乐生活In an interview with The Economist, Ren Zhengfei’s answer to Huawei’s "list of entities" may be more direct than the questioner expected:
By August of this year, the cumulative increase of income was 19.7%. Profit was flat with that of last year, but there was no increase. Income growth rate was declining, about 30% at the beginning of the year, 23% in the middle of the year and 19.7% in August.
Profit has not increased, mainly because of the dramatic increase in strategic investment. We have added thousands of employees, all of whom are high-quality talents, such as some talented young people and recent PhD graduates, who come mainly to mend the "holes" that we have been punctured by the list of entities. Now from 5G to the core network, the "hole" of the network has been filled. The "hole" of the terminal still needs some time to be repaired.
We still want to continue using Android, and we are still very friendly with Google. If the U.S. government does not allow us to use it, we also have alternatives, but if we want to replace it, it will take two or three years to complete.
Our operating system was not originally developed for mobile phones, and Google’s operating system is open source, and we will continue to use it. What we can’t use in the United States is Google’s GMS ecosystem, involving tens of millions of partners, and Huawei can’t replace it in a day or two.
If the U.S. government approves US to continue using the Google ecosystem, American companies will monopolize the world; if the U.S. government does not approve, American companies will become less competitive in the world.
However, there are many sensitive topics in the question of The Economist. Every one is thrilling and exciting. Ren Zhengfei is not only a fluent answer, but also a favorite interviewer.
