"When Huawei talks about innovation, the first thing to talk about is talent, and yesterday Huawei once again issued a call order for talented teenagers to the world." On April 26, at the scene of Huawei's global analyst conference, Hu Houkun, huawei's rotating chairman, said.
In the past two years, Huawei's official website has repeatedly appeared in the recruitment posters of talented teenagers, offering salaries of more than 5 times the average income of the industry, hoping to recruit talents in the fields of digital, computer, physics, materials, chips, intelligent manufacturing, and chemistry.
At the press conference of the Global Analyst Conference, Hu Houkun laughed at the media, including The Times Weekly, saying that "5 times salary is a imaginative thing."
Huawei's "Genius Youth" project was officially announced in June 2019. At that time, Ren Zhengfei mentioned in his speech within Huawei's EMT (management team), "This year (2019) we will recruit 20-30 talented teenagers from all over the world, and next year we will also recruit 200-300 talents from all over the world." These gifted teenagers are like 'loaches', drilling into our organization and activating our ranks. ”
A month later, an email from Huawei's president's office, signed by Ren Zhengfei, showed 8 talented teenagers who received Huawei's top salaries.
Their salaries are paid according to the annual wage system, with a total of 3 grades, namely 896,000 yuan - 1,008,000 yuan, 1,405,000 yuan - 1,565,000 yuan, and 1,820,000 yuan - 2,010,010 yuan.
Of course, the top pay under the top challenge is not easy to get. According to Zhang Ji, Huawei's "genius teenager" who obtained the highest annual salary, Huawei's interview generally needs to go through about 7 rounds of processes, including resume screening, written test, initial interview, supervisor interview, several minister interviews, president interviews, and HR interviews. Each link will go through strict assessment and screening, so it will also encounter many challenges and obstacles, and any link that has problems or poor performance may fail, which is very difficult.
In the documentary "100 Faces of Huawei's Genius Teenagers", "Genius Teenager" Peng Zhihui said that Huawei's biggest attraction to him is not high salary, but to be able to exchange and learn with a group of industry bulls. Huawei has many top talents, including many industry experts and talented teenagers like him, who are the guarantee that he can continue to learn and improve himself.
"Let the geniuses come in droves and use the concentration of talents to fight against the difficulty of technology." At the previous 2021 annual report press conference, Guo Ping, then Huawei's rotating chairman, said that Huawei will increase its attraction to talents, especially top talents, at any time, and it is necessary to rely on talents to solve Huawei's problems.
Guo Ping said that from 2020 to 2021, Huawei will recruit about 26,000 fresh graduates, of which more than 300 are defined by Huawei as "talented teenagers". In 2022, Huawei plans to recruit more than 10,000 fresh graduates.
It is no secret that Huawei attaches great importance to R&D: in 2021, Huawei's R&D investment reached 142.7 billion yuan, accounting for 22.4% of the annual revenue, and the cumulative R&D expenditure invested in 10 years exceeded 845 billion yuan. In 2021, about 107,000 people will be engaged in research and development, accounting for about 54.8% of the total number of companies.
Huawei believes that it cannot achieve high-quality survival only by cutting down on food and clothing, and it can only have a future if it adheres to strategic investment and strengthens itself. Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's rotating chairman and CFO, proposed that Huawei's real value lies in the long-term investment in research and development, the research and development capabilities, research and development teams, and research and development platforms that have been precipitated and accumulated, which is the core of Huawei's long-term and sustainable competitiveness.
Another set of data released by Huawei is also interesting: in 2021, the cost of paying wages, salaries and other benefits will reach 137.1 billion yuan, and the average monthly salary per employee will be nearly 60,000 yuan, and the annual salary will be 703,000 yuan.
At the same time, Huawei will distribute dividends to shareholders of about 61.4 billion yuan in 2021, which means that more than 130,000 employees of Huawei will be able to share in Huawei's annual dividend plan, with a per capita dividend of nearly 470,000 yuan. Based on Huawei's total employees of 195,000 at the end of last year, Huawei's current employee shareholding ratio is 67.4%.
