I have to say that in the capital market, 202 1 closely revolves around Huawei and Lenovo. What used to be the North-South Union of China now tends to be one-sided. What happened in more than 30 years of competition? Is it triggered by the process of market globalization? Or is it caused by the western containment of the East? Or is it caused by the change and invariability of people's thoughts under ideology? In fact, this is not the essence of Huawei's prosperity and Lenovo's stumbling being questioned by Chinese people. Let's throw away the colored glasses and look for the essence of things together.
Let's talk about a movie "Nothing", which is an anti-Japanese war movie. In the film, Shen Guangyao, a patriotic young pilot, was not afraid of danger, driving a fighter plane into an enemy plane and making a heroic sacrifice with the enemy. As an experienced pilot, he had a chance to escape by skydiving, but as a patriotic soldier, he chose to sacrifice himself, causing greater harm to the enemy and not saving his life. On the other hand, in the western world, if you are an American pilot, it is different. They think that the life of the pilot is more important than the value of the plane. At the critical moment, the pilot must save his own life first, and then the national property safety of the aircraft.
From this film, it is not difficult to see western individualism, that is, the thinking logic of individual supremacy, the collectivism of the East, and the self-thinking of collective team supremacy. Both human beings and human society are evolving, and ideology is also evolving from the time axis in the environment. Talking about the essence without history is like a blind man touching an elephant, and it is difficult to understand the whole picture. Historical nihilism is untenable after all. Life living in four-dimensional time and space, if time is simply erased, wisdom will be reduced by one dimension, just as ants understand human beings.
A perfect earth suddenly divides mankind into two camps, East and West. It is by no means accidental, but it is produced in the complex environment of human development.
After entering the Stone Age, human beings created tools, conquered poultry and crops, and gradually formed two lifestyles, namely, farming civilization based on agriculture and nomadic civilization based on herding horses. There is no doubt that the East, which is dominated by China and India, has formed an agricultural society dominated by farming because of its latitude and topography, while the northwest, which has a large latitude and a relatively cold climate, has become a mobile nomadic people, and Europe has become a place squeezed by nomadic people in northern China and northern Europe, eventually becoming the dominant ideology of nomadic people.
Seeing this is actually just a change in lifestyle and a sporadic leap-forward change in thinking mode. But why is time intense? It is sometimes excessive to say that everything is the product of the environment. With the deepening of environmental adaptation, the evolution of the brain has also entered a substantive stage, that is, the division of left and right brain functions after "using it and discarding it".
Westerners gradually strengthen individual heroism, the rational function of the left brain gradually appears, and the perceptual function of the right brain gradually weakens; In the East, especially in the life circle dominated by China culture, the collective thinking of the right brain is gradually strengthened, while the individualistic thinking of the left brain is gradually weakened. Over time, with the change of brain structure and function, there have been some deviations from living habits to ideology. With the transition from a wandering nation to a marine civilization, the west and the east fought hand in hand in the ocean and gradually evolved into today's world.
It stands to reason that the collision between left brain thinking and brain thinking will trigger a full-scale outbreak of whole brain thinking. However, ideologically, human beings have entered a dead end. How can an individual-oriented West afford a collective-oriented East? At the same time, the East will soon catch up after learning the technology after the Western industrial revolution, and it feels that this wave of scientific figures dominated by the West is also the donkey of the West, which is the way it is.
This matter has to start from the late Qing Dynasty. China, closed to the outside world, let the western cannon knock on the pedantic door, and it is inevitable to fall behind behind behind the door, so it is imperative for western learning to spread eastward. Since then, the western world has entered the field of vision of China people, and the sour word "worshiping foreign things and flattering foreign countries" has appeared. Undeniably, western science was manipulated for some time, and the East, especially China, rose at an immeasurable speed on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean.
Having said that, the story about Huawei and Lenovo surfaced.
Huawei is a purely private enterprise founded by Ren. If you look at the wrinkles on Chairman Ren's face, you should know that Huawei is a simple enterprise in China. Huawei's every move is permeated with the philosophy and culture of China people, that is, the culture of Taoism. The most superficial understanding of Taoism can be understood as morality. As a native of China, we should first honor our parents, love our brothers, unite our friends and take good care of our hometown, county and other organizations. The standard is the state of being a man first and then doing things. As soon as I hear that my character is bad, people will walk around, let alone do business, which is even more impossible.
