Chapter 440 Pantech

"I didn't expect that Mr. Lee would invite me to have tea in such a place." This Secretary-General of the Korea Fair Trade Commission is Choi Jung-nam. In a private club in Seoul, Choi Jung-nam savored the tea in front of him with a smile, and Lee Kun-hee was sitting opposite him.

The Korean Fair Trade Commission, whose English abbreviation is KPT, was inadvertently looking at this abbreviation, is extremely similar to the famous fast food industry giant KFC F0. Of course, the Korean Fair Trade Commission is not KFC's fast food industry, and even this committee does not do any business at all, but a semi-official and semi-civilian organization.

How to define the intelligence of the Korea Fair Trade Commission is probably impossible to explain clearly in a few words. Simply put, from trade exchanges between countries to the smallest impact of a trading company that imports vegetables on the income of domestic vegetable farmers, they all get into it.

But when this kick is inserted, no one can tell whether the other party agrees. For example, not long ago, the South Korean Fair Trade Commission proposed that it hopes to take measures to protect auto parts suppliers and prevent them from the harm caused by the automaker's extremely reduced purchase prices. In response, Hyundai also fined up to $660,000. Later, it targeted Daewoo and Kia, and also issued fines of varying degrees.

As a semi-official organization, the Korea Fair Trade Commission sometimes has great rights because according to the purpose of their organization, its main task is to reflect fairness and justice in trade. Judging from the low purchase prices of automobile parts manufacturers, the Korea Fair Trade Commission seems to have done a great thing. But on the contrary, in this matter, no spare parts supplier applauded, but instead privately blamed the Korea Fair Trade Commission for being too wide and stretching too long.

This incident made the Korean Fair Trade Commission a bit foul, just like the incident in the South Korean company office, which made a big joke internationally. However, the Korean Fair Trade Commission, which has always been my own business, does not care at all and declares to the public that everything they do is legitimate and necessary. Now it is misunderstood for the time being, and will eventually be understood by the beneficiaries.

From this point of view, the Korea Fair Trade Commission is somewhat similar to the Celestial Development and Reform Commission, especially the ability to do things is comparable. However, the rights of the Korea Fair Trade Commission are not as powerful as the NDRC, but from now on, its energy is no longer weak.

These days, Choi Zhengnan is a little depressed. Why is he depressed? Of course, it is because the incident of protecting auto parts suppliers was not recognized. In this incident, Choi Zhengnan was ready to launch the Korean Fair Trade Commission and his own brand, and it would be even better to win a cheer. But who would have thought that what he got in the end was not cheers but the joint scolding of both parties. In one sentence, Choi Zhengnan was Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror and not a person.

If Choi Zhengnan hadn't had thick-skinned and deep-backed enough, she might have been unable to sit down. Even so, he has been racking his brains to target the next possible goal these days to divert the impact of the last incident and restore the reputation of the Korea Fair Trade Commission.

Coincidentally, I suddenly received a call from Lee Kun-hee yesterday. Choi Jung-nam and Lee Kun-hee can only be said to have acquaintance, and the two sides did not have any friendship. Otherwise, Lee Kun-hee would not call his office landline directly, but would make a private phone call to communicate. What made Choi Jung-nam even more strange is that Lee Kun-hee took the initiative to invite him to have tea after making a noise on the phone. This invitation made Choi Jung-nam a little puzzled, but Lee Kun-hee is not an ordinary person, so this little face is still sold. Besides, Choi Jung-nam, as the secretary-general, seemed to be within his job responsibilities when he met Lee Kun-hee, the number one overlord of South Korea's business world.

After making an appointment, Choi Zhengnan went to the appointment on time. This private club is very good. Choi Zhengnan has also been here several times. The environment is quiet and elegant, and it is a very suitable place for talks.

Once again, he picked up the tea cup and drank a sip of tea. Choi Jung-nam said what he said just now with a smile. After he and Lee Kun-hee sat down, they had already said a lot of polite words from both sides. Even the tea in front of him had been added to the point, but the topic still did not get into the main topic.

If Lee Kun-hee told Choi Jung-nam that he would only come here for tea and exchange feelings today, he would not believe that Choi Jung-nam would be beaten to death. No one present was an ordinary person. One was the head of Samsung Group and a famous Korean entrepreneur. The other was the secretary-general of the Korea Fair Trade Commission. The two were in trouble every day, and the other was not a close friend who had known each other for many years. What kind of relationship could they have to communicate? If Lee Kun-hee was replaced by an old lady, Choi Jung-nam would not mind having a full-scale exchange with the beauty from the soul to the body.

As expected, Lee Kun-hee smiled faintly and finally expressed his purpose.

"Secretary General Cui, what do you think about the smartphone market in the Korea Fair Trade Commission, or what do you think personally?"

