Chapter 212 Talking about cooperation with Samsung

In fact, when Du Qi came this time, he also met Lee Jianxi's father Lee Byung-chul, but the other party was older. He had only met Du Qi before and had chatted for more than half an hour.

South Korea has a paternalistic corporate style, and Duqi actually uses this method, so departments like the Assistant Decision Office have a great effect on strengthening control over their subsidiaries.

This is actually the difference in the management methods caused by the differences in European and American cultures. After Duqi was reborn, he has been affected in the United States for so many years, but he is still dominated by Chinese culture at the root, so he adopted this method.

Of course, managing a company in this way may cause great problems when it handed over the company's inheritance. Li Jianxi is relatively lucky. He doesn't have many brothers and sisters. His father helped him take charge of the power all the way. Although it occasionally caused trouble, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

In contrast, the South Korean Hyundai Group, which is still above Samsung, encountered big problems when it inherited. Two thousand years later, people said that there were three things that Koreans could not be avoided when they were born, death, tax payment and Samsung, which indirectly illustrates the influence of Samsung Group on South Korea.

But in fact, even ten years later in the previous life, Samsung was still overwhelmed by Hyundai.

Hyundai Construction is the largest company in South Korea's construction industry. Hyundai Motor, South Korea's largest automobile company, Hyundai Heavy Industry is the world's largest shipyard; Hyundai Electronics is the world's second largest chip manufacturer, and is still above Samsung Electronics.

In the history of South Korea's modern economic development, Hyundai Group has created too many firsts: the first shipyard, the first automobile factory, the first highway... It was said that the world knew South Korea not from knowing Samsung, but from Hyundai.

However, since the mid-1990s, although the Zheng family, which controls the Hyundai Group, has been richest in South Korea, has been deeply trapped in the quagmire of family civil strife. When Zheng Zhouyong was alive, Zheng Mengxian and his brothers had turned against each other.

After Zheng Zhouyong, the founder of Hyundai Group, died in March this year, the "criminal dispute" between the Zheng family was even more uncontrollable. His sons Zheng Mengjiu, Zheng Mengzhun, Zheng Mengxian and others launched a series of palace fighting dramas. After Zheng Mengxian committed suicide in 2003, his wife Xuan Zhenen even fought against the uncles and uncles of the Zheng family, and staged a real-life terrifying heart.

This series of infighting caused the rapid decline of Hyundai Group, and Samsung will have the opportunity to come from behind.

Of course, when Duqi didn't need to consider these things, he thought of Samsung's next situation and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind.

Just when this idea came to Du Qi's mind, Li Jianxi took the initiative to speak: "I heard that Mr. Du is preparing to buy a theater chain in South Korea recently? It seems that Mr. Du is very optimistic about the film industry."

Duqi does have the idea of ​​allowing Shengshi Cinema to expand in South Korea. Recently, employees of Shengshi Cinema have been collecting information to confirm the feasibility.

Li Jianxi's information is so well-informed that Du Qi did not surprise Du Qi too much. South Korea is not big, and the relationship between the consortium and the government is mixed, and there are some slight disturbances. With Li Jianxi's influence in South Korea, it is not difficult to know.

After thinking for a while, Du Qi said: "In addition to the high-tech industry, I am also very interested in the film and television media industry. Mr. Li must have heard that I have invested in a TV station in Hong Kong. At the same time, Shengshi Cinema is now actively seeking expansion in Asia and Southeast Asia, and has also invested in an entertainment company that owns a controlling stake in the TV station in Japan."

Li Jianxi nodded. He naturally heard of these news. With Duqi's success, there are many people who have studied his investment direction. Li Jianxi has also done his homework. He even knew that Duqi didn't say that he had shares in Disney Company and invested in the movie "Terminator". At present, he has made money.

It is no secret that Duqi's investment in Hollywood is just that the public knows less than it actually is. Even so, everyone can see Duqi's investment in the entertainment and media industry.

While considering why the other party suddenly mentioned this, Li Jianxi said directly: "In fact, I have also considered setting up a TV station in South Korea. However, it is not easy for a private TV station to obtain a license. I wonder if Mr. Du has the idea of ​​cooperation?"

Du Qi couldn't help but be stunned by the other party's words. Did he think that Samsung had invested in a Korean TV station? At least Du Qi didn't know this. Why did Li Jianxi suddenly want to invest in a Korean TV station?

Without waiting for Du Qi to answer, Li Jianxi continued: "In addition, Mr. Du has established a theater chain in South Korea. If there is any trouble, our Samsung Group can also help solve it."

South Korea has not relaxed this aspect at all. It is not very meaningful to say that these things are now. However, no matter what, the other party's willingness to take the initiative to cooperate will be of great benefit to Duqi's opening up the market in South Korea.

Perhaps Samsung in the previous life did not invest in the entertainment and media industry on a large scale, and maybe there were, but Duqi didn't know it. However, in this life, Li Jianxi took the initiative to cooperate with Duqi in this regard, and Duqi could not refuse.

With a smile, Du Qi said: "I have limited knowledge about how your country's TV stations should apply. However, if I can cooperate with President Li, I don't think there is any need to refuse. As for the development of Shengshi Cinema in South Korea, I will ask President Li to take care of it."

After a slight pause, Duqi continued: "If Samsung Group needs investment in the United States in the future, you can contact me. Even if it is an industry that I am not familiar with, I will know many friends in the United States, so I can help President Li introduce it."

After thinking about it, Du Qi felt that the reason why Li Jianxi took the initiative to help was probably because he wanted to develop in the United States and needed a guide.

Samsung's development in South Korea has reached a bottleneck in recent years. South Korea is not large at all, and the overall market size is limited. If you want to go further, you have to compete with consortiums such as Hyundai and Lotte. This is not easy, so it is inevitable to turn your attention and develop globally.

I think it is not only Samsung that has this interest in investing in the United States. In the future, Samsung Group's electronic products will occupy a lot of market share in the United States and even internationally, far exceeding other consortiums in South Korea. Behind these achievements is actually the unremitting efforts of more than ten years ago.

Seeing that Du Qi guessed his thoughts so quickly, Li Jianxi was delighted and looked at Du Qi even more high. He had such a sharp reaction, no wonder he could do his business so big so quickly. It was indeed extraordinary.

He smiled and said, "Then I will thank Mr. Du here for the first time. I am also looking forward to working with Mr. Du in the future..."
