But this wish was completely shattered when Li Yinan was 45 years old. Because he's in prison.
Since then, he has been the "prince" and successor of Huawei. Because of greed, he became a prisoner and disappeared from public view. Li Yinan's ups and downs, roller coaster-like life, also makes people cry.
Li Yinan, a native of Hunan, was born in 1970. 15 years old, admitted to Huazhong University of Science and Technology (formerly known as Huazhong University of Science and Technology) and became a talented person in the first juvenile class.
199 1, studying for graduate school, 2 1 has entered the office, and is regarded as a technician of C & C08 switch, with emphasis on training.
1993, 23-year-old Li Yinan joined Huawei. With superb technical ability, he became a senior engineer in only two weeks.
1995, was promoted again and became the chief engineer of Huawei.
From 65438 to 0997, 27-year-old Li Yinan became the youngest vice president of Huawei. It only takes four years to go from ordinary employees to vice president of Huawei, which is a rapid promotion, and few people in China can do it.
As a wolf culture, Huawei has a strong performance ability in Li Yinan. During the seven years from 1993 to 2000, the switch products developed by Li Yinan directly increased Huawei's sales from the initial1400,000 yuan to more than 20 billion yuan.
As the vice president of Huawei, he also manages the Huawei 1 billion product line, and his decision directly determines Huawei's life and death.
Li Yinan was very successful when he was a teenager. He had a clever mind, but he was also very grumpy. When he is angry, he doesn't give anyone face, and his popularity in Huawei is very poor.
However, Ren Zheng Fei cherished Li Yinan very much and personally trained him. When Li Yinan doesn't do well, he scolds him, kicks him when he should, and never shows mercy.
The relationship between the two is like father and son, and they are also recognized successors of Huawei, and they are also called "Prince Ye" of Huawei by the public.
From 15 to 27 years old, Huawei's vice president, Li Yinan's 12 years can be described as smooth sailing and a winner in life.
In 2000, there was a conflict with Ren, and there were two big fights in the company. Considering that the department is saturated, Ren will be transferred to the marketing department for exercise at the grassroots level.
But this made Li Yinan think that the purpose of Zheng Fei was to restrain his power. Li Yinan was very angry and resigned from his post. Huawei's successor left Huawei, which was a great blow to his post.
However, Ren agreed with the young people's decision, and rarely invited all the senior managers above the director to hold a luxurious farewell banquet in the hotel in Shenzhen, and told him that Huawei's door will always be open for you.
At this time, 30-year-old Li Yinan was bent on doing something. With a dividend of 6,543.8+0 million yuan, the company established Harbour Network all the way north, and gradually poached more than 654.38+0,000 Huawei backbones at a high price.
Violated the gentleman's agreement with Ren. Before he left, he promised a contract agreement and could not compete with Huawei. He directly used the technology in his hand to start a broadband IP product independently developed.
In less than a few years, because of making money quickly, Harbor has quickly become a company with a value of 1 100 million yuan, with a market share of 7%-8%, while Huawei has only 10%- 15%, becoming Huawei's biggest competitor.
At the end of 2003, it directly acquired Huawei's founder Huang, and plans to go public.
Once the listing is successful, Harbor will become the China version of Cisco, and it can directly compete with Huawei for the most profitable transmission business.
In 2004, Li Yinan's harbor products were at least half a year ahead of Huawei. His behavior completely broke Ren's heart and angered his former boss.
The defection made Ren very angry. Ren hit the table at the EMT meeting and flew into a rage: "Hey, the Red Army and the Gongsi Army also joined forces successfully!" "
Angry, Ren Dawei started the "Run Hong Kong" plan, and dealt with a man as he deals with you. The technical talents who were poached with high salaries started a price war.
Huawei, with deep pockets, sells Huawei products at a lower price than Gangwan, taking away all small projects, and stopping all customers and projects in Gangwan.
Under the pressure of Huawei, Harbor's sales dropped sharply. In order to prevent Harbor from listing in the United States, Huawei sued Li Yinan for falsifying the report data of its listing plan in the United States.
In the end, I defeated Ren. In 2006, Huawei acquired Harbor for 654.38+0.7 billion yuan, becoming the winner of the market.
The conditions for Zheng Fei to acquire Harbor clearly stipulate that Li Yinan must return to Huawei for two years as the chief telecom scientist and vice president of Huawei Terminal.
Li Yinan, who is no longer Huawei's successor, looks good on the surface and is an executive, but in fact he has no real power. All employees in his office can go, which has become a typical example of Huawei's "defected employees".
Surprisingly, in those two years, Li Yinan's temperament has changed a lot. He is very kind to everyone. In 2 008, when Huawei's contract expired, 38-year-old Li Yinan fled Huawei again.
After leaving Huawei, Li Yinan jumped ship twice in a row. 10 once served as the youngest CTO of Baidu, and 1 resigned after many years. 20 10 was appointed as CEO of China Mobile Radio. 1 After working for half a year, I resigned.
Li Yinan believes in all his skills. He is not satisfied to be an executive of a company, but he doesn't want to fail in starting a business. What he longs for is entrepreneurial success.
20 14 joined jinshajiang venture capital as a partner. It invested 3 million yuan and earned nearly 10 billion, which attracted the attention of relevant departments.
This is the best time of Li Yinan's life. After he tasted the sweetness of making quick money, he began to be opportunistic, which inspired him to start his own business again.
20 15, founded Beijing Niudian Technology Co., Ltd., also affectionately known as Niudian Technology.
Shortly after the establishment of Niu Technology, Li Yinan, with his aura of past technical genius and amazing resume, got the fancy of investment companies such as GGV and Sequoia in a short time, invested 50 million US dollars in Niu Technology, and realized the A round of financing.
In JD.COM, Li Yinan launched a crowdfunding campaign again. I didn't expect everyone to be so optimistic about him, and it broke through 30 million in less than 6 hours. In Li Yinan, the first crowdfunding campaign was supported by 70 million yuan, a record that has never been broken.
Seeing that the general trend was so good, Li Yinan's fate took a turn for the worse in two days. 2065438+On June 3rd, 2005, Li Yinan was taken away by the police as soon as he got off the plane, and was jailed.
Reason for Arrest During his tenure at Jinshajiang Venture Capital, Li Yinan was not short of money. For the benefit of himself and his family, he embezzled 7 million yuan through insider trading and was sentenced to two years and six months in prison and fined 7.5 million yuan.
Since then, there has been no news from Li Yinan.
Today, Li Yinan, 5 1 year-old, has been released from prison and joined the electric vehicle industry. It remains to be seen whether he can lay a solid foundation in the emerging field of new energy vehicles.
Li Yinan can be said to be a technical genius. He succeeded when he was young. It's really a pity that his good cards were smashed by himself.
