We all know that Ren Zhengfei studied construction engineering, but few people know that Ren Zhengfei's university is a graduation course - he did not get a diploma. Once, the alma mater wanted to posthumously award Ren Zhengfei a university diploma, but Ren Zhengfei refused: No, seek truth from facts.
Ren Zhengfei studied at the Chongqing Institute of Civil Engineering and Architecture (now Chongqing University) in 1963, strictly speaking, he did not study architecture, but the HVAC major in the building (according to Professor Wu Chunbo, a management consultant at Huawei), and due to special historical reasons, Ren Zhengfei did not get a diploma.
When the leaders of Ren Zhengfei's alma mater visited Huawei, they specially prepared an unexpected surprise to hold a ceremony to posthumously award a graduation certificate for Ren Zhengfei, but they did not want to be politely rejected by Ren Zhengfei, and Ren Zhengfei's reason for refusal was: to seek truth from facts, you should not take a graduation certificate without graduation.
Compared with today's era of paying attention to academic qualifications everywhere, or even the "first degree", Ren Zhengfei, who did not graduate from college, rejected the posthumous academic qualifications of his alma mater, which can be said to be a kind of irony and encouragement to this bubble society.
Look at our society today, vanity and materialism are rampant.
Liu Ren, the CEO of a high-tech company in Shenzhen, who had previously made a lot of trouble in the education, business and academic circles, claimed to be a bachelor's degree, a master's degree in Tsinghua University, and a Stanford doctor. Unexpectedly, it was publicly counterfeited by the Xinchuang Alumni Foundation of the University of Science and Technology of China, and Liu Someone, who originally had the aura of genius and elite of top famous universities, had all three academic qualifications faked.
Of course, the reasons for the falsification of academic qualifications may be varied, but what is constantly changing is still desire, rich material interests and vain spiritual satisfaction.
Ren Zhengfei's evaluation of the domestic scientific research environment is to the point: young elites are busy going to "short and fast", they all want to make more money, where is the time to do research? Ren Zhengfei had to sigh that a bubble society could not produce scientists!
In fact, why can't scientists be produced, why can't there be a second Huawei in China for decades?
Ren Zheng very often warns Huawei's R&D personnel that to engage in scientific and technological research and development, it is necessary to have the courage and persistence of "sitting on the bench for ten years", and to endure loneliness.
In order for 200,000 Huawei people to endure loneliness, the boss himself must of course first endure loneliness.
In the workplace, I have seen too many business founders and bosses in the enterprise how to shape their own personal glorious image, the enterprise is posted everywhere is the boss speech, photos of important people, it seems that without the boss's image and speech, the enterprise has no culture.
We have seen too many business owners and executives, but whenever they go to branches and subordinate departments, the subordinate units must be fully mobilized, from the reception process to the atmosphere of the scene, they must be solemn, and they do not dare to slack off.
Such a company is not customer-centric, it is all boss-centric.
In Huawei, Ren Zhengfei, who can be called the "great boss" by hundreds of thousands of Huawei people, is probably the first person in China.
However, on the walls of Huawei's headquarters and all branches and branches around the world, you can't find any picture with ren Zhengfei's image.
Ren Zhengfei traveled on business, always a light car, took a taxi by himself, lined up to drag a trolley box, and took the subway by himself. This old man with wrinkled foreheads stood in the crowd and was almost indistinguishable from the uncle who was guarding the door.
Ren Zhengfei went to the local office to inspect, and the person in charge of the office got a luxury car to pick it up, and the result was that Ren Zhengfei scolded the dog blood sprinkler: You must face the customer with your head and your ass against the leader!
This is Ren Zhengfei, who can do it?
"Head to customer, butt to leader", in fact, is one of the core of Huawei's culture, customer-centric.
Easier said than done. Although the expression is different, almost all good companies will take customer centricity as one of their corporate values. However, after many enterprises have completed the original accumulation of capital, become large enterprises, and become the MBA case of the School of Business and Management, the customer is no longer God, and many times, shareholders and managers have become the center of the enterprise.
Remember that 85% of the MBA case companies we studied in college in our early years have now collapsed.
Of course, Huawei is also facing this risk at all times, and Huawei also has a big enterprise disease.
A former Huawei executive said that after Huawei's annual sales reached $15 billion, it also began to show signs of laxity and complacency, slapping their chests, prevaricating with each other, communicating poorly, not respecting customers but educating customers... Vodafone CTO once commented: I don't know where Huawei came from so many proud and complacent young people!
Sure enough, the "Ma Dian Incident" broke out (later became Huawei's most classic self-criticism case), because the delivery problem was delayed in solving, and the CEO of Malaysia Telecom had to complain to Huawei Chairman Sun Yafang, who realized that the situation was serious, quickly led the supervision to solve the Ma Dian incident, and promoted Huawei to carry out a comprehensive organizational critique: Where do we put customers? How to be customer-centric, what is the struggle? ....
The "Ma Dian incident" woke up Huawei: customer-centric, can become a genius; with leadership as the center, it will become a slave; self-centered, it will become a fool.
Huawei has no secrets, Huawei's way of growing, it's as simple as that: customer-centric.
In order to deeply decipher the wisdom of Ren Zhengfei's entrepreneurship, management, operation, and work in creating and leading Huawei, he has served as Huawei's senior management consultant since 1996, the drafting author of huawei's Basic Law, And Mr. Huang Weiwei, huawei's chief management scientist and professor of the business school of Chinese Min University, who has tracked and studied Huawei for more than 20 years, and spent 5 years leading Huawei executives, senior consultants, and management scientists to jointly write and complete a set of Huawei management trilogies - "Strivers-oriented", "Value-oriented", and "Customer-centric".
This is a set of officially authorized works of Huawei approved by Ren Zhengfei and reviewed by the rotating CEO, which comprehensively analyzes the essence of Huawei's human resources, business, financial and financial management, and interprets the management practices of Huawei's management for nearly 30 years.
