Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1384 The Foundation of Cooperation
Given a choice, Zhou Buqi still prefers to cooperate with this kind of traditional chaebol.

Just like Zheng Zhongchun, at this level, what you are running is not a business, but a relationship, such as the relationship between Hyundai and Ziweixing.

Jin Bunxiu is different. He started from the grassroots, and he has to start from the business.

Here lies the difference between loyalty and cooperative stability.

Cooperating with Hyundai, the power in this industry is in the hands of the Zheng family.But the Zheng family doesn't understand the Internet, so they have to use an agent to manage the company.

That is to say, between Ziweixing and the Zheng family, there is such a lubricant as an agent.Both parties obtain part of their needs from the agent.

Modern times want most of the power and a small amount of benefits, and Ziwei Star wants a small amount of power and most of the benefits, so everyone gets what they need.

It would be different if Kim Bum-soo was trained as a new chaebol.

Ziweixing is about to face Jin Fanxiu directly. He is a Korean. He holds industry power, management, public trust, and business guidance...all aspects of the entire company are under his control.

At that time, once there is friction between the two parties, Ziweixing will have nothing to do with him, and it will be easy to suffer a big loss.For example, Yahoo and Softbank invested in Ali and made a lot of money, but they also suffered losses from Lao Ma.

This would be different if there were a modern group present.

Even if Jin Bunxiu becomes big by then, if he wants to make trouble, he will be suppressed by Hyundai.As long as there is no conflict between Ziweixing and Hyundai Group, a triangular balanced relationship can be maintained.

The higher the level, the more like foreign capital; the lower the level, the more resistant to foreign capital.

Jin Fanxiu's level is slightly lower, and he may have a hostile relationship with Ziweixing.The Hyundai Group is different. If they cooperate, the Zheng family will definitely do everything possible to maintain the cooperation with Ziweixing.

South Korea's per capita income is at the level of developed countries, but it has not been certified as a developed country by the United Nations. One of the important reasons is that it is not open enough. This is a semi-open market economy.

Just like Hyundai Group.

The Zheng family is already wealthy, and their wealth cannot be spent in a few lifetimes. The goal they pursue is to spend their lives.Don't worry about some disturbances, the wealth is gone.

If it is a company wholly owned by the family, once it is bullied and has an accident, the whole family will be blamed, and the end will be miserable; if it is a joint-stock company with a complicated shareholder structure, the probability of accidents is very small. If the company has an accident, all shareholders will suffer. It is not so powerful to convince all shareholders; if a large proportion of the shareholding structure is foreign capital, it will be safer.Once encountering unfair treatment, foreign capital can sue the United Nations or the WTO, use diplomatic channels to exert pressure and shape international public opinion.

The larger the enterprise, the greater the significance of foreign investment.

Even for a small company like S/M Entertainment, apart from some domestic chaebol investment institutions, the largest institutional shareholder is Ai Hui from Japan.

The same goes for big chaebols including Samsung, LG, SK, etc. They must actively attract foreign investment and give up most of their benefits.The benefits given up can save lives at critical moments.

For Hyundai Group, whether it is American capital, European capital, Japanese capital, or Chinese capital, these are all foreign capital, and they are all international forces that can be borrowed.

This is much more important than making money, it is related to the continuation of the family.

One way is to earn 100 yuan, but there is a risk of confiscation of the house.One way is to earn 10 yuan, but you can enjoy the income safely and securely.The big households who choose the first path are either doomed or on the way to doom.If you choose the second path, at most you will be scolded by public opinion.

Seeing that Zhou Buqi was young, Zheng Zhongchun wanted to explain the truth to him carefully.

The more clearly this principle is explained, the more solid the foundation for cooperation between the two parties will be.

Little did he know that Zhou Buqi had established such a large industry in China, and he had seen through the social phenomenon long ago, and said with a smile: "Foreign capital is the dividing line, whether it is suppression or encouragement, it is the wind vane, you don't need to say it. I am advancing a plan. , Ziwei Star will be split up."

Zheng Zhongchun was slightly taken aback, "Split?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It is to split the domestic business from the overseas business."

"Oh..." Zheng Zhongchun was silent for a while, and then he laughed, "Mr. Zhou's age has caused misunderstandings. I was too worried. If this is the case, then it's easy to talk about. If you have any conditions, you can just mention them."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Before raising conditions, I think I can popularize the Internet for Mr. Zheng."

"Ok?"

Zheng Zhongchun was slightly taken aback.

Although he is not an Internet major, he is also a graduate of a prestigious school. He has been in charge of the Hyundai Group for several years, and his career as an executive has lasted for more than ten years. Does it take you to popularize it?

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "Mr. Zheng, the current Internet is only in the early stage, no, it is only in the embryonic stage. When the Internet develops, it will replace all media such as TV, radio, newspapers, and magazines, and become the largest media platform."

