Chapter 2379: Can’t Relax
The night outside the window gradually quieted down. Feng Yiping sat on the table by the window and wrote another email. The main content of this email was for Samsung, which was still downstairs at this time.
"... During the cooperation process, relevant agreements must be strictly observed," he emphasized this sentence again.
He believed that the relevant personnel would understand what he meant.
Whether it was Motorola or HTC before, there is no doubt that they would have their own plans for cooperation with Android, but Samsung was the first mobile phone company to emphasize its own benefits when it first started to discuss cooperation.
This can certainly be said that they are a company that puts all problems on the table. Even if Motorola and HTC do not make demands now, they will also make demands in the future.
But this undoubtedly shows that they are a company that cares very much about their own interests, or even only cares about their own interests.
In the business field, profit is naturally the first priority, which everyone can understand. Android is open source to the market for free, and Feng Yiping and others do not expect those mobile phone companies to be grateful for it.
But at least, when you haven't done anything yet, you complain that your income in the future cooperation is too little. Such a partner will definitely not be a partner that will make you feel at ease.
You must be extra careful in the process of cooperation with them.
After clicking the send button, he picked up the red wine on the side, took a sip, lowered his head and looked down. He just saw a car driving downstairs. He looked at his watch. Is it here now?
A few minutes later, Jin Ling just opened the door and saw Feng Yiping standing behind it. She immediately took a step back, put one hand on her chest, and let out a long sigh, "You scared me to death,"
"We're here," Feng Yiping took her bag, "Don't take such a late flight in the future,"
"What does it matter," Jin Ling took the blue suit collar windbreaker in her hand, and carefully combed her hair, and quickly followed Feng Yiping, "The level and achievements of domestic flights in safety management are obvious to all,"
"Then try to take less," Feng Yiping said, "Are you hungry?"
Jin Ling looked at Feng Yiping standing there and rolled her eyes, "Why, do you want me to gain weight?"
"No, I want..." Feng Yiping wanted to joke and said that some exercises would consume a lot of physical energy, but he felt a little speechless.
Jin Ling also felt that Feng Yiping had been abroad for such a long time and came back, and he seemed to be a little unfamiliar with him.
It's strange to say, before the last wall was broken, no matter how long they met, they were always familiar with each other, either teasing or praising each other, but they did everything they should do. Now that the time has been long, they seem a little strange when they meet suddenly.
Why is this? She didn't understand it for a while, but she knew that as long as one party took the initiative, this little gap would soon disappear.
If it happens a few more times, this situation will never happen again.
She crossed her hands, raised them above her head, and stretched - this kind of stretching is actually one of the best ways for women to show their figure and charm.
"Oh, you're drinking when you're alone now?" She took Feng Yiping's glass of wine from the table, swirled it, and took a sip. "The wine is good, but how long have you kept it here?"
"I don't know, maybe three or four hours," Feng Yiping said. "I felt like drinking when I sat down, but after I poured it, I didn't drink much."
"Don't drink if you can," Jin Ling put the wine aside. "What are you writing? Oh, and you sent it to me,"
She went to the sofa, took out her computer, and looked at it for a while. "I don't quite understand why you seem to be particularly wary of Samsung?"
"If you read more information about Samsung, you will definitely be like me," Feng Yiping sat down next to her.
"I don't have time to read the information on this aspect, but it sounds like there is a lot of story. I want to listen to it now," she supported her head with her hands and looked at Feng Yiping with a smile.
"It's just the things of the rich. You can guess it. Haven't you seen enough on TV?" Feng Yiping said.
"Tell me about it. I just want to hear you talk about it," Jin Ling touched him with her foot.
"Then I'll put it simply," Feng Yiping sorted out, "The founder of Samsung has three sons and five daughters. Originally, he wanted to follow tradition and let his eldest son take over, so in 1966, he announced that he would temporarily step down and hand over the management rights to his eldest son,"
"But the eldest brother wanted to solve the problem once and for all, so not long after taking office, he wrote a letter to the president, reporting his father's smuggling of saccharin, tax evasion and foreign exchange evasion, and wanted to officially take office in advance,"
"This is a tyrant," Jin Ling commented.
"Although I don't know much, many such tyrants may be forced out," Feng Yiping said.
Just like those rebellious platforms in history, if the position is stable, who would be willing to do that.
The eldest brother of the Li family actually did this for a reason. After he took office, he was a little anxious in many aspects, set high goals for the company, and carried out a major reorganization at the same time. As a result, the company was messed up. Not only did he lose prestige in the minds of employees, but more importantly, it should have disappointed his father.
"Then, the second son, who was in charge of the trade department and had excellent performance, took the blame for his father and went to prison for six months,"
"There doesn't seem to be such a plot in the TV series," Jin Ling said immediately.
There is no such plot in the TV series, but there is in history. He took the punishment for his father just to get his father's respect.
"The second brother went to jail, and the eldest brother who did such a thing naturally could not be the successor. So, the third brother, who is now the president, took over the burden of the family business."
Jin Ling was originally listening to the story, but now he is a little involved in it. "So in the meantime, will the lucky third brother do anything?"
"What do you think?" Feng Yiping asked back.
