Head to head Hollywood 822 author Qian Duxue Full text 3363 words
In order to cope with the Asian financial crisis, Samsung Electronics raised 3 billion US dollars through the stock market in those years, which is a full five times the number of shares issued by Samsung Electronics in the past few decades! Then, it took on another $3 billion in debt, and with Apple's help, it got through. At present, 90% of Samsung Electronics' shares are controlled by outsiders, of which Americans hold 60%. The Li family only holds 2% of the shares, but through a series of complex means of cross-shareholding, it firmly controls the company. The reason why Scott Swift was able to absorb a large number of Samsung Electronics stocks in the past few years was mainly because of the aftermath of the financial crisis, which was the acquisition of additional shares and debt-to-equity swaps in those years. In the past two years, Samsung Electronics has developed better and better, and has made great breakthroughs and progress in the fields of semiconductors, chips, computer monitors, ray tubes, deflection coils, etc. In the field of hardware, it has achieved great success. However, screen technology is still a big hurdle. Since 1991, Samsung Electronics began to develop display panels, but it was blocked by technology from Taiwan and Japan, and progress was slow. It wasn't until 1999 that Apple needed LCD monitors to sign an order with Samsung Electronics. With the help of Apple, Samsung Electronics has the technology of liquid crystal display, and then developed the LCD screen. At present, Samsung Electronics' screen technology may not meet the requirements of the iPhone. But it doesn't matter, it will take several years of research and development for the iPhone to launch. Samsung Electronics can also use this time to develop technology. At this time, it is only necessary to show the strong R&D capabilities of Samsung Electronics and give Apple confidence. Dunn Walker, Tim Cook, Scott Swift, as well as Samsung Electronics' representative president Lee Ji-tae and executive assistant Lee Jae-yong, gathered in Seoul. Then, Samsung Electronics warmly invited everyone to visit Yongin City, a 45-minute drive from Seoul. Yongin is a tourist city with the largest theme park in Korea, Everland. More importantly, this is Samsung's R&D center and there is a Samsung Creative Academy. This creative college left a deep impression on Dunn. The traditional Korean house design is used here, and the surrounding environment is pleasant, no different from a park. In a pavilion, there is a world map pieced together with tiles. The map divides the world into two categories: markets that Samsung has already entered, indicated in blue; and those that Samsung is about to enter, marked in red. The huge ambition is undoubtedly revealed! "Mr. Walker, why didn't you come forward?" Tang En walked slowly behind the inspection team, looking around, appreciating the environment here. A good external environment is often the source of great ideas, and the conditions here are no worse than those in Silicon Valley. Li Zaiyong walked over with a smile, his voice was warm, and he was fluent in American English. He is the crown prince of Samsung Group. He just graduated from a doctorate degree in the United States three years ago and entered the executive management of Samsung Electronics directly. In the future, he will be the president of Samsung Electronics! Chairman of Samsung Group! Tang En glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Let them talk about cooperation. I'm just here to join in the fun and not disturb their negotiation." Li Zaiyong said with a smile, "You are so humble, who doesn't know what you said. Do you have the weight of one word in Apple?" Tang En said sternly: "You can't say that, I'm just an independent director of Apple who doesn't hold real power. The CEO of Apple is Steve Jobs. This time Apple The delegation is also led by Tim Cook." Li Zaiyong had expected Tang En's caution, but this did not dispel his idea of listening to the news. He asked casually: "By the way, Mr. Walker, Apple is here. Sending such a large team...Is there a big project?" The iPhone project is still classified. Tim Cook's trip to Asia this time is mainly to conduct some market research and open up the downstream industry chain of mobile phone manufacturing. The real order signing, at least until 2006. Tang En said calmly: "It should be a tablet computer, you should have heard of it." "An LCD screen that requires touch technology?" "Maybe yes, maybe not." "Oh?" Li Zaiyong's face flashed A touch of suspicion. Tang En said with a smile: "Although I am a layman, I still understand some basic conditions. The plasma screen that Japan is promoting is much better than the LCD screen. Not only is the radiation low, but the price is also low." Li Zaiyong's face darkened. , "Samsung and Apple have been partners for many years, and this year we will invest at least 4 billion US dollars in research and development technology." Tang En said lightly: "Everything is a matter of interest, isn't it?" Li Zaiyong accompanied him He smiled and said, "I heard that you are the behind-the-scenes boss of the Swift Venture Capital Fund? Speaking of which, your relationship with Samsung Electronics is no worse than Apple's." No way. Plasma screens are hot right now. However, Samsung Electronics has not developed the technology of plasma display panel at all, and the current main attack direction is LED screen. Tang En said with a haha, "So, I'm