Ren Zheng Fei now leads Huawei to the world and stands at the top of China's pyramid in terms of 5g technology. These are inseparable from the professional and technical talents behind him. Ren cherishes talents since he founded Huawei, and will personally go to the talent market to recruit qualified fresh graduates when the enterprise is just starting.
Around 2000, Huawei was in a bottleneck period in the technological innovation of 2g-3g, which made the technical department very anxious and headache.
One day later, the R&D department accidentally found a paper on the forum, which happened to be a paper on digital technology research, which made the technical department very happy. After they reported this to Ren, they said that they must win Ren.
Ren sent a professional recruitment team of more than a dozen people to Russia, and it took Hr some time to find the contact information of this mathematician.
This mathematician is very young and has a great personality. Hr finally got in touch with him and made an appointment to meet him, but he was a little late because of other things, but the mathematician didn't listen to hr's explanation at all and told them directly: Don't cooperate with people who have no concept of time!
The human resources department had to convey this matter to Ren, and Ren immediately pulled down his face. If hr can't dig this mathematician, then Huawei won't come back.
The Hr team had to repeatedly trouble mathematicians. Ren Zheng Fei even offered the mathematician an annual salary of $2 million. Although the mathematician was moved, he didn't make a decision. At first, this salary caused strong opposition within Huawei. Ren insisted on reaching this resolution through open discussion.
In the face of huge annual salary, the mathematician's eyes lit up and finally revealed the reason. It turned out that he didn't want to leave his hometown. His family and his family are in Russia. Although the salary is attractive, the middle price is too big for him.
This matter soon reached the ears of Ren. After some heated discussions, he decided to set up a research institute directly in Russia. On the one hand, Huawei can absorb new technology and professionals from overseas, on the other hand, it is also a new starting point and breakthrough for Huawei.
After all this, Huawei got a talented mathematician as it wished, but the mathematician was free and easy. Every time he goes to work, he seems to be playing computer and games, which makes his colleagues around him very angry.
When Ren Zheng Fei found out, he only said, "Let him be." He even joked with senior officials and asked them to introduce the mathematician to him, saying that he was not even in love.
Ren Zheng Fei didn't think much of his performance. He believes that truly talented people are often eccentric and have different ways of thinking. This is also the reason why he has been left out in the cold. He deeply understands that there is no fixed arrival time for technology research and development, and everything can only wait.
This is more than ten years.
More and more people in the company question his ability, and even wonder if he is a liar to cheat money, just for Huawei's annual salary of more than one million. However, he quickly denied this suspicion with strength and hit everyone in the face.
One day, he was so excited to report to Ren that there was a new breakthrough in the technology from 2g to 3g! He found an algorithm to break through 3g!
Ren immediately arranged for technicians to test and study this. Sure enough, the test proved that this technology is completely feasible!
Huawei switch, adopting the new algorithm researched by mathematicians, not only greatly reduces the research and development cost, but also can handle multiple signal frequency bands with only one antenna. Huawei has also taken a big step forward, and they have begun to enter the European market.
With the support of this technology, Huawei's 5g era has also successfully arrived. Later, he also said in public that Huawei cannot do without the technological breakthrough of mathematicians today.
Ren Zheng Fei also has certain requirements for talent recruitment. He wants to recruit talents, identify real talents through interviews, pay more attention to the selection process of talents, and emancipate his mind and select talents is also very important. Selection officials don't have to stick to their origins and positions, but more importantly, they have a pair of discerning eyes.
In addition, the module R&D center of Huawei's independent intellectual property rights is decided by anyone. Huawei had just received a big order from Vodafone, and many executives suggested using the R&D center in Spain.
Lei Natuo and Alex, who are mainly in charge of research, want to build the research center in Milan. After all, Milan can be said to be the incubator of microwave talents all over the world. Many well-known enterprises have their own research centers in Milan, so they think Huawei can have a special research center for this purpose.
After being unanimously rejected by executives, reato still sticks to his own ideas. In the end, Ren Zheng Fei pushed Huawei to set up a new microwave research center in Milan, which contributed to the development of ODU module with independent intellectual property rights.
