With the continuous expansion of business and the continuous increase of profits, many smart phone manufacturers have more or less developed their own sub-brands in order to take into account various market positioning, such as Xiaomi's RedMi. Once upon a time, Honor was also a member of Huawei's smartphone empire.
However, under the us revision of the rules, in order to make Glory have a bright and beautiful future, on November 17, 2020, Huawei officially announced the sale of Honor with tears. Honor does live up to expectations, and the development after leaving Huawei is indeed like a day in the sky, but a dismantling of Japanese related companies shows the unknown darkness under the prosperity of Glory's development, and the eyes are full of core technologies in the United States.
So, What happened to Huawei, is glory unclear? Why are so many U.S. technologies deployed? How exactly will Glory change the status quo in the days to come?
After all, Glory still did not listen to academician Ni Guangnan's advice
On May 4 this year, Honor held an anniversary celebration on the same day, at this anniversary, Honor's new model X30 was officially unveiled, this glory new model has also aroused strong interest from Japan's relevant dismantling agencies, according to the Nikkei Chinese Network revealed that after the dismantling of Honor X 30, many core components are basically dependent on foreign countries.
Before the Honor 30S, at least the processor, 5G chip, wireless communication module, power management chip are basically domestic Huawei HiSilicon. But today's Honor X30, these core components, directly fell into the arms of Qualcomm, in other words, after leaving Huawei, today's Glory is basically increasing its dependence on foreign countries step by step. So why does Glory do this? Aren't you afraid of repeating Huawei's mistakes? Academician Ni Guangnan has shouted more than once, the core technology cannot be bought, rented, borrowed, why should Glory ignore such advice?
The helplessness behind the glory
First of all, if the current glory wants to go global, if it wants to extend to the world, then it is inevitable to be inseparable from mobile services, after all, only the right mobile services can cater to the good feelings of the global consumer market as much as possible, but the world's largest mobile service is still Google, and Google's GMS monthly active users have reached more than one billion. Its own market influence and market position are not comparable to the current nascent Huawei HMS.
Therefore, Honor may be able to win as much consumer market as possible, so it wants to use a large number of American parts to gain the goodwill of the American market and American companies. This is also a helpless move.
In addition, on January 22, 2021, Honor held its first press conference after independence on the same day, at this conference, Honor CEO Zhao Ming said that in the coming days, Honor is very confident, and also has the strength to build the most high-end brand and win the favor of the most high-end consumers in the mainland for Honor products.
It can be seen from this that the development goal of Glory is not low-end, but high-end, in the high-end field, foreign companies will often have a deeper technical background, as well as a more peaceful and smooth development environment, such as Qualcomm, therefore, the reason why Glory ignores the advice of Academician Ni Guangnan may also be for the need to enter the development of high-end.
As the glory of those days when Huawei was restricted by the United States, it should be more of a helplessness to strengthen external dependence now, so how will Glory change this status quo in the coming days, and how to prevent Huawei's history from being staged again in itself?
How does Glory change that?
On May 5 this year, Honor CEO Zhao Ming said that Glory's annual R & D investment is basically maintained at about 7%, and there are currently 12,000 employees in Honor Group, of which R & D personnel account for up to 50%. But is that enough? Obviously not enough, otherwise the core of Honor's new model would not have so much American equipment and technology.
And Huawei? More than 10% of the total investment per year, Huawei's total investment in research and development last year accounted for 22.6% of the total revenue, and it is said that Huawei employees, not to mention now, take 2018 as an example, when Huawei's internal R & D personnel directly accounted for 45% of the total number of employees.
Therefore, in this way, Glory's current R & D personnel and R & D funds are actually not enough, therefore, if Glory wants to change the status quo, it can face the world, increase the recruitment of high-end scientific research talents, face itself, increase the investment of funds, as far as possible on the road of independent self-research, climb more peaks.
In addition, on January 6 this year, Honor obtained the authorization and transfer of a number of patents such as power supply circuits and electronic equipment, according to the relevant patent legal status, most of these patents have undergone the transfer of application rights and patent rights, and before the transfer, the right holder was Huawei.
It can be seen from this that holding the glory of so many Huawei patents, its own scientific research strength should also be greatly improved, in the future days, glory wants to change such a status quo, then we must make full use of these patents, these patents into their own independent self-research power, which may not be the glory of the way to break the game.
summary
The core technology cannot be bought, rented, or borrowed, and the appeal of Academician Ni Guangnan is still in the ears. However, the glory of separating from Huawei does not seem to listen to it, and this time the Japanese company directly tore open the fig leaf of glory. Although, it is undeniable, Glory has helplessness, but the peak of high-end technology, the avenue of independent self-research, Glory is not impossible to walk, not impossible to climb.
I hope that Glory can get rid of external dependence and get rid of foreign technology as soon as possible in the future, after all, only in this way is the Yangguan Avenue for Glory's future development.
