THE CHIP PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF IPODSHUFFLE HAS GRADUALLY BEEN SOLVED WITH THE LARGE INVESTMENT OF CHENXING TECHNOLOGY AND TOSHIBA, BUT BECAUSE THIS NEW SERIES DOES NOT HAVE LCD DISPLAYS, IT IS STILL NECESSARY TO RELY ON THE SECOND-GENERATION IPOD TO DRIVE DISPLAY ORDERS.

THE SUCCESS OF THE FIRST GENERATION OF IPOD HAS LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR THE SECOND GENERATION OF HOT SALES, IPOD'S WAREHOUSE TURNOVER IS VERY FAST, AT PRESENT, THE CUMULATIVE PRODUCTION OF 500,000 UNITS BY FOXCONN, A SUBSIDIARY OF HON HAI PRECISION, HAS BASICALLY BEEN CONSUMED BY VARIOUS CHANNELS, FOXCONN IS NOW ADJUSTING THE NEXT BATCH OF PRODUCTION CAPACITY, AND THE SALES VOLUME IN 2002 REACHED 2 MILLION SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM!

IPOD family series has successfully launched the brand of "fashion technology", and the large orders of tens of millions of dollars have made Chenxing Technology more and more popular among suppliers, and Gu Benmao took the initiative to solicit business to show that LG Group attaches great importance to the growth and orders of Chenxing Technology!

What's even more wonderful is that Samsung Electronics is reluctant to accept Chenxing Technology's order because of Lee Kun-hee and Song Chen's sword-to-blade meeting, which means that LG Group does not need to directly face its old rivals, as long as it takes a piece from Sharp!

Song Chen glanced at Gu Benmao and said with a smile: "President Gu, I thought you would talk to me about the cooperation project between 8848 and you!" ”

With the 8848 open platform, the addition of third-party merchants has made the variety of 8848 products expand rapidly, such as some clothing giants in 8848 and Amazon trial operation, and there are also home appliance companies to join, such as Changhong opened a web page on the 8848 China website, becoming the first batch of 8848 e-commerce home appliance enterprises!

"That's LG China's business!" Gu Benmao smiled slightly, "People of your status and me, since they have delegated some of their powers to the manager, there is no need to interfere too much for such a trivial matter!" ”

Song Chen nodded and said in a deep voice: "President Gu, you must also know that the relationship between Sharp Company and me is complicated!" Not to mention that the two sides have maintained a cooperative relationship for more than two years. Let's just say that Miss Hayakawa of the Sharp founder family and me, her relationship with me is not ordinary! Suddenly handed over the order of Chenxing Technology to LG Group, it is inevitable that rumors will spread in the market! ”

Gu Ben Shigeru smiled slightly, and said sharply: "If you want to say that the Hayakawa family, which has taken a back seat, Chairman Song, it seems that you have sent the wrong feelings, and Sharp Company will not regard you as 'Sharp's son-in-law'!" On the contrary, judging from the information I have inquired about from various sources, it seems that Mikio Katayama, the current president of Sharp, is very dissatisfied with you! ”

"Oh? Didn't I realize that I had become persona non grata? Song Chen maintained a harmless smile.

In fact, when he 'instigated' Masayoshi Son to lead the strategy of taking a stake in Sharp. The Sharp authorities became wary of him. Song Chen is "Hayakawa Ningichi's quasi-son-in-law", although this relationship is not recognized by the law, the intimacy is there! What's more, after Kaori Hayakawa divorced Ryuji Abe and gave birth to a daughter for Song Chen, the transaction between them couldn't be hidden at all!

The reason why the Sharp board of directors and president Mikio Katayama are willing to talk to Masayoshi Son and Song Chen after the change of nationality is only one reason: let Song Chen, who is famous all over the world, join the board of directors of Sharp and become one of them, and use his vision to add to Sharp's career - eat the sugar coating and shoot the cannonball back!

In contrast, whether or not Nenichi Hayakawa returns to Sharp's power core is secondary! If he can convince Song Chen and his Chenxing empire to align themselves with Sharp's interests. Maybe the board of directors will support it!

Of course, Song Chen will not know the considerations behind this! Although Gu Benmao had strong resources to find out that Song Chen was interested in investing in Sharp, he knew that Katayama Mikio was very dissatisfied with Song Chen's "interference" in Sharp's internal affairs. But he didn't know that Sharp's board of directors actually had a very ** attitude towards Song Chen.

From the perspective of investors, Song Chen is indeed like a piece of fragrant bread with a "prediction" BUFF, whoever eats it will win the future!

