Huawei 3Com The official date of establishment of the company is 2003 year 11 month （ The intention to enter into a joint venture is 2003 year 3 month ）, The place of registration is Hong Kong , Headquartered in Hangzhou . At the beginning of its establishment , That is, having employees 1500 people .

this 1500 people , Most of them come directly from Huawei . Huawei has invested technology and personnel , Holding shares of the company 51%. and 3Com investment 1.65 Billion dollars , The rest of the shares 49%. Of the seats on the board of directors ,5 People come from Huawei ,4 People come from 3Com. Bruce · Kravlin and Ren Zhengfei, the boss of Huawei , Serve as the chairman of the board of directors of the company and CEO.

come from 3Com Support for , It has really helped Huawei a lot . Final ,2004 year 7 month 28 Japan , Huawei 、 Cisco 、3COM An application for termination of the proceedings was filed with the court . The court issued a decree , The whole lawsuit was terminated .

After the lawsuit , Huawei 3Com The company continues to operate .

This company focuses on the data communication equipment market for government and enterprise users , It mainly produces low-end routers and other equipment .

Rely on yourself and Huawei 、3Com、NEC（ Japan Electric Co., Ltd ） The relationship between , It is like a duck to water in the domestic and foreign markets .

at that time , Huawei 3Com The switches and routers sold in China are branded with Huawei , Post in European and American markets 3Com Brand , Post in the Japanese market NEC Brand , It can be said that they have taken advantage of everything . Huawei branded medium and low-end switches and routers in the market , In fact, they are all Huawei 3Com The production of .

2005 year , Huawei will Huawei 3Com Of the company's equity 2% Transfer to 3Com, bring 3Com holding 51%, Become a major shareholder . A year later , Huawei also takes 8.82 A hundred million dollars , Take the rest 49% All the equity is sold to 3Com. thus , Huawei 3Com Become 3Com Wholly owned subsidiary of , It has nothing to do with Huawei .

2007 year 2 month , Huawei 3Com Officially renamed H3C（ Hangzhou Huasan Communication Technology Co., Ltd ）.

The reason why Huawei wants to sell Huawei 3Com, There are two reasons . firstly , Huawei hopes to divest its low-end enterprise network business , Focus on the telecom network market . second , At that time, Huawei was working on PHS and CDMA A series of mistakes have been made in the market , Being chased by the opponent . Facing the upcoming 3G, And the expansion of the international market , Huawei is very short of money . therefore , They sold Huawei 3Com. in fact , Sell Huawei 3Com Cash received , It really helped Huawei tide over the difficulties at that time .

It is worth mentioning that , When Huawei sells all its shares , He also handed over all his enterprise network business to the new ones H3C, And signed a contract for 18 Months of gentleman's agreement ： The territory of the enterprise network business is yours , Huawei only focuses on the operator market .

3Com Wholly owned H3C after , Business performance has not improved , Still falling . In case of necessity ,3Com Reconsider selling H3C.

And Huawei , Because the external situation changes , And want to set up their own H3C Buy it back . therefore , The two sides also discussed the repurchase .

except H3C outside , Huawei even wants to directly integrate the whole 3Com The parent company bought it （H3C At that time, the performance accounted for 3Com More than half of , In fact, it won't cost much more ）. They teamed up with Bain Capital , With 22 A hundred million dollars , Yes 3Com Proposed an offer to acquire .

result , US government on national security grounds , Block the acquisition . In desperation , Huawei and Bain Capital withdrew their acquisition applications .

2010 year ,3Com I can't bear it anymore , Sold himself entirely to HP , Evaluate 27 Billion dollars . therefore ,H3C It became a subsidiary of HP .

2013 year ,“ Snowden incident ” Sudden , China has strengthened the independent and controllable requirements for key areas of information technology , Reduce the purchase and use of high-tech equipment with foreign investment background . Full foreign capital status H3C, The performance is greatly affected , Market share has fallen sharply .

2014 year , HP split into HP company （HP Inc.） And HP （HP Enterprise）. Hewlett Packard is in the personal computer and printer business , HP enterprises are engaged in enterprise oriented servers and data storage devices 、 Software and service software business . among ,H3C Belong to HP enterprise （HPE）.

A succession of changes of ownership , It has brought subtle changes to the emotions of employees in H3C .2015 Beginning of the year , A serious accident occurred in H3C Strike disturbance .

