In the splendid year of 2023, Huawei has spread its wings like a Kunpeng and created one amazing miracle after another in its long technological journey. Yu Chengdong, at this year's developer conference, opened a new chapter in technology, Huawei's magical HarmonyOS4 system, has undergone many aspects of upgrades, not only in terms of fluency, performance and battery life, AI technology is proud of its peers.
In a short period of time, the number of ecological users of HarmonyOS has exceeded the 700 million mark, becoming the best note for technological development.
As the applause subsided, Huawei announced its outstanding results in the first half of the year with its usual calmness. The revenue reached 310.9 billion yuan, and the net profit was as high as 46.6 billion yuan, behind this figure is the steady growth of multiple businesses. Once these data were made public, they aroused a wave of admiration from the outside media, as if Huawei had set off a vigorous wave in the business sea.
However, behind the glamour are often ups and downs and challenges. As the saying goes, success is an iceberg, only one-tenth is visible, and the remaining ninety percent is hidden under the water. Huawei, as the world's leading technology giant, is also facing a lot of waves brought about by the adjustment of chip rules, especially in the field of mobile phones, 5G and chips.
Huawei's mobile phone business used to be a dazzling pearl in its business. However, the supply of chips has been limited, especially the shipments of manufacturers such as TSMC have been suppressed, resulting in Huawei's mobile phone sales have been declining, from the once the first in China and the second in the world to five outside.
In the field of 5G, Huawei was once the undisputed hegemon in the number of contracts, but the call of the United States led allies to abandon Huawei's 5G equipment, and rival Ericsson even surpassed Huawei in terms of the number of contracts. Huawei's leading position in 5G chip technology is self-evident, but due to supply chain constraints, some advanced chips such as Kirin 9000 are temporarily difficult to manufacture.
However, Huawei has always responded to difficulties with tenacity and unyielding courage. The fluctuation of data does not shake Huawei's determination.
Ren Zhengfei stood on the cusp of the storm and solemnly announced that "living" is still Huawei's motto. He encouraged its HiSilicon and other companies to make comprehensive breakthroughs and invest 20% of their annual revenue in R&D funds, injecting a steady stream of impetus into independent innovation.
After three years of painstaking management, Huawei has made breakthroughs in many core areas, which is called "hitting the sky". First of all, Huawei has made remarkable changes in the mobile phone business. By opening up the domestic mobile phone industry chain, Huawei has increased the localization of mobile phones to more than 60%, while other manufacturers such as Xiaomi and OV often have a localization rate of about 30%.
Even in the face of US restrictions, Huawei has been able to maintain mobile phone production capacity and has created a series of flagship mobile phones with domestic components. For example, Huawei's Mate50 series, although it uses 4G chips, incorporates variable aperture technology, satellite communication technology, etc., and sales are also gratifying tens of millions of units. The folding screen mobile phones of the Huawei Mate series occupy more than fifty percent of the domestic market. In the second quarter of this year, Huawei's sales in the high-end mobile phone market soared by more than 70%, which made Huawei have to raise its mobile phone shipments in 2023 from 30 million units to 40 million units, and this data improvement also added a strong stroke to Huawei's development.
Secondly, in the field of 5G, Huawei has not been frustrated, but has opened a new 5GToB market. In the face of the rejection of the United States, Huawei has actively changed its strategy, using 5G technology to empower enterprises and promote digital, intelligent, and unmanned transformation. Huawei's 5GToB contracts are far ahead, with more than 3,000, ranking first in the world. Huawei has also stepped into the field of enterprise digital transformation, and 267 of the world's top 500 companies have chosen to cooperate with Huawei, which shows the market's recognition and trust in Huawei technology.
In addition, Huawei has also made breakthroughs in the field of intelligent connected cars, signing cooperation agreements with Mercedes-Benz, BYD and other car companies to provide them with advanced automotive communication technology, which further enriches Huawei's business territory.
Finally, Huawei has achieved many core technology breakthroughs through independent research and development
These technologies not only enrich Huawei's product line, but also provide strong support for the company's sustainable development. Huawei is not only gorgeous on the outside, but also constantly innovates at the depth of technology.
On the road of independent research and development, Huawei has worked tirelessly and made great efforts. From the Harmony System to the Euler System, from HMS services to the localization of 14nm EDA tools, Huawei has been involved in a variety of fields, and all aspects have shown its strong innovation strength. The number of Hongmeng ecological users exceeds 700 million, and this number is continuing to grow at an alarming rate. Huawei has promoted the localization of 14nm EDA tools in the United Nations, and this work will realize the whole process of non-US 7nm in the next 12 months, which is the best proof of Huawei's independent research and development capabilities in the semiconductor field.
The key is that Huawei's independent research and development in the field of chips has not stopped. Although Qualcomm announced that it would lose Huawei's chip orders, Huawei was not intimidated. Huawei firmly grasps the development of fundamental technologies, continuously increases investment, and strives to achieve technological breakthroughs. Meng Wanzhou's statement added confidence, saying that Huawei will solve the IC supply problem in 2024, which is a manifestation of Huawei's confidence in the future.
Based on all the signs, it is not difficult to see that although Huawei is facing challenges and difficulties, it still shows perseverance.
The performance of 46.6 billion yuan is the crystallization of Huawei's firm belief and a reward for Huawei's great efforts in technological innovation. Huawei is not only a technology giant, but also a brand with deep heritage and indomitable will. In this battlefield of technology, Huawei's innovative power is rewriting the boundaries of technology again and again, revealing future possibilities one by one.
Therefore, in this moment of hope and challenge, every step of Huawei is highly anticipated. Whether it is the comprehensive recovery of the mobile phone business, the in-depth expansion of the 5GToB market, or the breakthrough in the chip field, Huawei is steadily moving towards a more brilliant future.
As long as Huawei continues to adhere to independent innovation and investment, I believe that Huawei's future technological journey will continue to create miracles and make greater contributions to global technological development.
In this impetuous era, Huawei, with its calm and tenacity, has become a bellwether leading the trend of science and technology. 46.6 billion yuan is not only a number, but also Huawei's courageous march on the road of science and technology, Huawei's persistence in technological innovation, and the future for which Huawei is working hard, and it is also a chapter worthy of our praise. Let us look forward to Huawei's greater glory in the future, praise Huawei's innovation road, and welcome everyone to leave a message to discuss and share.