Shigeru Gomoto said with a smile: "Compared to Niichi Hayakawa, who was unable to influence Sharp's decision-making, Nobuyuki Idei is now in the core of power in the Sony Group. But he's questioned because of you! From this point of view, he needs your support more than Niichi Hayakawa, doesn't he? But the reality is the opposite. ITUNES HELPED SONY GROUP GAIN A FOOTHOLD IN THE RISE OF DIGITAL MUSIC, BUT IT COULDN'T STOP THE DECLINE IN RECORD SALES! And Sony Music's choice at the time forced other record giants to bow to you......"

Speaking of this, Gu Ben Shigeru said meaningfully: "You owe a great favor to Shinyuki Idei! ”

Song Chen didn't move at all, but said lightly: "Sony's strength is undoubted, and Sony's bloat is also well known!" My old man is a good technocrat, but he is not a bold reformer, he does not dare to use the knife against the mountains and conservatives within the group, even if I have an idea, it is useless! What's more, the powerful Sony is not in my interests, and there are three companies that can fundamentally threaten Chenxing Technology today: the first to promote Sony, followed by Apple, and finally Microsoft! ”

"No Samsung Electronics?" Gu Benmao was taken aback, if it weren't for the fact that Song Chen was not a conceited and arrogant person, he would have thought that the other party was talking big!

Gu Xiuzhen was also very surprised, she said with a face full of disbelief: "It's fake!" Samsung Electronics' digital player has almost no rival in our Korea, and it is also very popular in your China, but you don't take it to heart such an opponent! ”

Song Chen shook his head and said, "Samsung is a difficult opponent, but like I said, Li Jianxi can't fundamentally defeat Chenxing Technology!" The wrong strategy, no matter how aggressive, is just an itch in the boot after all! Even if Samsung launches high-end products, the most optimistic is just to compete with Chenxing Technology! ”

"Microsoft is just going to end up, why Sony and Apple?" Li Yinxin was also very curious.

Song Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Sony has advantages in various electronic fields, and Chenxing Technology is completely incomparable to him!" But the ruler is long, and the inch is short! SONY GROUP IS A SHORT BOARD IN TERMS OF SOFTWARE AND THE INTERNET, IF SONY'S MIDDLE AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT CAN SEE THE UNSTOPPABLE TREND OF DIGITAL MUSIC, DO NOT STARE AT NAPSTER'S PIRACY PROBLEM AND BE ANGRY, TAKE THE LEAD IN DEVELOPING PRODUCTS SUCH AS ITUNES, SUPPLEMENTED BY ADVANCED HARDWARE TECHNOLOGY, A STRONG GLOBAL BRAND, AND RICH THREE-DIMENSIONAL SALES CHANNELS...... Not to mention Chenxing Technology, which focuses on the concept of 'fashion aesthetics', Samsung Electronics, which has been famous for a long time, must also retreat! ”

THIS WAS DISCUSSED IN THE INDUSTRY WHEN ITUNES WAS LAUNCHED. At that time, Nobuyuki Idei proposed the digital transformation strategy of 'Sony Dream World', and if Sony did do this, the global industrial landscape would not be what it is now! Gu Ben Shigeru nodded.

"Apple's corporate culture is most similar to that of Chenxing Technology, both of which effectively integrate software and hardware resources, and have a strong and visionary leader. There is a good chance that a miracle will be performed under the leadership of Steve Jobs! At the mention of Apple, Song Chen's expression was slightly complicated, and as a "despicable plagiarist", he was reluctant to dwell too much on Apple's potential. [Note: Jobs and his apples are hard to write.] The writing is poor, as a "Apple Brain Powder", I don't want to; It's written, I don't have this talent, so Apple's plot will be diluted in the future! After the acquisition of Pixar, Jobs will also fade out of the plot! 】

"Microsoft's strengths and weaknesses are the exact opposite of Sony's, Microsoft has talented software engineers and successful Internet products! But Microsoft's 'software sales thinking' is out of place in the face of the user-friendly Internet, and Ballmer is a good salesperson, which is why he is a good salesperson. Without Sony Music's strong transformational pressure and business needs, Microsoft would not have been able to play the role of an innovator and leader in the digital space! ”

Song Chen smiled and continued, "The topic returns to my prospective father-in-law, from my personal standpoint. The powerful Sony will fundamentally threaten Chenxing Technology, so neither his own personality nor my personal ability and position can help him come up with an effective reform plan! With the rapid development of information technology. The marginal cost of communication tends to be zero, flat corporate structures will become the mainstream, and Internet companies should focus more on focus and efficiency. We pay more attention to the quality of service and feedback than any other company, so a centralized and bloated chaebol like Sony Group is unimaginable for us! Those products that fail with the backs of big companies, ICQ is the most recent example, and certainly not the last! ”

Gu Benmao's thinking was running at a high speed, and he found that although Song Chen was not a person who could throw out a lot of professional terms with his mouth, he could open up ideas by talking to the other party, and this kind of high-level vision and pattern was really heartbreaking.

