Chapter 114: The War with the Giants (Part II)
PS: Continue to the big chapter, there should be another chapter 3K ~ in a while
Ahn Joon-hyuk noticed that Park Hong-chu was still reorganized by J.H Music, and during the execution of the acquisition, Won Sung and they caught some reporters who were following and secretly taking pictures.
Some of them want to make a name for themselves in the news, some of them are hired by SidusHQ and SKT, the purpose is self-evident, but there are a few of them, they were actually commissioned by a reporter, and then recently, after the announcement of the J.H music reorganization, less than half an hour after the press conference ended, an article titled "The Mire Effect, Behind the Correct Application of Litigation Battles" appeared on Naver.
The article is sprinkled with more than 2,000 words, carefully analyzing Ahn Junhyuk's application of litigation warfare, and the quagmire theory makes Ahn Junhyuk very interested.
It can be seen from the time of the article's release that the reporter named Park Hongjian probably knew his purpose very early, but he kept it until he took the initiative to reveal it.
Such a smart person who has eyes and can do things, Ahn Jun-hyuk naturally wants to meet him.
Standing under the half-finished building, there are still some messy construction sites around, the first phase of the project is only one building close to the road, and other places are still under construction, the scaffolding is regular but messy on the bare concrete building, the cyan mesh seems to be wrapped around the gauze tent, some places are lit up with red warning lights, some people are waving glow sticks, directing the transport vehicles pulling a large number of building materials to stop, and the loud sound of the mixer continues to shake the eardrums.
Everything was in full swing, in stark contrast to the coldness of the hall that followed it.
This building has just been completed. The space of the hall is very large, although because there are no internal facilities, the ceiling and other things have not been installed, and they have just been painted, and the paint and dust splashed everywhere have not been cleaned up, which looks a little dirty and simple.
However, it is vast and empty, but it already has the prototype of the magnificent layout of large enterprise space.
"It seems that since the decision to build the office building here last year, Ahn Junhyuk has hinted at his ambitions, but it's a pity. No one has ever taken his threat seriously......" thought. Park Hong shook his head secretly.
Don't talk about others, if it weren't for the professor's suggestion, he wouldn't have thought of it at all, and it seems to be a simple JS war on the surface. There are so many things hidden. Ahn Junhyuk's appetite is so terrifying and domineering. If you don't move, you will die!
Before coming, he had already learned about it through his own channels. SKT is almost out of order, J.H Music threw a bombshell, directly stunned the SKT executives who had just begun to change their response strategy, and now, most of them are holding an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the next challenge of J.H Music!
Because Ahn Jun-hyuk has a strong involvement in the layout of the digital music market with strong funds, it has directly leveraged the future foundation of SKT.
Park Hongjian still remembers that after he published the article on the quagmire effect yesterday, he went to meet Professor Sikong Yi, the proposer of the quagmire effect. He still remembers Professor Sikong's exclamation when he talked about the impact of Ahn Junhyuk's actions.
"Since 00 years, some old friends and I have set up an economic research group, mainly to study the changes and development of the future economy, especially in the field of high and new technology. ”
The picture of memory emerged, and Professor Sikong walked in front of him, with the endless meadow of Seoul National University at his feet: "We all have the same view, the future trend of information and communication, must embark on the road of integration of three networks, telecommunications network, radio and television network, Internet, with the evolution of 2G to 3G, high-speed downlink packet access technology has also been applied, 3.5G began to be launched, the construction of high-speed networks is getting faster and faster, and the interconnection between the three networks is an inevitable problem for the development of information and communication. ”
"What does it mean to know that the Tao is destructive?"
He shook his head blankly.
"Because its impact on traditional industries is unimaginably huge! You can try to imagine what kind of changes mobile operators will face when you can make phone calls through the Internet? When you can browse the news and watch TV through your mobile phone, what will TV stations do?"
He obediently tried to imagine it, and then a cold sweat followed.
If it really becomes like that, the three-network industry pattern will be turned upside down.
Take SKT as an example, it announced last year the 03 fiscal year financial report, value-added business accounted for 30% of its overall profit, the largest remaining revenue, from the mobile call service, that is, the telephone business, if the future really develops to call completely through the Internet, then, SKT's telephone business will shrink rapidly, it can only look at itself sadly, in the trend of the times, from the previous monopoly giant, reduced to the Internet circulation channel, in addition to charging a little wireless Internet usage fees, can no longer occupy a dominant position.
It's like going from a banker to a cashier, and you can handle a lot of money every day, but before that money was his, now, it's someone else's.
