Chapter 470: Working Together Again
(.) Lee Jae-chrome whispered about the situation in the past few months, including the fact that Lee Jae-hyun had wooed himself to deal with Zhou Liwen, and he did not hide it, and told it one by one. When Lee Jae-chrome spoke, Lee Kun-hee didn't interject a word, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, his eyes were slightly squinted, as if he was asleep, and he seemed to be careless, but Lee Jae-chrom, who was familiar with his father, knew that this was exactly what he usually thought.
After Lee Jae-chrome finished talking about everything, Lee Kun-hee pondered for a moment, opened his eyes and looked at his son.
"Yes, you've finally grown a little." Lee Kun-hee said.
Lee Jaechrome's face flushed slightly, and he didn't know if his father was praising him or talking back. After all, not only did Samsung Group get into trouble due to his own mistakes before, but even Lee Kun-hee was dragged down. Moreover, until now, he didn't know whether his choice to cooperate with Lee Jae-hyun was right or wrong, which is why he came here to ask for advice.
“…… However, your experience is still insufficient" Sure enough, Lee Kun-hee then sighed again, and seeing Lee Jae-chrome looking at him with a puzzled look, Lee Kun-hee said: "You cooperate with Jae-hyun, the main consideration is the interests of our Li family, right?" That is, those words that Jae-hyun said to you? ”
"Yes, father, although I am a little helpless, I think it is the most important thing to at least keep our Li family's property from falling into the hands of outsiders, which is why I promised them." Lee Jae-chrome nodded in reply, and at the same time felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Hehe......." Li Jianxi smiled, shook his head and said, "Outsiders? What kind of person is oneself? Could it be that your uncle and Jae-hyun are your own people? I know better than anyone what kind of people they are, do you know why your grandfather didn't hand over the group to your uncle, but to me? ”
"Is it because you, father, are better than your uncle?"
"Wrong" Li Jianxi said: "In terms of ability, your uncle is not bad, otherwise your grandfather would not have chosen him as the heir first." But the biggest weakness of your uncle and your eldest brother is not ability, in fact, managing a company, especially a huge enterprise like Samsung Group, real ability is not too important. Over the years, you should know that the entire Samsung Group is like a sophisticated machine, where every part is where it should be, working closely with each other and working perfectly. As long as the manager is not hot-headed and commands indiscriminately, then the machine can run unharmed. ”
Hearing this, Lee Jae-chrome was a little embarrassed, but because he had the current situation, wasn't it because he had a hot head and was tossing around? Lee Kun-hee is not wrong at all, as long as a large company like Samsung does not die, even if it is replaced by an idiot chairman, it can still operate with strong inertia. After all, there are so many vice presidents and senior departments in the group, they are in their own places, as long as they do what they should do, it is enough.
"In the past, when your uncle was the heir, he was clever, thinking that he was capable and arbitrary. And now, your eldest brother is the same, not to mention that he has been messing around in the entertainment industry, focusing more on practical interests than long-term goals. They thought that if they kicked me out of Samsung and sat on the throne of chairman, they would be able to wield great power and call for wind and rain. They even used various excuses to abandon the allies who supported them in the first place and tear up the agreements between them. You and I know Zhou Liwen well, how can someone who can do this step be a simple businessman? Hmph, if I'm right, Jae-hyun thinks he's got a plan, but at the same time, he also planted the seeds of destruction. ”
"Father, do you think that the eldest brother should fulfill his promise to Zhou Liwen in the first place?"
"Why not?" Li Jianxi glanced at his son coldly and asked rhetorically: "As a businessman, credibility is the most important thing, and if he loses his credibility, then he is nothing." What's more, in that case, without Zhou Liwen's support, do you think they would be able to come to power? If it were me, what if I kept my promise? What's more, the conditions proposed by the other party are only part of the equity, and will not harm the overall interests of the Samsung Group, including our Li family. ”
"But...... In case Liwen gets the equity of Samsung Group and Samsung Electronics, won't there be an opportunity to directly affect Samsung in the future? If you go further, maybe ten or twenty years later, it is not impossible for Zhou Liwen to become the owner of Samsung" Lee Jae-chrome didn't expect Lee Kun-hee to say such a thing, so he was very surprised and hurriedly asked.
"That's what Jaehyun said to you, right?" Lee Kun-hee asked unexpectedly.
