Just now, Huawei suddenly released a statement on official channels, officially informing Nokia and New Oriental Materials, from the tone and content, Huawei's attitude is still very serious:
In order to facilitate everyone's understanding, I will explain a little that TD TECH is TD TECH, which is a company focusing on the innovation of wireless communication technology and products, involving industry wireless, Internet of Things & 5G, and industry customized terminals. Those who know Huawei should know this company, which has a deep relationship with Huawei.
In terms of shares, TD Communications has two shareholders: Nokia and Huawei, of which Nokia accounts for 51% and Huawei accounts for 49%!
In one sentence, the content of the statement is that Nokia intends to sell 51% of TD Communications to New Oriental Materials, Huawei disagrees, and warns of possible counterattacks.
To be honest, if I were Huawei, I would also be angry.
From the business point of view, Huawei, Nokia, TD Communications, are all engaged in communication technology, everyone is a circle, so in each other's business cooperation, technical exchanges, product research and development and other fields have common topics, what is New Oriental Materials for? Simply put, it is a manufacturer of printer ink!
A company that produces ink, to acquire a technology company that does communication technology and can develop 5G mobile phones, but also to take 51% of the shares and obtain control of the company, is this not in the direction of turning TD Communication yellow? No wonder Huawei disagrees, I don't agree with my toes.
Why did New Oriental Materials acquire TD Communications?
The reason behind it may not be simple. If it's just what New Oriental Materials said in the announcement:
On the basis of the original main business, through the layout of wireless communication, terminal products and Internet of Things business segments, cut into wireless communication, terminal products and Internet of Things track, form a "ink + communication" dual main business operation business model, realize the company's main business to diversified, scientific and technological strategic transformation and upgrading, so as to promote the long-term and high-quality development of listed companies
This is fine, after all, it is only business transactions between Chinese companies, but don't forget that there is also Nokia, Nokia is behind the West and the United States, if someone wants to suppress part of Huawei's business through a malicious acquisition of TD Tech, this is not a trivial matter, but a premeditated and acted disintegration of Huawei.
TD Communication for Huawei, is not a simple partner, you can look at the official website of the mobile phone product information, all from Huawei authorization, simply put, this is Huawei in the case of 5G suppression, continue to develop 5G mobile phone a curve to save the country, speaking of this, everyone will understand why Huawei is angry!
What if some people get the communication and mobile phone technology licensed to TD Tech by Huawei and sell it abroad?
So does Huawei have to sit still? I don't see it necessarily.
In the statement, Huawei emphasized that "our company is evaluating the relevant situation and has the right to take follow-up measures, including but not limited to exercising the right of pre-emption, selling all shares to withdraw, and terminating the relevant technology authorization of TD TECH and its subsidiaries."
It seems that there are only two ways left for Huawei, one is to spend billions and buy the remaining 51% of the shares, but in this case, TD Tech will lose the meaning of "saving the country with a curve"; The other way is to stop licensing TD Tech, and Huawei sold 49% of TD Tech's shares.
In any case, it is not a very good result for Huawei, but when it is broken, it must also be broken.
