Chapter 2181 Very vicious eyes

As expected, the richest man was so proud that Zhou Buqi actually called Samsung's crown prince Li Zairong.

The other party is also very considerate.

He repeatedly promised that he would come up with a solution that would satisfy Ms. Xu.

Zhou Buqi didn't want to be aggressive, so he smiled and said: "Actually, it's just a small friction, not that serious. Let that Cui...Cui Chengxu apologize in person, and that's about it."

Li Zairong breathed a sigh of relief and said half-seriously: "Mr. Zhou has a good temper."

Zhou Buqi said: "When doing business, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bumps. This is normal. But business is business, and it is meaningless if it crosses the line, don't you think?"

"Yes, I agree very much. Samsung's overseas business is actually operating quite well. But here at home, many people have been in business for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will become a little arrogant."

Li Zaiyong sighed. Whether this matter is big or small, if word spreads about it, it may even affect Samsung's reputation and stock price.

This is the disadvantage of a small country with few people.

Samsung is a listed company in the United States, and most of its shares are in the hands of Wall Street.

If Samsung's stock price drops due to some force majeure, it will be okay.

If Samsung's stock price falls because its executives are messing around in a domineering way, Samsung will feel pressure from investors.

This is a paradox between closure and openness.

In the 1990s, during the Asian financial crisis, South Korea turned to the United States for help in order to cope with the economic crisis. The United States' request is that South Korea should comply with WTO requirements and open its market, not only the film market and trade market, but also the financial market.

A large amount of American capital has entered South Korea.

Samsung received U.S. capital and achieved rapid development. With the help of U.S. capital, Samsung even broke into the global market and gradually became a world-class giant.

This is a real benefit.

The disadvantage is that most of Samsung's shares have been taken away by American capital, and the Li family's shareholding in Samsung is only 2%.

If it is closed, the Li family can firmly control Samsung Group and have an absolute advantage in shares, but the company's development is too slow, revenue cannot increase, and employees' salaries and benefits cannot be increased;

If it is open, employees' salaries and benefits will increase, and the company will develop globally, the Li family's control over Samsung will not be as strong as before.

Some company bosses have a big personality and a high ideological level. They feel that the company has the obligation to pay more taxes, create more jobs, and give more salary increases to employees, so they will open their minds to accept external funds.

Some company bosses only want to inherit hereditary inheritance. As long as they don’t bring in external funds, their family can stay in power forever. Anyway, the family has enough food and drink to spend. As for how many jobs will be created and what are the salaries of employees? , they don’t care, holding power in their hands is more important than anything else.

Just like the ancient imperial court, seclusion is conducive to the stability of the country.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Samsung is such an excellent company. I have always wanted to find opportunities to visit and learn from it."

"Oh?" Li Zairong was startled for a moment, then became happy, "Okay, welcome! Very, very much!"

A big shot of this level would definitely not come here for no reason.

If it comes, there will definitely be a series of orders behind it.

Li Zaiyong is the crown prince of Samsung and is in charge of Samsung Electronics. Boss Zhou's industry happens to be mainly in the IT direction, so there are too many opportunities for cooperation between the two parties.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Then it's a deal. On the 9th of this month, I will go to South Korea."

"No problem!" Li Zaiyong said enthusiastically, "I'll arrange it!"

When Zhou Buqi called, Xu Baihui opened her eyes wide and became a little angry, "I thought you were doing it for me!"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It was just for you!"

Xu Baihui snorted: "Don't lie, I heard it all. You originally wanted to discuss cooperation with Samsung Electronics, right? Is it for the purchase order for Asda mobile phones? Or do you want to pre-install Helo, Ucgram or something on Samsung?" In your cell phone?”

Zhou Buqi said frankly: "No, it's over at Ma Pingshan."

"What's wrong with him?" Xu Baihui blinked and suddenly remembered something, "Yes, I saw Bajixing's financial report last month. It lost US$180 million last year. It seems that something happened to some product."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, a flagship aircraft had a slight problem and more than 10,000 aircraft were recalled. The domestic avionics system is still a bit inferior and cannot be installed on the flagship aircraft."

How could Xu Baihui understand this? She asked with concern: "What's the reason?"

Zhou Buqi said: "The quality of the flight control circuit board and wireless communication circuit board is not enough... In fact, it can't be seen during normal flight. But the domestic ones are not resistant to falling. The drone is bound to be dropped and bumped. You can’t just drop it and break it. Flagship models must have shock-proof and drop-proof functions.”

Xu Baihui said "Oh", "That's why I want to purchase Samsung's avionics products."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Ma Pingshan said there are three companies to choose from, one is from the United States, one is from France, and one is from South Korea. If possible, it is best to concentrate all important partners in China, Japan and South Korea." Here. If domestic products don’t work, go to Japan and South Korea. If they don’t work, go to Europe and the United States. If something happens in the future, I can control it here in Asia.”

