How big is the gap between ZTE and Huawei?

according to Huawei's basic law, Huawei focuses on telecom manufacturing, and will not conduct mixed operation and diversification in the foreseeable future. Ren Zhengfei, the boss of Huawei, called this strategy "pressure principle" or "concentrating superior forces to fight annihilation". It is the result of Ren Zhengfei's study and practice of Mao Zedong Thought. In fact, it was very successful. Huawei has basically established its position as the world's number one in the field of telecommunications, and the number of patents it owns ranks among the best in the world. Far behind domestic counterparts. However, Zhongxing Telecom and Hou Weigui have chosen a different path, that is, diversification. Of course, it is not necessarily the "Yuliang Complex" that detours to other fields because the direct competition is not as good as Huawei, but Hou Weigui's strategic choice. Although "all roads lead to Rome", bloggers disagree with Hou Weigui's strategy. Throughout the history of telecommunications in the world, not many companies have been able to mix operations and do a good job in telecommunications. Siemens is an exception, once brilliant. However, now that Siemens is a defeated army, how can it win? Siemens has basically completely withdrawn from the telecommunications industry, and the tragedy is over! Doing telecommunications wholeheartedly is still treading on thin ice. How can mixed operation win? (II) Huawei Internationalization VS ZTE's "Defending the Home" In fact, before Huawei made a large-scale breakthrough in the international market, the gap between Huawei and ZTE was not very big, basically an arithmetic order of magnitude, with a difference of only tens of percent. When Huawei broke through the international market in an all-round way, that is, after entering 2, Huawei's advantage over ZTE was rapidly widened by geometric orders of magnitude. This cruel reality reflects the strategic differences between the two companies. Since 1995, Huawei has continuously invested astronomical sums of money to explore the international market. As the overseas founder of Huawei, bloggers participated in planning and operating the creation of Huawei's entire global overseas market. Hard work, difficult steps, bloody battles. Every step needs not only the dedication of the whole team, but also the continuous investment of Ren Zhengfei. Huawei invested HK$ 2 million in the Hong Kong Telecom Exhibition in 2, and in the case of the Russian financial crisis and the bankruptcy of all banks in 1998, Ren Zhengfei not only did not withdraw from Russia, but increased Huawei's investment in Russia. These are things that ZTE and Hou Weigui can't understand and do. ZTE, like other China companies, withdrew from the Russian market in 1998, so it can't reap the huge profits of Huawei in Russia of more than $1 billion a year. ZTE has been doing the international market for years, but it has never been able to give up its dependence on the China market. Insufficient investment and lack of senior international talents are also important reasons. (3) Huawei's "capital operation is industry" VS ZTE's "equal emphasis on capital operation and industry" In the dictionaries of Huawei and Ren Zhengfei, there is basically no such word as "capital operation". Huawei does not do pure capital operation. Joint ventures or selling assets are actually aimed at making the industry and main business bigger and stronger. However, it is precisely because of this guiding ideology that the effect of Huawei's capital operation is surprisingly good. Selling a power workshop "Huawei Electric" to EMMERSON earned a net profit of 6 billion yuan. Huawei's sale of H3C shares earned a net income of 6.8 billion yuan. These are the benefits that ZTE can't get from "selling the whole ZTE (IPO)". (4) Huawei 3G focuses on W and ZTE focuses on TD. On the 3G standard, Huawei focuses on the European standard WCDMA, while ZTE attaches importance to TD-SCDMA. Although ZTE has won the largest market share in TD bidding, bloggers are not optimistic about the commercialization of TD, mainly because Datang and ZTE are not able to do such a world standard well, and there is insufficient marketization in the development of TD. Therefore, it is also a question how much actual benefits ZTE can get from TD. It may also be able to get some benefits, but it will not fundamentally improve its status behind Huawei. PHS and Unicom Phase II are a favorable evidence! Huawei's firm internationalization begins with the 3G strategy. Huawei may have the last laugh, and it has already started to get huge profits from W orders from all over the world! (5) Huawei "does not need the mayor to find the market" VS ZTE "pays attention to the mayor's market" Huawei deliberately pursues the strategy of keeping a distance from the government, and ZTE is still in the stage of relationship marketing. There is a big gap, which can be seen in ZTE's Philippine crisis three months ago. It is a good thing that ZTE attaches importance to the relations between governments of various countries. However, there is a great difference between the western market and the domestic market, and it is suggested that ZTE should be more market-oriented. This is the internationalization of marketing concept. Bloggers don't want to criticize ZTE, but just want to make such a suggestion to ZTE here. Bloggers hope that ZTE and Huawei, like McDonald's and KFC, or Coca-Cola and Pepsi, will survive! (VI) Huawei "opposes opportunism" VS ZTE "utilitarianism and pragmatism" Ren Zhengfei has always opposed opportunism. It is a case for PHS. Although ZTE and UT made a lot of money on PHS, they didn't add core competitiveness to the two companies in the end. (VII) Huawei will never go public VS ZTE A 2 H Huawei will never go public, while ZTE is keen on IPO and even A2H. Huawei is not listed, but all employees hold shares, everyone is a shareholder, and ZTE is listed, but few employees hold decent shares. The main income of Huawei executives comes from dividends, and many ZTE employees seem to be far from dividends. Whether it's about motivation or employees' comments! I wish Huawei ZTE and Shenzhen Gemini will always complement each other. I don't want Huawei to stand out and cover the sky for a day!
