At present, Huawei is busy in the layout and large-scale land acquisition across the country, which has spread all over China’s important economic belt from south to north.
After competing for industrial land in Jilin, Huawei spent another 4 billion yuan to win the plot of Xiangmihu in Shenzhen to build Huawei’s digital energy headquarters and R & D base.
According to the reporter’s preliminary statistics, in the past two years, Huawei has taken more than 10 land cases, with a total investment of 10 billion yuan. Over the past eight years, the total cost of Huawei’s land acquisition has exceeded 50 billion yuan.
On February 18, Huawei insiders told the Securities Daily: “Huawei is more based on the consideration of business scale expansion and will not easily enter the real estate industry.”
more than ten parcels in two years
cost more than 10 billion yuan
“We can go wherever we can, and we can build a research institute there.” Ren Zhengfei, founder of Huawei, once said. Now, Huawei has accelerated this action.
On February 17, among the new projects announced by Shenzhen in the first quarter of 2022, the Xiangmihu project with a total investment of 4 billion yuan signed by Huawei attracted special attention.
It is reported that there are many luxury houses in Xiangmihu, Futian District, and the price of high-end community once exceeded 160000 yuan per square meter. It is the Shenzhen south axis financial industry belt and international exchange center built by Futian District. Huawei plans to build a digital energy headquarters and R & D base here, which will be completed within four years.
With the rapid expansion of business in various places, Huawei has previously purchased land in Dongguan, Changsha, Guangzhou and other places. In 2019, Huawei won four plots of land in Songshan Lake. As a shareholder, Huawei has won a number of limited price residential land through Dongguan Lvyuan industry. Public information shows that from 2015 to 2020, Huawei acquired more than 3 million square meters of land in Songshan Lake, with a cumulative investment of more than 40 billion yuan.
According to Huawei’s bidding announcement, its largest investment in Songshan Lake Huawei terminal headquarters project has invested more than 19.5 billion yuan. In addition, the South Factory Project (phase II) has invested 4.3 billion yuan. Sources close to Huawei said: “the Songshan Lake Huawei terminal headquarters project has been under construction since 2014. Since then, it has continuously expanded the total investment originally proposed, and the expansion is expected to exceed 9 billion yuan.”
In recent years, Huawei has significantly accelerated its land acquisition in various regions, and the region is more extensive.
Only last year, Huawei’s land storage resources have spread all over Shenzhen, Nanning, Changchun and other places. In October last year, Huawei won a “Big Mac” industrial land in Longhua, Shenzhen with a reserve price of 298 million yuan; One month later, Huawei won 260000 square meters of industrial land in Dongguan Songshan Lake with 188 million yuan; In December, Huawei successively bought industrial land in Nanning and Changchun with 12.6 million yuan and 19.8 million yuan. Meanwhile, it is reported that Huawei also plans to build a research institute in Nadi, Jinan.
From 2020 to 2022, Huawei has won many new industrial lands from Guangdong, Shandong, Jilin and other provinces, mostly for the construction of R & D centers, research institutes and regional headquarters of various projects. According to the reporter’s incomplete statistics, in the past two years, Huawei has taken more than 10 land cases and invested more than 10 billion yuan. Over the past eight years, its land acquisition has cost more than 50 billion yuan.
parcel selection is conditional
Huawei has considered the choice of land plots. “First, the local government’s preferential and supportive policies for attracting investment; second, whether the local resources can attract high-quality customers, talents and suppliers and establish a healthy business environment; third, whether the costs of raw materials, transportation and manpower can be reduced out of the consideration of reducing costs.” A person close to Huawei said.
It is not difficult to see that from the location of the plots taken by Huawei, most of them have excellent geographical conditions and are located in important roads.
Only from the industrial land of Shenzhen Longhua “Big Mac” previously photographed by Huawei, it is located in Fucheng street, Longhua District, which is under key development in Shenzhen.
Fucheng street is located at the important node of meiguanchuang Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co.Ltd(300832) corridor and longlan Zhizao corridor. It is building a world-class electronic information industry cluster. In September last year, Fucheng Street held a meeting and proposed to build the most dynamic growth pole on the meiguanchuang Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co.Ltd(300832) corridor and release more high-quality industrial space for the implementation of key projects such as Huawei.
In recent years, Huawei has “camped” everywhere and interacted closely with local governments. The driving effect of Huawei’s large enterprises makes it a “sweet pastry” everywhere.
\u3000\u3000 “As a world-renowned technology enterprise, Huawei will get the land more smoothly by attracting investment from the local government, simplify the process under the green channel, and enjoy relatively low prices and certain preferential policies. Attracting such international giants will not only improve the popularity of the place, but also attract more supporting industrial chain enterprises and innovative enterprises, Form strong cluster benefits, so as to drive local GDP and economic growth. ” Yang Yong, investment director of Yihe Yinfeng Investment Management Co., Ltd., told the reporter of Securities Daily.
According to Huawei insiders, the establishment of new energy headquarters and R & D bases in various regions will directly reduce costs and improve technological innovation capability. “This is also the demand of the company to realize R & D integration, improve R & D efficiency and attract high-end technical talents.”
the scale of energy business surged by more than 6 billion yuan
Huawei’s frequent acquisition of land is essentially an action under the expansion of business scale.
With its horse racing and enclosure in various places, Huawei’s business territory has gradually become clear. Previously, Huawei’s land acquisition was mainly used for software information, Internet of vehicles, smart city and other related projects. Since last year, it has focused on the layout of new energy field and increased its investment in new energy sector. From the perspective of the projects proposed last year, the scale has surged by more than 6 billion yuan.
Now the new energy business at its peak has not been paid attention to by Ren Zhengfei. In order to concentrate on participating in communication competition, Huawei has stripped Xinneng capital. In 2008, Huawei restarted its energy business and ran out of acceleration in recent years.
Wu Suwei, private wealth manager of securities firm, believes that Huawei is accelerating the layout of new energy field, developing digital energy business, entering the field of energy storage, and the scale of energy industry is accelerating the expansion. However, the construction of energy industry chain is the most difficult problem that Huawei needs to overcome at the current stage. At the same time, Huawei needs more research and development sites to meet the supporting needs when entering new businesses.
In the overseas energy market, Huawei’s pace is also accelerating. In October last year, Huawei won the world’s largest Honghai energy storage project of 1300m This is another major breakthrough in its global energy layout.
“Now Huawei’s goal is to expand the global energy market and integrate more resources.” These people close to Huawei said.
