Last week, I submitted a formal resignation report, prepared to his career a big turning point, thinking this is my last time made a decision. but really made after the departure of recall in the company's ten years, or mixed feelings.
1997 年 16 July day, I alone carrying a bag from the Shenzhen Baoan International Airport the plane out of the airport, the sky is so blue, clouds so low, the air then flows, looking upward toward heaven, to the city, the company, the work to be carried out and life , a loss of their future. to the Science Park and found a desolate and remote areas, but would really quiet, school years, a series of strikes, so I seem a bit like the quiet, desolate feeling away from home . Now that I think, after a decade of work, his mind is really numb it. then the heart, as if what is not always something landed in the agitation, but can not tell, only listening to Dvorak building clean, handsome Henjiang security and reception, full of energy and out of the staff, people's mood lifted. like flies did not like the mess left after a while, a Sister of human resources, very professional, enthusiastic, patient told me how to apply for entry clearance, and arranged for me to the door that night in Guangdong Huawei temporary residence home, and arrange the quarters after the matter in a foreign land unaccompanied people feel warm, still remember .
to Shenzhen, to Huawei was indeed an opportunity, fame does not ring for the 96 Years, especially in the industries, the students home once in a while I see a Huawei reported that there are a few slices of the article the impression has deep: one is written CHOW King Sze experience of the European study, about 20-30 people in Europe a small company, which has the kind of global operational strategy, capacity and tolerance. one written by the Tang was named Dongfeng by the recognition of outstanding staff thoughts after. there a name of the first great I am scared of a hit and was down. I think a year of Tsinghua University was also more than 100 million research funding point of what is backing the company, spent more than scientific research than Tsinghua? interest was there.
to graduate when repeatedly frustrated, most of the students find a job with the current year, hope to stay in Beijing, but the row was Lenovo, Founder, Kehai, satellite communication and other famous company was then told to pay admission to tens of thousands of dollars to solve the problem account, the thought of Huawei, a company that was there, sent a resume to Human Resources. just a few days, a telephone in Shenzhen, said that one day a certain period there is a vice president to Beijing, here for an interview. try holding the attitude run later, the company is the former vice president Hu Hongwei, he basically did not ask me any questions, to be presented about the case of Huawei, and then human resources manager Tianjing Qi called over, the spot gave me an undergraduate students worked in Huawei, in consultation he learned to real company or some only under the commitment to come. In general, is to be a Huawei News
to just muddle their way to Huawei, the beginning of a new employee training, strict discipline, rigorous, shuttle will not wait half a minute, followed by departmental training, large amounts of information rushing. then to the job, give me assigned work is ERP system administrators and DBA, although previously been engaged in large systems, such as part-time did the Indian banking software to customers of large-scale development, but to see our ALPHA 8200 and our software, ORACLE, heart or excited. IT's rapid advances in technology and 10 years ago than today, many people may not understand the. then backward, many people have no access to this system was very advanced. I see we actually have 2G huge memory of the book book.
the company was just not long on-line ERP, business is being implemented, the system unstable, half day program is to run concurrent wrong, the system will frequently CRASH. I read a book after Just a One Book Man, the problem came alone, with the introduction of an important process sometimes run out of tt, and sometimes do not run out. tell the truth, then on the ERP, ORALCE, almost all the operating system or a loss and the problem has been passed over, and had to bite the bullet and, groping for ages, finally came to understand a number of data in the down time, the system standard error. tens of thousands of pieces of data, a bar examination is not possible, I wanted to out of the use of dichotomy, groups of tests, completely hand movements, awkward, time-consuming, laborious, done dozens of times, spent a whole day have missed lunch, and finally to one of the positioning data, and then find the data long enough length of the database and check the definition of procedures did not check out BUG. After they return to repeat the verification to prove that reason is found correct. it was really heart was overjoyed, almost completely understand the system, do not understand this procedure What is, and do not understand the logic of procedures, the design of the database do not understand the case, out of this positioning and return to the BUG ORACLE addressed. This is what I go to work to solve the first problem, so far I have this problem itself does not understand, hehe. It made me understand a truth, work and school not the same thing, work is to solve the problem, is to produce results and output. Anyway, to find a way to solve the problem, to good output that is successful. reading only the pursuit of the slowly read, and read so far.
