What is Huawei 251? What happened to Huawei 251 and what happened next

After the Huawei 251 incident, they came out to make a statement. Why did Huawei dare to go against public opinion and not apologize? Because if one Li Hongyuan leaves, there will be thousands of Li Hongyuans to take his place. For Huawei, this is just a small public opinion crisis. Netizens' memories are like those of goldfish. Sales may decline in the short term, but the impact will not be significant in the long run.

What is Huawei 251?

After leaving Huawei, former Huawei employee Li Hongyuan was charged with extortion and detained for 251 days before being released due to unclear criminal facts and insufficient evidence. Recently, Li Hongyuan accepted interviews from multiple media outlets and expressed his personal demands.

In response to this, Huawei responded today: Huawei has the right and obligation to report suspected illegal acts to the judicial authorities based on facts. We respect the decisions of the judicial authorities, including the police, the procuratorate and the court. If Li Hongyuan believes that his rights and interests have been damaged, we support him in using legal weapons to safeguard his rights and interests, including suing Huawei. This also reflects the spirit of the rule of law that everyone is equal before the law.

Huawei 251 incident and its response

The story of Mr. Li and Huawei is getting more and more interesting. Before Mr. Li received 300,000, he had actually received severance pay n+1, which was more than 330,000. His psychological price was 2n, so he continued to negotiate until the department secretary gave him the difference, 300,000, from a private account. What bargaining chips did Mr. Li use to negotiate with the company for 2n, which is double the severance pay stipulated in the Labor Law? Is it considered extortion to use the company's handle to negotiate compensation with the company? This handle is obviously not something that can be seen in the light, not only for Huawei, but also for Mr. Li. Because Huawei's statement said, you are welcome to sue me. In the letter Mr. Li wrote to Mr. Ren on November 28, he still wanted to negotiate, and also expressed that he could cooperate with the company to hold accountable the big V who incited public opinion. Well... It's very interesting, and the spectators continue to wait for the big melon.

How to evaluate Huawei 251 incident

Watching a public opinion event is not just about watching the fun, but also about learning and drawing lessons from it. These are all practical cases that are not found in books.

First, Mr. Li, a former Huawei employee, believed that he had worked for more than ten years and should sign an indefinite contract. However, the law stipulates that the principle of an indefinite contract is that both parties agree and reach a consensus through negotiation, and the company’s unwillingness is not a violation.

Second, from a personal emotional point of view, the company is bullying the weak. However, if the company believes that the other party has committed a crime, it can report it to the police. This is a basic right and there is nothing wrong with it. This is also advocated by a society ruled by law.

Third, after reporting the case, how to determine the nature of the case and how to follow the legal process are matters for the judicial authorities, and if there are any mistakes, the judicial authorities will bear the responsibility. If it is found that someone at Huawei gave false testimony to frame someone, not only will the company be held responsible, but the individual will also bear legal responsibility.

Fourth, Lao Li was once an excellent employee of Huawei who received "internal incentive shares". Because the company was unwilling to sign an indefinite contract, he became resentful and reported everywhere. Although reporting and exposing are encouraged now, no unit likes people who report.
