Weisheng Group Wang Xuehong: Shoulders, Shoulders, Pride, Independence And Rebellion.

Wang Xuehong, 52, is called "the most powerful woman in the world of science and technology" by New York Times.

Her father Wang Yongqing sent her to a Jewish homestay in San Francisco, America when she was 15 years old, and then began her independent life and personal grope.

Wang Yongqing would never have dreamed that this girl who loved music at last would become a champion of the world's technology circles, and Intel and the global technology leader.

Just six days before Wang Xuehong's mother's Memorial.

Compared with NOKIA and SONY and more than half a century's brand, Wang Xuehong only started 15 years ago to encourage Zhuo Huo Tu and Zhou Yongming to set up HTC together to launch the HTC brand.

Since then, smart phone products that did not exist in the past have been pushed to the market one by one.

In the first quarter of this year, HTC has launched more than ten new machines. These phones, in addition to consolidating the battlefield of high-end aircraft, continue to strengthen the layout of the mid end aircraft, and create the most complete smart phone "full product line" in the global market at present.

If Goldman Sachs recommends HTC's "buy" rating according to Goldman's research report, HTC's target price will reach $1400 in the next half year, when HTC's market value will surpass Foxconn Technology Group (Hon Hai Group).

In the world's most competitive technology industry, the market value of HTC has grown 30 times in the past five years, which is legendary indeed.

Technology and religion are real because they believe.

In those days, father Wang Yongqing sent Wang Xuehong to study in the United States because "the world changed". Wang Yongqing used to send her children to England to study, such as the eldest son Wang Wenyang, the long queen GUI Yun and so on. But the same thing is that Wang Yongqing asked every child to have a family book, only then had the living expenses, the children answered the letter, and also reported what money had been spent. According to Wang Xuehong, "even buy a toothpaste is also written up."

One of Wang Yongqing's beliefs is that "educating our children depends on the strength of the environment".

He thinks that everything in the world can be done by oneself. Only children's education is hard for parents to wishful thinking.

The reason why children are sent abroad is Wang Yongqing's "independence".

This "independence" came to Wang Xuehong when she started her business. The daughter did not borrow a cent from Wang Yongqing at the beginning of her business. Instead, she used her mother's house to borrow money from the bank.

Yang Jiao, a Christian mother, said goodbye to Wang Yongqing's life in America in 1980. Her mother's firm belief replaced her father's power and became the mainstay of her children's life and the spiritual strength to strive for the best.

Wang Xuehong's elder sister Wang Xueling and his brother-in-law Jen Ming Ren first created the "public computer". Wang Xuehong was in charge of the business, and later became the top five computer brands in Taiwan. As Wang Yongqing's grandson Chen Zhu said, "my grandmother Yang Jiao secured five million yuan for the house of Jinzhou Street in Taipei, which aided him to start a business. If there were no mass computers, there would be no great power; without Vincent, there would be no HTC."

But for the market, the success of HTC has nothing to do with Weisheng and Volkswagen computers, which is the trend of smart phones.

In fact, three years ago, when Apple launched smart phones, all analysts were pessimistic about the future of HTC, saying that HTC would be knocked out by BlackBerry and apple, not to mention NOKIA Mobile has been heavily deployed in the layout of the communication network.

Just when the market thinks that HTC will be expelled from the market, Wang Xuehong firmly points out that "the difference between us and apple is mainly in the ability of marketing, not the ability to innovate."

It means that HTC's product function is not lost to apple, but HTC is not hungry for marketing like apple.

Before 2007, most people in the world had never heard of the HTC brand. Even though many Windows Mobile smartphones were designed and manufactured by HTC, they were all branded by European and American operators, such as BT, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Orange of the United States. At the most, only a small row of HTC was placed on the back of the mobile phone. It is hard for consumers to know that this phone is made by HTC.

"I have a dream, but I am also very pragmatic."

Wang Xuehong knows very well that although HTC's product power does not lose to other big factories, it is very easy to make HTC's electricity consumption lose its vitality if it wants to brand in different countries.

So in the early days of HTC, operators always followed the operators to launch different mobile phones, supplemented by different preferential payment schemes.

The service outlet of telecom operators has become the best way to sell HTC mobile phones.

HTC's cooperation is also in line with the needs of operators' pformation. Because the latter wants to earn more service charges than voice calls, Microsoft hopes to replicate its advantages over PC in mobile phones, so they can fully promote HTC's smart phone to increase the possibility of more services.

There is no star charm of Jobs, but Wang Xuehong, with solid products and careful cooperation with global telecom operators, is the first key for HTC to beat NOKIA.

Why can HTC choose the right strategy?

It's because of pragmatism! "

Yang Shengfan, director of Taiwan Institute of topological industry, pointed out.

Wang Xuehong's pragmatic side is revealed from the major decisions made at University of California at Berkeley.

