Today's Huawei plays an important role in many fields in China. But as early as before, when Huawei was only a small company, it was the "Huawei Prince" who led the company to the top. But in the end, he not only did not become Huawei's successor, but became a competitor with Huawei. So, what's going on here?
Almost any company has gone through hardships to become bigger, and Huawei is no exception. Long ago, Huawei encountered many obstacles and the development situation was not satisfactory. But it wasn't until a graduate student interned at Huawei that the company changed the status quo at the time, and he was Li Yinan.
Mentioning that he believes that many people are more familiar, this once potentially become Huawei's successor, only at the age of 27 to sit in the position of Huawei's vice president. So, what advantage did he use to achieve this position?
In fact, Li Yinan has been called a genius teenager since he was a child, and after working at Huawei, he has overcome one difficulty after another for Huawei with his wise mind.
Specifically, in 1993, Li Yinan and technical personnel developed a digital switch, which directly allowed Huawei to win an order of 1.3 billion. This order was very important for Huawei, which was far less than that at that time, and this order was very important to it.
After that, he developed a digital switch with a 2,000 door network. In addition, Li Yinan was also very prescient in the field of communications, at that time, almost no one would use GSM equipment, but Li Yinan insisted on research and development in this field. It turns out that his persistence is not wrong, and it is precisely because of this that Huawei occupies an absolute dominant position in the field of communications.
And Li Yinan's time in the research and development department, but also successfully let Huawei's revenue soar, breaking through 20 billion, you know, when Li Yinan first arrived at Huawei, the number of employees at that time was only 200 people, and the revenue was even less than 100 million. In this way, Huawei's growth under the leadership of Li Yinan is very rapid.
It is worth noting that Li Yinan's efforts have also paid off. After officially joining Huawei, in just two days, he sat in the position of engineer, after which Li Yinan developed new technologies for Huawei while also constantly promoting, only when he was 27 years old, he was already the vice president of the company, which can be described as young and promising.
But also because Li Yinan is too young, his edges and corners have not been polished, so there are still major problems in the company's behavior. And Ren Zhengfei is also in the eyes of this situation, in order to polish Li Yinan well in all aspects, Ren Zhengfei transferred him to the marketing department for exercise.
But in Li Yinan's view, this was abandoned by Huawei, so he proposed to leave. It is worth noting that after leaving Huawei, Li Yinan was imprisoned for greed at the age of 45. So, what illegal things did Li Yinan do during this period?
In fact, when Li Yinan left Huawei, he himself had some dissatisfaction, so he also had some conflicts with Huawei after that. But in the end, Li Yinan still chose to start over in the field of car building. It is precisely because of this that he has done something illegal.
Specifically, in 2015, he established Niudian Technology, decided to start a business this time, and must do something big. Under the leadership of Li Yinan, the company has also launched electric vehicles. But surprisingly, after the release of the new electric car, he also went to jail.
Mainly because, as early as 2014, Li Yinan found a faster way to make money, that is, to make money in the capital market. At that time, he asked his sister and mother to buy a large number of shares of the company when Central China CNC was in the restructuring stage, and earned 70 million yuan at once.
It is precisely because of Li Yinan's greed that he was imprisoned at the age of 45. It is worth noting that after Li Yinan was released from prison, he once again invested in the field of car building and competed with Huawei.
At the end of 2021, Li Yinan officially announced the Niu Innovation Energy Company that he had built for 3 years, and on January 12, 2022, he officially launched his first car, the Self-Touring NV. It is worth noting that the project was started by Li Yinan as early as 2018, so until now, it has made good achievements in the industrial chain and employees.
As we all know, Huawei has long been involved in the field of car manufacturing, but at present, it has also focused more on the technological breakthrough of automobiles. That is to say, Li Yinan's car-making project will also have Huawei competition in the future.
