Chapter 429: Blue House

(.) Lee Jae-chrome regretted it, he regretted that he blindly dealt with Zhou Liwen under his will, just as Lee Kun-hee said that it was a stupid thing. At the same time, he regretted that he didn't take advantage of the opportunity at that time to be more thorough, if he completely tore his face with the OR company at that time, maybe Zhou Liwen was still in a predicament now, and he wouldn't be able to spare his energy to fight them.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, and Zhou Liwen's purpose of using Li Mengxi's father and son to take advantage of the scandalous case involving their father and son is also obvious. The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Zhou Liwen is using the contradictions within the Li family to provoke trouble, but so what? Now it is not Zhou Liwen who is charging into battle, but Li Mengxi and his son, how can Li Mengxi and his son, who have been suppressed by their father and son for so many years, let go of this opportunity? If it were him, maybe he would collude with Zhou Liwen, right?

"Father, can you talk to the president? Use other ways to reduce the influence of this matter, if we can calm down this matter as soon as possible and completely suppress the uncle, we can concentrate on dealing with Zhou Liwen" Lee Jae-chrome thought for a while and took the initiative to put forward an idea.

Lee Kun-hee looked at him and asked calmly, "Discuss with the president?" How to negotiate? And how to solve it? ”

"Of course, the big things are small, and the small things are small. For example, the incident a few years ago was not pardoned by the president in the end? Lee Jae-chrome said assumedly.

Lee Kun-hee shook his head slightly, his son is really naïve, does he think that the president of South Korea is a subordinate of Samsung? That's right, Samsung Group has a huge influence in South Korea, and it also has many supporters in the government, especially the current president has a good personal relationship with Lee Kun-hee, and even expressed positive opinions on Samsung Group's contribution in public.

But Lee Kun-hee is not a hairy boy, if the words of politicians can be believed, then the old sow can go up the tree. It's one thing to have a good relationship, but it's not everything, Lee Jae-hyun has a good relationship with the president, and it is said that he often sends beautiful women to the president to enjoy on the Blue House, is it because of this that the other party must support you?

At present, the whole of South Korea is in a uproar over the case of Samsung and himself, and the people with different opinions, including politicians, are arguing. However, Lee Kun-hee clearly saw that the top level of the government, including the Blue House, did not express their opinions, but only watched vaguely from the sidelines, which was obviously an attempt to use the incident to benefit from economic and other interests on behalf of the president.

Yes, Lee Kun-hee did get a pardon from the government a few years ago for being involved in a case, but don't forget that this pardon comes at a cost. In order to solve the incident, Samsung paid tens of millions of dollars in special funds, which allowed him to escape prison.

And now, it seems that the incident is repeating itself, and there are even signs of it getting worse. Such a good opportunity, if the president and other senior government officials do not take advantage of it, then they will not climb to the current position.

Lee Kun-hee knows very well that now the president is waiting for the two sides to make an offer, just like an auction, and whoever pays the highest price will be able to get the support of the government. And this time is different from last time with the mixing of Zhou Liwen and Li Mengxi's father and son, and it can't be settled at all without a little blood.

Just to get the government, Lee Kun-hee is not very worried, it's just a matter of how much money to pay, and he is very experienced in dealing with these politicians. But now he is facing not only the government, but also his sworn enemies Li Mengxi and his son, as well as Zhou Liwen who is hiding behind him, which is what makes Li Jianxi feel uneasy.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lee Kun-hee decided that he could no longer sit still and must fight back as soon as possible. On the same day, he talked with Lee Jae-chrome for a long time in the old house, and it was not until late at night that Lee Jae-chrom left in a hurry and rushed back to Seoul.

"Official letter notice from Samsung Group."

Or headquarters, group vice president Bill knocked on the door of Zhou Liwen's office, walked quickly to Zhou Liwen and solemnly placed a fax he had just received in front of him.

Zhou Liwen picked it up and looked at it, his expression did not change much, and he seemed to have known that the other party would do this.

"It seems that Samsung Group really can't help it, Lee Jae-hyun is good, things are going to unfold faster than we imagined"

"What's next?" Bill asked solemnly.

Zhou Liwen thought for a while and said: "It's still according to the reply discussed before, by the way, you can contact the major media separately and hold a press conference to officially announce this matter." ”

Bill nodded, it has reached the point where the bayonet is red, Samsung turned over the hole cards, or is not a soft egg, since they want to fight, then let's fight. What's more, if this matter had been born a few months in advance, maybe the OR company would have been caught off guard by the other party, but now the situation is different, although OR will suffer some losses, but from the overall comparison, Samsung's losses are far greater than them.

After Bill left, Zhou Liwen took the phone and called several senators from the same party who were also from the rich country. When Zhou Liwen decided to retaliate against Samsung Group, he was ready to do so, knowing that OR is an American company, and it is an influential multinational company in the world. The United States is a capitalist country, capital is supreme, and even politicians must consider the power of capital.

