Chapter 119: The Night Banquet
After listening to the relays of his subordinates. Samsung's chief executive, Lee Keon-hee, was lost in thought, and at the age of 67, he was a taciturn man with a tough work style and a reputation for aggressiveness in executing the company's strategy. When he took the helm of the mega company at the age of 45, he launched a regeneration movement that transformed Samsung's original growth focus on quantity into a quality-focused model.
On the other side of the table, several other senior managers of the group could not see what Li Jianxi was thinking in his heart, and the coercion formed by the long-term strong leader made him silent and silent.
After a long time, Li Jianxi lightly tapped the desktop with his fingers and said slowly: "What do you think of Tang Menglong?" ”
"A very young man, very talented."
"HIS COMPANY IS GROWING RAPIDLY, BUT ITS FOUNDATION IS NOT STRONG, AND AT THIS WORLD IT CONFERENCE, IT IS SAID THAT IT HAS TURNED AGAINST ORACLE AND OTHER COMPANIES."
Listening to everyone's chaotic discussions, Li Jianxi, who had a square head and a big face, nodded lightly, as if he was appreciative? When the discussion was over, he stood up and propped up the table with both hands.
"Tang is a person, and he has talent. But more in terms of its technology, nothing else is lacking. I have a feeling that this person still has a mentality of being born in a civilian background, so his vision is not high. ”
Li Jianxi didn't speak fast, and every word was firm and powerful, "Now that he is a little anxious, his mentality will inevitably be confused." There is no shopping mall veteran by Tang's side, and the person named Wang Xuening is just a hairy child.
Ladies and gentlemen, the mobile phone market is at a critical juncture of transition, and Nokia is currently stuck in a huge mud pit, so this is our opportunity.
You have also seen a detailed report on the mobile phone system of Pioneer Software, which is far more technically than other mobile phone operating systems on the market, and neither Symbian nor Android is its opponent. So this is a huge opportunity for us in the transition period. ”
Everyone nodded yes, and after a brief conversation, Li Jianxi made the decision that there would be an informal secret meeting with Pioneer in the evening. When everyone walked out of the room one after another, Li Jianxi suddenly stopped Kim Quanchang, the deputy minister of the public relations department,
"That Tang Menglong, do you really like Korean dramas as much as you like in intelligence?"
Jin Quanchang nodded and said: "It shouldn't be wrong, this high school named Tang Menglong and his classmates in India have found a few of them, saying that he likes to watch Korean dramas." ”
"Yes, that's right." Li Jianxi closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes, took a piece of sticky note paper, wrote a few words on it and handed it to the deputy director of public relations. "Go ahead and keep it a secret."
Looking at the contents of the note, Jin Quanchang's eyebrows jumped slightly, but he quickly calmed down, bowed and withdrew, and when he closed the door gently, he took out the note and looked at it thoughtfully.
At the Koryo Hotel, Wang Xuening was busy, opening all the travel bags, spreading out the items he carried, and classifying all kinds of gadgets purchased from the United States and South Korea according to their attributes. It's understandable what kind of video game consoles, electronic toys and the like, and there are all kinds of women's cosmetics mixed in them, which makes people feel that Xiao Wang is still very fraternal.
Dang Weimin glanced at him, then flipped through the RSS news on his mobile phone, and in order to understand current affairs, he ordered a bunch of IT industry news in one go. I collect hundreds of them every day, and most of them just take the time to look twice. Originally, it was planned to remove some of the subscriptions, but the plan could not keep up with the changes, and now a bunch of news on medicine, biology and chemistry has been added, and there are almost 300 pieces a day.
He understands why all the big leaders have secretaries, otherwise all current affairs depend on the leaders to find out, and then they can't do the right thing. This secretary is still very important. At least the thinking should be sharp, the observation should be detailed, and the leader should be able to know what the leader cares about recently. Dang Weimin found that his subordinates could take on this role basically not, Wang Xuening, forget it, it is estimated that it will be successful after a few more years of training.
"Brother Tang, the air tickets have been booked, and China Eastern Airlines will fly directly to Modu at noon tomorrow." Wang Xuening answered a phone call, it was from the general service desk, and after finishing speaking, he paused for a moment before saying, "Brother Tang, let's just go back like this?" Why don't we get in touch with them again? ”
"No, if they can't even do that, they don't have to cooperate." The party turned the mobile phone news back for the people, and re-read the prompt just now, "If they don't come, let's find someone else, and the most unsuccessful way is to do it ourselves." ”,
"You say, let's do our own mobile phones? I think it's okay, but the sales channel, including the license, is a problem. In addition, the country's attitude towards this kind of OEM production of 'copycat' machines has been very vague. Wang Xuening knows that the streets in China are full of copycat machines, even him, in addition to a Nokia N95, there is also a knockoff machine called "South Korea's Samsung", which is much more magnificent than N95 on the surface, but the effect is far inferior.
To be honest, the party is also quite irritable for the people, and judging from the communication stolen by the Internet, Samsung has a deep impression of its own products. There is a real willingness to cooperate. When I was in the United States, Samsung's representatives were very modest and not so sloppy when they were in South Korea.
If Samsung doesn't come, Lao Tzu will drive home! The party has some opinions about the south Koreans now, and it is estimated that they are pressing the treasure and hoping that they will not be able to hold their breath. He really wanted to make this cooperation, but there were still a few big things that he couldn't handle, and he didn't have the time to play here with the sticks.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, his satellite phone rang, and Dang Weimin took the phone, and it was Kim Yong's who very politely invited him to a barbecue restaurant in South Korea for a small "friendship."
