Just after the order of lao Mei, since the end of February this year, not only Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle and other US companies have announced the cut off of supply to Russia, but even non-US companies such as TSMC, Samsung, Ericsson, and Nokia have also implemented supply cuts on the Russian market.
In this regard, the Russian side has said that it will impose reciprocal sanctions on these departing enterprises, and may even directly auction the assets of these companies in the local area.
Why do these tech giants invariably make this kind of operation that can be called "self-destructing walls"? In fact, the answer is very simple, just four words - "scientific and technological hegemony".
Who dares to disobey, then what awaits may be lao Mei's "science and technology sanction stick"!
So are all companies such "followers"? Of course not! At present, it seems that there is at least one enterprise exception, that is, Huawei!
Huawei delivers $15 million in equipment
According to the news from the Russian media on April 21, The russian top operator, VimpelCom (the world's seventh largest telecom operator), recently received $15 million worth of communication equipment from Huawei, or about 97.52 million yuan.
And it should be known that the order was signed before February 24, when it was at a critical moment when the conflict broke out, and all the companies were wavering, but Huawei still signed the list, and not only signed it, but also completed the delivery on schedule after the old United States revised the export rules to Russia.
And what about Apple, Microsoft, AMD, Oracle and many other US companies? The "spirit of contract" is often put on the lips, and even enshrined as a guideline. But now, if we say that we cut off supply, we will cut off supply, and who dares to say that Western enterprises have more contractual spirit than us?
So why did Huawei do this? Doesn't he know that doing so offends a lot of "people"?
The answer is actually very simple, perhaps it is precisely because Huawei has experienced it, so it understands better!
When Huawei chips were cut off in all directions, when Google banned Huawei's GMS services, the Russian market gave Huawei great support.
First of all, Huawei's mobile phone business has fallen sharply due to lack of core sales, but sales in the Russian market have been good, and smartphone sales in 2021 rank in the top 5 in the Russian market. In March this year, affected by the supply cut off of Apple and Samsung, Huawei's mobile phone sales directly increased by 3 times in the local area;
Secondly, the Russian company BQ also officially stated at the end of March this year that because Google has stopped certifying Russian smartphones running Android, it has begun to test Huawei's Hongmeng system.
Finally, the relationship between Huawei and Russia can be described as very deep, and the reason why Huawei was able to rise rapidly in the field of communications was to get the help of a talented Russian mathematician to open up the algorithm from 2G to 3G and achieve a soaring speed.
Therefore, Huawei is now under pressure to deliver equipment, which is not only to fulfill its own contract spirit as a fair enterprise, but also to repay the Russian market.
Only Hua is left
As we all know, there are only a few companies in the world that have 5G construction capabilities and can carry out 5G communication construction in other countries, including the century-old communications giants Ericsson and Nokia, as well as Huawei and ZTE in the mainland.
However, not long ago, Ericsson and Nokia have announced their complete withdrawal from the Russian market, and their responsible persons also said that due to the current situation, they cannot see any prospects and possibilities for the development of the Russian market.
In this way, the local 5G market is really only Huawei!
Why would Ericsson and Nokia prefer to suffer huge losses than withdraw from the Russian market? In fact, the reason is very simple, these two are not "free bodies", and they are afraid of being bought by Lao Mei to find an excuse.
It is reported that when the number of global 5G patents is announced and Huawei ranks first with huge advantages, THE US lawmakers can't sit still, and have repeatedly made suggestions to ensure their advantages in the 5G field by acquiring Nokia or Ericsson.
Although the subsequent rejection and possible antitrust investigations were eventually closed, this obviously scared Nokia and Ericsson enough.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Nokia and Ericsson have chosen to withdraw from the Russian market, which is a typical situation.
And from this it is more able to see huawei's preciousness, century-old communications giants Nokia and Ericsson can not withstand the pressure to withdraw from the Russian market, Huawei can insist on fulfilling the contract supply, I have to say, this is the real spirit of the contract!
If there is no accident, there will be a Huawei in the future Russian 5G market!
Write at the end
Ren Zhengfei is indeed unusual, even if many mainstream technology giants have chosen to "follow the trend", but under his leadership, Huawei still has its own insistence and does not choose to blindly compromise.
And as of now, Huawei has been targeted for more than 2 years, but the communication business as a basic disk is still developing steadily, and whether Huawei can win more Russian 5G orders, let's continue to observe together!