The same is true for the impact on radio and television, when watching TV can abandon the traditional cable and satellite signals, then the threshold for entering the radio and television industry, will be greatly reduced because of the transformation of technology, no need to buy expensive satellite transceiver equipment, no longer use the huge cost of cable laying, more people can participate in the production and sales of programs and channels, at that time, the current KBS, MBC, SBS, I am afraid will be completely crushed by the many emerging content providers who flock in.
"In this way, the only ones who are not affected are broadband operators?"
"Hehe, it also has to face the impact of wireless networks, KTF and SKT have launched 3.5G high-speed wireless, they plan to cover the whole country in 08, and then, what about after 3.5G?"
Afterwards?
That's LTE, the 4G standard proposed in 04, which Park Hongjian still knows.
Thinking about it, Park Hong gradually didn't know whether the expression on his face was crying or laughing at the moment of Lu Dao.
From this trend, SKT's future decline is inevitable, and it is the wireless high-speed network that it has laid itself in the cemetery.
How ironic......
"Professor. SKT and KTF, or operators in other countries, can't they see this problem?"
"Of course I did. The professor said lightly, "But they can't help it, this is an inevitable change in technology, since the commercialization of 1G networks in the 70s, this wheel can no longer stop." People need faster, more comfortable and higher-quality network services, equipment vendors need a more ideal access environment to facilitate them to use technological updates to drive market share, and most importantly, terminal manufacturers. PC, mobile phone, TV. These giants are promoting the process of triple play integration, like a group of crazy horses running forward, whoever dares to pause a little will be crushed to death immediately!"
"This world is in the world. After all, it's not a one-person world. The evolution of trends. It's not something a handful of people can decide!"
"SKT has long discovered this problem, especially after the international 4G standard was proposed in 04, the situation of triple play integration is becoming more and more obvious. That's why it is eager to get involved in the entertainment industry, injecting Nate, founding Melon, and acquiring IHQ, all of which are for the future. If it can't be integrated, it can say that once the integration starts, it can take advantage of its stable market in digital music and film and television content production at this time, quickly break free from the dilemma of becoming a 'pipe provider', and complete the transformation to a content provider. ”
"So, the importance of Melon to SKT ......"
The professor nodded, "Yes, Ahn Jun Hyuk's huge acquisition is very vicious, and one punch hits the foundation of SKT's future, no matter whether he can unify content production in the future, the three strategic alliances with J.H music as the core are a sharp sword hanging over Melon's head, threatening at all times...... Boom!"
Park Hongzheng listened to the excitement of his heart, and the macroeconomic exposition was always full of magnificence, as if he was in the thick of history. The situation depicted by the professor can only be seen by the other party who has studied the economy for many years and cultivated a comprehensive view and forward-looking vision on the basis of profound theories.
Hearing him call his name, Pu Hongjian hurriedly lowered his head respectfully: "Yes, Professor!"
"You're going to see Ahn Joon-hyuk, aren't you?"
"Yes, J.H. has agreed to my request for an interview. ”
In the afternoon sun, the professor squatted down, gently plucked a blade of grass, and played with it with his fingertips, and after a while, he said, "After we meet, can you ask him a question on my behalf?"
"Of course you can!" Pu Hong nodded hurriedly.
"Help me ask him, what is the future of J.H Entertainment?"
"......" He widened his eyes slightly, pondering the deeper meaning of the question, and then, a surprised expression emerged, "Professor, you mean that Ahn Junhyuk also sees the evolution of the information and communication field in the future?"
The professor smiled calmly, but his tone was quite exclamating, "Yes...... The angle of the knife of J.H music was too tricky, and it wasn't until Ahn Junhyuk inserted it into SKT's body that I found some veins, and then linked it to the fusion of the three networks...... If Ahn Joon-hyuk has been aiming for this goal from the very beginning, then this person ......"
This man did not continue.
But Park Hongjian can already guess a little.
If you really have that kind of vision and that kind of courage, then this person will be very scary.
The thoughts immersed in memories came to their senses, and a series of unhurried footsteps came from the side of the stairs.
The voice echoed through the space, and it seemed to strike at the heart.
Probably Ahn Jun-hyuk is here!
Park Hong gradually tidied up his clothes and appearance, and then was stunned, this is a subconscious behavior that he only has when he is very nervous, since he entered the industry, he has only appeared in interviews with those big people.
…… Could it be that Ahn Joon-hyuk has risen to such a height in my heart......?
