After a while Chinese tea and cookies are offered to them in the drawing room. Huawei believes in specialization and aims to serve industries and people of all countries. We tried to make joint ventures in Europe. We faced problems in the United States but now federal government has started understanding us better. Profit maximization is our least priority whereas customer solutions and services are prime focus. Our every employee is an asset for Huawei, Ren explains. Dippar asks about future of capitalism. Huawei started as a private company. Its growth is all because of demand and supply forces and market knowledge. Huawei is refining free market economy, Ren explains. On a projector, Dippar shows & explains the storyboard of film to Mr. Ren. He suggests including photos in far flung areas which are noted by Sen. He appreciates and promises to support the film. At the car porch, before leaving Mr. Ren says to Dippar that you are brilliant but film name should be valuable. Dippar and Sen see off the guest.
