With the advent of the 5G era, Huawei has ushered in its highlight moment
, leading the world with the largest number of patents.
But what many Chinese netizens don’t know is that
China’s communications field was not dominated by Huawei alone, but there were four powerful communications companies. These companies were powerful at the time. Quite, they are also called "Great China" by Chinese people
So what are the origins of these companies and how are they developing now?
The glory of Julong Communications and Datang Telecom History
In terms of personnel strength, the founding teams of Julong Communications and Datang Telecom can be said to be the best among the best.
The founder of Julong Communications, Wu Jiangxing, is an academician of the Academy of Engineering. Most of its right-hand assistants are academicians of the two academies or famous scientists in the field of domestic communications. Julong Communications is also co-founded by several well-known domestic state-owned enterprises.
It can be said that both in terms of technical strength and economic strength. , Julong Communications has advantages that other companies cannot match.
And Datang Telecom’s origins are not simple. Its predecessor was the Institute of Telecommunications Science and Technology under the Academy of Posts and Telecommunications.
Datang Telecom is a serious member of the national team, and its scientific and technological strength cannot be underestimated
In terms of technological achievements, both Julong Telecom and Datang Telecom mastered the most advanced technology in the country at that time. .
The 04 machine developed by Julong Communications was the first large-capacity digital program-controlled switch in mainland China. At that time, mainland communication companies generally used switches imported from abroad.
Julong Communications, which has an elite team, decided to break the foreign control and blockade of this technology, so they invested huge energy and funds, and finally broke the foreign blockade of this technology.
It can be said that the 04 machine had overwhelming technological advantages in the country at that time
Julong Communications
At its peak, the annual profit from the 04 machine technology exceeded 3 billion , this feat was regarded as an industry myth at the time
And Datang Telecom was no ordinary person. The TD-SCDMA machine it developed could be said to be unparalleled in the domestic market at that time. The state of God
. In the 3G era, Datang Telecom's TD-SCDMA machine successfully ranked among the top three domestic switches due to its superior performance.
How to become lonely
So why did the two once-so-splendid companies gradually decline or even disappear in China?
In fact, the decline process of the two companies
is also surprisingly consistent
First of all, it is the degeneration and corruption of the company's management
, resulting in a series of mistakes in the company's later operational decisions. For the communications industry that was undergoing rapid development and expansion, every decision made at that time was crucial.
Faced with the ever-changing and progressive market, both Julong Communications and Datang Telecom have adopted relatively conservative operating strategies. Instead of expanding their industry lines, they are thinking about how to make more money relying on existing technologies. Money
. After breaking away from the national system, the two companies began to gradually forget their original intentions.
Compared with how to make the company bigger and stronger, many people in the company management paid more attention to how to distribute benefits, so these two companies began to decline bit by bit.
Secondly,
Another reason for the decline of the two companies is that they are eager for quick success
and do not pay attention to technological innovation. In the later stages of the company's operations, both companies seemed to have forgotten that the reason for their success lay in continuous innovation.
After mastering advanced technology, the two companies began to gradually become evenly matched. They both believed that their technology was very advanced and could not be surpassed by their peers
. As a result, the two companies began to reduce their R&D investment, and instead focused their energy on how to use technology to obtain more benefits.
In the end, both companies paid the price for their arrogance and were gradually submerged in the torrent of history.
ZTE lost popular support due to compromise
As Julong Communications and Datang Telecom gradually declined, the domestic communications market gradually became stable.
Now The market is basically divided between Huawei and ZTE
. The two companies are basically the same in terms of technology, and their positioning and business plans are also similar. Therefore, the two companies have been in open and covert battles over the years, but there has never been a clear winner. Over the years, the two parties have competed with each other for market users, and have often gone to court over patent issues. Almost every bid will be conducted in the form of a price war, but in the end, each of them will win or lose.
However, what ultimately allowed Huawei to win was the blockade against Laos and the United States, which led to two completely different attitudes.
At that time, Laos and the United States took blockade actions against ZTE and Huawei at the same time. Not only did it vigorously reduce the market share of the two companies in many places in Europe and the United States, it also blocked the supply of related core technologies and important parts.
In the end, ZTE chose to compromise. ZTE and the United States wrote relevant agreements and paid a deposit of US$400 million to the United States. In the end, ZTE was able to unblock the country and its business returned to normal.
But
Huawei has never compromised. Although Huawei's business lines are currently being suppressed by the United States, Huawei has never given up resistance
Although Huawei The current situation is very difficult, but its persistence has won recognition and support from the domestic people.
On the other hand, ZTE, although its compromise was forced, its surrender of guns to the United States still caused ZTE to be criticized by domestic netizens.
Summary
In the end,
Huawei defeated all competitors with its amazing perseverance and dedication to technological innovation, reached the top in China, and became The strongest player in domestic communications field.
To sum up, the reason for Huawei's success is first of all
its persistence in science and technology
It has never given up the exploration of science and technology.
This is also the foundation for a technology company to settle down
. The second is
Amazing perseverance
When Huawei experienced difficulties in development, it never thought of giving up. Instead, it tried every means to overcome the difficulties, which made it what it is today. achievements.
During the great waves of China, why was Huawei the only one to have the last laugh?
Of the four major communications giants, there is now only a single seedling left. Why is Huawei so "strong"?
