Chapter 1044: Meeting (II)
In the huge conference room, there are only four people, Kim Do-joon, Kim so-young, Lee Kun-hee and Lee Jae-yong, as for the other executives of Samsung, the president, and the vice president, none of them are qualified to come in.
At first glance, there is nothing special about it, from the point of view of appearance, it is not like in the entertainment industry at all, although he is a little older, but he is not so old that he will not appreciate it, in the Korean entertainment industry, regardless of men and women, almost all of them are very beautiful, which can be described by the word beautiful or exquisite, even if it is not enough congenitally, it can be made up for the day after tomorrow.
It's too normal for boys to have plastic surgery, even the president takes the lead, do a facelift or something, make yourself look younger, more energetic, this is nothing to say, but looking at Kim Dojun's appearance, it is too ordinary, if it wasn't for the news he heard, after personally confirming it, he didn't dare to imagine that he had so much wealth at a young age, and the most important thing is that his vision is still very vicious, and he competes with other large consortia for acquisitions, but he does not fall behind, and often happens to grab food, This made him a little interested, so he took the initiative to invite Kim Do-joon, wanting to meet this legendary young man.
When shaking hands, I could still feel the other party's youthfulness, and I didn't seem to be willing to greet others, and my palms were slightly sweaty.
Sure enough, he is a young man, he is full of fire, not fake at all, looking at the suit, it is estimated that he has not worn it for a long time, he is not suitable at all, and the buttons are buttoned to death.
Li Jianxi's eyes are very vicious, in just two or three minutes, from dress, facial expressions, and demeanor. Analyze it a little. This is only the most preliminary. After the contact, after a brief chat, you will know how Kim Do-jun is doing.
After shaking hands with Lee Jae-yong, Kim Do-jun sat down under their greetings and introduced Kim so-young by the way.
"This is my agent, my personal butler, my big and small things. Basically, he's dealing with it! ”
Kim so young is now a real confidant, after so many things, the test for him has long ended, and he does a good job, both serious and responsible, and the most important thing is that he is very patient and careful, and he doesn't feel annoyed at all, which is commendable.
When some people first start working, they may be full of motivation and want to make a career in their position. But after a long time, inertia naturally arises. It's human nature.
Like Kim so-young, who has been like a day for several years, there are really few, and he has never regarded Kim Do-joon's affairs as a trouble, but has faced all challenges with a positive attitude, which can be regarded as Kim Do-joon's treasure.
"Oh! Mr. Kim so Young has been with Do-joon for more than two years! Wasn't it a very capable broker of S.M before? ”
Lee Kun-hee turned his head, glanced at Kim so-young, and said quietly, the four of them sat in opposite positions, with a coffee table in the middle, a leather sofa, very soft and comfortable, opposite Kim Do-joon was Lee Kun-hee and opposite Kim so-young, sitting Lee Jae-yong.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kim Do-jun felt a chill behind him, and his hairs were about to stand up, not only himself, but also the people around him investigated it clearly, and he could casually tell Kim so-young's past experience, which in itself illustrated a problem.
"They've been paying attention to themselves for a while!"
They won't come to them until they're fully prepared, it's a normal human mindset, either they don't meet each other, or they win with one blow.
Kim so Young also glanced at Kim Do-jun in surprise, just nodded, and did not speak, on this occasion, he still spoke less, or rather, he was not qualified to speak.
"I'm older than you, so it's not too much to call you so-young! Following Daojun's side, you should have learned a lot, to be honest, I also envy Daojun, at a young age, you have laid such a big foundation, and in a few years, you will have some achievements in the future. ”
Lee Kun-hee looked very enthusiastic, the smile on his face was never broken from beginning to end, and he was completely different from the TV and magazines, and he praised each other as soon as he came up, what kind of ecstasy was sold, was it deliberately to let his guard down.
Kim so young sat up slightly, the few people in the room put too much pressure on you, and each of them was full of aura, and he didn't even dare to sit on the sofa with his buttocks, so he could only lean forward and speak.
"This is what I should do, if it weren't for Daojun, I might still be in the previous company, continue to do my old job, as for the achievements, they are all given by others, it's not okay to just talk about it, you have to take concrete actions!"
