Successful entrepreneur Ren Zhengfei created the "Huawei Empire", which has become a miracle in Shenzhen and led to the development of communication technology in the mainland.
Everyone knows his entrepreneurial history, but as the old saying goes, "successful men have the support of women behind them", so who is behind Ren Zhengfei?
Mentioning Huawei's number one Ren Zhengfei, everyone first thought of Huawei, and then they thought of Meng Wanzhou.
Indeed, he had an excellent daughter. But in fact, he had three children.
The eldest daughter Meng Wanzhou, the son Ren Ping, and the younger daughter Yao Anna. Some people can't help but wonder, why do three children have three surnames? This also starts with his wife Meng Jun.
Meng Jun: Vice Governor of Sichuan Qianjin
Meng Jun is the daughter of Qianjin, vice governor of Sichuan, who grew up in a family with favorable conditions, coupled with a strong personality, well-behaved and beautiful, and there is no shortage of suitors for some cadres' children.
She also served as the political commissar of Chongqing, with 300,000 officers and soldiers under her command, and then left the army for personal reasons because of layoffs in the army.
She met Ren Zhengfei when she was working in the army, and the two people were very different, but they formed a deep fate.
Ren Zhengfei was born in 1944, his hometown is in a small mountain village in Guizhou, because his parents are people's teachers, so he has made great efforts in his education.
Sometimes the family can't eat a full meal, and if they want to eat meat, they have to celebrate the New Year's Festival. The poor life made Ren Zhengfei love learning even more, and he was inspired to walk out of the mountains from an early age.
Ren Zhengfei showed unique intelligence in learning, and was admitted to the Physics Department of Guizhou University after the college entrance examination, but he was not satisfied with his results and chose to repeat the study.
After the second college entrance examination, I was finally admitted to the favorite college , Chongqing Institute of Architecture and Engineering, which has now been classified as Chongqing University.
Ren Zhengfei performed exceptionally well in college, won the praise of many teachers, and even became a prominent figure in the school.
During his university years, he studied computer technology, digital technology and automatic control courses, and also taught himself three foreign languages, becoming a rare talent at that time.
When his friend saw that Ren Zhengfei was so his studies, but he had never been in love, he thought of introducing him to a family affair.
At this time, Meng Jun walked into his life, and he did not dare to think that he was a peasant boy who came out of the village, wanted a house without a house, asked for money and no money, and was actually favored by the rich family Meng Jun.
Ren Zhengfei also laughed at the time in a later interview, describing Meng Jun as a white swan and himself as a toad, and really could not understand why Meng Jun, who had a good family environment and beautiful people, would look at Ren Zhengfei.
The girl's mind was really hard to guess, he didn't understand why Meng Jun could look at himself, and he didn't dare to imagine that Meng Jun would become his wife.
In fact, when Ren Zheng met with Meng Jun informally, Meng Jun had already heard about Ren Zhengfei and had already silently developed feelings for him.
Although Ren Zhengfei's family is poor, he relies on his excellent academic performance, which has made many girls fall for him.
It is precisely because of this seriousness in his body that Meng Jun's father recognized Ren Zhengfei, and the two finally became husband and wife as they wished, and lived a life that everyone envied.
Perhaps for Meng Jun, what she wants is not how strong the family background is, how much money she has, but the true good qualities from the bottom of her heart.
Because of 2 million, the two were not happy and dispersed
Ren Zhengfei entered the army after graduating from university and became a signal soldier. He was satisfied with the steady job, but the days were too dull, and he always felt that something was missing.
Working in the army, he still performed well, his work ability was recognized, and he continued to invent and create, which made him reused by the army and soon promoted to the rank of deputy regiment.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they were still inferior to the noble temperament and background conditions carried by Meng Jun himself, and some people pointed out everywhere that "Sichuan Vice Governor Qianjin Mengjun married the poor boy Ren Zhengfei."
The relationship between the two did not break down because of this, but life was as sweet as ever.
In 1972, their first daughter, Meng Wanzhou, was born. Three years later, Ren Ping was born.
In 1978, Ren Zhengfei had a number of innovative inventions and participated in the National Science Congress as a representative of the army.
Ren Zhengfei is outstanding in his work, and his achievement after achievement has made him more convinced that he must spend time and energy on researching communication technology.
However, at that time, Meng Jun also held an important position in the army, and she had a sense of pride in her bones from an early age, and she was extremely strong.
At this time, there was a big disagreement between the two children, the growth of the two children needs parents, who will go back to take care of the child's living and education?
Under the balance, Meng Jun had to compromise for the sake of the child and the family, and went home to take care of the child. However, she is not willing to live like this, and when the children are older, they still choose to go out to work.
At this time, she was recruited into the South China Sea Petroleum Group, and excellent people will shine everywhere they go, and Meng Jun is no exception, and it did not take long to become an executive of the group.
