Ren was at a luncheon meeting of the Huawei Consumer BG management team in mid-March this year clearly pointed out that Huawei terminal business should not blindly Samsung, Apple, millet as the standard enterprise: "First, we in a short period of vertical integration can not do apple; second, we can not integrate, Samsung is relying on national strength in support, We can't do Samsung, "so Huawei has to stick to its own path," and consumers ' BG is profit-centric, "Don't let the Internet cause fever."
At Huawei's 11th annual Global analyst Conference, Huawei's rotating CEO Zhijun also put "ruthless words": "Consumer BG because of 2013 years of success, there are impetuous tendencies, the need to reduce the temperature in advance, to sober awareness of who they are, where the future will go."
Yu said that Huawei will be the next to launch more than 3000 models, continue to enter the high-end products, "Huawei's premium capacity in the industry is now higher than other domestic brands, which is an advantage." "At the same time," the high profit of accessories in the industry is not a secret, Huawei will then increase in the field of accessories sales support.
In terms of branding, Yu said: "Huawei has only two paths in the future, either fast growth or death." And to rapid growth, the need to speed up the brand building, this year, Huawei Global brand goal is 60%, next year is 80%, only in this way will not die. ”
