Ren Zhengfei announces that Huawei has established a "Coal Corps" to enter the coal industry

This article is reproduced from Xinsheng Community

Ren Zhengfei was interviewed by the media after the "Intelligent Mine Innovation Laboratory Unveiling Ceremony" in Taiyuan, Shanxi on February 9, 2021.

Ren Zhengfei: Let me briefly introduce it first.

Huawei's previous communications network mainly connected thousands of households and provided connections to billions of people. But in the 5G era, the main connection objects are enterprises, such as airports, docks, coal mines, steel, automobile manufacturing, aircraft manufacturing...

These are areas that we are not familiar with, so we have established joint laboratories in various fields to understand the needs of these industries.

This time we established a coal mine innovation laboratory in Shanxi, which is to use 5G for the improvement of mine services.

Now there are 220 experts in this laboratory, of which 53 are experts from Huawei, most of Huawei's experts are experts in electronic technology, and the other more than 150 are coal experts who have a better understanding of the coal industry in Shanxi. They formed a joint experiment. Room, implement a double responsibility system.

In terms of coal, leaders in the coal industry have a greater right to speak; in terms of electronics, Huawei leaders have a greater right to speak.

  • Xinhua News Agency Zhao Donghui: Hello, Mr. Ren. I am a reporter from Xinhua News Agency. You just held the unveiling ceremony this morning. Let me ask your first question:

Does Huawei want to broaden the main channel and achieve diversified development, and can it achieve irreplaceable advantages in every industry? Could you please talk about the life of the coal miners in your mind in the future?

Ren Zhengfei: First of all, we will not broaden our business environment. The coal industry and steel, terminals, and airports have the same basic platforms for 5G applications. There are some differences, but most of the technologies are common. Therefore, we are mainly expanding the application of electronic systems and software computing systems in different industries .

Our in-depth understanding of coal mines will enable our electronic systems and software systems to provide them with very good application services in the future. If the services we provide to coal mines are done well, just like Microsoft provides information services to aero engines, there is an excellent service module. Microsoft will not build engines, and we will not dig coal.

We can help the coal industry achieve "fewer people, no one, safety and efficiency", reduce the number of people in the intelligent coal mining face by 60%, and reduce the number of people entering the mine in a single shift by 10-20%. The coal industry welcomes us in the coal field Use electronic systems in.

In doing so, we not only develop ourselves, but also solve the problems of high-efficiency and safe production in coal mines , allowing coal miners to work in "suits and ties" , which may also lead to the development of coal mining machinery in Shanxi.

  • Agence France-Presse Dan Martin: Thank you Mr. Ren for meeting with us today. Mining is a very interesting industry. I very much hope to hear more information here, but I still want to come back and ask another question:

As far as I know, it has been a year since you last communicated with foreign media. A lot of things happened this year. There were reports about Huawei’s mobile phone shipments, and there was also not good news about Huawei’s expansion of 5G business in Europe.

A year ago you said that you were confident that Huawei would survive these challenges. One year later, do you still have the same confidence in Huawei? Still the confidence is not as good as before, why?

Ren Zhengfei: I have greater confidence in the survival of Huawei, not less, because we have more means to overcome difficulties. In 2020, our sales revenue and profit have achieved positive growth.

You are welcome to have the opportunity to visit Ningbo Port and take a look at the airports in Shenzhen, Dubai Airport, and German auto factories, all of which have made great progress because of our 5G services. Now we continue to gain the trust of a large number of customers.

We have launched the "Nanniwan" project. Foreign reporters may not know enough about the term "nanniwan", which actually refers to production and self-help.

For example, we may have made great breakthroughs in the fields of coal, steel, music, smart screens, PCs, and tablets.

Due to our lack of chip supply on high-end mobile phones, sales have declined, but we have supported the progress of iPhone12. The 5G mobile phone of iPhone12 has a downlink rate of 1.82G, which should be the best in the world.

High-end people in Europe like Apple phones very much. The use of iPhone 12 proves that Huawei's 5G networks in Berlin, Munich, Madrid, Zurich, Geneva, Amsterdam, Vienna, Barcelona, ​​Seoul, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Riyadh, etc. are the best in the world.

