In September 1991, Huawei rented the third floor of the Haoye Village Industrial Building in Bao'an County, Shenzhen, to set up a facility for developing programmable exchange switches. More than 50 young employees followed Ren Zhengfei to this dilapidated factory building, embarking on their challenging and uncertain entrepreneurial journey. They divided the entire floor into four main work sections—single-board assembly, power supply, comprehensive testing, and preparation—along with additional spaces for storage and a kitchen. Amidst the scorching heat of the machinery, workers labored tirelessly around the clock, meticulously designing and manufacturing circuit boards, assembling call terminals, soldering components, writing software, and continuously testing, tweaking, and retesting their prototypes. Under these demanding conditions, Ren Zhengfei made it a daily habit to personally visit the site, closely monitoring production progress and overseeing development efforts. He regularly convened meetings to discuss the obstacles they faced, assigning tasks and coordinating solutions to tackle the myriad challenges that arose. Even during meal times, Ren Zhengfei and company leaders would join everyone at nearby food stalls for casual, communal meals—sharing both the highs and lows of their early days together.