People and companies that grow up in this environment naturally put the country first and the collective first, and take the growth of personal property as an auxiliary goal. There are many such entrepreneurs, including Cao of Fuyao Glass, who can see their national integrity and self-spirit from their public welfare undertakings.
Lenovo originated from Chinese Academy of Sciences, not an enterprise in China market. The high starting point makes the westernized elite of managers deeply influenced by the western world. Whether it's Liu Chuanzhi, the former head, or Yang, the current head, thick glasses and smaller glass circles have finally made western individualism deeply rooted in their hearts. Exquisite egoists are unaccustomed in a society with the left brain as the core.
There is no doubt that even those who support Lenovo are highly educated people with in-depth education and believers in western individualism.
It is not difficult to see some clues from the sky-high salary set by managers. In fact, in their minds, they think this is the most reasonable, this is the market, this is the most standard natural choice. From the essence of the brain, they completely blocked China's brain thinking, but activated the logical thinking of the left brain to the maximum extent, and the brain structure changed irreversibly.
Otherwise, such a big executive is not even as good as the thinking of an ordinary person in China. It is these basic skills and wisdom of "being worthy of virtue, building a big tree and attracting the wind, keeping a low profile", which can be seen from Yang's public statement that Lenovo is a global company and unwilling to admit that it is a national enterprise in China. It can be seen that the completely westernized Lenovo group actually invested in American companies instead of Huawei in the motherland, which fully shows that it has lost its bottom line and principle in the face of money, because it is nationalist and patriotic in the face of interests.
Lenovo executives are not without experts. Lenovo, with deep pockets, thinks that only by looking for a higher backer can it develop better, that is, the United States, the global hegemon, reaped a lot of leeks from the Chinese people and governments at all levels through China descent, and injected international norms through the United States, thus achieving an unshakable giant.
Money comes first, individual comes first, and the western left-brain thinking is the final outcome of Lenovo and the trajectory of this enterprise. It is not surprising that they are indifferent to technology research and development and enter the financial field to engage in microfinance.
Let's take another look. Ren of Huawei and Cao of Fuyao Glass have infiltrated China culture into the bone marrow. The core of China culture is Tao culture, that is, the great ego, that is, the unity of man and nature. Self and self-mapping self-integration. They seem to care less about their income and reputation, but about their responsibilities in the whole society.
An internationalist is first and foremost a nationalist. How can a person who doesn't even love himself dig the spring of love? How can his own people love the world? The so-called great harmony is just a slogan.
At this point, readers and friends may understand why more and more people support Huawei, while Lenovo, a former star company, has been questioned by so many people. On the surface, it is a comparison between the two companies, but in essence it is a contest between two ideologies, two outlooks on life and two brains.
In fact, nothing is right or wrong. Huawei did the right thing in the right space, and Lenovo did the wrong thing in the right space. This is a contest between individual hedonism and collective self-awareness. Huawei has continuously improved the shares and treatment of employees, while Lenovo has continuously improved the treatment of individual executives, and finally let money erode the moral nature.
Finally, the wisdom of China people is the wisdom of Tao, the wisdom of self and the wisdom of taking care of the overall situation. The identity of human destiny put forward by China is the best evidence of our personal wisdom. We think Lenovo and Huawei are both immeasurable forces in China. The battle between dragon and tiger is about winning the feelings of all beings with that breath, that will and that sentence "serving the people". Whoever does it will win, and whoever goes astray and turns back in time will also win.
The essence of the battle between dragon and tiger is the battle between brain and right brain. Whether the left brain wins or the right brain wins, it is not perfect. Only the whole brain thinking is the best framework, and rectification is the essence of our treatment of stubborn diseases.
Only when the western left brain thinking and the eastern brain thinking cooperate can the world have a way out. Suppressing any injustice is the greatest threat to the world. Friendship, peace, win-win cooperation are the wisdom that we human beings need most.
In any case, everyone has a different Lenovo and Huawei in their hearts. I hope that the sons and daughters of China will join hands to get out of the predicament and make the road to China's rejuvenation smooth.
