Chapter 2852 Thoughtful Arrangements

Cui Zhicheng was not wrong. Chairman Li, who made this decision, really had no idea about the result of letting Samsung Mobile Phones compete with Feng Yiping.

In almost all reports on Feng Yiping, Feng Yiping's excellent and accurate vision is mentioned. I believe that many people do not care about such almost standard words, but for a helmsman like him, such words that many people are accustomed to have different weight.

He also believes that the ability described by such words is a mountain that many business leaders like him will never climb over.

Deciding to compete with such a person is really not easy for a strong man like him.

When Feng Yiping decided to make Android free and open source, did he think that some manufacturers might want to develop an operating system by themselves?

Of course, he did, otherwise he would not have personally traveled around the world and won over so many heavyweight members for the Open Mobile Alliance.

That was certainly for Android, but in fact it blocked the way out for possible competitors, because those members of the Open Mobile Alliance would no longer be able to cheer for another new product that has not yet been tested by the market.

Moreover, when Android has already succeeded, how can it be so easy to develop an operating system that can compete with Android?

Even Microsoft dare not say such a big word.

He believes that his Samsung will eventually succeed, but the cost, well, he is too lazy to think about it at this time, because it will definitely be a number that will give him a headache...

Since Feng Yiping has already prepared for the possibility that a company will develop such a system, how will he react when he finds out that it is a mobile phone company that used to use the Android system for free?

If Chairman Li knew Choi Ji-sung's speculation, he would definitely say that he was not worrying too much, and he fully believed that Feng Yiping would definitely do such a thing.

Feng Yiping, Feng Yiping who always smiles very sunny, hum, he knows that he is definitely not a guy as sunny as his appearance. Let's not talk about the distant past, just think about the current situation of Masayoshi Son who took over Yahoo at a high price.

The reason why Masayoshi Son spent such a high price to take over Yahoo is that some fatal flaws in his character are one factor, but to be honest, isn't Masayoshi Son forced?

Chairman Lee analyzed afterwards that the reason why Masayoshi Son was so desperate to take over Yahoo was that he had no choice. He wanted to ensure that his foundation, that is, his position and interests in the Japanese market, would not be pried and occupied by Feng Yiping.

Therefore, it can be said that Masayoshi Son was forced into the pit of Yahoo step by step by Feng Yiping.

Chairman Lee probably understood the disputes between Masayoshi Son and Feng Yiping, but he did not think that Feng Yiping's approach was excessive. Frankly speaking, for people like them, if they did not have such means, they would not have reached today's height.

So, what would Feng Yiping do after he knew that his Samsung would confront him?

Chairman Lee was really not at ease.

Through contact with Feng Yiping, he knew that he was indeed a very mature young man. The problem was that he was also a young man with some willfulness. Such people would inevitably be a little bit careless sometimes.

Or simply put, he was careless.

An old master like him was afraid of such people.

Is it possible that when Feng Yiping went to Munich, he had already guessed our possible response, so he had made corresponding preparations?

Chairman Lee forced himself not to think in these negative directions.

Because if he continued to think in that direction, he would feel that he was now like Masayoshi Son who bid for Yahoo, and was forced to make some choices that he didn't want to make.

You have a panel suitable for smartphones, we support it, you developed Android, we also support it, but you suddenly acquired ARM, which made us have some ideas.

And now you are seeking to acquire Qimonda, the previous speculation and anxiety have become a real noose around our necks, you are trying to grasp all our vital points.

No matter how other manufacturers react, Samsung must not accept this fact.

He once again resisted thinking about whether he was walking into the pit step by step, and looked at Quan Wuxuan who was in charge of semiconductors.

Cui Zhicheng sat down at this time, and he saw a smile on Quan Wuxuan's face.

He should smile, because listening to the chairman's words, it is undoubtedly beneficial to the semiconductor department.

Sure enough, the chairman said, "Semiconductor companies should contact Qimonda immediately and tell them clearly that Samsung is very concerned about Qimonda's current situation and is willing to provide all possible help."

Kwon Oh-hyun stood up immediately, "Yes!"

This is exactly what he expects now.

If Qimonda simply goes bankrupt, he would also be very happy to see it, because that means that the entire industry will soon turn around from the current low tide.

But if someone wants to acquire Qimonda, if it is acquired by a peer, his opinion is that they must resolutely compete.

Whether it is Hynix or Elpida, even Micron, or the two factories under Formosa Plastics, it will not work, because it may bring challenges to Samsung's leadership.

It is not impossible for companies outside the industry to acquire, but as long as they are not companies in mainland China.

Mainland China is one of their most important markets, and more importantly, mainland China is one of their main sources of profit.

Because of the huge demand in mainland China, especially because mainland China does not have the ability to produce its own memory chips, this means that mainland China has absolutely no bargaining power in this regard.

The most common thing these chip manufacturers do is to form price alliances to manipulate prices. Even in the US market, they have done this. Recently, in 2006, the US government used price manipulation as an excuse. They were severely fined, totaling $731 million.

Among them, Samsung, which has the highest market share, also received the most penalties.

But compared to their gains, those fines are nothing, and those fines can't stop them from continuing to join forces to manipulate prices.

After all, the United States still has Micron, which gives them some reference. China, although that island has a strong strength in chip production, they are always in the same echelon as themselves in terms of price manipulation and the benefits it brings. He is a very reassuring partner.

Therefore, to put it bluntly, they joined forces to raise the price in the Chinese market, and China would only follow their prices (it was not until 2017 that we first investigated their price manipulation behavior. At that time, the adjustment was very High, it is said that each company may be fined 2.5 billion US dollars, however, there is still no result).

Think about it, if Qimonda is in the hands of a Chinese company, it would be unrealistic for them to manipulate the price in the Chinese market as they did before.

This situation was the last thing he wanted to see.

What's more, the person who wants to acquire Qimonda this time is not another Chinese company, but Feng Yiping.

Because the group has a mobile phone business, Kwon Oh-hyun knows a fact that may not be clear to Hynix, Elpida, and Micron. The demand for memory in smartphones and other smart mobile devices will definitely explode in the future. This is also a piece of fat that he has already identified.

With Feng Yiping's strength, especially his influence in the field of smartphones, if his company also gets involved in this area, it will definitely be Samsung Semiconductor's most powerful competitor.

Therefore, he strongly supports the chairman's opinion and must try to sabotage Feng Yiping's acquisition of Qimonda.

"President Cui, take your people to Munich immediately and leave tonight."

Cui Zhicheng glanced at Quan Wuxuan again, and he saw that Quan Wuxuan's face was not as good-looking as at the beginning.

Haha, you know you have to confront Feng Yiping in person, so you feel unsure!

He guessed correctly again. When he learned that he was going to face Feng Yiping, Quan Wuxuan, who had been happy just now, felt that the pressure suddenly became heavier. I might not be able to deal with him!

But President Li was not negotiating with him, he was giving an order, and he had no choice but to answer again, "Yes."

At this time, he was already thinking about how he would deal with the aftermath if he had not competed with Feng Yiping in Munich... Well, it was not that he was not confident, he was also... cautious, yes, also cautious.

But President Li's arrangements were more than that. He continued to give instructions, "At the same time, contact the Chinese side..."

After hearing the president's arrangements, Cui Zhicheng immediately applauded from the bottom of his heart. President, he is indeed the president! This hand is high, really high!
