Special troubles of rebirth

When he saw Jun Ji-hyun, Lee Jae-yong's brows wrinkled involuntarily.

Fortunately, Song Hye Kyo left "knowingly", but Jun Ji Hyun wanted to follow, but Wang Yu grabbed her waist.

When she came to her senses with her mind in a blur, she was already sitting on the sofa, and the strange man next to her was talking to Lee Jae-yong.

Quan Ji-hyun wanted to struggle, but the environment at the scene did not allow it. There was only one big boss who could sit down and discuss things on an equal footing with Lee Jae-yong, and she was already intimidated by his momentum.

"I heard Mr. Cai said that you want to come here to acquire two companies?"

It is true that Cai Jingan invited Li Zaiyong to discuss this matter, but Wang Yu believed that it was definitely not just this matter.

The next words confirmed Wang Yu’s conjecture.

"We at Samsung have already started developing a newer generation of smartphones, but I didn't expect Mr. Wang's Guoke Electronics to be ahead of the curve."

Lee Jae-yong smiled and looked at Wang Yu, who had lit a cigar and was smoking while hugging a Bangzi country star: "He even walked ahead of Apple in the United States."

"It doesn't count. In fact, both Nokia and Samsung, including the 3rd generation Apple mobile phones that have been released, are already smart phones."

As he spoke, while Ruan Peiling was translating, he placed his mobile phone on the coffee table: "Actually, the core functions inside are not that big of a breakthrough. Guoke Electronics mainly made a small breakthrough in industrial appearance design and software application concepts. !”

"So there are many patents registered in Bangzi country that we can't get around?"

Lee Jae-yong smiled: "Unless we Samsung start a new business."

"But that would be a missed opportunity!"

Wang Yu responded with a smile: "I had a meeting with Mr. Qiao in the United States in the first half of the year. He told me that the new generation of Apple 4 will be released in August or September."

"It is a secret to ordinary people, but to industry leaders like us, this is information that has long been known."

Lee Jae-yong glanced at Jun Ji-hyun, who was "uneasy", and added: "Be quiet!"

Quan Zhixian's original struggle suddenly stopped. Faced with the "scolding" of the Samsung Crown Prince, she did not dare to move anymore.

But I felt so aggrieved that a foreigner had taken advantage of me inexplicably. What evil had happened to me today?

"I believe Apple can't get around some of your patents, right?"

Lee Jae-yong scolded Chun Ji-hyun and continued the topic with Wang Yu again: "Especially in markets outside the United States!"

"I have reached certain cooperation agreements with Mr. Qiao, and the other is that Apple can use some of my patents in the global market. Of course, they have also made some concessions to Guoke Electronics."

Wang Yu now vaguely understood why Cai Jingan invited Li Zaiyong here tonight, so he disclosed some simple information without hesitation.

Lee Jae-yong raised his eyebrows. As he guessed, Apple must have "fixed" Guoke Electronics, otherwise it would be impossible to rashly launch new products when Wang Yu has so many patents.

In this case, Apple can do it, but Samsung can’t?

"So I think Mr. Wang and Samsung can also reach some agreements and form some cooperation!"

"Hahaha"

Wang Yu smiled heartily and said: "Of course, since it is business, we can talk about it."

"When Mr. Wang comes to Seoul this time, apart from acquiring two companies to take over the end of Mr. Cai's industrial chain, what else needs to be done?"

"Not really. I was invited here by Mr. Cai. He hopes that I can get the chip packaging and testing plant completed as soon as possible so as not to delay his important event."

Wang Yu said, looked at Cai Jing'an and asked again: "Mr. Cai, you have to be fair to me. Before I came to Seoul, I was still doing investment inspections in Yangshi."

Cai Jingan smiled and said in fluent Korean: "Mr. Wang has invested in two mobile phone production lines in his hometown, and the packaging and testing factory also plans to set up there."

The role of the old fox is reflected at this time. At this moment, he is like the lubricant between Wang Yu and Li Zaiyong. Some words are more suitable to come from his mouth.

"I had a chat with President Li before you came over, and we reached some initial consensus."

Cai Jing'an said to Wang Yu: "Chairman Li hopes that Guoke Electronics can license patents so that Samsung's new generation of smartphones can be launched as quickly as possible. Of course, Chairman Li will also help with the acquisition. This It can be considered a win-win situation.”

Seeing that Wang Yu was lost in thought, Lee Jae-yong added lightly: "Samsung's affiliated business survey has carefully researched the market. The first generation of Guokhu mobile phones does not occupy the high-end mobile phone market. Our future competitors for Samsung will be Nokia, For products like Motorola and Apple, differentiation determines that product competition between us is not fierce."

Wang Yu nodded in recognition. At least at this stage, both Apple and Samsung have their eyes on Nokia and Motorola.

No one would have thought that the wave originally set off by Apple would cause giants like Nokia to collapse within a year or two, and sadly exit the market like Motorola.