the system was really Jiji and can be dangerous, the rapid development of the company's business, the business has been implemented, the system load higher and higher, but the system is not always down, that is run as slow as an old ox. Our technology and management level, but also with the present is quite different. the level of compensation not physical, we work diligently to bear responsibility, break through all the difficulties, he finally pulled through. Now that I think, really is a bit scared of the slightest mistake might really across the board crash. I can understand that some large enterprises, why back up so fast. modern organization, are often highly complex organizations, like living things, the lowly earthworm broken into two sections, still survive. The higher the person, who poked a small hole may be killed. highly complex organizations, like the human body, like, the internal tiny If a critical piece of the local problem, the organization may collapse. to ensure that no collapse of the only two: 1) the organization of the design and process design of high scientific, redundancy, and sufficient institutional response mechanisms, it is the strengths of the West their company does not fall a hundred years experience, there is a strong internal factors .2) rely on the smallest unit of organization of each of the high degree of responsibility for vigilance. Although we have been emphasizing the ability of the first, but we natural soil and the lack of such genes, so the second ability to become very important, although this is not the best way.
first two years of work, we have very low levels, a lot of manual labor, there is a period of time, I have a high degree of tension at work staring at the system, constantly interfere with the system to run down. while the system process is dead, while more than to kill the idle process, while not enough table space to expand, while the user submits an unreasonable concurrent program to stop ... for a while, I was hot and on-site support, day after 50-80 the phone, answered the phone around. then we do a lot of improvements, upgrading the system hardware, write the automatic script, set up a special hotline so, during which I gradually learned a truth, a large complex system to manage a successful, no trick, only bit by bit, relying on continuous improvement and efforts.
There was a time As the pressure is too large, but also that my spirits high tension, to the point where a relatively nervous, for some time, on hearing the CALL machine sound, and even TV commercials in the I could not help speed up the heart beat, dry throat. One time trip to Hong Kong, starting from the beginning has been uneasy, for fear of system problems, the results arrived in Hong Kong moved into the hotel, a call came, said the system crashed . I immediately rushed to make international long distance Jiaozhao t to deal with, and after a few minutes, call back in despair, said Zhao, who arrived at the fastest speed of a building, the elevator had just walked into the half, clicks a power cut, the elevator stuck in the middle of half an hour, a double whammy, when feeling was, , enlighten me many times, I gradually eased, and then slowly began to understand what is general demeanor. do we have this line, to be treading on thin ice, but also the spirit of a little grace under pressure. job strain, but the mood to avoid unnecessary tension. Later, our ERP system, IT data center, and there have been many dangerous situations, swamp water, the fire, and we can finally saved the day.
work is not only difficult and cumbersome, sometimes, fun is not on the region. at the time the database is always the ORA-1555 error seriously affected the operation of the system, I work many days, a hundred can not comprehend. now the administrator may want to, this is not a small problem with, but not when the network is now so advanced, what a GOOGLE are out, I found a lot of information, thinking very hard, and finally a eureka moment, like a treasure map fight as spelled out strict interpretation and logical solution I remember late at night, wonderful feeling inside smiling, do not need people to know, do not need others to understand, out of the main door, looking at the stars, take a deep breath, smiling inside. There is another time when We passed more than 30 hours of continuous operations, solve problems, and finally the smooth success of ERP system upgrade, the kind of feeling like a conquering general, full of the joy of victory. remember that it is just talking about the girl, wrote her the first letter is the only love letter, a wife, she once said to me, that thing you call Shaya, it can be called a love letter it? throughout the text are telling you how to work, like work reports as you can simply write with the Lu Xun Xu Guangping of no. That was the beginning of Huawei to open up overseas markets, overseas also does not have any corporate network, everything is by EMAIL and international long distance, Sky fall down in general, our market with the competent international reporting Xu Zhijun, the last report to the boss referrals should report *, because there was very much like a DDOS attack symptoms. The system stops the whole seven days, we invited various experts, research day and night, try the N option, all the same as flood control, a Tale . Finally really found a Trojan horse, a letter e-mail, connect, and then interrupted, unable to do anything close to collapse. I carried my dead horse mentality of a living horse medicine, and reposition itself in my air mail, to succeed; tested a large e-mail, failure; whichever is the middle value, and failed; then take the middle value, success; then take the median of two previous successful ..... until late at night, try N-times, and finally summed up the law! then a verification, as long as a certain size where it is larger than all can not receive. important discovery! then use PING bag, found in more than fourteen hundred bytes place, then a large barrier to PING, the phenomenon can be repeated. go to theory, if understood according to the agreement, which also can not ah, even if the transfer smaller MTU, MTU should be large package than automatic film ah? unless the MTU in transfer to a smaller place, but the agreement have an exception. find the law, the Abel immediately with the telecommunications links, and sure enough a week ago to adjust the router MTU Telecom and CISCO router has BUG cause. The problem will be solved, when the breath the kind of comfortable ah! ... not undergone the test of a similar limit may not be easy to understand that happiness! bring this pleasure is the job itself, and do not need others to recognize, do not even need anyone to know. to have the opportunity This can be hard to feel happy man, how could not love the work?
