Chapter 4 Requests for Help
In the following time, the old and the young are no longer too much temptation and entanglement on this issue, the two are hello and I chatted, you ask how my family is, I reply how your body is, the atmosphere between the two sides is harmonious, if there are uninformed outsiders to see this scene, they will definitely think that this is a pair of very loving grandparents and grandchildren!
"Chairman Lee, Nim, then I'll leave today!" Cui Zhenlong got up and bowed goodbye, but the numb legs almost made him kneel on the cushion again, making a big ugly appearance.
"Ah~ Time flies so fast, or Zhenlong, you will stay and accompany my old man after lunch before leaving?"
"This... I just got off the plane today, and I haven't even returned to my own home, so if I don't go back, my family may be worried..."
"Hehe~~ Blame me, blame me, as soon as I heard that you returned to China today, I was in a hurry to ask Yunxin to invite you over. Since this is the case, then I won't keep you anymore, remember to come and play often when you have time, and chat with my old man or something. β
"Load! Keep loading! Cui Zhenlong hated this old guy in his heart, but he still showed a grateful expression on his face, "Yes, next time I will definitely make a special trip to visit Chairman Li Nim and listen carefully to your teachings!" β¦ So now I'm going to go first. β
"Yunxin, you send this child on my behalf," Li Jianxi finally ordered.
This time, Choi Jin-ryong was not hypocritical, and after bowing goodbye to Lee Kun-hee and Lee Jae-yong again, he hurriedly left behind Lee Yoon-xin, he was really fed up today, and he wanted to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
Looking at Cui Zhenlong's last disappearing back, Lee Jae-yong, who hadn't spoken much from beginning to end, looked at Lee Kun-hee and asked: "Father, I have a question in my heart that I have never understood, although the Cui family's Ningyuan Group has developed well in recent years, and Cui Zhenlong himself has secretly made a lot of achievements, but all these together cannot be compared with our Samsung!" Although I also admit that he is very smart, very capable, and a talent, but when did we Samsung lack talents in all aspects? Cui Zhenlong: He doesn't deserve your attention, does he? β
Li Jianxi looked back at his only son, at this time he had put away his smile, his face was full of solemnity, giving people an invisible sense of depression, "Zai Rong, I have told you many times, don't underestimate anyone!" You should have read Cui Zhenlong's information, and he is a great contributor to their Cui family's ability to have today! Think about it, how old was he a few years ago? A teenager can secretly control the development of the entire family business, if you change places, do you think you can do this? β
"You are indeed excellent in all aspects of Yong, Fu Zhen, Xu Xian, and Yun Xin are also good, but you can't compare to Cui Zhenlong in one thing. You have grown up in the best environment since you were a child, received the best education, and when you grow up, I have arranged for you to take the road in the future, and most of the achievements you have achieved today are based on the infinite resources behind you, that is, standing on the shoulders of the giant Samsung Group to see the world. β
"But Cui Zhenlong, what did he have at the beginning? It's almost all on his own, he's really self-made, he's a real entrepreneur, and you're the keepers. There is a fundamental difference between the two! β
And that's not what I admire most about him, his greatest strength is not his intelligence and demonic forward-looking vision, but that he is very tolerant! Without the frivolity and vanity of young people, almost no one knows about making such a big achievement, and if it weren't for Yunxin, maybe even we wouldn't have noticed him. β
"Hehe~~ Now this kid must be very unkind to me, an old man, and even has a bad impression of everyone in our entire Li family, it's a pity! The age gap between him and Yunxin is too big, otherwise he would be a good candidate...", Li Jianxi seemed to be saying this last sentence to himself, and his voice became softer and softer.
Choi Jin-ryong would have been shocked to know that this old man with a pivotal position in South Korea had such a high opinion of him, and wondered why he couldn't keep a low profile? Well, now it's not a happy thing to have a pair of eyes staring at you all the time.
At this time, Cui Zhenlong, who was walking out of the Li family's mansion, was no longer here, and he was thinking about what reason he should make up to convince his doll, otherwise his ears would definitely suffer. I haven't returned to China for so long, and I just got off the plane and ran around in other places, and I don't even remember to go home, this is really the rhythm of death!
