Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 630 Inhuman (two in one)

The next day.

BOE and Panasonic did not hold talks. According to the latter, Yoichi Morishita, the head of the company, needs to listen to the contacts made during this period of time, and needs to make a more realistic assessment and judgment. Therefore, the time is set for the next day.

However, Fang Zhuo estimated that Panasonic, which is "technology first", might still want to put on a posture. This is exactly what it wants, and it will allow BOE and the LCD Alliance to exchange cooperation ideas in full swing.

However, this free day was not idle, and the team from Luzhou Investment Promotion Bureau went to Beijing.

Fang Zhuo also received a personal call from the provincial leaders, talking about BOE's production line project.

Speaking of this project, the leaders of Anhui Province and Luzhou were also confused and confused. At first, BOE came to talk about the 5th generation line of LCD, and then Sharp came to talk about the same 5th generation line. , BOE left, and then the Sharp team also ran to the capital.

After a period of time, BOE's project became a plasma PDP production line in the news, and there was a joint inspection by the big leaders and Mr. Fang and others in the news.

So, this Sharp is hopeless, right?Is BOE sure about the plasma production line?
No matter what, Luzhou still wants to sell the pot and sell the iron to win a big project, which is why the investment promotion team came to Beijing this time.

But there is also a problem. If Luzhou wants to sell pot and iron, it really can't spend money. For this reason, it went to the provincial government for support.

However, the province is also very tight and can't allocate funds temporarily, so they gritted their teeth and gritted their teeth. Other places still need money. Leaders in other fields are full of opinions after being communicated with the budget. Luzhou has already made a big project. And draw blood to keep people alive?

In the end, with mutual understanding, the big leaders made a decision, the project was to be launched, and other methods were found for the money.

As for the method, the big leader said a word in the small meeting, first find Mr. Fang for turnover.

Can the richest man in the country have no money?

It's a bit ugly to say that the city borrows money, and it is a normal business process to set up a joint venture company for financing.

Fang Zhuo was shocked when he received a call of this nature. He knew that Luzhou was not rich. Last year's fiscal revenue was less than 50 billion, but no matter how tight the province is, can it still be made up?
In any case, the big leader spoke in person. He obviously didn't know that the richest man in the country also had difficulties, but in other words, he didn't expect him to say such a thing at all, and he obviously didn't know that his position was not easy. .

Fang Zhuo still agreed. The money is not used in a hurry for a month or two. Firstly, BOE does not know where it will land, and secondly, the construction of the production line does not need to be credited immediately.

Just when he was thinking about where to turn over a sum of money, Li Jitai called.

Make an appointment for a drink at night?

A small bar for two?

What kind of madness is this?

Didn't your prince say he was sick?
No appointment, no appointment.

Fang Zhuo declined the invitation, saying that he still needs to communicate with Panasonic, and there is no extra time today.

So... Lee Ki-tae could only change his damn plane ticket to go back to Seoul late at night the next day.

On the second day, Fang Zhuo introduced the investment promotion team from his hometown to the head of BOE, and then called Stringer, the head of Sony, to chat about what happened in China.

Although Stringer has witnessed a lot from a distance, the actions such as Matsushita Hua and Plasma’s free patents narrated by Fang Zhuo himself can still have new influence.

The current LCD Alliance is negotiating with BOE. However, the negotiation does not represent much progress, and it still needs to continue to push towards the goal.

After completing the communication with Stringer, he met with Panasonic's team during the day, and that night, Fang Zhuo met the president of Samsung Electronics at Lee Ki Tae-ding's restaurant.

He was a little puzzled as to what this guy was looking for him for, especially when it was obviously a private wine affair.

The restaurant is not high end, but very distinctive.

It was very quiet in the box.

Two jugs of wine are warming on Table Mountain.

I have to say that Fang Zhuo had never drank like this before, and it looked quite fresh.

He watched Li Kitai pouring wine for himself with a sense of ritual, nodded with a smile, and politely refused: "Don't drink when driving, don't drive when drinking, I drove here by myself today, so I won't drink."

Li Jitai's hand holding the wine glass froze.

Li Jae-yong, who was listening to the president's phone call at the hotel as promised, almost couldn't help laughing out loud, heck, the old man's little trick has failed since yesterday, so is there a problem with today's development?

"Boss Fang, just have a drink or two, it's okay." Li Jitai said in English.

"This is a matter of principle." Fang Zhuo waved his hand and replied in English, "I heard that the president is ill, why did you ask me out all of a sudden?"

Li Jitai originally wanted to cook wine with green plums, but the situation changed. He could only drink at his own discretion, and said directly: "There is indeed something wrong with my body, and I went to the airport, but I came back. I am mainly worried about Samsung's project. However, I will Considering my health, the director has handed over this place to Lee Jae-yong."

He rounded up the prince's previous fib.

Fang Zhuo nodded with a smile that was not a smile: "Thank you, President Li."

Li Jitai drank two glasses of wine and sighed: "I heard from Jae-yong that Samsung and BOE have already started contacting. Mr. Fang, I feel very complicated."

