Top of the big era

People in the Zheng family had previously speculated that as boss Zhou, he took time out of his busy schedule to make a special trip to South Korea. I am afraid it was not just as simple as raising funds for Kakao.

The mention of cooperation in the mobile phone business made Zheng Zhongchun very excited.

After the internal strife in the Zheng family, the mobile phone business was their most despised industry. You know, the mobile phone business of Hyundai Group, which was a giant back then, was not much worse than the automobile business and heavy industry business.

If there was a way to solve it, it would be pie in the sky.

This time the cooperation between the Zheng family and Mr. Zhou is very likely to be a package of cooperation like last time.

Well, good thing!

Zheng Zhongchun seemed to have a romantic temperament at first glance, and the conversation was almost over, saying that he wanted to invite Zhou Buqi to rest in the bedroom upstairs.

Zhou Buqi didn't accept it, and arranged a car to send the little star back, and went home with Ning Lu.

"why are you laughing?"

Zhou Buqi was a little confused and found Ning Lu next to her with an unconcealable snicker on her pretty face.

Ning Lu laughed and said, "I thought you would let that little star accompany you."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said, "Sometimes you need to play around, but you don't need to do it once you're familiar with it. I'm not a playboy like Zheng Zhongchun."

"Is he a dandy?" Ning Lu tilted her head, a little surprised, "I didn't notice it. I think he is also very good. His conversation, behavior, and content of speech are quite good."

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "Who told you that a dandy must be an imbecile? Many ancient emperors were also dandies when they were young, and when they grew up, they were able to manipulate the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty with applause."

Ning Lu blinked and whispered, "Is this your way of driving away wolves and devouring tigers?"

Zhou Buqi glared at her and said, "Go back and talk."

Ning Lu stuck out her sweet tongue and shut up with a smile.

The driver was a local, so I was a little worried.

After Ning Yaxian gave birth to a child, she no longer always stayed with Zhou Buqi. She wanted to spend more time with her child growing up. The father is busy outside every day. If the mother is also busy every day and leaves the child to a nanny, it would be extremely irresponsible for the parents.

So the main people following Zhou Buqi now are Sun Wanran and Ning Lu.

Abroad, the main one is Ning Lu, because her language skills are so strong, English, Korean, Japanese, German, French... I really don’t know how she learned it. She learns new languages ​​quickly.

From her explanation, there is a trick to learning a new language. Once you learn a new language, it will be easier to learn a second new language.

Zhou Buqi felt that he couldn't do it.

His English is already very good, but he has no idea about learning a second foreign language. However, he also knew that this shouldn't be too difficult. Not to mention these highly educated intellectuals, even those European football players often transferred to various countries and it was very common to speak three or five foreign languages.

After returning home, it was only around 10 p.m.

Zhou Buqi took a shower first, and Sun Wanran and Ning Lu stood beside him as if they were visiting, staring at his naked butt while he was taking a shower.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Even though Zhou Buqi was thick-skinned and a little embarrassed, he sent them both away.

The two of them dispersed happily.

After taking a shower, eat a few pieces of fruit, then go to the study room to read the important materials sent by various companies today. Now everything is digital, working directly through WeChat.

Once you get used to WeChat, it is really efficient and convenient.

As soon as he opened his ThinkPad laptop, Sun Wanran and Ning Lu came over in a group, one carrying a glass of soda and the other a fruit plate.

Big eyes stare at small eyes.

"What are you two doing?" Zhou Buqi was a little funny, "I want to be favored. Let's talk about it later. Let me look at some documents first."

Sun Wanran rolled her eyes at him, "Sister, it's inconvenient today and I won't serve you!"

Ning Lu said in a low voice: "Driving away wolves and devouring tigers, what's going on? Do you want to promote Hyundai to compete with Samsung?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, I guessed it right."

Ning Lu has been following him. She has met people from Samsung and Hyundai respectively, and feels a little confused. "Could it be... I feel like this is not very powerful."

Zhou Buqi was amused by her, "Not great yet? What do you want? To destroy Samsung directly?"

Ning Lu said softly: "It's not a lesson."

"Lesson? This is much more powerful than a lesson." Zhou Buqi shook his head, "A lesson is a short-term behavior, a short-term punishment. Only by reaching cooperation with modern mobile phones can it have a longer-term effect. Moreover, this is aimed at Samsung’s home base is aimed at South Korea’s local market, and we must prevent others from jumping over the wall.”

In order to seize the top spot of Android mobile phones from Asda, Samsung has worked hard. It has reached a long-term cooperative relationship with Google and is litigating with Apple at the same time.

It can be said that he is very courageous and very ambitious!

The very important reason why they dare to take action so fiercely is that Samsung mobile phones have a solid foundation. This foundation is South Korea’s local market.

The general atmosphere in South Korea leans to the right, and national sentiment has been strong for decades. Several presidents at the Blue House have wanted to change, and have made several attempts to ease relations with Japan to promote friendly exchanges between the two countries, but almost all have failed.

