Chapter 605: Choi Tae-won's Mind Changes
As night falls, the lights come on.
The metropolis of Seoul is decorated with colorful neon lights.
In the VIP box of Walkerhill Rinda Korean Restaurant, the bright lights outline the dreamlike environment.
Wenda Korean Restaurant has the most authentic Korean court cuisine in Seoul and is also the first choice for high-end business negotiations.
The 50-year-old Choi Tae-won is very well maintained, and the passage of time has not left too many marks on his face.
At this moment, he was sitting in the box to discuss business cooperation intentions with Hyun Jin-eun.
After Choi Tae-won poured a full wine for Hyun Jin-eun, he raised his glass and said, "I wish us a smooth cooperation." ”
Hyun Jin-eun clinked glasses lightly with Choi Tae-won, nodded and said, "I hope so." ”
SK Group specializes in chemicals and telecommunications, and has never been involved in the real estate industry before.
After the economic crisis, South Korea's real estate boom attracted many predators to enter the market to feed.
Hyun Jin-eun knew that this trend was unstoppable, so he went with the flow and finally chose to cooperate with SK.
SK's involvement in real estate is mainly for short-term profits, and in the long run, SK's actions do not conflict with Hyundai Group's real estate business, and even the two companies can complement each other to a certain extent, and achieve mutual benefit.
Therefore, the two sides negotiated very happily and soon reached a cooperation intention.
After the main cooperation intention was negotiated, the atmosphere of the conversation was relatively relaxed.
After taking a bite of the seafood cucumber in front of him, Hyun Jin-eun asked casually, "I heard that SK Telecom recently wanted to acquire a small business, and there was a lot of trouble in the city, but the final result doesn't seem to be ideal."
How about it, do you need our help from Hyundai Group? ”
Cui Taiyuan smiled quite freely: "Hehe, my subordinates are not good." Let you see the joke.
As for helping, it is not necessary. How can dealing with a small business bother you modern to come forward. ”
Hyun Jin-eun smiled meaningfully: "Really? Don't capsize in the gutter.
Behind this company is Prosecutor Kim Yoon-ho, who has recently become famous.
I've been in contact with him before. This man is quite capable, and I advise you not to despise him. ”
Choi Tae-won said disapprovingly: "What can a second-level prosecutor do even if he has some ability?
Park Kook-kwon's people are quite energetic in the political arena, but they are not in the business world.
Don't say anything about Kim Yoon-ho, even if Park Kook-kwon goes into battle in person, it is not worthy of my attention.
I'm not afraid of Park Kook-kwon in politics, and they're no match for SK in business. ”
Hyun Zhenen teased with added vinegar: "Oh? But how did I hear that your men were beaten and defeated?
I've heard that SK Group's Nateon subsidiary, and JMicron have made a lot of efforts in the competition.
In this way, he was defeated by Kim Yunhao, who was a second-level prosecutor, and it is not worth your attention? ”
Mocked to his face. Cui Taiyuan was slightly angry in his heart, but said calmly: "It's a shame to say that it's all the subordinates who are not doing well, so that the other party seized the opportunity."
Before I came, I had a general understanding of what happened, and Nateon's representative director, Choi Kong-jin, used legal disputes to attack the other party, and the way was right, but he was too eager and left a big hidden danger, which left a chance for the opponent.
If you use legal disputes to slowly attack your opponent step by step, you will not leave such obvious traces and hidden dangers. It's a pity that Choi Kong-jin is too eager to show himself. Missed the best way to attack.
In addition, the other party went through the path of Apple and suddenly gained a great reputation. This is what will get the other party out of trouble.
However, these are minor problems, and this matter will be solved quickly after the replacement of the competent person in charge. ”
Choi Tae-won's comments were superficial, and Hyun Jin-eun didn't hear much content.
She secretly said a pity in her heart.
She took the initiative to talk about it just to arouse Choi Tae-won's attention and anger towards Kim Yoon-ho.
She has been in contact with Kim Yoon-ho and knows Kim Yoon-ho's ability and fierce style.
If Choi Tae-won is allowed to fight with Kim Yoon-ho, Kim Yoon-ho will cause a lot of trouble for SK.
Although Hyundai has cooperated with SK, there is more competition between the twins.
A few words can make SK some trouble without leaving a trace, and she will not let go of such an opportunity easily.
It's a pity that Choi Tae-won didn't seem to be fooled and didn't get angry at all.
In addition, she also wanted to find out Choi Taewon's attitude by observing how much attention Choi Tae-won attaches to this matter.
If Chey Tae-won attaches great importance to this matter, it means that JMicron poses a great threat to SK Telecom.
If that's the case, Hyun Jin-eun will secretly help Kim Yoon-ho fight against SK, and then contain SK's development.
Pity.......
Hyun Jin-eun took a sip of soju to hide the little loss in his heart.
Choi Tae-won is also quite shrewd, and he did not show any sloppiness in the conversation.
Just when they both thought the topic would stop there, Choi Tae-won's assistant knocked on the door and walked in.
Choi Tae-won listened to his assistant's whispered report, and his heart trembled.
He picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, something happened to the company, I have to go back and deal with it." ”
Hyun Jin-eun nodded: "Please." ”
After Choi Tae-won left, Hyun Jin-eun immediately called his secretary Jung He-bin and asked, "What happened?" ”
Zheng Hebin replied: "I received news not long ago that Kim Yunhao took the negotiation team of Zhiwei Company to meet with the directors of KT Telecom and LGU Wire. ”
Hyun Jin-eun's eyes froze: "He wants to join forces with KT Telecom and LGU Telecom to fight against SK Telecom?" ”
Zheng Hebin replied: "The specific situation is not clear. I only get messages from them meeting. ”
Hyun Jin-eun paused, suddenly discovered the problem, and asked, "Wait, are you saying that Kim Yoon-ho did not hide his whereabouts and deliberately passed on the news of this meeting with the directors of KT Telecom and LGU Telecom to the outside world?" ”
Zheng Hebin replied after thinking carefully: "That's true. I received the message at about the same time as Assistant to Chairman Choi Young-tae. In addition, I confirmed that several other groups have also received this news. ”
Xuan Zhenen frowned and muttered, "Deliberately leaking your whereabouts? What the hell is he going to do? Could it be..."
――
After leaving the box, Cui Taeyuan's face sank like water, and he no longer looked bleak.
Somewhat angrily, he pondered to his assistant and ordered, "Immediately notify the convening of the emergency council. ”
Confession. Choi Tae-won immediately left Walkerhill. Return to the company by car.
SK Telecom, KT Telecom, and LGU Telecom are the three major telecom operators in Korea.
The three telecom companies have a market share of 50%, 30% and 20% respectively in South Korea.
The relationship between the three is also that of mortal enemies.
Therefore. Kim Yoon-ho's move to meet KT and LGU together immediately attracted the attention of SK.
SK Telecom did not dare to slack off after receiving the news and immediately notified SK Chairman Chey Tae-won. SK Telecom is one of SK Group's two pillar industries, and it is of great significance to SK Group.
Therefore, after receiving the news, Chey Tae-won immediately rushed back to the company and temporarily convened an emergency meeting of the top management.
Choi Jae-won, 47, is the brother of Chey Tae-won and serves as SK's vice chairman. He is mainly responsible for SK Telecom's business.
After the meeting, Choi said, "A few years ago, SK Telecom successfully attracted a large number of young users by bundling Nateon software, making SK Telecom have the highest proportion of high-quality users.
Thanks to this advantage, SK Telecom has been able to earn more than twice the total annual profit of KT Telecom and LGU Telecom with a market share of 50% in recent years.
Therefore, the importance of a phenomenal instant messaging software to the three major telecom operators is self-evident.
After WeChat has won the favor and support of Apple in the United States, it has the conditions to become a phenomenal instant messaging software. Therefore, SK Group must no longer take WeChat and JMic lightly.
Important: 4G communication technology has matured, and the communication market will enter a new round of reshuffle within two years.
If you let KT or LGU get the support of WeChat at this time. Bundling WeChat software and eventually stealing a large number of high-quality users will be a very fatal blow to us at SK Telecom.
Therefore, we must stop JMicron's cooperation with KT or LGU. ”
Through Cui Zaiyuan's detailed introduction, the more than 20 directors present are clear about the current grim situation.
Everyone didn't expect that the inconspicuous Zhiwei and WeChat would bring such a big threat to SK.
SK Group's annual turnover is 155 trillion won, and its operating profit exceeds 5 trillion won, equivalent to about 25 billion yuan.
The fact that more than 20 directors jointly control such a huge SK empire is a huge authority and a prominent position.
But now, these big people are injured by the small Zhiwei company, which no one expected.
Many directors began to express their dissatisfaction, especially the directors in charge of SK Telecom, and even accused them of being unfavorable, and even the small Zhiwei company could not deal with it, and they actually caused such a big mess.
Chey Tae-won also didn't expect Kim Yoon-ho and Ji-Micro to bring such big trouble to SK.
Although he was also angry, he controlled his emotions at the moment and began to work on solving the problem.
First of all, Choi Tae-won looked at Choi Jae-won expressionlessly and asked, "Because you are in charge of SK Telecom's business, you have an unshirkable responsibility for dealing with the WeChat threat." You have to do a deep review at the council afterwards. ”
Although the two are brothers, in this kind of accountability, Choi Tae-won should severely punish Choi Zae-won.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public.
Choi Jae-won also understands his brother Choi Tae-won's difficulties, so he has no complaints.
Choi Tae-won immediately issued an order: "The person in charge of the previous action to deal with the threat of Zhiwei Company is Choi Kong-jin, immediately dismiss him from all positions, and all employees of Nateon's subsidiaries will be reduced by one level, waiting for the guilty meritorious service."
In addition, in response to this threat, the Group immediately established a special response team.
Vice President Cui Zaiyuan is the leader of the group, and the heads of the group's strategic planning department, negotiation department and public relations department are the deputy team leaders, and the team members are drawn from relevant departments.
I have only one request for you: to prevent JMicron from reaching a cooperation agreement with KT Telecom and LGU Telecom to any disadvantage SK Telecom. You can use any commercial means in the process.
Remember, you can't go beyond normal business competition. ”
The order issued by Chey Tae-won was very clear, and it can be said that he decided to deal with it decisively and appropriately.
However, for the last explanation, Cui Zaiyuan and other directors did not understand it very well.
Shouldn't we go all out at such a critical time?
Why didn't Chey Tae-won allow him to use other means beyond the scope of normal commercial competition?
If Hyun Jin-eun is present at this moment, he may be able to see the deep meaning of Choi Tae-won's move.
Because she and Choi Tae-won have the same feeling: behind Kim Yoon-ho's move, there may be another mystery. (To be continued.) )
