Huawei Cloud Zhang Peng: Brand acceleration solutions are deeply empowered, and partners are working together to inject growth momentum into China brands.

   On March 15th, Huawei Cloud & Huawei Terminal Cloud Innovation Summit 2024 corporate brand building theme forum was successfully held in Huangshan, Anhui. At the meeting, Zhang Peng, vice president of Huawei Cloud China and CMO, said that facing the difficulties and challenges of the new era, brand has become one of the driving forces of business growth and corporate culture. To achieve a great brand requires enterprises to change their consciousness, use the right methods, build a good process and embrace brand transformation. I believe that China should have more brands to grow up and give more and better choices to customers around the world.

  How is the Huawei brand tempered by accumulating brand potential energy?

  Brand building has never been achieved overnight, but the result of long-term operation and Excellence. At the event site, Zhang Peng shared the underlying logic of Huawei’s sustained brand growth by combining Huawei’s practical experience in management, marketing and service.

  According to Zhang Peng, Huawei has a clear understanding of its own brand building: First, brand is strategy. Huawei drives business strategy with core values, then drives brand strategy, and then delivers it to customers through integration; Second, the brand is the top project. The strategic direction choice, investment determination and implementation will of enterprise managers play a key role in brand building. Finally, the brand is "played". It includes products, corporate image, marketing communication, service experience and all other sensible elements. Only by delivering tangible value to users can the brand become popular and develop with high quality.

  In terms of management and operation, Huawei has built a brand strategy system driven by value, and a management system and process architecture with process as the core, which also enables the experience to be replicated, enables the excellent to be replicated, and ensures the stable and efficient operation of the business. Based on the need for in-depth insight into market segments, Huawei also introduced the MTL process construction. After the process of "first rigidity, then optimization, and then solidification", the enterprise market gradually changed from the perspective of pure sales to the realization of enterprise goals through "camp", further driving the growth of brand business.

  Brand building "trinity", achieving great brands in the new era

  At present, with the tide of global digitalization, China enterprises are facing unprecedented opportunities for technological innovation, and at the same time, they are also facing various problems in brand building. In the long run, the trend of China enterprises moving towards the high end of the global value chain will not change, and the rise of China brand is imperative, so it is necessary to steadily upgrade brand building.


  Vice President of Huawei Cloud China, CMO Zhang Peng

  Zhang Peng pointed out that brand is a systematic project, which needs to be built and managed by professional methods. Only by perfecting the process architecture and brand system can we achieve a lasting and great brand. At the meeting, Huawei Cloud also released the "Brand Acceleration Solution" with partners, the "Trinity" of brand consultation, brand alliance and intelligent brand marketing solution, and "Yunyun Collaboration" to accelerate brand growth.

  In brand consultation, Huawei continues to open brand management practice methodology for the whole industry, covering brand strategy implementation, diversified brand management, DSTE+MTL process, expert service projects, etc., to help enterprises in various industries effectively enhance their brand power; At the level of brand alliance, Huawei Cloud, Terminal Cloud and Ecosphere partners have joined forces to deepen mutual trust and cooperation, and fully combine brand endorsement, joint marketing, business opportunity sharing, resource collaboration and brand going out to sea to promote the practice of brand building; At the same time, Huawei also provides diversified and differentiated end-to-end brand and marketing solutions, solves the pain points of users in marketing, sales and service through digital means, empowers brand building and promotion with technology, and helps each brand achieve "greatness".

  The times are developing, and brand building should also keep pace with the times. Along the bridge of "Yunyun Collaboration", I believe that China enterprises will be more confident, determined and emboldened. Facing the future, Huawei will also walk side by side with more partners and seek common development, so that more China brands can be seen.

    At 9: 00 a.m. on February 9th, Beijing time, the 51st American Grammy Awards Ceremony was held in stamps Center. Raising Sand Robert Plant & Alison Krauss won the Album Of The Year.


B.B.King pays tribute to the dead pioneer as if going back in time.


    BuddyGuy, B.B.King, JohnMayer and KeithUrban joined hands to pay tribute to the dead rock and R&B pioneers. Their performances seemed to bring us back to that era when blues was prevalent. Especially the old B.B.King is still the familiar Gibson and the familiar smile.


Radiohead’s debut performance is grand, and the style is still decadent and different.


    Radiohead appeared, and the performance lineup has never been grand. They continued their decadent and alternative The English Patient style, and this year’s best alternative music album was awarded to their 2008 album In Rainbows. Radiohead is not a high-yield band, and there is no reason to award the best alternative music album to others. According to their release speed, it is difficult to see them at the Grammy more than ten years later. This award is more like an encouragement, a symbolic encouragement. Who let Radiohead not be favored by the Grammy jury?


Paul McCartney has no bright spot. Nirvana, the old drummer, has the same momentum.


