He said the zhijun of Huawei executives ' speeches to the top of an operator has represented the will of the board. Zhijun said recently that Huawei does not consider the overall listing within 5-10 years, does not consider the spin-off listing, does not consider through the merger, the merger, the acquisition way, enters the capital game.

As for the successor issue, Ren bluntly, Huawei's successor, in addition to having previously talked about the vision, character, will demand, but also have the foresight of value evaluation, and control the business environment, and other aspects of the ability. "These abilities are not available to my family, so they will never enter the succession sequence," he said. ”

He said that over the past more than 20 years, he has written a number of articles, in addition to the European Union, all of the speeches are by themselves thinking and writing, fully represent their own voice.

E-mail Number "2013" No. 56th issuer: ren

Ninghing Summary of statements made by non-shareholding staff Congress

March 30, 2013

After the vote on the various resolutions, the question of three aspects was left to the point. First, on the rumors of the company listing; second, on the rumor of succession; third, about my relationship with the media.

I. Clarification on the listing of companies

The development of any company is not only a way of listing, allow some enterprises to slowly accumulate growth. These enterprises are mainly management, rather than capital management. Outside of the Secretary for the listing of the issue, I am responsible for clarifying. For more than more than 20 years, the board has never studied the issue of listing because we think the listing is not suitable for our development. The recent speech by Zhijun to a top operator represents the will of the board of Directors. Xu said: "In the next 5-10 years, the company will not consider the overall listing, do not consider a spin-off, do not consider through mergers, acquisitions, acquisitions, the way to enter the capital game." There will be no joint ventures with external capital to avoid being dragged into the capital trap. In the next 5-10 years, the company will be committed to administrative reform, efforts to move the company from a centralized company, through the responsibility and power forward, so that people can hear the cannon to call the fire. In order to promote the organization from the control type, to the service, the support type transformation, forms a modernized management enterprise which adapts the modern demand. "I fully support this idea, so there is no basis for rumours that the company is going to be listed."

Ii. on the subject of succession

Having been concerned about this issue for a long time, I am responsible for clarifying a few questions:

1, the company is not my personal, so the successor is not my decision, but everyone is the boss. The outside world deified me, in fact not so. At the beginning of my career, I was able to perceive myself as incapable of choosing the meritocracy, if not, maybe the company was obsolete in the early years. Now the company is so big, will not go back to choose the only pro. Because the company is the collective leadership, many successful things, we do not know hat should wear on whose head, it is pressed to my head. Actually, I wore a straw hat on my head.

2. Today's rotating CEO runs very well, not necessarily tomorrow's rotating board chairman will not work well. Huawei's board does not fully represent the capital side, it also represents the Labor Party (currently the director must be employees). In the past 25 years of success, we have balanced development, not necessarily the next 20 years will not find a better balance of development solutions. We will strive to promote administrative reform in the past 3-5 years, and 3-5 years later, we will promote the reform of governance structure and mode of operation. Reform too fast, easy to tear up the difficult to build up the management, with the gully, the march will be more not smooth, want to speed and not reach. A lot of capital inflows will make Huawei blindly diversify and stall.

3, my family has four people work in Huawei Company. I told you before, veteran, there was a man in Lanzhou with a backpack belt, carrying a small switch, train to counties, districts to promote is my relatives; in the Xixiang factory did six months packers, wearing underwear, bare upper body nail boxes, and later in Sichuan installed cargo, damaged the lumbar spine is my relatives, ...; Two or three days before the birth of the work, half a month after the resumption of work is my relatives, they are based on their own work, work hard in Huawei. They are only a professional manager who will never enter the succession sequence. I have made it clear that I want to be less suspicious so as not to waste your energy.

Huawei's successor, in addition to the past we have talked about the vision, character, will requirements, but also have the foresight of value evaluation, and the ability to control the commercial ecological environment.

Huawei's successor is to have the vision of a global market, the ability to execute transactions and service objectives, and a deep understanding of new technologies and customer needs, and an ability to be complacent.

Huawei's successor, must also have end-to-end on the company a large number of business flows, logistics, capital flow ..., simplifying the management capacity;

These abilities are not available to my family, so they will never enter the succession sequence.

Iii. my relationship with the media

For the media, I am almost completely transparent. Ching came, I wrote how many articles, in addition to speaking in the EU, all are I think and write, fully represent my voice. It doesn't have to be a face-to-face interview to be Transparent, Iven is also possible. These articles, are all open on the company's web, outside can also be transparent to see. I think the article is all public, so I also counted in writing for the media interview. I often look at the issues on the Internet, for these issues, in fact, I have already answered in the article.
