Sun Yafang, who is over 62 years old, joined Huawei halfway. Before that, he worked as a technician, research institute teacher and technical engineer in a wireless power plant. No one expected that 1989 At the age of 34, she was doing marketing when she joined Huawei. Starting from the market, Sun Yafang went through a lot of hardships. After years of tempering, he knew everything about not only grass-roots work, but also top management.
Originally, whether or not to consider setting up the post of chairman has something to do with Huawei's insistence on not going public for 28 years, even if it is the "state machine" first.
1996, Sun Yafang established Huawei's "Wolf" marketing system, which made great contributions to the rapid growth of turnover and played a decisive role in the development of enterprises later. Considering the first-class communication skills, 1998, Ren proposed Sun Lai as the chairman of the company, mainly responsible for external coordination and focusing on internal management.
13 years, Huawei achieved sales revenue of 239 billion yuan and generated net profit of 2 10 billion yuan, up 34.3% year-on-year, directly surpassing Ericsson and becoming the world's first communication equipment manufacturer. Since then, Huawei has fully launched its globalization strategy, from the leader of communication equipment to the leader of industry trends.
In Huawei, Ren is notoriously grumpy, and subordinates who can't understand his intentions are often called "stupid as pigs". It is often the first time to understand the meaning of Ren. In the long run, Ren also spoke highly of Sun's views. It is said that in the copywriting of company-level documents, compared with other vice presidents, they all need full names, and both of them are commensurate with "Ren Zong" and "Sun Zong". Even in informal situations, Ren is also called "General Manager Sun".
I believe this is not just a rumor. Ren wrote in "My Father and Mother": "I got a call from Ji Ping, saying that my mother came out of the vegetable market around 10 in the morning, carrying two cabbages, and was seriously injured by a car. Mr. Sun has gone to Kunming to organize rescue. " Ji Ping is Huawei's executive vice president in charge of finance, while Sun always. Although Sun is not an entrepreneurial veteran of Huawei, it shows that Ren Zhengfei is different from Sun.
Now, known as Huawei's "stunning beauty", it is rumored that reprimanding subordinates can be as good as Ren. As a woman, Sun Yafang pays more attention to details. For example, if she is found not wearing a tie at the exhibition, she will be criticized by Sun Yafang. In the company, no one will confront Sun except the vice president. It was also his fiery temper that brought a new turn to some originally deadlocked situations in the negotiations, thus laying the foundation for Su's resolute attitude.
I think it's very likely that the Iron Lady in her 60s will work like Ren into her 70s.
