On the shores of the turquoise Songshan Lake, European-style ancient castle buildings are hidden between the lake and the mountains, looking at it from a distance, like a fairy tale world. Each complex draws on the ancient architectural styles of various parts of Europe, and is integrated with the superior ecological environment of the surrounding area, which is breathtaking, and it is as if you have come to Europe during your stay.
This is not Europe, this is Huawei's "most beautiful headquarters" - Dongguan Songshan Lake European Town, which cost more than 10 billion yuan and covers an area of 1,900 mu (1.27 million square meters).
What is it like to work in this picturesque European town?
Walking into The Huawei Headquarters Base in Songshan Lake, you will be greeted by antique medieval towers and Renaissance-style Gothic buildings, and a romantic and classical historical atmosphere will come to you.
The entire Huawei R&D base brings together 12 of Europe's most distinctive townscapes:
Oxford University District, Ingle-Windermere Lakes District, Luxembourg Castle District in Europe, Bruges Old Town District in Belgium, Fribourg in Switzerland, Burgundy in France, Verona in Italy, Paris District, Granada in Spain, Bologna in Italy, Heidelberg in Germany, South Bohemian Klenov in the Czech Republic.
These towns are said to be restored one-to-one according to local landmarks, perfectly reproducing the local European architectural features.
Strolling through the Oxford district, you can feel the temple-like academic atmosphere throughout the neighborhood.
Walk through the lawn square on the shores of Lake Windermere, and the fresh and idyllic atmosphere that comes to you is refreshing and the mood is instantly comfortable.
Wandering through the city of colonnades in the Italian style, there is a sense of trance where time and space are intertwined.
Huawei's Songshan Lake HEADQUARTERS base is really too big, the company is equipped with trains as a means of transportation in the base, each district has a station, and employees must take the park shuttle train to and from various office areas.
Ride huawei's shuttle train, enjoy the picturesque scenery along the way, and make people feel like they are in Europe! You don't have to go to Europe to visit 12 famous European towns, which is perhaps the most attractive charm of Huawei's European towns.
Huawei's castle-style office buildings are distributed in 12 European towns, and the lakes and mountains outside the office buildings are picturesque and full of beautiful scenery.
In addition, the towns are dotted with restaurants, cafes, convenience stores and more. Huawei's European town truly explains what is called "the most beautiful headquarters".
Where is this work? It is clear that you are on vacation and enjoying life! Huawei people are so happy!
Where is there such a company? Able to get employees to work in the castle and commute by small train? A successful enterprise must not only have good treatment, but also have a good office and living environment in order to retain excellent talents. And these factors, Huawei all have!
Previously, some netizens questioned: As a Chinese enterprise, when Huawei first built Huawei's ABP, why did it abandon the traditional Chinese ancient Chinese garden architectural style and choose European-style architecture?
I remember that Mr. Ren once mentioned this issue in an exclusive interview with Yahoo Finance.
"Huawei's Songshan Lake base is a bid by a world-famous construction company.
The chief designer wanted to use the world's classic architecture to make an architectural museum, so he designed a European town.
There is no special symbolism, it is all about being pretty and nice.
As long as the designers think it is beautiful, Huawei accepts it."
Netizens actually think more, the Huawei Songshan Lake headquarters into a European town, is the designer's creativity, and the European-style building looks more pleasing to the eye, in such a beautiful environment to work, people feel happy!
In addition, spending a lot of money to create such a beautiful office and living environment as a European town also fully demonstrates Huawei's strength and huawei's emphasis on employees!
Although Huawei is a local enterprise, but Huawei people with years of continuous hard work, only to develop into a global company that is now at the forefront of science and technology, Huawei's products are also all over the world, the reason why Huawei can ride in the high-tech field, this is inseparable from the great contribution made by Huawei's excellent scientific research team!
As an international company, Huawei has an international mindset and an international pattern.
"Whoever has first-class innovative talents and first-class scientists will be able to occupy an absolute advantage in scientific and technological innovation"! Mr. Ren once said so.
It is precisely because of the emphasis on talent that Huawei has brought together a large number of top scientific research elites at home and abroad, and huawei currently has more than 190,000 employees around the world. Huawei has also been committed to recruiting talents and attracting outstanding talents from all over the world, in order to retain outstanding talents and create a first-class office environment for employees, which is also understandable!
In addition, being able to let these overseas scientists and R&D personnel work and live in a beautiful European-style environment can make them find a familiar sense of home and a strong sense of belonging, so that they can contribute to Huawei more steadily.
For example, the key figure in Huawei's 5G leadership is Turkish scientist Erdal Arikan. It can be said that Huawei's 5G has achieved such a great achievement today, Erdal Arikan is indispensable!
In fact, Ren Zong also gave this European town a very grounded Chinese name - Stream Back Slope Village.
As a high-tech company, many of Huawei's product naming is actually derived from Chinese historical terms or allusions, such as the well-known Qilin, Kunpeng, Hongmeng, Haisi, Taishan, Ark, etc., almost including the entire "Classic of Mountains and Seas" of the mythical beast name. Each name has a special meaning!
From these names, we can see the ambition of Huawei people to break new ground, and we can also feel the hardships of Huawei people! And the heroic spirit of pursuing freedom and breaking through the shackles!
This is enough to show that Huawei attaches great importance to the combination of Chinese culture and technology, and adheres to the road of internationalization!
Huawei's achievements that have attracted the world's attention today are inseparable from the continuous efforts of Huawei people over the years. Today's Huawei has become a technology giant, shouldering the mission of revitalizing national science and technology, and is the benchmark for Chinese enterprises to go to the world!
Strong science and technology is strong in the country!
Huawei Huawei, Zhonghua Youwei! Bless Huawei never stops, fearless wind and rain, and bravely move forward!
