How to define the relationship between Huawei and Qualcomm? I think cooperation is greater than competition.
Let's talk about Qualcomm first. Qualcomm is an established leading company in the field of communication. Mastered a large number of technical patents in the 3G and 4G era. Even though everyone is transitioning to the 5G era, Qualcomm still has many low-level technologies. As long as you use the technology in the field of communication, you still can't escape from the clutches of Qualcomm!
Huawei's rise in the 5G era, and Huawei's partial lead in the 5G era, gives Huawei confidence to talk with Qualcomm at the negotiating table!
Recently, Huawei paid Qualcomm a patent fee of US$ 6,543.8+US$ 800 million. Judging from Qualcomm's financial report, all the money paid by Huawei has been paid.
Seeing this, many friends may ask, didn't Huawei draw with Qualcomm in the 5G era? Why pay Qualcomm? I think there are the following points for reference;
1, Huawei's latest Kirin chip inventory should be low. If 202 1 can't solve this problem, then Huawei's high-end mobile phone will definitely not come out.
When buying chips, you must also buy patents. Huawei's move is to let Qualcomm act as a lobbyist and let Qualcomm lobby some American technology companies to fully apply for lifting restrictions on Huawei. Of course, if Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip can be used by Huawei, it is also a good choice.
2. After entering the 5G era, Huawei has indeed mastered a large number of 5G patents. However, most of the patents are cross-patents, which are prone to controversy. If Huawei wants to collect fees from 5G patents in the future, it must solve its previous patent dispute with Qualcomm!
So the following questions came out. Since Huawei took the initiative to make peace, will Qualcomm really help Huawei? Let's try to make a simple analysis!
Shopping malls are cruel, but sometimes they are sincere! Because what can I say? We are all businessmen, and what we want is profit.
Qualcomm knows very well that Huawei is not the Huawei it used to be. If Qualcomm wants to vigorously develop its own 5G in the China market, it must establish a good relationship with Huawei. This can be seen from Qualcomm's CEO's previous praise of the development speed of China's 5G.
From the beginning, Qualcomm was very opposed to Huawei's restrictions, because Huawei's restrictions meant that the business of Qualcomm and other American technology companies would be restricted. Therefore, we have seen before that some chip factories, including Qualcomm, are actively applying for lifting the ban on Huawei, because they know very well that Huawei will have a hard time if it loses!
Earlier, Guo Ping, Huawei's rotating chairman, said that if Qualcomm can provide Huawei with mobile phone chips, Huawei can also use them.
Seeing this, many netizens are slightly disappointed! Because a large number of people support Huawei's mobile phone because Huawei uses its own Kirin chip, but now it wants to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip. If so, what is the significance of domestic chips headed by Huawei?
I think this view of netizens is too one-sided. As the saying goes, "a gentleman can bend and stretch, but a villain can't stand it"!
"Huawei is experiencing great difficulties now. The continuous suppression has brought great pressure to our business, and survival is our main line. " Guo Ping said.
In other words, if Huawei wants to develop well in the future, it is more important to go steadily than anything else!
Today's enemies can be tomorrow's friends! Any company that wants to become a world-class company must be driven by internal factors.
For Huawei, the external environment is changing at any time, sometimes good and sometimes bad. The biggest strength of Huawei's development comes from its own desire for technology.
As early as 10 years ago, Ren predicted today's writing. Ren said that since everyone has decided to do it, they should be prepared to compete with American technology companies in technology!
Since Huawei has long wanted to understand the problem, Huawei has already responded. Huawei's response is mainly reflected in the following three aspects;
1, Shanghai R&D Center
With the launch of the new construction project in Shanghai 152 in 2020, the most striking thing is the "Huawei Shanghai R&D Base", which ranks 33rd in the project list.
In Yu Chengdong's words, Huawei's 5G terminal chips and communication servers will all come from here. According to the news, Huawei smashed10 billion here.
2. Start the "Nanniwan" project
Nanniwan is to express and carry forward the spirit of self-reliance. Huawei's move is intended to evade products containing American technology. Huawei is accelerating its laptop (notebook computer) and smart screen business, which does not include American technology.
Self-reliance, down-to-earth, let the wasteland become fertile soil, thoroughly remould oneself. This is Nanniwan's mission!
3. Huawei builds domestic chip factory
Recently, some media broke the news that it will start with manufacturing low-end 45nm chips. Huawei aims to produce 28-nanometer chips for "Internet of Things" devices by the end of 20021and 20-nanometer chips for 5G telecom devices by 2022.
American technology companies have mastered the core technology of global semiconductors, and when others are unhappy, they always ban them.
Our ancestors told us long ago that people are allowed to snore and sleep beside the sofa? Since we don't want to take Huawei to play, Huawei will make every effort to build a "beautified" high-tech industrial route from now on, starting with the lowest-end technology.
Without self-reliance and self-sufficiency, it is impossible to last long. Any great company is often reborn in despair.
The historical trend is vast, those who follow it prosper, and those who go against it perish. At this time, Huawei is walking on this "broad road"! Let's bless Huawei and Zhongke!
