Chapter 60: Three Visits to the Thatched House
AFTER SAMSUNG AND APPLE'S IPOD PATENT DISPUTE TURNED INTO A THREE-WAY DISPUTE,
Originally, it was supposed to be the Lantern Festival when Quan Baoya went home alone, but it became Gu Cheng temporarily buying air tickets, and then bringing a lot of girls to Seoul to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In addition to Quan Baoya, Gu Cheng also brought his cousin Pan Jieying to cover. On some occasions, if you need to take care of the people on the Samsung side and let the other party "look at the thatched house", you can also take your cousin out to block the first chat.
For example, if the three stars don't open their eyes and send a small character over, wouldn't it be very faceless if Gu Cheng met him in person? At this time, Pan Jieying needs to come out for an interview, and Gu Cheng can pretend to be disdainful and pretend to be arrogant, so as not to fall into prestige. And Pan Jieying also has a certain relationship with the Quan family, and it is not ashamed to say that she has been to the Lantern Festival.
There are also individual legal staff.
In the end, she also brought Cheerilee, who went back to her hometown to visit relatives by the way, which was regarded as a welfare and vacation for her.
Originally, Cheerilee was also supposed to have a long holiday during the New Year, but in order to reconcile the contradiction between the two departments of "Miracle MU" operated by Zhu Jun and the company's original "Legend", Cheerilee, who is responsible for supervising the unspoken rules of the company's internal distribution resources, has been busy recently.
Every accusation of Zhu Jun's "small group interests" reported by the legendary operation department needs to be investigated by people from the supervision department after it arrives at CPO Pan Jieying.
When I got down at Incheon Airport, Quan Shunyu had already sent a car to pick him up. After sending all the men and three girls to the downtown area of Seoul, Cheerilee said goodbye and went home, while Gu Cheng took her sisters to Quan's house.
"Why did you go to Olympic Avenue? Didn't you go to Handong Road?"
As soon as the driver and bodyguard drove the car across the Yongdong Bridge on the Han River, Gu Cheng found that the route was different from last year, so he asked.
Gu Cheng knew that Olympic Avenue was a villa area, because he had also bought a villa there to live in when his grandmother returned to his hometown to visit relatives or go on vacation, which was considered filial piety.
Fortunately, Quan Baoya, who knew about it, immediately explained: "My family has just moved to a villa by the Han River, and I don't live in an apartment on Handong Road." It's not far from the house you bought for your aunt and grandmother, and I forgot to tell you. β
Land in Seoul is expensive, and there are almost no villa areas in the core urban area, only high-rise apartments. Even in a place like Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, where nobles gather, the best houses are townhouses with almost no gardens at best.
However, in the northernmost part of Gangnam District, near the Han River, there is a long and narrow villa area, because it was found that the alluvial geology of the river beach at the corner of the Han River was particularly obvious during the planning, and the geological foundation of any high-rise building could not withstand the pressure, so it was changed to a villa area with less than three floors.
This is the only villa area in Gangnam-gu. When the car drove to the door, Gu Cheng visually inspected it, and it was probably a trendy villa with a house covering an area of 400 square meters, including the garden.
I don't know what happened inside the villa, but the exterior scenery alone is very exquisite. A circular marble pool with a faΓ§ade curtain wall fountain was made around the house. The wall washer under the sink leaves a dream-like mottled phantom on the exterior wall of the dry-hung stone under the action of the curtain wall water mist.
It seems that in the past two years, Quan Baoya has attracted money rapidly, and the Quan family has become more generous. The villa here can't be done without tens of billions of dollars.
"The place where I live is still like this, and I don't know how much to waste on the photoelectric bill. β
Pan Jieying is frugal by nature, but the girls are all beautiful and vain. Seeing the villa of the Quan family, she was a little dissatisfied with the White Horse apartment where she and her cousin lived in Qiantang.
