Chapter 321 Only the first can survive
Jester's plane was late. It was originally a plane that arrived in New York at 3 o'clock, but it did not land at the airport until after 4 o'clock.
After arriving, Jester did not say anything to Lee Kun-hee immediately, but took the bus to the hotel. After all, he would be very tired after a long flight. You can temporarily put the Samsung matters on it. After all, Lee Kun-hee has to stay in the United States for a while.
The next morning, when Jester arrived at the headquarters of Samsung's North American branch in New York in a special car sent by Lee Kun-hee, he saw Lee Kun-hee, whose pupils were covered with blood.
Before Jester could ask, Lee Kun-hee smiled and said, "I removed some electronic products from the technician last night and did some research. I didn't have time to go to bed," while saying that, he led Jester to the conference room.
In this conference room, there are many electronic products that have been dismantled on the table in the middle, and many young technicians are constantly taking photos of different electronic products, while others are sitting and recording.
Others who were a little older stood aside with a look of embarrassment.
Jester is the second shareholder of Samsung Trading Company, and the executive director is not a secret. These senior executives of Samsung branches in North America know that many people have visited Jester in California. They don’t understand why Jester is back today. As far as they know, although Jester owns shares in Samsung, second only to Lee Kun-hee, he never participates in Samsung’s business.
On the way to the conference room, Lee Kun-hee had briefly told Jester about yesterday. Jester didn't think anything strange about the scene in front of him. He simply glanced at everyone in the conference room, and without saying a word, he took the initiative to walk to the table.
He picked up a Sony Walkman and Samsung's imitation product that had been dismantled, holding one in one hand, and then his eyes kept comparing the two products that had been dismantled. Jester looked very carefully and kept looking for nearly five minutes before putting down the things in his hand.
"My name is Jester Lee, you must all know. I am also a shareholder and executive director of Samsung. You must also know these."
After watching, Jester turned his head and said briefly to the more than 20 executives of the Samsung North American branch present, and then looked at Lee Kun-hee, and Lee Kun-hee also nodded to him, indicating that Jester could continue to speak. Jester had told him what he thought before, and in Lee Kun-hee's opinion, Jester almost coincided with him.
Before, Lee Kun-hee did not just inform Jester to come to New York to discuss countermeasures on how to revitalize Samsung in North America. At the same time, he also notified many heavyweights in Samsung trading clubs. For example, Jester knew that people who could be named were the current president of Samsung Electronics Kim Kwang-ho, Samsung Aviation president Lee Da-won, Samsung Watch president Hyun Ming Kwan-ho and Samsung Economic Research Institute director Lee Dong-sung.
As for the next level of his name, there are more.
These people did not stand with the more than 20 heads of Samsung North America, but were all standing behind Lee Kun-hee.
After receiving Lee Kun-hee's consent, Jester nodded and showed a smile on his face. He is not a very strict person. In Mars Entertainment, his authority is beyond doubt. In daily life, he is very easy to get along with.
"I just read a report from President Jin to me on the road. This was made by his technicians staying up late. There are a lot of contents in it. I will briefly talk about my understanding. If you need more details, you can ask President Jin for a look."
Jester said calmly, and Lee Kun-hee was present, and he was photographed by his tyranny yesterday. These more than 20 North American executives were really serious or pretending to be serious, at least on the surface, they were still very serious. Jester didn't care about so much. He just asked about his ideas at the invitation of Lee Kun-hee. After all, he is also the second shareholder of Samsung.
"In our products, the parts are used more than others, but the price is 20% cheaper than others. This means that the cost is higher than that of competitors, but it cannot be sold at a good price. As long as you have a little brain, you can summarize the reasons. I think there are only two points - our Samsung product technology and quality are lower than competitors."
They all know what Jester said, and it is precisely because of this reason that they think that their products are treated coldly in North America. It is natural to meet the situation that Lee Kun-hee saw in major shopping malls by herself.
"Yes, now when many of our products are compared with world-class products, many products can be seen at a glance. Both the appearance design and performance are very different from those of first-class brands. We must admit this. I have also read the report that our export volume is good, but the sales volume is also not satisfactory..."
When he said this, Jester saw someone's face showing a disdainful look, so Jester still smiled. He immediately stopped what he wanted to say, then pointed to the employee who had just looked disdainful, and said.
"What? Does Director Zheng have any different opinions on what I just said?"
Director Zheng, who was named by Jace, is a real-powered director of Samsung America Electronics. He has a great say in Samsung America. He has visited Jace before and has some impression of Jace, so he can call out his name and position as soon as possible.
Director Zheng thought that his disdainful expression just now was very secretive, and no one noticed it, but he was still a little embarrassed when he was suddenly called by Jester. Fortunately, he had been through a long battle formation. The moment he was named by Jester, his face immediately showed a respectful and humble look, and he said with a smile on his face.
