heroes don’t ask where they come from;

those who create value should be respected.

——meng wanzhou

after many years,

back to my alma mater again,

i was both moved and emotional.

our campus,

it has gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes and endless life;

we on campus,

i am a young classmate who is in my prime.

looking at you here,

it reminds me of my middle school days.

in that era, carriages and horses were very slow;

the letters are far away and the time is very long.

as a former student,

i am very grateful to my alma mater for nurturing me.

there is an end to the ends of the earth,

teacher's kindness is infinitely difficult to repay.

i also want to thank my classmates for their concern and concern for me.

the letters you wrote to me,

like a torch,

give me warmth, give me strength! these friendships accompany me,

more and more dangers,

climb mountains after mountains,

chase every dream.

today,

the topics i share are:

thousands of volumes of reading and thousands of cups of coffee.

when we were students, we were thirsty for knowledge;

use thousands of books to enrich your knowledge and thoughts;

after entering society,

we slowly realize

"it is difficult for those who work alone to get up, but it is easy for those who work together to follow",

any progress requires the sharing of knowledge and experience from others.

every opportunity to drink coffee with others,

it’s a rare meeting of minds,

a thousand cups of coffee is about gathering the wisdom of others to open up your own thinking.

"thousands of volumes of reading, thousands of cups of coffee",

this is what i have observed and thought along the way,

i hope it will be helpful to you on campus.

everyone can be a teacher,

a cup of coffee absorbs cosmic energy.

there are various cafes in huawei’s campuses across the country.

here,

you might bump into company executives,

being interviewed;

you may see foreign faces,

are sharing their views in fluent chinese;

you may also find a group of young people deducing formulas on a whiteboard,

there was a heated debate because of different opinions.

even in recent years,

the company has encountered unprecedented challenges,

we still built many campus libraries and cafes,

still maintaining employee motivation,

investment in honorary recognition, prosperous park, etc.

we firmly believe that

the main value creation of technology companies is innovation.

the source of innovation comes from the vitality and creativity of employees.

the future cannot be saved;

it is created by continuous investment and hard work.

lively discussion,

the collision of thinking sparks,

often a source of inspiration,

the starting point of the climb.

nowadays, we are on many university campuses or near colleges and universities,

the "huang danian tea and thought house" was established. we encourage employees to get out of the office,

with university professors,

researchers drink coffee together,

let’s talk about thoughts,

let’s discuss the direction and future of the industry together,

even the technical problems faced by the whole society.

we encourage every employee to read more, be good at thinking, and be able to argue.

obtain the power of wisdom from the long and splendid human civilization,

find breakthrough directions from the excellent practices of others and the industry,

open the ceiling of thinking,

this is the opening of the "point";

we encourage every employee to drink more coffee and exchange ideas with internal and external experts.

borrow stones from other mountains to absorb the energy of the universe,

this is the opening of the “face”;

we publish advanced papers and technical problems publicly on the internet,

welcome the industry and society to work together to promote,

inspire each other and compete to solve problems,

let the power of innovation surge forward,

this is the opening of the "field".

we strive to create from "point" to "face",

then to the opening of the "field",

promote the progress of the entire industry,

let’s work together to solve the technical problems faced by the entire society.

2019,

a doctoral student joined huawei after graduation.

his research direction is "brain-like intelligence".

this is an emerging interdisciplinary subject.

starting from 2020,

he often drinks coffee and talks about technology with university teachers and students at the tea house.

we also discuss academic issues and joint research with experts from different departments,

we even brought in market personnel and potential customers.

promote and jointly create cutting-edge technologies.

more than a year,

he drank more than 1,000 cups of coffee at tea house.

his team and product lines have jointly completed more than 20 technological innovations and achievement transformations.

published more than 10 papers.

when facing numerous fruits,

he exclaimed: “the coffee from tea house,

it's all made of sweat and sparkles. "

read thousands of volumes,

can help us enrich theoretical knowledge;

thousands of cups of coffee,

can help us absorb thought energy,

spark innovation.

what the two have in common is

they all require us to have an open mind,

stay curious about the unknown and work hard.

when faced with technological blockade,

huawei “doesn’t have heroes falling from the sky;

only mortals who stand up.”

here we are: with courageous and persistent attempts,

make goals clearer;

with invincible courage,

make the journey more brilliant;

with the blood of a moth flying into the flame,

make dreams more pure.

science is an endless frontier,

from basic theory to commercial application is a long and arduous process.

it will take decades or even hundreds of years of transformation and promotion.

disruptive innovation,

failure is inevitable,

success is accidental.

only by opening the boundaries of thinking,

open organizational boundaries,

open the boundaries of talent,

gathering countless brains to communicate, collide, and inspire each other,

it is possible to stand on the shoulders of giants,

achieve breakthroughs in theory or application,

only then can it be possible to illuminate the development of the entire human society like a beacon.

