When Huawei’s new handset manufacturing complex opens in 2016 at Songshan Lake in southern China, it will include a building modelled on Krakow’s Wawel Castle. The former Polish royal residence was preferred over proposals based on other European beauty spots including the palace of Versailles, Granada’s Alhambra and Windermere in the English Lake District. That a fast-growing telecoms group should draw inspiration for the next phase of its assault on the 21st-century global phone market from a 16th-century castle is not as strange as it sounds.
華為新的手持設(shè)備制造中心將于2016年在東莞松山湖科技園落成。其中一座建筑將參考波蘭克拉科夫的瓦維爾城堡(Wawel Castle)。設(shè)計(jì)者也曾考慮參考?xì)W洲的其他名勝，比如凡爾賽宮(Palace of Versailles)、格拉納達(dá)的阿爾汗布拉宮(Alhambra Palace)或英國(guó)湖區(qū)(Lake Disrict)的溫德米爾(Windermere)，但最終還是選擇參考那座曾經(jīng)的波蘭王宮。作為一家快速成長(zhǎng)的電信集團(tuán)，華為居然要從一座16世紀(jì)的城堡那里尋找靈感、以求找到向21世紀(jì)全球手機(jī)市場(chǎng)發(fā)動(dòng)下一輪進(jìn)攻的最佳方式，這聽上去或許有些不可思議，其實(shí)不然。
