Chapter 875: Meeting and Drinking
Looking at the young man with extraordinary bearing and ordinary appearance in front of him, Jin Yourong, who was standing on the side, felt very uncomfortable. Even in the financial turmoil of '97, Samsung has never been so embarrassed now.
Scandals such as Samsung's political donations, tax evasion, and bribery forced Chairman Lee to resign. This has sparked turmoil in the management of Samsung Group, forcing Samsung Group to make no big moves in the near future.
Just when Jin Yourong complained about Lu Jing in his heart, Li Jianxi said lightly: "The main reason for inviting Mr. Lu to come over to meet him this time is to ask Mr. Lu, is the transaction of rare earth ore still counted?" β
Hearing this, Lu Jing thought for a while and somewhat understood. It seems that his background information, Samsung has investigated. Lee Kun-hee was clearly mistaken in thinking that he had a big say in rare earth affairs. Immediately said with an unmoved expression: "I will not stop Samsung C&T from acquiring rare earth ores, but how much Samsung C&T's production capacity is acquired depends on what my country's quota is." β
This is the attitude of neither stopping nor helping.
Li Jianxi nodded slightly and said calmly, "I understand." I heard that you are preparing to build a TD-SCDMA 3G network in Seoul in cooperation with SK Telecom. Could it be that your country is finally preparing to implement its own 3G standard in the communications market? β
Lu Jing took a sip of tea and said in a simulated way: "It depends on the use of the TD network after the construction." β
The flagship company of the Samsung Group is Samsung Electronics. As the head of Samsung, Lee Kun-hee is concerned that there is a lot of momentum in China at present, and his willingness to build a 3G network is normal. Lu Jing naturally wouldn't say anything about his plan.
However, Lu Jing also admitted that the cooperation with SK Telecom was an experimental attempt. With Samsung's influence in South Korea, this kind of thing will definitely not be hidden. It's better to say it generously.
Lee Kun-hee frowned slightly.
Kim Yourong Zhi Dao Chairman Li was not satisfied with Lu Jing's answer.
Samsung's original failure to explore the Chinese market was to pin its hopes on building a CDMA network in China. But in the end. The commercial civilian is the GSM network. Fortunately, Samsung adjusted its strategy in a timely manner, so that Samsung did not lag too far behind in the Chinese market.
At this time, Chairman Li naturally hopes to peek into China's determination and direction of building a 3G network from Lu Jingkou. Unexpectedly. Lu Jing was young, but his answer was not leaky.
Jin Yourong was about to speak, when a burst of footsteps came from outside the door, and Li Yixin, who was wearing a goose-yellow short skirt, came in from outside the door with a smile, and said happily: "Dad, I heard that you are banqueting Lu Jing, let me come and take a look." β
Kim Yourong's face became a little embarrassed. Chairman Lee had no intention of entertaining Lu Jing at all. Lu Jing made Samsung so embarrassed, how could he still treat him like a guest. This meeting is just a meeting.
Lee Kun-hee's brows furrowed. With a doting smile on his face, he said, "Yixin, sit down." As he spoke, he instructed Jin Yourong: "Yourong, bring my precious bottle of Bordeaux red wine." I had a drink with Mr. Lu. β
The beautiful Li Yixin smiled briskly at Lu Jing, and then sat beside Li Jianxi obediently. It can be seen that she is very favored by Lee Kun-hee.
Lu Jing showed a smile since entering Chengzhi Garden, and nodded slightly. It was really Li Yixin, a young woman who smiled at him with kindness, and he couldn't keep a straight face. What's more, the two had a relationship before.
The media will always deify a person. Exceptional talent may stand out in some ways and less satisfying in others. Lee Kun-hee's aura would not have an impact on Lu Jing at all. A character whose aura is much more powerful than Lee Kun-hee. He also sees it often. And Lee Kun-hee's stiff conversation like an emperor made Lu Jing dissatisfied. He was not a subordinate of Lee Kun-hee.
In fact, before Li Yixin came in, Lu Jing already had the intention of saying goodbye in his heart.
It is clear that the rare earth Q&A is nothing more than a faΓ§ade. This meeting. Lee Kun-hee wanted to determine his personality and style of behavior through a conversation. In this regard, Lu Jing asked himself how to deceive Lee Kun-hee.
And Lu Jing's idea of coming to see Lee Kun-hee was just to pay homage to this legendary figure. Actually. There's nothing central to talk to Lee Kun-hee either. Now that he has seen it, he has no idea of becoming friends with Samsung. Naturally, I don't want to.
Li Jianxi seemed to see Lu Jing's thoughts and said, "Mr. Lu." Even if we are enemies, we can sit down and have a drink. β
"I'm starting to look forward to President Lee's red wine now." Lu Jing smiled freely. This sentence is a little interesting.
Lee Kun-hee was stunned for a short time, then smiled and began to drink tea.
Hearing Lu Jing's words, Li Yixin covered her mouth in surprise. Lu Jing's subtext is that her father: It is better to be famous than to meet, and it is not worthy of the name. How dare anyone say such a thing to her father.
Lu Jing ignored Li Yixin's surprised expression, smiled slightly, and drank tea slowly.
Lu Jing once read a media report on Lee Kun-hee. It was described as follows: Even if her daughter was sitting next to him, she didn't know what he was thinking. Lee Kun-hee's ability to nourish qi is very deep.
