will definitely be led by China.
But there are still relatively pessimistic people pointed out: "Neutral usable value has been squeezed dry, this victory does not have much significance, before the advanced 5G technology, has passed the golden development period, and then it is difficult to achieve something in the industry." ”
Is that really the case? The impact is certain, but it will not be so serious, Huawei in the case of ZTE so difficult, Ren Zhengfei has not fallen into the well, with his broad mind, it is likely that there will be corresponding cooperation later, truly achieve a win-win situation, what do you think about this?