Kim so-young replied very sharply, the meaning was very clear, telling the other party that only by Kim Do-joon's side can he give full play to his value, that is to say, his future achievements completely depend on how much Kim Do-joon trusts him and how much he can do.
This is the case for Asian entrepreneurs, which is different from American and European companies, where the boss is in the company, and whatever he says is what he says, and few people can restrain him and control him.
This is not the same as the corporate system in the United States and Europe, there are many systems that restrict the boss, even Bill Gates, marriage has to be discussed with the board of directors, because it involves the issue of shares, involving his control over Microsoft, must sign a prenuptial property agreement, this is the company, the board of directors, the shareholders requirements, if you do not agree, marriage is a very troublesome thing.
If you change to Asia, China, or South Korea, and the boss wants to get married, and the people below say no, you have to sign an agreement or set a series of conditions, and it is estimated that you can be laid off the next day.
Lee Kun-hee nodded after listening, the people around him are really different, they are very good at speaking, and they seem to have a little prickly feeling, but it doesn't matter, today's protagonist is Kim Do-joon, and chatting with him is the right thing.
"Do-joon, no, should I call you Chairman Kim, or a member of the board of directors of google, a shareholder, and the boss behind the KDJ Group?"
Li Jianxi asked with a smile, his eyes narrowed into a straight line, he said. Just think it's important. Small companies like CJES, Dispatch. He didn't pay attention to it at all, and he was more interested in the front ones in comparison.
"Oh? It turns out that Chairman Lee Kun-hee knows about it, so what can I say and deny it? ”
Kim Do-jun grinned, smiled slightly, and immediately responded that he had thought about it a long time ago. If you want to hide it, you must not be able to hide it, just like in the United States, you are actually approached by the assistant secretary of state, in front of the country, the government, and politicians, there is no secret at all, and the strength of a country is compared with the strength of enterprises and individuals, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
In South Korea, Samsung is the hegemon, and the government has no way to take him, and he has committed a crime. It was only a sentence, and it was medical parole. There is no need to go to jail at all, such a punishment is meaningless, and he was finally released, hoping to use the power of Samsung to win the Winter Olympics for South Korea.
Samsung's competition in the international market has crushed many companies, even Japanese giants such as Sony and Sharp, and life is not very good.
The intertwined relationship, coupled with Samsung's own connections, can solve quite a lot of problems for the South Korean government, and naturally there will not be too many demands on Samsung.
The opposition and criticism of the people are indeed endless, but when there is really a three-star invitation and job opportunities in front of them, they have a different attitude, and they can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, which is probably this psychology.
How many college graduates, in order to enter the Samsung company, have to spend up to a year to prepare, learn various rules and regulations, work processes, in order to have a chance to join Samsung, and now a young man much younger than himself sits in front of him, and his achievements are no less than his own.
Although Samsung's annual revenue is very scary, hundreds of billions of dollars, but the profits that really belong to Samsung, not very much, although Lee Kun-hee is the richest man in South Korea, but his worth has only reached more than 10 billion US dollars, among the top ten richest people in Asia, they are generally in the seventh or eighth place, and the previous ones, there is still a big gap, not to mention the richest man in Asia.
And the most incomprehensible thing is that Kim Dojun's worth far exceeds these people, so it can be said that he left them behind, as far as he estimates, Google's shares alone are about the same as all his net worth, not to mention, he also has a huge KDJ group, which is constantly encroaching on the British market, and unceremoniously said, this guy is about to buy most of the UK.
I have to say that in this regard, it is not that if you employ hundreds of thousands of people, you must be powerful, and you have more wealth than others, but this country is supporting you in a family business, and the wealth created by the top ten families in South Korea is nearly 60% of South Korea's annual GDP, this number is really terrifying, and it can be said to be a veritable family kingdom.
"Flatly denied? It's not necessary, I just feel very curious, why Daojun is young, but his vision is so vicious, and the time is very accurate, judging from the case you acquired, every step is very stable, and you won't make a move if you are not completely sure, not only from this point I admire, even your team members, your executives, all of them are among the best! ”
After Li Jianxi finished speaking, he kept admiring, and glanced at his son by the way, after Lee Jae-yong came back from the United States, he relied on Samsung Company to establish a lot of enterprises, and the final result was all ended in failure.
