Eric,
I wasn't negative, I was saying I hope they didn't change the culture. A lot of what I have reported on Hasselblad at that time came from the inside. I have nothing about Chinese or any company's involvement as long as the product is strengthened. There was a lot of turmoil in HB back then and recently too. Just for the record, I drive a Swedish car (Volvo) who is owned by a Chinese company and the result there is a great car made even better. I ask this question today, Why hasn't DJI stepped up to the plate and said they owned HB and shared what their vision is for the future?
In my last interview with the President of HB he said in a very PC way that DJI want to stand on their accomplishments. My feelings are that they are afraid to give a major statement and then if something happens and they have to back off or whatever then they don't look good. As a customer of high-end products, I would like to hear what the leadership has to say. Sony, Fuji, Nikon, and others are at least having their leadership talk about the future and present. At this time I believe that in the US there is an interim President, as well as the CEO of the company, is an interim CEO. I have seen nothing to say otherwise.
I would love to sit down with the CEO as I used to with Perry and hear about the plans for the future and have a reassurance that something is happening to say there is a future. I believe DPR recently visited the factory and showed cameras being made but commented on the small number of employees. So, if HB is listening, get in touch with me and let's talk. I love your company, have owned many HBs and would like to explore the future with you.
