Chapter 61

In Lee Zairong's study, Kwon Ji-hyun grasped his tone and said something he had already prepared, step by step. Of course, before getting to the topic, we must first lay the foundation.

"President, the new mobile phones we just launched this year already have a full-color library color screen model. According to the R&D plan, the current research includes projects with photo shooting functions - the new media trends that mobile phones may develop in the next few years. You should be very clear about the digital camera, MP3, or recorder, for three or five years, they will definitely be swallowed up by the mobile phone."

"For the company's future, any development model that can allow the mobile business department to expand its route, even if it mediates the interests of some of the current entertainment electronic products, it is still cost-effective. Who cares about competing for market share in a field that is about to be eliminated?"

After these previews, Li Zairong's heart was already illuminated.

No wonder Kwon Ji-hyun was going to lobby at his house today, and did not dare to say anything in the company.

Kwon Ji-hyun and Choi Sung-chi are both his direct subordinates. Kwon Ji-hyun is in charge of the mobile business unit, that is, the mobile phone industry; Choi Sung-chi is in charge of the entertainment electronic business unit, that is, the product lines of laptop computers, MP3, DISKMAN, and digital cameras.

Due to the multifunctionalization and rise of mobile phones, Kwon Ji-hyun is in a business unit of a sunrise industry, while Choi Sung-chi is in a sunset industry.

Just as the current situation in early 2003 is now open, Choi Sung-chi's business generated revenue for Samsung Electronics is much higher than that of Kwon Ji-hyun's business unit. After all, in Dongyi in 2003, almost every white-collar worker needed a Samsung laptop. After all, mobile phones are unable to do computers. This marketing revenue alone is higher than that of mobile phones.

But Kwon Ji-hyun represents the future. Today he came to find himself, and must have wanted to attack Choi Sung-chi again, "for the interests of small groups and our business units, regardless of the overall situation of the company."

Li Zairong has seen such internal struggles between business departments many times.

"Go straight to the point, I'm not interested in your little bit of trouble."

"Yes, yes, I'm very sorry." Kwon Ji-hyun immediately got to the point. "Recently, a small Chinese company named 'YY Electronics' took out some patent technology in the MP3 field and sued Apple, demanding that Apple declare that many core patents in the IPOD field invalid. You believe we have heard of some of the lawsuits between us and Apple, so we naturally have to cooperate with that company.

It happened that the president of YY Electronics, Gu Cheng, happened to visit Seoul in the past few days, and Cui Chengzhi's people also went to negotiate at the beginning, but Cui Chengzhi did not agree to discuss the conditions for the market access commitment with the other party, so Gu Cheng did not see him..."

Then Kwon Ji-hyun spent about five minutes telling Cui Sung-chi's men about the whole story of Gu Cheng's rejection of his first negotiation offer.

After hearing this, Li Zairong didn't notice anything wrong with Cui Chengzhi's doing: "This is normal. It would be great to give him these conditions."

Kwon Ji-hyun hurriedly explained: "President, it's not just that, because Gu Cheng has several other identities. After listening to me, Gu Cheng is also a little kinship with Director Kwon of the Department of Culture and Sports, and also knows President Pan. He also has some energy in the domestic and political and business circles of China. The last time SK Telecom and Huaxia Unicom cooperated with CDMA, he finally promoted additional orders.

In contrast, the excessive demands he made in the MP3 field were just the disease of phytoma scabies. After tied him to our chariot, he continued to cooperate in mobile phones and other communication fields, which was the big business. Choi Tae-won, the SK chaebol, met Gu Cheng at the last time at the Huaxia Unicom signing party in Beijing, and had a drink."

As Li Zairong, the richest man in Dongyi, he naturally would not watch idol dramas. He didn’t even watch "Blue Life and Death Love", let alone "Meteor Garden"?

Besides, even if it is "Meteor Garden" modified by Gu Cheng, the show and wealth of the scene cannot be compared with the later "The Heirs" in history. Even if you watch a real wealthy family like Li Zairong, you will only laugh at "the so-called wealthy children in TV series are simply a fucking family."

Therefore, it was normal for him not to know Gu Cheng at first.

As for small matters like IPOD patent lawsuits, it is not his turn to ask about them personally, so he doesn't know what happened in the past two months.

But after hearing that Gu Cheng was the guy who made great efforts in promoting CDMA cooperation last year and even later made a high-profile statement that he led the Internet industry out of the cold winter, Li Zairong had to re-evaluate the name Gu Cheng.

Samsung is the largest chaebol in Dongyi, and SK Telecom is the third largest chaebol in Dongyi.

Samsung's main competitor in the next few years, LG, which has a high overlap in the electronics field, ranks as the fourth chaebol of Dongyi.

In the past few years, the competition between Samsung and LG was mainly in the fields of notebooks, digital cameras, displays/LCD TVs. With the rise of the mobile phone industry, the focus of the competition between Samsung and LG has become even more convergent.

Just like in China, Huawei and ZTE will definitely compete for major customers Huaxia Mobile.

In Dongyi, SK Telecom's role is equivalent to Huaxia Mobile's role in China. Samsung and LG are both suppliers of SK Telecom.

Gu Cheng’s business and political circles in China can mobilize energy to promote the upgrade of CDMA. Who knows if he can intervene in a few years to upgrade CDMA to EVDO network?

Isn’t it more valuable to make friends who “can speak with big customers (SK Telecom) and big customers (Huaxia Unicom)” than to be petty in small businesses like MP3?

