Chapter two hundred and ninetieth court training

Zhou Liwen was shocked. He never expected Lee Kun-hee to make such a request. Zhou Liwen was fine at all about opening a smartphone system. When he commissioned Cisco to design the system, he focused on opening the system because he knew that the development of smartphones was the most important part. Only by developing the system can one be invincible.

From this point of view, Zhou Liwen is eager to let Samsung use its own system, and even if this system is given to Samsung for free, it will be fine. Lee Kun-hee's technology provision for TCL company also made Zhou Liwen excited. From an institutional perspective, Samsung Electronics, which is actually the same as TCL's main business, but the two companies cannot compare. Samsung is a well-known global enterprise, and TCL is only slightly famous in China. TCL's current technologies are all technical products that Samsung has eliminated or even eliminated the second generation, and the core product Samsung fares TCL.

Even if Lee Kun-hee uses a trick, the technology provided to TCL is not Samsung's current most advanced technology, but the next generation of technology is enough to make TCL ecstatic. What's more, Lee Kun-hee finally mentioned the touch screen technology, which made Zhou Li-wen even more itchy. If he could get this technology, it wouldn't mean he wouldn't have to suffer from it in the future?

But then he thought about it again, Zhou Liwen quickly woke up and couldn't help but curse the old fox in his heart. Although the suggestion made by Lee Kun-hee was like a pie in the world for Zhou Liwen, he actually gained more benefits.

Let’s not talk about the problem of the mobile phone system. Because smartphones have just been released, Zhou Liwen is preparing to vigorously promote the opening of the system and is still in secret, especially his Orz online store, according to the plan, will have to wait for the second-generation smartphone, that is, the touch screen smartphone will be released before it will be released simultaneously. Therefore, it is normal for Lee Kun-hee to not know about this situation for the time being.

But for joint laboratories, including technology exchanges, Lee Kun-hee benefits far more than Chow Lee. You should know that compared with Samsung Group, Chow Lee's foundation is far less than Samsung. To give a simple example, a cutting-edge technology at the same time is completely different in the hands of Chow Lee Kun-hee. Samsung Group can use its huge researchers, including its factories and facilities to absorb the technology in the shortest time and convert it into products. However, Chow Lee has to spend more effort and time to achieve this goal.

Another key is the quality of personnel and facilities. With the same touch screen, Samsung's manufacturing process and facilities can perfectly control the quality standards of the product, but it is really difficult to do this in TCL. Even in later generations, there are many mobile phone manufacturers and even semiconductor manufacturers, and there are many people with strong strength. Even with touch screen technology, there are not many gaps between us, and there are also companies that stand on the same sequential line with Samsung. But the question is why Samsung is still the best touch screen manufacturer in the world? Can't this make people think deeply?

The Chinese have always had a misunderstanding of their thoughts, which is independence and self-reliance. Whether after the founding of the People's Republic of China or before the liberation, Chinese government enterprises and private enterprises habitually did this. Zhou Liwen almost fell into Lee Kun-hee's trap, but fortunately he woke up quickly.

Just imagine, what's the use of taking a bunch of technologies that cannot achieve product effects? Even if these technical reserves are kept in your own hands, they will become obsolete products in less than many years. On the contrary, relying on such cooperation, they have gained much more benefits than Zhou Liwen. On the surface, they are equal, but in fact they are unequal.

In response, Zhou Liwen smiled and told Lee Kun-hee that he was willing to carry out comprehensive cooperation with Samsung in terms of his personal aspects, but this fact is too large and involves too wide, and it is not his only one who can decide. So he suggested that both parties should discuss the touch screen project first according to the original plan and determine the project before talking about other cooperation. As for other cooperation, they can be done step by step.

"Of course there is no problem with this. In the words of you Chinese, you can't become fat even if you eat at one breath." Lee Kun-hee's face was not dissatisfied at all, but instead agreed with a smile as before.

Then, he told Zhou Liwen that since it was too late today, as the master, he invited Zhou Liwen to fall here temporarily and wait until tomorrow he would send someone to send Zhou Liwen back. As for the formal negotiation arrangements, he also told his subordinates that as long as Zhou Liwen was willing, he could start anytime and anywhere.

Thanking Lee Kun-hee, Zhou Liwen tentatively asked if the project negotiations could start tomorrow afternoon. Lee Kun-hee agreed without thinking. Then he rang the bell and called the housekeeper to explain these things. Then the housekeeper respectfully asked Zhou Liwen to go to the room arranged for him to see if he was satisfied. Zhou Liwen smiled and said thank you, said goodbye to Lee Kun-hee, and then left with the housekeeper.

Zhou Liwen left, and Lee Kun-hee was still sitting in a wheelchair looking at the scenery outside, her eyes seemed a little dazed, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

"Father……."

I don’t know how long it took, but his son Lee Jae-yong, who had just been scolded by him, came behind him at some point, holding a thin blanket in his hand.

"It's cold at night, father, please be careful." He gently covered the blanket on Lee Kun-hee's knee, and Lee Jae-yong reminded with his eyebrows down.

