01 Cleaner’s unrelenting words: read more articles to be the general manager Today’s Huawei is led by generals Xu Zhijun, Hu Hou, and Guo Ping, and Ren Zhengfei has already enjoyed his leisure time. Ren Zhengfei claims to be a “puppet” or “mud bodhisattva”, but for nearly 200,000 Huawei people, Ren Zhengfei has always been a “spiritual leader” and a powerful “cultural teacher” . Whenever Ren Zhengfei’s article or internal speech is published, it will always arouse a lot of reviews inside and outside Huawei. Xiaomi Lei Jun once said that he has always been a fan of Ren Zhengfei and will recite many of Ren Zhengfei’s classic speech quotations. Inside Huawei, Ren Zhengfei’s articles and speeches lead the spirit and culture of Huawei people, and there is also a classic legend. . Everyone knows that Huawei has a lot of talents, and some people say, When interviewing at Huawei, don’t ask about academic qualifications, because even a janitor or sweeper may have graduated with a bachelor’s or master’s degree. . There is really a cleaner who published an article in Huawei’s internal journal. In the article, there is a rhetoric, which is classic and vivid. That person Huawei The cleaner said: “At Huawei, after sweeping the floor, you can read the management articles on the wall and go out to apply for the general manager of a small company.” Of course, most of the articles here refer to Ren Zhengfei’s articles. . This unruly remark seems to be ranting, but in Wu Chunbo, Senior Management Consultant, Huawei In the eyes of the professor, he believed that the cleaner’s words were actually not without confidence. According to Professor Wu’s account, the experience of cleaners in Huawei’s internal journals is indeed true in reality. There is a boss in Beijing who graduated from junior high school and started from scratch. From helping others to cook to becoming the boss of a group company, he has always relied on learning from Huawei. Ren Zhengfei has learned all the articles. . Although he only graduated from junior high school, he didn’t even know some words and couldn’t understand some words, but he asked his secretary to record Ren Zhengfei’s articles on his mobile phone and listen to them whenever he had time. I have to say that the growth of this little boss and the motivation and guidance role of Ren Zhengfei’s articles are due to certain factors. 02 Wu Chunbo: Ren Zhengfei is like a “big sponge” Huawei has experienced more than 30 years of suffering, and the technical route chosen by Huawei and Ren Zhengfei has also become a model and benchmark for the domestic business community. Being suppressed because of being strong, being suppressed but not falling, this is Huawei. Many people say that in the domestic business community, there are only three people who can be called entrepreneurs, Ren Zhengfei, Cao Dewang and Dong Mingzhu. Scholars such as Zhang Wuchang, Jin Yinan and Wang Yukun even call Ren Zhengfei the “God of Management” in China. Therefore, learning from Ren Zhengfei has become an inevitable phenomenon inside and outside Huawei. But in fact, Like the little boss who helped people cook, Ren Zhengfei also grew up from a little boss of a second-door dealer, learning constantly, and growing into a business leader. . However, Ren Zhengfei’s learning ability is almost unmatched. Wu Chunwei’s learning ability, Rong Ren Zhengfei, said, “Like a big sponge”, and his absorption capacity is incredibly powerful. . Ren Zhengfei said that Huawei has no success, only growth; Huawei that has grown all the way is also a Huawei that has learned all the way. Whom does Ren Zhengfei learn from? Learn from America, England, Japan, Germany, Puritanism, West Point Military Academy, IBM, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Toyota, Sony, Haidilao, SF Express, Learn from the PLA, learn from the Communist Party, learn from Li Xiaowen, learn from Hengshui Middle School, learn from zoology, learn from botany… Ren Zhengfei led Huawei to learn from everything that can be learned, regardless of where it came from. As long as it is good for oneself, and as long as others do better than yourself, it should be rigid, optimized, and then solidified. 03 Haidilao has a Huawei LOGO fruit plate Huawei management consultant Tian Tao recalled, Once on a plane with Ren Zhengfei, a book of four to five hundred pages, Ren Zhengfei read it by the time he got off the plane, and “Old Ren tears off a page after reading it.” When Tian Tao talked about the book with him, he found that Ren Zhengfei had remembered all the important contents and opinions in the book. Ren Zhengfei has a famous theory of “a cup of coffee absorbs the power of the universe”, which is about learning ability. Tian Tao said that the learning power that Ren Zhengfei has brought to Huawei and its people is too powerful. . For example, to learn from the company, Ren Zhengfei also specially issued an EMT resolution, advising all employees to use SF Express once, eat Haidilao once, and feel their service. Huawei Shanghai R&D staff went to Haidilao for a departmental dinner, and returned to the private room after paying the bill. It was discovered that Haidilao had served them a special fruit plate. In addition to fruits, there was also a Huawei logo composed of 8 watermelon peels. Huawei employees were shocked: Do you need talents to make this fruit plate? Do you need technology? Need resources? Do I need IQ? Since then, Haidilao’s case of a Huawei LOGO fruit tray was once widely publicized within Huawei. “ If Huawei wants to keep pace with this rapidly changing era, it must persist in self-criticism, open its mind, and continuously learn from outstanding companies. . “Ren Zhengfei said in the EMT resolution to learn from Haidilao. In this way, Ren Zhengfei went from being a “local citizen” who didn’t understand