However, it is certain that Wang Xuehong, who shines as a Chinese female entrepreneur, has become an irreplaceable Chinese symbol in the world IT field.

Women's dreams and strength

As a female entrepreneur, Wang Xuehong not only established a number of successful IT companies including VIA Technologies, HTC and others, but also played an active role in the global business community with a global outlook, sense of responsibility and mission without borders. The right to speak in the economic field encourages women to exercise their creativity and pursue their dreams.

For 4 years, the ABAC Women's Forum has achieved remarkable achievements. On November 14, 2013, the APEC Women Leaders Summit kicked off in Beijing.

Her own dream, "to believe the power of dreams.Now is VIA, or HTC, my most valued, has always been the product of innovation and value, because it is the key to a sustainable business. We have been committed to Innovation as the driving force, master the core technology, leading the development direction of the smart phone industry, and ultimately the successful realization of the Chinese dream. "Wang Xuehong said. Of course, she did it too.

Innovation and persistence of Iron Maiden

If you must use some two words to describe Wang Xuehong, then "innovation", "insist" must be the best interpretation of her character. The industry was hailed as "crazy innovator" HTC is her interpretation of this spirit of the largest position. HTC brand, from the date of birth, has been marked with "innovation" brand, from the first Microsoft smartphone, the first Andrews phone, the first 3G mobile phone to the first 4G Android phone Etc., HTC innovation has never stopped. This is a Chinese innovation, a Chinese innovation, a firm belief in the blood of HTC.

In early 2013, HTC brought a hitherto unimaginable HTC One (M7) to consumers of smartphones around the world, a product that offered all the praise. One year later, HTC once again used HTC One (M8) to cause another industry "big shock" that conveyed the true meaning of flagship smartphones to the industry and consumers alike. Its metal-integrated body design brings extraordinary texture comparable to super luxury, the first Duo Camera Dual Lens 3D stereo camera with a unique technology concept to achieve the class "light field camera" professional camera effect; Motion Launch smart sensor And Dot View smart Li Xianghong protect each other, so that users and the ideal of "smart life" one step closer. HTC One (M8) released a few days, setting a reputation for word of mouth and sales, proving HTC really "doing right thing."

When the amazing HTC One (M8) appears in front of people, we can not help but think that making all-metal, unparalleled double-lens and tiny precision sensors of extreme difficulty and making these innovations into products with perfect experience Not everyone understands the innovation and effort behind this, but at any rate, HTC does it. Some people may ask, since so difficult, HTC so desperately innovative in the end for what? In this regard, Wang Xuehong also has her own thoughts: "Since joining the field of high-tech has been cautious, do not know is back. We have to high-tech The field has more core technology, in order to have the right to speak, have a broader space for development. "HTC understands that having the core technology is not enough, in order to obtain rapid development, consumers are the key. To meet the endless innovation needs of consumers, it must deliver the best experience to its consumers by "landing" its core technology, that is, by delivering innovative products to every consumer.

"Chinese people must have core technology"

People who should be aware of should all know that Wang Xuehong at every international conference will say such a sentence: "We Chinese people have their own core technology, have their own brand, we must adhere to the best innovation." This is almost Become Wang Xuehong another life motto.

As early as two or three years ago, HTC has been the United States well-known magazine Business Week named the world's top 100, the top five technology companies in Asia. One of the 50 most innovative companies in the world in 2010 was Fast Company, the authoritative magazine in the United States, and MIT Technology Review at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At the same time, it has become the only mobile phone manufacturer among the top 100 brands in the world. HTC can achieve such a brilliant record, in addition to the elite team led by Wang Xuehong, ODM, OEM era has accumulated the strength of science and technology, more importantly, HTC always adhere to the spirit of innovation and precision of core technology research and development. Quoting Wang Xuehong's words: "I just wanted to make the core technology that belongs to China and let the international community know that we Chinese can in fact do better than anyone in the world. This is my Chinese heart, Chinese love, Chinese dream. "

In the global mobile terminal market, technology monopolies and patent disputes occur frequently. China has the world's largest smartphone, but also because of technology, industrial chain, industry environment and other reasons, has always been in the international arena. Wang Xuehong also said: "If there is no innovative core technology, we will face the situation is always to others to buy." At this time, every Chinese should think about one problem is: the industry giants in smart phones The market struggles to fight, to seize market share, how Chinese IT companies can shine in the international arena fever. In this regard, Wang Xuehong has its own set of views, she said: "I hope that the core technology can be controlled by China itself, so that our innovation and our supply chain can not be checked by others. China is so big, why can not we do it ourselves Core Technology."

"My insistence, from my father and God"

In Xue-Hung Wang, we saw a woman's amazing power. Although being the daughter of Wang Yongqing, the "god of business" in Taiwan, Wang Xuehong did not choose to inherit her father's profession but started a thorny start-up path. Although hard work in this way, but Wang Xuesheng to her innate insistence, optimism, holding the faith of the Lord devout, cloned. When others asked about this past, she always indifferent smile: "In times of difficulty, I will think of my father; there is God, I am the parents and God common child."

In Wang Xuehong's opinion, innovation is a journey that HTC must go. However, she also said frankly that innovation should be adhered to, but persistence is a cost. This is not an easy process, but the persistence of faith remains unchanged. Although insisting on innovation does allow enterprises to increase their costs in the short run, because all the things in the process of innovation must be developed by themselves, the cost of time, manpower and material resources will increase, and the relative profit will decrease. But as a dream Enterprises, to be able to accept this challenge, we must insist, if we persist, we will succeed. "

Wang Xuehong has always believed that "every consumer should be satisfied, not a product to meet all consumers." This is actually HTC has always insisted the direction of an open mind to create an innovative model belonging to HTC. Wang Xuehong often said: "I am a Chinese and I am a Christian with Chinese heart." And the phrase "humility before honor" naturally became her motto. HTC should be humble every time, humble, pragmatic to see everything, and then to progress, to listen to the voices of consumers to hear what consumers need, insist on innovation, in order to bring the best user experience, This is HTC's culture.

Perhaps in the eyes of everyone, Wang Xuehong will be very naturally labeled "rich second generation" label, but she is frank, "from small to large, I did not feel rich," but rather years of solitary experience created her Strong, independent, courageous personality, will lead VIA Intel challenge, but also set up HTC direct challenge Apple. Today, both VIA and HTC have become industry leaders, and through her own persistence and hard work, Wang Xuehong has become the most dazzling star in the global business community.
