SHENZHEN nike leBron james pas cher , April 13 (Xinhua) -- From a company on a shoestring budget at the time of its founding to a world renowned telecommunications giant, Huawei Technologies proves that commitment to entrepreneurship and innovation pays off.
"The only reason why Huawei exists and flourishes is its aim to better serve customers," said rotating CEO Hu Houkun.
"The only way for Huawei to win the market's trust and respect is through diligence," Hu said.
Founded in 1987 with a registered capital of 21 chaussure leBron james pas cher ,000 yuan (3,400 U.S. dollars), Huawei took only eight years to achieve an annual sales of 1.5 billion yuan.
In 2004, Huawei launched a subsidiary in Britain. Within three years leBron 13 opening night pas cher , it had orders from Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
At the end of March, the company reported a 32.7 percent increase in profits in 2014 to 27.9 billion yuan. Its revenue grew to 288 billion yuan leBron 13 on court pas cher , up 20.6 percent.
The growth was due partly to Huawei's development of consumer business, mainly smartphone sales. Consumer business revenue hit 75.1 billion yuan last year, up 32.6 percent.
A close look at the company's track record reveals the main driver behind its growth is its attention to innovation and research and development (R&D). In 2014, 40.8 billion yuan went on R&D leBron 13 all star pas cher , 29.4 percent more than in 2013 and 14 percent of revenue.
In the past decade, Huawei has spent more than 190 billion yuan on R&D. Among its 150,000 employees, more than 45 percent are engaged in innovation leBron 13 25K pas cher , research and development.
Huawei has been granted 36,511 patents and currently holds over 170 key positions in major international standards organizations, driving the improvement of industry standards.
"Huawei endeavors to offer the people of the whole world, especially in developing countries leBron 13 written in the stars pas cher , fast and convenient connections at an affordable price." Hu said.
Huawei's ascent has not been free from obstacles: popularity breeds suspicion. Security forces in the U.S. and the UK accused the company of spying, but Huawei has been cleared through lack of evidence.
The UK's Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Center, which includes representatives of the British government and intelligence services concluded in a report published at the end of last month that "any risk to UK national security from Huawei's involvement in the UK's critical networks have been sufficiently mitigated."
MELBOURNE, July 20 (Xinhua) -- Sports stores in the Australian city of Melbourne have sold out of baseball bats as Victorian residents arm themselves against young criminals responsible for a spate of violent house invasions, according to local media.
A Melbourne radio station on Wednesday morning fielded several calls from store owners and residents in the western suburbs who said the recent jump in home invasions and car jackings had forced them to take the law into their own hands.
A leading sports retailer in Melbourne's west said he had sold out of baseball bats after three violent home invasion incidents occurred earlier this month.
One caller rang the radio station to explain the shortage: "And it ain't because of an influx of baseball players," he said.
During the three home invasions, a man was stabbed, a couple was forced to hide in a bathroom and one family was confronted in their living room. There have also been a host of separate car-jacking incidents across Victoria in the past few months.
Many other Victorians called into the radio station on Wednesday to explain that they too had begun to arm themselves with a range of household items including machetes, samurai swords, golf clubs, hair spray and even spear guns.
Despite police warnings, residents have formed makeshift neighborhood watch groups, while others have begun patrolling the streets at night.
"In regards to the comments about community patrols, we cannot stress enough the risks that go with it," local police in a western-suburb posted on their social media community page.
The state has been on high alert since the violent attacks at Melbourne's annual family festival - Moomba - during March earlier this year.
Two rival gangs - including the Apex, which is a street gang of young men living in Melbourne, ran riot as they brawled through Melbourne's city square, terrifying thousands of festival goers.