Pu Hong gradually smiled bitterly, shook his head, shook off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, tried his best to make his expression look solemn, and then stood quietly in place, facing the stairs, waiting for the other party to come down.
In any case, the current Ahn Joon-hyuk has this qualification!
……
In the evening, Cui Yongheng appeared at Walkerhill Villa.
This is the property of the Choi family, and most of the Korean chaebols use cross-shareholding to maintain the family's control over the group, and SK Group's strongest control comes from Walkerhill, which is combined with SK Corporation and SK Corporation. Grasp the huge equity network of the entire group.
Perhaps because of such a heavy background, although he is the son of Choi Tae-won, Choi Yong-heng rarely comes here, and in his feeling, the heavy pressure of SK Group seems to be hanging over this complex at all times, pressing him out of breath, and likewise, it also makes his heart shake.
He knows the way, as long as he masters it. Trillions of won in personal assets. The power of the top structure of the entire country, and even the influence of the world, are at your fingertips.
In the evening, Walkerhill has shimmered like a pearl. Luxury cars from all over the world greet the halo of resplendent gold. It's all about getting drunk and drunk. Cui Yongheng didn't care about that, parked the car in a low-key manner, and walked through the main building of the hotel and the park behind it. In front of a detached villa in the central area.
The villa is also lit up, and the clear lake across the quiet path and park, the hustle and bustle of the hotel in the distance, and the glorious Seoul in the darkness on the other side of the Han River, all of these things come into view, and the chest suddenly relaxes, as if the heart is also open with the vision.
However, this feeling was very short-lived, when he walked into the villa and saw the old man sitting under the porch of the villa, leisurely teasing the puppy, the whole person was like a mouse that saw a natural enemy, subconsciously bent over, and slowed down his movements.
It is said that it is an old man, but it is not quite exact, the man under the porch who has a slightly fat body and the same round face is actually only in his early 50s.
At this time, he was wearing silk pajamas, gently combing the puppy's hair in the faint light marks extending from the windowsill of the villa, at first glance, the scene was peaceful and ordinary, the only difference was that the environment stained him with a touch of luxury.
But only Cui Yongheng knows how amazing this old man's skills are, and how awe-inspiring the power he wields.
He is Chey Tae-won, who is now at the helm of the empire of SK.
"Dad. He walked over, the puppy didn't recognize him, jumped up and barked at him a few times, and then was picked up by Choi Tae-won.
"Coming back?"
Without looking up, the old man continued to tease the puppy, "I thought I was going to send someone to invite you over." ”
Cui Yongheng lowered his head, not daring to move, "Dad......"
The old man didn't seem to hear a trembling in his voice at all, and continued: "I've been in China for a while, and I've seen so many problems when I come back, especially, I've heard that you've done a lot of good things! Hehe, someone else came to negotiate, you slapped him in the face and stepped on his dignity on the ground, you breathed out very well, someone else set up J.H Music, and the retreat I worked so hard to arrange for SKT was disintegrated most of it at once, hehe, you are really my good son Choi Tae-won, do you want me to abdicate now and make way for Hyun?"
“…………”
Thump!
Cui Yongheng knelt down, the face that had been hideous, contemptuous, and disdainful was trembling at the moment, completely losing its blood, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead.
The space fell silent.
Cui Taiyuan finally raised his head and looked at Cui Yongheng kneeling under the steps, combing the hair of the puppy in his arms expressionlessly, the breeze blew from the side of the park, shaking the branches of a ginkgo tree above his head, and the sound of waving leaves gently reached his ears.
The coolness blew away a little bit of heat.
I don't know how long it took for Cui Taeyuan to speak again, and his voice was as quiet as a breeze: "Yongheng, you have provoked a very troublesome enemy for us......"
At the same time, in the construction site of the J.H office building in Apgujeong, Park Hong gradually fell half a step behind, followed Ahn Junhyuk, and walked on the lawn behind the building that was ready to be used as a resting place.
However, there is one person who doesn't mind such trivial things.
"oppa—" The girl's vibrant, crisp cry came from the other side of the lawn.
The light here was dim, but there was a blazing flame, the barbecue grill that had been erected at some point, the smoke of charcoal mixed with grease rose into the night sky, the rich smell of meat wafted over, and behind the red flames, a beautiful girl beckoned happily to this side.
Park Hong gradually got to know the girl, in order to study Ahn Junhyuk, he did a lot of homework, and he had learned about any news that the other party had experienced, even if it was just a scandal that was imaginary, and he had memorized it firmly. Lin Yun'er, who is said to have a very close relationship with the An family's brothers and sisters, is naturally no exception.
