Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei - Do you really understand his brilliance?

Ren Zhengfei, the leader of Huawei, has quickly become an entrepreneur sought after by Chinese people due to the huge sales of Huawei mobile phones and the US crackdown on Huawei. Some people commented that China does not lack business people, but it lacks national entrepreneurs like Mr. Ren.

Let’s first review Ren Zhengfei’s life. He was originally an insignificant construction soldier in the army. Later, with the adjustment of national strategy, he transferred to the Shenzhen Nanhai Petroleum Logistics Service Base. Later, due to work Mistakes can lead to huge losses and, therefore, unemployment.

Although he faced unprecedented pressure, Mr. Ren never gave up his hope and love for life. He borrowed money to establish Huawei with simple office conditions. With the hard work of him and the Huawei team, Huawei finally saw success. When the sun began to rise, I made my first pot of gold by acting as an agent for a certain company's program-controlled switches.

Later, Ren Zhengfei invested in the research and development of switches. After hard work day and night, the research and development was finally successful, and the price was much lower than similar foreign products, laying a solid foundation for Huawei to quickly occupy the market.

In fact, Ren Zhengfei is not as far-sighted and ambitious as we think. He is actually an ordinary person. His goals were small at first. In 2003, he would consider selling Huawei to Motorola. He once said during the interview, "Because we predicted that according to the development situation at that time, we would reach the world's advanced level and sooner or later we would confront the United States. At that time, the United States would definitely attack us and sell it to Motorola just to wear it. An American cowboy hat, after all, Huawei is still worked by tens of thousands of Chinese people. This also reflects the victory of the Chinese people. The capital is an American company and the labor is Chinese. This pattern is conducive to development in the international market."

As a result of God's will, even though all contracts with Motorola were signed, the price was 10 billion, and the procedures were completed, there were changes at Motorola. The new chairman vetoed the acquisition because he felt that the asking price too high.

After experiencing such an incident, in order to avoid the huge business risks caused by the U.S. obstruction in the next 10 or 20 years, Huawei can only prepare backup plans for a rainy day and make long-term plans. Mental preparation, HiSilicon is an important part of the backup plan, but the day has really come when it is squeezed out by the United States. Because 5G communication technology leads the world, it has received special treatment such as cutting off chips and cutting off industrial development software. What is even worse is that the United States actually fished for law enforcement and teamed up with HSBC to detain Huawei Princess Meng Wanzhou who was crossing the border. Ren Zhengfei once said in an interview, "I'm ready to never see my daughter again in my life." As he spoke, as an elderly father, he felt extremely guilty for his daughter.

As an outstanding national entrepreneur well-known in mainland China and even around the world, Ren Zhengfei has greatly inspired the national self-confidence of the Chinese people. He once said, The market will not give us time, waiting for us to grow up. It is never anyone's mother, it is never kind, and it has no patience. It is impossible to move it with tears, and only the strong can conquer it. If Huawei wants to survive, it must be able to carve out a bloody path.

This is what he has realized in his many years of business management as the backbone of Huawei. If he wants Huawei to survive, more people can shine on Huawei's big platform and realize the value of life and freedom of wealth. , Ren Zhengfei can only explore the right path forward for Huawei all the time, and in the process of Huawei's development and growth, he understands empathically that the development of the enterprise is inseparable from the wolf nature. The wolf nature has three major advantages: one is a keen sense of smell; the other is tenacity. The offensive spirit of perseverance and risking life and death; the third is team awareness. It is necessary to pay attention to talent training and delegation, encourage innovation, cultivate competitive and creative small teams, and attach importance to Huawei's investment in R&D costs as an innovative company. Ren Zhengfei supports Huawei's plan to recruit global talents. Judging from the results, the various scientists recruited have indeed brought great vitality to Huawei and contributed to Huawei's growth and development. Ren Zhengfei's vision can be said to be very vicious.

Although Ren Zhengfei has led Huawei from a small company in a small fishing village in Shenzhen to a creative company with Chinese brands, he respects talents and understands that individual abilities are limited and requires excellent mechanisms to allow talents to fully develop. talents and maximize the team's strengths.

Huawei's rotating chairman system was initially designed to formulate the company's strategic direction, governance structure, and process systems. Later, the system played an important role in cultivating a group of successors. Ren Zhengfei has understood that the company's development cannot rely on "personal heroism." Instead, we must rely on "collective struggle and collective wisdom." In essence, judging from the effect of the implementation of the rotation system, it has balanced the contradictions in all aspects of the company, allowing the company to grow in a balanced manner in all aspects of the business, and avoiding an overnight collapse. At the same time, this move inadvertently flattened the existing contradictions in the company.

Ren Zhengfei's philosophical thinking also includes many aspects, "Dare to think and do, and have the courage to be alone. Don't be vulgar or mediocre, and be a world-class company. This is the fundamental way to enrich and stimulate life." , as the top leader of the company, he has always acted as a wise mentor within Huawei who guides young people to make strides forward. He encourages young people to express their voices more and not to be too humble. If you are at the grassroots level, you do not necessarily have high-level leaders. Strategic wisdom, the construction and startup of a good building requires careful polishing by many workers. A ship sailing in the vast sea requires people in various positions to stick to their posts. Those at the helm and those measuring the direction must pay attention to their surroundings, so that they can be safe. Arrive at your destination correctly.

Although Ren Zhengfei has led Huawei through ups and downs for so many years, he once said frankly, "My personal life is very painful, very lonely, and I can't find anyone to play with... I You have to endure this loneliness, this loneliness. "God is fair. It is impossible for everyone to get what they want. If your career is successful, your family may be frustrated. As adults, we should understand more and more. To: No one is perfect, and nothing is perfect. You will always experience being left out, frustrated in your career, dashed hopes, etc. The important thing is that we must adjust our mentality and understand that "the bird that cannot be burned is the phoenix." ", hardship comes first, enjoyment comes last.

Although Ren Zhengfei is over 70 years old and has experienced many twists and turns in life, he is finally able to wait for the clouds to bloom and the moon to shine, and wait for the flowers to finally bloom. The Huawei company he founded has become China's corporate brand. With the efforts and support of the Chinese government and all Huawei colleagues, his daughter, who has been longing for day and night, has returned to the land of China and to him. Unfortunate things in the world often happen Nine, one or two things that are satisfactory should be enough!
