Chapter 321: Only the First Can Survive

Jester's plane was late, the plane that was supposed to arrive in New York at three o'clock, and it didn't land at the airport until just after four o'clock.

After arriving, Jester didn't say anything to Lee Kun-hee immediately, but went directly to the hotel by car, after all, it must be very tired after a long flight, and the matter of Samsung can be put aside for the time being, after all, Lee Kun-hee will have to stay in the United States for a while.

The next morning, when Jester arrived at the headquarters of the Samsung branch in New York in a special car sent by Lee Kun-hee, he saw Lee Kun-hee, whose pupils were bloodshot.

Before Jester could ask, Lee Kun-hee said with a smile: "I dismantled some electronic products with the technicians last night, did some research, and didn't have time to sleep," said as he led Jester to the conference room.

In this conference room, there are many electronic products that have been disassembled on the table in the middle, and there are many young technicians who are constantly comparing different electronic products and taking pictures, and some people are sitting and taking notes.

Others, a little older, stood aside with an embarrassed face.

Jester is the No. 2 shareholder of Samsung Trading Company, and the matter of the executive director is not a secret, and the senior management of these Samsung branches in North America naturally knows, many people have visited Jester in California, and they don't understand why Jester came back today, as far as they know, although Jester has a stake second only to Lee Kun-hee in Samsung, he will never participate in Samsung's business affairs.

On the way to the conference room before, Lee Kun-hee had already briefly told Jester about yesterday's events, and Jester didn't feel anything strange about the scene in front of him, he just simply glanced at all the people in the conference room, and without saying a word, he took the initiative to walk to the table.

He picked up a Sony Walkman that had been dismantled and a knockoff of Samsung. Holding one in one hand, and then constantly comparing the two products that have been disassembled, Jester looked very carefully. I watched it for nearly five minutes before putting down what I was holding.

"My name is Jester. Lee, you must all know. I'm also a shareholder and executive director of Samsung, as you know. ”

After reading it, Jester turned his head and said a brief word to the more than 20 executives of Samsung's North American branch present, and then looked at Li Kunxi, who also nodded to him, signaling that Jester could continue, and Jester had told him his opinion before. In Lee Kun-hee's opinion, Jester's thoughts almost coincide with him.

In the past, Lee Kun-hee not only notified Jester to come to New York to discuss how to revitalize Samsung in North America, but also notified many heavyweights within Samsung Trading Company at the same time, such as Jester knows that the current president of Samsung Electronics, Kim Kwang-ho, the president of Samsung Airlines, Lee Da-won, the president of Samsung Aviation, the president of Samsung Watch, Hyun Myeon Guanhao, and the director of Samsung Economic Research Institute Lee Dong-seung.

As for the next level where he can't name, that's more.

These people did not stand with the two dozen or so heads of Samsung in North America, but all stood behind Lee Kun-hee.

Jester got Lee Kun-hee's consent. He also nodded, a smile on his face, he was not a very stern person. In Mars Entertainment, unless it is in development, his authority is unquestionable, and in daily life, he is very easy to get along with.

"I just briefly read a report given to me by President Kim on the road, which was made by his technicians who stayed up all night, and there are a lot of contents in it, I will briefly say my understanding, if you need more details. You can ask President Kim for a look. ”

Jester said calmly, and Lee Kun-hee was present. Also taken from his obscenity yesterday, these more than 20 North American high-level executives are really serious or pretend to be serious. At least on the surface, he is still very serious, and Jester doesn't care so much, he is just invited by Lee Kun-hee to talk about his thoughts, after all, he is also the second shareholder of Samsung.

"In our products, the parts are used more than others, but the price is two percent cheaper than others, which means that the cost is higher than that of competitors, but it can't be sold at a good price, as long as you have a little brain, you can summarize the reasons, I think it is nothing more than two points - our Samsung product technology and quality, are lower than competitors."

What Jester said is something they all know, and it is precisely for this reason that they think that their products are treated coldly in North America, and it is natural that they will meet the kind of situation that Lee Kun-hee himself saw in major shopping malls.

"Yes, now many of our products, compared with world-class products, many products can be seen at a glance, whether it is the appearance design, or performance and the first-class brand has a very big gap, we must admit this, I have also seen the report shown above that our export volume is good, but the sales volume is also not satisfactory......"

When he said this, Jester saw a look of disdain on someone's face, so Jester still smiled, he immediately stopped what he was about to say, and then stretched out his hand to point at the employee who had just shown a look of disdain, and said.

"What? Does Director Zheng have any disagreement with what I just said? ”

Director Zheng, who was named by Jace, is a real director of Samsung Americas Electronics, and has a lot of voice in Samsung Americas.

This Director Zheng thought that his disdainful look just now was very secretive, and no one found out, but he was still a little embarrassed when he was suddenly named by Jester, but fortunately, he was also in battle for a long time, and the moment he was named by Jace, his face immediately showed a look of respect and humility, and he said with a smile on his face.