"No, I didn't question Director Li's intentions. I just think the reason why we have ugly sales is because other companies resist us to open up new markets. We..." Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a radio shell flew in the sky and hit him directly in the face. Director Zheng immediately covered his cover and squatted down.
Lee Kun-hee, who was angry on the side, pointed a finger at Director Zheng, and the outer shell of the radio just now was his.
Lee Kun-hee moved his finger to the door of the conference room with a pale face, and then roared angrily: "Get out, get out immediately. Get out immediately, you are not qualified to participate in this meeting!"
Hearing Lee Kun-hee's words, Director Zheng looked at Lee Kun-hee incrediblely, as if he felt something was wrong with his previous hearing. He really couldn't believe that as his Samsung America number three figure, he would actually let himself go out at a meeting on how Samsung America will develop in the future.
Director Zheng was stunned on the spot. After Lee Kun-hee yelled, he still stood there motionless.
Then, Lee Kun-hee immediately picked up another part that she had removed from somewhere and threw it over again. At the same time, his mouth was still angrily yelling: "There is no need to listen to such a report, you can go out immediately now!"
In a state of inability, Director Zheng had to leave the stage with a gray face. He knew that his career at Samsung was basically over.
Samsung Electronics, the extremely president of Samsung Airlines. These real top leaders of Samsung Group want to ease the anger at the scene. Unexpectedly, Lee Kun-hee's anger has not yet been eliminated. He continued to angrily denounce Director Zheng just now.
"Why does Samsung have such a director? It's first-class shirk responsibility. Now Samsung is competing fiercely with products from countries around the world. Even if everyone works together, it's not necessarily possible to overcome the difficulties. But he is still shirking responsibility. How can such a person take on a big responsibility?"
Then, the person who originally wanted to persuade Lee Kun-hee had to continue acting directly on the words that had reached his throat.
After angrily scolding, Lee Kun-hee may have vented his anger. When he thought that it was Jester's speech just now, he bent down to Jester with an apology and said sincerely: "Mr. Lee. I made you laugh just now. I really didn't expect that there would be such a rice insect in our Samsung!"
Jester quickly said that any company has a corpse position, so this is not surprising.
Afterwards, after Lee Kun-hee's repeated begging, he still asked Jester to continue speaking, and Jester nodded and continued to say the previous words.
In fact, in Jester's opinion, this was just a sign of Lee Kun-hee's authority. He wanted to perform a major operation on Samsung America, and what should he do if he didn't kill the chicken to warn the monkey first, and Director Zheng was just that chicken.
"The United States is the largest market in the world. Its success or failure determines our life and death. Our current situation is that products are not popular in the market. Samsung's products are sold at low prices in discount stores, while high-end department stores and shopping malls in New York, the United States do not sell Samsung's products at all. If this continues, will Samsung survive in the 21st century? The main problem now is not how to operate, but that the company is at a critical moment of life and death."
Jester said very sincerely, and what he said was also what Lee Kun-hee said. Neither Lee Kun-hee nor Jester wanted Jester to be able to limit his influence to South Korea. Their goal was the same, that is, to spread Samsung's influence to the entire world.
And immediately, Lee Kun-hee quickly took over Jester's words.
"Our products are still very different from those of advanced countries, so we must abandon the idea of being second-rate. If we don't actively strive for the world's first place, we will definitely not have a way out in the future. Some people may think that Samsung is one of the best in the domestic market, but if we are satisfied and think that it is the best company, it is intolerable, because lagging behind the world's level means that the past ten years have been in vain. In the next two or three years, it will be the last chance for us to become a first-class country and a first-class group. This is the reason why I was angry and decided to fight against the enemy."
"Only the first can survive."
After saying that, Lee Kun-hee bowed deeply to everyone present, whether it was the senior executives of the group he called out, or the senior executives of Samsung America. This action confirmed Jester's confirmation of Lee Kun-hee's actions just now.
This is actually a very simple technique of power struggle. When you need to do something big, and when you know that you may offend many vested interests, you need to be kind and powerful. Just use it, then you will be ignorant of the world and only know how to exert your power, and you will be afraid and unable to convince yourself.
After first killing the chicken to scare the monkey, he immediately made a passionate statement, relying on the bright future prospects to mobilize the passion of everyone present, and then, the real way about how he will change in Samsung Electronics, especially Samsung America Electronics.
Seeing the others bent down as Lee Kun-hee bent down immediately, Jester knew that Lee Kun-hee's goal was to achieve it.
His role is just to attract the person who has established his authority.
Jester smiled. He didn't expect that Lee Kun-hee would be so simple. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
ps: The speech about Lee Kun-hee's 1,000 US dollars per person and the only first can survive is true, but it was in 19923, and it happened when Lee Kun-hee went to the United States to visit a shopping mall.
