Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 634 Advancing (Two in One)

The Rockets regretted losing their first game in the Western Conference Finals.

When Fang Zhuo bid farewell to the hosts and guests of CCTV, he was repeatedly comforted-some were beaten later, and some were beaten later.

"I'm not talking about scenes...I think this round may really play seven games. If there is a tiebreaker, I will go to the scene to supervise the battle."

"As for today, maybe the stadium is frustrated, but the shopping mall is proud."

Fang Zhuo left the studio with a smile, and rushed to meet the Samsung prince Lee Jae-yong.

Unlike Lee Kitae who chose an inconspicuous but distinctive restaurant, Lee Jae-yong chose the most luxurious place in the capital.

Fang Zhuo had been thinking about this man's mentality and plans along the way, but when he arrived at the place, he suddenly found that he still hadn't considered enough.

"President Fang, we meet again."

I thought there was a third person in the dinner between the two of them, and Fang Zhuo knew him—Li Fuzhen, the eldest princess of Samsung.

After being slightly surprised, Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "I thought Miss Fuzhen was in Shencheng, and I plan to return to Shencheng to treat you to dinner."

"I came here as an interpreter for my brother." Li Fuzhen smiled, "It's also to thank Mr. Fang for helping us to obtain preferential policies for Shilla Hotel."

She paused, and said angrily, "But, Mr. Fang, you didn't tell me that that piece of land is a developer under your banner..."

Fang Zhuo explained: "Because I am a developer under Yike, I can have the right to speak to help you fight for the best preferential policies."

Li Fuzhen was taken aback, and it made sense.

The two greeted each other slightly, and Fang Zhuo and Li Zayong greeted each other in English. They could actually communicate without barriers, and it was not a formal business negotiation, so there was no need for an interpreter at all.

Fang Zhuo thought about the intentions of the siblings, but Li Zaiyong neither confronted nor hid the needle, but talked about today's Rockets game.

"I am a fan of the Rockets. Yao Ming is not only the Great Wall of China, but also the pride of Asia." Li Zairong said this with a natural expression, "When the Rockets won the championship, Wanwangfang always asked for Zhang Yaoming's autograph for me."

Fang Zhuo listened, and suddenly asked Li Fuzhen in Chinese: "Does your brother really like basketball and Yao Ming?"

Li Fuzhen was taken aback, this is in front of his brother...

She nodded with a smile, without disrupting the situation: "Of course, Mr. Fang, he likes it."

Fang Zhuo switched back to English and said to Li Zairong: "Mr. Li, Ms. Fu Zhen told me the truth. Let's not talk about basketball today. We have something to talk about. After all, your time is precious, and my schedule is also very tight. "

Li Fuzhen: "..."

Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, you don't avoid people when you say this!
Li Zairong glanced at his sister, as self-willed as always, but harmless.

He said with a smile: "Today, I believe that no matter Mr. Fang or Mr. Wang of BOE, they can see the sincerity of Samsung and our determination to develop LCD. To a large extent, it is precisely because of this determination that we That's why we're negotiating now."

Fang Zhuo nodded: "Well, let's continue talking. I heard that Chimei Electronics seems to have some differences of opinion with the three of you."

Chi Mei Electronics is a company of Formosa. Compared with Samsung, LG, and Sharp's currently recognized technology and capital investment cooperation methods, it is not willing to do this.

As for what it wants.

From the point of view of contact, it is just to come and see, and it is basically to promote the personal field.

Lee Jae-yong said: "Chi Mei is now eager to build a new production line, and the funds will be concentrated in this area. The three of us..."

Fang Zhuo interrupted: "Chi Mei wants to build in the mainland, it's not easy."

"President Fang, what do you mean?" Li Zayong stared at the young president in front of him, feeling that the other party had placed an extra bargaining chip.

"BOE's 5th-generation line in Beijing has just been mass-produced. No matter whether it is LCD or plasma, this is another production line." Fang Zhuo calculated with a smile, "As far as I know, all four of you seem to have come to the mainland to invest in construction. plan."

"I understand you, the construction cost is low, the cost of employment is low, the tax policy is good, and it can not only control the initiative, but also get local investment, which reduces a lot of financial burden."

"But for the domestic market, we need to consider the issue of capacity space."

Fang Zhuo said lightly: "It's impossible for you all to apply and then pass. This is not aimed at anyone, it is the reality, so you have to consider it."

Lee Jae-yong thinks this is targeting!

However, LCD panels do need economies of scale to reduce costs, which is the only way to go, but adding BOE will give up some initiative.

However, if it is not allowed, BOE will go to the opposite camp.

If one company has to be suspended due to approval factors, as long as it is not Samsung...

Thinking about this, Li Zayong suddenly found that Fang was always putting multiple choice questions in front of him.

