Chapter 642 The Samsung Delegation with Eyes Higher than the Top
With the basis of early contact with Reina Fujiwara, the contact negotiation between Yuanqi Technology and Toshiba Semiconductor became a matter of course.
It's just that there are so many details of cooperation, so the whole negotiation process will be a protracted tug of war.
However, finalizing such details and bargaining are, after all, the business of the people below.
Unless it rises to a height that affects the progress of the negotiation or the intention of cooperation, the minds of both parties will have to intervene to promote it.
So for a while, apart from periodically listening to the negotiation progress and reports, Wu Tao couldn't directly intervene.
But he can see it.
After all, now that the stall is bigger, there are more capable people below. To be a qualified boss is to give the following people sufficient room for development, allowing them to give full play to their talents, so as to push the company's business forward.
Instead of doing everything by myself, and taking care of it personally.
Because it is impossible for such a company to really grow and grow.
Although the direction of the chip does not involve his energy for the time being, there is a new entertainment in the direction of Lotus products.
After several exchanges and visits in the early stage, the LCD professional team from Samsung finally arrived in Jinling as scheduled.
Early in the morning, Leng Ning specially came to report to Wu Tao about this matter.
"The person in charge of the Samsung delegation this time is Minister Park Jeong-nam, who is in charge of LCD screens. As for the members of the delegation, they are mainly technical R&D personnel for LCD panels and IC chips, supplemented by some market development personnel. , a total of 18 people."
It turned out to be just a minister.
When Wu Tao heard this, he felt a lot more relaxed. After all, my status is equivalent to the president of a Korean company, I don't know how many levels higher than a small minister, and my status is undoubtedly crushed.
In addition, Yuanqi Technology is a potential customer of Samsung, which itself is at the commanding heights of cooperation.
So he responded casually: "Okay, I understand. When there is an important meeting that requires me to attend, just notify me in time."
Seeing that the boss didn't plan to follow him from the beginning to the end, Leng Ning, who was in charge of the situation for the first time, was somewhat guilty.
Withdrew silently, and when she reached the door, Wu Tao suddenly stopped her and said, "Is the LCD technology team sent by Boss Lin in place?"
"They arrived in Jinling yesterday."
"Very well, before approaching with the Samsung delegation, both of you should get familiar with each other first, so that you can cooperate well during formal negotiations."
"Yes, boss."
Although he felt that the boss didn't take the Samsung delegation's visit seriously, Leng Ning himself still attached great importance to this cooperation.
In the final analysis, as the person in charge of Lotus product development, Leng Ning must be responsible for the Lotus brand's ability to continue to maintain a leading position in new features and concepts of mobile phones in the future.
The color LCD screen will be a crucial part.
Nowadays, several well-known brands such as Nokia, Motorola, and Ericsson, after being robbed of the limelight and occupying the market by Lotus mobile phones for two consecutive years, are now holding back their energy to pull Lotus mobile phones from the altar.
It is also not difficult to imagine that the Samsung delegation can visit Yuanqi Technology, and they can also visit Nokia and Motorola.
Anyway, there is no harm for Samsung to have a few more target customers for LCD screens.
Jinling International Airport.
As Leng Ning's deputy, Deng Fangzheng, with two subordinates and an interpreter, waited coweringly at the international arrival place.
As an international airport that has just opened, it is still a little deserted, and all equipment and facilities are not yet in place.
Even so, it is much more majestic than the transitional Dajiaochang Airport.
But for Pu Zhengnan, who had just touched the magical land of Huaxia, he obviously didn't think so.
As one of the four Asian tigers, South Korea itself belongs to the ranks of moderately developed countries. It has a contemptuous attitude towards China, which has always been lagging behind itself, from the inside out.
Therefore, the current international airport is really barren and empty for Pu Zhengnan and his party.
"Really, there is not even an air conditioner, it is too backward..."
In the queue behind, there was a graceful woman, frowning, with a resentful expression on her face.
"Proxy Jin!" Park Zhengnan scolded with a serious face, which made the woman named Jin Xiuyan tremble, and then changed her tone: "If Consultant Cheng insisted on proposing this visit, I would not have come. "
Koreans are easy to recognize.
From afar, Deng conveniently saw a group of guys with eyes higher than the top, pointing all the way.
That's right, these eight achievements are Samsung's delegation.
When they got closer, some members of the group even carried packages marked with the "Samsung" brand, so Deng Fang was even more sure. Just looking at the sanctimonious look of the leader, Deng Fang felt a little conflicted.
However, as the person in charge of the reception party, Deng Fang still managed to control his emotions. When Pu Zhengnan and his party approached, he immediately waved his hand, and two of his subordinates immediately stepped forward to greet him.
As a result, when Park Zhengnan and his party saw two people rushing towards them like wolves and tigers, grabbing their bags, they immediately backed away in fright. And that coquettish woman Jin Xiuyan was so frightened that she screamed on the spot.
Is this a bit exaggerated?
Fortunately, the translator quickly explained, but even so, the delegation did not accept Deng Fang's people to help them carry their bags.
This is really a hot face with a cold ass.
Deng Fang couldn't help but feel a little gritty, and silently waved back the two subordinates, guiding Park Zhengnan and his group to get on the bus that came specially to pick up the airport.
Park Zhengnan and his party, who originally had the first impression of China as being backward, poor, and filthy, boarded the bus, bathed in the warm air-conditioned wind, and suddenly felt a little surprised.
Could it be that the other company rented a bus specially for receiving him?
For this reason, Park Zhengnan specifically asked Deng Fang for confirmation. After Deng Fang understood what he meant through a translator, he said casually: "Oh, this car is just a shuttle bus used by the company to pick up and drop off employees from get off work. Since it has not been in use for a long time, it still looks very new."
Such a luxury bus is just an ordinary bus? Could it be that Yuanqi Technology is more powerful than I imagined?
For a while, Park Zhengnan's mind was a little confused. Originally, he felt that he was a minister, but the other party only sent a person at the level of deputy director to pick him up, which was obviously a little neglected.
Because in his opinion, as the minister of a large group like Samsung, he is at least equivalent to the president and chairman of a third-rate company.
But now that I think about it, there are some discrepancies here.
At the moment, he tentatively asked: "Then how many such luxury buses does your company have in total?"
"18 cars!" Deng Fang couldn't figure out why the other party was interested in such a boring question, so he replied casually.
Unexpectedly, when Park Zhengnan heard this, he immediately gasped, his exaggerated expression was undisguised.
Not only that, Jin Xiuyan who was behind him was even more stunned and said, "Impossible?"
Park Zhengnan opened his mouth and reconfirmed: "So, Yuanqi Technology is actually a big company, so what is the approximate size of the annual revenue?"
"7 billion!" Deng Fang said casually.
Pu Zhengnan and Jin Xiuyan immediately exchanged glances knowingly, and Deng Fang suddenly added two words: "U.S. dollars!"
"My God, $7 billion?"