"After a few months of negotiation with Sun Zhengyi, our family will also build a big manor. Pan Jieying said secretly in her heart. At present, it has been 03 years, and the domestic real estate market will enter the price increase channel this year, and the categories of various projects have begun to diversify.
The group stayed in the villa of the Quan family, and Gu Cheng gave his uncle and aunt symbolic holiday gifts, and everything returned to silence.
β¦β¦
Gu Cheng lived in Quan's house for two days, and on the second day of the Lantern Festival, early in the morning, there was a broker from the Samsung consortium who had contacted Quan Shunyu, who made an appointment to visit the New Year and talk about things by the way.
After Quan Shunyu answered the phone, he told Gu Cheng about the situation.
"What is the identity of the person who came? I don't see the little fish and shrimp. Gu Cheng drank Junshan silver needles and asked calmly.
Quan Shunyu naturally knew everything: "It's the legal director of Samsung's entertainment electronics division, named Song Renji." β
When Gu Cheng heard this, he was completely interested: "This kind of small role, and I am not qualified to promise additional conditions in business, what is there to talk about? Could it be that Samsung is going to help me pay some legal fees to send me away? No, just say that I went out for a walk." β
Quan Shunyu also wanted to persuade him to give some face, but he couldn't persuade him, so he had to give up.
Gu Cheng took his cousin and followed the bodyguards, and went out to soak in Qingtan Cave.
After a while, Song Renji came to pounce.
Quan Shunyu was not rude, and left Song Renji for tea according to the normal reception, and finally left Song Renji an address and asked him to go to the legal secretary brought by Gu Cheng to be polite to him.
Dongyi people also like to drink tea, but the taste is strange, like yellow tea or Pu'er. Pure raw green tea can't stand the stomach under a light diet (theophylline is anti-greasy, and carnivorous nomads need it most.) But Dongyi people eat less meat, cook vegetables without oil, very vegetarian, and have to do the opposite. οΌ
According to the degree of fermentation of tea, the orthodox division can be divided into non-fermented green tea, semi-fermented oolong tea, and fully fermented black tea. However, in recent years, in order to further force differentiation, over-fermented black tea and slightly fermented yellow tea have also been distinguished from the original classification system.
Junshan Silver Needle is the closest variety to Yi-style yellow tea in China, which is slightly fermented on the basis of traditional green tea and produces a layer of fine hairs like hoarfrost.
After Gu Cheng brought some white silver needles to the Quan family, he immediately became the top grade for the Quan family to entertain distinguished guests.
Song Renji pondered in the Quan Mansion for a while and hit a soft nail. In the end, I only saw Gu Cheng's negotiation assistant, and learned a tragic condition that "if you only talk about authorization fees and legal fees, and do not involve the terms of private market sharing, then there is no need to see Mr. Gu", and went back to resume his life.
After returning to the Samsung Electronics headquarters, Song In-ki immediately reported the situation to his direct leader, Choi Sung-ji, the head of the entertainment electronics division:
"Minister, I went to Director Quan's mansion in the morning to meet that Gu Cheng. But he excused himself and said that he was here for a festival or a tour, and he happened to go out for a walk. Only a secretary was left, and if he didn't talk about the conditions for market sharing, there was no need to see him. β
After Cui Chengzhi heard this, he was quite surprised, and he didn't understand Gu Cheng's shelf: "What? He is just a small character worth only a billion yuan, and he is even more a newcomer in the field of consumer electronics, so he dares to talk to our big Samsung like this? Does he think he is Apple?"
"Then we should ...... next"
"Let's let it dry first, so that he doesn't know how thick the sky is. β
Cui Chengzhi instructed Song Renji not to make further arrangements for the time being, and to kill Gu Cheng's prestige first.
β¦β¦
The next afternoon, Suwon, Lee Mansion.