She had always loved classical music, and spent a lot of energy on piano practice. She dreamed of being a composer and entered the music department when she entered Berkeley, but she changed her mind only after three weeks of learning.

"I write for myself, but it takes a long time to write a sentence, but others jump out."

Wang Xuehong observed her classmates in depth. She suddenly realized that she was "very unrealistic". Later, she talked with her friends about this turning point: "all great musicians have two universals, one is very earnest, two is very talented; I find that I just don't have this day."

She said that the top pianists are just like tennis stars. Only a few of the world's best players are unrealistic if they think they are one of them.

In any case, it is hard to give up the dream and goal of the young age. But after a long talk with her tutor, Wang Xuehong resolutely pferred to the economic department. This is her rebellion against Wang Xuehong and her destiny.

The unique atmosphere of freedom between the United States and Berkeley supports Wang Xuehong's loyalty to himself.

On campus, Wang Xuehong immersed herself in the atmosphere of free learning. She liked to spend the whole day in the library, reading Eugene ONeil's plays and the long story of the British writer Dickens. "I always have a lot of time in the United States, so I want to try everything."

Wang Xuehong recalls that although she was in the Department of economics, she often listened to the course of Bai Xianyong, a writer in Taiwan.

Independent personality, coupled with the baptism of freedom and multiculture, enables Wang Xuehong to jump out of environmental constraints and think more about Platform.

The so-called platform, including the development direction of the technical specifications, the change of eco-system, and the selection of the platform is the second important key for HTC to surpass NOKIA.

Five years ago, when smart phones began to grow, most of the share of the communication software market platform was occupied by NOKIA's Symbian platform and blackberry RIM. But Wang Xuehong chose the platform development of less than 5% of the Windows platform, which means putting the personal computer software window platform on the phone, so that the operation can be perfectly integrated with the communication.

"At that time, we saw the direction of smart phone development and moved to higher order computing."

HTC executive director Zhou Yongming confidently said, because other platforms are too simple.

Too simple a platform can not meet the needs of consumers.

What is the "right platform" for HTC?

That is to integrate enough software and applications.

This is the challenge of engineers.

In order to really integrate software, HTC's software R & D engineers changed from three hundred to five hundred, then from five hundred to one thousand, one thousand to two thousand, three thousand.

Wang Xuehong once remembered that when Bill Gate saw the smart phone developed by HTC, he said, "you are the greatest Hard Suits Inc!"

She thought at the time that Gates did not want to admit that HTC had caught up with him. He took it for granted that Microsoft was the greatest software company, so the greatest Hard Suits Inc should be the highest praise.

Choose the most difficult thing to do, besides vision, and perseverance.

Wang Xuehong's Mr. Chen Wenqi told New York Times that his wife would never give up when he was strong, he would strive for the change he wanted to achieve.

In order to develop a palm computer with a thickness of less than two centimeters, HTC lost 440 million NT dollars two years ago.

The founder, Zhuo Huo Tu, has a persistent and thick engineer character. He takes the deed of the house as collateral, hoping that Wang Xuehong can continue to invest. Wang Xuehong will say no more about it and participate in the subscription increase of 40 yuan per share.

It is understood that the first five years of the establishment of HTC amounted to at least 1 billion NT dollars.

Wang Xuehong's most famous campaign in his youth was to collect debts in Spain.

In early 1980s, she first worked at the popular computer set up by Jian Mingren, a brother-in-law. When she graduated from the Department of economics of California Berkeley University, she received a $700 thousand Spanish order. She was very excited.

The result is cheated, money can not be collected.

700 thousand dollars, which was not a small number at that time. Wang Xuehong was most worried about the collapse of his sister and brother-in-law company.

She flew alone to Spain to recover the arrears, and stayed in a foreign country for half a year. She also asked the bodyguards to catch up with the goods, and the lawsuit was fought. Finally, she failed to bring the money back.

But that European trip made Wang Xuehong open the opportunity of Volkswagen's computer in the European market.

Wang Xuehong shared with his closest church friends: "difficulties are opportunities for a person to mature and discipline.

If one wants to succeed, one must choose the most difficult thing to do.

The discipline of Wang Xuehong's independent life has created her strong personality and American straightforward style of action.

She admitted that in the past, she was always young and energetic, always doing things in the end and never letting go of herself. Others even used "this person is very Push, very fierce" to describe Wang Xuehong.

The meticulous character not only gives others pressure, but also compel her to live like a tight string, or even to sleep for many days.

"I used all kinds of methods but I couldn't relax, and I read and walked in the middle of the night to recite Tang poetry and Song poetry, but they were all at the edge of collapse."

At that time, she had to call Wang Guiyun, the sister who believed in Christ, for help.

Wang Guiyun not only prayed for her, but also asked her to pray for herself.

She made a promise to God that she would like to read the Bible as long as God allowed her to sleep.

However, several prayers failed, and she could not help losing her temper.

