This time, Aiden personally came to Russia to promote Huawei. However, it happened to be that China's counterfeit and shoddy goods were flooding in Russia. This move did not help. Zhu Jianping, who was in charge of the exhibition at the time, said that at that time, almost all shops on the streets of Moscow had a sign at the door: "This store does not sell Chinese goods." As soon as they heard that they were Chinese, the customers in front of the booth left in a hurry.
Then, the financial crisis occurred in Russia in 1998, and the entire telecommunications industry came to a standstill.
Huawei’s road to Russia seems to have come to an end. However, according to Aiden's temper, he could not accept such a result, so he became more stubborn.
In early 1998, when Li Jie was still in charge of Huawei's Hunan market, Aiden suddenly ordered him to be transferred to Russia to develop the market. When he left China, his biggest piece of luggage was a box of books. At that time, he had only one feeling: loneliness.
What's colder than the harsh weather in Russia? Li Jie, currently the manager of Huawei's CIS regional branch, will tell us that it was the Russian telecommunications market around 1998.
