Chapter 2201 Don't show off your wealth

It can be seen that Li Zairong is not interested in this set.He was trained as a successor since he was a child, and he was strictly restrained in terms of family education and morality. He was not the typical dude of a wealthy family.

Zhou Buqi also exited appropriately.

Xu Baihui's small matter was settled, and there was Ma Pingshan's matter next, and the group got up and left, heading for the headquarters of Samsung Electronics.

Sun Guanran was left behind with a group of happy fans.

The big boss is gone, you can watch the men's group performance!
On the way, Li Zairong couldn't wait any longer, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, regarding the Rokid cooperation, when do you think we will sign the contract?"

"Oh?" Zhou Buqi put on a slightly surprised look, "Has the decision been made yet?"

Li Zairong complimented: "Rokid is the best AI voice assistant at the moment. How can it take too long to think about getting the authorization of this product?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "How about the number of years?"

Li Zairong asked back, "What do you think?"

Zhou Buqi didn't know how to answer, and said with a smile: "It depends on Samsung's needs."

It is not easy for Samsung to determine the length of the contract.

If it is too long, it may cause the Samsung mobile phone to be bundled with Rokid, and it is impossible to replace it with other AI assistants in the future.

If it is too short, there is also an interest risk.

Who knows at what speed the industry development and technological iteration of artificial intelligence will proceed?

If only for two years.

The risk of being deeply bound is gone, but in case the AI ​​assistant industry does not develop in one or two years, Samsung’s technology in this field is not up to standard, and it cannot develop its own AI voice assistant that meets the requirements. Ziweixing renewed its contract.

At that time, Ziweixing had the absolute initiative.

It is unlikely to be as easy to talk as it is now.

Once the contract is renewed, the price is guaranteed to increase significantly.

Samsung's interests are damaged.

The contract period is too long, and neither is it too short.After the best contract expires, the artificial intelligence industry is booming, and AI voice assistant related products are all over the world.

The Samsung mobile phone can smoothly end the contract with Ziweixing and launch its own AI voice assistant.

Zhou Buqi was at ease, and he was not in a hurry.

This time I came here mainly for the platform of Mapingshan Station.

……

Two days later.

Zhou Buqi is leaving Korea.

It is a rewarding experience.

Not only did Ma Pingshan successfully get the order at a satisfactory price, Zhou Buqi also negotiated a business deal, and Rokid's authorization to Samsung Electronics has reached a preliminary intention.

Not just Samsung phones, but also Samsung tablets.

The contract period is 40 months, and the contract expires at the end of June 2015.

It was also a surprise.

The authorization fee for each machine is $1, and all Android-based Samsung phones and Samsung tablets will be equipped with Rokid's voice assistant.

This year's global smartphone shipments will probably reach 8 million units.

Because of Samsung's mobile phone strategy, it has more low-end and mid-end mobile phones, which can target a wider market and user groups around the world, so its shipments are huge.

This year's sales are expected to reach 1.8-2 million units.

Basically equal to Apple.

In the next few years, smartphones will gradually and completely replace feature phones, and sales will only continue to increase, including Samsung's tablet...

Zhou Buqi had a general estimate.

This order is really likely to bring Ziwei Star $3 billion in revenue in the next three years!

You know, in order to allow its own products to have priority in Samsung's mobile phones, Google has to pay Samsung billions of dollars every year.

Boss Zhou took the shot this time, not to mention promoting Rokid into Samsung's mobile phones, but also asked Samsung to give him money!
It's so beautiful now.

During the past few days in South Korea, Zhou Buqi has been dealing with the Samsung Li family and the Hyundai Zheng family. Two domestic handsome boys.

After boarding the plane back to China, Zhou Buqi asked about it, "How's it going? Have you seen your idol? That Fanfan, Hanhan, it doesn't sound like a man's name."

The one who was most confused was Mai Feixue. Hearing this, he felt a little downcast, "I see."

Gu Zanli next to her also had a forced smile on her face, which was forced out, and her emotions were not very high.

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "What's the matter? Are you not happy to see it?"

Mai Feixue said with a bitter face: "I won't pay attention to it anymore, it's boring."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "What's wrong?"

Mai Feixue said: "These groups are suffering, they are all poor. They have to desperately answer announcements and constantly accept commercial performances, and they are tired every day. But after making money, it is all the company's... how much Is it going to be divided?"

Gu Zanli said softly: "Ninety percent, the company takes 90%, and it belongs to Mr. Xu. That's not counting, the remaining 10% of the income is shared by idols, and they can't get all of them, and they have to deduct the clothing fee , Make-up expenses, training expenses, accommodation expenses, catering expenses, etc., they are so poor that they can't even afford beef."

