Su Xiaoling: Ren Zhengfei, who is sandwiched in a big country, still maintains a sober thinking beyond the national position so far, and strives to resist the pressure of public opinion that must be patriotic. He understands that great companies cannot be isolated from the world.
Two days ago, Ren Zhengfei, the founder and CEO of Huawei, talked with two American business writers and once again occupied the media headlines.In addition to expressing the confidence of Huawei who is not afraid of the United States, he is the unsteady bird, but also continues the previous humble theory. It is acknowledged that the contribution of Huawei in the invention of society is still small.In order to meet the ultimate goal of catching up with the needs of human civilization and creating wealth for more people.
In the eyes of Chinese consumers, Huawei is a giant of a private technology company.Like many people, the author has experienced the convenient service function of Honor mobile phones.Huawei's outstanding performance in the international market has also given Chinese people a sense of pride in the great progress brought about by the great progress of science and technology.But in Ren Zhengfei's heart, perhaps this kind of national pride is not very strong. He should be an entrepreneur who has great ambitions and hopes to completely embrace modern humans.Huawei's chief financial officer Ms. Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Canada. Some people condemned or scolded the United States, but Ren Zhengfei, as his father, was extremely calm.He still smiled with his charm and faced the shots of the entire world.
Historical opportunities and space of Huawei's rise
Right now, Huawei 5G has been blocked by the United States and even the world's larger scope, and there is a great trend of Chu.But Ren Zhengfei seemed to not change his face and respond calmly.Huawei's growth condenses all his efforts, and it is to get rid of technical dilemma and market limitations by hard work.He knew in his heart that the ship in the middle of the ocean was most afraid of losing his direction and determination.He is more clear that it is China that it has been forced to implement the reform and opening up of 40 years and the original source of the poverty backwardness.And enterprise autonomy, market economy, free trade, etc. are keywords!
It must be acknowledged that WTO is a strong stroke.It gave the Chinese economy a motivation to completely turn over.From the Qianlong period to the Opium War, the Chinese lost the opportunity to embrace the world with peace trade hugging the world again and again. It was not until the 1980s that they suddenly realized in a series of difficulties.Began to face the development of the world and the global economic integration, and to overcome the obstacles of the country and social development in a certain approximation of scientific thinking and effective ways.In China to join the WTO international trade organization, the US government is the initiator and a pusher.
A historic breakthrough allows China and the United States to enter the most mutually beneficial and substantial honeymoon relationship since the establishment of diplomatic relations, and even have a broader understanding of communication space in the fields of politics, culture, education.Such a background undoubtedly boosts confidence in the entire Chinese society as a whole.Entrepreneur Ren Zhengfei also used this unprecedented historical opportunity without exception.After practicing internal skills, Huawei, as a strategic development enterprise of the country, actively moved towards a broader international entrepreneurial business.In Ren Zhengfei's eyes, the progress of scientific and technological progress is naturally the result of the world that can be shared by the world.
Unexpectedly, entrepreneurs suddenly encountered a kind of trouble in international politics!Because of the suspicion of spy, Huawei's products became the object of investigation and sanctions by the US government.Ren Zhengfei shouted unjust, but the United States ignored it.At the time of entanglement, it once again encountered the US government's trade war against China.The United States has pinched the Chinese government's incompetence and the harmful behavior of Huawei enterprises, and confirms each other's dishonest behavior logic, and strongly requires justice for the interests and security of the country.State affairs plus enterprises, rolled Ren Zhengfei into the rotary vortex deeply.
Ren Zhengfei was tied to a national chariot?
Of course, Ren Zhengfei knows that although the Sino -US trade friction has such a reason, the most important thing is that the state system that cannot be connected to each other.From after World War II, the world pattern has changed fundamentally.The differences between the economies of various countries have narrowed with global integration.The opening of the information revolution and the market has made international relations changes in nature. Information interoperability, resource sharing and peaceful competition have become the main ways to develop.Otherwise, it is difficult to imagine that countries such as China have a huge population and backward foundation will achieve a super speed development in decades, and the total amount of GDP surpasses Japan's second largest in the world.
Perhaps it is the pattern of this change that makes mature and stable capitalist countries such as the United States facing a pretty uncomfortable survival response, and even a sense of crisis.In the past few decades, the United States has also declined for various domestic and foreign reasons. The downturn in domestic manufacturing has also affected the living state of the middle class.At this time, the rise of the rise of the original Chinese trees was obscure, and it attacked with the help of economic strength, which made the new US President Trump's imagination: China's strength is at the cost of sacrificing the interests of the United States?Moreover, China ’s 5G science and technology leading position is particularly dazzling.More seriously, the US intelligence agency seized Huawei to provide products to Iran and violated the clues of relevant US laws.In this way, a storm was lifted.
