Chapter 1400 Big shot
“What’s the matter? Just a few plates of beef? I don’t even want to touch the pufferfish...”
“Those plates of beef you ordered are more expensive than pufferfish!” Zhang Siluo squeezed Zhou Zhi's shoulder, and occasionally made contact with Zhou Zhi under his thin shirt: "And those bottles of wine, do you think it's cheap?"
"Just that 20-degree red potato wine ?" Zhou Zhi was about to get angry.
"Oh, please keep your voice down!" Zhang Siluo stamped his feet regardless of the rhythm of the music: "I'm talking about the bottle that you blew away..."
"Only that bottle tasted interesting to me..."
"You can really do it. That bottle is from the 14th generation of the island country. It costs 350,000 yen a bottle. Just give it to you. ..."
"How much is three hundred and fifty thousand yen?" Zhou Zhi is familiar with international exchange rates of US dollars, euros and pounds.
“More than 20,000 yuan!” Zhang Siluo gritted his teeth: “You’ve turned Old Jin’s face pale from drinking.”
“So expensive?” Zhou Zhi now asks Xiaoliujie to give it to him every year Enter Moutai, Wuliangye and Luzhou Laojiao. A bottle of Moutai now only costs more than 100 yuan. Even if the price of Moutai for more than ten years has increased significantly, it is still less than a thousand.
How dare a bottle of sake like that be more expensive than two boxes of old Moutai? !
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi smiled and whispered in Zhang Siluo's ear: "Don't worry, Lao Jin is selling old goods. He now collects our national liquor Maotai. That is the real value." "Depression."
"Anyway, I told you, you can do it yourself." Zhang Siluo said angrily: "Drinking, lusting, and wealth." , you men have something in common, I don’t care.”
“Sister, I just finished my freshman year, don’t compare me to old men like Lao Jin and Lao Matsui...”
"Let's go back. With your drinking capacity and sly attitude, you don't look like a freshman at all."
The two of them returned from the dance floor to the dining table. Hu Changfeng suggested: "How about this for today? Let's go back and rest early. We must be energetic tomorrow and study hard with our colleagues from Samsung."
Jin Chunyi He had no choice but to put down his hand that was about to invite Zhang Siluo to dance: "What do you think about your elbow? Are you done drinking?"
"Drink up, drink up," Zhou Zhi had to say. Jin Chunyi raised his hand and said, "I've made a fool of myself. I didn't expect that bottle of 14th Generation to be so expensive. When I get back to China, I'll pay you two boxes of Maotai..."
"This is wrong, Miss Zhang. Everyone, come out." Eating is about being happy, and in China we often talk about it. What is this called... in Chinese, it is called courtesy?" At this time, Jin Chunyi started to talk about the situation again.
After coming out of the hotel, Jin Chunyi quietly pulled Zhou Zhi aside and hinted that if he wanted to play like he and Matsui Zao did at the Minshan Hotel, he could arrange it.
Of course Zhou Zhi waved his hands after hearing this, saying that he had no such hobbies at all.
After a night of silence, starting from the next day, Zhou Zhi and his party began to experience Samsung's corporate culture in a serious way.
From Zhou Zhi's point of view, it is actually similar to that of later generations in China. Wearing work ID badges and swiping cards to go to work, everyone enters the building in a hurry. Employees who arrive early can also go to the staff canteen to enjoy a semi-welfare breakfast. There is also a cafe, gym and even a swimming pool.
Overtime work is also encouraged in the evening. Everything is similar to that of a four-leaf clover. Even the smart IC employee card of the four-leaf clover has not been used. The card is swiped with a bank card. After doing this, Zhou Zhi felt that this was just the way it was for the mighty Samsung Group. At the very least, the employee food was worse than that of a four-leaf clover.
After breakfast, the employees of Samsung Electronics invited the delegation into the conference room, followed by several senior executives. After Zhang Siluo's introduction, they shook hands with Hu Changfeng, Zhou Zhi and his party with a calm face.
Zhang Siluo was a little cautious when speaking in front of these people. After translating, Zhou Zhi learned about the big shots of Samsung Electronics, President Cui Zhicheng, Vice President of Storage Equipment Technology Department Kwon Oh-hyun, and one of the co-CEOs Shin Jongjun .
They are all top executives of Samsung. They don’t need to give the delegation any smiles. Just being able to sit down for a while is already a great honor to the Chinese delegation.
Kwon Oh-hyun is the team leader who led the team to conquer 64M storage, while Shin Jong-jun is the leader of Samsung’s mobile phone business.
The two participated in this meeting. Kwon Wu-hyun was because Clover and Huahong Group were preparing to discuss a joint venture with Samsung to build a memory chip factory, while Shen Zongjun was engaged in a similar business to Zhou Zhi. Business - the underlying operating system for mobile devices.
However, as one of the earliest companies to develop mobile phones, Samsung once led the global mobile phone market with its stylish, compact and powerful design, especially during the period when CDMA mobile phones were popular, accounting for half of the global CDMA mobile phone market.
However, after entering the era of smartphones, Samsung fell into a period of many and complicated R&D chaos. In addition to the Symbian system jointly developed with Symbian and WINDOWS MOBILE jointly developed with Microsoft, after Android came out, I made my own TOUCHWIZUI.
After seeing that self-developed systems such as Apple’s IOS are becoming more and more popular, Samsung wants to develop its self-developed system BADA to conform to the ecosystem of IOS. As a result, there are only a few responders, resulting in a lack of application apps and an ecosystem. The construction failed and was completely defeated by Androids who freely downloaded APPs for free.
After the failure, we teamed up with many world-renowned companies to develop LIMO, a system based on Linux that is stronger than Android and wants to be compatible with Linux and Android programs.
It can be said that Samsung had not clarified its research and development ideas until that time, but the system still failed because there were too many bugs in the system. The biggest one was the input method problem, which brought a lot of problems to downstream groups doing ecological research and development. trouble.
After that, Samsung adjusted its thinking again and directly jointly developed TIZENOS, an open source system based on Linux, with chip manufacturer Intel. At this time, Samsung's mentality was already a bit broken. "If I can't make money from the closed loop, I will destroy the closed loop." Open source is the way to go.
This system is actually quite good, it is compatible with many operating systems, and ecological research and development is relatively easy. It even has the functions of the first generation of IoT, but the timing is too late.
How late is it? At this time, it is already 2016, and we have entered an era where Apple and Android share the world equally.
The world doesn’t need a third smartphone operating system anymore.
This is pure "get up early and catch the late market".
There is no doubt that this must be inseparable from the unclear vision, confused thinking, and poor decision-making of Samsung Mobile Phone leaders.
However, now that Samsung's mobile phone business is on the rise, Shen Zongjun is very arrogant. Among the "big leaders", he is the one with the least smile on his face.
When everyone was seated, the meeting officially started. Everyone communicated in English. First, President Cui Zhicheng began to speak. He generally welcomed the arrival of the Chinese delegation, and then briefly introduced Samsung Electronics’ achievements and current key businesses. and future industrial planning blueprints.
The cooperation with China was highlighted, especially the factory in Jinhai, which produced the world's first 64M DRAM. This capability not only made Samsung Group, but also made the world aware of China's semiconductors. The manufacturing capabilities are impressive and are also the prerequisite foundation and continuous driving force for the two parties to further in-depth cooperation.
