New Glory’s Third Anniversary’ Zhao Ming Publishes a Long Article Since starting independently, there have been constant naysayers.

Celebrating Three Years of New Glory Zhao Ming Reflects on Journey with an Empowering New Article Despite Naysayers

【Mobile China News】 On November 17th, Honor celebrated its third anniversary of independence. Zhao Ming, CEO of Honor Terminal Co., Ltd, reflected on this milestone in a lengthy post on Weibo, saying: “Ever since the first day of Honor’s independent entrepreneurship, people have continuously told me that it’s impossible.

It’s deemed impossible to break free from inherent constraints, surpass industry-set boundaries, and shatter the world’s existing knowledge. But Zhao Ming disagrees, stating that this is not how the world was originally destined to be. The world is vast. Therefore, during the challenging early stages, Honor wholeheartedly invested in the development of platform-level AI. In the fiercely competitive market for cost-effectiveness, Honor delved into foldable screen technology from scratch, exploring multidisciplinary fields in order to break through into the millimeter era. In the pursuit of being industry pioneers, Honor made breakthroughs in eye-protecting screens and Qinghai Lake batteries, based on user value, opening up a new blue ocean in the industry chain…

Now, Honor has become a leader in the foldable screen field, achieving dual dominance in the Chinese smartphone market and the foldable screen market. Overseas market growth has exceeded 200%, and profitability has been achieved within two years.

Zhao Ming jokes that whenever we achieve a little success, there are always people in the comments on my Weibo saying, “Zhao Ming woke up and there’s another drawing stuck in his door crack.” Indeed, we have taken away some of the most precious assets – we have taken away a group of people, a group who don’t believe in predetermined fate, refuse to be defined by others, and share common beliefs and pursuits, eager to create the best consumer experience through products. Once again, we have made a collective effort to establish a globally recognized iconic tech brand that will go from China to the world.

For reference, on November 18, 2020, Huawei officially sold related businesses and assets of the Honor brand and no longer holds any shares.

Unbeknownst to us, three years have passed. Ever since the first day of Honor’s independent entrepreneurship, people have continuously told me that it’s impossible. It’s deemed impossible to break free from inherent constraints, surpass industry-set boundaries, and shatter the world’s existing knowledge. The sight of towering mountains can evoke awe in anyone, making the world feel small, and Honor feels powerless to overcome it. But this is not how the world was originally destined to be. The world is vast.

Therefore, during the challenging early stages, we wholeheartedly invested in the development of platform-level AI. In the fiercely competitive market for cost-effectiveness, we delved into foldable screen technology from scratch, exploring multidisciplinary fields in order to break through into the millimeter era. In the pursuit of being industry pioneers, we made breakthroughs in eye-protecting screens and Qinghai Lake batteries, based on user value, opening up a new blue ocean in the industry chain. In the eyes of skeptical European operators, we have overdelivered on our promises with product delivery and user experience. Three years later, we are delighted to see Honor grow into a leader in the foldable screen field, achieving dual dominance in the Chinese smartphone market and the foldable screen market. Overseas market growth has exceeded 200%, and profitability has been achieved within two years. We are about to launch a self-developed $700 million parameter-end AI large model and new cloud services, bringing intelligent experiences to each user. The world is truly vast, large enough to encompass all technological idealism dreams. Whenever we achieve a little success, there are always people in the comments on my Weibo saying, “Zhao Ming woke up and there’s another drawing stuck in his door crack.” Indeed, we have taken away some of the most precious assets – we have taken away a group of people, a group who don’t believe in predetermined fate, refuse to be defined by others, and share common beliefs and pursuits, eager to create the best consumer experience through products. Once again, we have made a collective effort to establish a globally recognized iconic tech brand that will go from China to the world. For three years, there have been challenges and setbacks. After emerging from the initial year’s smile curve, we also faced development bottlenecks after rapid growth, having to confront fluctuations in the industry and a decline in market share. During each period of self-correction and perseverance, my team and I have laughed at ourselves, but at the moment we unveiled the Magic V2 foldable screen, many of my colleagues shed tears. Not because of success, but because of belief. I believe the greatest achievement in these three years is the growth of the team. We have gained the courage to conquer all inner demons and experienced the joy that only challengers can have, seeing the expansive sky we have longed for. Perhaps this is the technological romanticism that only “science and engineering nerds” possess. Three-year-old Honor, in the face of the mainstreaming of foldable screen forms and the technological revolution triggered by AI large models, has entered an era in the intelligent terminal industry transitioning from “intelligence” to “wisdom,” as well as a new stage of globalization in the grand voyage era. We are eager and full of confidence. Our platform-level AI, combining edge and cloud, will comprehensively enhance the productivity and creativity of consumers, creating more personalized applications that understand and prioritize their needs. We will have more diverse foldable screen products and, with the support of ecological partners and AI, deliver more imaginative interactive experiences. We will spare no effort in creating the European “second local market,” setting an example for high-end products globally. We will actively resonate with the global industrial chain, leading the direction of the industry’s development in the new technological revolution, and becoming a force of China that opens up a new phase of globalization. We will also remain firmly committed to creating value for consumers and using technology to unlock a more imaginative future. The world is vast; let us run together with dreams, stay grounded, and forge a broad sky for our limitless lives! To all colleagues in the Honor team and friends of Honor, on the occasion of Honor’s third anniversary, thank you!
