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.
华为新的手持设备制造中心将于2016年在东莞松山湖科技园落成。其中一座建筑将参考波兰克拉科夫的瓦维尔城堡(Wawel Castle)。设计者也曾考虑参考欧洲的其他名胜，比如凡尔赛宫(Palace of Versailles)、格拉纳达的阿尔汗布拉宫(Alhambra Palace)或英国湖区(Lake Disrict)的温德米尔(Windermere)，但最终还是选择参考那座曾经的波兰王宫。作为一家快速成长的电信集团，华为居然要从一座16世纪的城堡那里寻找灵感、以求找到向21世纪manbetx app苹果 手机市场发动下一轮进攻的最佳方式，这听上去或许有些不可思议，其实不然。