"Push me in!" Lee Kun-hee ordered in a cold tone.

Lee Jae-yong pushed Lee Kun-hee back to the room, then poured a glass of water for Lee Kun-hee, and looked like a filial son.

But Lee Kun-hee was not moved at all, and even her expression as if she was bathing in the spring breeze when she was talking to Zhou Liwen just now turned into a severe and cold look. He squinted his eyes and looked at his son. The son standing in front of him has the highest education in several universities and is much more handsome than him. To outsiders, he seems young and promising, and he is also the prince of Samsung. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a pride of heaven.

"Do you know where you are wrong?" He looked at his son coldly, causing Lee Jae-yong to sweat. Then Lee Kun-hee asked in a bad tone.

Lee Jae-yong licked his bitter lips and said respectfully: "I violated your father's arrangement and made a proposition without authorization."

"Hmph!" Lee Kun-hee snorted coldly, looking at Lee Jae-yong like a knife, and suddenly shouted: "Kneel down!"

"Hi!"

Lee Jae-yong knelt in front of Lee Kun-hee without saying a word. He was worried and was waiting for the next thunderous moment. Maybe he would have to be slapped a few times today. If he had known this way, he would not have been smart enough. Who would have thought that this would happen?

"I asked you to kneel down because you took your own initiative, nor because you did something like that to be rude to our guests. Do you know why?"

Lee Kun-hee did not slap her son in the face as she imagined, but instead asked a serious question. Lee Jae-yong was stunned and his mind was a little confused. He had always thought it was because of his own decision, and wasn't this the reason for apologizing in front of Zhou Liwen today? But the words his father asked now made him very puzzled. If it weren't for this, why would his father be so angry?

Lee Jae-yong, who had not figured it out even though he had thought about it, asked Lee Kun-hee to make it clear that when he saw that his son was not enlightened, Lee Kun-hee suddenly felt like he was Sun Chung-mou. This son looked good, but in fact, he was a fool, which was far from his back then.

But what about being a fool? Lee Jae-yong is Lee Kun-hee's eldest son, and he is the successor he has trained for so many years. He sighed speechlessly, and Lee Kun-hee asked, "Do you know what kind of company Orz is? Do you know what kind of person is Zhou Li-wen?"

“I… know a little.”

"You know? If you know, you won't make such a decision!" Lee Kun-hee said with great gratitude: "Since Orz entered the mobile phone industry two years ago, it has occupied a certain share of the Chinese mobile phone market in just one year. After their smartphones were launched, as the world's first smartphone manufacturer, it has now become an influential company around the world."

"yes……."

Lee Jae-yong replied disapprovingly, he felt that he knew very well. Why did his father say these things that everyone knows?

But he didn't expect that Lee Kun-hee would start to talk to him about Chow Liwen, including the establishment of Orz and the grievances and struggles with MediaTek at the beginning. With Lee Kun-hee's account, Lee Jae-yong was becoming more and more surprised. He never expected that Chow Liwen would be so difficult. He not only owned many companies, but also was a director of Scopa, a shareholder of Cisco, a director of Shanghai Bank, etc., but also had some backgrounds of senior management in mainland China. Even the grievances and struggles between Chow Liwen and Tsai Ming-je were even more shocked. He never expected that the final black hand of the disintegration of MediaTek was actually Chow Liwen who was looked down upon by him and played tricks.

"I understand your idea. Do you think that our mobile phones used methods in China's approval procedures last week? Do you think you have to take revenge if you are not convinced? In addition, Orz's smartphone sales have made you feel the threat of competition in the mobile phone industry, right?"

Did it happen for two consecutive days? Lee Jae-yong could only nod in silence.

Lee Kun-hee looked at her son and asked angrily: "What kind of company is our Samsung?"

"It is a group company, the largest comprehensive enterprise in South Korea."

"Haha, you actually remember that Samsung's business is a comprehensive business. I thought you only knew that Samsung only produced a single product with mobile phones." Lee Kun-hee said sarcastically.

This sentence immediately made Lee Jae-yong understand. He finally knew why his father punished him. It turned out that he narrowed his positioning of Samsung from the beginning. He cooperated with Zhou Liwen for the overall interests of Samsung, not just for the single product of mobile phones. Mobile phone manufacturing is only one of Samsung Electronics. Lost watermelon for sesame seeds. This is the real reason why Lee Kun-hee was extremely dissatisfied. Otherwise, with an ordinary potential partner, let alone Lee Jae-yong tricked the other party, even if he found someone to drive the other party out of South Korea, Lee Kun-hee would not blink, let alone apologize in person.

"But my father, haven't you always said that Samsung Electronics' main business in the future is mobile phone manufacturing? If Orz continues to develop and leap over old manufacturers like Nokia, then......"

"Idiot!" Lee Kun-hee couldn't help but curse, "Do you remember a word I often taught you? Crisis always comes when you think it's first! People standing at the highest point often fall the worst, don't you understand?"

"Hi!" This time Lee Jae-yong finally understood that he admired his scheming father and was full of energy.