"No, I didn't question Director Li's meaning, but I think the reason why we have ugly sales is because of the resistance of other companies to us to open up new markets, and we ......" I didn't expect him to finish speaking, a radio shell flew into the air and smashed directly into his face, and Director Zheng immediately covered it and squatted down.

Lee Kun-hee, who was looking angry on the side, stretched out a finger and pointed at this Director Zheng, who was still the case of the radio just now.

Lee Kun-hee's face turned pale, and he moved his finger to the door of the conference room. Then he roared: "Get out, immediately, get out right now." You are not eligible to participate in this meeting! ”

Hearing Li Jianxi's words, this Director Zheng also looked at Li Jianxi with some incredulity. It seemed that he felt that there was something wrong with his previous hearing, and he really couldn't believe that with his identity as the No. 3 person in Samsung Americas Electronics, he would let himself out at such an extremely important meeting, which can be said to be how Samsung Americas will develop in the future.

Director Zheng froze on the spot, and after Lee Kun-hee roared angrily, he still stood motionless.

And then. Li Jianxi immediately picked up another part that he didn't know where to dismantle and threw it over again, while his mouth was still constantly scolding: "There is no need to listen to such a report, you give it to me immediately now!" ”

Unable to do so, Director Zheng had no choice but to leave with a pale face, knowing that his career at Samsung was basically over.

And Samsung Electronics, the president of Samsung Airlines, these real top executives of the Samsung Group wanted to ease the anger at the scene, but they didn't expect that Lee Kun-hee's anger had not been eliminated. He continued to angrily reprimand the Director Zheng just now.

"Why does Samsung have such a director? Passing the buck is top-notch. Now Samsung is competing fiercely with products from all over the world, and even if everyone works together, they may not be able to get through the difficulties, but he is still shirking responsibility. How can such a person take on great responsibilities? ”

Then the person who originally wanted to persuade Lee Kun-hee had no choice but to play the words that had reached his throat directly.

After a reprimand, Li Kunxi may have vented his anger, he thought that it was Jester's speech time just now, so he bowed to Jester apologetically, and said very sincerely: "Mr. Li, I made you laugh just now, I really didn't expect that in our three stars." There are even such rice worms! ”

Jester hurriedly said that every company has corpse vegetarian people, so this is not surprising.

Afterwards. Despite Lee Kun-hee's repeated pleas, he still let Jester continue. Jester nodded, continuing his previous words.

In fact, the scene just now, in Jester's opinion, this is just a prestige of Lee Kun-hee, he wants to perform major surgery on Samsung America, what if he doesn't kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey first, and that Director Zheng is just that chicken.

"The U.S. is the world's largest market, and its success or failure can mean the difference between life and death for our Samsung. And we are in a situation where the products are not popular in the market, and Samsung's products are sold at low prices in discount stores, while high-end department stores and shopping malls in New York, USA, do not sell Samsung's products at all. If this continues, will Samsung still survive in the 21st century? The main question now is not how to operate, but the fact that the business is at a critical moment of life and death. ”

Jester said very sincerely, and what he said was also Lee Kun-hee's heart, whether it was Lee Kun-hee or Jester, they didn't want Jester to be able to limit their influence to South Korea, their goal was the same, that is, to spread Samsung's influence to the whole world.

And immediately, Lee Kun-hee quickly took over Jester's words.

"There is still a big gap between our products and the products of advanced countries, so we must abandon the idea of only being second-rate, and if we do not actively strive for the world's first, then there will be no way to survive in the future. Some people may think that Samsung is already one of the best in the domestic market, but if you are satisfied and think that it is the best company, it is intolerable, because this lags behind the world level, indicating that the past ten years have been in vain. The next two or three years will be our last chance to become a first-class, first-class country and a first-class group, and this is why I am angry and have decided to fight against the odds. ”

"Only the first can survive."

After speaking, Lee Kun-hee bowed deeply to everyone present, whether it was the high-level executives of the group who were called by him, or the high-level executives of Samsung Americas, and this move made Jester confirm his confirmation of Lee Kun-hee's act of killing chickens and monkeys just now.

This is actually a very simple trick of scheming, when you need to do a big thing, when you know that you may have to offend a lot of vested interests, then you need to be enviable and use, just use um, then people will not know the height of the sky, and only know the power, it will make people afraid and not convinced.

After Liwei, who had made an example of the monkey before, he immediately made impassioned words, relying on the bright prospects of the future to mobilize the passion of everyone present, and then, it was really about how he would change in Samsung Electronics, especially Samsung Americas Electronics.

And seeing that the others bent down at the moment when Lee Kun-hee bent down, they immediately bent down, Jester knew that Lee Kun-hee's goal had been achieved.

His role is only to draw out the people who are the subject of Liwei.

Jester smiled, he didn't expect that he would be put on the spot by Li Jianxi so easily. (To be continued)

ps: It is true that Lee Kun-hee's $1,000 per person speech and only the first can survive, but the time is 923, and it also happened when Lee Kun-hee went to the United States to visit the mall. R655