And he also knew that the girl named Lin Yun'er was a trainee of SM Company, and it seemed that she was going to make her debut next year.
To be honest, he was a little jealous the moment he found out, although he didn't know why Ahn Joon-hyuk didn't recruit her to J.H., thinking that it was mostly due to some obstacles within SM, or his own considerations. But anyway. She already has a good starting point, leaning on the big tree of Ahn Junhyuk, and making her debut in the future, who in the circle dares to show her face?
Thoughts. Ahn Jun-hyuk waved his hand over there with a little doting at the corner of his mouth. Respond to the girl's cries.
It's been since we met. Park Hong gradually saw him smile for the first time, and the serious atmosphere suddenly slowed down a little, and Park Hong gradually exhaled secretly. smiled: "Very cute girl." ”
"Hehe, also very naughty. ”
"Is that your sister Ahn Ji-so next to her? I've heard "Marriage", and she has a great voice. ”
Park Hongjian has interviewed many big people, their personalities have their own characteristics, if you want to interview unique content from their mouths, he must grasp the preferences of the other party to cater to, Ahn Junhyuk's current preferences are obviously his sister, and Lim Yoona, and another short girl who doesn't know the name of Lu Dao.
quietly touted a few girls for a few words, Ahn Junhyuk, who didn't talk much, was gradually guided to talk about sex, and at a certain moment, he finally got to the point: "I read the article you wrote, and the theory is very well summarized, it seems that Reporter Park has a deep understanding of the economy." ”
"You've won a prize. Hearing that he put the credit for theoretical induction on his head, Park Hong gradually shirked again and again with some shame, "How can I have such a wealth of knowledge, the quagmire effect was first proposed by a professor, and I just used it." ”
Ahn Joon-hyuk was a little surprised, but he didn't ask him which professor he was, which made Park Hong gradually breathe a sigh of relief.
Professor Sikong's status is very high, he has no instructions to reveal his news, and Park Hongjian does not dare to decide on his own, but fortunately Ahn Junhyuk didn't ask, and he didn't have to lie.
"But the professor has entrusted me with a question for you. ”
"Oh, please!"
"The professor wants to ask you, what is the future direction of your J.H. entertainment?"
As soon as the words came out, Park Hongji's eyes were fixed on Ahn Jun-hyuk.
Not only did Professor Sikong want to know the Tao, he also wanted to, but the difference with Professor Sikong's purpose was that he wanted to see if this man who was too young, caused him a lot of shocks, and subverted many of his concepts, was as great as the professor admired, and made people feel terrible!
Ahn Jun-hyuk naturally didn't know about his mental activities, so he thought about it when he heard it.
The basic framework for the development of J.H Entertainment was already in place on the night before he broke with SKT and the lawsuit broke out.
The future development of high-tech technology, he knows better than anyone else, at this time people are generally still arguing about the possibility of triple play, some people think that it is impossible to achieve, of course, more people have understood this trend, but even if the optimistic people, they only think that by 2015, the three networks will have enough conditions to unify, and then in 2020, the Internet will initially intervene in the field of media and mobile communications, and carry out a wide range of industrial revolution.
But only he knows that in fact, the opportunity for the integration of the three networks has come earlier than anyone imagined.
Next year, the old man named Steve Jobs, who is known as the greatest figure of the 21st century, will use Apple, a giant company, to promote intelligent innovation that will change the world.
The trend of the digital keyboard pioneered by the iPhone and the large-screen mobile terminal will tear the tradition to pieces in a devastating state, and countless current giants have fallen down and become the bones under the Apple throne, and new giants have been born to fight fiercely in the wave of smart phones.
War is the driving force of science and technology, this kind of war not only includes war in the de facto sense, but can also extend to many directions, iPhone and Android vividly play the dominant potential of wireless networks, all traditions in front of them into powder, and then they build a new, more suitable for the era of the ecosystem!
VoIP、IPTV…… These techniques, which are only one of the points of contention now, will become the only standard in the industry in the future, and the battlefield for countless giants to fight. Mobile Internet applications slaughtered one giant after another in the traditional field, and then stepped on their corpses, expanding their territory in blood and mourning, and finally changing the entire human society!
In the dream, he developed too slowly and missed it once, and now, how could he miss it again?
However, there is no need to explain these in detail, An Junhe thought for a while, and said noncommittally: "Maybe I will focus on the digital field, who knows the future?"
He didn't see that behind him, Park Hongji, who got the answer, paused and smiled bitterly. (To be continued......)