The eldest brother is so bold, and the second brother is so powerful, but he just got the advantage. If he has nothing to do with it, it would be a miracle.
"Then, the second son was released from prison. You can imagine how unhappy he would be when he saw that the third son had established himself,"
Jin Ling nodded, "Yes, and he also spent half a year in prison for the old man,"
"A few years later, when he found that all his efforts still could not shake the third son's position, and the old man did not stand on his side, he was furious and chose a method similar to that of the eldest brother, collecting his father's illegal acts, writing a petition, and submitting it to the president,"
"But how could Mr. Li, who founded Samsung, fall in the same place twice? Not only did he not get hurt, but he also imprisoned his second son, so the second son was also called the 'reclusive crown prince',"
"After that, they wanted to send the eldest son to a mental hospital on the pretext that he had paranoia. The eldest son fought desperately and finally avoided the fate of ending up in a mental hospital. He fled abroad, oh, right here in our country, yes, right in the capital, and settled down,"
"... In this way, the third son, as the only remaining trustworthy son, naturally became the heir,"
"Wow," Jin Ling applauded, "I haven't seen such a wonderful TV series, at least, you can't write such a story,"
Feng Yiping nodded, "I can't write it,"
"But Mr. Feng, you may be writing a story that may be more wonderful than this," Jin Ling touched him with his foot again.
"How is it possible," Feng Yiping shook his head immediately.
But he thought of Amanda, Vincent, and the team of brothers and sisters that Vincent and Amanda will definitely continue to grow in the future. Is it really impossible?
He threw these thoughts aside, "So, how can we not be vigilant when cooperating with a company led by such a person?"
"It makes sense," Jin Ling nodded.
You really have to be careful when cooperating with such a guy who doesn't care about human relations and family affection.
"Another reason is that I speculate that Samsung will definitely perform well in the smartphone market in the future,"
"First of all, from the perspective of shareholding structure, Samsung Electronics can be said to be a company dominated by American capital, so in the European and American markets, except for the competition from those mobile phone companies in Europe and the United States, they will not be subject to any other constraints, especially policy constraints,"
"Secondly, Samsung has been involved in many aspects of the smartphone field. Look at their advantages in panels and their achievements in chips,"
"This gives it a greater advantage than other mobile phone manufacturers,"
"From the performance of Samsung in the era of feature phones, it is also outstanding, right? Some of Samsung's mobile phones were popular with many people at that time,"
Jin Ling nodded, "Yes, especially its exquisite color screen mobile phones,"
"So you think Samsung will definitely achieve very good results in the smartphone field in the future?"
"That's for sure," Feng Yiping said.
He was a little emotional at this time. It turned out that he was in a different position. He used to be a little confused about why Samsung once surpassed Apple and became the leader in smartphone shipments. It turned out that as long as he understood it, he could have such a rough prediction at the beginning.
Then, he said "Oh".
"What's wrong?" Jin Ling asked hurriedly.
"Nothing," Feng Yiping said, "So we can foresee that Samsung, which occupies most of the smartphone market share in the future, will definitely talk to us about the division of profits many times,"
"If we talk to it and give in at the beginning, then there will be no room for concessions in the future,"
He said "Oh" because he just figured out a truth. Later, the reason why Google spent more than 10 billion US dollars to acquire Motorola, another giant in the mobile phone field, was probably because Samsung had the posture of bullying the store, so it was necessary to acquire Motorola's mobile phone production department and accept the huge amount of patents accumulated by Motorola, thereby restricting Samsung.
Of course, there is no need to take this path. Just contact domestic manufacturers.
But domestic manufacturers, to be honest, are not easy to deal with, and in the European and American markets, domestic mobile phone manufacturers really do not have the advantages that Samsung has, especially in terms of policies.
So, does that mean that he will also acquire Motorola in the future? Are there any other ways to crack it?
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Jin Ling touched him.
"Nothing," Feng Yiping looked at Jin Ling, who had already nestled in his arms without knowing when.
The previous sense of strangeness naturally disappeared.
"Why do I feel that it will be more natural for the two of us to talk about work?" He smiled.
He probably figured it out. The gap they both felt when Jin Ling first arrived was probably because they were both holding back, worried that what they said would upset the other. After all, given Feng Yiping's current situation, especially in his personal life, Lei said a lot.
Both of them were cautious with each other and didn't dare to speak, so they felt that way. But when it came to work, they said whatever they thought of, so naturally there wouldn't be such a gap.
"It's good, I like this way," Jin Ling said, "but sometimes, you have to be fully committed, do you hear me?" She touched Feng Yiping's face.
"It depends on what attracts me more," Feng Yiping said with a grin.
But in his heart, he was still thinking about what Jin Ling had said just now. Would his child be like that in the future?
His situation was much more complicated than that of the Samsung family.
Think about the family of President Wang of HTC, the Huo family, and the gambling king's family. It seems that it is really not optimistic!
He lowered his head and met Jin Ling's eyes. He took the controller from the coffee table and turned off all the lights. Those things would be a headache later. Now, the person in front of him was more important.
"Ah, it's so dark, what are you doing?"
"Haha, what do you think?"...