In 1983, Ren Zhengfei ushered in a turning point in his life, due to the layoffs of the army, he also retired from the army and changed careers, and after Meng Jun's introduction, he entered a Shenzhen home appliance company as deputy general manager.
Ren Zhengfei's company is a subsidiary of nanhai group and is managed by Meng Jun. In this way, the two fought hard in their respective posts.
Unfortunately, life is always unsatisfactory, and it is too difficult to live a peaceful life for a lifetime.
Ren Zhengfei was defrauded by others due to work mistakes. In fact, Ren Zhengfei at that time did not have too much experience in society, because of blind trust in others, the company's 2 million products were given to others in advance.
After the product was handed over to others, he found that he could not get back a penny, and Ren Zhengfei, as the main person in charge of this matter, had to leave the company.
2 million in the 80s was a huge set of money. Even in today's society, the family can have 2 million savings, and life is quite rich.
After this incident, the two people always quarreled. Perhaps Ren Zhengfei believes that Meng Jun's iron face and selflessness in work have led to today's unbearable situation.
Because at that time, there were indeed many company employees who interceded for Ren Zhengfei, after all, he was friendly and made a lot of performance for the company, hoping that the company could give Ren Zhengfei a chance.
In fact, it was Meng Jun who handled this incident, and instead of opening up one side, she fired Ren Zhengfei without saying a word.
After the two people went home to meet, it was a quarrel, the quarrel was long, the feelings would fade, and Meng Jun chose to divorce Ren Zhengfei at this time.
The two broke up unhappily and parted ways ever since. This marriage, which itself was full of discussions, eventually went to breakup.
Huawei's establishment is inseparable from the support of Meng Jun
After Meng Jun and Ren Zhengfei divorced, Ren Zhengfei returned to his hometown in Guizhou with his two children, Meng Wanzhou and Ren Ping, and after a period of confusion, he chose to start a business.
He was 43 years old when he was ready to start a business, but for his career, he seemed to have endless energy and was full of golden ideas.
So he raised 20,000 yuan, lived in a shantytown in Shenzhen, and founded Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. with friends.
In the early days of entrepreneurship, the company also had only a few people, when Meng Wanzhou graduated and came to the company to help, a person had to answer the phone and make a plan, and he was very busy.
In fact, in the early days of entrepreneurship, Ren Zhengjun only wanted to quickly earn a sum of money to alleviate the huge debt he was carrying, so Huawei did not start to build mobile phones at that time, but what to do to make money.
Choosing the road of entrepreneurship, you have to give up a lot of things around you, and the saddest thing is that you can't take care of two children.
In the most difficult moments, Ren Zhengfei had to pull funds and find partners while studying technical problems, and he simply did not have the energy to take care of children.
In a later interview, Ren Zhengfei confessed that for the two children's hearts full of debt, in the age when the children needed themselves the most, he did not fulfill his father's obligations, but thanks to Meng Jun.
After the establishment of the company, due to the unfamiliarity of life, it could not get much business, and even relied on reselling goods to maintain the survival of the company.
The most difficult moment Meng Jun appeared again, she and her father Meng Dongpo were very supportive of Ren Zhengfei's career and introduced a lot of business, so that the company could survive.
Meng Jun's help to Ren Zhengfei is not limited to his career. The education of the 2 children is thanks to her, which allows Ren Zhengfei to settle down and continue to start a business.
The two broke up because of their emotional breakdown, and now Meng Jun is helping Ren Zhengfei, and many people are puzzled by this.
In fact, after the divorce, the fate of the two did not end, but found a comfortable balance and became a good friend who knew everything.
The establishment of the Huawei empire is indeed inseparable from the help of meng jun. Whether it is from the perspective of funds, contacts or business, she has done her best to help Ren Zhengfei.
In life, he also took over the work of educating children and raised two children to outstanding talents, which was inseparable from Meng Jun's efforts.
When Meng Wanzhou was imprisoned in Canada, Meng Jun heard the news and flew to Canada for the first time, taking care of her daughter's living and becoming her daughter's dependence.
It is precisely in this way that from Meng Wanzhou's body, it seems that The figure of Meng Jun can be seen, the same tenacious character, the same indomitable soul.
Behind a successful man, there are always women who silently support him. It allows him to devote all his attention to his career without worries.
Ren Zhengfei said in an interview that "my ex-wife was a great nobleman in my life."
Lovers become close friends
In the 3 years of Meng Wanzhou's stay in Canada, thanks to her mother Meng Jun, she was able to face difficulties and never give up.
When the plane back home landed, the hatch opened, and she stood there dressed in a touch of red, like a cut of proud plum in the cold winter, so beautiful, so shocking.
However, when Meng Wanzhou returned to China, Meng Jun chose to stay in Canada to continue his life. After a lifetime of running, I finally saw the ability of my son and daughter at this time, so that I could safely live in seclusion abroad.
Meng Jun gave Ren Zhengfei too much help, perhaps it was precisely because of her appearance that ren Zhengfei changed, let him find his ambition, let him release his talents.