Li Yixin's eyes were slightly bent, and she suddenly felt that the two people in the room seemed to be "fighting" without words. It was interesting to her.
Kim Woo-young quickly fetched the red wine and came back. Behind him, a maid dressed in traditional Korean costume held the red wine in her hand, skillfully opened the red wine on a few corners, and then retreated.
Li Yixin took the initiative to take on the responsibility of pouring wine. Watching the red liquor fall into the glass, Lu Jing looked at this beautiful woman who would fall in love with an investment consultant of a European financial company in Seoul a year later, and it was hard to imagine that she would commit suicide three years later.
"Alright, Xie Lu Xie!" After Li Yixin finished pouring the wine, Lu Jing woke up from a moment of trance and said with a smile.
Li Jianxi raised his glass slightly and gestured to Lu Jing.
Lu Jing picked up the goblet in front of him and took a sip gently.
Jin Yourong, who was on the side, was surprised: How could the chairman seem to glance at Lu Jinggao on the kung fu of this meeting.
"Xie Lu, thank you President Li for your hospitality today. Hopefully we'll have the chance to meet and drink in the future. Lu Jing was not interested in continuing to kill time with Lee Kun-hee here, so he put down his wine glass and stood up to say goodbye.
Li Jianxi said slowly: "I think, there will be." β
Lu Jingjing nodded, groaned slightly, and said to Li Yixin, who also stood up to see off the guest: "Li Yixin, it's right to fight for love, it's right to commit suicide." If one day you feel that this world makes you unable to breathe, you can give me a call. β
After speaking, Lu Jing turned around and left. laughed at himself in his heart, after all, he couldn't see the tragedy happening alive in front of him. If Lee Kun-hee disagrees with Lee Yi-xin's love, he would be interested in fulfilling Lee Yat-xin.
Li Jianxi's face changed slightly, and he looked at his daughter suspiciously.
"Eh, what do you mean? Be all abroad. Li Yixin muttered, calmly facing her father's inquiring gaze.
Jin Yourong felt a trace of anger in his heart: What are these words, seduce the daughter of the president in person, but thinking about it, Lu Jing's words don't seem to mean that. Just thinking about it, Li Jianxi said lightly: "Yourong, send Mr. Lu for me." β
"Good one, President." Jin Yourong said respectfully, chasing Lu Jing out of the room.

After Lu Jing and Ding Ling converged, they left Seungji Garden in Hannam-dong by car.
Inside the car, Ding Ling asked curiously, "Oh, how did you talk to Li Jianxi?" Are there any specific issues involved? I have sent an email to Yang Xian according to your request, and Jinghua will make efforts to seize their market for several main Samsung models during this time. β
Lu Jing smiled: "How can it involve specific affairs." Actually, I wanted to get in touch with Lee Kun-hee. He had this idea in mind, and the only thing he got out was that he recognized me as his enemy. β
Jinghua is qualified to become Samsung's opponent, at least in the increasingly huge Chinese mobile phone market, Samsung Electronics can't compete with Jinghua. This trend will continue in the future. Lee Kun-hee is well aware of this. So, he asked about 3G.
In business, it is not that a $10 billion company can crush a billion dollar company at will. For an electronic company like Jinghua that is not listed, the amount of capital is useless, and it is all about technology, market, management and so on. In the end, it's all about the product.
Of course, the side with the advantage of capital has the advantage. But it's hard to say that you will win. The rise and fall of the electronics industry is sometimes a small oversight that can lead to the success of the other party.
Ding Ling smiled helplessly and said: "Are you still complacent about treating Samsung as an enemy?" β
Lu Jing smiled slightly: "Why can't you be proud?" Do elephants see ants as opponents? This shows that Li Kunxi regards me as an opponent who can threaten Samsung Electronics, isn't this an affirmation of Jinghua's current achievements from the side? β
Ding Ling thought about it and felt that what Lu Jing said made some sense. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Jing's mobile phone suddenly rang. Lu Jing looked at the number and answered the phone strangely, "Counselor Che, hello." β
He was called by Che Gaohan, the commercial counselor of the embassy.
"Lu Shao, hehe, I have something to talk to you about." Che Gaohan said straight to the point. The relationship between him and Lu Jing was handled very well during this time.
Lu Jing smiled: "Okay, let's meet in the restaurant of the Renaissance Seoul Hotel." Ding Ling and I haven't had dinner yet. β
Speaking of this, Ding Ling covered his mouth and snickered, waiting for Lu Jing to put down the phone. Ding Ling teased: "Lu Jing, we didn't even mix a meal at Samsung, it seems that your opponent has a limited weight in Li Jianxi's heart." β
Lu Jing smiled: "It seems to be the same." For the sake of this meal that I didn't eat, it seems that I must 'entertain' Samsung Electronics in China in the next few months. Try to be able to eat next time. β
Ding Ling couldn't help but laugh coquettishly, and his bright eyes glanced at Lu Jing with the charm of a little woman.

Half an hour later, in the western restaurant of the Renaissance Seoul Hotel, Lu Jing and Ding Ling saw Che Gaohan who rushed over. His unique urbane temperament makes him easily recognizable.
After seeing Lu Jing, Che Gaohan lowered his voice and said, "Lu Shao, are you interested in acquiring Hyundai Motor now?" (To be continued......)
