CTOnews.com, September 19, Xinhua, Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei and ICPC (International programming Competition for College students) Foundation and coaches and gold medal winners of the students' conversation summary, Ren Zhengfei said that the unknown is called science, in today's world, the boundary between science and technology is getting closer and closer, and the time for science to be transformed into technology is getting shorter and shorter. If you wait until the university has fully understood the theory before carrying out technological development. There is no first-mover advantage or competitiveness, so Huawei spends about $3 billion to $5 billion a year on basic theoretical research, working with universities on seemingly useless science.

Ren Zhengfei said: we are about to enter the fourth industrial revolution, and the foundation is big arithmetic. The fourth industrial revolution is magnificent, and its scale is unimaginable. Today's young people are the leaders of the future era of big computing. Within 20 or 30 years, the revolution in artificial intelligence will certainly see young people shining stars.

Ren Zhengfei, founder of Huawei, said that Huawei has always adhered to the principle of opening up and embracing global talent, and is willing to work with academia to train talents in the information field. Huawei hopes to promote the development of the global information industry and the training of talents in the information field in various countries by sponsoring competitions and organizing exchange activities.

Ren Zhengfei stressed that in addition to ICPC competitions, Huawei is also willing to sponsor competitions in other disciplines to promote the training of talents in basic sciences. Huawei welcomes ICPC to hold a competition in the Huawei park and will open the R & D area to young people to experience Huawei's working environment. At the same time, Huawei is willing to open up technical problems and internships to outstanding young people around the world to help them gain access to Huawei's cutting-edge technology, so as to promote their growth and development.

CTOnews.com attached the full text of this conversation:

I would like to thank the chairman of the ICPC Foundation and more than a dozen coaches for bringing 58 gold medalists in the world computer competitions to our company for inspection and competition. We will continue to support your global activities, and hope that through you, global college students in mathematics, physics, biology. When the competition is introduced, we also give sponsorship and support.

First, we are about to enter the fourth industrial revolution, which is based on big arithmetic. Today's young people may be the leaders of the fourth industrial revolution tomorrow. The purpose of our support competition is to build a stage for young people to bloom the spark of life.

Teamwork is not only the basis for winning the competition, but also the basis for survival, but also the need for more prosperity of human beings. We need to work closely with each other, and we will gather together, stimulate and squeeze each other, and new science and technology will break out. This time, elites from 25 countries gathered together, and once we got to know each other, we had a platform for common exchanges. Coaches and students, students and students, teams and teams can inspire each other, which may leave a spark and sparks. Young people bring the spark back to their homeland to ignite the fire in their own country. New science and technology will certainly create more social wealth, eradicate poverty, improve human life and take the road of common prosperity.

The fourth Industrial Revolution was magnificent and its scale was unimaginable. Today's young people are the leaders of the future era of great computing, and human society has great expectations of you. The revolution in artificial intelligence within 20 or 30 years will certainly see your stars shine.

Second, Huawei has always adhered to the principle of discovering and developing talents, but never monopolizing talents. Persist in opening up and embrace talents from all over the world.

The development of the world is inseparable from the progress of technology and the exchange of talents. Faster speed and better talents are the foundation of national prosperity. Huawei is willing to work with academia to train talents in the field of information, but it does not monopolize talents. After training, learning and growing up in Huawei, these talents will return to their motherland in the future, which will also be conducive to the revitalization of the information industry in various countries.

Third, for competitions, we will support development steadily for a long time and sponsor organizations of global and regional competitions. Huawei is willing to sponsor ICPC coaches and contestants to come to China for exchanges. Huawei does not fund the competition for Huawei's purpose. We should not only insist, but also increase the sponsorship of such activities.

Support the holding of the future ICPC Global Games in China, and invite outstanding players and coaches to come to China to walk around and see more. Such as Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guizhou. You can also go to Xinjiang, Xizang and other border provinces to feel it, and some small counties are also very beautiful, which are worth visiting to learn about China's industrial development and urban construction; sit on high-speed rail to experience the speed of China's development; drink coffee and eat barbecue. Feel the Chinese food and cultural atmosphere.

In addition to supporting or co-hosting global software competitions, we should also support competitions in other disciplines, such as information, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, neural networks. Young people in these disciplines gradually began to support and stimulate their interest in scientific research, so as to promote the training of talents in the basic sciences.

Fourth, we will open up parks around the world to support the competition held by ICPC in the Huawei Park. at the same time, we will also open the R & D area to invite young talents to experience the working environment of Huawei.

Huawei is willing to open up technical problems, internships and research opportunities in the field of information to outstanding young people around the world, to help get in touch with Huawei's end-to-end cloud platform, and to participate in the basic and cutting-edge exploration of climbing Mount Everest. It can also be done through a variety of channels, such as organizing challenge competitions, opening seminars of Huang Danian Tea House, and so on, so that young people can understand the realistic challenges of the industry and win awards in making breakthroughs. In this way, time for work-study is saved for better study, and through this process, young people can grow up better.

