In 2022, three years after joining Huawei, the "genius boy" resigned from Huawei in order to fulfill his life ideal, giving up his annual salary of 2.01 million.
So, what will this talented boy do in the future, and does he regret his decision now?
"Wild Iron Man"
In 2022, Peng Zhihui, who worked at Huawei as a "genius boy", suddenly expressed on social media on this day the idea of resigning and wanting to start his own business.
As soon as this news came out, the entire business circle was shocked in an instant, you must know that Huawei's annual salary for "genius boys" is close to two million, why did Peng Zhihui give up a high-paying job?
When Peng Zhihui was in college, he was invited by many high-tech companies, and some companies even offered generous commissions in order to let this "genius programmer" come to the company.
Although Peng Zhihui was reluctant to walk out of Huawei's door, he was still happy to think that he could do what he wanted.
After leaving Huawei, Peng Zhihui will focus all his energy on market research and research, because he knows that if he wants to make a good high-tech product, then he must have the support of the masses, and not only that, but also make people shine.
But if you want to make a good product, it is not enough to rely on yourself, at this time, Peng Zhihui began to recruit on the Internet, looking for some friends who have the same ideals and ambitions as himself.
A few days later, Peng Zhihui saw a lot of letters from friends, and there were also many business investment bigwigs who were willing to help Peng Zhihui develop products.
At this time, Peng Zhihui also knew that these people only saw interests and were not like-minded people, so Peng Zhihui was extremely cautious in choosing investment partners, and basically rejected everyone.
During this time, Peng Zhihui was preparing for his own entrepreneurship on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also releasing some "small inventions" in life on the self-media platform.
To Peng Zhihui's surprise, the video actually gained a large number of fans, and among these small inventions, Peng Zhihui also clarified the direction for his entrepreneurial road.
Peng Zhihui has been fond of robots since he was a child, so Peng Zhihua at that time established a robot company soon after determining a partner.
However, the company's main business is the research of AI robots, of course, Peng Zhihui also has a high influence in this industry, and AI technology has slowly entered people's lives.
In just three months after its establishment, the company already has a market value of 10 billion, which shocked all business circles.
However, in the process of Peng Zhihui's entrepreneurship, he still encountered many problems, and in order to solve them well, Peng Zhihui also tested in the laboratory day and night.
In February 2023, Peng Zhihui's Technology Co., Ltd. was officially established, with Peng Zhihui as the chief engineer.
However, many people are still skeptical about Peng Zhihui's research, because they simply do not believe that Peng Zhihui can complete the free walking and grasping functions of the AI robot robotic arm.
Because this technology has been studied in the mainland for many years, it has not been well realized, but Peng Zhihui only took a few months to complete the assembly and let the robot realize the ability to grasp.
The robot not only has the appearance of a human, but also can walk freely and communicate with people through AI technology, it can be said that Peng Zhihui has completed a change of era, and AI technology has officially entered the commercial field.
Peng Zhihui used his strength to break everyone's doubts about this technology, and Peng Zhihui once again got more recognition from him.
Huawei engineer
Speaking of Peng Zhihui, many people are still unfamiliar, but when it comes to "Zhihuijun", some people may have the impression that he is the first batch of members of the "Genius Youth" program to join Huawei in November 2020.
Since then, Peng Zhihui's future has been closely tied to Huawei's enterprises, because the "genius boys" who can enter Huawei will generally go through very strict tests, and finally Huawei's CEO will evaluate and decide.
Of course, Huawei's elite team will naturally earn millions of dollars a year in terms of salary, and at the same time, Huawei will not limit their personal freedom, which will also allow these elites to get more useful resources to design better technology products.
Maybe Peng Zhihui's work is the goal that others pursue all their lives, because his annual salary of one year is a lot of wealth for many people, not to mention that high-end talents like Peng Zhihui are relatively young, and their future is destined to be extraordinary.
But just when everyone thought that these high-end talents might never leave Huawei in their lifetime, Peng Zhihui made an astonishing decision, because he believes that life should be lived according to his own ideas.
Of course, in his life, Huawei was not the focus of Peng Zhihui's enterprise, but the beginning, and after Peng Zhihui decided, he made up his mind to leave Huawei and start a business.
Reasons to give up a high-paying job
Many people think that Peng Zhihui's decision is too rushed, because a job like Huawei is a dream for many people, and it is difficult for many people to get in, but in Peng Zhihui's eyes, improving himself is the guarantee of a high-quality life.
In 2022, after Peng Zhihui posted on his social platform that he wanted to leave Huawei and set up his own company, it immediately caused an uproar and shocked many people.
But once again, there are many investor opportunities in the business circle, and "talents" like Peng Zhihui are extremely precious, and many people want to spend a lot of money to recruit Peng Zhihui to their own company, but in the face of these invitations, Peng Zhihui still politely refuses.
After a period of precipitation, Peng Zhihui, who left Huawei, quickly established his Zhiyuan New Technology Company, which allowed Peng Zhihui to gain a large number of fans on the Internet in half a year, and even in one year, Peng Zhihui's company already has a market value of 600 million.
Moreover, Peng Zhihui in life likes to post short videos very much, and on the Internet, Peng Zhihui is also affectionately known as a "god" by fans, which also makes Peng Zhihui feel the joy of life, compared with the annual salary of one million, the current life is what he wants.
The current Zhihui-kun
Now Peng Zhihui not only releases some of his own "small inventions" on the Internet every day, but also interacts with many fans, so that he can get better innovative ideas.
In 2024, Peng Zhihui also won the honorary award of Lingang's top ten science and technology pioneers, and even made great contributions to other AI technology innovations, but in March 2023, Peng Zhihui was also included in the list of "Hurun U30 China Entrepreneurship Pioneers" released by the Hurun Research Institute, which surprised many people in the industry.
Peng Zhihui currently has a large fan base, and Peng Zhihui has more than 2.5 million fans on his personal account with his "gadget" videos, and each video has super high popularity.
And just recently, Peng Zhihui established the "Peking University-Support Robotics Joint Laboratory", which is of great value to the school, and can allow more graduates to go to AI technology, and can cultivate more top technicians here.
At this time, Peng Zhihua had already completed his dream with his own efforts, but he also used his own experience to tell many young people that they must not live in a comfortable life circle all the time, which will only make themselves more decadent.
Life has a dream will be a valuable embodiment, dare to break the status quo to pursue the life you want, and complete the dream must be what young people should be!
