Over the past decade, Huawei has led many industry firsts and launched many leading products and technologies. Yu Chengdong looks forward to the next decade, and Huawei will continue to adhere to its smart all scenario strategy, focusing on industries, products, and features.

 

In this regard, Huawei will continue to increase research and development investment, break through from the root technology, and focus on four major scenarios: personal intelligence, office intelligence, travel intelligence, and whole house intelligence. Among them, mobile phones should focus on six core functions, strengthen their strengths, and achieve world leadership; The Zhixuan car business utilizes Huawei's years of technological accumulation and management capabilities to help car companies build and sell good cars, establish the Hongmeng Zhixing Ecological Alliance, and achieve commercial success.

 

He also mentioned that 2024 is a crucial year for native HarmonyOS, and we need to accelerate the development of various HarmonyOS native applications, focusing on winning the two most challenging battles of technology foundation and third-party ecosystem.

 

It is worth mentioning that on December 29, 2023, Huawei's rotating chairman Hu Houkun delivered a New Year's speech, stating that it is expected to achieve sales revenue of over 700 billion yuan in 2023, with better than expected terminal business and significantly improved competitiveness in intelligent automotive solutions.

The road to victory is by no means smooth sailing, without going through the night or dawn. In the past few years, faced with round after round of sanctions and suppression, the tenacious terminal soldiers did not waste the opportunity of this crisis, but instead burst out with greater energy.

With the strong support of the company and its sister departments, we worked together, fought bravely, broke through the encirclement, and defended the glory of the Iron Army.
