At the beginning of 2017, Huawei began to focus on cleaning up programmers over 40 years old, which opened the prelude to the hot topic of "mid-life crisis" for technicians.
At the end of 2017, the 42-year-old R&D head of ZTE, Ou Jianxin, jumped off the building, which pushed the popularity of the "mid-life crisis" to an unprecedented peak.
Just recently, as the escalation of the Sino-US trade war, the US government completely banned the sale of electronic components to ZTE, and ZTE, the world's four largest telecommunications manufacturers, was immediately faced with extinction.
Taking resistors and capacitors as an example, these components are characterized by a very low price, but a huge demand. In fact, domestic manufacturers can also produce, but the quality is not as good as that produced by foreign brand manufacturers. The worst thing is that no matter how cheap it is, as long as it is soldered to your circuit board, as long as one of them breaks, your entire circuit board is scrapped. Therefore, our own electronic product manufacturers avoid using components produced by domestic manufacturers.
At this point, some people may ask: Since domestic manufacturers can also produce this kind of components, can't we produce products of the same quality as foreign ones?
Good question! Manufacturers such as TDK and Samsung have a long-term accumulation in material ratio and production technology. They can produce tens of billions of components to ensure the consistency of quality, and the defective rate is extremely low. This is beyond the reach of domestic manufacturers. It is said that there are domestic manufacturers to dig resistance and capacitor engineers from Japan and South Korea, and they will not come for any money. Therefore, although this type of product is very simple, the quality of domestic manufacturers still cannot catch up with the products of European, American, Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese companies.
Such companies in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea have accumulated decades of experience and have core technologies. These types of companies often keep a group of old engineers with many years of experience, some of them in their 50s and 60s. People have been doing this all their lives, and they only focus on technology. This kind of person can do technology with peace of mind, it does not mean that you can dig it with a high salary.
Looking back at the country:
Why not? ——The values of Chinese society pursue quantity rather than quality. Large companies such as Huawei and ZTE are not willing to pay for this kind of technology accumulation. If your small company does this, it will only die faster.
ZTE is facing extinction, and 80,000 families of its 80,000 employees are facing economic crisis. China is finally starting to pay for its impetuousness. China, it is time to change from the pursuit of Chinese quantity to the pursuit of Chinese quality. Otherwise, ZTE is not just an accident, but the beginning of a nightmare .

Looking back at the country:
- Faced with financial problems, Huawei will first eliminate employees over the age of 40 who are still working in technology.
- 42-year-old Ou Jianxin, who had served in ZTE for 6 years, was abandoned by the company and then jumped downstairs like being abandoned by the whole world.
- A senior headhunter sighed with emotion: the technicians are old and the technology is good, there is no place to push it, because no company wants it.
- "Technologists don't keep focusing on technology" has become a wise saying.
- "Entrepreneurship", this fashionable and lofty term seems to be the only way out for technicians.