"What a sobering comment!" Gu Benmao was full of emotion.

"But you're right! Before Mr. Hayakawa returned to Osaka to take charge of the overall situation, I had a somewhat futile attempt to "show the blind man" to the kindness of the Sharp Company! Song Chen smiled slightly and said, "That's it!" Recently, I arranged for Matthew, the director of hardware engineering at Chenxing Technology? How about Bakovia go to South Korea and visit the headquarters of LG Electronics? ”

"This will be an honor for us at LG Electronics, and I believe investors will be happy about it!" ”

Song Chen smiled slightly: "You Koreans are easy to fall in love, I hope that when the time comes, they won't tear Matthew apart because of me and Yin Xin?" Bakovia, fat man! ”

Gu Xiuzhen squeezed her eyes at Li Yinxin, but Li Yinxin was silent.

And when it comes to this incident, Gu Ben Shigeru said awe-inspiringly: "Now that it is a global economic society, this kind of populist idea and extreme sentiment is very threatening for South Korea, which is strictly dependent on exports!" This time I came to New York, on the one hand, I hope to win the big order of Chenxing Technology, and on the other hand, it is also to cool down some people in China! Some time ago, because of Yin Xin and the layoffs, I think both parties should give an explanation to the society and employees! ”

Song Chen and Li Yinxin glanced at each other in surprise, and Song Chen asked, "The South Korean government intends to entrust you, Chairman Gu, to be the middleman?" ”

"Of course not, the South Korean government didn't know that I was going to New York before that!" Gu Benmao smiled slyly and said, "But if you have any requests, I can convey them on your behalf!" ”

"No need!" Song Chen shook his head, having no intention of reaping economic benefits for the other party, and said lightly, "The offices of Chenxing Group and its subsidiaries in South Korea will be reopened, but not now!" One day, when I can show up on the streets of Korea with their mother and son, I will think about it! Until then, I have to ask President Lee to re-examine my energy! ”

Is this preparing for an open fire battle? Gu Benmao was very surprised.

Li Yinxin glanced at Song Chen with slightly red eyes, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

This is the man in charge! Gu Xiuzhen's eyes were full of adoration.

Song Chen said slowly: "The South Korean government may not realize that it is not that Chenxing Group and I need the Korean market or technology, but that the South Korean government needs China's market and connection channels!" Without Alibaba Group, Korean businessmen who want to wholesale their goods to Chinese or international merchants may have to go through a lot of trouble! They will soon realize it! ”

"Maybe you already know!" Gu Benmao said solemnly, "This matter will eventually be settled, but we need to make better choices in a more rational way!" KOREAN BUSINESSMEN NEED GOOGLE, QQ AND ALIBABA GROUP'S B2B TRADING PLATFORMS, AND FOR YOU, A PROPER EXPLANATION WILL HELP SAVE KOREA'S UNDERSTANDING AND HELP YOU AND MISS LEE'S REPUTATION! ”

The last point is even more important, Song Chen's silent expression was finally moved! But he didn't want to give the other party any promises, so he smiled and diverted the topic: "After the Asian financial and economic crisis, the South Korean government split the five major chaebols in South Korea, and LG Group had to split LG Semiconductor and Hyundai Semiconductor under the mandatory requirements of the South Korean Financial Authority Commission, and changed its name to Hynix Semiconductor in March last year?" ”

"Not bad!" Speaking of this, Gu Benmao still felt indignant, "LG Semiconductor had been receiving credit financing from a consortium of banks before the Asian financial crisis, and after the financial crisis, the government drew up a restructuring plan under the report of American adviser Arthur D. Little! This restructuring has allowed us to lose the control of LG Semiconductor, and after the merger, 70% of Hynix Semiconductor's shares are in the hands of Hyundai Semiconductor! ”

Then he stared at him and asked with a smile, "I heard that Toshiba refused to allow you to invest in their semiconductor division?" ”

"Yes!" Song Chen smiled slightly, "I know that Hynix Group is burdened with heavy debts, but even so, Hynix, which has the world's second largest semiconductor manufacturer, still has the value of investment!" ”

Gu Benmao said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "That's a pity, the South Korean government will definitely not welcome your capital!" In fact, the South Korean government stubbornly rejects any capital from China, especially state-owned capital! (To be continued......)
