Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth disrespect

Samsung Group is the largest corporate group in South Korea. When people mention Samsung, they will definitely think of the first Samsung logo with a blue rugby shape and a white English letter inlaid in the middle. But in fact, Samsung Group has more than 80 subsidiaries and several legal entities, among which Samsung Electronics is the most famous one.

The famous Samsung mobile phone is a product of Samsung Electronics, but few people know that Samsung touch screen manufacturers do not belong to Samsung Electronics, but to Samsung Corning under Samsung Group. However, unlike Corning in the United States, Samsung Corning is a joint venture between Samsung Group and Corning in the United States. The two companies each hold 50% of the shares, but the operating rights are in the hands of Samsung Group.

Corning, a world-renowned manufacturer of special glass and ceramics in the United States, is also a pioneer of TV display tubes. Corning's display technology department has strong technical strength. After establishing Samsung Corning with Samsung Group, Samsung has developed rapidly with Corning's technical support, thus establishing its own Samsung display company, which is under Samsung Electronics.

The famous Samsung touch screen technology was jointly developed by Samsung Corning and Samsung Electronics, and its production was mainly handled by Samsung Corning. Therefore, Zhou Liwen and his team not only had to deal with Samsung Electronics during this trip, but also had to obtain a cooperation agreement through Samsung Corning. This is also one of the main reasons why Zhou Liwen specially brought Sgopa personnel to the United States. After all, Samsung Corning is a South Korean-US joint venture company, and Americans may have a smooth negotiation.

Zhou Liwen and his party flew directly from Shanghai to Seoul. Of course, this city will be renamed "Seoul" by South Korea in a few years. But in Zhou Liwen's eyes, the name Seoul is much more connotative than the inexplicable Seoul. In his opinion, the sticks are simply a waste of farting. Can potatoes be called potatoes or ground eggs, potatoes, and taro are not potatoes? What is this a joke?

Of course, Zhou Liwen said this in his heart. He was not so stupid about talking about these topics on the territory of Kanzi. The hotel was booked before departure and chose the InterContinental Jiangnan Hotel. The location and transportation of this hotel are very convenient, and it is a new hotel with good facilities and housing.

The person who came to pick up the plane was the head of Orz's branch in Korea. He said it was a branch, but it was actually just an office organization. This branch was mainly responsible for the technical cooperation between the research institute and Goryeo University, and with him were two professors and several assistants from the Electronic Laboratory of Goryeo University.

Liao Yuancheng has always been responsible for the work in South Korea. After the exit meeting, Liao Yuancheng introduced Professor Jin Huanzhi and Professor Cui Zhenglong from Goryeo University to Zhou Liwen and others. These two professors, Professor Jin Huanzhi, are the director of the laboratory, and Professor Cui Zhenglong is the project leader. They have greatly helped in the design of Orz chip systems.

"Professor Jin, Professor Cui, I have been admiring for a long time. I originally wanted to visit the two of you at the Goryeo University tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet at the airport today. It's so polite to be able to pick you up." Zhou Liwen hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with the other party, and said in English with a smile.

Professor Jin Huanzhi is in his fifties, medium-sized hair, but his face is rosy and looks very good. Professor Choi Zhenglong is in his forties, thin and tall, wearing glasses, and looks very technician.

"Haha, Jay Chou comes to Seoul. As an old friend of cooperation, how can he not come to pick him up?" Professor Jin Huanzhi spoke fluent Chinese, which surprised Zhou Liwen.

However, the young Professor Cui Zhenglong did not understand Chinese and could only communicate with Zhou Liwen in English. The two sides made a few remarks and then walked out of the airport together.

While everyone was walking towards the car parked outside, a man suddenly ran overwhelmed. Perhaps because he was running too fast, he suddenly bumped into a person walking behind.

"I'm a Siba!"

The man who was hit was one of the assistants of the two professors. The young man in his twenties was almost hit and handed over. Fortunately, his feet were stable so that he didn't make a fool of himself. But even so, he was so angry that he was so embarrassed in front of the guest that he turned around and scolded.

“(*Y^!2@!Z….”

A series of Korean words emerged from his mouth, and the person who bumped into him bowed and apologized, and seemed to be asking something. Hearing the voice coming from behind, Professor Jin Huanzhi stopped unhappily and shouted at the assistant.

The assistant said something to the man who collided with him, and then hurriedly ran over to report to Professor Jin Huanzhi. Professor Jin Huanzhi was stunned after hearing this, and then confirmed it to him. After he answered again, Professor Jin Huanzhi said to Zhou Liwen: "Dr. Jay Chou, someone behind him said it was a cadre sent by Samsung Group. Do you think...?"

"Samsung people? Then ask him to come over." Zhou Liwen nodded. This time he came to negotiate with Samsung, which was originally the thread that Professor Jin Huanzhi was in it, but when he first picked up the plane, he didn't see Samsung's people. He thought that Samsung had not sent anyone to the airport. He had arrived after getting a long time, but it was a little later. Since he was going to meet the staff of Samsung, he still had to give him this face.

