In recent years, the momentum of the new energy automobile industry has risen, and it has also driven the development of the battery industry. With the elevation of sodium batteries in the Ningde era, we also found a lot of big guys hidden behind the vine. One of the best tech companies is Huawei. Following the industrial and commercial changes in the lithium battery company Weilan on March 24 this year, Huawei's Hubble Investment Company has once again injected blood into Beijing Zhongke Haina, which develops sodium batteries. And the frequent and continuous action, is it also a sign of the development direction of Huawei's future field?
Why huawei makes batteries
Automobiles can be described as an industrial chain and its long industry. Of course, it is not only a frame and four rudders that we can see with the naked eye, but also a series of derivative industries such as in-vehicle chips, vehicle intelligent systems, automotive cloud services and application services. For example, in autonomous driving, Google and Baidu have formed a situation of two tigers competing; on the car chip, Intel, Qualcomm, and NVIDIA are also fighting for blood, and Microsoft is occupying most of the cloud platform. In the face of the division and bite of various technology giants, Huawei's move to enter the battery industry is more like being forced to Liangshan.
Why not just build a car
More than once, Huawei has stated in public that it has no intention of building a car. Even at a previous Shanghai Auto Show, the chairman of Huawei's shift, under questioning, also claimed to use the "blood book" as evidence. Why doesn't Huawei build cars? In fact, it is very simple, as a small white in the car manufacturing industry, Huawei has neither technology nor experience. Compared with those car manufacturers with hundreds of years of experience, if you blindly shoot, you will definitely die ugly. Even Tesla, the giant of new energy vehicles today, has harvested rough models and backward process quality in building cars. In addition, taking his own shortcomings to compete with the strengths of others, Ren Zhengfei will certainly not be stupid enough to do so.
Huawei's ambitions
Although we are inferior to others in terms of car building, we certainly have our own advantages. The world's leading 5G technology, the computing power of chips and the research and development invested in intelligent driving have become our trump cards in the automotive industry. In fact, as early as a decade ago, Huawei began to lay out its own automotive industry, and in 2009 Huawei opened the research and development of the 4G network in-vehicle mode; in 2013, it officially established the "Car Networking Business Department"; until 2019, Huawei officially formulated intelligent car solutions. Then on April 12 this year, it was exposed that Changan, Huawei, and Ningde Times jointly created a pure tram brand - Changan Deep Blue. All show that Huawei's purpose is not just to enter, but to become the leader behind the scenes.
Either enemies or friends
Huawei's layout in various fields of the automotive industry and the results of research and development may be the ultimate purpose of serving car companies. It is precisely because Huawei does not build cars that companies that may have been competitors at the beginning have now turned into their own customers. In addition, Huawei has also joined hands with 18 car companies such as Great Wall and SAIC BYD to establish a "5G Vehicle Ecosystem" to accelerate the development of 5G vehicles. Not only did it make its own name, but it also made its own technology really penetrate into the car companies. I have to say that Huawei's strategy of attacking the east and the west is really breathtaking.
Intelligence is the future
As a big man of new energy vehicles today, Tesla's self-driving and intelligent cars have shown the endless possibilities of the future automotive industry for the public. Studies have shown that only 30% of the value of future cars comes from manufacturing, while 70% lies in intelligent functions and ecological services. Tesla has also become the world's largest producer of electric vehicles by relying on its own excellent technology, and has shown a crazy delivery situation in China. With Tesla's whale swallowing of the world's market share, Musk has set a goal of eating 1/5 of the world's car consumer market.
The author believes that perhaps this is the reason why Huawei does not build cars. Turning the enemy into a partner by retreating also shows Ren Zhengfei's pattern and vision and team consciousness as a military background. Turning a gang into a jade warrior is the way smart people do it, after all, it is only by forming a group to fight the BOSS. After all, in the face of the powerful Tesla, there is no one who can fight in China for the time being. If there is a situation of fighting in the nest, it is undoubtedly the relatives who hate the enemy. With the continuous upgrading of intelligence, it is hoped that Huawei can also occupy a place in the automotive field like the 5G communication field and become a bellwether. (Nian Yao)
Huawei does not build cars, but makes batteries? You don't understand Huawei's "layout"
Ren Zhengfei's vision is indeed different! Huawei does not build cars, but enters the battery industry