On-site question and answer session: Russian ICPC Coach: I have been the coach of the ICPC champion team for 10 years. Many companies support talent development, but they may be reluctant to support large-scale competitions such as ICPC because they are not directly related to the business. Everything has changed a lot since Huawei set up a local resource center to support the competition. I found that Huawei is not only to recruit talent, but also to help the local community to develop talent. We have received strong support from the competition department, and 25 people from my championship team have joined various departments of Huawei. I would like to ask, why does Huawei feel that supporting the competition is so important to business development, or something that must be done?

Ren Zhengfei: Russia is a great country. Yekaterina introduced Western painting, music and philosophy. At the same time, China's Qing Dynasty followed the road of seclusion, so Russia achieved industrialization earlier than China. On this basis, the basic theory research has been valued by the former Soviet Union, and has made great achievements, such as Rukovsky, Mendeleev, Lomonosov, Popov. Recently, for example, Peter Ufeimchev, a scientist in the former Soviet Union in the 1960s, first discovered that the diamond section has the function of radio reflection, but the former Soviet Union studied it for a long time and found it useless. why? Because it was impossible and meaningless, the mathematicians' papers were approved for public publication. But after watching it, the Americans took 20 years to build the F22 stealth plane.

Although Huawei is a commercial company, it is not a mercenary company. For example, we are sincere in funding the competition, not to obtain talents, and we will also increase the sponsorship of competition activities in the future. Having coffee with Chairman Bill just now, we said that we hope to transfer information, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, neural networks through you. The competition can be brought to China. It has nothing to do with us. We can all support it. As Chairman Bill said, science and technology should be used to create more social wealth, eradicate poverty and take the road of common prosperity.

Sun Teck (Associate Professor of the National University of Singapore, member of IOI, Chairman of Singapore Information Olympiad and former ICPC team coach): first of all, I would like to thank Huawei for supporting us in training our students and participating in the competition. Secondly, I would like to introduce the other two competition organizations: one is IOI (International Informatics Olympiad), which is a downstream partner of ICPC, mainly to discover and train talents. IOI has encountered some problems. More than 90 countries have joined, but many countries, such as Cambodia, Laos, Brunei and Myanmar, have not joined. These countries need our support, which is consistent with Huawei's vision of spreading information technology and connecting the world. Countries that have joined the IOI also face some problems, such as not having enough resources to train students and thus rarely win awards, so they do not have the opportunity to participate in the ICPC. I hope Huawei can help the development of IOI. The other is EGOI (European Girls' Informatics Olympiad), which is specially for women, which is a good trend. Today, there is only one girl out of 58, accounting for less than 2%. I hope Huawei will support it on how to achieve gender balance in the competition.

Ren Zhengfei: when Singapore was founded, Lee Kuan Yew laid down two most important policies: first, he determined that the national language was English, which connected a very large world; the other language was Chinese, which was precisely Mandarin and simplified characters, thus connecting the two great worlds. Today, when we have a computer competition, we should unify the language of the computer, unify the standards of the era of big computing, and remove the obstacles and barriers between us through our coffee and communication.

This time we have connected the 25 countries we participated in. A single spark can start a prairie fire and ignite a fire in your country. Coaches and young people are welcome to come to China at any time. You have added the communication methods of many of our colleagues and friends to maintain communication and contact. Today, you young people are our permanent partners. In addition to ICPC, we should also support IOI, as well as competitions in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, neural networks and other disciplines to promote the training of talents in basic sciences.

Meza (Professor of computer Science and Director of ICPC Latin America, Santa Maria University of Technology, Chile): I am very proud because a Latin American player has won this championship, and of course we have a lot of outstanding students. Perhaps because of the relevant restrictions in the Americas, Huawei does not have many job opportunities in Latin America. Does Huawei welcome Latin American talents to intern, for example, will there be some systematic support for coming to China?

Ren Zhengfei: we welcome outstanding talents from Latin America and other countries to Huawei. We have an online platform called "Huang Danian Tea House", where students can contact relevant experts. If the experts think you should come to China for an internship face-to-face, it is OK. To take a simple example, who invented the 5G that the United States has made great efforts to combat? Who invented the Polar code? He's Professor Arikan from Turkey. He published a mathematical paper more than a decade ago, and two weeks after it was published, we discovered it, organized thousands of scientists and experts to analyze and engineer it, and made 5G, which leads the world today. So, there are plenty of fish in the sea. There are good people everywhere, of course, most likely in the United States. No one knows where genius comes from. Welcome to communicate with our experts on the Internet.

Professor of Peking University and Director of ICPC East Asia Regional Competition: American companies have been sponsoring for the past decade, but we are very proud that Huawei began to sponsor global events a few years ago, and finally Chinese companies were able to come forward to sponsor global educational activities. I would like to ask what are your expectations for higher education?

Ren Zhengfei: not only should we continue to fund activities, but I think the funding is not enough and we should continue to strengthen it.

Higher education should teach students in accordance with their aptitude and should not always emphasize unified teaching materials. I think the slogan "do not lose at the starting line" in primary and secondary education is incorrect and outstanding students should not be allowed to run. Education in China must be revitalized. In recent years, Huawei has formed an R & D team of more than 7000 foreign scientists and experts with high noses, more than 13800 foreign students, most of whom are PhDs, plus more than 100,000 of our outstanding Chinese students. To reverse the difficulties. If the United States closes some disciplines in the future and does not allow Chinese students to study abroad, then we can only obtain talents from Chinese universities, which cannot be homogenized.

