Huawei Headquarter

This guide to Huawei Headquarters in Shenzhen starts in 1987 with Ren Zhengfei, a former army engineer who had just lost a small fortune, watched his marriage end, and moved into a cramped apartment, before gathering a few partners to resell telephone switches on consignment. You'll hear how he borrowed at high interest to keep the venture alive and reportedly ate alongside his engineers inside the factory, betting that China's telephone networks were about to take off. The guide follows that gamble to the 1998 groundbreaking of the sprawling Bantian campus you're standing on today. Picture the small apartment where it all began, long since gone.
