There are three people talking about their job responsibilities.
Jane: A lot of my work is routine secretarial work. You know, answering the phone, writing letters, that kind of thing. Customers often want information about our products, so I have to write a lot of letters. Another part of my job is to organize seminars. I organize speakers, invite guests, arrange a venue and even accommodation(食宿).
Joe: I have a lot of contact with customers because they phone us when they have problems with our machines, which is quite often. They phone us because they need spare parts — something’s broken or worn out — and then I take the orders and send parts to the customers.
Jack: I’m responsible for hiring and firing! When there’s a vacancy, I write the job description. Then I advertise the position. Either in the company or in a newspaper. And I interview the applicants and select them. And finally I draw up their contract.

But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban(禁令) on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U. S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt.

“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and president said. “This ban from the U.S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added.

In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only ￡4,000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic(浪漫的) as you imagine.”

Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing. Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019.At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunications equipment(电信设备) supplier, selling in 170 countries! It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.
