The anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia have aroused great concern in the international community and the strong indignation of the Chinese community around the world, protests and demonstrations have occurred one after another, and the US government has also officially recognized the anti-Chinese riots that occurred in Jakarta, Indonesia on May 9 as a serious racial discrimination disaster, and officially decided to accept the "asylum" applications of some Indonesian Chinese, and in just a few days, nearly 50,000 Indonesian Chinese have been transferred to Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and other countries for temporary refuge.

On 15 May, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Ye Zhenmin went to Thailand for an economic aid cooperation visit, accompanied by Sun Shangyi, Ge Mingjian, Guo Songyan, Chen Wencong, and others, and arranged for representatives of Chinese businessmen from Indonesia and other Southeast Asian regions to meet with Ye Zhenmin in Bangkok, Thailand.

Zhang Ke neither accompanied nor was he in a hurry to leave Hong Kong.

For the first sale of the new mobile phone i198 in Hong Kong on Saturday, May 16, the Hong Kong branch prepared a grand event, and Lu Qingsheng, vice president of the group in charge of mobile communications business, made a special trip to Hong Kong to participate in the event, Zhang Ke naturally will not be stingy to stay in Hong Kong for two more days.

At the beginning of May, two mobile phone companies under Huaxia Electronics, Unitrust and Lianxun, launched four new mobile phones one after another, and Kumho immediately officially launched the pre-order and advertising of the new mobile phone i198 in Hong Kong.

In the past two weeks, i198 in Hong Kong through the cooperative seller Fortress Electric pre-order sales exceeded 1,000 units, this time, the Hong Kong branch in the financial world building in Central for the first batch of i198 mobile phone pre-order users through Fortress Electric Appliances held a grand first sale.

The Hong Kong branch carefully prepared a wonderful jazz band performance and fashion tasting cocktail party at the event site to build momentum, Zhang Ke and Tang Jing rushed to the scene, and many pre-order users who got the AIDA i198 for the first time have made the event site a little crowded. At the beginning of the event, it was not mentioned that Jiang Daier would come to the event as a special guest, but Jiang Daier's arrival made the event lively.

Zhang Ke and Tang Jing didn't join in the excitement, they wanted to say hello and wait for a while, and walked to the table full of red and white wine, champagne and exquisite refreshments. Although the event site was a little crowded, it was not chaotic, after all, most of the users who pre-ordered the new mobile phone through Fortress Electric in advance were white-collar workers and elites, and even if there were many fans of Jiang Daier among the guests, they would not be particularly nonsensical fanatical.

Zhang Ke and Tang Jing each took a glass of red wine, and happened to see Sun Jingxiang also in the venue, standing in the corner talking to Jiang Wei. Tang Jing raised her hand excitedly and waved it over there, she hadn't talked on the phone before, and she didn't know who she would meet here, before going upstairs, Tang Jing also threatened Zhang Ke: "If you see Xu Si, you have to let me take two bites." ”

Fortunately, Xu Si had other things to delay today, and Zhang Ke didn't have to worry about giving Tang Jing a bite.

In addition to pre-order users who have time to attend the event, the Hong Kong branch also invited some celebrities from the business, fashion and entertainment circles to build momentum for today's first sale. In the deliberately created warm atmosphere of the cocktail party, it did not bring in too much sadness and indignation about the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia, after all, normal life and business still have to go on.

Sun Jingxiang walked over with Jiang Wei with a glass of one-third of the red wine in her hand, and said with a smile and some surprise: "But no one told me that you would be there in person......" and said with a smile, "Ah, I can think of it." ”

"Fortunately, I didn't meet in the restaurant, and you were surprised to see that I would dine in person," Zhang Ke knew that Sun Jingxiang said that Xu Si did not attend today's event, but fortunately, Tang Jing and Xu Si had acquiesced to each other's existence, he smiled and covered up the past and said, "I will leave Hong Kong tomorrow, and there is no special place to pass the time, so I will come here with Xiaojing to have a look......"

Sun Jingxiang was an invited guest, she and Jiang Wei both dressed up to attend, and Zhang Ke and Tang Jing were dressed more casually, just like the pre-order users who came to receive their mobile phones today.

