Ren Zhengfei, the boss, is not a simple character. Don't look at him at Huawei, but his style and way of doing things, I'm afraid I can't find a few people in ordinary companies who are willing to take him in. No, a former employee who switched jobs to United States laughed at him before leaving: "You can only be the boss!" This sounds like a boast, but in fact, the sour taste inside can brew a big pot of vinegar!

Think about it, the boss of a company, there are so many people who say that he is short-tempered and rude, which may seem to outsiders to be a shortcoming, but within Huawei, this is precisely part of their "admiration". For example, that time, Ren Zhengfei was in the negotiation of an overseas project, because the other party asked for data, it was rude, and the scene was more dramatic than a TV series. An executive couldn't bear it anymore and threw the file and left, this kind of big scene is not something that anyone can bear.
Then, there was the accident at the Beijing Telecom Exhibition, Ren Zhengfei not only got angry at the vice president because he didn't bring all the information, but also kicked people in the hand. This vice president's legs are blue and purple, and his heart is called a mixed taste. But at Huawei, this kind of thing can also be interpreted as "trust and expectation". Are you weird or not?
Let's talk about Ren Zhengfei's "marketing strategy". This buddy, obviously he doesn't understand marketing, but he ends up doing bigger things than anyone else. For example, when I went to Anyang, Henan, the customer leaders came to the highway to greet him, but he was unhappy. At the noon banquet, he wanted to eat food stalls, but he couldn't find it, so he had to go to the hotel. When he arrived at the hotel, he only ate cold dishes and did not eat hot dishes, and the customer raised his glass to toast, but he still looked blank. On this occasion, it is embarrassing to change anyone.
Regarding bragging, Lao Ren is also a wonder. Once, when a leader of a post and telecommunications bureau came to invest, Ren Zhengfei's rhetoric of "my name is worth 100 million" directly turned the 15 million that people were going to invest into a mere 50,000. This kind of operation is also scumbag.
However, it has to be said that Ren Zhengfei's unique management style and way of doing things are also part of Huawei's culture. Although he himself admits that he has many shortcomings, these shortcomings have not affected him to become a great entrepreneur. He always emphasized that Huawei needs imperfect warriors, not perfect young children. As he said to Huawei's new employees, accept your imperfect self and don't focus too much on your shortcomings, but look at your own and others' strengths.
Judging from some details, Ren Zhengfei does have a lot of ridiculous places. For example, the way he treats customers, the outside world may seem to think that he doesn't know how to please people, but this just reflects his hardcore personality and non-conformist attitude. He doesn't need the pomp and circumstance of hugging back and forth, everything is simple, and he only does practical things. This kind of character is seen as a charm and strength within Huawei.
As for the executives he scolded, time has proven that most of them can withstand the pressure and achieve good results at Huawei or elsewhere. This may also show that although Ren Zhengfei's method is unique, he does have a set of knowledge and employment. Not everyone can accept this high-pressure and straightforward management style, but for those who can adapt, it is a great opportunity to grow and exercise.
