Huawei’s 2012 revenue proaching USD 35 billion.
Huawei on Tuesday reported revenues of 102.7 million renminbi, or U.S. $16.1 billion, for the first six months of 2012. That would seem like a perfectly ordinary quarter for the giant and growing Chinese telecom vendor, but there is something particularly significant of about this earnings report. According to some quick calculations made by Light Reading’s Ray Le Maistre, Huawei’s sales have surpassed Ericsson’s, making the privately held company the largest telco infrastructure maker in the world.
Huawei now has 150,000 employees, with 61,000 of them in research and development. The company has built five R&D centers in Europe and participates in over 130 standards bodies. Huawei boasts of serving one-third of the world’s population today.

华为终端首席执行官万飚：我们要超过苹果和三星
网易科技讯 3月3日消息，据国外媒体报道，华为终端的首席执行官万飚日前接受英国《每日电讯报》采访，透露华为的目标是要在手机市场超越苹果和三星，并介绍了华为的策略。
国的华为正是为数不多设立了两个展位的企业之一。这家中国巨头想要发出一个明确的信息——在夺得基础设施领域主导地位后，该公司也希望成为消费领域的大品牌。
万飚表示：“如果你回顾5年前，苹果规模较小，三星也不是很大。你不能预测我们在5年后将发展到什么地步。至少是前三。可能是第一。”
对于中国民营企业，这种远大的志向听起来有点荒唐。但如果是从华为嘴里说出来，那就非常值得仔细聆听。
华为提出的口号是“Make it possible”，万飚的目标首先是为其品牌打造高端手机，籍此吸引更多消费者，不管年少还是年长，贫穷还是富裕。他表示，“知道每个人都有梦想，我们可以帮助他们实现。”
