Opportunities always patronize prepared persons

Opportunities always patronize prepared persons

I always think that opportunities always patronize people who are prepared. As long as you seize the opportunity, the change will take a moment. So six years ago, I decided to stop my job at Intel's U.S. headquarters and my upcoming career opportunities in Shanghai. It may be a strong opportunity. In the past six years in Shanghai, through continuous attempts and constant pursuit of innovation, our team and I have created great achievements in every position we have experienced.

· Difficult choices ·

My intel journey started in the United States. When I graduated from high school, I got into the physics major of the Chinese University of Science and Technology. Four years later, I successfully applied for a PhD in physics at a well-known solid physics lab at the University of Southern California. After obtaining a doctorate, we first developed semiconductor materials at Motorola in Phoenix. Later, in 2000, I joined Intel in charge of Transistor technology and process integration.

In the fourth year of joining intel, I made a decision, perhaps the most important in my career-return to China! At that time, I had lived in the United States for 18 years. I have already been familiar with American life. Why do I have to return to China in an emergency? In fact, this is due to a coincidental chat. During the chat, a friend mentioned that Intel's factory in Pudong, Shanghai was recruiting a product engineering manager and told me the requirements for this position and Intel's business in China. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this position is especially suitable for me, and the rapid development of the motherland has long been an irresistible attraction to me, this conversation made my heart so excited.

At that time, I was faced with a very difficult choice. With four years of hard work and performance, I was selected as the qualified director (yield manager ). This is the most difficult and technically comprehensive position in the chip factory. It can be said that in addition to instrument management, work and process integration at all technical levels belong to their responsibilities. In my mind, this is also a very challenging position, so it is also my career dream to be a qualified yield manager. Now, with your unremitting efforts, this opportunity is coming soon. My boss told me straight after learning about my thoughts on returning home: "The competition for this position is fierce. If you go back to China, even if you come to the United States one day
The possibility of manager is also very small.

My boss's words made me fall into a painful choice. But in the end, I chose to return to China and choose to go to the Shanghai Packaging factory as the product department director. I chose to lead the local young and energetic engineers to do a career. For me, the new challenges after returning home seem more attractive.

Before leaving, my boss had a long talk with me and solemnly gave me three words: Learn and accomplish) and share ). He told me that I must learn from local teams how to do things in China, how to lead the team to a higher level, and how to use the technology and operation methods of Intel's headquarters in words and deeds, and the deep-rooted spiritual culture passed on to Chinese teams. In this way, in the second half of 2004, I got on a flight back to China and a new unknown journey. What is my future?

· Change "assignment" to "local "·

Just like working abroad, challenges after returning home are everywhere. I remember that I encountered a severe problem in my work shortly after I arrived at the Shanghai factory. That year, Intel chip production encountered a general technical problem, and the chip and substrate welding was unqualified, resulting in great losses. At that time, many technical experts were involved in this global battle. I also led several local colleagues from the Shanghai encapsulation factory to participate.

During my work, I was deeply impressed by the solid knowledge accumulation and rigorous attitude of local scientific research talents. However, I also found that, unlike American employees, many domestic technical staff are relatively weak in leading the team to effectively solve problems and communicate smoothly. However, many years of work experience tells me that none of Intel's jobs can be done on its own. Therefore, how can we change the working method of local engineers so that they can share the latest creation with other team members in the shortest time? How can we guide the entire team to reach a new technical level through collaboration in the most effective way? All of them became issues of anxiety and doubt at the time.

In confusion, I thought of my boss before returning home, so in the next work, I began to consciously establish a culture of collaboration between people, teams, and teams. In order to promote teamwork, I remind each of them to think about how to make the work of their colleagues easier by doing one thing every day. In my daily lab and other work, I will also communicate with the entire team in a timely manner, and let engineers share their experiences and opinions with each other so that they can feel that through mutual communication, everyone's vision can be expanded, and their thoughts can be deepened. Soon I found that our engineer team had changed. Among them, the most significant thing is that each packaging plant in the world directly reports the latest research progress on Welding issues to the Headquarters every week, the efficiency of our Pudong team and the ability of engineers to solve technical problems have greatly improved.