He pondered without speaking, thinking about the gains and losses here.

Li Fuzhen was half-active and half-passive today. Seeing that his brother needed time to think, he took a sip of the juice and said with a smile: "The Rockets are only one point away from beating the Spurs today. It's a pity, Mr. Fang thinks you can really make it out of the West this year?" ?”

Fang Zhuo glanced at the three-star eldest princess.

Li Fuzhen blinked: "My brother doesn't like basketball, but I didn't say I don't like it."

"Then which team do you like?" Fang Zhuo raised a little interest.

"The Bulls." Li Fuzhen replied seriously.

Fang Zhuo was a little surprised, and answered her previous question: "I'm not sure if I can rush out, but this round will definitely be exciting. The Spurs are the goal that the coaching staff has simulated for a long time. In order to deal with it, we traded for power forward Kurt. Thomas, got Yao Ming's backup, Nazr Mohammed."

"Kurt and Nazr's defense is tough enough, just for Duncan."

"Unfortunately, this time the Spurs actually stepped up to play against us. This preparation was a little bit of a failure."

"I feel like Coach Nelson was caught off guard too."

Fang Zhuo slightly shook his head regretfully.

"This year's Spurs are really good." Li Fuzhen said, "Although Carter played very well in this game, I feel that the Spurs are very targeted in defending him. I am afraid that the next game will not be so comfortable."

Fang Zhuo focused: "How to say?"

"The Spurs are not like the Pistons, which are also known for their defense in the East. The pressure of the Pistons is very fierce." Li Fuzhen organized his words slightly, "The Spurs are not only in today's game, but this season, they are expanding their defense, blocking the breakthrough in the middle, and letting the opponent go. Go to the wing, like Carter, if he gets to the bottom corner, he is allowed to break through, and then there is an inside defense on the weak side."

"Today, Carter was either forced to make an emergency stop to make a mid-range shot, or made a mistake in transferring the ball in a wide range."

"If we don't solve this problem, I'm afraid..."

Li Fuzhen blinked and didn't say any more.

Fang Zhuo was a bit taken aback. Although he claimed to be the boss who knew the most about football, he didn't seem to notice it when he was a guest on CCTV's live broadcast today, but now that she said it, he felt that it was true.

Today was Carter's main attack, scoring 39 points, and finally lost.

Will it fall into the Spurs trap?

Fang Zhuo thought about it.

On the other side, Lee Jae-yong was also thinking about it, didn't Fang always set up a trap to stir up internal fighting in the LCD Alliance?
He repeatedly weighed and came to a conclusion that the current enemy is plasma, and the way to prevent internal fighting is to quickly eliminate the one that is most harmful to one's own side.

Can Chi Mei Electronics pose a threat?
No, Chi Mei Electronics is the weakest.

What about LG?
It is also a Korean company and has a certain tacit understanding in the field of LCD.

Sharp!

Japanese companies!powerful!
Once the plasma is defeated, Sharp is the most competitive opponent in the camp.

"My little interest in basketball is that I was influenced by Fu Zhen." Li Zairong said with a smile, then got up and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, I'm going to the bathroom."

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly.

After the three-star prince left, he asked curiously: "Miss Fuzhen, I can understand your brother's emphasis on this cooperation, but he won't call you here on a special trip, will he? Could it be that Shencheng's policy is not satisfactory , have you come to the capital to pick a place?"

Li Fuzhen shook his head: "Our Shilla Hotel is very satisfied with Shencheng, and considering the different positioning of the city, we also think that it is more suitable there."

She showed a smile: "Besides, since it is under Mr. Fang, of course it can be taken care of there. As for today... a good atmosphere is better for communication than a blunt one, isn't it? BOE and LCD will benefit from cooperation. This is the optimal solution.”

Fang Zhuo heard her speak liquid crystal for the first time, and asked: "Excuse me, Miss Fuzhen, have the arrangements in your Samsung group been fixed? Your brother's Samsung Electronics and your Shilla Hotel?"

He added: "Oh, I'm just curious, if it's not convenient for me to answer, I don't need to answer."

Li Fuzhen's expression changed slightly. This is really presumptuous, but it seems that he is not so presumptuous when asked from Mr. Fang's mouth.

She thought about how to respond appropriately.

Fang Zhuo said with a smile: "It's purely a little personal curiosity. This time it involves project negotiation. I didn't know until I met your brother that he is indeed as good as Miss Fuzhen. If I were President Li, I might be really in a dilemma."

Li Fuzhen said helplessly: "Boss Fang really knows how to praise people."

She avoided talking about this topic, and boasted back: "Although I just arrived in the capital, I also heard from my elder brother that Mr. Fang's operation involving BOE this time left a deep impression on everyone."

