电信业传奇人物李一男宣布将于近期辞去无限讯奇CEO职务。知情人士向《第一财经日报》透露，李辞职并非缘于移动反腐案，而是未达董事会要求。

但李的个人影响力似乎不减。本报获悉，已有VC向其发出约请。不过李在自己的微博里写道：“希望能够在未来踏踏实实，安安静静地做好产品和企业。”并强调，“未来将继续专注于互联网、移动互联网和其他科技方面的工作”。

影响力不减，除了李曾在中国最先进的高科技公司担任过核心技术高管外，其所处领域仍代表着未来趋势。

李闻达于华为。1970年出生的他曾被视为“少年天才”。早在1992年他便在华为实习，1993年研究生毕业后加入华为，27岁就成为华为副总裁，1998年升任华为常务副总裁，主管研发。当时李被外界认为是任正非、孙亚芳之后的3号人物，并被视为任正非的“人”。

但少年得志的李一男在华为期间争议多多。传说中，李曾因不同意见“训斥高层”、因小事“辱骂下属”。一位在此期间曾与 李共事的前同事吴可 为(化名)透露，在 华 为 从基层到高级管理人员性格大多如此，有些员工从大学毕业就进入了这个公司，所以他们都很年轻气盛，“老板以下很多高级管理人员都是这种习惯”，因此下面也必然效仿。

“Lee is a very smart, technically gifted person with strong management capabilities. He's very high-level and will certainly achieve some things,” said Wu Canwei.

Young and ambitious Lee faced his first major setback at Huawei. Around the year 2000, Lee's position underwent adjustments, and he successively served as Huawei Electrical President and Director of the American Research Institute.

At that time, Ren Zhengfei advocated for "internal entrepreneurship." Lee was dissatisfied and left after a year of deliberation; Ren accepted his resignation.

A group of Huawei people followed him out to form Harbour Networks. The company seemed to be born with an emotional tone: everywhere it went, it made sure not to let Huawei feel good about itself; it became the latter's most promising competitor. Clearly, it highlighted Lee's talent.

But Ren Zhengfei was old-schooled in strategy. In 2006, Huawei emulated Cisco by acquiring Harbour Networks; Lee returned to Huawei as Chief Scientist for Telecommunications Science & Vice President. By the end of 2007, he became Vice President of Terminal Company at Huawei; his internal ranking had reached beyond the top ten.

Lee sank into despair once more. A colleague who worked with him during this period on engineering projects revealed that in their eyes, Lee was a "god-like figure" who inspired many admirers.

However,"after returning home twice," Li rarely appeared in internal meetings anymore (Lz13.cn). According to Liu Si Jia (a pseudonym), Li could carry spiritual leadership within research development but might not be effective in other systems like marketing sales because Huawe i has a powerful sales system. Wu Canwei expressed that Li did not handle competitive relationships well when leaving Huawe i initially; therefore his second departure was inevitable.

Two years later, Li indeed chose to leave again and joined Baidu as CTO but left after just over a year there too. About Li's work during his time at Baidu , one senior communications industry media professional told our newspaper: "Once there was an error during working hours at Baidu . All employees received an email from Lei Jun where he took full responsibility for all mistakes made by himself."

It seems then that by this time Le e had mellowed away from youthful ambition s . His former colleague Meng Si Fei (pseudonym) recalled: Though they were no longer colleagues now , everyone still admired him greatly .

However , even though he excelled both professionally & personally , ultimately Le e decided t o leave Baidu too - joining Novaline Technologies as CEO instead - reportedly after being persuaded by its founder Lei Jun for quite some time before making up her mind . However according t o someone who used t o work alongside Le e back @Baidu : though h e w s great & liked b y staff alike - yet n ow f orced under China Mobile 's control @Novaline Tech ., l ong term prospects looked uncertain due t o coordination issues .

Sure enough , just short while later - amid China Mobile 's anti-corruption drive- L ee announced another departure fr om Novaline Tech., much like how others found themselves caught up in similar circumstances around them — raising questions abt th timing nd th reasons behind these events .