Because Dongyi's urban planning is relatively westernized, the five chaebols, like the rich people in the United States, do not like to live in the city center - just like the top richest people in Los Angeles never buy villas in the city, but have to buy Beverly Hills in Hollywood. Silicon Valley tycoons in the San Francisco Bay Area will never live in the city, and will definitely buy a rustic estate along Highway 101
In Dongyi, almost all of the estates of the five chaebols are concentrated in Suwon, a satellite city of Seoul - about 30 kilometers away from the downtown area of Seoul and Incheon Airport.
A high-end Cadillac drove from afar, and the guards of the Li Mansion looked at the license plate from a distance, then opened the electronically controlled carved iron door without checking. The car drove straight to the door of the villa, and a man in his forties and fifties walked down. He is Kwon Ji-hyun, the head of Samsung Electronics' mobile business unit, and he came to meet with President Lee Jae-young today to talk about something.
Lee Jae-young is not only the president of Samsung Group, but also the president of Samsung Electronics, the largest subsidiary of Samsung Group. After all, the electronics industry is the largest and most important fist business of Samsung Group, with market value and marketing accounting for about 30% of the entire group.
It is said that as Kwon Ji-hyun, he and Lee Zairong have a direct subordinate relationship, and some things can be said when Lee Zairong goes to the company in a few days. But today's topic is a bit out of bounds and sensitive, so he has to come to the house to pay a visit.
The subordinates of the Lee Mansion were naturally familiar with Kwon Ji-hyun, and after making him tea, they asked him to wait by the fireplace in the hall.
After a while, the door to the hall on the second floor opened, and there was a sound of leather shoes. Kwon Ji-hyun immediately stood up from the sofa, afraid of losing his manners. But in just two seconds, before he could turn around, he could tell from the sound of leather shoes that the person who came downstairs was not the president.
Because there is only the sound of a woman's high heels.
Downstairs is a beauty who looks like Song Hye Kyo, and is the same age as Song Hye Kyo.
After Kwon Zhixuan saw it clearly, he immediately bowed his head and bowed: "Hello Third Miss." β
"Uncle Quan doesn't have to be polite. What about my brother? He'll have to wait a while. I have a send-off party in the evening, so I won't talk to you. After the girl finished speaking coldly and modestly, she left by her own care.
"The third lady is at her own convenience. Kwon Ji-hyun kept bowing his head slightly, not looking at the girl's face.
It turned out that this girl was the president's youngest sister, Lee Yunxin. I just graduated from Seoul University at the age of 22 this year. Don't look at her young age, her father Lee Kun-hee loves her the most among his three daughters, and has transferred many of his hotel, real estate, and entertainment industry assets to her name, and Li Yunxin already has more than $2 billion in personal property at a young age.
(Note: In Japan and South Korea, the "chairman" is equivalent to our chairman, and the "president" is equivalent to the CEO.) Family-style chaebols usually pass on the president to their son when their father retires due to lack of energy, and he retains the status of chairman, that is, the majority shareholder and chairman. It will be kept until the father is dying, and it will be passed on to that son. οΌ
Li Yunxin has been very strict with her family since she was a child, and she finally graduated during the winter vacation, and wanted to go out to play crazy with a group of poor girlfriends in college, but she was regarded as "losing the dignity of the family" by her father Li Kunxi, who was in New York for the elderly, and was angry that she continued to go to New York for graduate studies this semester, and was not allowed to stay in Seoul to make friends with those fox friends who had no status.
As for entrance exams...... Backed by the network of the Samsung Foundation, no matter what country or university in the world, these people do not need to take exams, and they can enroll with a phone call.
Tonight is a farewell party for her to say goodbye to her poor girlfriends, and her family doesn't want her to associate with these poor people, so she won't invite those friends from college to the Li Mansion for a banquet, and would rather spend money to find a place outside.
Kwon Ji-hyun continued to sit for a while, drank a cup of tea, and finally waited for Lee Jae-young to invite him to the study.
Kwon Ji-hyun straightened his clothes, followed the attendant upstairs, and met Lee Jae-young, who was still working on documents at the desk.
"The president has worked hard!"
"Sit down. I have to come to my house to talk about something. β