Europe has conducted a network evaluation, and our network is the world's first. High-end people in these countries have objectively proved that Huawei's 5G network service is the world's first through the use of Apple mobile phones, and has formed a good public opinion, making us less negative in Europe. 

On 5G applications, most of the world ICT companies have no choice of mine as a breakthrough, but we chose to mine the mountain.

China has more than 5,300 coal mines and more than 2,700 metal mines. If more than 8,000 mines can be completed, we may be able to provide services to mines all over the world. If you have the opportunity to visit Tianjin Port, the loading and transportation of Tianjin Port are close to unmanned. We hope that the mine will also become unmanned .

If we really achieve this step, it will be of great significance to Canadian and Russian mining in the Arctic Ocean .

The conditions in the tundra are extremely bad. People don’t want to live there. Such rich resources sleep there. If no one mines them, these resources will be mined, which will make a major contribution to human society. Why did we choose Shanxi as the starting point? Because the Shanxi Provincial Government is more active than us, if we succeed in the trial in Shanxi, the mining experience can be extended to the world.

Therefore, we can survive without relying on mobile phones.

  • Reuters David Kirton: After the spin-off of the Honor business, it gained further success because of the supply of chips. Is Huawei considering, or has it considered divesting some other business or product lines?

Ren Zhengfei: The divestiture of Honor is for upstream suppliers and downstream distributors. If they do not purchase parts and components from upstream suppliers, they will cause harm to suppliers in various countries; if they do not supply products to downstream channels, the channels will dry up, affecting a large number of jobs.

Therefore, stripping off glory is an action taken under circumstances forced by circumstances.

After the divestiture, Huawei did not honor a penny of stock. The larger their production scale, the more they squeeze the living space of Huawei's mobile phones, but we have to understand the needs of suppliers, channel providers, and users. You should restrain yourself and return to courtesy, restrain yourself, and follow the trend.

  • "Shanxi Daily" Liu Ruiqiang: Mr. Ren, hello, I am a reporter from "Shanxi Daily", I am grateful to Huawei for supporting the development of Shanxi.

What is the positioning of the smart mining laboratory jointly built by Huawei and Shanxi in Huawei's global layout? In what ways will the laboratory work hard after it is landed? What changes will Shanxi bring in the future? What is the vision? What plans will Huawei have in Shanxi in the future? Thank you!

Ren Zhengfei: We mainly contribute to thousands of coal mines and various mines in Shanxi. In the future, open-pit mines will use unmanned driving technology to realize unmanned mining in open-pit mines; Shanxi coal mines are generally well constructed. Most coal mines have already used mechanization, and a few coal mines have moved towards automation. We will apply ICT technology to mines. The most important thing is to help coal mines achieve intelligence .

For example, the current underground gas early warning and explosion-proof system in Shanxi is well done, but it needs to be connected by four wires, two power wires and two signal wires.

When we came in, the gas sensor no longer needed wires. The radio used for uplink transmission, and the battery used for power supply of the equipment, with a safety current standard of less than 6 mA. Not only can it be arranged at will in the tunnel, but as the mining machine advances arbitrarily, it does not need to slow down the mining movement of the mining machine due to the wiring, which improves the output capacity;

Use a small battery to power the gas alarm with low energy, and replace the battery once every 12-18 months. We will cooperate with Shanxi Coal System to promote the advancement of explosion-proof systems, and this product can also be promoted to the world.

  • Xinhua News Agency Zhao Donghui: When Huawei establishes a coal corps, does it want to enter the airport, wharf, and steel industries, and does it also need to establish a corps? Is it diversified development? Ask a personal question, at what age are you going to rest?

Ren Zhengfei: This mechanism is not only implemented in coal. Why is it called "legion"? The term "legion" comes from Google, and we learned from Google.

The "legion" is to bring together basic research scientists, technical experts, product experts, engineering experts, sales experts, delivery and service experts all in one department, shortening the cycle of product progress. The business is granulated, this is the "legion" model, this model comes from Google.