"Smartphone industry?" Choi Jung-nam was stunned, but he soon thought of the product of Samsung smartphones. Turning his brain, Choi Jung-nam was thinking about the other party's intentions, and soon he thought of the conflict between Samsung and Or. Could it be that Lee Kun-hee's purpose today was to allow him and his Korea Fair Trade Commission to target Or in an unfair way of trade competition? In order to gain initiative and benefits in the lawsuit with the other party and the acquisition of Samsung Corning?

Thinking of this, Choi Jung-nam laughed. He spoke a cliché and explained the current situation of the smartphone industry in a foggy way. Although he said a lot, he did not express any key meaning. In other words, he adopted the method of practicing Tai Chi to Lee Kun-hee's inquiry. Choi Jung-nam is extremely good at this method, or Koreans are very good at it. Otherwise, how could they say that there is a simple Tai Chi diagram printed on their national flag?

"This bastard" Li Jianxi was a little angry when he heard Choi Jung-nam talking nonsense with one blow, and he knew that Choi Jung-nam was intentional. It seemed that he had to say his intentions directly today, otherwise this nonsense might have lasted until the end and left it alone.

After thinking about it, Lee Kun-hee interrupted the other party and said with a smile: "Secretary-General Cui said it very well, and I admire it very much. However, I have some different views on the Korean smartphone market."

"Oh, but I heard it very well." Cui Zhengnan made a somewhat surprised expression and sat upright and posed for listening.

"Pan Thai company has suffered a lot of crises recently." Who would have thought that after Lee Kun-hee spoke, he mentioned Pan Thai directly, which made Choi Jung-nam a little confused. You should know that Lee Kun-hee is the head of Samsung Group and is not the chairman of Pan Thai. What does this Pan Thai company have to do with him?

Speaking of Pantai, it is a mobile phone manufacturer with a little reputation in South Korea. As early as 1991, Pantai Company was established with the communications industry as its pillar. It initially mainly engaged in wireless paging business, and later gradually intervened in mobile phone manufacturers. Around 26 years, Pantai Company launched its own brand mobile phones, and then appeared on smartphones. Pantai also launched their smartphone products one after another, and achieved certain success in the market.

South Korea is a small country, and there are only a handful of large groups like Samsung in South Korea. Compared with Samsung and even LG, Pantai can be said to be a medium-sized company. But even so, Pantai developed very rapidly after entering the smartphone industry, and eventually became the third largest mobile phone manufacturer in South Korea.

In the years since smartphones seized traditional 2 phones, Pantai has lived a very prosperous life. Judging from its operations, it shows signs of prosperity. But after all, Pantai is not a large company like Samsung and LGh. Its foundation is not a strong company, and its market strategy in the international market has not been impressive. Its main market is still in the local Korean and surrounding Southeast Asia. This situation has led to Pantai's lack of momentum, and it naturally declined after the company's development reached its peak.

Lee Kun-hee suddenly mentioned Pan-Thai Company, which not only surprised Choi Jung-nam, but also made him secretly call Lee Kun-hee, the old fox, shameless.

Yes, Pan-Thailand is indeed difficult now. It is known as the third largest mobile phone manufacturer in South Korea. Its smartphone products are not as good as in South Korea, let alone overseas. If Lee Kun-hee had not mentioned Pan-Thailand's name today, Choi Jung-nam might not have remembered that there is such a "famous" mobile phone manufacturer in South Korea.

Besides, Pantai's performance is not good, and there are many crises. What does it have to do with you Lee Kun-hee? Oh, by the way, it's Lee Kun-hee's business. If it weren't for his Samsung mobile phones that accounted for the highest local product of Korean smartphones, Pantai might not have fallen to this point. Lee Kun-hee's words did not give people the idea of ​​being emotional about Pantai. On the contrary, there was a feeling of a cat crying and a mouse as a fake compassion.

"Haha, does the Secretary-General think that as the president of Samsung Group, my feelings about Pantai are a bit too false?" Lee Kun-hee seemed to feel Choi Jung-nam's thoughts and immediately asked with a smile.

"Where is it? As Chu Qiao in the business world, Mr. Li's concern for his peers and juniors is obvious to all. Maybe Mr. Li mentioned Pantai because of this attitude, right?" Choi Zhengnan is not a fool. Of course, he could not point directly at Lee Kun-hee and tell the truth. His eyes turned, and he quickly said a guess that seemed very decent.

Unexpectedly, Lee Kun-hee actually beat a snake and followed the stick. She nodded in agreement with his words and said with emotion: "Yes, Secretary-General, you understand me."

"Shameless Old Fox" Choi Jung-nam looked at the serious Lee Kun-hee and couldn't help but curse in her stomach.