"Century Huayin can be regarded as having a cash cow ......" Zhang Ke looked at Jiang Dai'er, who was surrounded by fans and needed on-site security guards to maintain order, and said to Sun Jingxiang with a smile.

Jiang Daier's first solo album "Snow in the Winter Sea" is mixed with Chinese and Cantonese songs, although it has a fairly good level and could have been recognized by the market, but the music market at the end of 96 was fiercely competitive, and as the newly debuted Century Huayin could use limited funds, and the experience in marketing and packaging was not enough, Jiang Daier was not able to become an instant hit, and it can only be said that it laid a pretty good foundation for her future acting career.

Jiang Daier has a bright and shining idol appearance, a tall figure, smart and personal eyes, a clear and characteristic voice texture, and good singing skills, how can she not be popular? In the second half of '97, Century Huayin, which received financial support from the family, had a greater choice to acquire excellent original music, and Sun Jingxiang also made up her mind to recruit famous Hong Kong musicians such as Liang Sijun, Dai Wenqi, and Pan Xieqing into Century Huayin's music business to expand Century Huayin's music business. The direction of Jiang Daier's music career planning is also to look at the entire Asian Chinese music market and give up Cantonese songs. Although it is only for the Chinese music market in the future, there is no deliberate plan to take any route or deployment, constantly listening to songs and selecting songs, Sun Jingxiang even let Jiang Daier participate in the creation of songs, and the recording was also made according to Jiang Daier's mood at the time, and the second album "Obsession" with Jiang Daier's strong personal style received an excellent response in the Chinese music market as soon as it was launched.

Of course, Century Huayin has also received excellent market returns.

Hearing Zhang Ke say this, Sun Jingxiang laughed, opened the exquisite CK Kun bag, took out the new mobile phone released by Kumho this time, raised it in his hand, and said, "How can I get this cash cow to make money?" He asked Tang Jing again, "Did he give you special treatment this time?" ”

"I haven't used that phone yet." Tang Jing said with a smile that her mobile phone was just for Zhang Ke to take for software and hardware upgrades.

"I'm really envious, my mobile phone was given to me by Sister Jiang through the back door, but unfortunately it's not unique," Sun Jingxiang put away the phone with a smile, "It's still embarrassing not to take it out......"

"Then let Jiang Wei never send a new mobile phone to Sister Sun in the future, even if it can't be said to be unprecedented, it can be regarded as a peerless in a sense......" Zhang Ke said with a smile.

The mobile phone in Sun Jingxiang's hand is i198Limited commemorative edition,The orange-red mirror piano panel seems to be evaporated with a thin layer of metal film,Compared with the new mobile phone on sale,There are no more than two LED light sources under the number keys,Open the mobile phone or answer the call in the dim light,Two different colors of LED light sources will light up respectively,Complement each other with the blue screen,Both dazzling and beautiful。 Due to the large power consumption of LED light sources, the limited edition i198 uses Toshiba's latest lithium polymer battery, and the whole machine is priced at more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is Kumho's work to test the water of Hong Kong's high-end mobile phone market.

"Heh......" Jiang Wei, who was on the side, suddenly chuckled, her eyes looked at the entrance, and her expression was still a little weird.

Zhang Ke looked sideways, and saw Li Zaizhu and Li Xinyu's cousin standing at the entrance not far away, of course Jiang Wei didn't know Li Xinyu, but Li Xinyu looked at Zhang Ke happily and the contradictory look that wanted to raise his hand to say hello but stopped Jiang Wei saw it in his eyes, and naturally knew that the big boss had a very familiar relationship with the stunning girl who appeared at the entrance.

Probably because she saw Tang Jing standing beside Zhang Ke, Li Xinyu restrained her surprised look when she met the deceased, and only smiled when Zhang Ke turned his face to look over, which can be regarded as a peaceful smile between acquaintances.

Sun Jingxiang and Tang Jing both stood with their backs to the entrance, seeing that it was just Li Xinyu's flat smile, they felt that Jiang Wei's smile just now was a little weird, they didn't know Li Xinyu, and thought that Li Xinyu was greeting Jiang Wei.

