443 head-to-head

"I am glad that you are saying this, and that you are not carried away by anger, which is the demeanor and determination of a person at the helm of a large world group. But you remember what I said at the press conference, right? ”

Being able to say these words fully illustrates the truth that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, that is, after being with Tang Sen for a long time, Wang Shizi has practiced some MT skills on his lips. This also speaks volumes about the importance of making friends......

Wang Shizi's words did give Li Zairong the urge to smash the mobile phone out, but at this time he could only press this impulse, in fact, Wang Shizi's words are not wrong, at least as the current helmsman of a multinational group, Li Zairong can also tell the situation faced by Samsung Electronics.

As the largest enterprise under the Samsung Group, both the shareholders and the entire group cannot be capricious. Even if this matter is not resolved soon, he can imagine that when the stock market opens on Monday, the trend of Samsung's stock price will definitely not be reassuring. Of course, this is secondary, he has already received countless calls from major shareholders, and he feels the pressure on his shoulders.

In fact, as the founder of Samsung Group, the Lee family has always enjoyed aristocratic treatment in South Korea, especially the Samsung Group, which was strong enough in his father, and now the burden is on his shoulders because of physical discomfort, which is a great pressure. Especially now that he has just taken over the position of president of Samsung Electronics, he really can't afford too big a failure for a young man who wants to prove himself.

"Of course, what you're saying is that we at Samsung Electronics will not consider any form of cooperation with us until we at Samsung Electronics have made you feel sorry for you. So what does it mean to be a sincere apology? Li Zairong asked with a suppressed temperament.

Fortunately, this was just a private phone call, otherwise he would never have said it so bluntly.

"First of all, cancel the scheduled launch as you said before; Secondly, the price of Samsung Electronics' OEM for us will be reduced by 30% according to the price of the previous contract, and the OEM contract will be renewed for at least three years; In addition, Samsung Electronics can no longer use the smart home virtual technology provided by us free of charge, and must pay our $2 billion technical authorization deposit in advance, which will be settled according to the sales volume of Samsung Electronics' smart home products, and we will talk about the specific settlement method later; In addition, Samsung Electronics' smart home products must be integrated into our server system for unified management in the future. Samsung Electronics has to pay a management fee of $10 per device per year, and the management fee increases at a rate of 10 percent per year. ”

Wang Shizi put forward three requirements in one breath, obviously he had already thought about this problem, of course, these conditions were definitely enough for Li Zairong to make him worry. At this time, the cancellation of the 5G network press conference can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, Samsung Electronics has softened to Star Technology, but this is a trivial matter, that is, it has lost some face. But the conditions after that can be described as a knife to the bone.

You must know that because of the previous technical dependence, coupled with the small profits of foundry companies, the asking price of electronic components manufactured by Samsung Electronics for Star Technology is not high, and Star Technology has extremely high quality requirements, basically the foundry contract signed before. It would be good if Samsung Electronics could do it without losing money, and if it was reduced by 30% on the basis of this price, then it would be purely a loss-making business, and the three-year contract meant that Samsung Electronics would lose money for this business for three years......

Not to mention that it will cost another two billion dollars as a technology licensing deposit, and as for the integration of Samsung Electronics' products into the system of Star Technology, it will also cost money as a management fee......

Well, this price is indeed too great, it has been so big that it gives Li Zairong a headache, Li Zairong really couldn't imagine that after turning his face, this young man who once made him feel like he was quite easy to be moved, could become a vampire-like existence as soon as he changed his face.

That's right. In Li Zairong's view, Wang Shizi is really sucking blood......

"Wang Dong, your request is too much......"

"You mean there's no need to talk about it? So be it! Maybe you need some time to think about it! Of course, when you think about it, we at Star Technology will also consider maybe we can start a cooperation with another company. For example, Apple! I'm sure Mr. Cook will definitely be interested in our smart home products, and of course they have the technical capabilities to work with us and develop a product that works with Apple. Wang Shizi directly expressed his intention to stop the call.

"Wait, listen to me, Dong Wang. Your requirements are too high......"

"Is it demanding? Well, it's a bit higher than the previous contract we signed. But it is not we who have destroyed the basis of the previous friendly cooperation! Wang Shizi said-for-tat, "I think maybe you should calm down, think carefully before giving me a reply, give you a suggestion, hold a board meeting in the shortest possible time, listen to the report of the high-level, and then summarize everyone's ideas, and then we can continue to discuss this issue, I hope we can reach an agreement on the next call!" Of course, I am also very much looking forward to your determination to break your wrist. After speaking, Wang Shizi hung up the phone directly.

Strictly speaking, Wang Shizi, this is not a standard process for talking about business, but who has made Star Technology have the upper hand now? What's more, he has no money now!

Even if the chip in his body provides him with the most complete technology tree and countless materials according to the current industrial level of the earth, but if he wants to transform these materials in his mind into the finished product of the laboratory, it still takes a lot of money to pile up, so his expenses have always been very large, not to mention that most of his wealth is still in foreign mineral resources, and with the addition of Tang Sen's side exceeding the predetermined plan, the cash flow in his hands is really about to dry up.

And now Samsung Electronics is simply sending the handle to him, and without knocking on the pen, he simply feels sorry for the intelligence that the old man spent more than ten years giving him. Of course, the conditions he proposed were also carefully calculated. All the conditions that Samsung Electronics promised him were definitely better than a shot and two scattered. After all, Samsung Electronics' previous investment is there, in order to meet the requirements of Star Technology to upgrade the production line, smart home investment, if all the water is lost, even Samsung, it will hurt the muscles and bones.

Although the losses of re-signing a contract are indeed quite large, if they can occupy a part of the market with the help of Star Technology, these losses do not seem so unacceptable now...... (To be continued.) )
