The "Father of Hongmeng" officially resigned from Huawei, Huawei may be playing a big game!

Many industry media broke the news that Dr. Wang Chenglu, the leader of Huawei Hongmeng and president of Huawei Terminal BG Software Department, has left Huawei.

At present, the official certification of Wang Chenglu’s Weibo account has been cancelled.

Regarding the "Father of Hongmeng", according to public information, Wang Chenglu graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology with a doctorate in engineering.

He joined Huawei in 1998 and served successively as President of the Core Network Product Line, President of the Central Software Institute, and President of the Consumer BG Software Department, leading the development of the Hongmeng operating system.

Currently, more than 240 million Huawei devices are equipped with Huawei HarmonyOS. Huawei terminals have 730 million monthly active users worldwide, 150 million ecological devices have been shipped, there are more than 2,000 ecological partners, and more than 14,000 offline outlets.

As one of the main leaders of the Hongmeng system, Dr. Wang Chenglu plays a decisive role in the development of Hongmeng and is called the "Father of Hongmeng" by people in the industry.

Wang Chenglu’s whereabouts have been confirmed. Regarding Dr. Wang Chenglu’s whereabouts, it has been basically unanimously confirmed on the Internet: to join Shenzhen Kaihong Digital Industry Development Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen Kaihong).

According to public information, Shenzhen Kaihong Company has the strategic goal of becoming the leader in intelligent IoT operating systems and focuses on the technology research and development and continuous innovation of intelligent IoT operating systems based on the open source Hongmeng.

The company's personnel are mainly injected from the former Hongmeng Ecological Business Department of ChinaSoft International.

The core team all have experience in leading companies such as Huawei and Alibaba.

He has profound accumulation in the fields of computers, communications, and the Internet of Things, and has rich experience in strategic planning, product research and development, marketing, and sales.

In other words, Shenzhen Kaihong has a close relationship with Huawei.

In Shenzhen Kaihong’s equity penetration chart, Shenzhen Hubble Technology Investment Partnership, a subsidiary of Huawei, holds 20% of the former’s shares.

Shenzhen Kaihong is a company controlled by ChinaSoft International. It was originally established to undertake the related business of Huawei Hongmeng.

Chinasoft International and Huawei have a deep relationship. Huawei was introduced as a strategic shareholder as early as 2015. Huawei is also Chinasoft International's largest customer.

ChinaSoft International, Shenzhen State-owned Assets and Huawei jointly established Shenzhen Kaihong, which took over Huawei's Hongmeng business in the form of a domestic company.

Wang Chenglu’s joining Shenzhen Kaihong means that he is still a Huawei-based company.

During his tenure at Huawei, Wang Chenglu's last public appearance was at the Huawei Developer Conference on October 22, 2021.

At that time, his position was adjusted to President of Huawei's AI and Smart All-Scenario Business Department, and Gong Ti took over as President of Huawei's Consumer Business Software Department.

Wang Chenglu’s change of position is also considered to be a precursor to his departure from Huawei.

Regarding the future of Hongmeng, Wang Chenglu said frankly: In addition to having a thorough understanding of all technologies of the operating system, it also needs to attract domestic and foreign industry chain partners to participate in building an ecological chain.

If Hongmeng wants to become a world-class operating system, it cannot be used by just Huawei. It must have more partners.

Huawei has donated the core layer of Hongmeng to the Open Atomic Foundation, but such a foundation does not have the ability to turn the core layer of Hongmeng into a powerful operating system.

In order for other enterprises to use the Hongmeng system, interaction capabilities must be superimposed on the Hongmeng system.

I believe that Shenzhen Kaihong Company is to provide Hongmeng secondary development capabilities to more companies. This work is led by Wang Chenglu.

There is no need to worry about technology. He is the leader of the Hongmeng system and he also has appeal.

It is also a good thing for the industry, as there are many small and medium-sized enterprises in need of such services.

Shenzhen Kaihong not only has its roots in Miaohong, but also has the open source Hongmeng project.

Compared with within Huawei, research and development and promotion of Hongmeng can be more flexible.

For Wang Chenglu personally, this has more room for development.
