Huawei announced two major decisions
On March 28, Huawei held a 2021 annual performance conference, at this conference, the outside world learned that in the entire 2021 Huawei revenue totaled 636.8 billion yuan, from the volume alone is still very large, but this data is compared with Huawei's 2020 operating income, it seems to be a little sad, because compared to the 891.4 billion yuan in 2020 revenue, less than 200 billion, and the emergence of this result, It is not that Huawei's strength is not good, but because of the impact of overseas supply chains, the development of Huawei's mobile phone business has some difficulties, otherwise, Huawei's revenue in 2021 is likely to have exceeded the trillion mark.
However, even if Huawei is currently encountering some difficulties, Huawei has not sacrificed R&D expenses and employee treatment to carry out "open source throttling" in funds, but to ensure development by optimizing the organizational structure of enterprises, and recently Huawei has also announced two major decisions, and the release of these two major decisions has made the outside world feel that Huawei is abnormal.
First of all, Huawei publicly stated that it will continue to increase investment in research and development, according to the data, Huawei's research and development investment in 2021 alone will reach 142.7 billion yuan, accounting for 22.4% of the total revenue of the year, far exceeding the previously set 10%, from this aspect, it can be seen that Huawei's recognition of the technology self-research road.
In addition, in the context of the current major enterprises' large layoffs, Huawei also directly announced that it will recruit more than 10,000 fresh graduates in 2022, which shows Huawei's desire for talents.
Secondly, on April 2, Huawei also announced a shareholder dividend plan, a total of 61.4 billion yuan for dividends, benefiting more than 130,000 employees.
Sure enough, it was not ordinary
Huawei's two waves of operations are unusual in the eyes of the outside world, after all, under the normal logic of enterprise development, when the company's operating income declines, companies often choose to cut all aspects of expenditure and streamline the size of employees, so as to achieve open source and throttling, and then protect corporate profits.
However, in the case of declining revenue, Huawei not only did not cut R& D expenditure, but also planned to expand R& D expenses, but also not only did not have a large number of layoffs, but also began to plan to expand the recruitment of talents, in addition, it also took out a lot of cash for dividends.
This wave of operations, although it is not common sense on the surface, but it also makes Huawei more stable, first of all, increase the expenditure on research and development, which is undoubtedly the core driving force for Huawei's technology development, and it is also the fundamental reason why Huawei can stand out from many technology companies in the past 20 years, which has not changed at any time, and also allows Huawei to have more advantages in future technology competition.
Secondly, even if the revenue declines, Huawei still dividends to employees, which undoubtedly stabilizes the military morale of employees, and also allows the outside world to see Huawei's strength and Huawei's attitude towards talents, which will also attract more talents for Huawei to join, and then help Huawei's development in the field of technology.
These are not ordinary enterprises can do, therefore, after Huawei's series of moves came out, even the foreign media also came to the comments, "Huawei is indeed an unusual enterprise."
summary
Indeed, Huawei is not only unusual, but also very unusual, because, like Toshiba and France's Alstom in the past, after encountering malicious suppression of the US market, they have chosen to compromise, which in turn has led to the obstruction of the development of their own business.
Moreover, under the predicament, a series of products that have shaken the entire industry have been launched, such as Hongmeng and Euler in the field of operating systems, and in terms of semiconductor chips, Huawei has not stopped moving forward, but has made technological breakthroughs in the fields of RF chips and chip packaging, and has made great breakthroughs.