Zheng Zhongchun smiled, "I also think there is such a trend, so Hyundai Group attaches great importance to the development of the Internet industry. This is the investment direction we attach the most importance to at the moment."

Zhou Buqi continued to brag, saying: "Ten years later, the combined influence of all traditional media such as TV stations, newspapers, and magazines in South Korea may be less than one tenth of that of the Internet."

"Ok?"

Zheng Zhongchun's face suddenly became serious.

The media is the most important link to influence the wisdom of the people, especially in a democratically elected system like South Korea, where the guidance of public opinion may influence the outcome of the general election.

If the Internet of the future really has such an effect, it will be really important to Hyundai Group.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "So I'm still hesitating between Samsung and Hyundai. I'm sorry, but when it comes to business, I'm a straightforward person."

"Of course, of course."

Zheng Zhongchun attached great importance to this matter, otherwise he would not have come forward in person.However, after hearing what the other party said, he paid more attention to it.

Then, he focused on talking about the Zheng family.

A few years ago, the Zheng family split.

As a result, Samsung surpassed Hyundai and became the largest chaebol in South Korea.

However, the family does not have two surnames.

After the split, the division of interests ended, and the relationship like sworn enemies began to ease slowly, and the Zheng family resumed contact.In any case, they are all of the same blood, the same family.Or the relationship is stronger and stronger when we are in a group.

The Zheng family in a group will still be stronger than Samsung.

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Zhou is very interested in football."

"Yes, I bought Manchester United."

"Coincidentally, our whole family has been fans for decades." Zheng Zhongchun was very happy and found a common language.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "I know that there are several teams in the Korean K-League that are title sponsors of Hyundai."

Zheng Zhongchun waved his hands, disapprovingly, "That's nothing, the biggest achievement of my family is the World Cup in Korea and Japan in 02."

"what?"

"In that World Cup, the South Korean team was the final semi-finalist, but it was a pity that they lost to Germany in the semi-finals. If Beckenbauer hadn't played tricks before the game and replaced the referee in an emergency operation, the South Korean team might even break into the World Cup. finals."

Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide, "Is this your family working behind the scenes?"

Zheng Zhongchun laughed, very complacent and proud, "That's right, it's my sixth uncle, we have a very good relationship."

Zhou Buqi almost spat at him.

Shameless!

Shameless!

But if you think about it in another way, it seems to be understandable.

Relying on their strong strength, the Zheng family managed a World Cup in FIFA, and finally sent the weak team South Korea to the semi-finals of the World Cup... This is indeed a very dazzling achievement.

From the perspective of other countries, this is brazen; from the perspective of South Korea, this is a national hero.

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows and became happy, "Your family has a strong influence on FIFA?"

Zheng Zhongchun asked: "The semi-finals of the World Cup, isn't that enough proof?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Ziweixing has established a sports digital media company based in the UK. Its main business is some digital football business. It may need the promotion of FIFA."

Zheng Zhongchun said bluntly: "Hyundai is looking forward to further cooperation with Ziwei Star."

Zhou Buqi continued to raise conditions, and then talked about possible future cooperation in the entertainment industry and the mobile phone industry.Even the automobile industry and the aircraft industry, if possible.

Zheng Zhongchun was stunned, "Airplane?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "To be precise, it is a drone, a civilian drone."

"Oh?"

Zheng Zhongchun obviously doesn't know much about this field.

Zhou Buqi said: "The UAV has several technical problems that cannot be solved, mainly the heat transfer of the engine and shell materials. When the engine rotates, a large amount of heat will be released, so materials with high heat transfer properties are needed to quickly Cooling. It’s about how long the drone can fly.”

"Oh, easy to say! Simple!"

Zheng Zhongchun understood as soon as he heard it. His family's main business in the past was modern chemistry.After Hyundai Group spun off Hyundai Motor, its main industries are Hyundai Chemistry and Hyundai Electronics.

Cooperation must be mutually beneficial and win-win.

There is money to be made on both sides.

The domestic stuck neck problem is not serious to the public's knowledge, such as chips, bearings, operating systems, and industrial software.What is more serious is not known, such as biopharmaceuticals, polymer materials and other fields, these are the hardest bones to crack, and it is almost not even a start.

It is more difficult to make a mobile phone than a computer, and it is more difficult to make a drone than a mobile phone.But it is a bit exaggerated to say that drones are hard-core technology. Whether it is a mobile phone, a computer, a car, or a drone, they are actually assembly machines.

Scientific research in the field of chemical materials is not too far away from Zhou Qiqi, and the power of one person is too limited.If the industry does not progress, it can only find foreign aid.

Hyundai is an international giant, with three or four of the world's top 500 companies under its umbrella, and its strength is very strong.

Take advantage of this opportunity to establish more layers of cooperation.

Zhou Buqi was very happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, then call them out and talk about the details."
