No matter how ordinary or rich, every family is the same, the eldest daughter understands things, and the younger children are favored.
When Ren Zhengfei's youngest daughter, Yao Anna, was born in 1998, Huawei was already a domestic communications giant with annual sales of more than 8.9 billion yuan. In 1998, Ren Zhengfei's eldest daughter, Meng Wanzhou, had just moved from Huawei's administrative department to the financial department. One has been pampered since childhood, and the other has been bitter from the grassroots.
At the beginning of 2021, Yao Anna inexplicably asked in her debut documentary why everyone likes her sister but doesn't like herself? In fact, the reason is very simple, when the sister was still in Canada with electronic footcuffs, Yao Anna used Huawei's resources to officially announce her debut.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, Meng Wanzhou's tenacity</h1>
On September 25, Meng Wanzhou, who had been away from home for 1,028 days, was released with a "zero confession" and returned to the motherland. After getting off the plane, Meng Wanzhou said with tears in his eyes: "Although I have experienced more than 1,000 days of suffering, I have finally returned to the embrace of the motherland, and the warmth of my hometown makes me indescribable." ”
Born in 1972, Meng Wanzhou, whose original name was Ren Wanzhou, was born to Ren Zhengfei and his first wife, Meng Ping, and was the oldest of Ren Zhengfei's three children. In 1987, Ren Zhengfei made a mistake in his work, resulting in his company Nanyou Group cheating 2 million yuan, and then Ren Zhengfei was fired by Nanyou Group, Meng Ping chose to divorce, ren Wanzhou changed his name to Meng Wanzhou with his mother's surname.
In the same year, Ren Zhengfei founded Huawei.
Ren Zhengfei joined the army in his early years, and the family often moved back and forth with the movement of Ren Zhengfei's engineering unit. Sometimes Meng Wanzhou has not yet recognized the names of her classmates and transferred to a new school, and her academic performance is naturally not ideal. One day, Meng Wanzhou, who was still a primary school student, found Ren Zhengfei: "Dad, you are responsible for my future." ”
In 1993, 21-year-old Meng Wanzhou joined Huawei.
Because Meng Wanzhou and Ren Zhengfei's surnames were different, no one thought at all that she would be Ren Zhengfei's "eldest princess". Because Meng Wanzhou is not from a class in the field of communications, she was initially responsible for Huawei's administrative work with three girls, such as transferring calls, printing documents, and serving tea and water.
Meng Wanzhou recalled at that time: "The first thing my father asked me to do in society was to have an understanding of "people". Miscellaneous work is the most helpful to accumulate these experiences. ”
In 1997, Meng Wanzhou was admitted to Huazhong University of Science and Technology to pursue a master's degree in accounting. In 1998, Meng Wanzhou, who returned to Huawei again, was assigned to the finance department by Ren Zhengfei. That is also the year that Ren Zhengfei's younger daughter, Yao Anna, was born.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, Yao Anna's dashing</h1>
After learning that her sister was released, Yao Anna left a message on Weibo: "My sister's plane has flown over the North Pole, and she is my eternal role model." ”
If Meng Wanzhou's life is tempered in the fire, then Yao Anna's life is exquisitely crafted. Yao Anna was born in 1998, her mother is Ren Zhengfei's second wife Yao Ling, Yao Anna's growth experience is what countless people dream of, even including Meng Wanzhou. Yao Anna grew up learning ballet, playing the piano, studying at Harvard, and attending a celebrity dinner with the sons and ladies of the top giants.
The contrast between Meng Wanzhou and Yao Anna is very similar to that of He Chaoqiong, the eldest daughter of the second house of the gambling king He Hongshen's family, and he Chaoyi, the younger daughter.
He Chaoyi has a rebellious personality from childhood, but he is deeply liked by Ho Hongshen. He Chaoyi can live according to her own ideas, and can be an actor, singer, or marry someone she likes without any scruples. But these were all things that He Chaoqiong could not ask for. Because of the obstruction of his father Ho Hung-sun, He Chaoqiong was forced to accept the alliance of the giants, married Xu Jinheng, and broke up with singer Chen Baiqiang.
Meng Wanzhou's life seems to be arranged in this way, and we cannot rule out the possibility that Ren Zhengfei had intended Meng Wanzhou to succeed Huawei. In 2011, Meng Joined Huawei's Board of Directors as Huawei's Managing Director. In 2018, Meng Wanzhou was elected vice chairman of Huawei. But when Meng Wanzhou was trapped in Canada at the end of 2018, Ren Zhengfei, a father, announced out of the consideration of protecting his daughter: "Meng Wanzhou will never become Huawei's successor." ”
A week before Meng Wanzhou was trapped, Ren Zhengfei's youngest daughter Yao Anna was first exposed in front of the media, and Yao Anna, wearing a haute couture dress, held hands with the Belgian prince and attended the Paris celebrity rite of passage dance. Yao Anna's coming-of-age ceremony is far more colorful than Meng Wanzhou's coming-of-age ceremony.
Meng Wanzhou once published an article called "Kite" in Huawei's internal magazine, which mentioned that when Ren Zheng founded Huawei after he was unemployed, the family was crowded in a leaky house of less than 10 square meters in Shenzhen, and his father had to lie on the balcony to eat, and the next door neighbor could hear the speech.
At that time, Meng Wanzhou was just 18 years old.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, conclusion</h1>
In traditional Chinese culture, the younger daughter is favored more than the eldest daughter, which is natural.
In fact, Yao Anna is not a well-bred rich girl. It is understood that Yao Anna studied piano, calligraphy and painting at the age of 5; was in the top 20 of the whole year in high school for 3 years; insisted on dancing ballet for 15 hours a week, and even sometimes jumped to the toes to crack; and became a freshman in the computer science department of Harvard University at the age of 18. However, Yao Anna finally chose to enter the entertainment industry but it is difficult to integrate with the value preferences of society. This also answered Yao Anna's own question: "Why don't people like me?" ”
Perhaps if these problems must be attributed, they should be attributed to Ren Zhengfei.
Ren Zhengfei's expectations for Meng Wanzhou are greater than their pampering;
Ren Zhengfei loved Yao Anna more than expected.