work is certainly not the only success and honor, sometimes I do a lot of stupid things and stupid, or being cheated because naive, or because recklessly cause errors in the work. There was a time, ERP system at risk, the system capacity to collapse. I have repeatedly speak out, almost every opportunity to see the CIO Kwok is yelling something. Kwok was just arrived in our department, at the beginning how can this person think I like this? in a sector plenary meeting, Kwok criticized in my hands, to wait for it to die? I was blind, as always, show off, but also improved a bit, took out the program. Kwok approved more than 500 million spent to improve the system, this gives us 1-2 In the little Pacific time, so have the opportunity to do more to improve optimization. then more than 500 million with the concept can be very different now, now more than 500 million IT spend is a side dish, when the astronomical figure of more than 500 million, but ah ! was quite admire the courage Kwok, remember him large sums of money to do the decision-making, often say, is to, Xu Jiajun this man is quite persistent. then my job has been constantly improved. After that I was responsible for many important projects, often involving significant investment, millions, tens of millions, over the years the company spent a total of several million. This intermediate technology program development, there's been fooled. even major project bidding, there are complaints of vicious slander supplier of my business, but fortunately my company and leadership to take this full confidence in the old soil. These My experience is that things: as long as you concentrate on the target alone, they want to do a good job this matter, and continuously, and consequently do not care about, the innocently to promote, inner qualms, and sometimes there may be errors in the work, and sometimes may offending people, some may not understand, but in the long run, or will get a fair recognition.
company's rapid growth and expansion, due to job performance is also decent, and soon was promoted to a small charge, at the beginning to do that executives nothing, I have been clear about the details of the business, not more than a few people that work with it? once, IT second in command Yuan saying how do you manage Yuan total end to sit silent, and others have gone, about face meal, so clearly in such a proper work, management ability is not enough? later, and slowly discovered the problem themselves, and later arranged to participate in sector 4-day closure of the management cadre training, be considered access to the management of ABC, gradually realized that the original management is a science, but also very demanding. With this understanding, then I can always see. In fact, Huawei's managed to learn the most simple, the first tip is to people around me learn a lot of Huawei managers, training and Super capacity, in peacetime and to work with them bit by bit, if you are careful to observe and experience, it can gain a lot. For example, one time, my weekly regular meeting of cadres to participate in IT sector, we spoke about , and the judgments and decisions by the leadership, to do work, I would guess, what leaders might do to judge, what decision would, in particular, something full of contradictions and conflicts, when trade-offs. At first ten guess Nine is not in and came out a lot of people say that view refreshing, very impressed. So why go to such judgments, and his decision-making, what is behind the effort to do, and slowly the idea of his deal with similar issues also more broadened. In addition, people in management mistakes, and also his chance to learn their own mistakes they are not easy to detect, but others feel they can make mistakes, then you can alert yourself to avoid similar mistakes.