Xu Baihui clapped her little hands happily, "It's awesome, Boss Zhou is really awesome!"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, go and do your work. It's time for Lao Ma to come. He came here specially from Hangzhou, so he didn't just come to me to say New Year's greetings."

After a while, Boss Ma arrived.

Look serious.

When Zhou Buqi saw him, he took the lead and said, "By the way, have you talked to Wei Zhe?"

"Ah?" Boss Ma was slightly startled, "What are you talking about?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Join Lianjia. The conditions offered are not bad. 5% dry shares. Isn't this sincerity enough? He seems to be a little hesitant. Please tell him."

Boss Ma said: "I don't know much about the Lian family, what should I say?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "You don't understand Lianjia, and you don't understand me? What I said can be wrong? Lianjia's model is the only correct model for Internet real estate agencies. Don't look at Qunar, 58, go to the market or anything like that now It’s quite a scene, and it won’t be possible for a few years.”

Boss Ma nodded, "When it comes to business judgment, your vision is indeed very vicious. I'm convinced."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Then help me, go and give Wei Zhe a message, don't hesitate too much."

"These are all trivial matters," Boss Ma waved his hand, "Have you heard about the news at Yahoo?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"You are so right!"

"problem occurs?"

Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide.

Boss Ma shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know exactly what happened yet. Anyway, the board of directors sent back news that the stock repurchase was put on hold for now."

"What?" Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say everything was settled?"

Boss Ma said: "We have negotiated, and the original deadline was half a year. Now that Yahoo has changed its CEO, but it is not in a hurry to promote this matter, this must mean that something has happened to the new CEO."

Zhou Buqi laughed, "How do you judge?"

Boss Ma said calmly: "A new CEO has taken office. Normally, the board of directors must give him money to show his talents. But Yahoo has no money now. If you want to get money, you can only sell the stock Sold to Alibaba. Now that they have suspended the stock buyback case, doesn’t it mean that the current board of directors is less supportive of the new CEO?”

Zhou Buqi said: "I have already said that this game of chess is very complicated. Don't think that Yang Zhiyuan is out of the game, as if he can take away all the contradictions. It's still early!"

Boss Ma looked suspicious, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi stretched his waist and said matter-of-factly: "What else can you mean? Let's play music and fight! This CEO was picked by Yang Zhiyuan, and there are several Yang Zhiyuan's cronies on Yahoo's board of directors. The management has been given to Yahoo! They have been trapped for too long and they finally eliminated Yang Zhiyuan, so they will not let it go."

"Drive everyone away?" Boss Ma shook his head, "This is impossible! The management does not have that much ability, and they do not have the support of the management. If the management really comes to drive everyone away, the management will collectively Resigned, Yahoo's stock price plummeted, and they were all dumbfounded."

Zhou Buqi narrowed his eyes, "Well, that makes sense. The relationship between the two parties needs to be brought together."

"Win over?" Boss Ma stared at him, "What do you want to do? Don't tell me you haven't given up on Yahoo yet!"

Zhou Buqi admitted generously, "Well, I have no intention of giving up."

Boss Ma was confused and said: "Why? In the past twenty years, Yahoo has still focused on portal business and has been on the edge of the Internet industry. How can it still have any vitality? Can you save Yahoo?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It is difficult to save Yahoo, but it is still possible to make money from Yahoo. In the past, Yahoo's market share may have been 40%, with 300 million Internet users worldwide and a coverage of 120 million. In the future, Yahoo's market share It has shrunk to 10%, but the global Internet users have reached 3 billion, and Yahoo’s coverage is 300 million. Have you noticed? Although the market share has shrunk severely, the earning power has increased.”

Boss Ma almost laughed angrily because he would not listen to his deception, "Don't do this to me! You created such a big scene and made it so complicated just to make a little money? Am I so easy to deceive?"

Zhou Buqi continued: "There are still shares. Yahoo holds 35% of Yahoo Japan's shares and 40% of Ali's shares... Even if Ali repurchases 20% this time, there will still be 20% left. Then It is also an asset with great potential.”

This is indeed a reason.

But Boss Ma knows Zhou Buqi too well.

This guy is not short of money at all!

Even if these shares are valuable, so what? For example, the remaining 20% ​​of Alibaba shares have no practical strategic and business significance for Ziweixing International.

Once you get this share, it is just a financial investment in a simple sense, just to make money.

With this guy's method of making money, what can he do that can't make money?

As for how you have been working on this for several months and are still staring at Yahoo, a complex and complicated case? There must be a more important reason behind this!
