Out of the Oriental Culture Hotel, in time for the rush hour of traffic, seeing the traffic congestion on the road in front of the hotel, it was difficult to move an inch, so I temporarily decided to have a banquet for Moriyamano, Kenji Yamamoto and others at a nearby exquisite Hangzhou Gang restaurant, and at the same time invited Samsung's Lee Jae-so and Kim Shan Yong, just to put pressure on Toshiba. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, but it is indeed exquisite.

Under the guidance of the waiter, I walked into the box, the space of the box was very small, the seats in the inner corner were actually curved corner double leather sofas around the round table, somewhat weird, and there were several leather backrest chairs on the outside.

Serving a guest at such a restaurant may be considered stingy. However, it is true that it is due to traffic congestion, so I think it can be forgiven.

Zhang Ke motioned to Zhai Danqing to live on the sofa in the corner first, the light in the box was not very bright, Zhai Danqing's clear eyes turned, and then walked in against the table. Zhang Ke didn't think much about it, as the hosts, they had to take the initiative to make weird-looking sofas and let the guests sit on the chairs outside. He also thought that Zhou Yiping would take the initiative to sit on the sofa, but he didn't expect Zhou Yiping to pull out the chair next to him and sit down. When Zhang Ke entered the sofa, he touched Zhai Danqing's plump and elastic buttocks on the outside of his thighs, only to find that the two of them wanted to sit comfortably on this sofa, and their buttocks inevitably had to be next to each other.

Zhang Ke didn't dare to deliberately take advantage of Zhai Danqing, quietly moved out, turned her head to look at Zhai Danqing, and there was a trace of uneasiness in her eyes: It's really strange! This reminded him of the situation on the island of Hot Spring Lake when he ran into Zhai Danqing wrapped in a bath towel and fled in a hurry.

Moriyamano and Kenji Yamamoto are typical RB people, who are too serious and humble at work, but when they go to the wine table with two glasses of wine, they can relax.

"This glass of wine should be drunk for iPlayer to do well in the RB market......"

Moriyamano raised a toast, Lee Jae-so, Kim Nam-yong can only follow the toast and drink, they are in China, after all, they are not very familiar with the situation of the RB market, and the specific sales of iPlayer in RB are not very clear, since Moriyamano can toast this move, presumably Kumho's electronic products have just entered the RB market and achieved good results.

For other electronics manufacturers, RB is the most difficult market, many European and American electronics giants have lost in the RB market, Kumho's good results are good, but it arouses Lee Jae-so's curiosity, but it is inconvenient to ask in public.

These market data, Zhang Kecai did not hide from Lee Jae-so, and after touching the wine glass with Moriyamano, he said with a smile: "Compared with the 300,000 MD sales in the RB market in the same period, the sales volume of iPLAYER in the RB market in March was just over 10,000 pieces, which is too insignificant......"

"Zhang Jun don't be presumptuous, the number of 10,000 pieces can far exceed the expectations of Sony and Panasonic." Moriyamano said.

Lee Jae-so was secretly shocked when he heard this, he had predicted that the break-even point of the iPlayer in the RB market would be about 10,000 units per month, so that Kumho could continue to develop the RB market through the profits obtained from the RB market and would have a slight surplus, and would not choose to quit because he could not afford the excessive cost of market development.

This number means that Kumho has only been in the RB market for two months to gain a foothold, although the sales of 10,000 pieces seem to be insignificant, but compared to those European and American electronics giants who have failed in the RB market, this is already an achievement that Kumho can be proud of, and they are still promoting a new electronic product on the market.

Lee Jae-so was jealous and envious in his heart, and he only exchanged glances with Kim Nam-yong, and had no intention of speaking.

Moriyamano seemed to be relaxed after drinking, but he didn't forget the goal of his trip, he said what he said just now, he was just worried that Kumho had been talking about cooperation with Samsung, looking at Lee Jae-so's expression, it seemed that this worry was a little redundant. Of course, it may be a little redundant at this time, which does not mean that Kumho will not cooperate with Samsung. He still clearly remembered the situation when Zhang Ke and the three-star little princess Li Xinyu stood intimately, and Chi Zuo's Chi Zuo Xiuzang didn't say anything when he saw it, but his stomach was fried.

If the young man in front of him has any right object in the business world, only Li Xinyu of the Lee Kunxi family has this identity and the beauty of a hero, who knows if the young man in front of him will deliberately befriend Samsung because of Li Xinyu's beauty. The Lee Kun-hee family has always been extremely close to young people with business talents.

At this time, Lee Jae-so determined that the purpose of Moriyamano's visit to China was to negotiate with Kumho on the licensing of DMP player product technology, and Toshiba was really tempted by DMP technology, even though he issued a statement of avoidance after stabbing the media, he couldn't help but send someone to China to secretly contact Kumho headquarters.