"What's the matter, you know that girl? It's so beautiful, there are too many beautiful girls today, and it seems that we have withered sadness," Sun Jingxiang said jokingly, "Even if you know each other, don't help Zhang Ke introduce you!" ”

Sun Jingxiang said this, Tang Jing glanced at Zhang Ke, looked at the corner of Zhang Ke's mouth with a smile, and said, "Look, he is moved." ”

"That man is the special manager of Samsung's company in China, but I didn't expect him to come here in Hong Kong to join in the fun," Zhang Ke immediately changed his slightly weaker tone, "That girl is also Samsung's ......" It sounds like both a statement and a questioning tone.

Jiang Wei will not dismantle Zhang Ke's platform yet, and said: "There are several users who pre-order in bulk today, which makes our previous pre-order sales performance of 1,000 units actually have to be greatly discounted." Previously, we invited personnel from Samsung's Hong Kong office...... I didn't expect them to send someone over, I really didn't expect it. ”

There have been new mobile phones handed over to professional electronic media evaluation before, but other mobile phone manufacturers are also strictly restricted from accessing Kumho's new mobile phones through this way, like Samsung, which began to pay attention to Kumho, and regarded Kumho as a competitor, companies that want to get Kumho's main products this time can only get new mobile phones at the first sale as early as possible through pre-ordering. Lee Jae-so's public appearance is unexpected.

"Ahh Sun Jingxiang suddenly came to her senses, she heard Jingmeng say that Li Xinyu, there are many beautiful girls these years, beautiful and so sexy, it is rare, especially Li Xinyu's figure is so hot and her face gives people an extremely pure feeling, which often leaves a deeper impression - in short, it is difficult for Zhang Ke to forget this face after seeing it, of course, Zhang Ke is greedy for women, and his ideas cannot be used as the standard of ordinary people.

Zhang Ke later had several contacts with Li Xinyu in Beijing, Haizhou and Tokyo, and very few people knew about it, and Sun Jingxiang naturally didn't know, and she didn't think of going anywhere else, pointing to Li Zaizhu and Li Xinyu and asking Zhang Ke: "Are they the people who clashed with you in Jianye last autumn?" ”

"What did you hear Jing Meng say?" Zhang Ke asked.

Sun Jingxiang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "When Jingmeng talked about it, I thought this girl was talking nonsense, but it was true. This smile is also weird.

"What did Jingmeng say?" Tang Jing asked curiously.

Sun Jingxiang whispered in Tang Jing's ear, Jiang Wei also leaned over to listen, and then the three women laughed.

Of course, Zhang Ke could guess that the three women were talking about Li Xinyu's ** that can be described as the temptation of the devil, he turned around and picked up another glass of white wine from the dining table and drank it, thinking that he still didn't want to greet Li Xinyu in front of these women.

Although Kumho and Samsung have begun to fight openly and secretly in the domestic market, Zhang Ke and Lee Jae-so still have some small grievances, but as a company-level communication is hypocritical and perfunctory, Lu Qingsheng and Lai Jichun have already greeted Lee Jae-so and Li Xinyu, who had just entered the venue, and Jiang Wei also walked over with a wine glass to greet him.

Due to the launch in the Hong Kong market, the promotion of the new mobile phone does not emphasize that the i198 is currently the only all-Chinese supported mobile phone that first appeared on the market, and only some professional media evaluation reports have mentioned the full Chinese input function of the i198. It not only supports Chinese display, but also develops a mobile phone that supports Chinese input of digital disks, and mobile phones also carry Chinese SMS functions - the domestic market has not supported Chinese input mobile phones for sale, and telecommunications' SMS business has not been valued at all.

The main market of i198 is still in China, and the most concerned about the mobile phone manufacturers who regard Kumho as a competitor is the numeric key Chinese input technology developed by Kumho this time.

Lee Jae-so greeted Lu Kyung-sang, his eyes still staring at Zhang Ke standing in the distance, he never thought that Kumho was the first to develop a commercial digital health Chinese input technology.