Moreover, the rich country system is a huge and loose system, and it is normal for people from the same party in the rich country system to cooperate with each other, and this is the political characteristic of the United States. Now, it's time for Zhou Liwen to need them to fulfill their promises, otherwise wouldn't the campaign funds he promised be spent in vain? Moreover, they are more effective in this matter than Zhou Liwen himself, and can even arouse the anger of the American people against the South Koreans and the Samsung Group.

Early the next morning, a big event was distributed from OR headquarters to the world with great speed. When the news was heard, the smartphone manufacturing industry, including the high-tech industry, and even ordinary users were taken aback. Because this news is actually the news of the break between OR and Samsung Group, the two smartphone manufacturers ranked first and second in the world. According to the press conference held by OR, OR informed the outside world that due to the unauthorized tearing up of cooperation by Samsung Group, it announced that it would stop providing excellent touch screen accessories to OR company, and at the same time shut down the laboratory jointly established by the two parties indefinitely. For this reason, OR Company will sue the other party in the U.S. District Court for the commercial breach of contract of Samsung Group, and at the same time, because of the irresponsible commercial breach of contract of Samsung Group, OR Company completely ceases cooperation with Samsung and withdraws the authorization to use the current Samsung mobile phone operating system.

After the news was released, the eyes of the United States, including the world, were focused on the breakdown of the cooperation between Samsung Group and OR. Immediately afterwards, several U.S. senators pointed out in interviews with the news media that the Samsung Group unilaterally tore up the cooperation regardless of the commercial contract, which was a naked challenge and persecution to the U.S. company. They believe that with the development of the ROK and the enhancement of its national strength in recent years, the national atmosphere in the ROK has become more and more serious, and in particular, various demonstrations, dissatisfaction, and resistance against the US military stationed in the ROK have also arisen from time to time. From these facts, then the Samsung Group's breach of contract against the OR company is not only against the OR company, it is likely to be against the national policy and interests of the entire US government, as an American, we will never allow such a perfidious thing, this is a challenge to the American business community, a challenge to the national interests of the United States, and a challenge to the free society of Western countries represented by the entire United States.

At the same time, Samsung Group also issued a news announcement, Samsung Group pointed out that the reason why Samsung Group interrupted cooperation with OR Company was not its fault, but that OR Company and Corning Company of the United States intended to acquire Samsung Corning, in an attempt to monopolize touch screen technology and production in this way. In order to protect itself, the Samsung Group has made several contacts with the OR company in an attempt to solve the problem in a more relaxed way. However, despite Samsung's opposition, the OR company insisted on going its own way, and as the world's No. 1 smartphone manufacturer, Samsung Group was forced to take this step.

At the same time, Samsung Group said to the outside world with a sincere attitude, three...

Star Group is a responsible enterprise, but also a conscientious company for the sake of consumers. If the OR company completely controls the technology and production of high-end mobile phone touch screens, it will inevitably lead to a high price increase for the huge number of smartphones currently used. This kind of monopolistic business has long been an inadmissible means in today's world economy, and the company has done so to the detriment of not only the interests of the Samsung Group, but also the interests of other smartphone manufacturers, including ordinary users.

As for the accusations against the US business community, including the interests of the US government and the challenge to the free society of Western countries, the Samsung Group denied it all, and they stated that this was purely a means for the OR company to kidnap public opinion, and hoped that people with brains and independent thinking ability would see the facts clearly and not be used by the OR company.

Immediately afterwards, the OR company stated again that the OR company denied the attempt to monopolize touch screen technology and production-for-tat, which was completely a means for Samsung Group to deliberately divert attention, and it was not OR Company but Samsung Group that really wanted to monopolize this technology and production.

Corning is an independent company, and OR has no shares in Corning (Zhou Liwen's shares are held by individuals), because Samsung Group tore up the cooperation without authorization, and OR transferred the supplier from Samsung Corning to Corning in the United States. At the same time, the OR company announced that in the case of changing the touch screen supplier, although the cost of OR's touch screen procurement will rise, for the benefit of consumers, the price of all existing smartphones of the OR company, including tablet products, will not rise by a penny, and even a global price reduction promotion will be carried out next week, breaking the shameless accusation of Samsung Group with facts.

Samsung was quick to react by saying that it was just a trick to disguise their real business strategy in the future. At the same time, in order to show their sincerity, Samsung Group also announced that it would carry out a global promotion of comprehensive product price reductions, calling on consumers to support Samsung Group and dedicate a heartfelt ...... for their own interests.

The two sides are like the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster, you go back and forth, each has its own reason, and all kinds of diametrically opposed statements are unpleasant. Ordinary people are like watching a big show, happily watching the two sides face each other, but for them, what do these two giants have to fight? All they care about is the product, and now the more they are there, the more the product will be promoted and reduced, which is a really good thing in the eyes of consumers.