we think,

whether it is past, present or future,

the basis for survival and development is

"everything is talent,

openness is fundamental."

today’s huawei

as a question maker for industry development,

we must use world-class problems to attract and achieve world-class talents. starting from this year,

we have successively reported the challenges and problems encountered by our own industry,

released to the whole society through the online huangdanian tea thought house platform,

received positive feedback from more than 600 college teachers,

a total of 91 universities participated in the announcement of the list.

in early august this year,

huawei awarded the "spark award" to the winners.

thanks for their significant contributions to industry and science.

maybe a few years later,

all of you here will join us,

solve problems together.

everyone shows off their talents,

a bucket of paste glues together the wisdom of the world.

peter drucker said,

"most people spend their entire lives trying to make up for their disadvantages.

but i don’t know how much energy it takes to improve from incompetence to mediocrity.

far more than what it takes to move from first-rate to great.

excellence can only be achieved by relying on advantages. "

at huawei, we do not require employees

"proficient in everything" and "decathlon",

instead, employees are encouraged to work in areas they truly love and are good at

make consistent efforts.

"single outstanding" talents with problem-solving and problem-solving abilities,

this is what is most needed in the current difficult period.

huawei is such an open platform.

bring a group of people together to do one thing.

more than twenty years ago,

there is a young guy from huawei russian mathematical research institute,

engage in algorithm research.

it can be said that

he was one of the few "genius boys" hired by huawei with high salaries in its early days.

because he was unwilling to leave his hometown of russia,

in order to keep him,

huawei has established a local mathematics research institute in russia.

after he joined huawei,

don't like to interact with people,

i just mess around with the computer and play games all day long.

do some math research occasionally.

over a long period of time,

he seems to be doing nothing,

there are no scientific research results.

but it is such a "weird" genius,

ten years later, the algorithm problem from 2g to 3g was solved.

based on this achievement, huawei also

launched a singleran solution for the european market.

progressively outperform our competitors.

the "weird minority" that ordinary people cannot understand,

maybe he has a talent in some aspect that is difficult for ordinary people to surpass.

"use people's strengths and make full use of their talents",

this is how we employ people.

the protagonist of the second short story,

graduated from tsinghua university with a master's degree in chemistry in 2016.

after he joined huawei,

work in software coding development.

he said, change the track,

it comes from love.

in programming again and again,

see the similarities between writing code and experimenting with chemistry,

both need to be in situations full of uncertainty,

fully consider the variables,

design with the end in mind.

time pays off,

cross-majoring not only did not affect his ability to become a code expert,

his solid chemistry skills further enabled him to

has a unique way of thinking and problem-solving ability.

in fact, huawei has many such cross-professional scientific research talents.

what huawei values ​​​​is their solid accumulation of basic disciplines and innovative ways of thinking about solving problems.

in huawei’s early power supply development team,

there is a key person,

was a dentist.

mr. ren said in an interview at the davos forum,

i don’t understand technology myself,

i don’t understand finance either.

he just carried a bucket of paste,

put good people together,

create a huawei full of talents.

here, wisdom meets listening and openness,

with light: love meets excellence,

there are surprises: dreams meet all-out efforts, and there are miracles.

heroes don’t ask where they come from;

those who create value should be respected.

huawei’s “paste” philosophy,

the core is value creation, value sharing, and sharing.

protect the legitimate interests of every contributor,

form a cluster.

huawei has connected employees from more than 160 countries and regions.

it has also connected thousands of outstanding external talents.

excellence can only be achieved by relying on advantages.

no matter what era we are in,

life requires struggle all the time,

each generation has its own new long march.

we are in a digital world,

computing power has become the basis for scientific and technological progress and economic development.

is changing our production and lifestyle.

but current computing power is far from meeting future needs.

computing power is bound to be one of the focuses of world technology competition.

in the future, there will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of millions of servers.

if all can be scheduled in real time based on an operating system,

it will bring about a huge increase in computing power.

in the computing industry,

china has planned 8 national hub nodes and 10 clusters.

the grand strategy of “counting in the east and counting in the west” and “counting in the east and saving in the west” has been formed.

guizhou is an important part of this.

one of the common missions of our generation,

it is to increase the computing power hundreds or thousands of times.

let computing power bring us a more convenient and smarter world.

you may have heard of the concept of "metaverse".

the metaverse is a virtual world that maps and interacts with the real world.

the realization of the metaverse requires huge computing power.

including cloud computing and edge computing.

looking to the future, the metaverse will undergo breakthrough development in your generation.

use science and technology to promote the development of industry and society,

that's what your generation needs

a new long march of continuous hard work and selfless struggle.
