Later in the documentary they said this crumbling city is an hour and a half drive from China's biggest high-tech capital, Shenzhen. Ironically 10 years ago I actually visited Shenzhen and attended a meeting hosted by none other than Huawei. Later on they bought a telecom research report from me and were causing me to jump through hoops to get paid. They actually told me I had to send them an invoice with a corporate seal on it. Well, I ended that problem when I told them if I didn't get paid I would send a nasty letter to every telecom editor in the world explaining how Huawei was trying to screw me. I got paid before I had to send that letter. Leverage! Trump card #9 in The Art of the Deal :- ) |