sandwiched between Apple and Samsung Electronics. It's better for me to read more and say less to avoid suspicion. I'm here this time to investigate the Korean film market, and to communicate with the Ministry of Culture and the film industry. The officials of the revitalization committee have already made an appointment." Li Zaiyong whispered: "Mr. Walker, to be honest, screen technology... has always been the biggest weakness of Samsung Electronics. We need Apple's support to break the technology of Japan and Taiwan. Barriers. The screen technology monopolized by Huaying, Sharp, Sony, Panasonic, AUO, Chi Mei Electronics and other companies is the root cause of the current high price of LCD screens." "Okay, in Rong." Tang En smiled and patted His shoulder, this kind of action is out of date in terms of age, but in terms of status, it is very normal, "Everything depends on Apple's opinion, Tim is no problem, of course I would also like to see Samsung Electronics and Apple's Cooperation, are you right?" Li Zaiyong smiled and grinned, "Of course! Of course!" Tang En nodded, "By the way, I still have a little work here and need your help." "Of course, if you need anything, Feel free to mention it. In South Korea...Samsung has the strength to meet all your requirements!" Lee Jae-yong spoke earnestly and confidently. Tang En was also polite and said, "I have a few friends who have come from Japan and it is not convenient to stay in a hotel." "Ah? This..." A look of embarrassment appeared on Li Zairong's face. Tang En frowned, "Can't do it?" "No no no." Li Zaiyong quickly shook his head and lowered his voice, "Mr. Walker, in fact, we also know that you are here this time mainly to care about our Korean film market. Coincidentally, we also have many female artists who admire you very much and want to meet you. We have already arranged... a meeting will be at the Shilla Hotel." Added a sentence: "The Shilla Hotel is a Samsung property, and confidentiality is guaranteed." Tang En looked indifferent, "Don't arrange for a dirty woman." Li Zaiyong's face suddenly flushed. This is the current state of the Korean entertainment industry. Female stars in mainland China must carry hangover medicine in their bags, because they are always drinking and dining; Japanese female artists must always carry condoms, and they have to deal with all kinds of perverts in their entertainment; South Korea , both are needed! A large part of South Korea's contemporary social system is imitating Japan, and the entertainment industry is also copying the Japanese model, but the squeeze on artists... intensifies! Artists, whether male or female, participating in business entertainment is a necessary job, and it is a clause to be written into the contract. Why do major Korean companies such as Samsung, Hyundai, LG, and Elephant all want to take shares in entertainment clubs? Is it because of making a lot of money? Wrong, that little money is not worth the trouble of the giants. It's because of handsome guys and pretty girls! If you have invested in the shares, you are the boss, and you can dispatch your artists at will, accompany the company to participate in various business negotiations, and then arrange some special services for customers. This has formed a unique negotiation culture in Korea - entertainers accompany drinks. In fact, all countries in Asia have artists to accompany drinks~www.wuxiaspot.com~ However, other countries are optional, South Korea is different, South Korea is a must! Receiving important guests, especially business negotiations, without a few entertainers to accompany you, is not called entertainment at all! Of course, because the supply is in short supply, many intermediary companies have been born to provide special services such as playing, drinking, singing, and sleeping. Even fake some fake stars to participate in this industry and provide special services. This is what Dunn is concerned about. To bring out a group of artificial beauties, they have either taken some photos, or played a few small roles, or looked like a big star, and then packaged them up and sent them to major negotiating tables to communicate closely with many business elites. Even the intermediary companies often arrange some commercial performances for "artists", run around everywhere, and get to know some rich people... Later, the "show business video" released by the rich Japanese is like this. Where is this artist? It's the chicken of the new age! But Tang En was obviously thinking too much about what level and what level of entertainment was arranged. At different levels of entertainment, the artists who come to accompany the wine will also be divided into superior and inferior. With Tang En's level...of course she is the most popular actress in Korea! Li Zaiyong explained in a low voice for a while before Tang En's complexion improved slightly. "My friend, it needs to be arranged." Dunn nodded, acquiescing to his arrangement. Li Zaiyong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "No problem! I have a villa in Jiangnan District, which has been vacant and can be lent to your friends." He didn't ask more, but there were many guesses. "It should be a woman, right? A woman in the Japanese entertainment industry? Well, very likely. As soon as Li Zaiyong thought about it, he told his assistants to go down and arrange the house. Finally, he added in a low voice: "Investigate, what are the origins of those Japanese guests..." https: Please remember the first domain name of this book. :.