In the previous life, Apple and Samsung occupied most of the mid-to-high-end market. A certain company got some dividends in the initial stage, but that was also the mid-to-low-end market share. As for what happened later, it is difficult to say.

"There is no problem with patent licensing. It is just a symbolic fee and has nothing to do with the overall situation."

Wang Yu agreed to this request in order for the acquisition to go smoothly and for Samsung to work with Apple to overthrow the Nokia dynasty.

After this matter was resolved, both Lee Jae-yong and Cai Jingan had smiles on their faces.

"I heard that Mr. Wang is still investing in mobile phone production lines in China, which has always been an important market for Samsung, so I tend to place the production of Samsung's new generation smartphones in China."

Lee Jae-yong was in a good mood and said happily: "Although some mobile phones were processed by Foxconn Technology Group in the past, considering that they have not yet matured a new generation of smart phone production lines, I plan to hand over the processing rights to you. "

He thought he was giving business to Wang Yu, although Wang Yu really needed it, because it was Wang Yu's wish to take away Foxconn's business and prevent this monster from becoming bigger and stronger.

But this is a negotiation, and you have to be careful.

"Didn't I just say that Mr. Qiao and I had an agreement!"

Holding a cigar in one hand and rubbing Quan Zhixian's waist with the other, Wang Yu smiled and said, "I promised to leave ten production lines for him!"

Li Zaiyong, who was still a little unconcerned at first, suddenly became less relaxed after listening to Ruan Peiling's translation.

"Ten items?"

"Ten items!"

"According to the information I researched below, China currently has a total of twenty-two production lines. Are you going to give him ten at once?"

"I still have four lines under construction in Chengdu, and my partners also have four lines under construction. Plus the two I'm about to invest in Yang City, we can have at least ten more production lines by the beginning of next year!"

Wang Yu shrugged his shoulders and said: "This does not include other companies in China that are interested in joining the competition in the new generation of smartphone market, as well as Foxconn. They will definitely transform and invest in several production lines. These are estimated to be around ten. about!"

"But once Apple's new models are released and global sales increase, ten production lines are far from meeting the production capacity they need. They will take up at least ten more new production lines!"

There is nothing wrong with what Lee Jae-yong said. In his previous life, it was because of Apple, Samsung, Meizu, etc. that knocked Nokia off the altar. Smartphones defined by a new generation began to completely replace previous mobile phones. In addition, with the rise of domestic smart phones such as Huawei, Xiaomi, and Oppo, The entire market began to grow, which directly contributed to Foxconn's explosive development.

A mobile phone processing base can have 200,000 to 300,000 employees. What is this concept?

The key is that there is more than one such processing base in China!

Wang Yu remembers a data. In 2015 in his previous life, China’s smartphone shipments reached 4.38 million units!

In 2019, mainland mobile phone shipments were 3.89 million, but in this year, the number of mobile phones produced in China exceeded 17 billion!

Many people can’t imagine that the material cost of an iPhone 7 with a sales price of over 1200 yuan is about 70 yuan, while Foxconn’s processing cost is only about 78- yuan.

One is technological profiteering, the other is extreme exploitation!

Therefore, Wang Yu plans not to give Foxconn a chance and to re-establish rules.

"So President Li wants me to increase investment in the production line?"

"We at Samsung have a certain degree of confidence in our judgment on the future smartphone market. These existing production lines are far from enough!"

Wang Yu nodded in agreement with Li Zaiyong's judgment, and then said: "China has the largest number of industrial workers with the highest quality in the world. Chairman Li can rest assured about this!"

"So, can Mr. Wang add six to eight more production lines to the two?"

Lee Jae-yong waved his hand: "We will cooperate for a win-win situation!"

Wang Yu looked at Cai Jingan, then at Li Zaiyong, and then smiled.

This time, Lee Jae-yong is no longer giving alms from above. What Wang Yu just said made him understand one thing. Even if Samsung quickly develops a new generation of smartphones, it will be in vain if its production capacity cannot keep up!

"The entertainment industry in Bangzi Country has been very developed in the past few years. I am also paying close attention to a girl group called Girls' Generation in China, especially Yoona, who I like very much."

Li Zaiyong didn't expect that Wang Yu's topic would suddenly turn to a celebrity. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cai Jingan and asked: What's going on?

The look in Cai Jingan's eyes made Li Zaiyong understand what was going on instantly.

"If she is in Seoul, I will arrange for her to come over tonight!"

Li Zaiyong said this to Wang Yu, and then looked at his assistant aside: "Go and make arrangements!"

With a "bright" smile on his face, Wang Yu stood up and extended his hand to Lee Jae-yong: "President Li, eight production lines, happy cooperation!"

Lee Jae-yong also stood up and shook hands with Wang Yu: "Happy cooperation!"

Quan Zhixian on the side was trembling. Could it be that he couldn't run away tonight?

I’m finally done, let’s make up today’s chapter!

There will be another chapter later.

It’s the end of the month, I beg you all for your monthly tickets!