In '94, Ericsson was the first to launch a mobile phone with Chinese display technology in the Chinese market, which was a great success, and last year even pulled Motorola from the altar where the Chinese market share once reached 90%, which seems to have been able to show that the degree of support for Chinese determines the degree of adaptation of products to the Chinese market to a certain extent.

Many overseas mobile phone manufacturers have been planning to launch all-Chinese digital mobile phones with Chinese input function in the Chinese market, and Samsung also wants to transplant numeric key Chinese input technology on new mobile phones introduced to the Chinese mainland market.

On the one hand, the SMS business operated by China Mobile is currently extremely unimportant, and the market demand for numeric key Chinese input technology is not particularly urgent, on the other hand, several overseas companies that have mastered numeric key Chinese input technology are offering very high prices, and overseas mobile phone manufacturers have plans, but they have not taken immediate action. It wasn't until the beginning of May that Hong Kong's Telecom Media Weekly published an evaluation report on Kumho's upcoming Aida i198 mobile phone, and these overseas mobile phone manufacturers suddenly woke up: such a technology of great significance to the Chinese market actually made Kumho break through first!

However, the Hong Kong market does not pay much attention to the number key Chinese input technology, and only Liao Liao mentioned a few times in the evaluation report, and overseas manufacturers who cannot contact Kumho's new models naturally do not know what level Kumho's technology has reached, and their current reaction can only be to negotiate with an American company and a Canadian company that own this technology on the one hand, and wait for Kumho to launch a new mobile phone before they can conduct a special evaluation of Kumho's mastered technology.

HG's domestic mobile communications are all using CDMA network, Samsung's digital mobile phone technology is not suitable for China's mobile communication network, it can be said that Samsung's current mobile phone technology in the Chinese market can only be regarded as second-rate.

From the Aida i19 mobile phone, Lee Jae-so saw the characteristics of Kumho's mobile phone business, attached importance to market development, and maximized the use of product design to make up for the lack of core technology, which is precisely Samsung's main strategy to open up the Chinese mobile phone market, so how can Lee Jae-so relax his attention to Kumho's mobile phone business?

Lee Jae-so came to Hong Kong this time specifically for the first sale of the Aida i198 mobile phone, just to get the first hand information of the Aida i198 mobile phone, because Kumho has transplanted the number key Chinese input technology on the i198 mobile phone, Samsung had to change the next plan to launch the mobile phone in the Chinese market. Not only Samsung, but also Motorola, Ericsson, Philips and other companies have to change their plans to launch new mobile phones in the Chinese market, at least to give priority to the launch of mobile phones with full Chinese support, which does not mean that they can be launched if they are launched.

Aida i198 mobile phone, except for the most important number key Chinese input technology of competitors is deliberately covered, other performance is in order to cooperate with advertising are made by professional media to make detailed evaluation, Lee Jae-so can also collect detailed information.

i198 can be said to be a powerful upgrade of i19, inheriting the simple and elegant straight plate shape of i19, but the original slightly sharp details are modified to be more rounded, with a fuller blue screen display, more pleasant chord sounds. The most changed place is that the original i19 mobile phone sacrificed a lot of functions in order to ensure the lightness and simplicity of the whole machine, after half a year, the i198 mobile phone shows that Kumho has completely digested the digital mobile phone technology inherited from Deyi, and even has made great progress.

There is a product experience area at the event site, where a model lady wearing a leather dress and revealing a large area of snow-white skin demonstrates the mobile phone functions of i198 to users in the product experience area. Of course, Samsung's Hong Kong agency has pre-ordered i198 mobile phones, but Lee Jae-so can't test the Chinese input performance of i198 here, so it happened that the model lady in the experience area demonstrated Chinese input, paused greetings with Jiang Wei, Lu Qingsheng and others, and focused on the product experience area.

It was a result that Lee Jae-so did not want to see, and his eyes could feel that Kumho's Chinese input technology user experience performance was much more advantageous than the two companies he contacted, and sure enough, the Chinese developed Chinese input technology with natural advantages.

Lee Jae-so was faced with a difficult choice at this time: how to talk to Kumho about technology introduction?