A few days later, the legal documents filed by OR against Samsung Group were filed in the District Court by a team of lawyers formed by OR's legal department. At the same time, Samsung Group also immediately responded in South Korea, and they also countersued OR in Seoul, South Korea. From this point of view, it seems that a protracted lawsuit is about to begin, but the initiators of both sides, Zhou Liwen and Lee Kunxi, are very clear that these methods are only superficial, and there may be no winners and losers in this lawsuit at all, and the real core of this incident is only one point, that is, the two sides broke up and parted ways.

Although the time is a little late, it still makes sense for Samsung Group and Lee Kun-hee himself. On the surface, Samsung Group will pay a great price, but in fact, the break with OR is equivalent to cutting off Zhou Liwen's small action of using the cooperation between the two sides to stir up trouble in South Korea, and warn the other party in this way, so that the other party cannot unite Lee Jae-hyun unscrupulously, and at the same time avoid OR's resources and funds directly intervening in the internal affairs of the Lee family. And he can also divert the public's attention from the current incident that is bothering him to the current one to relieve his own pressure.

In addition, even if the company has channels from Corning and other companies in the United States, it is far inferior to the products of Samsung Group in terms of production volume and cost, which will inevitably bring some trouble to the opponent. As for Samsung Corning's acquisition, although the U.S. Corning headquarters has issued an acquisition letter to Samsung Group, Samsung Group has not made any reply at all. As long as Lee Kun-hee insists, what can the other party do if he does not sell Samsung Corning? It's a big deal to tear up the face again, anyway, the technology and factories are in their hands, and in the case that the cooperation has not expired, if the United States Corning unilaterally tears up the cooperation, the Samsung Group will still be eager to do it.

Like Li Jianxi, Zhou Liwen has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and what should come will always come, Zhou Liwen knows it very well in his heart. And both Li Jianxi and Zhou Liwen know that the real contest does not rely on what lip service it is, let alone on these mutual accusations now, which are all superficial and false. The real battlefield is in the shopping mall, in the collision of the strength of the two, and now the break between the two sides is equivalent to officially sounding the horn of war.

Blue House, a building that resembles the White House in the United States in a political sense, was once the imperial palace of the Goryeo Dynasty before being converted into the backyard of Gyeongbokgung Palace 142 years later by the Lee dynasty of Joseon. It wasn't until 192 years later that Japan colonized Korea and used this place as a governor's palace, and later Japan was defeated and it was called Gyeongmudae. In 196, the then president felt that Gyeongmudae's name and his name were offended, and deliberately changed the original name, resulting in the current name of the Blue House.

The Blue House is of course characterized by its blue tiles, as the name suggests, and the tiles of several buildings are azure in color, and the white wall tiles of the buildings stand out against the green lawns. Today, it is the official residence of the President of South Korea and is the center of the highest power in South Korea, just like the White House in the United States.

Lee Kun-hee, who had been hiding in the old house for a long time and had not shown up for a long time, quietly came to this place in a special car that afternoon, and when the car stopped in the passage on one side, Lee Kun-hee did not get out of the car immediately, but was first out of the car by his entourage, and only after confirming with the security personnel of the Blue House that there were no outsiders around and everything was safe, Lee Kun-hee got out of the car.

After getting out of the car, Lee Kun-hee did not stop at all, he walked briskly into the passageway, and then walked through the corridor to a reception room accompanied by the staff.

As the former chairman of Samsung Group, Lee Kun-hee is a guest of all governments, and he naturally does not come to the Blue House. Now, the reception room he was in was large but elegant, and he knew that it was the president's place to receive important guests, and this was not a place for ordinary guests to enter compared to the richly renovated conference rooms.

There wasn't much time to sit down, and the sound of footsteps could be heard clearly from the other side of the hallway. Li Jianxi sat up slightly straight, and looked at the door. After a while, the current president of South Korea appeared in front of him, and Lee Kun-hee stood up with a smile on his face and took a few steps forward.

"Hello President"

"Mr. Li, hello, how are you looking good lately?" The president smiled and shook hands with Lee Kun-hee, and the two sides sat down after a few cold words.

Everyone is an old friend, and we all know our roots. After the kind words, the president questioned about the recent involvement of Samsung Group and OR companies, including Lee Kun-hee.

In response to the question of the OR company, Lee Kun-hee only answered in the official language, he was prepared before he came, not to mention that he was originally an old fox, and he said these words without leaking, and dressed himself up as perfect as a pure little girl in front of the president.

"However, there is a lot of pressure on us from the U.S. side right now, Mr. Lee, you know the situation in South Korea, and while taking care of the feelings of the people, as president, I must take into account the reactions of my allies."

"Of course, please rest assured, Mr. President, I will deal with these things, after all, commercial problems are solved by commercial means, just give me a little time, and the United States will naturally stop." Lee Kun-hee replied unhurriedly.

"That's good, that's good" Mr. President smiled and nodded, but there was a hint of warning in his eyes, as if to warn Lee Kun-hee not to go overboard, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold back if it was really big.
