Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 348: The Three Stars Hongmen Banquet

There is a kind of woman in the world who has beautiful looks, a good figure, good temperament, good intelligence, and money. It seems that God has given her all the favors in the world. She can be called a rich and beautiful woman walking in the world.

Of course, God also has his moments of napping, leaving his flawless beauty with minor flaws, such as his poor eye for picking husbands. Well, I'm not talking about Zhang Yuqi.
Chen Mo had seen her photos on the Internet and knew that this was Samsung Princess Lee Boo-jin!

In terms of appearance alone, perhaps one or two people in the girl group that just performed can be compared with her, but Lee Boo-jin's temperament, which has been developed from years of luxury and the influence of the environment, instantly makes the difference between the two like that between a firefly and the bright moon.

Chen Mo felt that the other person possessed a special temperament that was a mixture of the immaturity of a twenty-year-old, the charm of a thirty-year-old, and the elegance of a forty-year-old. Even though Chen Mo was knowledgeable and experienced, he was still dazzled by this woman whose actual age could not be determined.

Oops! I met a real goblin.

Chen Mo quickly came to his senses and felt that Li Fuzhen looked a little unhappy. He nodded to her, and the other party smiled politely but it disappeared.
Li Jianxi said to Chen Mo kindly, "You must be hungry. Fuzhen and I rarely come here. I heard that you are here too, so I asked Jae-yong to invite you to have a simple meal. Just treat it as your own home. Don't be polite."

Then he winked at Lee Jae-yong, who gave a few instructions to his assistant. Soon, waiters came in one after another, bringing Korean local delicacies to the table as if they were free, without caring whether the people could finish them or not.

Looking at the meal spread out in front of his seat that was comparable to the Korean state banquet, Chen Mo was a little shocked. Wow, the last meal before execution was just like this.

Lee Kun-hee's performance at this time made Chen Mo feel that he was not like the chairman of Samsung. Instead, it was more like an elder's care for the younger generation, which made him quite uncomfortable.

You have to know that business tycoons like these have multiple masks on their faces. What is this old fox trying to hide?

Like Liang Mengsong, Chen Mo does not take the initiative, does not refuse, and does not take responsibility. He does not pay attention to any etiquette when eating.

After seeing Lee Kun-hee picking up his chopsticks, Chen Mo, without hesitation, introduced the dish that included both meat and vegetables, with the attitude of a tiger that could swallow up everything in its path.

There was no way. He slept at Liang Mengsong's house last night. They went out at around 7 o'clock in the morning and just had a quick meal. They arrived at the manor at 11 o'clock and watched the "show" for almost an hour. Now it was almost 12 o'clock and he was already starving. He could not let anyone suffer a loss, but could not let himself suffer a loss.

However, Chen Mo's move caught the three members of the Li family off guard. Lee Boo-jin looked at her little brother curiously with eyes that seemed to be able to speak. Although she didn't know why her father wanted her to accompany him, she still had a somewhat novel impression of this man and found him more pleasing to the eye.

During the meal, Lee Kun-hee's attitude towards Chen Mo was more like an elder than a senior in the industry, and he chatted with Chen Mo about family matters.

For example, how many people are there in your family? Do you have any brothers or sisters? What are your hobbies? Do you have a girlfriend? .
Chen Mo answered while eating. As a single man, he had nothing to hide. Although these words sounded like a blind date, he did not think much about it.

Even though Lee Boo-jin looked about the same age as him, it was as if time had been especially kind to her and had not left any traces on her face. Otherwise, how did the saying go? Time never defeats beauty, and that was probably it.

But in fact, Lee Boo-jin seemed to be more than ten years older than him. This awkward age difference between an older sister and an aunt made Chen Mo only admire her without any extra thoughts.

Besides, the head of a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars brought him all the way here just for a blind date? Who would believe it if they told anyone else!

There must be a big move coming up.

Unlike Chen Mo who still maintains the fine tradition of the Chinese Plate Campaign when he goes abroad, Lee Kun-hee is old and usually eats only a little. After a few bites, he would wipe the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

Then they talked about business, "Xiao Chen, I invited you here by chance this time, just for two small things."

Chen Mo put down his chopsticks for the first time, and he felt refreshed. He also felt a little excited. Is it finally coming?
"President Li, I wonder which two small things they are?"

Lee Kun-hee smiled and said, "First of all, I want to know that Xiaomi recently cooperated with Nvidia. In addition to this company, it should have secretly contacted MediaTek, right? Are there other companies? For example, TSMC?

The second thing is that Samsung’s Exynos chip is quite good. We want to reach a strategic partnership with Xiaomi on chips and would like you to help us.

You are Lei Jun's best friend in private and the third largest shareholder of Xiaomi. I think you should know the first thing and you should be able to facilitate the second thing."

Can you answer this question casually? Don't think you can buy me off just by letting me watch a show or have a meal with you.

Unless you lend me Lee Boo-jin for a week, maybe I can consider it
Chen Mo smiled at Lee Kun-hee, then picked up his chopsticks and continued eating. Although there were dozens of bowls stacked in front of him, he basically ate one bite at a time. Except for the staple food, the other portions were even smaller than those of southern side dishes.

Unlike in the north, where four people share four dishes, the food can be eaten sideways. The portion of a plate is called a basin in the south.
No wonder the country often ridicules the Koreans as "Xiba", with a small word in front of it, and they have to host half of the Olympics together with other countries.
Seeing this, Lee Kun-hee also realized that these two things were a bit presumptuous. Both the industry and the public knew that Lei Jun and Chen Mo were as close as a pair of pants.