In fact, after divorcing Meng Jun, Ren Zhengfei was busy with work in the early stage of entrepreneurship, and one person could not cope with it, so he recruited a secretary named Yao Ling.
The two also formed an indissoluble relationship, Yao Ling accompanied Ren Zhengfei through every day and night, and put forward many golden ideas for him at work.
She and Meng Jun's personality is diametrically opposed, gentle and virtuous, and slowly get along, and the two have changed from a colleague relationship to a husband and wife relationship.
After marriage, they had a lovely daughter, that is, the popular actress Yao Anna, who is also completely different from her sister Meng Wanzhou's personality, one is fierce and one is gentle.
When the two got married, the marriage certificate could not be processed for various reasons, which was also thanks to Meng Jun's magnanimity and helped the two to successfully apply for a marriage license.
The youngest daughter, Yao Anna, was erudite and talented from an early age, not only learning excellently, but also able to sing and dance, but also a variety of musical instruments, and was admitted to Harvard University with her own ability.
After graduation, he chose to enter the entertainment industry, and his father Ren Zhengfei was very supportive of his daughter's approach. When she first entered the entertainment industry, Yao Anna's criticism was numerous, and it was her father's support that made her firm herself.
The two wives have very different personalities, and the two daughters have completely opposite personalities. Instead, they were closely related to each other and became friends who talked about everything.
Yao Ling and Meng Jun are like sisters, they have always maintained contact, and Meng Wanzhou also loves his little sister Yao Anna, and the family's relationship is harmonious.
After the divorce, Meng Jun not only did not become an enemy with Ren Zhengfei, but helped him start a business and become a good friend, and then became a good sister with his second wife, Yao Ling.
It can be seen that Meng Jun is very generous, has a pattern, has foresight, and has wisdom, and such an excellent woman is naturally Ren Zhengfei's "nobleman".
Now that Meng Jun still has not remarried, she has witnessed Ren Zhengfei from a college student to an important figure in the army, and then to the vice president of the company, followed by the ups and downs of the entrepreneurial road.
Meng Jun witnessed everything about Ren Zhengfei, until now the prosperity of the Huawei Empire, and her daughter Meng Wanzhou has become Ren Zhengfei's right and left arm, and she is satisfied.
Meng Wanzhou returned to the embrace of the motherland under the cheers of everyone, and Meng Jun lived a comfortable life in Canada, no longer pursuing fame and fortune.
I don't know how she will feel when she sees the Huawei empire today, but the small company that once had only a few people has become a wolf, gained a firm foothold in Shenzhen, and stepped into the international market.
When Huawei became world-class, some people sighed that Meng Jun was a pity, having spent so many difficult years, climbing so many high mountains, and finally reaching the top of the mountain, but there was no Meng Jun's figure.
The real feelings can only be known by the two of them, perhaps it is through the ups and downs that they have seen through everything and lived a life of indifferent fame and fortune.
Perhaps the complementary soul talents are easy to go to the end, but like Meng Jun's strong and fierce personality and Ren Zhengfei collide together, it is easy to provoke contradictions.
Two excellent people together, neither wants to accept defeat, neither wants to give up the fame and fortune in their hands, and naturally slowly leads to rupture.
Although a marriage between the two broke down, no one was wrong, and it was not easy to raise such an excellent woman as Meng Wanzhou.
As the "eldest princess of Huawei", When Meng Wanzhou first entered the company, no one knew that she was actually the daughter of Ren Zhengfei, a huawei leader, at the grass-roots level.
It wasn't until 2013, when she appeared at the "Huawei 2012 Performance Forecast Media Meeting", that people knew that the woman who worked hard around her was Ren Zhengfei's daughter.
She appeared as Huawei's CFO and was unanimously recognized. At Huawei, she is not Ren Zhengfei's daughter, she is just Meng Wanzhou, who relies on personal ability step by step.
Meng Wanzhou lived up to expectations, spent 25 years to create a miracle, and was selected as the eighth place in Forbes' 2017 China's most exposed women in business, becoming a model for a generation of women.
Now she has become Huawei's rotating chairman, one of the seven top people, breaking Ren Zhengfei's sentence "Huawei will not be handed over to Meng Wanzhou"
So why did the son Ren Ping always go unnoticed? In fact, Ren Ping is sincere and rarely appears in front of the media. After graduating from the University of Science and Technology of China, he and his sister came to Huawei's grassroots posts and began to work.
With years of hard work, he served as an important position in Huawei's Huitong Commercial Co., Ltd., working in Canada for many years, so he can accompany his mother Meng Jun.
Looking back on Ren Zhengfei's life, he was admitted to the university of his choice with his hard work, met Meng Jun here, and started a new life. It can be said that without Meng Jun, there would be no Ren Zhengfei today.
Now that Meng Jun and Ren Zhengfei have entered old age, both of them have lived a satisfied life, which is enough for the family.
