Huawei hates the traitor who digs the wall and the triangle relationship with LeTV and Coolpad is "cut and messed up"

On January 18, it was reported that Huawei internally reported that six former middle and senior executives in Huawei's terminal business had been arrested, suspected of leaking internal information to Coolpad and LeTV. Huawei, LeTV, Coolpad, leaks... A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the news quickly burst the circle of friends.

Subsequently, LeTV's ecological official micro-issued a statement saying that the news was purely rumor-mongering, and it also said that Huawei did disclose the notice that relevant people were taken away by the public security organs due to the leak of secrets, but did not say that the matter was related to LeTV and Coolpad. According to the first financial report, Huawei's terminal department also said that the content in the notice did not involve Coolpad and LeTV, and the personnel involved were not company executives, and the incident mainly involved intellectual property infringement. The patent was valued at about 3 million yuan by an appraisal agency in Shenzhen.

As for why such an incident occurred, Yu Chengdong, head of Huawei's consumer BG, believes that it is because the capital market is agitated and disturbs people's hearts. However, the reason why the outside world is rumored to involve Coolpad and LeTV, he believes that LeTV has invested in the relevant startup company "Zhongsi", and Coolpad's mobile phone business has many cooperation with Zhongsi.

Huawei hates traitors digging into the wall the most

Although the official is secretive about the facts, according to many sources, the personnel who have been identified so far include Wu Bin, Zhang Huimin, Yu Jiao, Li Jingjing, vice presidents of Zhongsi Technology. Coincidentally, these employees belong to the former president of Huawei Glory and the current CEO of Coolpad Liu Jiangfeng's subordinates. According to people familiar with the matter, "These people left Huawei with Liu Jiangfeng. ”

However, according to Lei Feng, Liu Jiangfeng denied this statement, "(These people) some left (Huawei) earlier than me, some left later than me, they themselves had a patent when they started a business, they may have a dispute with Huawei, and Coolpad has nothing to do, they later this company did not do it before they came to Coolpad." ”

Coolpad also mentioned in the announcement that the six employees who were notified by Huawei joined Shanghai Yishi Company to engage in children's watch research and development after leaving Huawei, one of the patents involved infringement against Huawei, and later these six employees did join Coolpad, but from lawyers, family members and other ways to learn that these six employees did not take away any drawings, technical documents and source code of Huawei on children's watches, whether during huawei's employment or after leaving. It does not involve handing over the so-called internal documents to LeEco and Coolpad.

A person close to the 6 former Huawei employees who were arrested pointed out that Huawei arrested people without clarifying the facts, which is flawed, is to take LeTV and Coolpad as enemies, and the main purpose is to crack down on departing employees. According to Huawei insiders, what Huawei hates most is the traitor who digs the foot of the wall. The current Huawei terminal and Coolpad are a competition between Huawei people and former Huawei people.

In fact, Huawei's relationship with LeTV and Coolpad can be described as "cutting and messing up". In 2015, Lezhong, which started with video websites, expanded its mobile phone business and actively recruited talents from huawei and other enterprises; in May 2016, it was even rumored that Huawei had set up a "Music Office" to prevent blockages, and Liu Jiangfeng, president of Huawei Glory, before August last year, jumped to Coolpad as CEO, raising tensions to a high point. It is understood that in addition to Liu Jiangfeng, Lenovo executives Liang Jun, Feng Xing and former Meizu vice president Mo Cuitian have now joined LeTV. Yu Chengdong also admitted that some companies have "poached corners" and even recruited employees who were fired by Huawei for corruption and bribery.

Previously, Huawei had also set up an organization at the highest level to crack down on "defecting employees". In 2000, in order to solve the problem of old employees and institutions, Huawei encouraged employees to start businesses internally, allowing employees to exchange equity for products of corresponding value. Under the incentive of the policy, Li Yinan, then vice president of Huawei, chose to leave Huawei and created a "harbor" for direct competition with Huawei products. Later, due to a series of negative effects brought about by the direct replication of the Huawei model in management and research and development, the "Hong Kong Office" was born.

Corruption is strictly guarded against

Since 2007, Ren Zhengfei has led a group of Huawei executives to correct their work style, as they have done every year. A few days ago, Ren Zhengfei led key executives to take an oath at Huawei's Shenzhen Bantian base, declaring that the content of the declaration included: no arrival, no corruption and bribery, no use of company resources, no lying, no cover, etc. Ren Zhengfei often emphasizes that "nine holes are out of the force, one hole is profitable", and he hopes to ensure the unity of employees and strictly prohibit running and dripping.

He also said that last year's company's flow was 1 trillion US dollars, this year should be about 1.5 trillion US dollars of flow, the flow of each document may be catty, but not as much as imagined, which is mainly the contribution of employees. "Although you look at the company's problems a lot, we see that the overall situation should still be good, absolute purity does not exist, we pursue relative purity. Development never ends, and internal control never ends. The medal is only a commemoration of the stage, not the end. ”

Huawei's legal system is leading in China and has accumulated many years of experience, and it is not soft on outsiders and not soft on insiders. Generally, departing employees will sign a ban clause, so many departees will start a business and do something different from before, but there are some edges to avoid risks. But why these former employees are still caught, it is still waiting for the court judgment.

Huawei's defense against corruption and leaks can be described as strict prevention. As early as 2005, Huawei began to mobilize internal management positions to swear an oath to eliminate corruption through written documents, and Ren Zhengfei set the focus of the company's management as "anti-corruption" after the self-discipline oath meeting of the board of directors on January 14, 2013, requiring that the legitimate income of senior cadres can only come from Huawei's dividends and salaries, and not to obtain any other income by abusing their power and accepting bribes.

In 2014, Huawei disclosed at the anti-corruption conference that a total of 116 Huawei employees suspected of corruption were investigated and punished, of which 83 Huawei employees confessed internally and 29 voluntarily declared, which were all given lighter punishments internally, and the remaining 4 problematic employees who were found were transferred to the judiciary.