Fang Zhuo waved his hand and said, "I actually didn't play much role. You forced BOE to switch to Plasma too much. It's not a good thing to be too absolute in business. My philosophy has always been to make money together."

Li Fuzhen said sincerely: "I hope that our Shilla Hotel will fit Mr. Fang's philosophy."

Soft doors opening and closing.

Lee Jae-yong is back.

He changed the topic again, and then asked a question: "I don't know what are the requirements of Huaxia's application for the construction of production lines? Chimei Electronics is in great need of this construction now, and Samsung and Sharp may not be so urgent about production capacity. "

Fang Zhuo replied lightly: "I'm not a supervisor either, but I just know that there might be such a situation."

He smiled and asked: "Since they are on the same front, Samsung can not rush to apply and let the production capacity space out. Chimei Electronics had a good negotiation with Lin'an before, and it may be passed soon after the application."

Li Jae-yong also laughed: "Samsung is more willing to cooperate with BOE in the form of technology transfer. It is much more convenient to have a domestic production line. Chi Mei Electronics also has excellent technology. It is said that LG's 7th generation line is expected to be placed in China in the future." .”

He never mentioned Sharp, and looked at the President of Huaxia in front of him with piercing eyes.

Fang Zhuo liked the eyes of the three-star prince.

What kind of eyes are these?
Have pursuing eyes.

Unlike that Lee Kitae, his eyes are almost gray.

Fang Zhuo said relaxedly: "The final result still depends on various factors. Anyway, the leaders' evidences are very reasonable. I believe they will fully consider the status of Samsung, LG, Chi Mei... and other companies."

"Investment in construction must be a win-win situation. Enterprises benefit from it and the local area develops. Otherwise, why bother?"

"I really like what Mr. Li said last time. Considering the situation of consumers, I want to give them low-priced and high-quality products."

"I don't know why, although I don't meet Mr. Li much, but I always have the feeling of getting along with Google Larry and the others when I was in the United States."

He didn't mention Sharpe either.

Li Zairong can probably be sure that Mr. Fang knows what he wants, and the two have completed a potential communication.

Next, Li Zairong talked about the development of LCD technology and got more support. The atmosphere of the dinner also became more and more relaxed under the background of Li Fuzhen's occasional chat about the situation of the NBA Western Conference Finals.

At 09:30 in the evening, the dinner is over.

The siblings sent Mr. Fang into the car together, and watched him get into the Rolls Royce before getting into his own car.

Unlike the perfect dinner, the brother and sister did not communicate much in the car. Li Zairong soon concentrated on listening to the content recorded by his recorder.

Li Fuzhen watched coldly: "You still know this now?"

"It's President Li's teaching, and I think it may be able to play a certain role." Li Zayong said calmly, "The experience of the predecessors must have been successful, and I will learn and try this time."

Li Fuzhen asked: "Is it useful?"

Li Zairong shook his head and said: "It's useless. Fang Zhuo hardly left anything worth using. Do you think this is a coincidence or is he used to this? Or, as President Li said, he is very wary of us?"

Li Fuzhen said lightly: "There may be all three."

Li Zairong put away the recording pen, feeling a little regretful.

"I heard that President Li went to see his father." Li Fuzhen said again.

"Cooperation is imperative, and he can't shake it." Li Zairong said this, but he was thinking about how to promote Chi Mei's attitude.

Negotiations are progressing even faster.

……

A dinner party that seemed to have reached an exchange without substantive communication ended, and the negotiations between the LCD Alliance and BOE picked up speed.

In just three days, Chi Mei Electronics, which had been reluctant to participate in the investment in BOE's G6 production line, let go and agreed to hold a 10% stake in BOE's production line together with Samsung, LG, and Sharp.

The price of this shareholding is lower than normal, and the share is symbolic. It means that everyone should work together to expand the scale of LCD through the Chinese market.

BOE's LCD negotiations are progressing well, and Panasonic also found that things seem to be getting worse.

In particular, Makoto Miyamoto, vice president of Panasonic, watched the Samsung team enter and leave the same hotel, and chatted happily with Mr. Fang and Mr. Wang.

This……

Makoto Miyamoto reminded the head of the situation while questioning Mr. Fang with doubts.

"Mr. Fang, did you forget that you said that one small step for Panasonic is one giant leap for plasma? We Panasonic are here with sincerity!"

Fang Zhuo thought that this person should talk to Mr. Wang. After all, he is the head of BOE. He has stopped participating in the business negotiations between the two sides in the past two days, and his work is almost over.

But he is also willing to give an explanation: "Yes, that's right, that's a big step for plasma, but the liquid crystal is running here."

"You Panasonic are not willing to disclose patents, which makes it very difficult for us."

"Mr. Miyamoto, you must hurry up, otherwise, BOE and Panasonic may really miss each other."

"That will definitely be a century of regret."