The elder sister reminded her that she should keep the promise of God and fulfill her promise.

One night, about three minutes, she picked up the Bible and began to read the poem. She read and read, and in a trance read one of them, and said, "he will make me sleep peacefully," and she went to sleep.

From second nights, she began to insist on reading the Bible for two hours every night, not only to sleep peacefully every night, but also to finish reading the Bible at last.

"This is the first time I have experienced the presence and healing of God, and I really feel that the relationship between God and me is so close."

She sang.

If family ancestry and the experience of the United States gave Wang Xuehong rigid discipline, faith gave Wang Xuehong more determined support and tolerance.

"It is not so much that it is the most leading technology company, but it knows how to respect technology people and make them fully bold."

An Asian technology industry analyst said.

The third key for HTC to surpass NOKIA is to grasp the right time and launch products quickly in the European and US markets, in short, speed.

According to the New York Times, one out of every six smart phones sold in the US is from HTC.

IDC's report points out that the rapid rise of HTC is related to the speed of smart phones becoming the mainstream of Anglo American products. "The change is so fast that NOKIA's traditional big factories are caught off guard."

Recently, NOKIA had to take the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 platform with Microsoft alliance, but NOKIA had spent at least three years against Apple's iOS and Google Android platform.

It chose Microsoft platform today, the strategy Wang Xuehong had made ten years ago.

The speed of HTC is actually from "focus".

At present, the top three smart phone companies in the world are apple, Samsung and HTC. But HTC only makes smart phones / tablets, and does not make other products, gathering all the energy of hardware and software engineers and competing with global technology brands.

In the process of Wang Xuehong's students' correspondence with his father, Wang Yongqing once told Wang Xuehong about the difficulties he faced in dealing with public affairs and how to solve them thoroughly. This is Wang Xuehong's best memory and asset.

Wang Yongqing, general manager of huayuke, Taiwan, who has experience in cooperation with Wang Yongqing and Wang Xuehong, once said: "Wang Xuehong's style is masculine, raucous voice, straightforward, and unlike ordinary women, it is very similar to father Wang Yongqing."

Wang Xuehong said frankly that he was deeply influenced by his father: "whenever I meet setbacks, I wonder what my father will do.

Will you give up? "

She said with emotion that although he did not borrow a cent from his father when he started his business, "in my eyes, he is the best father in the world".

However, it is certain that in the more than 20 years of Wang Xuehong's pioneering work and long-term competition, the huge figure that his father projected has been covered by her own "snow red style".

Like father Wang Yongqing, Wang Xuehong has the habit of long-distance running.

As long as he stays in Taiwan, she goes to the sports ground at half past five in the morning and runs after four or five kilometers.

"I like running because running does not require specific goals."

Wang Xuehong said.

She had been suffering from spine for some time, but later she did not heal.

Wang believes that this is the power of belief, but the doctor's treatment of her spine is not accidental. "It knows that I am not easy to be quiet, so I want to keep running and meditate on God's words, pray and equip myself."

In recent twenty years, journalists who have worked with Wang Xuehong and her journalists have all known that "saying must be called God" is Wang Xuehong's most obvious leadership style.

In recent years, God and faith have become the key force to support this forthright technology woman who has gone through the process of growing up and suffering and creating an "invisible market".

In 2005, Zhang Zhongmou, chairman of TSMC, joined in the prayers of Wang Xuehong at the end of the year.

(by the way, there is a popular saying in Taiwan: "when a child is born like Zhang Zhongmou, she is born as a Wang Xuehong".

It is estimated that every day, 300 thousand Android mobile phones will be sold in the world, and HTC will remain the top two of Android smart phone shipments (the other is Samsung).

Goldman Sachs analysts pointed out that in the emerging market demand growth and Hongda brand marketing drive, HTC's mobile phone shipments are expected to reach 200 million levels between three and five years, and tablet shipments are expected to reach 30 million. HTC's shareholders' interests will increase from 30 billion to $100 billion in three to five years, which will be the most profitable company in Taiwan in five years.

No wonder Apple started accusing the company of infringement on HTC in 2011.

For Wang Xuehong, she has long known that this is the only way to challenge the mainstream market and to dominate the technology and technology. Jobs has to go through it.

Her faith will sustain her in the end.

The layout of smart phone queen is still extending.

In early 2011, Wang Xuehong bought Saffron Digital, a UK mobile video platform company, and bought a $40 million stake in Onlive, an American gaming company.

At the end of March, the Hongkong Television Broad-casts Limited (TVB) announced that the equity trading between the investment group of Wang Xuehong, chairman of the Weisheng / Hongda Electric Company, and Dr. Chen Guoqiang and Providence Equity Partners LLC three, and Shaw Brothers Co. Ltd. had completed the equity paction.

After the completion of the paction, investment group held about 26% of TVB shares.

As a result, the media influence of Wang Xue's red flag will be across the mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan, and three areas of hardware and software.
