"Well, Oscar, my sister really has a lot of business to do in New York. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

It was just over noon, just over an hour after the arrest of the strange Samsung employee, and the location was still somewhere in the plaza of Rockefeller Center, where Alice was using a public phone booth.

"I have a book to publish here...... yes, that's the fantasy novel I told you about, and I also have some investment projects that I have to talk to some Wall Street people. ”

"Hannah wants a present? Oh, this...... Why don't I inform Milan and ask Aunt Elena to put out a costume just for Hannah?"

"Stop the Batmobile! You're still a year away from getting your driver's license, and if "Batman" is really about to start filming, or else, you can go straight to Long Island in two days, and the filming of Wayne Manor is here. ”

"Okay, okay, that's right~ Eh, bye!"

The call is over, and it's natural to report the situation to the family if you have nothing to do, but dealing with your younger siblings is not an easy job. Taking out her calling card, Alice gulped a long sip of Coke and headed back down the street.

This 19-building central business district, although there is a fully connected parking lot underground, of course, there are traffic laws on the ground. After walking from one building to another, turning east and west along the sidewalk, more than thirty meters away, Alice saw the café that John Grayson had agreed upon.

Ding Ling's door opened, and then a beautiful girl made her grand debut, and as soon as Alice entered the door, she saw the middle-aged uncle next to the bed. Of course, the other party is also an old connoisseur who meets customers, and as Alice has seen, a waiter has just walked up to him.

"Alice, you came at the right time, I just called the waiter. With a bubble of nonsense in his mouth, John Grayson laughed, "Want to drink something?"

"Minors don't drink coffee, give me a ...... Hong Kong-style milk tea?" Glancing at the menu, Alice smiled: "Mr. Grayson chose a good location, it is rare to be able to drink Hong Kong delicious food in Manhattan, so it is good to come here." ”

Grayson ordered a cup of thick cappuccino for himself, and after the waiter retired, he first started the topic: "Miss Wang, first of all, I am very grateful for you choosing our Grayson company as your intermediary, the scale of Samsung company should not be underestimated, without the help of professional institutions, it is difficult for you to get the maximum benefit at the most affordable price." ”

People who do things are in a hurry, and they will move forward when they seize business opportunities, which is the reason why many entrepreneurs are successful. As soon as she realized that Samsung's stock price would fall a little, and she was really interested in it, Alice immediately turned to a professional organization to advise her.

"The home appliance industry is now the mainstream, so I mainly want to talk about the investment target on Samsung Electronics. She said, "So Mr. Grayson, since you claim to know a lot about Samsung, you must be able to make a lot of useful suggestions, right?"

"It seems that Miss Wang also knows a lot about Samsung, so I need to know a big premise. Miss Wang, are you planning to simply speculate in stocks, or do you really want to buy this huge group in large amounts?"

Alice was aware of Grayson's shift in rhetoric, and no doubt it would be easy for someone like Grayson, who has been in the investment industry on Wall Street for many years, to know how much she had made in the '87 crash. Forbes and Fortune haven't interviewed her again, but apparently the man knows how much cash she can muster.

"Looks like you know me very well. The girl smiled: "Then you should tell me, if I want to buy it to a certain extent, what do I need to pay attention to?"

"The strong sense of solidarity of the Korean people makes them instinctively repulsive to foreign investment, and the significance of Samsung Group to the whole of Korea is very important. So Miss Wang, if you really spend a lot of money to buy its business, it will definitely be secretly suppressed by the South Korean government, which is something you have to watch out for. ”

Alice nodded in understanding: "It's true, no matter what the specific strength of a company in the world, if it has unparalleled influence in the country to which it belongs, if others want to take it into their arms, they must be prepared to fight a tough battle at the national level." ”

"It's good that you know that. Seeing Alice cooperate so much, Grayson's heart that had been hanging for a long time also fell a little.

Providing investment advice to clients is one of the main businesses of a company of his type, and in this case, the most taboo thing is to meet those fools who don't know how to only have money. Of course, if it is a kind of honest people's stupidity that does not understand, the account managers can also deal with it in a flickering way, but if they encounter some stupid customers who do not understand and always like to have bad ideas and do not cooperate, everyone will have a headache.