The trade war on the reason for the trade deficit is intertwined with the scientific and technological war that may be generated due to 5G, which makes a period of evil between Sino -US relations inevitable.It can be judged that, except for the government's senior management, almost no one in China is willing to conflict with the powerful United States.The problem is that whether the Chinese government or the Chinese government, the state of the United States understands or the purpose to be solved is not so simple.And because economic and trade involves the structural reform of China, it has made it difficult to resolve the symptoms.As a Huawei leader, Ren Zhengfei, in the face of such a dilemma involved in the national level, of course, he was just helpless.
Thanks to the United States for teaching us how to walk.Today, it is normal for students to surpass the teacher's jealousy and suppression, and students will eventually surpass Mr. Mdash; mdash; this is Ren Zhengfei's logic.As for the trade war, he said: In fact, he has already been prepared for a long -term war, but in the end, he will meet the United States at a peak to achieve the height of the technology of benefiting humans.This kind of humility, self -confidence and domineering caused by a certain kind of blue is better than blue, which really gives people too much imagination.A private enterprise will never be seen and respected in China. How can he go to this world today?
Ren Zhengfei always strongly runs his own business, allows Huawei to fully respect various scientific and technological talents, follow the business principles of international traffic, and carefully abide by the various rules set by everyone, so that the products are one inch and one foot, and the international occupies the world.market.This obvious hard -earned integration of the results, Ren Zhengfei naturally cherished and worked hard to expand and defend.From the moment, he is not completely worried that Huawei will always lose the markets of the United States and even this related European countries, but one thing is clear: less than a last resort, Huawei will look forward to the olive branches extended from Washington.
In a simple and complex structure, Ren Zhengfei is very sober.Huawei cannot be isolated from the world. Even if the relationship with the United States is cut off today, it will definitely get MDASH; mdash tomorrow; if the facts prove that Huawei does not have a malignant problem, if it is not proven to endanger the national security in the court;Separate anger and reason, separate the United States and American politicians; or if China and the United States can finally respect common sense and return to the normal relationship of rational and logic.Because of this, people think that he has a great respect for common sense.
Indeed, Ren Zhengfei thinks of all major issues with his own mind. His judgment on the value of a country is based on the judgment of his facts.Therefore, he agrees that the United States as a democratic country and acknowledge the limitations of his country.It even agrees that Trump, who is president, has a great side, because his policy of reducing tax reduction rate is conducive to industrial development and won a century of competitiveness for the United States.Even if it is standing in a gunbolt rain, Ren Zhengfei has to think about the rationality and legitimacy of the war in front of him.He didn't want to treat himself as a certain target, let alone Huawei's entire army.
Ren Zhengfei is trying to avoid his companies from being involved in the trade battle between the two countries.But unfortunately, Huawei has been dragged into the contradictions that he never expectedDilemma.
The more serious problem lies in that as China's official high -profile and anti -the United States, the patriotic emotions of the people are mobilized, the potential contradictions of the ideology of China and the United States are activated and intensified. As an entrepreneur, Ren Zhengfei also seems to be pushed into a chariot step by step.In the increasing wave of nationalism in China, it is responsible for the huge pressure and risks that must be patriotic!It is often very dangerous to choose a political station team, even if it stands for the national team.Internally, it is easy to become a kind of power of power on wealth attributes; and outside, it will inevitably become a tool for nationalism, resulting in the loss of fairness in the competition of the free market.
We have conflicts with the United States, but in the end we still have to serve human beings together. Ren Zhengfei said so.This is not only a kind of ambition to allow Huawei as the world's first technological supplier, but also a vision and realm, a vision that integrates and builds a beautiful world together.It can be imagined that if you change to the chairman of a state -owned enterprise background, it is difficult to calm down in response to such a passionate incident today: To maintain the image of a large country, to a capitalist country like the United States, you must have a needle to match Mai Mang and never compromise!It only emphasizes stance without considering right and wrong. It is a problem that many people are easily committed, especially when they encounter positions and are related to interests.In fact, is Ren Zhengfei who wants to pursue the universal value of technology through Huawei?
With the intensification of the trade war or the start of the scientific and technological war, Huawei will also be pushed by domestic public opinion to the ideological battle between China and the United States.A private entrepreneur represents the image of the country's game. Its passive posture will be clearly seen all over the world, but there are many contradictions and pain. Perhaps only Ren Zhengfei knows it!When Ren Zhengfei accepted the American Times Weekly, he said: If you do not enter the US market, Huawei can also be the world's first.This sounds like he does not belong to his own expression.What first?Is the market share of Huawei, or Huawei's scientific and technological capabilities?
