Coming out of the Marching Ant Company, Gao Zhendong had a thunderous face. He had never experienced such cowardice.
In the past, when discussing cooperation with others, they would always flatter him or greet him with a smile. This time when he approached Zhao Min, he thought he had lowered his attitude enough, but he was still slapped in the face.
Judging from the agreement, he knew that Army Ant Company did not want to cooperate with them.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhendong began to worry.
Mobile phone intelligence is a trend that no one can stop. If they don’t catch this train, even if they are not completely eliminated, it is not impossible to be squeezed into the second tier.
Money is easy to make in the mobile Internet industry, but the competition is also unimaginably fierce.
Companies such as Nokia, Sony, Yahoo, and Motorola were once leaders in the industry. Their ultimate fate was to be acquired or eliminated because they failed to keep up with the changes of the times.
No enterprise lasts forever, especially in the mobile Internet industry. Technology updates too quickly. Once it falls behind, it will be completely ruined.
Although mobile phones are not useless without smart assistants, without an artificial intelligence, they will be technologically one generation behind.
Nowadays, multilingual smart assistants can use Korean. The rice company is already popular in their country. They will definitely not miss this opportunity this time. I am afraid that by then, the business of their base camp may be robbed, and other foreign companies Not to mention business.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhendong became more and more worried. The smart assistant must get it.
But it was impossible for them to agree to Army Ant's conditions because the licensing fee was too high. Nearly 20%, this licensing fee cannot be afforded by any company.
The profit of each of their mobile phones is not 20%.
It's not impossible to raise prices, but a 20% price increase is too expensive. Consumers won't buy it, which will have an impact on their business, and the money they make is not theirs.
The price must be lower, but it must be discussed with the senior management, because he does not know what the bottom line is that the board of directors and other executives will accept, and he does not dare to make a rash decision.
Jin Zhizhang, who was next to him, didn't look too good either. He swore to Gao Zhendong that the Chinese people were easy to deal with, but now that they were in this situation, he had no face.
"President, can't we sue Army Ant Company for monopolizing the market?" Jin Zhizhang could sense that Gao Zhendong was in a bad mood and spoke cautiously.
"Sue? I'm suing your whole family. This is China. How can you tell me to sue?"
Gao Zhendong was angered by Jin Zhizhang.
Samsung often monopolizes and uses its monopoly position to suppress its opponents. Huawei and Apple have both been targets of their suppression.
As a core executive of Samsung, he naturally knows the monopoly best.
The antitrust laws of various countries are mainly used to target foreign companies and are a means to safeguard national interests. If another country's corporate monopoly harms its own interests, that country will use anti-monopoly laws to suppress it. But when one's own country's corporate monopoly harms the interests of other countries, the country turns a blind eye and may even help when appropriate.
China will only punish them for their monopoly, and it is impossible to punish the Army Ant Company for its monopoly.
"Didn't you say that the Chinese people are easy to deal with? Just lower your attitude."
Gao Zhendong scolded Jin Zhizhang and lowered his profile to come here. In the end, he didn't get any benefit at all and was made angry.
Jin Zhizhang didn't dare to reply, he lowered his head and endured it, regretting why he got into trouble at this time.
After scolding for a long time, Gao Zhendong vented the tightness in his chest and then calmed down with a stern face. If Army Ant Company refuses to cooperate next time, I'm afraid it will have to rely on its own technical department to develop it.
"Are you wondering why I did this?" Zhao Min said looking at Xiao Yu's confused face in the company office.
"Yeah." Xiaoyu nodded sharply.
What happened today gave her a lot of doubts, and they were still lingering in her mind. Zhao Min's acting skills today and her sudden change of expression gave her an intuitive feeling that she had never seen before.
"If you don't want to cooperate with them, why do you want to see them?" Xiaoyu asked, expressing his confusion.
Zhao Min shook his head slightly and said: "You are wrong. Gao Zhendong is the president of Samsung Group's mobile business and belongs to Samsung's core senior staff. If he comes in person, if we don't see him, it will make outsiders feel that we are very arrogant. This kind of image is not good. , Let’s not talk about whether we want to cooperate or not. Even if we don’t want to, we still have to do a good job in superficiality, otherwise we will easily be used as an attack point.”
Xiaoyu nodded and listened quietly.
"Remember when they came here they talked about the phone screen last time?"
"Um."
"Do you think they will interrupt the supply of mobile phone screens to us because of problems in the factory?"
"Probably not." Xiaoyu shook his head.
"Why?"
"At that time when our mobile phones were at their most popular, they announced the news of the mobile phone launch conference after they interrupted our screen supply. It felt like it was premeditated." Xiaoyu thought for a while and said.
"At that time, when the fire was at its peak, they poured cold water on us. They knew that we were unhappy because of that incident, so when they came over, they explained what happened and made us feel that it was a misunderstanding. It's over.
But how much damage did that cause us? How could it be so easy? I didn’t mention it before because I had no choice. Now let me seize the opportunity to take revenge. Naturally, I have to get back the last loss from them with profits. "
Samsung's intention is obvious, it wants the authorization of the smart assistant, so Gao Zhendong will lower his profile.
For a long time, domestic people have given foreigners the impression that they are easy to talk to. As long as it is a misunderstanding and some losses are caused, and the other party lowers his profile and apologizes, and makes some compensation, it won't cause too much trouble and it will pass slowly.
Samsung also wanted to use this trick to deal with her, but it was impossible.
"Do you want to cooperate with them?" Xiaoyu asked.
"Now is the era of globalization. They have a lot of patented technologies in their hands, so cooperation is inevitable. When our country is at loggerheads with the United States and island countries, many cooperations are still normal.
Ordinary people below can be affected by personal emotions and boycott if they don't like it. But the people above are in different positions and have great interests. One sentence may affect the relationship between the two families, or even lead to a war. In many cases, they cannot be affected by personal emotions. The money that should be earned must still be earned.
Your butt determines your thinking, whether your words are rough or your reasoning is rough. The higher the position of your butt is, the more you need to consider the overall situation in your thinking and decision-making. "
Zhao Min followed the instructions.
After being together for such a long time, she had already regarded Xiaoyu as her sister and best friend. And she is Chen Mo's woman, so she must know some things.
"Then why set the licensing fee so high? Won't it scare them away?" Xiaoyu continued to ask.
"The difference between school and society is: one is about learning and the other is about application. Look for the top, get the bottom, look for the top, get the bottom, have you learned it?"
"I understand." Xiaoyu thought for a while and nodded: "What if they don't come?"
"The fact that they don't come here only shows that Gao Zhendong is not a qualified candidate. If he is rejected once, he will not dare to come here. That position will probably need to be replaced. When he goes back now, he should discuss a bottom-line price with Samsung's senior management. He has something in his heart. He will come back to bargain with us at the end of the year, and it won’t be long before he comes again.”
Zhao Min looked at Xiaoyu and couldn't help but ask: "There are a lot of questions today. He is so eager to learn. Are you feeling stressed by being with him?"
"No." Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head.
"There are many women who want to chase the boss, such as Xu Yanxin, a proud woman. Don't you feel any pressure?"
"No." Xiaoyu shook his head: "Why should you be stressed?"
"Why is there no pressure?" Zhao Min asked back with a smile.
"Because I believe in him and understand him. There is no need for two strong men in the family. I can just be a worthless little woman and do what I like to do."
Every time Chen Mo is mentioned, Xiaoyu's face will always appear happy and gentle, and this look cannot be concealed at all. This look made Zhao Min a little envious. If she had a man as good as Chen Mo, she wouldn't have the confidence and unconditional trust of Xiao Yu.