later, do the data Center Manager, Technical Support Manager, IT infrastructure manager, associate director of system operations, change by doing, so team management, to do evaluation, process optimization to do to deal with various problems: If the user serious dissatisfaction, job loss as to how many random process, the resources of a serious tension, key employees to leave thorn to mention all the requirements of employees, departments, men of letters between the key light, with the big clash between departments, bottom out, etc., etc., is gradually more and more experience on the management of deeper understanding of the importance management. deal with these problems, it was really great care, and sometimes even painful. but I feel afterwards is severely affected in the sense that all their challenges, suck all day session of pain, often their own capacity and faster progress in the stage of mind, and sometimes all the work had been settle, calm, when you can leisurely tour zai, half in the past, found himself nothing, no contribution, in fact, deep down even more anxiety and pain. I later concluded many elements of the management and discipline, but also summed up the word, called After years of precarious, and finally the meaning of a little calm, in order to Huawei in the winter period, not only face the threat of competitors, is facing more serious internal threat, repeatedly broke the major products, business information disclosure, the company resulted in significant loss of information security situation is very serious, but also triggered the company's highest leadership on the super information security seriously. Information security is a basic work is the work of pure defense, defensive front too long, the defensive strength of the whole system depends on the weakest link, and it can focus its resources on the attacker, as long as the attack The point can be. I went to the Ministry of Information Security, found that our management system, policy system after years of efforts, already has some achievements, and technical capacities are very weak link. Therefore, the focus in this regard to carry out work. a few years, we deploy a lot of protection system, but also trained a group of people, the Ministry of Information Security in the time I left, on the whole has made significant changes should be about.
to the Information Security department period, in fact, my experience is that most cross-sector cooperation, in the original sector, the Information Security is often to I often have to go to leadership, the end user and so on. In the constantly If you always complain when people cooperate with you, the problem must be something in your own body. program to deal with this problem, we envisioned the possibilities, the last quarter of sectoral technology Xin Hua made Daniel a vision: the client software and devices on the network linkage to control the worms up and made a very interesting film, to deal with the means used to deal with SARS worm. I once was attracted by the idea of this novel, and later I discussed many times with you on the basis of the further expansion of the concept, the concept of a strategy to force the system. In order for our vision to into reality, I did not authorize the department in fact the case, secretly engaged in a number of people, spent six months out of the POC system to do. POC system first came out, we heard the CISCO released in 2004 in the SDN / NAC product concept, the idea is very close to us, it gives us great confidence, then I simply volunteered to give up other management services, full-time into the development team has been formed to develop products to SPES. In the end our product development successful, the company's global staff of more than 100 countries, more than 60,000 large-scale promotion are successful, and a good run so far within the company. This thing gave me the greatest inspiration is: We must have faith, to dare, CISCO not terrible. To be honest we are a very Tuba Lu's team, does not belong to the company's R & D system, we this Tuba Lu's team, sat for 2 years back seat, grinding mill ah, ah, really grinding out the final a not bad thing. the end of 2004, out of this stuff in the ground, we began to raise product certification, to organize marketing activities, planning the pricing and sales strategies, to seek multilateral cooperation, building support systems, etc., in our market expansion through the hard , customers have begun the formation of wide interest and has a few single case of actual sales, the company because of policy issues, in order to ensure that resources are put to the company to maximize the work to support the company's largest overseas market development, we really made halt Foreign sales of products, although I understand the company's broad approach, but the decision still makes me very sad, or I believe that today this product is likely to have been even greater development. Not long ago I went to Beijing on business, with a company's products Agents occasionally chat, he did not know I was the main person in charge of SPES, a big blow through our stuff and very sorry Why do not sell, can not help but let me both happy and sad.
blink of an eye for ten years, in Huawei years, Huawei is not professional circles from the name is obvious now to become large companies, the rapid development of the decade, the company has witnessed years of struggle. also join them to learn while in the tide swim come today. Now I want to leave the company, and ready to start a new career, accepting new challenges, I will have to do something risky, most likely near escape, death can not have nine lives, but also hard to say. Before starting a new business, think of the past decade to be a detailed summary. in a rapid development of such as Huawei large enterprises, sometimes a purgatory-like exercise, if I can sum up ten years experiences and lessons learned from critical work, the truth in life, I want to be a great benefit in the future.