The ultimate problem of Huawei is China's modern transformation
The United States can be described as a great order for the modern civilization of this world.However, in a complete economic community, it is self -protection, abandoning responsibilities, and damage. Even if there are many objective reasons, there is a major country of thinking.In China, China is also not qualified to be stubborn, in order to emphasize some special characteristics to avoid the constraints of legal rules.What's more, in the social construction of major related modern civilizations such as culture, politics, and rule of law, China lacks its own valuable updates. As an economist, Mr. Zhang Weiying once pointed out: In the past 500 years, he has not contributed to human society.The author believes that many domestic intellectuals also have their own tendency to treat the country: love China is out of emotions, and like the United States is rational.
China obviously needs to be fully upgraded, especially in terms of system, even if it pays for pain.In terms of relations with the United States, China does not need to be particularly stubborn.It is a great country, and the United States is a strong country, and the distance between the great power and the power is not just a step away.The superior tradition of the United States is not only a history of nearly 300 years, but the result of the accumulation and refraction of human civilization for thousands of years.
There is a huge difference in historical and cultural and realistic values between China and the United States. This is the fundamental that various contradictions have always been tangled.The United States, the European Union, Japan, or other countries and regions similar to other systems have formed a common system of value and democracy after several decades of running -in, and there is no potential factor in each other.Even if there are disputes in economic benefits, there are too intense trade wars, but it will not be enough to be a sharp consequences of mutual harm between the interests of the country.During the 70 years established by the WTO, there is no state conflict like China and the United States intertwined today.
Although the US -Japan trade war, although Japan was beaten for 20 years, it was forced to carry out structural reforms except for structural reforms, which did not involve social consequences other than economic interests.It can be said that China ’s joining the WTO is largely a miracle created by the United States and China.This kind of opposition should not occur in China and the United States, and more should gain greater consensus and win -win situation in value.Unfortunately, both sides have no way to get started to solve this almost eternal problem.Even we, whether it is Chinese intellectuals or ordinary people, cannot understand the root cause of the conflict between China and the United States, and it is impossible to participate in any discussions close to real issues.
Because of the contradiction between China and the United States, there are several types of sayings: the conflict of civilization, the trap of Xiu Xidi, and the Chinese -style Marshall plan.Different levels of civilization conflicts are objectively existing in religious or secular worlds.Regardless of the form of China and the United States, each of them expresses each other and show its own ability.As for the Xunxiddus trap or Marshall plan, it has not yet reached this place.One of the reasons I think is the vital reason that China's modern culture and thoughts need to be cultivated; the comprehensive strength of internal affairs and diplomacy is not enough to support these two theories.
At that time, the Marshall plan was a comprehensive and powerful United States that won the world's respect. The economy rescued by the allies to be destroyed by the war (the expansion of the Soviet forces is only second).Today, China ’s Belt and Road Initiative has established investment economic relations under the principle of mutual benefit, and by the way expand development space and seek its own strength.I believe that China's leadership is looking for gas stations, not rushing towards one terminal.Deep in their hearts, they will not really fight against the United States.The key is how to make the necessary and dignified concessions, and put down the baggage and light up, and continue to have the historical relationship between me and me among you, and complete the transformation of modern and civilized modern state.
Some scholars believe that the trade competition between the two superpowers of China and the United States has surpassed the existing trade theory and put forward a advice to the two parties: there is no winner in the trade war!The author also warned the risk of trade war in December last year in an article published by FT Chinese website, but it did not expect that the friction between the two countries would evolve into another more and more disaster -ranging scientific and technological war or even the Cold War.Due to the gradual upgrading of the conflict between the two sides, the lack of rational anti -American voices in the country has become increasingly rising, and it seems that Ren Zhengfei's statement has also made some contradictions, and the external image of his Huawei enterprise also looks blurred: Will it be strong or declining?
Recently, there is another kind of extreme nationalism. The sound of nationalism is spreading: the wisdom of the city opposes and resist the entire United States, and a ruthless warning of people who want to solve the conflict between Sino -US trade in China in China, and have pushed the trade dispute toThe turbulent momentum of the Cold War and even the hot war.Indeed, at such a historical barrier, we need the wisdom of senior leaders. This wisdom contains the political operation of compromise.History has long proven that the fighting countries or people will not have a good ending.Today's human beings still need peace, and international relations still need to be expensive.... the latest call with Trump allows people to shook hands and look forward to them at the G20 summit next Sunday!
Regardless of the ending of China -US contradictions, whether Huawei has won the international market, as a CEO of a private enterprise, Ren Zhengfei's success is beyond the words; no matter what the help factors are in the role of the role, he is the greatness to serve as an entrepreneur.No doubt.At least, he surpassed the narrowness and short -sightedness of ordinary Chinese business operators, can distinguish between the normal relationship between humans and nations, can treat the results of world civilization with the greatest sincerity, and fully respect the free market for enterprises and even every individual.Positive value and strength.Ren Zhengfei's entrepreneurs are respectable, and because China is really scarce!