Fortunately, Alice Wang is not only not a fool, but she is actually very proficient in investing, which makes Grayson have too many hearts. Of course, it is inevitable that Lao Tzu will thank his son properly, and if it weren't for the shallow relationship of EtonHouse alumni, he would have had to work very hard to get this consulting fee.

"So before you actually make a move, you have to get to know the group systematically. ”

"Samsung is the quintessential East Asian family-owned business, founded in 1910 by Lee Byung-cheol, who started a grain processing factory with the help of his father in his early years, and founded the Samsung Chamber of Commerce in 1938, the forerunner of today's sprawling conglomerate," Grayson said. ”

"Twenty-eight years old, a typical teenager is successful. ”

"That's right, Miss Wang, I heard that you have published mystery novels in Japan, so you may be able to use it to increase your relationship with the Li family. Li Bingzhe studied at Waseda University in Japan when he was young, and although he returned to China after only one year, it was only because he did not adapt to the climate. It can be said that in the early years, the grain processing factory relied on the management knowledge learned in college to operate. ”

Approaching Koreans with Japanese mystery novels?

Alice was noncommittal about this proposal, Grayson, as a typical European and American person, is afraid that he does not know much about the bloody romances between Japan and South Korea, let alone the Chinese antipathy to sticks. Elite investors came up with a super invincible big bad idea, but the girl forgave it.

"After the establishment of the Samsung Chamber of Commerce, its main business was to export dried fish, vegetables, and fruits from the South Peninsula of Korea, but in the 50s, it gradually expanded to sugar, pharmaceutical, and textile manufacturing, and established itself as a family-owned company. It was not until 1975 that it became a first-class trader in South Korea under the name of Samsung C&T, mainly engaged in bulk trade and investment business. ”

Alice silently remembered, in fact, to be honest, her understanding of the largest company in South Korea is really limited, after all, the stick thing, the natural famous brand makes her not plan to pay too much attention to it. It's just that the scale of this company is getting bigger and bigger, so Alice, as a typical 21st century young man in the previous life, will of course inevitably learn some things about it, but it is basically limited to the electronics industry.

"Samsung C&T, tsk ......" muttered the name that didn't matter at all, but Alice directly turned her brain to Japan's Mitsubishi, which was the industrial giant she was more familiar with.

"As for the Samsung Electronics you are interested in, it was founded just right, in 1969, and it is similar to most companies in Silicon Valley. ”

"Actually, if you really choose to buy Samsung Electronics, now is a really good opportunity. Although the company made a lot of money, it didn't have many technology patents from the beginning, and all of its products started with imitation. ”

"Let's just say that its first product in the early years, that is, the stepping stone to enter the home appliance industry, is just a 12-inch black-and-white TV that has entered the stage of product life cycle decline and has low profit margins. The most direct reason for this behavior was that the company did not possess and master the minimum electronic technology at that time, and the foreign companies that had mastered the color television technology were not willing to transfer the relevant technology to Samsung Electronics, and were only willing to provide complete sets of parts and assembly technology for black-and-white televisions. ”

Therefore, considering the comprehensive situation of technology and market, their development strategy at that time was to import complete sets of black and white TV sets and basic assembly technology from foreign companies such as Sony of Japan, assemble them under the guidance of foreign technicians, and produce low-end products in the decline stage and sell them to overseas low-end markets. ”

Alice let out a long breath: "Very clever to do. ”

"That's right, so Miss Wang, the next thing you need to pay extra attention to. Grayson said in a serious tone: "Since the early part of this decade, Samsung Electronics has been moving into the computer field, and the preferred target is dynamic memory DRAM, and I believe you know better than I what that is." ”

"Memory is a good thing," Alice laughed, "so they're starting to use the old tactics again?"

"That's right," Grayson said, "At the beginning of their entry into this market, it was also because they did not master the key technology, so the product development strategy pursued was also a copy strategy, that is, packaging DRAM chips from foreign companies, and the packaging technology was also dependent on foreign companies, and then producing low-end products for the low-end market." ”

"Then let's take a look at the current home appliance industry. Alice sneered: "Japanese and South Korean companies invaded the United States on a large scale, and our manufacturers only wanted to make some extra money, but they didn't expect that the learning ability of these two nations was so good. It's a good thing now, not to mention the home appliance industry, and the whole of Japan is crazy about buying our things!" )