Li Zairong has been in charge of this 200 billion US dollars chaebol for four years, and he still has this vision.

There are also imperial wise techniques.

Kwon Ji-hyun’s proposal can be tried, but he cannot give him sweet dates immediately - that would only lead to his subordinates’ private complaints and criticisms in the future.

He needs to hit him first: "Cui Chengzhi sent someone there these days, but Gu Cheng has been hiding? Even if such a person is really capable, he is a little ignorant of the world. Uncle Quan, business is naturally something to be negotiated, but he cannot deteriorate the reputation of our Three Star Li family."

When Kwon Ji-hyun stands on his own, he naturally has to downplay the problem of both sides' arrogance. And he also knows that the president is hitting himself:

"It's not a question of hiding out. He said he came to Director Quan's house to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Later, Cui Chengzhi's people sent him there. On the first day, he said he was going out to relax. On the second day, he said he was watching artist selection at S-M company. He went to the nightclub in Cheongtandong after get off work. Our people were embarrassed to go to that kind of place to find people, so they delayed..."

Li Zairong's expression was even more unexpectedly disdainful: "Nightclub? It's really ridiculous!"

"It's DK-POLO." Kwon Ji-hyun quickly explained.

"That's also a nightclub!" Li Zairong's face looked a little better and snorted coldly, "Because you are dedicated to the company, this matter is Cui Chengzhi's territory after all, and you have a little overtaken. Let's do this, I'll help you with some business banquet, send him a formal business banquet to Gu Cheng, and ask him to come to my mansion. Then you will talk to him here. If I don't come forward, Cui Chengzhi won't say anything about you."

"Yes, President, I will definitely win you the best long-term cooperation conditions from the overall perspective!"

When Kwon Ji-hyun left Lee's mansion, he began to call Kwon Soon-woo, hoping that Kwon Soon-woo could turn the Samsung meaning into position.

He did not have Gu Cheng's contact information, nor did the other party give it to him.

...

At the same time, S-M Entertainment Company.

Gu Cheng and his cousin used the reason to go shopping on the first day to vacate the people sent by Cui Chengzhi, but it was a bit unauthentic to do this all the time, and it was easy to anger Samsung.

So the next day, starting from the beginning, he stayed in S-M Company every day when he went to work. Now he is the company's largest shareholder, accounting for more than 45% of the shares. The "president" is willing to visit the front line to observe and supervise the selection of artists, so the company's management naturally won't say anything.

Dongyi’s middle school/university graduation season is exactly the opposite of Huaxia. Huaxia graduated during the summer semester, and Dongyi graduated during the winter semester. Therefore, after the Lantern Festival every year, it is the peak period for fresh graduates to go to school or flow into the employment market. Entertainment brokerage companies often absorb trainees or preparatory artists in large quantities at this time.

Everyone knows that the selection of artists is relatively "" and is prone to unspoken rules. So even if someone asks him to discuss business, he will not be embarrassed to come at this time.

He can also turn off his phone legitimately - I am "sleeping female star"! Isn't it necessary to turn off the phone? I am not trying to avoid Samsung's negotiators, but just to "sleep" without being disturbed.

This "no battle card" is simply natural.

Cousin Pan Jieying was also taken out, but she didn't like to watch artist selection, so she stayed in the lounge and flipped out emails.

In the audition room, there were only a few dance coaches, vocal coaches and a selection manager who scored and commented. Then Gu Cheng and Quan Baoya sat next to him and watched, rarely expressing their opinions. The girls in the audience passed by one by one, and when they met people from the coaching team with poor qualifications, they would directly get the results. If the qualifications were OK, they would occasionally ask Quan Baoya or Gu Cheng's opinions.

"Oh, it's so boring. I didn't expect that most Dongyi girls were so ugly when they were young." Gu Cheng complained with a slight sigh.

The audio is played on the speaker, "Valenti", the most popular song by Quan Baoya. Since the album sold 5 million copies in Asia, S-M Company has recently used this song as the soundtrack for the dance selection competition every day. Even Gu Cheng, who likes to listen to his cousin's singing, has become a little bored after listening to it for two days.

"There are 6 more today, and you'll get off work after you finish watching it." Quan Baoya looked at the list and saw that her cousin was indifferent, so she whispered to remind him in a low voice.

Gu Cheng cheered up again, and after watching for half an hour, he finally arrived at the last one.

What came up was a thin, black girl who began to jump to the rhythm of "Valenti".

Loli is at most twelve or thirteen years old. Her legs are as thin as reed sticks, and she doesn’t have three taels of flesh all over her body. However, her hair looks very energetic and nutritious. Her face looks okay, but her skin is a little dark, so I don’t know what effect it can achieve after maintenance and whitening.

"The dance level is not very good. I guess if the tone can be made back a little, there will be a play." Gu Cheng glanced at it for a few times and made a secret judgment in his heart. After all, the level of the trainees was bad when they first came in, so the key was to look at plasticity.

After dancing and singing a paragraph, all the judges scored the scores. They seemed to think it was not bad. The person in charge asked Gu Cheng politely: "President, we think this Lin Yuner is not bad. What do you think? After all, a freshman who has just entered junior high school has strong plasticity."

"Then give her a chance, let's get here today." Gu Cheng yawned, picked up his windbreaker and prepared to flash his head.

The girl on the dance floor finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Gu Cheng's decision.

"I finally got selected. I wonder if I will have the chance to be as popular as Senior Baoer in the future and sit next to the president."
