On April 30, as soon as the news of Yu Chengdong's position change came out, it immediately exploded in the industry. He stepped down from his position as CEO of Terminal BG and became Chairman of the Board.
On the surface, it seems to be relaxed, but in fact, it is more like Huawei is making room for Yu Chengdong to focus on the field of smart cars.
I still remember that Yu Chengdong took over as Huawei's terminal CEO for 11 years, and he worked for 13 years, during which Huawei's smart terminal business soared from a small pond of billions of dollars to a huge ocean of tens of billions of dollars, which is obvious to all.
Yu Chengdong's style is really too distinct to be more distinct, and every time he appears, he must bring a topic, especially the sentence "far ahead".
For example, when Huawei's P series was first launched, he made bold remarks, saying that the camera technology would throw others a few streets, and the P series really became a benchmark for mobile phone photography, making many mobile phone manufacturers run behind their butts.
There is also the Mate series, which was also Yu Chengdong's decision to be high-end, but now, the Mate series has become the first choice for business people, and not everyone has the courage and vision.
Of course, Yu Chengdong's "far ahead" is not just lip service, behind it is his attitude towards the ultimate pursuit of products, and his dedication to technological innovation.
From the construction of Kirin chips to the Hongmeng ecosystem, every breakthrough is inseparable from the unremitting efforts of the team led by Yu Chengdong. Even though Huawei's mobile phone business encountered unprecedented challenges, Yu Chengdong was more determined to push Huawei towards the path of independent research and development, which is worthy of respect.
Yu Chengdong's contribution to Huawei's mobile phone business can be described as "legendary".
At present, Huawei's mobile phone business is back on track, and there is huge room for growth in the HarmonyOS Zhixing ecosystem in the automotive sector.
At this time, Yu Chengdong, a leader at the level of "God of War", naturally wants to continue to shine in key areas.
As a highland of future technology, the current smart car is also a key part of Huawei's HarmonyOS intelligent interconnection transformation, which requires a heavyweight who has both strategic vision and hands-on ability to take the helm.
Behind this is actually a signal that the industry is undergoing profound changes. The glory of traditional fuel vehicles is gradually fading, and new energy vehicles and smart cars are becoming the darlings of the new trend.
As a leader in intelligent technology, Huawei will not miss this train.
Yu Chengdong's shift in focus just shows Huawei's determination in the field of smart cars.
After all, the HarmonyOS ecosystem is at the core of Huawei's strategy, creating a fully connected, intelligent travel experience that covers multiple aspects such as operating systems, intelligent cockpits, and autonomous driving.
In other words, Huawei's goal is to make the car not only a means of transportation, but also a mobile living space, integrated into people's daily life, and realize the seamless connection between people, vehicles, and homes.
But then again, Huawei's road to smart cars is not an easy one.
For example, the smart car market is fiercely competitive, and domestic and foreign brands such as Tesla, BYD, and Xpeng are all running hard, and Huawei still has a long way to go if it wants to stand out in this competition.
Therefore, Yu Chengdong's sudden resignation as CEO may be Huawei's accumulation of strength for the acceleration of the smart car business and the preparation for Huawei's leadership on the new track.
Imagine that in the near future, when we talk about smart cars, we may see that Huawei's cars not only have a top-level intelligent driving experience, but also can achieve seamless connection with multiple scenarios such as smart homes and smart cities, realizing the "Internet of Everything" in a true sense.
At that time, Yu Chengdong stood on the stage again, with his trademark passion and confidence, to announce to the world that Huawei is "far ahead" in the field of smart cars, and what an exciting moment it will be. If you have anything to say about this, remember to share it and write down your opinion!
