Huawei has ushered in another talented teenager.
At the beginning of 2022, Fudan University officials revealed that Lin Tian, who studied in the School of Information Science and Engineering of the university, has completed the signing of a contract with Huawei, and after graduation, he will join Huawei's wireless products department and continue to deepen his cultivation in the field of 5G communications. This means that Lin Tian officially became the first Huawei "genius teenager" to make a public appearance in 2022.
At present, Huawei is recruiting excellent talents around the world. Not long ago, two post-00s Russian genius teenagers also joined Huawei, they are 22-year-old girl Valeria Ryabchikova and 20-year-old boy Ilya Khlyustov, both studying at Nizhny Novgorod State University, and the two are teammates in the International Undergraduate Programming Competition (ICPC). They will work as senior engineers at the Huawei Novgorod Institute.
Talent is vitality. Since 2019, Ren Zhengfei has organized and launched the "Genius Teenagers" program. Simply put, it is to attract top talent with top challenges and top salaries. Today, Huawei's "genius teenager" has become the most sensational enrollment in the college circle every year. Among them, Huazhong University of Science and Technology can be called the biggest winner at present - a total of 6 graduates have been selected. Teenagers are strong and strong, and these top brains are active in the front line of cutting-edge technology.
Fudan post-90s boys
From the verge of dropping out of school to become a talented teenager of Huawei
The story of this Huawei genius teenager can be called a good story of counterattack.
The official website of Fudan University revealed that Lin Tian's results when he first entered Fudan were not ideal, and the grade point in the first semester of his freshman year was only 1.8, while the grade point of Fudan was 4.0, which was obviously far from the same. As for the reasons for this situation, Lin Tian once recalled: "At that time, I thought that the university could just play casually, and completely indulged in the game. I didn't adapt to the lack of disciplined learning environment in time, and I found that my homework was completely abandoned by the time of the final exam. ”
The disappointment in his parents touched Lin Tian. One year, during the Spring Festival, the school teacher called home and told Lin Tian's parents that if Lin Tian was still such a low grade point, he would be at risk of dropping out of school. For the situation at that time, Lin Tian still remembers vividly, "I remember very clearly, on the day when wanjia was happy to spend the Lantern Festival, my parents wanted to send me to the station to return to school to take the make-up exam. Since then, he has secretly made up his mind to change himself.
Lin Tian ushered in a turning point in his sophomore year, and he chose to major in communication engineering when he routinely chose the direction. In his view, this was an opportunity for his own redemption. In his sophomore year, Lin Tian uninstalled online games, stopped hiding in the dormitory in his spare time, and began to practice questions repeatedly... A series of positive changes quietly happened in him.
With unremitting efforts, Lin Tian also achieved an excellent performance point close to a perfect score of 4.0 in his junior year, which was impressive. For the low point when he first entered school, Lin Tian is still unforgettable. He has said that that time tempered his willpower and resistance to pressure. "I've already come out of the trough, and no matter what predicament I encounter, I have no reason not to believe that I can come out a second time."
In the article of Fudan University, it is also mentioned that Lin Tian, who has become more and more excellent in his studies, came to the laboratory of Professor Zhu Yu of the Department of Communication Science and Engineering on the recommendation of the counselor and started his scientific research career. Up to now, Lin Tian has published 13 papers, including 8 SCI papers and 5 EI search conference papers. He also successfully won the National Scholarship and was also named an Outstanding Student Pacesetter of Fudan University in the 2020-2021 academic year.
It is precisely because of the publication of papers in top international journals that Lin Tian has entered Huawei's vision. In 2019, after contact and understanding, Huawei established a cooperative scientific research project with Lintian's laboratory. Subsequently, Lin Tian also got the opportunity to intern at Huawei last summer and entered Huawei's wireless products department. What impressed him most about this internship experience was that the department leader stressed to him: "Huawei always pursues the rigor of technology, and strives to be the best in both theory and practice." ”
Later, Lin Tian's excellent internship report was recognized by the department leader and recommended him to participate in the interview of "Huawei Genius Teenager". The opportunity could not be missed, and Lin Tian accepted it without hesitation.
Huawei's "genius teenagers" recruitment standards are very strict, generally need to go through about 7 rounds of process: resume screening, written test, initial interview, supervisor interview, several minister interviews, president interviews, HR interviews. Any problem or poor performance in any of these links may fail, which shows how difficult it is to be selected. In the end, Lin Tian passed through multiple levels and was successfully selected for Huawei's "Genius Teenager" program. Imagining the future, Lin Tian hopes that he will continue to cultivate in the field of communications, inject his own strength into scientific and technological innovation, and contribute to the country.
Find the world's top brains
Just recruited two Russian post-00s geniuses
Huawei has also extended an olive branch to the world.
Not long ago, the Huawei Voice community announced a news: Huawei recruited two Russian post-00s talented teenagers into its hands - one is a 22-year-old girl Valeria Ryabchikova, and the other is 20-year-old Ilya Khlyustov. It is reported that they will join huawei's Novgorod Research Institute as senior engineers. Surprisingly, the two were teammates in ICPC competitions together.
ICPC has the title of "The Olympic Games of Programming" and is considered to be the highest level and largest programming design competition for college students in the world. Its format is harsh — not by human scoring, but by a computer. Three members of each team, with only 1 computer, need to solve 7 to 13 problems in 5 hours using one of the programs in C/C++, Java and Python, such as optimizing subway schedules, simulating air traffic control, tracking robot movements, simulating airport baggage collection, estimating oil reserves, and so on.
