Chapter 262: Super VIP treatment at the airport
JUST AFTER YOUTUBE ANNOUNCED PLANS FOR A LARGE-SCALE TV SERIES, PEERS AROUND THE WORLD WERE STILL WAITING. Li Yue has shifted the focus of his work back to the construction of the 4G network.
This Korea-Japan World Cup, Japan has a total of 10 cities. At this time, all employees are divided into two shifts, working 24 hours a day. Now the network has begun to take shape. At the current pace, it will be enough to complete the layout by May 13.
At this time, advertising always comes before the product, and many mobile phone manufacturers in Tokyo have begun to send out advertisements to launch their latest 4G mobile phones.
The other party's work efficiency made Li Yue have to admire. That's what a big company should be.
As time passed, the 4G network coverage became more and more extensive, and as of May 10, all jurisdictions in 10 cities were already filled with 4G wireless signals. At this time, the mobile phones of several Japanese companies were also officially introduced to the market.
Li Yue did not let go of this opportunity, and the V3 mobile phone also entered Japan and began to sell. With the opening of the World Cup in South Korea and Japan on May 13, there are more and more foreign tourists, and the hotel has begun to operate at full capacity.
With the arrival of tourists, many people, driven by curiosity, have gone to the local 4G experience hall to experience the latest 4G network and 4G mobile phones.
May 13, due to the opening ceremony of the World Cup in South Korea. Li Yue's private jet landed in the country for the first time.
Li Yue's arrival also caused a sensation in the local media, and Li Yue got some media space from the World Cup report.
"May I ask Mr. Li, why is the 4G test only carried out in Japan, and not in South Korea?" In the same World Cup host country, everyone speculated why Li Yue had such an obvious biased move.
"Mr. Li, I heard the news from the senior management of Samsung LG, they purchased electronic hardware from your company again and again, but your company rejected it again and again. Excuse me, is this an attempt to suppress South Korea's IT industry?"
There is a saying in South Korea: "There are three things that are always inevitable in the life of Koreans, Samsung, taxes and death!"
Samsung's business is now a little bit more biased towards the electronics industry, PC, mobile phones, LCD technology, PC hardware technology and so on. However, Li Yue's strong rise has made Samsung and LG unable to see the future.
"Does Mr. Li intend to invest in the film and television industry in South Korea? Does Mr. Li have any Korean stars he admires?" an entertainment reporter also asked in English.
Originally, the Korea-Japan World Cup, the world's dignitaries from all over the world came to watch the opening ceremony, the descendants of major families, the heads of major companies, and countless celebrities from all walks of life. How could the media let go of such a good opportunity, as long as they were at the airport, they could see countless celebrities and dignitaries!
And when the media inquired that after Li Yue's plane landed, many different types of media, finance, politics, sports, and entertainment media surrounded them.
Li Yue initially estimated that there should be more than 100 cameras here, but fortunately, there were police officers at the scene to maintain order and there was no major disorder, otherwise so many reporters would have grabbed the camera seats, and a fight would have started a long time ago.
Reporters are still rushing to ask questions, all kinds of types, all kinds of scales, all kinds of things. Li Yue looked at the three girls kneeling on the ground in front of her, holding dozens of media signs in their hands.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Li Yue stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
With so many reporters, it is impossible for Li Yue to leave. More or less you have to say something, and you have to explain a little dry goods!
Seeing that the audience was a little quiet, Li Yue glanced at the media sign in front of him. AFTER PERSONALLY HOLDING THE PHOENIX SATELLITE TV AND YOUTUBE NEWS IN HIS HAND, HE BEGAN TO SPEAK: "I SEEM TO HAVE HEARD SOMEONE SAY THAT I SUPPRESSED THE SOUTH KOREAN IT INDUSTRY, I WANT TO KNOW WHICH REPORTER'S QUESTION, CAN YOU RAISE YOUR HAND CONVENIENTLY?"
As soon as Li Yue's words fell, more than a dozen media reporters raised their hands. Seeing so many people raising their hands, other media also focused their cameras on these peers.
"According to our company's internal communication and call records, after IBM, HP, DELL got all the international supplies, Samsung and LG, as well as computer manufacturers in Japan, Taiwan and other countries in the world contacted us! Everyone should understand that our company's production capacity is limited, and he also needs time to implement a new technology when it is put into production. Even Intel, when it releases new technologies, it is not satisfied that merchants around the world can get the goods they want at the same time. Li Yue said and looked at the media who raised their hands and continued: "And then the 4G network and the hardware equipment of 4G mobile phones. We can only supply the international market on the premise of satisfying domestic demand. At that time, we had communicated with the political and business people in South Korea, and we also wanted to land in the Korea-Japan World Cup. However, the feedback we received was that the South Korean government was not interested in the 4G network for a short time because it had just upgraded the 3G network. If they upgrade the network at this time, they will not be able to account to the people, after all, the 3G network has just cost billions of dollars. For taxpayers, this is a serious waste! And due to the problem of production capacity in our company, we can only put the hardware of 4G mobile phones into areas where the 4G network has been opened for local manufacturers to produce and sell!" Li Yue has never contacted anyone in South Korea at all, and even if she wants to contact a certain person, she should be a female celebrity or something like sleeping for a few days before talking! Li Yue is not afraid of lying in front of reporters, which is the most basic skill of a public figure.
Seeing Li Yue finish speaking, more than a dozen reporters immediately asked questions at the same time. For a while, it was a mess again.
"Everyone talk slowly, now I'm invited, everyone just need to raise their hands!" The scene was a temporary press conference, and there was no host, so Li Yue had to nod his head to interview.
ALTHOUGH LI YUE PERSONALLY HELD THE SIGNS OF PHOENIX SATELLITE TV AND YOUTUBE NEWS IN HIS HAND, HE DID NOT CLICK ON THESE TWO MEDIA. To be a human being, you still have to have a little bottom line, and the first question is to point to your own people, which is a bit unreasonable, and it is in front of the global media.
Li Yue pointed to a reporter who was half-kneeling on the ground, in order not to block the photographer behind him.
This reporter looked at least in his 50s, he didn't expect Li Yue to point to him, although he raised his hand, but he didn't have much hope, he was really a little confused at this time, and he almost forgot the question he had just thought of.
"I'm a reporter for the Chosun Ilbo newspaper in South Korea. AS WE ALL KNOW, YOUR YOUTUBE WEBSITE IS NOW OPERATING CONTENT-ORIENTED, WHICH IS A BIT LIKE A SUPER NETWORK TV STATION WITH A LARGE VOLUME AND GLOBAL COVERAGE. And you have your own TV station in the Chinese media - Phoenix TV! I want to ask if you are interested in investing in your own physical TV station in South Korea, Japan and other countries and regions. Second, you just announced that you will invest 20,000 screens in Huaxia by 2008, but you have not announced any international moves. Haven't you thought about investing in cinemas around the world? Third, what do you think about the Chinese team's trip to the World Cup? That's it for me, thank you!"
Li Yue listened carefully to his question, and at the same time thought about how to answer it in his mind.
