After entering 2022, Huawei can be said to be frequently moved, not only accelerating the listing of new machines, but also clarifying its position on chip issues and once again establishing a new ten legion. Now, Ren Zhengfei has spoken, and Huawei has made new moves, and the situation is like this.
Huawei has the world's largest number of 5G patents, as early as 2021, Huawei began to collect 5G patent fees, but recently, Ren Zheng informally released the "Patent Licensing Business Report". In this report, Ren Zhengfei clearly expressed Huawei's advantages in patents, Huawei holds more than 40,000 families (more than 100,000) valid authorized patents around the world, and more than 90% of patents are invention patents.
Secondly, according to the latest news from foreign media, Huawei has applied for 3544 patents in Europe alone in 2021, surpassing many technology companies such as Samsung, LG, and Ericsson. Unlike the patented technology applied for in China, the patented technology applied for in the European market is often the most core and critical part, which is directly related to the manufacturing principle of the product and the application of the underlying technology.
Earlier, Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei said in an interview with foreign reporters, "The best microwave in the world is Huawei, and the West does not use our technology, it will be their loss." ”
Now it seems that Ren Zhengfei is indeed right, after Huawei continued to increase capital investment in the field of research and development, it not only obtained 3544 patented technologies in Europe, but also changed the attitude of some countries that originally resisted Huawei's 5G equipment. For example, the United Kingdom, which originally planned to dismantle Huawei equipment, stated that there was no security risk to its equipment, and the reason why huawei's network equipment was not used was entirely the result of pressure from a major country.
Of course, in addition to Huawei, there are many excellent technology companies on the mainland, which not only achieve similar leadership in some fields, but also maintain a stable state of development even if they are targeted by the United States. Among them, there is such a technology giant, although the achievements are remarkable, but do not like to promote themselves, and even advertising is rarely seen, it is Pulian technology - a router company.
In the early years, China's technology industry had not yet risen, and domestic electronic devices were not very popular with users in the market. Therefore, many manufacturers like to take an English name in order to improve the competitiveness of their products. But because of this, many domestic companies are treated as foreign companies by consumers, such as Pulian Technology.
You know, Chinese mainland networks have just begun to popularize, the network equipment market is still tightly squeezed by Cisco in the United States, and the network equipment market in the mainland of the mainland is very lacking. Zhao Jianjun was in Huaqiang North at that time, the capital of China's electronics, and it was all business opportunities and opportunities. Even Zhao Jianjun himself did not expect that he would start a business after working for a few years. At first, Zhao Jianjun planned to produce computer accessories, but the computer accessories market was close to saturation, and Zhao Jianjun basically could not find any development opportunities in it.
By chance, Zhao Jianjun found that the network society must have routers, and the market for routers in the future is very large, so he decided to transform into a router. At that time, the R & D team was only three people, so Chen Jianjun undertook the research and development and design of multiple links alone. After years of research, the router TP-link was successfully developed, and the price of this device is less than 100 yuan.
After that, TP-link routers have also been loved by the public, sales continue to increase, and Pulian has thus embarked on the fast track of development, successfully overpowering companies such as Cisco in the United States. In order to develop better products, he has invested 200 million yuan to establish a research and development center, introducing talents, improving technology, and strengthening equipment conditions. According to the data, in 2010, Pulian had 22 laboratories, 1100 R&D personnel, and 7,000 R&D projects.
It is worth noting that in 2012, TP-link ranked first in the global market, when the brand sold 110 million routers, accounting for 36.65%. Not only that, after beating the American company Cisco, the company has sold the world's first for 10 consecutive years.
However, as a well-known enterprise in the field of domestic routers, although it has made a lot of achievements, it is often mistaken for a foreign company. In fact, the main reason for this problem is that its router brand is TP-link, for its name, everyone's first impression may be foreign companies.
On the one hand, it is because its founder, Chen Jianjun, is relatively low-key and does not like hype; on the other hand, it is also because the company has invested money in technology. This is also the reason why the company scored so high in the satisfaction survey, and without too much publicity, the company can achieve such excellent results, which just proves the equipment and technology of the company. But then again, the market is changing rapidly, and who is sure how long Pren can hold out?
Especially in the era of rapid development of science and technology, no one can dominate alone, and there are many different competitors in the same field. With the continuous development of China's manufacturing industry, more and more Chinese companies are constantly impacting the international market, such as Huawei and Xiaomi, these two manufacturers are more aggressive and vigorously promoted, resulting in many young consumers abandoning TP-LINK. In third- and fourth-tier cities, TP-LINK is still the first choice for most users. Although xiaomi and Huawei's router devices have been hyped, the quality of the product is not much higher than that of TP-LINK. From the perspective of comprehensive strength, the best router is TP-LINK.
Today, Pulian has become a multinational enterprise with subsidiaries all over the mainland. In addition to Shenzhen and Hong Kong, there are subsidiaries in many foreign countries, such as Russia, Singapore, Germany, etc., which sell well in more than 100 regions such as Europe, America, Australia, and Southeast Asia, and more than 300 foreign distributors. However, Pulian Technology, which has achieved such brilliant results, is very low-key. Few media reports on the mainland have reported on the technology of pulian, and Zhao Jianjun rarely participates in media interviews. So over the years, many Chinese don't know that TP-LINK is our own brand in China.
Many politicians have commented on China, China's economic development and the continuous improvement of China's political status, which is actually a microcosm of what China has done too much and said too little in the past period of time. But in fact, whether it is commercial achievements or people's livelihood achievements, China has always been relatively low-key, what China needs is not the world's first, but how to give people a good life with high-quality products? This is what Chinese companies really need to pursue. What do you think about that? Have you ever used this brand of router in your home?