Ports and wharves have already begun to scale. Coal was the first to adopt the legionary model.

In the future, you can visit Shenzhen Airport, Shanghai Airport, Dubai Airport..., we have greatly shortened the airport scheduling time.

For example, when thunderstorms or various problems cause the airport to be completely chaotic, it usually takes 4 hours to re-arrange the position of the gallery bridge, but now it is arranged in a few seconds; and the taxiing time of each aircraft on the runway is saved. After 2 minutes, there are improvements in these areas.

You can also visit the Xiangtan Iron and Steel Plant. There is no one in front of the steelmaking furnace and rolling mill. It is true that workers "put on suits and wear rings" to make steel and roll steel in the control room.

With the use of VR and AR, the chemical composition in the steelmaking furnace can be seen with glasses. There is no need to take a spoon out for testing outside as in the past. This speeds up the steelmaking speed and enhances the ability of alloy steel. Steelmaking has taken the lead in realizing, and it is easier to solve than coal mines. 

The same goes for ports, Ningbo Port, Shekou Port..., most of the processes have been unmanned. Whether to implement the "legion" model in these areas depends on demand. A large number of airports and docks are mathematical problems, which are easy to solve; a large number of coal mines are physical and chemical problems, which are a new problem for us. 

Music, we also formed the "legion".

Why does everyone feel that the music is not good enough? Music has a very wide range. When listening to concerts live, it is in analog mode. Any treble and bass are transmitted. When we use electronic devices to listen to music, the bandwidth is not enough, so we must use compression methods to compress them into compact data packets. To spread, the bass and small sounds cannot be transmitted, and part of the treble is removed. Therefore, the spread of music is relatively dull.

After the emergence of the new ultra-wideband technology, it is possible to transmit the trace vibration sounds at both ends of the normal distribution together, achieving a high-fidelity effect.

Second, listening to music can also rely on ear bones instead of eardrums. We have made a lot of innovations, compressing various scientists such as acoustics into a team to form a new musical "legion". The best music player is Apple, which sells 20 billion U.S. dollars each year. Our earphones are estimated to be able to sell to 10 billion U.S. dollars after Apple in the future, and net profit will reach more than 3 billion U.S. dollars. Now the number one is Apple, and Apple is still a very great company.

Whether to become a "legion" mainly depends on whether scientists need to be incorporated into the front-line combat team. If necessary, use the "legion" model, and if not, use the matrix business module model.

  • Xinhua News Agency Zhao Donghui: At what age are you going to rest?

Ren Zhengfei: The key now is not when to retire, but what to do after retirement. My wife said "you can drink tea", I can drink tea in the morning, and I can't sleep if I drink tea in the afternoon. There are no items to entertain, so I can only continue to work for the time being. I hope you can help me create an entertainment project. I have a shortcoming, that is, I don't have any hobbies.

  • "South China Morning Post" Chen Si: The development path chosen by Anna Yao is quite different from that of Ms. Meng Wanzhou. As a father, which development path are you more satisfied with?

Ren Zhengfei: Every child has different hobbies. How can our parents control it? The child can take whatever way she wants, as long as she likes it. I didn't know anything about the literary industry before. Since she started in this industry, I have learned that being an artist is really hard, but she has no complaints or regrets, and her parents don't want to interfere with her.

  • Xinhua News Agency Zhao Donghui: Have you been avoiding the topic of diversified development?

Ren Zhengfei: Huawei will never diversify.

What we provide is a platform on which all kinds of "crops" can grow. The platform we provide for coal is the same as the platform we provide for telecommunications and transportation, and there is not much change. It's just that coal mines don't know how to use this platform now, so let's participate more so that they can use our platform. It's just that the platform sells a bit bigger, and there is no diversification.

  • "South China Morning Post" Chen Si: What is the topic you most want to talk about?

Ren Zhengfei: Common development. The United States wants economic development, and China wants economic development. Development will always benefit the society and the balance of finance. Everyone needs it. Human society is progressing, and no company in the world can complete a globalized industry alone, and it increasingly requires global joint efforts.