The important reason for this current situation is chaebol control.

The plutocrats like the right-wing atmosphere, and the plutocrats control the media propaganda. The stronger the national sentiment, the stronger the people’s xenophobia. The result is that Koreans prefer to buy products from domestic companies.

The local market has become the core fundamentals of the chaebol industry.

Samsung mobile phones are unbeatable in the local market.

The domestic market is already saturated. If Samsung Mobile wants to seek further growth, it will definitely set its sights on the international market and compete with Asda for territory.

Zhou Buqi said: "Samsung is going overseas to compete with Asda for the market. The best countermeasure is not to confront them head-on. Google is trying to sidestep it. The best way is to open up a second battlefield."

Ning Lu blinked, "South Korea?"

"right."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Ning Lu said thoughtfully: "Aster has no sales in South Korea. For Asda, the Korean market is a market that will never be developed. If Asda can't do it, then support Hyundai. Let Hyundai mobile phones sell in South Korea." The market war with Samsung mobile phones has created chaos in Samsung’s rear areas.”

Zhou Buqi laughed, "Yes, very smart! Come on!"

He patted his thigh.

Ning Lu pursed her lips and smiled, turned to look at Sun Wanran, then ran over happily, sat sideways on Zhou Buqi's lap, and gently hooked her hands around his neck.

Sun Wanran hummed: "No flirting during working hours."

Zhou Buqi waved to her, "Are you coming too?"

"I'm not going." Sun Wanran hasn't been feeling well these days and has no interest at all. There is one question that he can't figure out, "How miserable modern mobile phones are now. The main sales are feature phones and multimedia phones, which are already outdated. They simply can't compete with Samsung phones."

Zhou Buqi said: "So when it comes to supporting Hyundai, this is not just verbal help, it must be substantial help that can completely reverse the situation."

"How to help?"

"OEM!"

"ah?"

Sun Wanran was surprised.

Zhou Buqi said: "Aster's mobile phone is so great. Just looking at the design, isn't it much more beautiful than a Samsung mobile phone? Smartphones are not just good quality alone, they also have to be fashionable and beautiful. iPhone, BlackBerry and Aster are the design styles in today's world. The most fashionable and cutting-edge mobile phone brand. Modern mobile phones are too old-fashioned. Directly customize a batch of Aster3, without the Aster brand, directly put the Hyundai brand on it, and sell it to South Korea."

Ning Lu snuggled into the big boss's arms, feeling warm, and said with a faint face: "Well, this is a good idea. Aster's poor sales in South Korea are not because the mobile phone is not good, but because it is a foreign brand. If With the Hyundai trademark on it, we have the national foundation to sell it locally.”

Sun Wanran murmured: "Change the skin, just like Kakao and JTmall."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes, almost."

Kakao and JTmall are both Korean companies and Korean entrepreneurial teams. But in fact, these two companies are both members of the "Ziwei Galaxy". In order to cater to the Korean market, Ziwei Star changed its skin and started an Internet company in South Korea.

For this reason, Zhou Buqi also specifically told Jin Fanxiu to ask him to study the business model of "BATE", which is the four major domestic Internet giants, Baidu, Alibaba, Tengxun and Ziweixing.

More imitation, more plagiarism, more copying.

Just try it out in Korea with a makeover.

Same goes for mobile phones.

Aster had no chance of development in Korea, so he simply stopped working hard and quit completely. Then, by producing a batch of Aster mobile phones with the "Hyundai" trademark and selling them in South Korea, we can avoid the unsolvable national problems.

Such an operation can also avoid the head-on confrontation between Asda and Samsung in the Korean market, and avoid escalating the conflict between the two companies.

This is very important, so be careful.

Just like the iPhone to the US market, the US is the home base of the iPhone. If the sales of other mobile phones in the United States are good, they may shake the foundation of the iPhone. Apple will definitely keep an eye on it and pick up the patent stick!

In contrast, in other countries and regions, Apple is not so strong and often turns a blind eye.

If Asda plays too hard in the Korean market, it will inevitably lead to a fierce counterattack from Samsung.

Why not just stand behind the scenes and chase away the wolves and the tigers?

Let Hyundai and Samsung fight.

Sun Wanran felt a little distressed, "But... wouldn't this be too cheap and modern?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's not like my help was in vain."

"ah?"

"The advantage of Aster is that it is well designed, more fashionable and beautiful. The disadvantages are also obvious. The quality is not very good. It cannot compare with brands such as iPhone, Nokia, Samsung, Hyundai and Sony Ericsson, and it is about the same as BlackBerry."

Sun Wanran suddenly realized, "So Aster wants to borrow the powerful management system and testing production line of modern mobile phones? Let them help to make Aster's quality better?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, if you want to compete with Samsung in the international market, you must first have strong capabilities. The quality of mobile phones cannot be worse than Samsung. The quality of modern mobile phones is much better than Samsung mobile phones."
