Yesterday (March 3 1), Huawei announced its 2020 financial report. Affected by unfavorable factors such as unwarranted sanctions, Huawei's performance growth rate has slowed down, but it still maintains contrarian growth. At the same time, Huawei's investment in R&D reached a new high, and the per capita annual salary of employees reached 700,000 yuan.
Under heavy pressure, Huawei once again grew against the trend.
Huawei's annual report shows that in 2020, Huawei achieved a global sales revenue of 89 1.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.8%. This scale is equivalent to the Huawei products worth 1 hour sold worldwide in the past year. On the other hand, if this figure is put into the A-share market, it will not only maintain the position of "leader" in private enterprises, but also be a well-deserved leader in the physical manufacturing industry.
In terms of products, Huawei did not announce the sales of mobile phones last year. However, its products such as tablet computers and smart wearable devices have achieved substantial growth, and the sales of these two types of products have increased by as much as 65%.
"Because we have been unfairly sanctioned by the United States, our business has indeed been affected." It is reported that since September last year, the United States officially listed Huawei in the so-called "entity list" and comprehensively "blocked" Huawei in the fields of chip manufacturing.
Hu, the rotating chairman of Huawei, was also verified in the annual report. Huawei's overseas business is the most affected. Huawei's revenue in Europe and other regions decreased by 12.2% year-on-year, and the decline in the Americas was the most obvious, with a year-on-year decrease of 24.5%. However, it is worth mentioning that Huawei remains strong in the domestic market, with revenue increasing by 15% year-on-year.
It is reported that at present, Huawei's business covers 170 countries and regions, serving more than 3 billion people worldwide. "With the gradual control of the epidemic, we believe that the revenue forecast of Huawei 202 1 outside China will also be optimistic." Hu said:
The per capita annual salary is 700,000! R&D remains Huawei's "core competitiveness"
In addition to steady growth, the most striking thing in this financial report is Huawei's investment in R&D. The financial report shows that in 2020, Huawei's R&D investment reached a new high, reaching1.41.90 billion yuan, accounting for 1.5% of the annual revenue.
According to statistics, in the past decade, Huawei has invested more than 720 billion yuan in R&D expenses, accounting for more than 15% of the company's total revenue. This ratio is almost unique among global peers. Previously, Apple, which once ranked first in the world, invested only 5% of its revenue in R&D. ..
At the same time, the total number of talents who were praised by Huawei's founder as Huawei's "core competitiveness" reached a new high. At present, Huawei has about 10.5 million R&D personnel, accounting for 53.4% of the total number of the company.
Huge investment has also brought rich returns. According to the annual report data, Huawei is currently one of the largest patent holders in the world. By the end of 2020, there were more than 654.38+million valid patents in the world, and more than 90% of the patents were invention patents.
Hu revealed that Huawei currently has197,000 employees. According to the financial report data, Huawei will spend as much as 1, 396,543.8+billion yuan on salary and other benefits in 2020. Simply calculated, the average annual salary of Huawei employees has reached 700,000 yuan, and the monthly salary of 58,800 yuan is "up" compared with last year, with a range of about 3%.
In addition to the very direct salary level, Huawei also has many "fancy" incentives. On the basis of the well-known "employee stock ownership", Huawei also has a delayed plan and a fixed retirement plan, so that employees can have high resource protection while struggling.
Denying rumors, Huawei does not raise pigs or build cars.
For the future development, Huawei has also made a lot of responses.
Previously, the network rumored that Huawei was entering the field of pig raising. In this regard, Hu gave a clear denial. Hu said that Huawei has not changed its business direction because of sanctions and other factors. Huawei's future business direction is still to focus on ICT infrastructure and continue to focus on cloud, data and computing. Huawei will not increase the "deviation" business such as raising pigs for the time being.
Although it is common for giants to build cars, "building cars behind closed doors" is obviously not the direction of Huawei's efforts. However, although Huawei does not build cars, it still has a role in the field of smart cars.
Hu said that Huawei's positioning for the auto industry is to become a competitive supplier of smart auto parts. In the future, Huawei will provide services and assistance to car companies in the fields of car networking, intelligent cockpit, autonomous driving, voice interaction and power management. "This positioning has not changed today. We are helping car companies make good cars. "
"202 1 is a year in which opportunities and challenges coexist. On the one hand, we see the opportunity of social digitalization. On the other hand, we also realize that there are obstacles and difficulties on the way forward. " Nonsense, "Huawei should maintain its strategic strength and do its own thing well. Innovative enterprises like Huawei are valuable in the innovation of human society. "
