If Lei Jun called Yu Chengdong on the night of 3.31 and said: Are you OK?
Yu Chengdong will definitely shed two lines of tears after hanging up the phone.
Yu Chengdong, if you don't conform, just do it.

Life dreams
In 1140, Yue Fei was preparing to retake Kaifeng and beat the Yellow Dragon when he suddenly received 12 gold medals and was forced to return to the dynasty.
In 2023, Yu Chengdong was ready to show his skills in the automotive industry, and suddenly received the company's eighth statement, breaking his dream of building a car.
Yu Chengdong is a native of Lu'an, Anhui. Wang Chuanfu, Anhui Wuwei. The two are both fellow countrymen and confidants.
As early as when Yu Chengdong was still in charge of Huawei's mobile phone business, he was envious of BYD's automobile business.
Watching the fellow villagers in the automotive industry overcome difficulties and concentrate on research and finally achieve fame, it is inevitable that my heart will itch.

Let's take a look at another fellow countryman, Li Bin (from Anqing, Anhui), who led NIO to show its ambitions in the new forces of car manufacturing.
Yu Chengdong's dream was planted by two fellow villagers.

Dreams of building cars are shattered
Yu Chengdong thought, can't be all in, after all, age is here, how to be more stable. Then cooperate with the OEM first to accumulate experience.
As a result, Huawei launched three cooperation models with OEMs:
- Production and sale of parts, such as Harmony operating system.
- Provide modular solutions, such as Huawei HI solution.
- Smart car business.
Because the smart car business and the car company cooperation model are deeply bundled, and even in the sales service system, Huawei will deeply participate in or even become the leader. Models can also enter Huawei's terminal stores for sale.
Yu Chengdong's dream of building a car seems to be getting closer and closer.
However, in 2021, Huawei personally issued a serious statement by Ren Zhengfei 7 times that "Huawei does not build cars, the period is 3 years".
Yu Chengdong: Okay, three years, I'll wait!

This year's three-year period expires.
Just when Yu Chengdong was full of ambition, he waited for Ren Zhengfei's eighth statement: "Huawei does not build cars, the period is 5 years."
3 years to expire and 5 years, when is it a head?
Recall the incident in 2003, when Li Yinan, Huawei's former prince, set up his own portal; and in 2020, the sudden departure of Sun Yafang, former president of Huawei, is still embarrassing.

Huawei is not the Huawei it once was.
Where Yu Chengdong goes from here is a difficult problem in front of Huawei and Yu Chengdong.

Let's take a look at another big guy who killed and fell in love with Yu Chengdong - Lei Jun.
It can be seen from Lei Jun's "disobedience (gàn)" to "disobedience (gān)" that Lei Jun's attitude towards Yu Chengdong has undergone a 180-degree change, from the hardness of peer competition to the admiration of heroes and heroes.
In the end, the two understood each other and had a cup of feud.
Yu Chengdong and Lei Jun had a vendetta
The mourning army will win, and there is no doubt about the use of people, which is exactly the style of Lei Jun's employment.
Most of Xiaomi's six core executives, including Lu Weibing, are frustrated heroes of various companies.
Lu Weibing joined Xiaomi in 2019 and served as the general manager of Redmi brand, the president of Xiaomi China, and the president of Xiaomi Group for four years.
From Lu Weibing's upgrade history, it reflects the great pattern of Lei Jun.
Xiaomi Seven Donkey Kongs
Today's Yu Chengdong in Huawei, like stepping on the soles of his feet and the ceiling above his head.
With Yu Chengdong's network resources, if he comes out alone, there will definitely be investors willing to contribute, but time does not wait for anyone.
The opportunity is fleeting, the entire automotive industry is about to usher in a big reshuffle, and now it has entered the stage of price "white blade war".
Production qualifications are difficult to apply, new energy subsidies are about to expire, "oil and electricity at the same price".
These are the three "mountains" in front of new energy vehicle companies.
Therefore, if Yu Chengdong wants to set up his own portal and start again, he will have to spend too much time, energy, and funds to solve these three "mountains".
It basically takes 4 years for the car to go from "0" to the first car on the market.
In 4 years, the automobile market has changed, and it may be difficult to have Yu Chengdong's place.
An industry to love, a boss to trust.
Xiaomi Auto and Lei Jun just solved the most urgent needs of Yu Chengdong at present.
Now Xiaomi car is the best home for Yu Chengdong.
Huawei closed Yu Chengdong's door, will Xiaomi open the window for him?