the years, some people leave the company, write something or a book, find fault with the company, other up, pointing Jiangshan, one by one the company's senior leadership on the comments about it, I personally feel in addition to bring some entertainment value, what benefits? companies still in development, the development behind the 6 million people in all kinds of dreams, hard work, contributions, sacrifice, struggle, complain , dissatisfaction, precipitation, left, hope, loss; development behind the opportunities, important decisions, risk, errors, and so the internal logic of an outsider made it clear How can it be? I do not want to say that companies just want to work on their own experiences reflect upon yourself and ask yourself what to do, what contribution do, do what they are most happy to do what they are most beneficial to learn what? gotta say, I muddle decade Huawei over, when I seem to no ideals, no detailed plan, just think of a thing to do. through their own review and reflect on the future, I hope I can be more planning, more clearer. < br> probably thought, I think the following is a profound understanding of these years of experience and lessons learned, it is worth re-develop the future.
a This is the last class before graduation, graduate students, teachers electronics give us the last few words, though I forgot the name of the teacher, but a few words are still remembered. Huawei's work in practice, the more experienced This simple truth a few deep. from the little things do not always meet in the little things, not rhetoric ambitious. Society is not a disadvantage to endure a disadvantage, is not preoccupied with right and wrong in one place at one time gains and losses, is the courage to give up critical time.
Second, the , dare to solve, really resolved; as we do SPES, even if no one, no technology, no accumulation, there are CISCO and other large companies are doing, and we dare, dare to implement, do not blindly worship or fear authority, has been successful. Of course, this is not just blindly bold, big heart also means that the majority of positive attention to the external world, wide tolerance to accept all kinds of new things mind.
three, up IT now has a technology, Daniel Tan Bo, actually he is not born, Daniel, also from an outsider by learning to become a super expert, he once told me that, when a UNIX system administrators started doing when I saw a # prompt surprise, because they used many years engaged in the development are under the UNIX% prompt, never had administrator privileges. look at the original expert on this level! then told me to do a backup project, I let him look ORALCE database point in time backup and rollback recovery method, he words too literally, thinking that the database is a human being back to walk back the same, this is a bit of humor, but he up in the morning every day, one-hour look at the book before work accumulated over the years down, and now in the system, database, development, and other fields has become a challenge that no one super expert. However, learning is definitely not the light from book-learning, are even more important is to learn from practical work, to the surrounding learning. For example, Huawei think I learned the most important concept is successful, if not this winter, Huawei biggest names in the industry may be even more years behind; Huawei CISCO prosecution was not in panic, but a positive response, use the indictment to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to the could not meet the visibility results. so that, to the contrary, the situation of almost total destruction of favorable conditions for the successful conversion, left me very impressed, but also very impressed executives.
four and practice, the courage to make mistakes good at reflection. a lot of things easier said than done, the key is to have action, especially in management class some theories, methods, concepts. empty, empty plans that are not useful, not as good as actually doing it out after doing it continuously reflect on improvements, the most convincing real. no repeated practice exercises and reflection, even if everyone knows that things are in fact not easy to do, give a small example, do such managers will listen to, I think Huawei 99.9% of the managers are to understand this, but how to actually do it? Huawei many managers did not interrupt others? do not jump to conclusions to the definition? not anxious to provide a solution? the number of managers to guide each other to achieve a natural expression? ask each other feel? sure they understand each other?
five, there must be method, and a routine, systematic thinking on the issues of a strategic design solutions. the work of previous years , due to get a little success, technology has also been little research to start up and arrogant, and later the company hired a large number of heavily consultants, some consultants really the beginning of the not very cold. In later years more and more companies of scale large, IT increases the complexity of the case more and more, gradually come to understand a lot. Western companies professional experts are party to do anything *, there is routine, and even how to open one will have a lot of routine, then I of interest in the study of these routines, their own routines and summed up a lot of backbone to the department of training and discussion. in a complex environment, many problems can no longer deal only to study and solve a great need for systematic methods and strategies of vision. for the operation of an organization concerned, systems and process design in particular, need this. Einstein said: We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
six, independent thinking, not just parroting. the company big, many people, dawdle too easy. people are very easy to get caught drift, not in-depth business situation, and do not see the problems and dangers. experts had a ...