He said sincerely: "If I were in charge, BOE would never get the technical authorization so easily."

Fang Zhuo kindly reminded: "I haven't got it yet, Mr. Li, the result is not certain, we are also investigating Panasonic's plasma technology."

Li Jitai put down his glass, stared into the eyes of the young CEO, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, this is a private drink. What do you mean by saying that? Do you think I don't know that you use Panasonic as a bargaining chip?"

Fang Zhuo was speechless.

"When I was in Silicon Valley, I knew who you were always." Ki-tae Lee laughed, "You wanted to join forces with Google from the very beginning, right?"

Fang Zhuo shrugged: "Why did you say that?"

Li Jitai pointed at himself, without making a long speech: "Mr. Fang, intuition, rely on my intuition of Li Jitai over the past few decades."

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, but he didn't try to refute what was a foregone conclusion.

"Android first, then LCD, Mr. Fang, I have heard of your name as the richest man in China before, but in your Chinese words, meeting is worse than being famous." Li Jitai admired, "If possible, I really hope you can come We are Samsung."

Fang Zhuo took a sip of tea and asked, "Can you make the decision?"

Li Jitai shook his head, and said slowly: "Not to mention inviting Mr. Fang, I can't even make decisions for myself, and I was almost sent back to the country with illness."

At this moment, the president opened up the completed little lie again.

Fang Zhuo looked at the self-deprecating appearance of the president, and laughed twice.

Li Jitai drank the wine in the glass, and laughed out loud with true feelings.

The atmosphere in the box became less aloof and indifferent.

Li Jitai put the empty wine glass on the table coolly: "Since Mr. Fang doesn't drink, then what's the point of me being alone, let's drink tea. To be honest, I admire you very much."

"Because of Android and LCD?" Fang Zhuo laughed.

"No, this is a small part." Li Jitai said seriously, "I have always had the habit of studying my opponents, Mr. Fang, I have specifically read your business resume, and I have also read a lot of your speeches and interviews."

Fang Zhuo was not surprised: "It's my honor."

"I especially appreciate what Mr. Fang said, solving difficulties and creating value." Li Jitai stroked his palm, "Mr. Fang has a kind of courage and wisdom to face difficulties, which I have not seen in many business leaders."

He continued: "To put it bluntly, I am 57 this year and have met many, many business talents, but even so, Mr. Fang is still a leader-like figure that I have rarely seen."

Fang Zhuo still smiled, and said lightly: "President Li is ridiculous."

Li Jitai waited for two seconds. Seeing that Mr. Fang had no intention of continuing, he leaned his upper body forward and said leisurely and fascinated: "We have a poem in Korea. After reading Mr. Fang's experience, I suddenly remembered it."

"Today, when I am about to retire and return to Seoul, I finally have the opportunity to talk to Mr. Fang."

Fang Zhuo raised his eyebrows and waited for the next sentence.

Li Jitai took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This is also the only purpose of my coming to see Mr. Fang today."

Fang Zhuo wanted to laugh, but held back out of politeness, he could send a text message with just a poem.

Li Jitai played with the teacup in his hand, and slowly and seriously read out a Korean poem:

"Climbing to the top of a winter mountain I look far, and the tallest things are in the coldest places, shining like ice."

"If my soul dreams of a castle in the sky, I miss the corner of the sky where the gods live."

"Just like the highest spirit always yearns for the coldest place, the things flowing below are not frozen, but have chosen to be silent since then."

Fang Zhuo listened while drinking tea. It was the first time he heard Korean poetry, and it was okay.

Li Jitai got up to pour tea for Mr. Fang himself, and praised: "Mr. Fang, this is for you. The highest spirit always yearns for the coldest place."

The president and president of Samsung Electronics is well-known not only in the world, but also in Asia.

It's bowing down again, warming wine and tea, and sending poems to praise.

Taking advantage of BOE's completion of a double spring and a breakthrough in contact with the LCD Alliance, Li Jitai tried to use his forced retirement to create a kind of sympathy.

He knew that Chinese people often pay attention to a style of "Confucian businessmen", so tonight is to match their preferences.

Also see if there is any human complacency.

Even if it is just a sentence, it can be regarded as stabbing the three-star prince, adding waves to this negotiation, and then having the opportunity to return to the country to meet the chairman.

Young successors are always stubborn despite the persuasion of their predecessors. It is better to hear the danger of their opponents with their own ears.

It's not that there is no chance of turning this situation around, how Samsung can be decided by the chairman.

Fang Zhuo chewed for a while, "The highest spirit always yearns for the coldest place." He nodded and said, "That's a good sentence."

Lee Kitae said seriously, "This is my favorite poem."

He added: "Not only do I admire Mr. Fang's spirit, but I am also dumbfounded when I hear Mr. Fang's operation, and I feel inferior."

"Actually, whether it's Panasonic or Sony, I'm not surprised. Only when I heard that Changhong disclosed all the plasma patents, I was really convinced."

"With such courage, he deserves to be the richest man in China, and he deserves to be the person with the highest spirit."

