“People assigned to the Pentagon may not necessarily have a bright future, while people working in the field may get promoted faster,” he said, explaining the importance he assigns to the company’s front-line workforce. This is not because we are stupid, but because we want to create a strong competitor for Huawei's 190,000 employees to stop them from becoming complacent.I don't think it's necessary for the US government to approve the transfer, either.
If the US heads towards decoupling its tech from the rest of the world and creating a digital divide, that would be a blow to its leading companies. Mr. Ren ignored the advice.
The memo, whose contents haven’t been disclosed previously, outlined a three-pronged plan for fighting back: engage foreign media, battle on the legal front and invest in technology.According to Ms. Chen’s memo, Mr. Ren had described the company’s public-engagement strategy as a “Marshmallow Campaign.” Huawei sought to turn around public suspicions of the company with a media charm offensive, led by Mr. Ren, who had barely given interviews to foreign media or spoken on the global stage.“Not pushing too hard, but still making our messages stick,” was Ms. Chen’s description of the strategy. He remains an admirer of American culture, and often offers praise of President Trump, sometimes with tongue seemingly in cheek: He said a gilded hall on Huawei’s new campus in Dongguan, near Shenzhen, had been nicknamed “Trump Corridor.”Cross-country travels through the U.S. in the 1990s brought the budding executive to Silicon Valley, where he took copious notes about his meetings with executives there.
Huawei’s Chairman and founder, Ren Zhengfei, is a unique personality who, for the last 25 years, has gained a reputation for leading his company like an army. Over the past 18 months, the U.S. has fired a fusillade against Huawei—from criminal indictments to a supplier blacklisting and restrictions on sales in the U.S.The past month has seen new setbacks.
“At that time, there was chaos almost everywhere,” Ren said in January.
Please be careful,” Ms. Meng said, in a message relayed by her husband, a former Huawei employee. This is impeding our development in the US, so we are transferring our business to Canada. Operational amplifiers required very stringent linearity, resulting in a yield rate of only about 5%.But the US was designing products with digital circuits, meaning the yield rate for their chipsets was over 33%.
Second, we are open to licensing our proprietary 5G technologies, including the whole suite of 5G network technologies and solutions, such as software source code, hardware design, manufacturing techniques, network planning and optimization, and testing methods.
This will ensure they can keep pace with our technological advancement.After they've finished modifying our technology to the point that Huawei no longer knows what's in their system, Huawei will continue to work with that company for the next 10 years.
Without the weight of a stone, grass grows even more happily.
Now, the idea of retirement seems far off—he told an interviewer last year that he has delayed it to focus on the crisis at Huawei.Yet Mr. Ren has reasons to be optimistic. Doing that is not only costly but a huge burden to us.So first, we are willing to license our 5G patents to a US company following the fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) principles.
Take Microsoft as an example. We are willing to license all of these technologies without reserve to a US company.
He said the lawsuit was a necessary countermeasure to the U.S.’s relentless assault on Huawei.The company filed a second lawsuit in the U.S. on Dec. 5, this time accusing the Federal Communications Commission of violating its due-process rights for a decision banning rural customers from using a subsidy to buy Huawei gear.
In that document, I encouraged them to use American, European, and Japanese bricks to build our Great Wall. The company decided to file a lawsuit challenging a defense act that blocked federal agencies and contractors from buying Huawei products.To announce the lawsuit, Huawei arranged a press conference in Shenzhen.
We think the information market will be huge in the future, and that there is a lot of room for further development. The Board of Directors (BOD) is the highest body responsible for corporate strategy, operations management, etc.. Huawei has been shut out of 5G markets including New Zealand and Australia. If our competitors were not strong enough to compete with us, we would begin to decline. 5G base stations are a completely transparent system, where data packages are not opened and are just directly transmitted to other parts of the network. The US staged a comeback in the electronics industry.
