How awesome is Huawei’s “genius boy” with an annual salary of one million? After 7 layers of screening, only 4 people from all over the world were selected.

In the 21st century, the most important thing is talent. The country needs talents, society needs talents, and enterprises also need talents. As we all know, Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei attaches great importance to talents and has repeatedly expressed his importance and respect for talents. Chairman Xu Zhijun also explained the issue of "Huawei's salary announcement", saying that he wanted to announce to the world that Huawei attaches great importance to the value of talents and hopes that more talents will join the company.

Last year, the Huawei President’s Office released an email signed by Ren Zhengfei himself. The email stated that Huawei will implement an annual salary system for some outstanding graduates in 2019. The email *** disclosed eight Ph.D.s, with salaries ranging from 896,000 yuan to 2.01 million yuan. The email also stated that this year, about 20-30 "young talents" will be recruited globally to strengthen team building, improve the team's combat effectiveness, and adjust the team's combat structure.

It is reported that the selection of "genius teenagers" is very strict and basically requires seven stages of screening, namely resume screening, written examination, preliminary examination, executive interview, minister interview, president interview, and HR interview. The general interview may end in the third or fourth round. This shows how high Huawei's standards are. In each of the 7 rounds of screening, if there is a problem in one link, you will be disqualified. Ren Zhengfei’s purpose is also clear: to attract, recruit and retain talents.

It is understood that Huawei pays very high salaries when recruiting young talents, and Huawei has directly stated that the salary level must be higher than Google. Google salaries have always been the highest of any technology company. This time Huawei’s “genius boy” program has higher salaries than Google’s. It will definitely attract many outstanding young people, and Huawei's future development will be better and better.

What is most important to a genius? It doesn't have to be money, it doesn't have to be status, but it can be a challenge. Most geniuses have one thing in common: they like challenges, so the "Genius Youth Program" uses "top challenges" as bait to attract talents. Data show that the maximum salary under this plan can reach an annual salary of 2.01 million yuan. Currently, only four people in the world have received the maximum salary for "genius teenagers". Among these four people, only Yao Ting is a girl.

Yao Ting comes from an ordinary family in Yiyang, Hunan. Her parents are ordinary people with no special background. Her high school was not a prestigious school either, and her high school entrance exam scores were only 2A4B, which was only considered average at the time. After entering high school, Yao Ting's academic performance was good, but far from the first-class level. However, according to the memory of Yao Ting's high school teacher Dai Minying, Yao Ting had a very clear study plan. She knows what to do when and she sticks to her study plan strictly. She is a self-disciplined student. It was with this good self-discipline habit that Yao Ting was admitted to Huazhong University of Science and Technology. She continued to improve herself and received a doctorate. When Yao Ting graduated, companies such as Tencent, Alibaba and Huawei offered her opportunities. After comparison, Yao Ting finally chose Huawei.

When Yao Ting answered the media's question "How do you feel about getting this offer? Are you surprised?", Yao Ting said this: "I am very excited at the moment, but not too surprised. I felt that the offer was in line with my expectations and I signed the contract. At that time, I was too embarrassed to reject Western Digital's kindness. I only informed my internship supervisor after signing the contract with Huawei. He regretfully asked me why I signed the contract without discussing it with him. He should have informed me. They asked them to give the highest offer and do more comparisons. I had no experience in this field at the time, so I had some regrets.” She felt that the annual salary of 1.56 million yuan did not represent her. With success and an annual salary of one million, it is not easy to buy a house in a city like Shenzhen. Regarding her sudden popularity, Yao Ting feels that it is a burden. There are many better people in the same field, and she does not feel that she is special. Yao Ting feels that she may be considered by most people to be at the peak of her life. But she feels that a person's success depends on how much value he creates. An annual salary of several million does not mean success to her.

In addition to Yao Ting, there is another boy who attracts special attention. He is Zhang Ji, who just graduated. According to media reports, Dr. Zhang Ji graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

This is not surprising, after all, most of Huawei's senior executives graduated from this school, including Chief Financial Officer Meng Xiaozhou and several vice presidents. What caused controversy was Zhang Ji’s undergraduate university, which was said to be three. Of course, people don't think San Bensheng is not qualified to receive an annual salary of 2.01 million.

However, everyone thinks it is really admirable that a student who has graduated from three universities not only got a doctorate from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, but also was selected into the Huawei Talented Youth Program. In addition, it is said that Zhang Ji also received employment letters with a maximum annual salary of 3.6 million yuan from companies such as Tencent and Alibaba, but he rejected them all.

In this regard, Zhang Ji said that he is not a genius, but an ordinary person. He just hopes to do meaningful things with like-minded people, and he believes that he can only do that at Huawei. "I want to join Huawei during its most difficult time, make my own contribution, help Huawei overcome difficulties, and impress the world."

In terms of talents, Ren Zhengfei has always shown the same side. He has proposed many times that the state encourages college students to participate in international competitions to improve their abilities and promote teaching. But Ren Zhengfei, who recruits globally, also has his own "regional discrimination." He made it clear that Huawei does not hire Americans in principle. Because as long as you have American identity, a green card or permanent residence in the United States, you have American identity and must accept American jurisdiction.