French contestant: there is a kind of scientific research called useless research. To say that it is useless is that we do not know where it will be applied in the short term. This kind of research may be mainly done by universities rather than companies, but in fact, this kind of research is very important in the long run. What does Huawei think of this kind of useless research? Will Huawei invest in this kind of research?

Ren Zhengfei: what is science? The unknown is called science. Now we all know that the United States has a relatively high degree of liberalization in scientific research. Before World War II, the basic research of the United States was very weak, basically relying on European theories to support its industry, aviation and aerospace. Like China's dependence on the West today, there are a large number of theorems, formulas, inventions. All from Europe. After the end of World War II, the United States found itself running behind Europe because it had little accumulation of basic theories. Van Neval Bush, an American scientist, wrote a book called Science: endless Frontiers, which proposed that the United States should study things that seem useless and far away, that is, it has studied a lot of "useless" science. Basic science in the United States has flourished since World War II. After the 1990s, Stokes, a professor at Princeton University in the United States, wrote a book, basic Science and technological Innovation: the Pasteur Quadrant, about how to apply the exploration of traction science to make "useless" science useful. In this digital age, the United States dominates the world, and we are on board the digital train of the times to develop.

In today's era, the boundary between science and technology is getting closer and closer, and the time for science to be transformed into technology is getting shorter and shorter. if we wait for universities to fully understand the theory and then carry out technological development, there will be no first-mover advantage and no competitiveness. Therefore, we have begun to attach importance to basic theoretical research, spending about $3 billion to $5 billion a year on basic theoretical research. Together with universities, we study these seemingly useless sciences side by side and embedded with each other.

Brazilian: Huawei has encountered a lot of difficulties in recent years because of US sanctions. I would like to know how Huawei has responded and whether it is ready for sustainable development in the international market. And whether to restore relations with the United States, or whether relations with the United States can continue to develop without the restoration of relations with the United States?

Ren Zhengfei: us sanctions are indeed pressure for us, but pressure is also a driving force. Before the crackdown, we built the basic platform in the United States. After the US crackdown, we were forced to switch the platform to another platform, which was difficult. After these four years of hard work and the hard work of 200000 employees, we have basically established our own platform, and the future platform and the United States may not necessarily run on the same basis, but connectivity is certain.

Bangladesh player: do the ICPC contestants have a chance to join Huawei this time? What are the future career development opportunities?

Ren Zhengfei: our competition is completely academic and has nothing to do with joining Huawei. If you are willing to join Huawei, you can apply to our local human resources department. We welcome talents from all over the world to join Huawei. Bangladesh, with a population of nearly 200 million, has been judged by the West to be the next emerging industrial country. Now Bangladesh has excellent talents like you, which will slowly lead the country to a faster development. But what is the basis for faster development? It's speed. I hope you can take the lead in bringing what you have learned back to Bangladesh and raising the country's development to a new speed.

ICPC Mexico & Central America Regional Director: some technology companies such as Oracle and Cisco have set up R & D centers in Mexico. I would like to ask whether Huawei has any plans to set up R & D facilities in Mexico or Latin America in the future?

Ren Zhengfei: for the layout of overseas R & D, you need to ask the director of our 2012 laboratory and we will take your opinion back. Mexico has a splendid civilization, and the Mayan culture has not been fully understood by modern people. Mexican civilization originated very early, and we believe that this kind of civilization will exist all over the world. We may also consider it there, but it still depends on the specific deployment of the 2012 lab. In the past, our deployment was centered on the United States and distributed all over the world. Later, when the United States attacked us, we took Europe as the center, gradually focused on Eurasia, and went less to Latin America. Latin America is also regulated by the United States, and we need to further assess the situation of regulation.

Russian contestant: Huawei has so many people, what kind of management can achieve efficient operation?

Ren Zhengfei: at the beginning of the company, I visited the United States and took IBM as the main body to understand their management. First, the enterprise goal management of IBM is to serve customers, and everything should be customer-centered, so that the enterprise has an overall sense of direction, which brings employees together. Second, learn from IBM to promote IPD, which is how to join the market and service representatives in R & D. IPD is a forward-looking leading organization to guide R & D forward. Then learn IFS, ISC Finance and supply chain Management from IBM. In this way, the process system is clear. The most important thing is the problem of distribution. We will study where Huawei's wealth is and how it is distributed. We think that wealth is in the head of employees, and we will give you how much it weighs when you weigh it. Our way of distribution is divided into three parts of labor and one part of capital.

Icelandic player: I don't know if it's true. I heard earlier that you are a fruit fan.

Ren Zhengfei: because my daughter is studying in the United States, if she doesn't use apples, it will be very inconvenient for her to take classes. Let's not be exclusive, we often explore why Apple's products are good, and we can see the gap between us and Apple. Have a teacher is very happy, can have the opportunity to learn, have the opportunity to make a comparison. If I am a fruit fan from these angles, it is not too much.