Putting down the phone, he smiled, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground, knowing that the agitation method had worked.
"Xiao Wang, don't clean up, we'll go to the banquet in a while. Li Jianxi's old guy finally stretched out his head and showed his original form. ”
Legend has it that it is difficult for Koreans to eat meat, and every time they eat beef, it is like a big meal, and this has been exaggerated in China, and many people who have been to Korea have spread this story vividly. In fact, the overall income of Koreans is still very high, and they can afford to eat beef, but it is certainly not cheap to go to a restaurant to eat once, even if it is Chinese. You can't go to the hotel out of your own pocket.
Coming to this glorious Korean-style barbecue restaurant in Jinbi, Dang Weimin can see that there are not many people who can eat here, and from the perspective of clothing, they are basically upper-class wealthy people. Just like the people who can eat in Beijing hotel restaurants, there is no low-income bottom of society.
The service lady was very beautiful, wearing a Korean national costume - a maternity dress, and with a smile on her face, she introduced Dang Weimin, Wang Xuening and Jin Yong into a luxurious private room.
The room was sized, with Arabic carpets on the floor, and four men already sat at the long dining table. When they saw someone coming in, they all raised their heads slightly and looked at them, and the party for the people felt a jealousy in their hearts.
Among them is an elderly man sitting in the upper seat. With a square face, high cheekbones, and a fine light in his small eyes, the party knows that he is the legendary head of Samsung Group - Li Jianxi. This old man is known as the shadow president of South Korea, and it is said that there are traces of this old man in every government operation. For example, in 2007, the old man was sentenced to two years on two counts, but within a few months, the old man Li actually swaggered back out of the world. On the contrary, the then president Roh Moo-hyun was called to the prosecutor's office several times at the beginning of the year to explain the problem in the name of embezzlement by relatives and friends.
The relationship between the current small-eyed "thin" president Lee Myung-bak and these large enterprises in South Korea is entangled, and it is estimated that he is also a puppet of old men such as Lee Jianxi. The party was secretly thinking about it in his heart, and nodded to Mr. Li.
"President Tang, this is the head of our company, Mr. Li Jianxi." Jin Yong's waist was about to bow to ninety degrees, and his attitude was extremely modest.
"Hello, Mr. Li. You're my idol, and I admire you so much. The party sat down on his knees in the designated position for the people and bowed to Li Jianxi in accordance with etiquette.
"Hehe, don't dare to be. President Tang is young and promising, and in just this short period of time, he has made such a big career, which I admire. Li Jianxi's usually stiff face also loosened, and he smiled and pointed to the other three, "We old guys, at your age, are far from having this kind of achievement." ”
The party for the people estimated that the other three were all high-level executives of Samsung, so they bowed politely, and the other three saw it, and they all politely returned the salute one by one.
"I haven't introduced you yet. This bald old guy is called Shigeru Goomoto, an old friend of mine for many years, and now the chairman of LG Group. Li Jianxi pointed to a tall and thin old man beside him and said, "He's a very smart person." ”
"Huh?" The party was shocked by the people, this old man turned out to be not from Samsung Group, but the chairman of LG Group?
Also, this courteous gentleman is called Yasuo Nishiguchi, and he is the chairman of Kyocera in Japan. That young man is our most important partner of Samsung, Mikio Katayama, president of Sharp in Japan. ”,
Listening to Li Jianxi's introduction, the party tried its best to suppress the excitement in his heart for the people. Still greeting the other three in a regular manner. But the heart has already set off a monstrous giant*. He did not expect that Samsung actually did not act alone, but pulled in several important allies, LG needless to say, the Chinese know very well.
Kyocera and Sharp are less famous in China than the two South Korean companies, in fact, these two Japanese companies are one of the world's top 500 companies, and they are both huge superpowers in Japan and South Korea. Together, these four companies have hundreds of billions of dollars in total assets, and if they want to do something together, they will inevitably make a big wave in a certain industry.
The thinking of the party for the people turned rapidly, calculating the other party's intentions and purposes. Being able to bring together the leaders of these four companies can show that these companies attach great importance to their mobile phone intelligent system. In the past two days, Samsung has thrown itself aside, it seems that it is not only a drag relationship, but more importantly, the leaders of these four companies are constantly discussing related matters. Even if you don't speak in the afternoon, the negotiations will start quickly.
Gu Benmao looked much more open than Li Jianxi, "Come on, young man, let's have an appetizer tonight, the body is important." President Tang is still young, and some things may not be well understood, and when he is young, he works too hard, and he often has a little sequelae when he gets older. ”
There were two more people in the room, Jin Yong said a few words in Wang Xuening's ear, and Wang Xuening looked at his boss with a questioning look. Dang Weimin nodded and motioned for Wang Xuening, Jin Yong, and a few other company executives to leave the suite.
"These nasty guys are finally leaving, and it's a little offended to be in front of them." Shigeru Goo took off his tie and then unbuttoned his shirt, "I've always admired President Lee Jian-hee and President Yasuo Nishiguchi, and it's really rare to be able to maintain this demeanor all the time." ”
In this lively atmosphere, everyone showed a relieved smile, after all, it was uncomfortable to sit in front of the charcoal fire plate neatly dressed. So everyone relaxed a little, of course, there are not many like the president of LG, even the party for the people only took off their coats, and the buttons of their shirts were still tightly fastened, to be honest, he had never eaten with so many big people, and it was impossible to say that he was not restrained.
