HUAWEI CLOUD will not be listed, divested, or sold
Xu Zhijun said that Huawei Cloud wants to build a black land facing the digital world. The black land must not only plant trees for applications in all walks of life, but also Huawei’s own trees. “Huawei Cloud is gone, where do we plant our trees?”
Xu Zhijun pointed out that Huawei Cloud is both a loss-making business and a fast-growing business. Huawei has full strategic patience.
In 2017, Huawei officially announced its cloud business, initially targeting the five clouds in the world. Senior Vice President of Huawei, CEO of Huawei Cloud, and President of Consumer Cloud Services Zhang Ping An said in an interview with reporters on the 23rd that he is not too concerned about whether it is the world‘s five clouds, but hopes that global government and corporate users can use Huawei Cloud as a digital base. “Huawei has reshaped the connection of the world in the first thirty years. In the next thirty years, Huawei Cloud will build the cloud base of the intelligent world. The mission of Huawei Cloud in the future is to make the cloud ubiquitous and intelligent to build. The cloud base of the smart world is also the future strategic development direction of Huawei Cloud.”
Up to now, HUAWEI CLOUD has aggregated more than 2.3 million developers, more than 14,000 consulting partners, more than 6,000 technical partners, and more than 4,500 cloud market products. It has become an important platform for the digital transformation of Internet companies and traditional governments and enterprises. Globally, Huawei Cloud and its partner public clouds cover 27 regions and provide services to customers in more than 170 countries.
According to Gartner’s 2020 study, Huawei Cloud is the fastest-growing cloud in the IaaS market and has grown to become the second cloud service provider in China and the top five cloud service provider in the world.
Will not give up or sell the mobile phone business
Due to the US sanctions on Huawei, Huawei’s mobile phone business is in trouble. However, Xu Zhijun said that Huawei will not give up its mobile phone business, nor will it sell it, and is “working hard, working hard, and working hard.”
Xu Zhijun also said frankly that under the repeated sanctions by the United States, Huawei’s mobile phone business is facing huge challenges, such as the inability to provide 5G mobile phones. However, Huawei is still working hard with the goal of “getting the mobile phone business back on track in due course.”
“We hope that one day, global consumers, especially Chinese consumers, can still buy Huawei branded 5G mobile phones.” He said, “Everyone, wait a minute and see if we can achieve this goal.”
In response to rumors that the United States has approved US suppliers to sell automotive chips to Huawei, Xu Zhijun confirmed the matter. But he also clarified that it is only low-end chip licensing and has nothing to do with the mobile phone business.
Huawei chip rumors outside are all false news
After Huawei’s chip supply was cut off, various news of Huawei’s chip self-help came out, including rumors that it would build its own chip factory.
Xu Zhijun said that fake news is flying all over the sky. “All the news that you see now related to Huawei chips are all fake news, and none of them are true.”
Xu Zhijun said frankly that Huawei can’t get chips now. Although they can design them, no one can help them make them. Huawei is also working hard to solve the problem of chip manufacturing, which requires the joint efforts of China’s semiconductor industry, and it will take a lot of effort and a long time to solve it.
