As Vice Chairman and CFO of Huawei, Meng Wanzhou appeared at Huawei's performance conference. Meng Wanzhou is the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, and this is also the first time she has publicly attended Huawei's press conference after returning to China.
"The last time I attended huawei's earnings conference was 4 years ago," Meng Wanzhou said at the press conference, "In the past 4 years, the world has changed a lot, the motherland has also changed a lot, in the months of returning to China, I have been working hard to learn and keep up with these changes." ”
The Hongmeng plate is changing
Affected by the good news, Huawei's Hongmeng concept once rose by more than 4%, and finally fell slightly back to close up 2.94%, of which Jiulian Technology, Chuanzhi Education rose and stopped, and Runhe Software rose by 14%.
In addition to the traditional Hongmeng concept, Huawei cars also ushered in a sharp pull before the close of the morning. Beiqi Blue Valley straight line pull board, Xiaokang shares closed up 5% in the morning and rose in the afternoon, but after that, both fried boards, and finally closed up 9.03% and 4.84% respectively.
Huawei's joys and worries
In 2021, Huawei suffered multiple rounds of severe sanctions, limited supply, and mobile phone sales fell sharply. In 2021, Huawei mobile phones fell out of the top five positions in the world, which also greatly affected Huawei's performance.
In 2021, Huawei achieved global sales revenue of 636.8 billion yuan, down 28.6% year-on-year, and net profit was 113.7 billion yuan, an increase of 75.9% year-on-year. Huawei said that the increase in net profit was mainly due to the benefits from the sale of some businesses, the improvement of operating quality and the optimization of product structure.
Meng Wanzhou said that the decline in income is mainly due to lack of cores and the epidemic. "We're getting smaller, but our profitability and cash flow access are increasing, and the company's ability to cope with uncertainty is increasing."

Thanks to the improvement of the profitability of its main business, Huawei's operating cash flow has increased significantly in 2021, reaching 59.7 billion yuan; the asset-liability ratio has been reduced to 57.8%, and the resilience and resilience of the overall financial structure are strengthening.
In 2021, Huawei achieved sales revenue of 281.5 billion yuan in the carrier business, 102.4 billion yuan in the enterprise business, and 243.4 billion yuan in the consumer business.
It is worth noting that in 2020, Huawei's consumer business achieved revenue of 482.916 billion yuan, which also means that its consumer business revenue fell by half in 2021.
In March this year, Ren Zhengfei offered rent reductions to the company's internal service merchants, a heart-warming move that made Huawei brush the screen. In simple terms, rent-free for 6 months, halved rent for 9 months, and those collected are also returned.

Last year, as the "spokesperson" of Huawei's brand, Yu Chengdong, managing director and CEO of Huawei's consumer business, encountered a situation of "no license to play" and shifted from selling Huawei mobile phones to helping partners sell cars. Yu Chengdong also took the helm of Huawei's intelligent vehicle solutions business.
Huawei's consumer business also has bright spots. In December 2021, Huawei's P50 treasure box "clamshell" folding screen mobile phone was released, leading Apple.
In 2021, the Hongmeng operating system will be used on Huawei mobile phones. At the end of December 2021, according to Yu Chengdong, the total number of devices equipped with HarmonyOS exceeded 320 million. Among them, the number of Huawei equipment exceeded 220 million units, and the shipment of new ecological equipment by Hongmeng Zhilian in 2021 exceeded 100 million units.
This is related to Huawei's vigorous investment in Hongmeng. In the past three years, Huawei has invested more than 50 billion yuan in the Hongmeng ecosystem.
In 2021, Huawei also increased the digital energy industry, spending 3 billion yuan to establish Huawei Digital Energy Technology Co., Ltd., which also made Huawei's other major "killer" business surface: Huawei inverters have ranked first in the world in shipments for many years.
Consumer business revenue declined, and Huawei hopes to produce more grain for the company through the "legion" organizational model. In October 2021, Ren Zhengfei braved for more than 300 "soldiers" of Huawei's five "legions" and undertook the heavy responsibility of breaking through for the company.

Ten years of investment in research and development of 845.6 billion yuan
Talent and R&D investment are Huawei's bottom cards. There is a saying within Huawei: "Huawei is the world's poorest and most willing to spend money high-tech companies." ”
Facing the future, Huawei will continue to increase investment in research and development. In 2021, Huawei's R&D investment reached 142.7 billion yuan, accounting for 22.4% of the annual revenue, and the cumulative R&D expenditure invested in the decade exceeded 845.6 billion yuan. In 2021, Huawei will employ about 107,000 people engaged in research and development, accounting for about 54.8% of the company's total number.

In its 2021 annual report, Huawei said that the company's 195,000 employees span more than 170 countries and regions, serving more than 3 billion people around the world.
Huawei's high-intensity R&D investment has won the praise of many netizens. Some netizens said that Huawei's dedication to itself is also to continuously overcome the core technical difficulties, not only in the field of chips, but also in the operating system has also launched the Hongmeng and Euler operating systems, and the future Huawei is definitely worth looking forward to.
"Huawei, it's worth it." Some netizens said that Huawei is worthy of being one of the best technology companies in China, with nearly 150 billion yuan of research and development funds a year. It is believed that Huawei will be able to make greater breakthroughs by relying on such a terrible research and development strength in the future, and be reborn like a phoenix.
Meng Wanzhou said when talking about research and development that Huawei's biggest wealth is not on the statement.
As early as November 2020, Chen Lifang, director and senior vice president of Huawei, said that Huawei has never hesitated in terms of spending money, whether it is put into the market and customer service (more than 50 billion yuan per year), product research and development (more than 120 billion yuan per year), or investment talents (more than 160 billion yuan per year), because these are Huawei's future. The reason why Huawei is poor is because Huawei spends most of its money investing in the future, and talent is also Huawei's future.
In addition to R&D investment, Huawei is also recruiting talents around the world. Since Huawei implemented the "Genius Teenagers" program in 2019, the number of "genius teenagers" reported publicly has reached 20.
In 2021, Ren Zhengfei said that Huawei should open its mind, emancipate its mind, and dare to attract the best talents in the world. As early as May 2019, Ren Zhengfei said that Huawei has 26 R&D capability centers around the world, with more than 700 mathematicians, more than 800 physicists, and more than 120 chemists.
Last September, The joining of French mathematician and 2002 Fields Medal winner Laurent Lafog was a cause for concern. At the beginning of this year, Russia's "genius girl" joined Huawei and brushed the screen.
Outlook for 2022: "Survival, Development"
Meng Wanzhou said that Huawei has been "load-bearing" for three years, stronger, more stable and resilient.
Guo Ping, Huawei's rotating chairman, said that in 2021, Huawei survived. Huawei continues to win the recognition of customers and the industry in terms of product strength and innovation. However, the problems faced by Huawei have not been completely solved, and it will continue to "survive and seek development" in 2022.

Guo Ping said: "Huawei will move forward in the direction of digitalization, intelligence, and low carbon, relying on the three elements of talent, scientific research and innovation spirit, continuing to increase investment, and striving to reconstruct the technical base of basic theory, architecture and software to build long-term competitiveness." ”
On the afternoon of March 28, Guo Ping introduced that Huawei will increase the absorption of talents under any circumstances. Last year and the year before the two years of recruitment of 26,000 fresh graduates, more than 300 are Huawei's definition of "genius teenagers", in 2022 Huawei plans to recruit more than 10,000 fresh graduates, only excellent talents can solve Huawei's current situation, so that Huawei further development.
