far away now compared to say NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN months ago what they're doing internally what they're working towards how things are progressing what's their market strategy moving forward what what's their ideal revenue generation beyond just simply smartphones and there's all these sorts of things going on inside huawei and this event was none of those this is down to regional pr i think if you watch my video about you know how not to shill and how these companies operate i'll put a card up here it's all about how when you have these regional pr agencies that work for these companies they are purely fo end up purely focused on the market involved because our discussions previously with huawei have mostly been at the chip and headquarters level it's a bit different when you suddenly start working with a regional pr so we don't have that kind of access in the same way because so much of the company has changed and ever since you know huawei's put on the entity list high silicon uh a number of key people from high silicon have left to go elsewhere what this event in my mind it should have been huawei doing just that you know redefining itself from the eyes of being an in-person event ideally it should have been at a at a lecture theater almost and we have you know a proper honest overview of what far away means both from a global perspective but also because it's you know uk pr from a regional perspective now this wasn't that i'm actually you know pretty disappointed of how it turned out because i for those who speak to me on the tech tech potato discord or on twitter you'll know that i'm looking forward to in-person events in person events compared to you know just virtual events it's more about how you speak to people it's more about those side conversations that's where you get the more information rather than just simply you know listening to a slide deck which you can do in a virtual environment anyway i'm really looking forward to that and i really hope that in the future companies if they do want to do this sort of you know let's get together let's meet up let's re-synchronize in a face-to-face environment there's got to be more of a point to it in this industry in the past there used to be a lot of hey let's go out for drinks let's have a chat let's just put on something nice for the press and make sure you know they're on our side it's all a bit of you know mind games at some level in recent times that has shifted especially with the rise of how media has changed and how there's a desire to always be on the content all the time if you're not out there trying to find content then what are you doing you shouldn't be at this event or okay you show your face and you go and then you actually do something that matters something that's going to bring home the bacon as marketing dollars have decreased the the need to put more content on and they need to find content has taken the preference and it's also the work ethic of a newer generation of tech media i think than what used to be the case NUMBER_TOKEN years ago so we need to manage that transition and yeah okay companies like far away or you know lg or anybody else happy to have events where you bring in you
