華爲再次尋求拓展美國市場
Huawei will renew its attempt to establish a larger business in the US with plans for a strengthened range of branded handsets in the country, even as it remains excluded from the US infrastructure market owing to security concerns.
華爲(Huawei)將再次努力擴大其在美國的業務，計劃是在該國推出一系列更爲強大的品牌手機——儘管該公司目前仍因美國對於國家安全的擔憂而被排除在該國電信基礎設施市場之外。Talking at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Eric Xu, one of the three rotating chief executives of the Chinese telecoms equipment maker, said the company had suffered last year in the US due to a lack of new products. It would launch further devices this year, he said, to expand the business after focusing on other markets last year.
作爲華爲的三位輪值首席執行官(CEO)之一，徐直軍(Eric Xu)在巴塞羅那世界移動通信大會(Mobile World Congress)上發表了講話。他表示，華爲去年在美國市場因缺乏新產品而處境艱難。他還表示，去年華爲將注意力放在了其它市場，今年該公司將在美國市場推出更多產品，以擴大在美業務。However, Mr Xu said Huawei would still not “actively pursue” deals to provide infrastructure in the US, where politicians have warned companies against doing business with the group owing to security concerns over its links to the Chinese state.
不過，徐直軍稱華爲仍然不會“主動尋求”爲美國提供電信基礎設施的交易。美國政界人士已告誡本國企業不要與華爲做生意，因爲他們擔心華爲與中國政府的聯繫可能影響到美國的國家安全。
Mr Xu said the company wanted to expand worldwide handsets sales this year to 80m-100m, or roughly 8 per cent of the global market, from 50m in 2013. Huawei was shifting its focus to more premium smartphones, he said. “We are not interested in the volume of the low end [of the market],” he said.
徐直軍表示，今年華爲希望將其全球手機銷量從2013年的5000萬部提升至8000萬至1億部，也就是佔據全球市場份額的大約8%。他說，華爲正將主要精力轉向更高端的智能手機。“我們對低端（市場中）的銷量不感興趣。”Mr Xu said Huawei would continue to make phones that ran on Android and Windows, but he had not been happy with the sales of devices that ran on Microsoft’s software. Huawei has no plans to develop its own operating system.
徐直軍表示，華爲將繼續製造Android系統和Windows系統手機，但他對微軟(Microsoft)的Windows系統手機的銷售狀況並不滿意。華爲目前沒有開發自有操作系統的計劃。Mr Xu said the company had no plans to list or carry out any major mergers and acquisitions for the next five to 10 years.
徐直軍說，華爲在今後5到10年內沒有上市或展開任何大規模併購的計劃。