Zhou Buqi nodded, and said as a matter of course: "It's not surprising. Didn't you go to S/M to see it? It may take 10 groups to be cultivated at the same time, and finally one group can make a smooth debut and get a chance to cash out. To the company In other words, the cost of cultivating these 10 groups needs to be borne by this debut group.”

Mai Feixue muttered, "The company has made all the money."

"What's this called?" Zhou Buqi dismissed it, "You are too irresponsible, you go to see the financial report of S/M company, it doesn't make much money at all, the Korean wave has been so strong in the past year, especially The idol groups of S/M Entertainment are all popular in Asia, and their net profit is less than 2 million US dollars, which is not as good as Jieyu Media's investment in a Hollywood movie."

Mai Feixue sighed: "Anyway, those trainees... In fact, the trainees are better. Every day is training, and there are not so many bad things. It is harder to debut, and life is more difficult. You have to work hard to maintain the status in front of the fans." Image and decency, no wonder they have to be supported, it’s really impossible to live without support.”

"All walks of life have their own complexity. Otherwise, those girls, how about drinking, singing, playing, and sleeping? S/M Entertainment has made a big list for me these days, and there are more than 20 girls for me. offered, I rejected them all.”

Zhou Buqi didn't say much about other things.

With so many years of management experience, he can see at a glance the management model of S/M Entertainment, which is all kinds of wonderful PUA, which firmly locks the artists under the banner.

This is actually a strategy.

Mai Feixue sighed and said, "It's not just girls, boys are the same."

"what?"

Zhou Buqi almost laughed out loud.

It is estimated that Xu Baihui made a move behind the scenes, and the girls around Boss Zhou must kill the momentum of chasing the boy group!If you want to chase, just go after Boss Zhou. There is something wrong with such an excellent man who stands by his side and doesn't worship, but likes those little fresh meats who don't understand shit.

Gu Zanli bit her lip and whispered, "It's true, Maizi and I both saw it! We saw it with our own eyes!"

Zhou Buqi asked, "What did you see?"

Gu Zanli said: "A vice president of Baidu."

"What?" Zhou Buqi was at a loss, "Baidu? Hmm... It seems that I heard that after the failure of the Japanese business, Baidu didn't give up and wanted to develop the Korean market."

Gu Zanli suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right, then this is probably the opportunity to let them get to know each other."

"what?"

"Baidu's vice president, she is a woman, she is over 40 years old this year. Maizi and I saw it, and the vice president's car was parked outside the company. After EXO and the others finished training, my favorite little boy Han Han, she put on her makeup, happily took her bag, got into her car and left."

"Uh……"

Zhou Buqi twitched the corner of his mouth.

Mai Feixue said softly: "Didn't EXO just debut? Everyone has no money, and they still live in the dormitory. Hanhan has been living outside during this time, and has been approved by the company."

Gu Zanli looked up to the sky and sighed, "This is the entertainment industry, I see it through."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "You are too late to realize this, right?"

Gu Zanli said: "I understand it, and I will never care about these things in the future. The entertainment industry is too chaotic."

Mai Feixue shook her head lightly, and said softly: "It's not just in the entertainment industry, I have a college classmate... She was not very good-looking at first, she was an ugly duckling, and she started plastic surgery in her junior year. It changed, she went to a large state-owned enterprise for an internship, and then her lifestyle changed, she kept going to various high-end places, always went shopping in Taikoo Li, bought all kinds of luxury goods, and always showed off her wealth on Weibo."

Gu Zanli blinked.

Biting his lips tightly.

It's really hard to criticize, because I am this kind of person.

Mai Feixue continued: "A few days ago, she even showed off to me, saying that she became the advanced worker of the year in their unit last year, and she will be promoted to the board of directors in the next step."

"Board of Directors?"

Gu Zanli was very surprised, this is very powerful, she doesn't even know where the board of directors of Ziwei Star is located, let alone the board of directors, it is impossible to transfer to a leader.

Mai Feixue gave her a white look, and snorted, "Are you envious? The one she was looking for is over 50 this year, older than her father. I don't know what she is proud of every day. She was still on guard against me back then." It seems that I am afraid that I will take her position away, which is really ridiculous."

Gu Zanli couldn't say anything.

It really is.

A successful person with a successful career, apart from the boss Zhou around him, which one is not an old man?
Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "You all remember that it is forbidden to show off your wealth. Only by keeping your voice quiet can you get rich. This is the most reasonable way. The best way to enjoy life is to keep a low profile. Don't show off."

Mai Feixue said with a smile: "I know, I haven't posted on Weibo."

Gu Zanli added softly, "Well, we had this kind of training on the first day we joined the company, and Sun Guanran and Ning Lu refused."
