Last year, "Do not let Huawei run" articles brushed friends circle, Huawei in the end will not run? Huawei Ren Zhengfei give a clear answer.
On the afternoon of April 4, the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. signed the 'take root in Shenzhen and look forward to the future' cooperation agreement. Including Party Secretary Wang Weizhong, Mayor Chen Rugui, Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei and others witnessed the signing.
According to the agreement, the Shenzhen Municipal Government will continue to deepen the business environment reform and actively provide quality assurance and service for Huawei's business development. Huawei will increase investment in Shenzhen to realize the industrialization of new technologies and new businesses in Shenzhen. Building an international headquarters.
In the interview after the meeting, Ren Zhengfei stated that we have never thought of relocating. Our headquarters is always in Shenzhen.
It is reported that when Ren Zhengfei was interviewed by the Xinhua News Agency, Nandu and other media, he also answered a lot of outside curiosity and sensitive topics.
Technical aspects: 5G may be overheated, business focuses on the main channel
Ren Zhengfei said that in the field of artificial intelligence, we mainly do basic research to improve internal management. If we want to apply it to products, we still have a long time and distance. In terms of cloud computing, Huawei actually does not do business content. Just make a basic platform.
For 5G technology, Ren Zhengfei stated that advance research in science and technology does not mean that social needs have already been generated. 5G may be overheated. I don't think that 5G has such a large market space now, because demand is not fully generated. If driverless is needed 5G, How many cars can be drone now? In fact, ships, airplanes, etc. have already achieved pilotless driving, but if the pilots are not on the plane, would passengers dare to go on the plane? This is the reason. System engineering does not have a bellmouth. Problems that can be solved.
Ren Zhengfei also stated that we will not do diversified business and will always focus on the main channel. In the next two to three decades, I may not have lived in the world, but I believe that later leaders will still insist on focusing.
Management: Huawei has a big business. It's not that I'm alone.
Ren Zhengfei believes that Huawei's big corporate disease should be very serious. The purpose of the 2.0 version of the Human Resources Management Program is to criticize ourselves. How can we streamline our organization and increase efficiency? Senior management criticizes ourselves and we say that management of people once It is scientific management. How do we become mathematics management now? This is a rigid dogma. The institutions are too big and too heavy.... The board members took the lead in the shelling of Huawei and promoted the company’s alertness. Of course, solving these problems is not a matter of overnight. , and then a little bit of reform. As long as we see the direction, we can slowly reform and improve efficiency.
He also mentioned in the interview: 'Last year our company had an event called 'Phoenix Burning Dead'. At the time, we had dealt with many senior management staff. A lot of people were downgraded by two levels. I was also one of the targets of the rotation. The CEO has been disciplined. Why? It is to use this to warn us that the company's management is going to be more scientific.'
In addition, Ren Zhengfei also explained the recent personnel adjustments for Huawei’s board of directors. He said: “The three rotations of the chairman of the board of directors take the rotation to avoid the “great chaos” and to prevent the loss of outstanding cadres and outstanding talents.
He said, 'In the past decade or so, Huawei is a collective management decision-making mechanism. All decisions are not made by me. I only have the right to speak with everyone. In fact, they sometimes do not listen, and many of my ideas It has not been implemented. So, I'll talk a few more times. Maybe they'll listen to it in a few years?'
According to him, the three rotating chairpersons were the top leaders of the company during the duty period and had the highest power to handle their day-to-day work, but were subject to collective support and constraints of the standing board of directors, and all documents needed to be approved by the vote of the board of directors; The rules govern the power of representatives of holding employees to vote on governance rules and major issues. The power of the highest group of leaders is governed by the rules; and the board of supervisors supervises the behavior of the board of directors. The highest authority supervising the highest authority is placed on collective leadership. , The rules follow, the constraints of the behavior of the cage, in order to form a cycle.
Ren Zhengfei rarely accepts media interviews. Outsiders think that he is one of the most mysterious and low-key bosses. But Ren Zhengfei said this time: 'I don't take a low-key attitude. Actually, I speak internally every day. Speeches are sent almost every day from the president to mail.'