    Paul McCartney’s special performance with Foo Fighters was not as infectious as the previous legend. There was almost no bright spot except the Beatles’ bass melody line that Paul could still find. Dave Grohl, the soul figure of Foo Fighters, returned to the position of drummer, only with the momentum of Nirvana dynasty.


Mariachi Divas won the best Mexican local music album.


    Mariachi Divas won the Best Regional Mexican Album.


After M.I.A got pregnant, she still tried her best to announce that the due date is today.


    Kanye West, T.I., Jay Z and M.I.A performed at the same time. M.I.A’s performance after pregnancy was still hard, and some people were surprised at the venue. Kathy Anderson, who went on stage to announce the next group of performers, declared that the expected date of delivery of M.I.A was today.


Robert Plant and Alison Krauss won the Best Production Award of the Year.


    The best production award of the year was won by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’s "Please Read The Letter". Coldplay’s "Viva La Vida" did not continue to write myths. Robert Plant said that the production process of this song was very easy and he did not forget to thank Jimmy Page, a former comrade-in-arms. Robert Plant has gained a lot in this Grammy, which also verifies what he said before. As a musician who is not young, he must make new music. There is no doubt that Robert Plant and Alison Krauss did it.


British singer Adele won the Best Newcomer Award. Fat girl dreams Grammy.



    The Best Newcomer Award was won by Adele, a British singer. She was obviously excited when she made a speech on the stage, thanking her mother in London and her good friend Duffy. It can be seen how much effort this fat young girl born in 1988 has made.


Katy Perry, red and green with costumes, funny dance, panting


    Katy Perry, nominated for the best female voice in this Grammy, danced on the stage, and Katy Perry’s red and green costumes were still funny. At the end of the singing of I Kissed a Girl, Katy Perry’s physical strength was obviously exhausted and even her voice trembled. Panting fully shows that she should strengthen physical exercise.


Coldplay won the best rock album again.


    Coldplay won the award again, and the best rock album was won by them. Viva La Vida resounded through the award ceremony for the third time. Blink182 was the guest of honor, and the drummer Travis Barker wore a plaster. The appearance of three members suggested that Blink 182 really came back.


Jonas Brothers took the stage to perform the guitarist "Orchid Finger", which surprised the audience.


    Jonas Brothers and Stevie Wonder collaborated on the stage, and Jonas Brothers guitarist’s "Orchid Finger" appeared many times in the performance, which made the fans look amazing.


Jennifer Hudson took the stage to sing the true feelings and moved the audience.


    Jennifer Hudson, who won three nominations, sang on stage, and her emotional singing moved all the audience present. At the end of the performance, Jennifer Hudson almost shed tears with excitement.


Taylor Swift collaborates with Miley Cyrus, and beautiful women shine on the stage.


    Taylor Swift cooperated with Miley Cyrus, and four male performers on the circular stage became the real foil for these two beautiful singers.


Kid Rock went on stage to sing, and his costume changed, just like Bob Dylan.


    Kid Rock, an American rock singer, brought several duet songs to the stage. It is worth mentioning that Kid Rock changed his old style of wearing sunglasses, a black suit and a black hat. At first glance, he looked like Bob Dylan, and Kid Rock Kid Rock was nominated for the best pop male voice in this Grammy.


Coldplay was accused of plagiarizing songs and won the grand prize.



    Coldplay band Viva La Vida won the song of the year. Four members of the band wore blue, green, red and purple tops respectively, which made the band radiant, and Coldplay came prepared. The familiar melody of viva la vida sounded for the second time at the award ceremony. The drummer’s acceptance speech thanked his family and fans, and the rumors of the band’s dissolution completely vanished. It seems that Coldplay will not care about plagiarism rumors, and even the American jury agrees with Coldplay. I believe that American guitarist Joe Satriani will still be ruthless?


Sugarland won the grand prize, which means it’s an honor to be on the same stage with Coldplay.


    In the acceptance speech, Sugarland, the best country group singing award, thanked her parents and said that she was lucky to have the opportunity to be on the same stage with Coldplay. Is this ironic British rock or real appreciation?

Zeng Taiyuan | "loong" jumped into the Oxford English Dictionary.

