When it comes to Meng Wanzhou, the first thing that comes to mind is Ren Zhengfei's daughter, the CFO of Huawei, and her experience in Canada.
In some public places, people are more familiar with Huawei executives such as Ren Zhengfei, Xu Zhijun, and Yu Chengdong. But for Meng Wanzhou, the outside world does not know much.
In fact, as the CFO of a Fortune 500 company, Meng Wanzhou is first of all a top financial expert, and her professional ability is very strong.
Huawei's official evaluation of Meng Wanzhou is very accurate:
"Under her leadership, Huawei Finance has become the world's leading digital and intelligent financial organization, creating a solid and reliable business foundation for Huawei and helping the company achieve its strategy in the new era."
At present, Huawei has about 195,000 employees and operates in more than 170 countries and regions, involving the financial management of many branches, representative offices, research institutes and other organizations, such as salaries, accounts, office expenses, exchange rates, etc. The accounts are complex and easy to make mistakes. Meng Wanzhou led the team to build Huawei's financial digital system in one or two decades, and really managed the "money".
Therefore, Meng Wanzhou's professional ability is extremely strong and his contribution is very large. However, in addition to professional quality, Meng Wanzhou, as the daughter of Ren Zhengfei, also has a high humanistic quality, such as her speech, which has ren Zhengfei's style and is very inspiring.
In 2018, Meng Wanzhou gave a speech at Chengdu University of Electronic Science and Technology, which was extremely high and benefited people a lot.
"It doesn't matter where you start, what matters is where you end up." Every ordinary person has a great pair of wings, it's just that sometimes we forget to flap. ”
Meng Wanzhou told young people that ordinary life can also bloom extraordinary light, as long as you make the following 3 choices.
1. Choose an industry trend.
"Since the industrial revolution, a new industrial cycle is about 50 to 60 years, the first thirty years are the vertical development of technology, and the last thirty years are the horizontal expansion of applications." ”
Mankind is at the singularity of the cycle from informatization to intelligent industry, and the ICT industry, as the cornerstone of intelligent society, will have a digital transformation market space of 23 trillion US dollars.
Therefore, Meng Wanzhou's advice to young people is to increase their probability of success and "choose industries that walk with the general trend of social development", such as Huawei.
The future society is an intelligent society, "human society is in a transition period, the next two or three decades will become an intelligent society, intelligent society is the information explosion society." Ren Zhengfei has stressed this point many times, "In the next 20-30 years, traditional society will definitely evolve into an information society, although we do not understand the form of realization, but the trend has been obvious." This is the most important turning point in human society in the past thousand years, full of the expectations and missions of the times, we must contribute to the transmission, processing and storage of information. ”
As Meng Wanzhou said, young people's efforts must find the right direction and follow the trend in order to achieve greater achievements.
2. Choose a platform for growth.
The so-called time, place, and people are the three elements of success and victory. The trend is the day, the platform is the location. If a person wants to have a good growth, it is crucial to choose a platform suitable for their own growth.
"Ascending and moving, the arm is not lengthened, and the seeer is far away", Meng Wanzhou quoted a sentence from Xunzi, she said: The platform is the amplifier of personal value, and it is also an extension line of personal value.
Positioning determines status, and vision determines thought. As a strong multinational company, Huawei is a large international platform, and standing on such a platform will undoubtedly play a great role in blessing for individuals.
The fact is that the environment has a strong influence on people, the power of the individual is small, only by putting yourself in a good environmental ecology, the individual can grow faster and become stronger.
For example, a young person joins a company like Huawei after graduation, a young person joins a startup after graduation, and after three or five years, the gap may be very large (of course, there is also a probability problem, and it is more important to choose with the right person for the company).
3. Select a focus direction.
Life time is limited, if you are half-hearted, see different ideas, opportunism, then it is naturally difficult to achieve anything.
Only one thing to do in a lifetime, Meng Wanzhou pointed out, focusing on a limited life in one direction and continuing to invest, it is possible to break through.
Meng Wanzhou took polar code (polar code, one of the 5G technical standards) as an example, the inventor of polar code Professor Erdal Arikan has been studying for 26 years, and Huawei has spent almost a decade to complete the transformation from academic research to industrial applications.
Ren Zhengfei often said that the bench was willing to sit cold for ten years, which was to emphasize that if the work is to be outstanding, it must be able to withstand loneliness. Do things with the spirit of nails and the principle of pressure.
"If a ship doesn't know which port to sail to, the wind blowing in any direction is not a tailwind." Meng Wanzhou used this sentence to encourage young people to have the courage to stick to the right direction.
Life is short, if you want to live up to your youth and life, you must make a good choice.
The theme of Meng Wanzhou's speech was "Coming to Japan is not long, choosing to decide the future", she calculated an account, "Assuming that a person can work for 35 years, work 8 hours a day, 250 working days a year, we really spend only 70,000 hours at work." ”
There is also a "law of 10,000 hours", if a person wants to go from ordinary to extraordinary, the necessary condition is to go through 10,000 hours of tempering.
The most frightening thing is that one exposure to ten colds, hard work has not accumulated, "those who have no ambitions, no obvious light; those who have no worries, no outstanding achievements." ”
Only by being single-minded in spirit, being tied to one place, and immersing one's head in hard work can we have no regrets in our lives.
