Yu Chengdong transferred from the mobile phone business! Huawei's strategic retreat starts "Plan B"

With the rapid popularization of smart phones, especially affected by the wave of 5G replacement, Huawei's mobile phone business has already become Huawei's main business. In 20 19, Huawei's mobile phone shipments surpassed those of Apple, ranking second in the world. According to the data provided by Master Lu Data Center, in 2002, Huawei ranked first in the Android mobile phone market with a share of 19.66%. Huawei is favored by a large number of consumers around the world because of its close relationship with an executive of Huawei, that is, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business.

Yu Chengdong, who graduated from Tsinghua with a master's degree, 1993 joined Huawei. He has served as product director, vice president of wireless product industry sales, president of Europe, terminal company and CEO of consumer business, and has been called the most "war-fighting" person in Huawei by many pollen. Yu Chengdong has also been compared to a "sharp knife" by netizens. Where business needs to break through, where fighting is difficult, Yu Chengdong will basically be there. From the breakthrough of Huawei's operation business in the European market to the rapid rise of Huawei's mobile phones, Yu Chengdong plays an extremely important role.

However, Huawei officially announced that Yu Chengdong will gradually be transferred from Huawei's consumer business in February to become the president of Huawei's cloud and AI business, and be responsible for the administrative management team. Yu Chengdong was transferred from the mobile phone business, and was also considered by netizens as Huawei's strategic retreat to start Plan B!

Every era has its core technology. Ren Zeng has repeatedly publicly stated that 5G is only a pediatrics, and artificial intelligence is the general direction of future development and the breakthrough point of Huawei's future. Compared with Huawei's 5G operation business, Yu Chengdong's AI and cloud computing have a longer growth, and they are also recognized as incremental markets in the future, and are also called Huawei's "Plan B" by many people!

Huawei, which is mainly engaged in 5G operation and mobile phone business, is indeed slower in AI and cloud computing than companies such as Ali and Amazon in the professional field. In order to reduce Huawei's revenue pressure, Huawei must invest a lot of human resources to win this market as quickly as possible.

In the 5G era, "AI+ Cloud" is the future development trend, which will empower the trillion-dollar market of the Internet of Things. Whether it is smart home, smart medical care or wearable devices, almost all of them will be involved in the wave of AI and cloud. Huawei has moved Yu Chengdong from consumer business to AI and cloud business, and it must be said that Ren is indeed far-sighted. The strategic retreat is not to abandon the mobile phone business, but to comprehensively optimize Huawei's overall business.