This kind of leakage of business secrets is no different from betrayal. It is only natural for the other party to refuse, and he will not force anyone.

In fact, Lee Kun-hee really misunderstood Chen Mo for the first thing. Chen Mo just heard Lei Jun mention it before, and he really didn't know whether Xiaomi and MediaTek signed a contract privately. However, Lee Kun-hee wanted to test Chen Mo's bottom line and began to raise the stakes, "If you reveal a little bit, I can let Samsung phones pre-install Bi'an's software, including mobile games, and split 55-."

Lee Kun-hee's increase in bets is no small move. Samsung and Apple are currently competing fiercely for first and second place in the global market. As the third largest player, Xiaomi can only watch from behind and cannot get involved.

If Samsung pre-installs Bi'an products, even if the profit is split 55-, Chen Mo roughly calculated that it would bring more than billion yuan in additional revenue to Bi'an, and that's an annual increase of
What he needs to do is simple, just answer a question and facilitate cooperation between Samsung and Xiaomi.

As soon as the other party said the latter thing, Chen Mo figured out the key context. Samsung and Apple had a falling out some time ago and are now involved in a lawsuit. Then Apple got along well with TSMC and sent a lot of chip orders.

To make matters worse, Xiaomi, which had been cooperating well with Qualcomm, suddenly announced a partnership with Nvidia, causing Qualcomm to start looking for allies in China. In just less than half a month, it reached cooperation with Meizu, Oppo, Vivo, and ZTE.

There are only a few large mobile phone manufacturers in China. Lenovo uses Nvidia and MediaTek, and Meizu originally used Samsung but later joined Qualcomm.

Samsung now has no market in China for chips. Originally, it didn't matter, but now the problem is that it has lost Apple, a major customer.
So it’s not wrong for them to set their sights on Xiaomi, which ranks third in market share.

After all, Xiaomi’s current sales volume, except for Huawei, is the sum of the sales volume of several other companies.

Unlike in the past when Xiaomi had to beg everyone for help to find suppliers, the situation between our enemies and us has changed now.

And this is what Chen Mo wants very much. Xiaomi can take this opportunity to abandon Nvidia, which will not be able to survive in the mobile phone chip industry for more than two years, and MediaTek, which is prone to failure.

At the same time, Samsung and Qualcomm have a good relationship. Xiaomi cooperates with Samsung. Even if Qualcomm is a little uncomfortable, it is much better than Nvidia and MediaTek.

Samsung chips are still okay, so Xiaomi's risk of jumping back and forth between Samsung and Qualcomm will be much smaller. What's more, with Mi An and Liang Mengsong in place, they will eventually buy enough time for self-developed chips.

After figuring out the key points, even if Chen Mo could do the second thing, he remained silent on the surface. In business and negotiation, the most taboo thing is to show your emotions on the surface.

"President Li, you are trying to put me in an unfair position. I have two principles when helping others. I will not do anything that violates public order and morality."

"Even if Samsung can bring billions of dollars in profits to the other side, have you thought about it?"

"I'm still young. I can earn a mere 10 billion yuan with peace of mind. Why should I feel guilty?"

Lee Kun-hee nodded secretly. He remained calm in the face of beauty, was as steady as a rock when it came to profit, and his words showed great ambition. This boy is worth making friends with.

"Then I'll take a step back. The first thing won't be necessary. As for the second thing, can you help me pass a message to Lei Jun? Just tell him that Samsung wants to cooperate with Xiaomi on mobile phone chips."

Chen Moqi said, "Xiaomi should have cooperated with you in LCD screens and memory before. I need to pass on the message."

As he was talking, Chen Mo finally understood that direct talks would easily lead to failure. Having a middleman would provide room for buffering and mediation, and he was the best choice for this middleman.

Rather than keeping the useless Liang Mengsong, it would be better to do himself a favor. It turns out that no one in the business world is easy to deal with.

Chen Mo wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and took the opportunity to think carefully. There didn't seem to be any trap in this sentence. "No problem. After all, I ate your meal and watched Brother Li's performance. This little thing can still be done. I'll pass on the message, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not!"

After hearing the performance, Lee Boo-jin showed a hint of disgust on her face.
Li Jianxi nodded slightly, "No problem, no matter whether the matter succeeds or not, your efforts will not be in vain. Huaxia Samsung mobile phones can cooperate with Bi'an and pre-install the top ten Bi'an software in the market."

Is this the charm of an industry leader? This makes me feel embarrassed for not contributing.
At this point, Chen Mo had eaten and drunk his fill and saw that Lee Kun-hee looked a little tired. After all, he was in his seventies and was still worrying about the business at an age when he was enjoying his retirement. It really was a waste of his children.

This reminded him of the elder of Wahaha, who was paving the way for his daughter's future development despite being seriously ill, fearing that his daughter would be kicked out after he left.
Chen Mo took the opportunity to say goodbye, and Li Jianxi forced himself to cheer up, "It's a rare opportunity for you to come to Korea, let Jae-yong take you around and play here for a few days, and show some hospitality."

"I'll definitely do it next time. There's a long time to go!" Chen Mo declined politely. He was afraid that the night would be long and he didn't know when the flag would explode. Then he said goodbye to the three members of the Li family in a friendly manner.

"Zairong, go and see off the distinguished guest."

"Okay, father." Then Lee Jae-yong sent Chen Mo back in the same way he had brought him here.

Only Lee Kun-hee and his daughter were left in the room. Lee Kun-hee did not look depressed at all. Instead, he asked his eldest daughter with great interest,
"Fuzhen, what do you think of Chen Mo?"
