Riding the wind of rebirth

"What's the matter? Just a few plates of beef? I don't even want to touch puffer fish..."

"Those plates of beef you ordered are more expensive than puffer fish!" Zhang Siluo pinched Zhou Zhi's shoulders, and his body occasionally came into contact with Zhou Zhi under his thin shirt: "And those bottles of wine, do you think they are cheap?"

"Just that 20% red sweet potato wine?" Zhou Zhi was about to get angry.

"Oh, please keep your voice down!" Zhang Siluo stamped his feet regardless of the rhythm of the music: "I'm talking about the bottle you blew away..."

"Only that bottle tasted interesting to me..."

"You can really do it. That bottle is the 14th generation of the island country. It costs 350,000 yen a bottle. Just give it to you..."

"How much is three hundred and fifty thousand yen?" Zhou Zhi is familiar with the international exchange rates of US dollars, euros and pounds.

"More than 20,000!" Zhang Siluo gritted his teeth: "You made Lao Jin turn pale from drinking."

"So expensive?" Zhou Zhi now asks Xiaoliujie to buy Moutai, Wuliangye and Luzhou Laojiao for him every year. A bottle of Moutai now only costs more than 100 yuan. Even if the price of the old Moutai has increased significantly for more than ten years, it will still be expensive. Not even thousands.

How dare a bottle of sake like that be more expensive than two boxes of old Moutai? !

Zhou Zhi smiled when he thought of this, and whispered in Zhang Siluo's ear: "Don't worry, Lao Jin is selling old goods. Now he collects our national liquor Moutai. That is the real value."

"Anyway, I told you, you can figure it out yourself." Zhang Siluo said angrily: "Drinking, sex, wealth, you men have something in common, I don't care."

"Sister, I have just finished my freshman year. Don't compare me to old men like Lao Jin and Lao Matsui..."

"Let's go back. With your drinking capacity and your ability to be naughty, you don't look like a freshman at all."

The two of them returned from the dance floor to the dining table. Hu Changfeng suggested: "How about this for today? Let's go back and rest early. We must be energetic tomorrow and study hard with our colleagues from Samsung."

Jin Chun put down his hand ready to invite Zhang Siluo to dance: "What do you think? Are you done drinking?"

"Drink up, drink up," Zhou Zhi could only hold his hand to Jin Chunyi: "I made a fool of myself. I didn't expect that bottle of 14th Generation to be so expensive. When I get back to China, I will pay you two boxes of Maotai..."

"Ms. Zhang, that's not right. Everyone comes out to eat just to be happy. In China, we often bother each other. What is this... called courtesy in Chinese?" At this time, Jin Chunyi began to talk about the situation again.

After coming out of the hotel, Jin Chunyi quietly pulled Zhou Zhi aside and hinted that if he wanted to play like he and Matsui Zao did at the Minshan Hotel, he could arrange it.

Of course Zhou Zhi waved his hands after hearing this, saying that he had no such interests at all.

There was nothing to say all night, but starting from the next day, Zhou Zhi and his party began to experience Samsung's corporate culture in a serious way.

From Zhou Zhi's point of view, it is actually similar to that of later generations in China. Wearing work ID badges and swiping cards to go to work, everyone enters the building in a hurry. Employees who arrive early can also go to the staff canteen to enjoy a semi-welfare breakfast. There is also a cafe and gym in the building. , and even a swimming pool.

Overtime work is also encouraged in the evening, and everything is similar to that of a four-leaf clover. Even the smart IC employee card of the four-leaf clover has not been used. The card is swiped with a bank card. After doing this, Zhou Zhi felt that this was just the way it was for the mighty Samsung Group. At the very least, the employee food was worse than that of a four-leaf clover.

After breakfast, the employees of Samsung Electronics invited the delegation into the conference room, followed by several senior executives. After Zhang Siluo's introduction, they shook hands with Hu Changfeng, Zhou Zhi and his party with a calm face.

Zhang Siluo was a little cautious when speaking in front of these people. After translating, Zhou Zhi learned about the big shots of Samsung Electronics, President Cui Zhicheng, Vice President of Storage Equipment Technology Department Kwon Oh-hyun, and one of the co-CEOs Shin Jongjun.

They are all top executives of Samsung. They don’t need to give the delegation any smiles. Just being able to come and sit down is already a great honor to the Chinese delegation.

Kwon Oh-hyun is the team leader who led the team to conquer 64M storage, while Shin Jong-jun is the leader of Samsung’s mobile phone business.

The two attended this meeting. Kwon Wu-hyun was involved in the meeting because Clover and Huahong Group were preparing to discuss a joint venture with Samsung to build a memory chip factory, while Shen Zongjun was engaged in a similar business to Zhou Zhi - the bottom layer of mobile devices. operating system.

However, as one of the earliest companies to develop mobile phones, Samsung once led the global mobile phone market with its stylish, compact and powerful design, especially during the period when CDMA mobile phones were popular, accounting for half of the global CDMA mobile phone market.

However, after entering the era of smartphones, Samsung fell into a chaotic period of complicated research and development. In addition to the Symbian system jointly developed with Symbian and WINDOWS MOBILE jointly developed with Microsoft, after Android came out, it also made its own shell. TOUCHWIZ UI.

After seeing that self-developed systems such as Apple's IOS became more and more popular, Samsung wanted to develop its self-developed system BADA to conform to the IOS ecosystem. As a result, there were only a few responders, resulting in a lack of application apps, failure in ecological construction, and free use of them. Download the APP for Android and it will be a blast.

After the failure, we teamed up with many world-renowned companies to develop LIMO, a system stronger than Android based on Linux, and wanted to be compatible with Linux and Android programs.

It can be said that Samsung had not clarified its research and development ideas until that time, but the system still failed because there were too many bugs in the system. The biggest one was the input method problem, which brought a lot of trouble to downstream groups doing ecological research and development.

After that, Samsung adjusted its thinking again and directly jointly developed TIZEN OS, an open source system based on Linux, with chip manufacturer Intel. At this time, Samsung's mentality was already a bit broken. "If I can't make money from the closed loop, I will destroy the closed loop." Go the open source route.

This system is actually quite good, it is compatible with many operating systems, ecological research and development is relatively easy, and it even has the functions of the first generation of IoT, but the timing is too late.

How late is it? At this time, it is already 2016, and we have entered an era where Apple and Android share the world equally.

The world doesn't need a third smartphone operating system anymore.

This is pure "get up early and catch the late market".

There is no doubt that this must be inseparable from the narrow vision, confused thinking, and poor decision-making of Samsung Mobile Phone leaders.

However, now that Samsung's mobile phone business is on the rise, Shen Zongjun is very arrogant. Among the "big leaders", he is the one with the least smile on his face.

After everyone was seated, the meeting officially began. Everyone communicated in English. First, President Cui Zhicheng began to speak. He generally welcomed the arrival of the Chinese delegation, and then briefly introduced Samsung Electronics’ achievements and current key businesses, as well as its future industrial plans. blueprint.

Among them, cooperation with China was highlighted, especially the factory in Jinhai, which produced the world's first 64M DRAM. This capability not only made Samsung Group, but also the world look at China's semiconductor manufacturing capabilities with admiration. The prerequisite foundation and sustained motivation for further in-depth cooperation.
