Founded in 1987 by a former engineer in China’ s People’ s Liberation Army (Ren Zhengfei), Huawei Technologies is the world’ s largest telecoms equipment manufacturer and second only to Apple in smartphones. Its emergence into a multinational with over 175,000 employees all around the world is nothing short of extraordinary. This book delves into the financial workings and systems within Huawei – and the individuals whose craftsmanship and excellence enabled Huawei to expand globally in such impressive terms. Their personal stories tell us about the extraordinary vision, dedication and perserverance required for companies to establish a robust financial system that supports the growth of a world-class company. Huawei’ s goal is not just to have profitable income and healthy cash flow. More important is that operating results are sustainable.