"Zhenlong, you must help me this time!" Li Yunxin suddenly spoke. However, it was obvious that Cui Zhenlong was not in a state and did not hear clearly at all, and Li Yunxin had to repeat what he had just said again.
"Hehe~~ Li Yunxin xi is really joking, you are a famous three-star princess, and I am just a child of an ordinary rich family, the gap between us is as far away as heaven and earth, what qualifications and abilities do I have to help you? You're looking for the wrong person! β
"Zhenlong, is it interesting for you to pretend to be like this in front of me?" Li Yunxin sighed helplessly, after all, the relationship between the two sides has become so stiff, and it is also caused by her and her father, to seriously say that Cui Zhenlong is still her savior, but now...
"To be honest, my family already knows Zhenlong's status in Google, so I also represent our Li family this time, I hope to borrow your right to speak there to do us a favor, and please Zhenlong, don't be busy refusing!"
When he heard Li Yunxin mention Google's name, Cui Zhenlong's eyes flashed, but he still responded quietly: "I am just a small shareholder of Google, which is insignificant at all, and I don't have as much energy as you think." β
Li Yunxin shook her head and continued: "The biggest venture capitalist behind Android, the real proposer behind the Open Phone Alliance Program... Do you want me to say more? β
This "Android company" may be unfamiliar to many people, if translated into Chinese name, it is "Android company". The company was originally founded by an engineer named Andy/Rubin with the goal of designing a mobile platform that was open to all software developers, which was the forerunner of the famous "Android operating system".
It was a coincidence that he was lucky enough to get to know this Andy, once he came to New York University to hold a lecture, and it happened that Cui Zhenlong, who happened to be studying at the time, also went to listen carefully, and after the lecture, he also deliberately found Andy for a private exchange, and later learned that the other party encountered the biggest difficulty in the development of this mobile platform, that is, the lack of sufficient financial support. And this is not a problem for Cui Zhenlong, so the two hit it off, one side provides technology, the other side provides funds, and jointly completes this cross-era product.
And after the project was completed, Andy sent an email to Larry/Page (Larry Page), the founder of Google, on a whim, and coincidentally the two of them met at a lecture. Well, I have to admit that this guy named Andy Rubin had good shit luck, but two lectures changed his life. And after this incident, Cui Zhenlong was also glad that he had such a shameless habit of asking questions at the beginning, otherwise he would really miss a big opportunity.
As for the next thing to be simpler, Google is quite interested in this operating platform, they proposed to wholly acquire the Android company, Cui Zhenlong is of course unwilling to do this, and then after some bargaining between the agents of the two sides, and finally through the way of share exchange, he obtained a part of Google's shares as he wished.
However, what really made Cui Zhenlong pay attention to Google's senior management was the "Open Phone Alliance Program" that he proposed and proposed after the acquisition of Android.
This plan mainly refers to the joint development of this operating system based on the open part of the Android (Android) system source code (PS: this is not 100% open, the kernel source code is not open), and the world's leading mobile phone manufacturers, mobile phone chip manufacturers and mobile operators work together to develop this operating system. The aim is to counter the growing power of Apple and break the monopoly of its self-developed IOS operating system.
In November 2007, Google officially announced the formation of the "Open Handset Alliance", a global alliance organization, and Cui Zhenlong also took the opportunity to obtain a seat on Google's board of directors and have a certain right to speak, but his actions are quite low-key, and few people know his identity.
"I can't imagine that even such a secret thing can be known to your Li family, and it really can't be underestimated" Cui Zhenlong said with a smile, "Tell me, what can I get after I help you?" β
"The friendship of our Li family!"
"Heh~ Is this the attitude of your Li family? Sure enough, it's the true nature of a businessman! I said Lee Yoon-hin xi, are you too naΓ―ve? Treat me Cui Zhenlong as a three-year-old child? It's not in ancient times now, what kind of friendship are you talking to me about? What a big joke! Do you Li family do less about stabbing teammates in the back? Let's be practical! β