technology, market, and management, from a small business owner to becoming an entrepreneur, and then becoming the leader of a global technology giant. It has to be said that Ren Zhengfei is Huawei. The person who learns best is also the person who makes the fastest progress. And Huawei, from the original 6-person self-employed, from small to large, from weak to strong, has grown into today’s global leader in 5G technology and a leader in the communications industry. He has become a Chinese high-tech representative who can compete with the world’s top technology giants such as Samsung, Apple, Cisco, and Qualcomm. Huawei Six Gentlemen 04 Ren Zhengfei: I suggest reading more of my articles The ever-growing Huawei provides a platform for everyone at Huawei to grow. On this platform, they can not only create and share value together, but more importantly, they can share knowledge together. Wang Yukun, who has followed up on Huawei and Ren Zhengfei for more than 20 years, believes that since Huawei has requested Peng Jianfeng, Wu Chunbo, Tian Tao and other “Six Gentlemen of the People’s Congress” helped draft the “Huawei Basic Law” After the introduction of IBM’s system and process construction, Huawei established a set of standards and processes in the system, gradually forming Huawei’s unique collective wisdom decision-making mechanism, and then when the rotating CEO system was established, Ren Zhengfei has officially become Huawei’s “idle person”, without signing or caring about specific affairs, he has become Huawei’s “cultural and thought teacher” “. However, the articles and speech mails of “Cultural and Ideological Teachers” are the essence of Huawei’s culture and thinking. For example, Ren Zhengfei’s famous “A River of Spring Water Flows East”, Former Huawei chairman Sun Yafang once wrote that Ren Zhengfei’s article “is a true epitome of Huawei’s growth and his expectations for the rotating CEO. . He plainly told the succession team of the “Tao” he had learned throughout his life, and hoped that the succession team would truly understand this “Tao”. ” Ren Zhengfei’s articles and e-mail speeches during the critical period of Huawei are not only a manifestation of Ren Zhengfei’s leadership of Huawei’s strategic thinking, but also passed through rounds of internal discussions or revisions within the company. Are all tempered “. Within Huawei, Ren Zhengfei also pointed out in many speeches: “ I suggest you read more company documents and read more of my articles.Read it once a week, you will definitely improve faster than others”, “If you understand, don’t you have a little strategic insight “… Ren Zhengfei and Huawei’s management articles can gain insight into strategies after reading them. Such articles, It’s no wonder that Huawei’s cleaners can speak up. Read more articles on the wall and you can go out to be the general manager of a small company. . “Huawei has no secrets. Anyone can learn or know how to learn.” This is Ren Zhengfei’s attitude towards learners and imitators. Of course, for many outside Huawei learners, it is not easy to really learn Huawei and the essence of Ren Zhengfei’s thoughts. but Huawei has no secrets, why can’t many domestic companies learn it? This is a question worth pondering. 05 Understand Ren Zhengfei and Huawei To understand and learn from Ren Zhengfei and Huawei, it is necessary to understand the sufferings of Ren Zhengfei and Huawei. “Without setbacks, you don’t know how to take the right path”, “The bird that can’t die is a phoenix” The sufferings of Ren Zhengfei and Huawei also made Huawei and Ren Zhengfei. From grassroots private enterprises with the “three noes” to technology giants, to being undefeated in the face of strong pressure, Huawei has become the benchmark and banner of the domestic business community. “I hope more Huawei or Ren Zhengfei” will become a country. People’s general expectation. Mr. Wang Yukun, a well-known financial writer who has followed up on Huawei for more than 20 years, passed Interviews with Huawei people, as well as in-depth communication with Ren Zhengfei over the years, refer to the millions of words in Huawei’s internal speeches and president’s emails In order to fully and comprehensively analyze how Ren Zhengfei led Huawei to invincibility, Wang Yukun wrote his profound understanding of Huawei and Ren Zhengfei’s management philosophy into a “Suffering Hero Ren Zhengfei”. “The Suffering Hero Ren Zhengfei” is different from most biographies about Ren Zhengfei. From the sufferings of heroes, the life with gray scale, the way of living in complex environments, the reference of world powers, the development of heroes, team building and innovation strategies In-depth analysis has been done in other dimensions, presenting Ren Zhengfei’s unique corporate management philosophy and philosophy. This is a book about men, fathers, and companies. It tells the sufferings of Ren Zhengfei’s growing up experience and the influence of his parents on him. It analyzes the ups and downs he has gone from leaving a state-owned enterprise to starting a business to today, and what he has experienced. Sadness, hardship, tribulation, despair, persistence, etc. “Ren Zhengfei, Hero of Suffering” uses two parallel clues: Ren Zhengfei and Huawei, A complete and panoramic analysis of Huawei and Ren Zhengfei, presents to readers a history of Huawei’s thoughts that has undergone 30 years of changes, and allows readers to understand the reasons why Huawei’s employees are unified, cohesive, and step by step to the world. As Ren Zhengfei said: “If you don’t go through setbacks, you don’t know how to move on the right path.” “The Suffering Hero Ren Zhengfei” hopes that entrepreneurs in trouble can feel the breakthrough of business leaders and the power of role models, and follow Ren Zhengfei to see more clearly, farther and higher .