Li Jitai admired this from the bottom of his heart, he really appreciated Fang Zhuo's move.

He inadvertently paused, and continued: "Anyone else, I am afraid that Changhong will not be able to persuade Changhong to obtain cooperation with us at the price of patents. Indeed, you have succeeded, and we cannot take the risk of developing plasma technology. "

"Mr. Fang, you are almost the most talented business operator I have ever seen!"

"Successfully through the competition between plasma and liquid crystal, BOE is on the road to cooperate with us!"

Fang Zhuo saw that the president of Samsung Electronics was getting more and more excited, and he was really worried that there was something wrong with his body. Don't get sick because of emotional agitation in this place.

He cools down the other party: "President Li, President Li, don't worry, we haven't reached a cooperation with Samsung yet, in fact, we are closer to cooperation with Panasonic."

Li Jitai said displeasedly: "President Fang, you are saying such meaningless things now."

"Why is it boring?" Fang Zhuo said innocently, "Plasma technology has better performance. This is a very important consideration. Any project cooperation has to be weighed repeatedly. BOE needs to fully evaluate the cooperation with you or Panasonic."

Li Jitai's heart sank, and this Fang Zhuo would not let go of his mouth, and he would never let go.

Fang Zhuo observed the expression of the old president, and was relieved to find that he was not so excited.

He said: "President Li, regarding cooperation, I appreciate what your vice president Jay Y. Lee said. You want to bring low-priced and high-quality products to consumers. I think this spirit will create excellent prospects."

"If Lee Jae-yong can stick to this idea, I am willing to donate the poems given to me by the president."

"The highest spirit always yearns for the coldest place."

Fang Zhuo tasted it after he finished reading it himself. This sentence is really good, a good poem, a good poem.

Li Jitai was thinking about it, changed his strategy in an instant, his face sank, and he said angrily: "Mr. Fang, how can you deceive me like this? This poem is my highest respect for you!"

It was as strong as the sudden anger when facing Prince Li Zayong the day before yesterday!
However, Fang Zhuo was unmoved at all, and instead had some doubts. The old president wouldn't want to physically eliminate his competitors, would he?Can you still prepare swords and axes when you come to the boundary of the capital?

Li Jitai was still talking angrily, such as "respect", "contempt", "poetry sending etiquette", "57-year-old old man" and so on.

Fang Zhuo waited for him to get tired of anger, and politely got up to refill him with tea, hoping that he would talk about it again so that he could see what was going on.

Li Jitai stopped and looked at Boss Fang silently. Why can't this person empathize with him?What about the sympathy you Chinese people often say?

"Just now the president said that he wants to retire? Since you are unwilling, you can consider coming to us after retirement." Seeing that the old president stopped talking, Fang Zhuo invited with a smile, "We, Yi Ke, are just waiting."

Lee Kitae said sadly, "I will always be proud of Samsung, even after retirement."

Fang Zhuo just mentioned this, the old president is in a daze today, maybe there is something bad in his belly.

He took a last sip of tea: "I drank the president's tea and accepted the poem. No matter what your identity is in the future, welcome to Yike as a guest."

Li Jitai looked at Boss Fang in a daze, and said sadly: "My body knows it. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see Boss Fang again when I go back this time."

Fang Zhuo was surprised, is he really sick?

He persuaded: "President, don't be pessimistic, modern medicine is quite advanced."

Li Jitai shook his head dejectedly: "Life is a matter of life and death, at my age, I can take it all away."

He said regretfully: "It's a pity that I won't be able to fight against Mr. Fang in the future. The first time I missed on Android, and the second time Mr. Fang used Panasonic to achieve the purpose of introducing LCD. Both times failed, I am still a little unwilling. "

Fang Zhuo did not forget to correct him: "President, this second time is not a failure. We haven't decided whether to cooperate with Panasonic or Samsung."

Li Jitai patted the table lightly with his hand: "A person who is about to die speaks kindly, Mr. Fang, you have fooled Panasonic this time. It has a strong influence in Japan's political and business circles. I am afraid that in the future, we must pay attention to the popularity of our products. Business strategies for the Japanese market.”

Fang Zhuo said calmly: "We are going to cooperate with Panasonic, how could there be such a problem?"

Twice and three times, three times and two times, those who look up, angry, pitiful, and sad, it's him who doesn't tell the truth.

Li Jitai poured another glass of wine, but he was already helpless.

"President, take care of yourself." Fang Zhuo got up to leave.

Li Jitai waved his hand, and didn't even bother to say anything.

Fang Zhuo forgave the impoliteness of the dying man, turned and left the box.

He sat in the car, thinking about one thing, since Lao Li is almost gone, he should study more about the three-star prince, I don't know if he likes poetry or not.

In the quiet box, Lee Jae-yong's voice emerges from the phone, asking ironically about the effect of the trick:
"President, how is it? Is there any weakness of human nature and human nature?"

After a long time, Li Jitai sighed:
"Boss Fang, you are not human."

Li Zairong smiled silently, still stubbornly insisting on his point of view, the president is really old, but what he said about retirement...
