The One Behind It All Chapter 105

In fact, Aiden has known this for a long time. As early as May 31, 2008, Aiden stated within the company, "We are in an era of excess electronic products, and there will continue to be excess. Excess products will never be sold at high prices. Taking optical transmission products as an example, Seven Prices have been reduced by 20 times in eight years, and the oversupply of the market economy is like a strangulation war. What is a strangulation war? As long as water comes out of a towel, it means there is still room for competition. If the towel is broken, the enterprise will be finished. The towel is wrung out and the towel is still in use, this is the best state. "

In an email to Huawei's EMT (core management) and some product line executives, Aiden forwarded a short article titled "Cisco Prepares for Winter" published by Fortune in the United States, and solemnly wrote about this article Note: "Cisco's today is our tomorrow. Of course, I am not motivating people, but warning people that they are more aware of the difficulty and cruelty of market competition than we are. Cisco is smarter than us, and they are aware of the difficulties in the future earlier. Measures have been taken, but we are just relatively numb."

In fact, compared to the performance of most companies, Aiden is not insensitive at all.

Aiden is famous for his bad temper at Huawei. He has been scolded harshly by his family, friends and senior Huawei executives. But to ordinary employees, he is an amiable elder who is very concerned about the problems they report. Once in the elevator room, several young department-level cadres at Huawei began to complain about why the company did not set up a financial system at the base, causing them to be constantly busy with business trip reimbursements and out of breath. When the elevator reached the 7th floor, where the president's office was located, an "old worker" with his sleeves rolled up emerged from the corner of the elevator without saying a word. Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at each other, "It's over." But just a dozen days later, the employees discovered that the hoped-for base financial system had been established. Employees feel the warmth of spring, "Mr. Ren cares about people the most", "Mr. Ren handles things the most impartially", "Mr. Ren is the most loyal"...

In 1998, Aiden said half-jokingly at an internal company meeting that he had never known why it was difficult for him to get promoted in the army. Zhu Jianping (then head of the Propaganda Department of Hua) said bluntly: "No wonder you are in the army." If you can't get promoted, it will be difficult for someone with a bad temper like yours to have a good relationship with your boss. The reason why Huawei people can tolerate your hot temper is just because you are the boss. "Unexpectedly, Aiden not only didn't get angry, but also had a look on his face. wry smile.