Perhaps it is purely coincidental, but I believe it is intentional, deliberate and then move. In January 2024, on the eve of year of the loong, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), a treasure house of English words, showed obvious movement, and turned its attention to China again after many years. The English word "loong" awoke from hibernation, opened his eyes and got up, ready to rise.
For the first time in history, Chinese dragon (loong) has been included in the brand English dictionary, and it is also OED, a recognized word authority in the English-speaking world. Chinese dragon has gone through lexicalization, from loose free combination to tight fixed collocation, and it has been loaded into dictionaries and become a justified lexical unit.
Bronze Dragon with Gold Core in Tang Dynasty Collected in Shaanxi History Museum
The voluminous OED published its first edition in 1928, positioning itself as "the most authoritative record of English language". The second edition was launched in 1989, with a total of 20 volumes. After that, three small volumes of Addendum Series of Oxford English Dictionary were published one after another, adding new words and meanings and revising existing contents. In 2000, OED integrated the second edition and the addendum series, and launched a paid online edition. Since then, OED has gone online and updated online every quarter, providing readers with some results of the third edition under editing.
OED was updated in the fourth quarter of 2023 and was not officially launched until January 2024. Among them, the new entry, Chinese dragon, is complete and comprehensive in content, including pronunciation, etymology, definition, documentary evidence (quotation, a written example with a source), cross reference (two words are complementary to each other), and the collection history of entries (time information shows that Chinese dragon was first published in December 2023). Prior to this, Chinese dragon was not included in the traditional brand dictionaries in the English-speaking world, and it was only mentioned in the definitions or examples of other terms at most.
Chinese dragon has two definitions in OED. The first one focuses on the physical entity, which refers to the image or statue of loong, and the second one focuses on the psychological projection, which refers to the animals in China mythology, covering the first definition. The following is the second definition of Chinese dragon, which is rich in content and three-dimensional:
A mythological creature or god associated with China,depicted in a variety of different animal forms but typically as a serpent with four limbs, And symbolizing wisdom, fortune, and power. Also: such a creative viewed as a personification of China or its former empire. (The god beast or spirit related to China is depicted as various animal forms, but it is basically a four-legged snake, symbolizing wisdom, fate and power. In addition, this beast is also regarded as the embodiment of China or the former empire)
OED’s documentary evidence shows that as early as 1754, the Chinese dragon group had appeared in the literature, and the Italian Letter written by Earl Irish aristocracy Orie. The latest documentary evidence is taken from the English Shanghai Daily on August 7, 2013:
The Chinese dragon is the greatest symbol of power and good fortune and no traditional festival is complete without an undetermined dragon dance. (loong is the grandest symbol of power and luck, and traditional festivals are complete only with undulating dragon dances.).
Before Chinese dragon became an independent word, the English translation of "dragon" was generally based on bare dragon. However, the traditional dragon in the West is the embodiment of evil, and its negative image is deeply rooted in people’s hearts. OED defines dragon as follows: "The mythical monster is a giant and terrible reptile, which often combines the body structure of snakes and crocodiles, with strong claws, like beasts or raptors, scales and wings, and can breathe fire sometimes."

Loong looks like a dragon in the west, but there are key differences. That’s why English adds Chinese decoration in front of dragon to define and distinguish it. This Chinese dragon group appeared in written records in the middle of the 18th century, which indicated that English speakers at that time had realized the differences between loong and Western Dragons.
Loong is different from the Western Dragon, which is clearly reflected in the other two large authoritative dictionaries. One is Webster’s Third Edition New International English Dictionary published in 1961, which is a very large single-volume modern English dictionary published in the United States. Webster’s does not include Chinese dragon, but the definition of dragon gives loong a meaning, saying that it is a beneficial supernatural creation in Chinese mythology connected with rain and floods (a miraculous animal in China mythology, kind and generous, related to rain and floods).
The second is the New Oxford English Dictionary published in 1998, which is a large-scale single-volume modern English dictionary based on corpus, and has nothing to do with OED. Chinese dragon is not included in New Oxford either, but in the definition of dragon, loong’s goodness and auspiciousness are pointed out: in East Asia, the dragon is naturally a beneficial symbol of fertility, associated with water and the treasures. (In East Asia, dragons are mostly kind and generous, symbolizing wealth, which is related to water and heaven).
What these two large authoritative modern English dictionaries reveal is that even though loong has no other entries and is included separately, the semantics of dragon has been divided, which clearly shows that the dragon of western traditional culture is one piece, and the dragon of China traditional culture is another piece, which is related to each other but different. Dictionaries reflect the current situation of language, which means that such cognition has a sufficient mass base in the English world.
Some theorists believe that translating China’s dragon into English is a huge mistake, which must be dealt with seriously and corrected thoroughly. Now, it seems that it is no longer necessary. All kinds of evidence show that dragon can also refer to loong, which is different from the Western Dragon. If there are doubts about semantics and the context is ambiguous, it must be made clear that this dragon is loong, and it can be easily resolved by putting Chinese before Dragon. The literature also shows that Chinese dragon has been used for more than 200 years, and the relevant evidence of various corpora is overwhelming. On the eve of year of the loong, Jiachen was certified and included by OED, so it should be no problem to translate China dragon into Chinese dragon.
Of course, if the English of "long" wants to find another way, it is also a way worth trying with the help of the transliteration of Long. Dragon is one of the core features of Chinese culture, and the English translation of cultural characteristic words is always based on phonetics, which is universally applicable. Transliteration highlights the main body of culture and expresses cultural self-confidence. However, English as a non-native language is not our decision, and it is only effective if it is widely recognized by English speakers. This road is long.