When a question is solved, the team submits it to the evaluator, which determines whether it is correct. If the submitted program does not work correctly, it will be returned to the participating team, which can modify it and submit the issue again. It is reported that the competition has nearly 60,000 college students from more than 100 countries and more than 3,000 universities participating in the competition every year, and only the best teams can enter the world finals, and the winning college students are recognized as the world's best programming talents.
Since 2012, Huawei has sponsored ICPC, and in addition to sponsoring regional competitions and finals, Huawei will also cooperate with ICPC to hold unit challenges, marathon competitions, and training camps.
On October 6, 2021, the 44th ICPC Finals ended in Moscow, Russia. Valeria and two teammates made it through the ICPC Nordic (NCRC) regional semifinals to finish second in the region and reach the global finals. After 5 hours of matchups, the Valeria team became the only team to successfully solve 12 questions, winning the ICPC championship.
Valeria Ryabchikova
Subsequently, the post-00s genius teenager officially joined Huawei's Nizhny Novgorod Institute to engage in research on intelligent computing application acceleration technology.
According to the data, Valeria studied at the Institute of Information Science, Mathematical Machinery of Nizhny Novgorod State University, which is a well-known institution of higher learning in Russia and even Europe. She has loved solving interesting math puzzles since she was a child, taking part in math competitions during elementary school and programming competitions starting in 10th grade. After entering college, Valeria continued to compete, and later after a competition, she met a Bó Lè coach, Shmelev Alexey.
Shmelev Alexey joined Huawei's Nizhny Novgorod Institute in May 2021, and in his spare time, he insisted on doing ICPC training for students, and the institute also actively provided alexey and students with training venues and some help within his ability. Through Alexey, Valeria was exposed to Huawei while in college.
Teammate Ilya Khlyustov, who was selected with Valeria, is also from Nizhny Novgorod State University. It is reported that 20-year-old Ilya Khlyustov has successfully passed the 45th ICPC semi-finals with her teammates, and they will meet other teams in Bangladesh in November 2022.
Ilya Khlyustov
At present, Huawei has a total of 5 Huawei research centers in Russia. With the exception of the Nizhny Novgorod Institute, where Valeria is employed, the remaining four are located in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan and Novosibirsk. It is reported that Russia will become Huawei's third largest overseas research and development center after Europe and North America. The research and development of Huawei's Hongmeng operating system and its mobile phone applications has involved a large number of Russian engineers.
Huawei creates a talented youth group
Millions of annual salaries per capita
The talented teenager who brushes the screen every year can be called the true portrayal of Ren Zhengfei and Huawei's thirst for talents.
This plan began in 2019. In June of that year, Huawei's EMT (management team) disclosed in an internal speech: Ren Zhengfei said, "This year (2019) we will recruit 20-30 talented teenagers from all over the world, and next year we also want to recruit 200-300 talents from all over the world." ”
Huawei's official website introduced: The Genius Junior Program was initiated by Ren Zhengfei, with a total of three standards for salary and treatment, the highest of which is 2.01 million, mainly around the six major topics of "connectivity", "artificial intelligence", "intelligent terminal", "cloud and computing", "intelligent car", and "intelligent manufacturing".
In July 2019, Ren Zhengfei issued an email from the President's Office announcing the implementation of annual salary management for 8 top students of the class of 2019. They are all doctoral degrees, and the annual salary of the top two employees is 1.82 million to 2.01 million yuan; the annual salary of two employees is 1.405 million to 1.565 million yuan; and the final four employees have an annual salary of 896,000-1.008 million yuan.
It is reported that Huawei University has an examination system with a large number of examination questions, and it is necessary to pass the examination before there is an interview opportunity. Ren Zhengfei once introduced, "For example, if you win a gold medal in the World Computer Competition, your salary may be 5 or 6 times the usual entry level." Every year, there are 40 gold medalists in the world, and we dig a bunch of them in, and the salary is set to be higher than Google. ”
Here we have to mention Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Last year, the latest inductee of Huawei's "Genius Teenagers" program was exposed, and Liao Minghui, a 2017 doctoral student at the School of Telecommunications of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, won the highest annual salary of the genius teenagers of 2.01 million yuan; Wu Minyan, an undergraduate graduate of the School of Computer Science, also earned more than one million yuan. So far, a total of 6 talented teenagers have come out of Huake for 3 consecutive years, and the other 4 are Zhang Ji, Yao Ting, Zuo Pengfei and Zhong Zhao.
Why Huake? According to the data, in the past five years, the number of undergraduate graduates of Huazhong University of Science and Technology who have entered Huawei has exceeded 320, and the cumulative number of employees has exceeded 10,000. At present, the number of Huake graduates is about 5,700, which not only transports a large number of talents, but also promotes the establishment of Huawei Wushu Research Institute in Wuhan.
Looking back at Ren Zhengfei's entrepreneurial history, Huawei's early development is inseparable from the help of Huake alumni. Zheng Baoyong, known as Huawei's "second chief", and many Huake alumni such as Guo Ping and Hu Houkun have served as vice presidents and rotating CEOs of Huawei; even Huawei vice chairman and CFO Meng Wanzhou are also Huake graduates. At the age of 15, Li Yinan, who was admitted to the junior class of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, became the executive vice president of Huawei at the age of 26, which can be called the first person of Huawei's genius teenagers.
All of the above seems to confirm a saying in the anecdote: "Huake is Huawei's mother's family, and Huawei is Huake's owner."
So far, Huawei's TalentEd Youth Selection Program has recruited a group of talents with great potential. In Huawei's words, they want to look for - dreaming of making the world a better place with the power of science and technology; willing to explore the unknown, eager to engage in the most cutting-edge scientific and technological research; aspiring to become a technology leader; daring to innovate and dare to be the first in the world.
In today's world, talent is the highest barrier to competition and the most powerful weapon. When the top brains converge, everything is solved.