Professor Jin Huanzhi explained to his assistant, and the assistant turned back and quickly brought the person over. But when he saw this person, Professor Jin Huanzhi frowned and asked him a few words in Korean before he could speak.

The visitor was wearing a suit and a tie, and he saw that he was like a white-collar employee in the company. When he saw Professor Jin Huanzhi and others, he bowed respectfully, and then seemed to be asking who was Chairman Zhou Liwen. When he learned that Zhou Liwen was the youngest among them, he obviously had a hint of surprise on his face. Then he said a lot of Korean language that Zhou Liwen couldn't understand. After he finished speaking, he bowed, handed over a business card and then turned around and left.

Zhou Liwen was confused and had no idea what this Samsung man had said to him. He could only turn his eyes to Professor Jin Huanzhi and Professor Cui Zhenglong beside him, but who would have thought that Professor Jin Huanzhi's faces were not very good-looking, especially Professor Jin Huanzhi's eyes still had an unconcealed anger.

"Professor Kim..."

"Jay Jay Chou, let's get in the car first."

"good!"

Zhou Liwen didn't refuse either. He followed them into a Hyundai car. The car went smoothly out of the airport and arrived at the hotel soon. Professor Jin Huanzhi, Professor Cui Zhenglong and Zhou Liwen entered the hotel room together. When there were no outsiders in the room, the two professors suddenly bowed to Zhou Liwen.

"What... what is this?" Zhou Liwen was startled and hurriedly reached out to support him, but the other party was 90 degrees. Zhou Liwen didn't know where to support him with both hands, so he could only sideways and avoid them.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jay Chou, this is apologizing to you for the rudeness of our compatriots." Professor Cui Zhenglong said to Zhou Liwen with a dark face. Monk Zhou Liwen was confused and hurriedly asked what was going on.

When the two were asked to sit down on the sofa, Professor Jin Huanzhi and Professor Choi Zhenglong shook their heads and sighed. Professor Choi Zhenglong started to explain. After listening to the explanation, Zhou Liwen realized why they had such a sudden action.

It turned out that the person who was at the airport just now was indeed a Samsung person, but he was just a very ordinary employee of Samsung. He had a position in the Samsung Group at most, such as the group leader or small supervisor. The translation of the words he said to Zhou Liwen was that he welcomed Zhou Liwen on behalf of Samsung Group and Samsung Electronics, and said that Samsung Group hopes that Chairman Jay Chou will contact him in advance after settling down so that Samsung Group can arrange time and hold interviews between the two parties.

If such a thing is placed elsewhere, it would be nothing. At most, it would be like Samsung to be too arrogant and not fulfill its obligation to be a master. But in a country that pays great attention to magnanimity and rules, Samsung Group's approach is very rude, not to mention that in front of Professor Kim Hwan-chi and Professor Choi Jung-long, it almost slapped them in the face in front of them.

You should know that Zhou Liwen came to Korea this time mainly for two things. The first thing is to visit Goryeo University to promote further cooperation between the two sides in research. The second thing is to negotiate with Samsung's touch screen, and whether it is the former or the latter, it has a lot to do with Professor Kim Hwan-chi and Professor Choi Jung-long.

Let’s not talk about the former. As the director and the project leader, although the two professors met with Zhou Liwen for the first time, the cooperation between the two parties has been going on for nearly two years, and the cooperation has been very pleasant in the past two years. In the latter, Zhou Liwen’s negotiations with Samsung Group were precisely led by Goryeo University, especially Professor Kim Huanzhi. As an intermediary, he hopes that Zhou Liwen can reach a cooperation agreement with South Korea’s Samsung. This is not only a favor for Zhou Liwen, but also a help from a Korean to his own country’s companies.

But who would have thought that although Samsung Group agreed to the negotiations and invited Zhou Liwen to South Korea, when the other party got off the plane, not only did not send someone of weight to greet him, but instead sent only a low-level cadre to pick him up like a joke. He even said such rude words, how could not make these two professors angry?

In their opinion, this is not only a rude attitude towards Zhou Liwen, but also a loss of face from the Koreans. In particular, Professor Kim Hwan-chi, as a well-known signboard of Goryeo University, has a high status in the academic community. If such a thing is to be spread, someone may take advantage of the issue and accuse him of his character.

"Two professors, how can you blame you? This may be a mistake from Samsung." Zhou Liwen, who figured out the truth, was also a little angry. Although Samsung Group is awesome, his Orz company is not bad in the mobile phone industry. Moreover, this time there are also people from Sgopa in the United States. Samsung almost deliberately gave himself a warning. But no matter what, this matter has nothing to do with the two professors. Zhou Liwen is not an unreasonable person, so he had to comfort the two who were very angry.

Who would have thought that Professor Jin Huanzhi was very unrelieved and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter. The journey is tiring. Please ask Jay Chou to have a good rest today. Let's say goodbye first and see you tomorrow at Goryeo University..."

"Goodbye!"

The two professors stood up at the same time and bowed to Zhou Liwen, then turned around and left with their faces.
