Following the viral trend regarding long queues at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to catch taxis, photos of Ren Zhengfei, the 72-year-old president of Huawei, taken in the company cafeteria were shared again today, sparking further discussions among netizens about his simple lifestyle. The photos show Ren Zhengfei, dressed simply, first standing in line with his arms crossed just like any other employee. He then ordered a meal of four dishes and one soup; the meal, which was green in color, was eaten while he chatted and laughed with everyone else.
Still, without making a distinction, blend in with the masses.
Look at the quality of the food – with Huawei’s large scale, the canteens for its R&D teams made up of highly educated professionals must be different from those for the factory workers on the production lines. Huawei’s R&D canteen* – it’s a great place to have a meal; going there doesn’t mean losing any status. The food produced in large quantities might not be of quite such high quality, though
The cafeteria is the place where everyday life is most evident, and it’s also where leaders can hear the most feedback from the front lines; it’s better not to divide it up: lol
In some companies, the canteens are separate, which facilitates communication among managers
Considering the quality of the food and its cost, it’s likely that the canteens for Huawei’s R&D staff and factory workers are not located in the same place. Given Huawei’s ability to generate wealth, the standard of food provided for R&D employees is such that it won’t suffer in quality regardless of who eats it. The cafeteria in a factory setting probably won’t do; quality is linked to income
It is unwise to go our separate ways; the mass line is a treasure, and we must not be separated from the masses. It’s fine if guests come and go to the private room occasionally.
We are separated; many times, the management discusses work matters while having meals