The cause of the storm , It comes from the personnel adjustment of the three communication management levels of HP China .

at that time , According to HP China's appointment plan , Chairman of HP China Maoyunan Will concurrently serve as the chairman of H3C , Former chairman Matt · Greenley （Matt Greenly） Will serve as vice chairman .

Maoyunan （ His father is famous , It's called maorenfeng ）

This move was unanimously opposed by all staff and management of H3C .

The reason why Huasan employees spontaneously resisted Mao Yunan , It is because they are worried that Mao Yunan will use the means of capital operation , Regardless of the interests of employees 、 Company development , Sell Huasan again . Many old employees of H3C have gone through the process of changing ownership many times before , I really don't want Hua San to be “ Sell to sell ”.

at that time , Huasan owns 5000 More than employees , exceed 5000 Application for patent （ near 90% For invention patents ）, The annual sales volume has exceeded 10 billion yuan , It is firmly in the top position in the domestic enterprise network market , It is an absolute high-quality asset .

Many employees of H3C are from Huawei , They hope to be like Huawei , Realize full shareholding . They also hope that H3C can be listed independently , So that their own interests can be protected .

In order to express their demands , At that time, there were nearly 1000 H3C employees in Hangzhou headquarters 、 Huasan Beijing R & D base held an on-site collective protest . Banners hung all over the protest site ：“ Hold a staff meeting , Require full ownership ”、“ Maintain national information security ”、“ Unite all forces that can be united ”、“ Firmly support the fruits of the group , Defend Huasan ”……

Employees protesting in groups （ Picture from the Internet ）

However , Despite the indignation of H3C employees 、 Strong opinions , But it still can not influence the change of the situation . HP China owns H3C 100% The control of , Enough to make decisions about the development of the company .

After a few months ,2015 year 5 month , HP China has more than ten potential partners , Select Ziguang group , Make a joint venture . The two sides reached an agreement , The subsidiary of Ziguang group, Ziguang Co., Ltd., acquired Huasan communication 51% Equity of , Become the controlling shareholder of the company .

In addition to H3C Communications , HP also established a joint venture with Ziguang Huashan .

Ziguang Huashan is mainly aimed at servers 、 Storage and technical services , Hangzhou Huasan is in charge of the network 、 wireless 、 Safety and other products . The two companies work together , Together, the three Xinhua groups .

Ziguang Co., Ltd. belongs to Ziguang group , And purple light group belongs to Tsinghua holdings . They have brought state-owned enterprise background to Xinhua III , It also brings college background , It paved the way for the market expansion of Xinhua III .

From then on , The development of Xinhua III tends to be stable , There is no change of ownership .

2021 year 7 month , Xinhua III has been pushed to the forefront again . assets 3000 Billion Ziguang group is in debt default , Issued a bankruptcy reorganization notice , It caused a shock to the whole industry . Xinhua III, a subsidiary of Ziguang group 、 Purple highlights 、 The future trend of Ziguang Guowei and other enterprises , Become the focus of people's attention .

in fact , The bankruptcy and reorganization of Ziguang group , It has not affected the development of these companies , The business has not changed . Now , With the clarification of the restructuring plan of Ziguang group , The impact of this event on Xinhua's third-class enterprises will also become lower .

On the whole , The development status of Xinhua III , It is still very stable .

at present , Xinhua 3 group is no longer a pure data communication equipment manufacturer , The product covers cloud computing 、 big data 、 Data center network 、 Wan 、 Campus network 、 The server 、 Storage 、 commercial PC、 Security plan 、 Unified operation and maintenance 、 Intelligent terminal and other fields .

Service objects , Xinhua 3 has already cut into the operator market , Serve the operators 、 The government 、 Finance 、 Electric power 、 energy 、 Medical care 、 education 、 Customers in various fields such as transportation .

Xinhua Group III building located in Hangzhou high tech Zone

It is worth mentioning that , Because Xinhua III has two headquarters , The administrative and marketing headquarters are in Beijing , The technology and operation headquarters are in Hangzhou . They are toB Experienced in the market , therefore , Over the years, Alibaba cloud and other competitors in the same city have poached many talents , Especially the talents with channel resources .

On the whole, the employees of Xinhua 3 are very confident about the company's ability , But it is entangled in the ownership of the company . After all, there is a parent company , Although I make money , But a lot of money is used by the parent company to subsidize the brother company , So it's not cool .

Okay , The above is the introduction of Xinhua III . In the current macro situation where digital transformation is popular , Xinhua III relies on its own resources in the industry for many years , I believe it will usher in a wave of good development . Let's wish them good luck ！ 

thank you ！ bye ！
