Whenever there is a major natural disaster in the country, those people and companies who are enthusiastic about public welfare will always win praise.
However, we found that in the public welfare events publicly reported by the media over the years, whether it is a company or an individual, there is almost no Huawei and Ren Zhengfei.
Some people think that they have grasped Huawei's handle, and point fingers at the keyboard to accuse Huawei of making money and not public welfare.
But what these people don't know is that Huawei people rush to the front line in every catastrophe, and as for donations and materials, the amount is huge, but all of this is forbidden to publicize.
Ren Zhengfei has a ban on Huawei's disaster relief donations: no one is allowed to give interviews.
Even for the rescue of people in major difficulties, Ren Zhengfei's premise is that it is not open to the public and must not be interviewed.
01
Sun Yafang led the team to fight the earthquake and provide disaster relief,
Ren Zhengfei: No one is allowed to be interviewed
In 2008, when the Wenchuan 512 earthquake broke out, donations and materials were actively donated from all over the country, and rescue teams were organized to help the disaster area.
In fact, in the face of major natural disasters, the most urgent thing is to restore transportation and communications, and only when transportation and communications are connected, can all rescue operations be carried out quickly and effectively.
As a well-known enterprise in the domestic communications industry and a provider of communication infrastructure equipment, Huawei took action as soon as possible in the face of the disaster, with Chairman Sun Yafang and President of Global Sales and Service Hu Houkun leading 150 Huawei technical support personnel to Chengdu overnight by plane from Shenzhen via Chongqing.
Unbeknownst to the outside world, just before the Huawei rescue team left, Ren Zhengfei emphasized: "No one is allowed to be interviewed by the media." “
Ren Zhengfei advised: "Disaster relief donations are not for show, there is time for interviews, it is better to honestly do more earthquake relief work, so that the disaster area can restore communication as soon as possible." "
At the same time, 4,000 "Standby King" mobile phones developed by Huawei to cope with harsh environments (the normal daily call standby time can be maintained for seven to eight days, and the pressure, drop, and impact resistance) were also delivered to the victims of the Wenchuan disaster as soon as possible, providing great convenience for restoring communication in the earthquake area and effectively carrying out rescue efforts.
However, Huawei's selfless dedication to doing good deeds without leaving a name has been repeatedly misunderstood in the era of self-media.
During the lockdown in Wuhan in 2020, Huawei was questioned for not being active in disaster relief.
But the fact is that Huawei not only donated 30 million yuan, but also sent a batch of hospital emergency accessories worth 100 million yuan to Wuhan long ago.
It's just that Huawei is all quiet and has not taken the initiative to publicize it publicly.
During the 2021 Henan floods, Huawei was once again sprayed by the Internet without donations or assistance.
The invisible fact of the keyboard warriors is that Huawei not only donated 30 million (but Huawei itself did not say it, the Henan Charity Federation also had public information afterwards), but also did more.
Huawei's Henan Representative Office immediately activated the emergency support plan, with 187 engineers on the front line in the disaster area and 68 R&D experts working remotely to fully support the local network repair and maintenance work and ensure the smooth communication network in the disaster area.
Not only that, the Pterodactyl UAV air emergency communication system, which was an emergency to the disaster area and caused a sensation in the Chinese people, was equipped with Huawei's wireless base station equipment, which provided a 24-hour emergency communication guarantee solution through 4G and 5G communication technology and satellite transmission, completely freeing itself from the shackles of ground power supply and communication backhaul, and quickly opening up the communication between the command center and the designated area, providing convenience for residents in the disaster area to report the disaster situation and report safety in a timely manner. ”
This time, Huawei's silent dedication was questioned by some ignorant netizens and cyberbullying, and in the end, Huawei had to speak out, and the media had to correct Huawei's name.
Many netizens are puzzled, why did Huawei silently do so much in the face of every disaster, but never said it, and even had to come out after being cyberbullied?
It turns out that "doing good deeds without leaving a name" is Huawei's tradition.
It's just that this fine tradition has been changed by some ill-intentioned people in the era of self-media.
02
Why is Huawei doing public welfare quietly?
There are certain historical reasons why Huawei does good deeds without leaving a name.
Once, Huawei's education donation of 25 million yuan attracted false accusations and audits, which made Ren Zhengfei and Huawei depressed.
It was 1998, Ren Zhengfei asked Chen Zhufang, secretary of the party committee, to send 25 million yuan to the State Education Commission to set up the "Poor Students Fund" to help students from poor families complete their studies.
However, at that time, some people planned 3,000 letters of complaint to report that Huawei was in arrears with suppliers, arrears of employees' wages, evasion of state taxes, and even reported that the leaders of the Shenzhen Municipal Government illegally gave Huawei huge loans, and Ren Zhengfei divided bank loans to employees in the name of employee stock ownership.
The 25 million donated by Huawei to the State Education Commission was also reported for tax evasion, although the joint investigation team later clarified the facts and returned Huawei's innocence, but it also chilled Ren Zhengfei and Huawei's hearts.
Since then, although Huawei has not changed its original intention and insisted on doing public welfare, it has not made it public or publicized, and even asked the units and individuals who accept donations not to publicize or accept interviews.
In 2005, Cong Fei, a charity ambassador and well-known charity singer, was critically ill, and Ren Zhengfei and Huawei both donated money to Cong Fei.
No one knows how much Ren Zhengfei personally donated.
Ren Zhengfei arranged for Chen Zhufang to visit Cong Fei on behalf of the company, donated 300,000 yuan to Cong Fei, and specially told Cong Fei: "We want to give you a little money, the condition is that it cannot be publicized, this is the instructions given to me by the boss." ”
Cong Fei agreed, and Chen Zhufang handed over the money to Cong Fei's wife.
Another time, Zhu Jianping (the first editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Huawei People") was walking with his boss, and met a person in a miserable situation on the way.
From the memories of Chen Zhufang, Huawei's first party secretary, we learned that there are historical reasons why Huawei does public welfare, never publicizes, and refuses to be interviewed.

Ren Zhengfei: Don't forget that there is also a "little girl who sells matches"
In fact, Ren Zhengfei has always conveyed a spirit of great love at Huawei.
Ren Zhengfei not only shares benefits, honors, and the future with all Huawei employees within Huawei, but also hopes that Huawei people can "give a little love" to the society.
Ren Zhengfei believes that Huawei people have better conditions, and of course they need to give back to the society a little more.
Ren Zhengfei appealed to Huawei people not to forget that there are also "little match girls": when you encounter beggars on the side of the road, you can not doubt their motives and give them some change; when you encounter small traders selling vegetables and fruits in the rain and snow, you can buy a little bit so that they can close their stalls and go home early; when you meet people sleeping on the streets, you can help them buy food and give them assistance; and you can donate surplus clothes and quilts at home......
At Huawei, Ren Zhengfei admonished enterprise managers: If you treat your employees badly, why should they work hard for you?
Outside Huawei, Ren Zhengfei also advocated: If you love others, others will love you.
How can such Ren Zhengfei not succeed in bringing out such Huawei?
In fact, Huawei's success is not only about sharing benefits, but also about sharing love.
Perhaps, this is the Huawei that many "entrepreneurs" and bosses can't learn, and Ren Zhengfei who can't learn.
But is Huawei really hard to learn?
