As we all know, since Huawei was sanctioned by a beautiful country, the mobile phone business has become more and more difficult year by year...
The consequence is that many consumers complain that the current Huawei mobile phone is very expensive.
In fact, in my opinion, this is actually Huawei's helpless move~
Even if there is only 4G, using a 778G mid-range processor, it will sell for four or five thousand yuan, in fact, it is to keep the high-end brand at all costs.
After all, the current domestic mobile phone market, in addition to Huawei, there is really no impact on high-end success...
As long as Huawei can keep the high-end brand, there will be a greater chance to make a comeback in the future
But in the past one or two years, it should be quite difficult, after all, there is no sign that the United States will take loose measures against Huawei...
In addition to Huawei, ZTE's 5G technology has also been sanctioned by beautiful countries, and Huawei can be said to be "difficult brothers".
However, just recently, ZTE finally won the case in the "struggle" with the beautiful country!
ZTE won the case, but the price was too high
Although ZTE won the appeal in this matter and won, it seems that the win is not so glorious, and it can even be said to be tragic...
This incident first occurred in 2012:
At that time, the U.S. government opened an investigation into ZTE and in 2016 put ZTE and its three affiliates on the "entity list" and took specific regulatory measures.
The reason is that the US Department of Commerce believes that ZTE is illegally selling embargoed equipment to Iran, and the following year the United States announced that it will impose a 7-year export ban on ZTE.
This news is nothing less than a thunderbolt in the clear sky for ZTE!
Because this will affect not only more than 80,000 employees and 300,000 shareholders of ZTE, ZTE's share of the global market has also been hit hard.
Although ZTE has negotiated with the United States for the first time, and finally reached a settlement and suspended for 5 years.
But the price is also very large:
ZTE not only paid a sky-high fine of $1 billion, but also paid a $400 million deposit.
Moreover, dozens of ZTE executives were forced to leave their jobs, allowing U.S.-designated executives to join the ZTE board of directors for supervision, and all the senior executives of ZTE were replaced.
More importantly, the victory of ZTE is only the end of the supervision period of the US court against ZTE, and the significance of winning the lawsuit is not great.
Because the $1.4 billion in fines paid will not be returned to you, and the probation has been executed for 5 years, and it will take 5 years to win the case...
That is to say, although the United States "conceded defeat" this time, in fact, it had already won the hemp.
The money was also fined, the personnel were also installed, and the five years were delayed, and then the ZTE was ruled in favor...
This also seems to send a signal to the world:
"You see our laws are fair and just, we are not toward ourselves ~ "
To this fruit wants to say - I can go to your bar, good people let you do it!
America you are a bad thing is not less, come to want to fall into a good reputation, dream it!
ZTE is hard and lives tougher
But I have to say that ZTE can survive until now after encountering Waterloo in 2017, which is enough to show the strength of ZTE
In recent years, ZTE's performance has rebounded sharply, and its revenue and profit in 2021 have hit record highs.
For example, ZTE's 2021 annual report released on March 9 pointed out:
In 2021, ZTE achieved operating income of 114.52 billion yuan, an increase of 12.9% year-on-year;
Net profit attributable to common shareholders of listed companies was RMB6.81 billion, up 59.9% year-on-year;
Net profit attributable to common shareholders of listed companies, net of non-recurring gains and losses, was RMB3.31 billion, an increase of 219.2% year-on-year, and basic earnings per share were RMB1.47;
Net cash flow from operating activities was RMB15.72 billion, an increase of 53.7% year-on-year.
At the same time, the three businesses of operator network, government and enterprise and consumer have achieved different degrees of growth, of which the consumer business has grown by 59.2% to 25.73 billion yuan!
The domestic market achieved operating income of 78.07 billion yuan, an increase of 14.7% year-on-year, accounting for 68.2% of the overall operating income;
The international market achieved operating income of 36.45 billion yuan, an increase of 9.1% year-on-year, accounting for 31.8% of the overall operating income.
However, it is normal for ZTE to have this achievement, after all, last year, ZTE did make all-round progress in the products, brands and channels of the consumer business
Not only did the world debut a new generation of under-screen camera phone Axon 30, but also signed a contract with Wu Jing to complete the mobile phone endorsement~
Summarize and reflect
After experiencing the sanctions of Huawei, ZTE, and even the complete ban of Russia:
Guozi believes that more and more countries will understand, and more and more enterprises will understand.
Relying on the United States is no good end, everything still has to come by themselves, or have to master the core technology in their own hands!
The so-called "dangerous organic":
Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of enterprises in the mainland at the same time, and more and more chip-related enterprises have been established.
Whether it is rfed chips or general-purpose integrated SOCs, as well as large and small chip front-end and back-end industries,
Domestic enterprises will not be absent!
Maybe the road is difficult to walk at the beginning, but please believe that if you persist in walking, you will definitely see the brilliance of your own scientific and technological achievements.
The domestic industrial chain can definitely accelerate its rise and erupt into infinite power.