Young people, everyone has success, everyone has failure, this is not terrible, what I am afraid of is that you are not capable, not modest, do not learn, do not forge ahead, then it is really terrifying, Samsung Group is so big, hundreds of thousands of employees, you need to be responsible for them, to ensure their employment and income, to ensure the stability of the family, the helm of these companies is also under great pressure, the purpose of inviting Kim Dojun to come today is to probe his bottom and understand, Kim Do-jun is a person, he started like this, why he maintains a high degree of mystery at the same time, and still expanding.
Because KDJ Group is not listed, you can't learn about the company through formal means, and the information is not disclosed at all, and if you don't have an insider, it's very difficult to get the news.
Another purpose is to hope that his successor will have more contact with Kim Do-jun to see if he can learn something from him.
After listening to this, Kim Dojun sat up, picked up the coffee and took a sip before he spoke.
"My subordinates, of course, don't have mediocrity, just like Chairman Lee Kun-hee, you won't hire a bunch of waste to act as executives of Samsung, right?"
"That's right, a genius can feed millions of people, a mediocre talent can make millions of people unemployed, Samsung is adhering to this philosophy, we need to hire the best talent, so we took the lead in South Korea to implement the annual salary system and performance system, but compared with you, I find that our pace is still too slow!"
After listening to it, Lee Kun-hee then said, as early as before, he said that in Samsung except for his wife and children, everything needs to be changed, Samsung is an independent kingdom, too centralized, all employees need to be loyal to Lee Kun-hee, many people think that Samsung is a religion, and Lee Kun-hee is God.
This is also one of the reasons why the company's change is slow, it is too authoritarian, too bloated, the ship is big, it is naturally not good to turn around, looking at Kim Do-jun, Lee Kun-hee is also envious in his heart.
"It doesn't matter how fast or slow the pace is, the key is to be able to determine your own goals, and focus on them, Samsung has now shifted its attention from semiconductors and TVs to mobile phones! This is the best example of this! ”
Kim Do-joon didn't want to avoid this question at all, he came over by himself today, and he would definitely have asked about Google, so it was better to take the initiative to say it, he had already thought about how to answer this question.
"It turns out that Daojun knows, that's great, yes, in the future, Samsung will focus on mobile phones, all funds, resources, manpower, production, research and development, will be inclined to mobile phones, and we choose the Android system, so that the connection with Google is closer! And you're not a shareholder of Google, are you? I am Korean again, and I hope to help me in this regard! ”
Speaking of which, Li Jianxi's attitude is obviously a lot milder, the system software is in the hands of others, as if it is stuck in the neck, unable to breathe, everyone knows that the profit of hardware manufacturing is the lowest, as long as the software and high-tech products are the highest point of mobile phone profits.
Kim Do-jun shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"I just own shares, does not mean that I can participate in the company's daily affairs management, as early as when I invested, I have signed an agreement, I only hold shares, do not participate in the management and any decision-making of the company, you can help me as a only dividends but no power to shake off the shopkeeper!"
As soon as Kim Do-joon finished speaking, Lee Kun-hee and Lee Jae-yong suddenly showed a strange expression, as if they were talking.
"I see!"
All morning, Kim Do-joon, Lee Kun-hee, and Lee Jae-yong were chatting, and they all ate in Samsung's canteen at noon.
We talked a lot about investment, as well as my own vision for the future, the direction of KDJ Group, the diversification of the company, and so on.
exchanged a personal phone number with Lee Jae-yong, knowing that he likes to play golf, and they can play together when they have time in the future, after all, he is the future heir of Samsung Group, although Lee Kun-hee is in good health now, and there is no harm in befriending him.
It can be seen that he is also a person who does not like to talk and is silent, I don't know what Samsung will develop into his hands in the future, I am really looking forward to it!
In the afternoon, Kim Do-joon went to the gym to exercise, but unexpectedly found Krystal inside. (To be continued......)