Seeing that Lee Jae-chrome nodded, Lee Kun-hee sneered: "These words are just deceptions, Samsung Group is so easy to master?" Yes, if you look at the situation of a company, this possibility may be born, but don't forget that the Samsung Group is not only the Samsung of our Lee family, but also the Samsung Group of South Korea, which is not only commercial, but also political. As the South Korean government, it will never see a large enterprise like Samsung Group fall into the hands of foreigners, so no matter how much Samsung Zhou Liwen obtains, he will not be able to become the master of Samsung. What's more, I think Zhou Liwen should also know about this situation, otherwise what he asked for your eldest brother would not be just a part of the equity. ”
Li seemed to be suddenly slashed by something in Chrome's mind, and he was immediately speechless. Li Jianxi is Li Jianxi, he sees the problem much more clearly than he can see, and Zhou Liwen has planned to do the same from the beginning, as Li Jianxi said, if Zhou Liwen has an intention for the entire Samsung Group, then he will definitely not just ask for a part of the equity, but put on a posture of annexing Samsung Group.
Although it is very difficult to do this with Zhou Liwen's financial resources, whether he will do it, or he has no intention of doing it from the beginning, Li Jianxi can still understand this. Moreover, the South Korean government, including the self-esteem of the people, will not allow the Samsung Group, a large company that Koreans are proud of, to fall into the hands of foreigners. This is the bottom line, and it is also insurmountable, and once this line is touched, even if the South Korean government is infamous in the international community, it will inevitably take action to stop it.
And now, Lee Jae-hyun and his son replaced Lee Kun-hee to control the Samsung Group, which makes no difference to the government and the people, and even to put it mildly, if another Korean businessman replaces Lee Jae-hyun as the master of the Samsung Group in the future, the South Korean government will not take action, and if it is a foreign capital or a foreigner who does this, then they will definitely not stand idly by.
Since this is the case, Lee Jae-hyun's argument that Lee Jae-hyun fooled Lee Jae-chrome is not valid at all, and the reason why they broke their promises and backtracked is mainly because of their greed and short-sightedness. If it were Lee Kun-hee, he would never do this, and before his foundation for becoming the owner of Samsung was completely stable, he would use foreign aid for his own use, so why not do such a means? And doing so will allow you to have a strong reinforcement instead of erecting a strong enemy. What's more, a large enterprise like Samsung Group itself has the existence of foreign capital, as long as it does not affect the overall situation, what about one more foreign shareholder?
Lee Jae-chrome suddenly realized, and finally understood where the gap between himself and his father was, and at the same time, he also knew that Lee Jae-hyun was trying to use him as a gunman to use this method to achieve his goal of consolidating his position. Thinking of this, Li Zaichrome felt remorse and hatred in his heart, and couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Zhou Liwen will definitely not give up." Li Jianxi said leisurely: "You have dealt with Zhou Liwen, you should know what kind of character he is." And didn't you just say that? Following the decision to withdraw from the Korean market due to the KFTC's fine against Google, Samsung Group's smartphone operating system has now been partnered with Bell-Nokia United. Could it be that if you change an operating system supplier, Samsung Group will be too peaceful in the world? Hehe, if my guess is correct, Zhou Liwen and this joint company should have some secrets. ”
"What do you say is the ...... between Zhou Liwen and Bell-Nokia United?" Lee Jae-chrome's eyes widened suddenly, revealing an incredulous expression.
"What? You don't believe it? Li Jianxi smiled and said: "Although I have no evidence, but from Nokia's new n...
After the launch of smartphones, you can detect some problems, don't you think that the seamless connection between the new Symbian system and the IOB system is too flawless? IOB system as Zhou Liwen's trump card, if it were not for cooperation, he would never hand over the source code, the same application platform of the new Symbian system has the shadow of the appr spoon, these coincidences, if not so, I can't think of any other reason at all. ”
"Damn, if it's really like what you said, father, then Zhou Liwen has already obtained part of the equity of our Samsung Group through this company?"
"Hehe, although these shares are a small percentage and not even enough to enter the board of directors, but at least it is a start, isn't it? If you add the other party's private actions in the securities market, including some small shareholders, then no matter how you block, Zhou Liwen can also achieve the goal. ”
"So, what do we do?" Lee Kun-hee's words made Lee Jae-chrome a little frightened, and he couldn't help but ask urgently.
"What's the panic" Li Jianxi glanced at his son coldly, and he smiled flatly: "If Seong loses his horse, a good thing can become a bad thing, and a nostalgic thing can also become a good thing." As I said before, Zhou Liwen's purpose is not to master the Samsung Group, but to influence Samsung, which is the basis of cooperation. In this case, your eldest brother and Zhou Liwen tore their faces, so why can't we use them? The current situation is also an opportunity for us, if we cooperate with Zhou Liwen at this time, and put forward the conditions that Zaixian promised to Zhou Liwen before to be met, what kind of result do you say? ”
"You mean ......?" Lee Jae-chrome couldn't believe his ears, and in this case, Lee Kun-hee actually offered to cooperate with Joo Li-moon? Did you hear me right? When his eyes looked at Lee Kun-hee, he was convinced that there was no auditory hallucination, and everything was real.
(Happy New Year to all!)