After several years of enterprise culture construction and technical capability development, the Pudong plant is considered by Intel production headquarters as the most engineering and professional team in the global packaging and testing plant. This gave me full confidence in becoming a new member of the Pudong engineer team and gave birth to my enthusiasm.

In addition to strong professionalism, the local team's strict discipline and conscientious and responsible working spirit also impressed me.

On September 19, February 2009, the Pudong packaging plant announced the integration of its business into the Chengdu plant, where employees faced the problem of job transfer or even job selection. At this very moment, we have received an almost impossible task-within eight weeks, our small-size product production will increase by 800%! But what I did not think of was that the sense of responsibility and strict discipline established over the years have made all the staff choose to stick to the last moment, and the Pudong factory successfully completed this seemingly "impossible task, it makes a perfect ending for business adjustment. At that time, as the director of the plant, I had a strong respect for the professionalism of all employees in Pudong.

Now, in retrospect, it is my luck to lead such a team and work together with such employees to meet the challenges. Therefore, I am more confident in my motherland, in March 2010, the "expatriate" staff at the headquarters were changed to a local employee on the road, leading the newly established embedded and communication product business department, responsible for all non-PC industries except mobile phones and Smart TVs. I was very touched, excited, and a little uneasy about this career change, because I knew that I had to learn too much.

· Change is the final principle ·

From 2004 to now, I have worked in China for six years. In the past six years, my deepest experience has changed from my passion for Technology in the United States to my passion for team culture and team building in China. At the same time, I have also contributed to the growth of domestic employees, and I am glad to live up to the expectations of my boss. More importantly, your leadership skills have been trained and improved. Through words and deeds, my team has mastered how to work in line with Intel culture, and can work smoothly with colleagues from all over the world to develop together, achieving win-win development for individuals and companies.

At the beginning of my return home, I found that local employees faced many obstacles in international cooperation with employees in the United States, Malaysia and other regions, and encountered problems in communication methods and technical capabilities. These intangible obstacles make it impossible for our local employees to show their elegance on the same stage as other employees. After finding this problem, I began to think about how to let the team break through this bottleneck as soon as possible, so that they can play a wonderful role with their counterparts in foreign factories?

Unlike the United States, Chinese culture means less talk and more work. After realizing this, I started to adjust the communication methods from both American colleagues and local engineers. The first thing I did was to communicate with engineers at the US plant and ask them to try to change the way they used to stimulate the enthusiasm of the Chinese team. Later, I began to focus on improving the soft power of my local team, and focused on strengthening my communication skills. Soon, I achieved good results.

While leading the team to improve their core competencies, I was delighted to find that the young employees in the local factory were active, passionate, and did a good job. As a manager, you can see that these are also infected, and your work is full of effort. After working with these energetic young people for a few years, I feel that I have made great changes without knowing it. I can't believe that I have such great potential in team building and project cooperation. Young people from the Chinese team have developed my potential to make more comprehensive development and progress.

Recently, I tried to summarize my career development history in different cultural environments at home and abroad over the past decade and share it with young people. The opportunity is really amazing. Everyone has to encounter many opportunities in their life and need to make a choice. At this time, many people will only reach out to seize the opportunities that are clear enough, and turn a blind eye to the opportunities that are not yet promising, because they are suffering from the loss and are worried that they will be able to gain these opportunities at the same time, it will also lose many of its original things. But sometimes, what is unknown is what is the most attractive and worth looking forward to, in order to bring unpredictable surprises and leaps in the way of life. Of course, seizing these opportunities is inseparable from hard work and hard work. That is to say, you must pay attention to accumulation at ordinary times, and you will be able to accumulate more and more opportunities. Otherwise, even if the opportunity comes, it will slip away from your fingertips.

Based on this experience and idea, I look forward to continuing to try and explore with my team in the future to create new opportunities of my own!
