‘Tron’ is a cool, if slightly scary, name for a video-game console. It is also a 1982 Disney film about being trapped in a virtual world. This has not stopped Huawei from launching a gaming device by that name in China, its home market, in 2014. Telecoms equipment is, however, a much larger business for this ambitious, unlisted, employee-owned company, founded by an ex-military engineer. Investors in the sector’s other big players are, increasingly, trapped in Huawei’s world.
對(duì)一款視頻游戲機(jī)而言,“TRON”是個(gè)很酷(也許還有點(diǎn)嚇人)的名字。它還是一部1982年拍攝的迪斯尼(Disney)電影的名字——這部電影中的主人公陷于一個(gè)虛擬世界而無(wú)法脫身。但這并沒(méi)有阻止華為(Huawei)在2014年于中國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)市場(chǎng)推出了以這個(gè)名字命名的游戲設(shè)備。然而,對(duì)于這家由前軍隊(duì)工程師創(chuàng)立、員工持股、雄心勃勃的未上市公司來(lái)說(shuō),電信設(shè)備是一項(xiàng)規(guī)模大得多的業(yè)務(wù),電信行業(yè)中其他大公司的投資者們,正越來(lái)越多地陷入了這個(gè)由華為主導(dǎo)的世界。