TSMC sits on the world’s top chip manufacturing technology, and holds the largest number of EUV lithography machines, with a market share of more than half of the global market. It can be said that TSMC is well-deserved in the world, and chips as a necessity in various fields, TSMC’s strength and status have been fully embodied.

However, TSMC is still accelerating its deployment. This time TSMC is targeting talents. According to news from Taiwanese media on June 13, TSMC’s 2021 doctoral scholarship application has ushered in a critical moment.

In order to cultivate outstanding talents, TSMC provides subsidies for doctors who meet the conditions, up to 5 years. The annual subsidy is 1.155 billion yuan, which is 577,500 yuan in five years. Almost all of these doctors involved in semiconductor-related industries can apply for high subsidies from TSMC.

Through large subsidies, TSMC can promote more talents to participate in the research and development of the semiconductor industry. And considering TSMC’s local influence, it is estimated that most of these doctoral talents who have received subsidies from TSMC have been accepted by TSMC.

TSMC, which has a generous shot, does not take this money in its eyes. After all, TSMC can make hundreds of billions of dollars every year. As long as top semiconductor talents can be cultivated and used by TSMC, the money is worth it.

TSMC’s emphasis on talents is not only that. In September last year, TSMC cooperated with six local universities to set up semiconductor disciplines. Regarding the cultivation of advanced integrated circuit talents as a goal, and this year TSMC has made a lot of money, not only can attract talents, but also prevent the loss of talents. After all, apart from TSMC, I am afraid it will be difficult to find better trees to live in.

Ren Zhengfei’s call

TSMC does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to support and subsidize talents. Although TSMC has not clearly stated that it wants these talents to enter TSMC, from the perspective of the conditions of TSMC’s subsidy application, they are all aimed at doctors engaged in research in the semiconductor industry.

TSMC happens to be a leader in the semiconductor field. Obviously, TSMC’s subsidy is to reserve talent for itself. It also fully reflects TSMC’s emphasis on talents. As long as talents can be obtained, spending high scholarships is a trivial matter. It seems that Ren Zhengfei’s call should be taken seriously.

When Ren Zhengfei visited Shanghai Jiaotong University, he said that we must attach importance to and respect talents, which is the key to the development of national science and technology and social progress. Attach importance to personnel training, and basic scientific research is the prerequisite for development.

Ren Zhengfei’s call only expresses one point of view, that is, to have enough attention and respect for talents. TSMC pays great attention to its large-scale scholarships, and it does not explicitly require these talents to join TSMC to respect them. Therefore, Ren Zhengfei’s call should be taken seriously. Don’t let the talents run away and start to regret it. It will be too late then.

China has started action

TSMC’s ability to become the world’s number one is more than just mastering advanced EUV lithography machines.

It also has top semiconductor industry experts such as Zhang Zhongmou, Lin Benjian, Jiang Shangyi, Liang Mengsong, Hu Zhengming and so on. Either one is enough to change the pattern of the semiconductor industry, and TSMC has countless top talents. This is also an important reason for the rise of TSMC.

Although Jiang Shangyi, Liang Mengsong, and Hu Zhengming have all left, and Zhang Zhongmou has retired, but with Liu Deyin and Wei Zhe’s pillars, TSMC will not fall.

It is worth mentioning that China has already begun to act. Let the state come forward and let Tsinghua University, Xiamen University, Nanjing University and many other universities develop the national integrated circuit industry integration innovation platform. Assist the rise of talents in China’s integrated circuit industry and attach importance to the development and cultivation of corresponding talents.

As the world’s largest chip foundry, TSMC has mastered advanced technology. There are indeed many things that mainland semiconductor companies can learn from. The emphasis on talents requires the long-term efforts of domestic semiconductor companies and the industry. For the future of Chinese chips, we must pay attention to it.

to sum up

TSMC’s investment in talents is an investment in the future of the company, because TSMC knows that no matter how advanced technology is, talents are needed to participate in research and development. Advanced chip manufacturing processes such as 5nm, 4nm, and 3nm are all at the forefront of the world.

The chip is man-made, not made by God. If others can, why can’t we. I believe that with sufficient talent reserves, no matter how difficult it is to make chips, no matter how big the difficulty is, it can be overcome one by one.