Lee Jae-so tapped his fingers on the table and thought to himself: In addition to the sales of iPlayer in the RB market, Toshiba can guess the total sales of its DPM player products in the global market based on the shipments of flash memory chips from its semiconductor division to Kumho, and what is this number?

It is really pleasant to have a desire to know the answer, but not to ask.

Of course, Moriyamano knows this data, and in March, the total sales of DMP players in the global market exceeded 40,000 units, excluding the RB market.

For a brand new consumer electronics product that has just hit the market, the results of the first month are already staggering.

When Japanese electronics manufacturers joined forces to promote MD players to the global market, the results in the first month were only slightly better than Kumho's, but the promotion and brand operation capabilities of Japanese electronics manufacturers in the global market were by no means comparable to Kumho's global partners at this time.

Perhaps this has proved to a certain extent that DMP is indeed an epoch-making electronic product.

Because Zhang Ke pulled Lee Jae-so and Kim Nam-yong to the scene, Mori Yamano and Yamamoto Kenji could not introduce the conversation to the main topic at all, but Mori Yamano's intention to go to China this time, Zhang Ke was completely clear in his heart, but he was not sure of Toshiba's determination to introduce DMP product technology.

Previously, Kumho's global partners, except for Scopper, all adopted the model of entrusting Kumho OEM production to promote DPM products in the global market, so when DMP was launched, it had different brands in various regional markets around the world.

In view of the excellent results of DMP products when they were first launched, some of the more adventurous partners prefer to directly obtain the authorization of DMP product technology rather than simple OEM sales. Licensing product technology, self-organization of production can get more benefits, and in the market development can be the greatest limit to get rid of Kumho's control, in addition, in the licensed product technology can further develop more competitive DMP player products.

At this time, a number of companies began negotiations with Kumho.

Two months ago, after the Tokyo media revealed that Okamura Ki had visited Aida's subsidiary in Japan, under pressure from within the Mitsui chaebol, Toshiba chose to avoid and suspended negotiations with Kumho, but it does not mean that Toshiba has completely blocked the way to enter DMP product technology, but more of a trade-off.

Although I am very optimistic about the market prospects of DMP products, but after all, there is no market evidence to support, the company's senior management to adopt a conservative avoidance strategy has nothing to blame, two months have passed, including iPlayer, DMP player products have been initially recognized by the market, and the momentum is violent, Toshiba is ready to move again, it is not an unimaginable thing.

Toshiba needs a portable audio product to reverse the defeat in the MD market competition with Sony, Hitachi, Sharp and other Japanese electronics manufacturers, Toshiba also sees that once the DMP player is popular all over the world, it will bring the first large-scale commercial application of flash memory technology, Toshiba wants to occupy an advantage in the flash memory technology market, and needs to be the first to take closer cooperation with Kumho, at least than Toshiba's competitors in flash memory technology, Samsung, Intel to be one step ahead.

The atmosphere of the dinner was warm, Zhang Ke also drank a few more glasses of wine, the wine was so hot that he almost forgot the grievances between him and Lee Jae-so, and finally put his arm around Lee Jae-so's shoulder, patted Mori Shanye's shoulder and said: "When you are in China, I asked Zhou Yiping to accompany you, if you have any requirements for Kumho, you can mention it to him......

In front of the restaurant, each got into his car and left.

Zhang Ke sat in the car and deliberately called Zhou Yiping into his car, although the three people in the back compartment of the Cadillac would not feel crowded, Zhai Danqing still sat against the door to avoid next to Zhang Ke's body.

"You can accompany Mori Yama Ye around these days, go to Haizhou, go to Jianye, in short, don't talk about anything in depth, just send this little RB back to RB," Zhang Ke smiled and instructed Zhou Yiping, saying, "It's not a particularly good time now, when the global monthly sales of the player exceed 100,000 units, and the company and Intel start negotiations on flash memory technology, it may be the right time, and it will be delayed for another two or three months." Kumho's requirements cannot be met only by Moriyamano; Even if Gangmura Mu came over, he couldn't make a decision. But when Gangmuraki comes, I can put Kumho's ambitions on the table and talk about it......"

After ordering a few more things, he let Zhou Yiping get out of the car.

Zhai Danqing asked him at this time: "I think Samsung's Lee Jae-so is quite tempted, if Samsung also puts forward a request for cooperation, how do you decide?" ”

"At this time, Samsung looks weaker than Toshiba, but Samsung's ability to do the market is very strong, especially the ability to adapt to the Chinese market is very strong, if possible, it is better to set up more obstacles for them, Toshiba is the ......bone we must gnaw down," Zhang Ke said, history also proves that Toshiba has a more open attitude than Samsung and Intel in flash memory technology, and the key is to have the strength to let Toshiba choose to cooperate with you; Zhang Ke remembered another thing and asked Zhai Danqing, "You seem to be a little afraid of me today, what's the matter?" ”
