Reborn Millennial Gamer

"Mr. Liu, if the Samsung mobile phones sold by Feigou, Jingdong and Meituan on Double Eleven involve quality issues with mixed use of panels, how should consumers protect their rights?"

In the office, Lu Fei and Xu Lei sat face to face on the sofa, looking at the TV together.

I saw Liu Edong in the picture smiling and saying:

"This is a good question!"

"Consumers please rest assured that many e-commerce companies such as Jingdong, Feigou, Meituan and Ali have joined forces to form a rights protection lawyer advisory group, which will be fully responsible for the rights protection of Samsung mobile phones, whether it is returns, refunds, or claims. If you ask for compensation, we will fully assist and cooperate with consumers in safeguarding their rights, and just in case, we will ensure that the screen of the Samsung mobile phone that is replaced is definitely a genuine diamond arrangement panel..."

"Look at Qidong, he is among the people now."

Lu Fei reached out and raised the corners of his mouth.

"That's right. Feigou, JD.com, and Meituan all don't put the interests of users first!"

Xu Lei walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine.

"The Chinese side has been taken care of, and the European side has to be taken into consideration as well. We can't favor one over the other." Lu Fei raised his feet.

"Don't worry, it's not the first time."

Xu Lei used a bottle opener to pull out the cork, "Apple's 'antenna gate' and 'colon gate' have been reborn for the first time and the second time. They have already become familiar with it. This time, I guarantee that Samsung will also experience the pain of being attacked from both ends, haha , if you dare to mix the panels, why don’t you want to clean it up!”

Just as the red wine was sobering up, Samsung Electronics' stock price has fallen by 2% since the opening, and its market value has evaporated by 4.8 trillion won. Samsung, which has finally implemented its ostrich policy, finally showed its head and proactively issued an apology statement:

"We attach great importance to the recent mixed use of OLED panels at home and abroad. In order to ensure that global consumers can use our products with peace of mind, we have decided to recall all Samsung mobile phone products with non-diamond arranged OLED screens globally..."

"Hiss, it's so simple, just call it a global recall."

Xu Lei glanced at Lu Fei regretfully, "It's a pity that Samsung didn't do the stupid trick of 'differential treatment' like Apple."

"It doesn't matter. Even if Samsung doesn't make a mistake, it won't end so easily. Hey, do you want a global recall?"

Lu Fei shook his wine glass and smiled coldly.

"From what you're saying, do you still have a backup plan?"

Xu Lei took a sip of red wine.

"Samsung has sold at least 10 to 20 million mobile phones with mixed panels during this period. Samsung's few evaporation machines have made the machines smoke, and they have also produced unreliable OLED screens. Now we can rely on them." The only ones that matter are Logic and BOE.”

Lu Fei sniffed the aroma of wine wafting out.

"That's not a coincidence. If you don't give it..."

"It's either that we won't give it, or we can't give it even if we want to. Now let alone logic, even BOE's production capacity is strictly based on supply logic. How can there be any extra production lines for Samsung?"

"Pfft!"

Xu Lei smiled knowingly, "If Samsung cannot exchange goods for consumers in time, then they will have no choice but to buy Logic or Apple phones like the refunded ones, and your and BOE's screens will be in even greater demand. , Samsung will be even less likely to purchase panels, creating a vicious cycle.”

"Not only that, with Samsung's current production capacity, it is impossible to deliver to the Chinese and European markets at the same time. There must be a sequence."

Lu Fei showed a wicked smile.

"When the time comes, Samsung will have to make a choice."

Xu Lei couldn't help but realize, "Whether we choose Europe, the basic market, or China, the emerging market, no matter which side we choose, there is enough for Samsung to drink. If we choose Europe, we will let Feigou take Jingdong and Midea." Group a bunch of e-commerce companies to cause trouble, and then let Penguin, Weibo, and WeChat expose them severely. Hey, it’s not up to us to decide whether Samsung treats them differently or not.”

"Even if I choose China and barely pass this level, Christmas is coming soon. I'll see how Samsung can pass this level."

Lu Fei raised his glass and the two clinked their glasses.

when!

Xu Lei felt creepy and goosebumps all over his body.

Christmas is equivalent to shopping carnivals in Europe and the United States, and it is also the Christmas shopping week for JD.com in December. Just the stockings of manufacturers such as Logic, Apple, and Shenzhou, and the panel production capacity of Logic and BOE, I am afraid that they will be overloaded by the end of January next year. state.

Panels cannot be mixed, and there is not enough production capacity. This year's Christmas, Samsung can only have one or two sips of soup at most.

This is under the premise that BOE is willing to give up some production capacity.

otherwise--

"Even if BOE's workers work three shifts without rest, the machines always have to rest. If something goes wrong and catches fire accidentally, wouldn't it delay the big thing?" Lu Fei said lightly.

"I admire you, A Fei, I'm so impressed with you!"

Xu Lei gave a thumbs up, "Samsung wants to attack the high-end and enter the Chinese market, but when it encounters a competitor like you, it is really going to be beaten to death by you. Its price war is simply ruining its reputation and losing money. Take yourself to the gutter.”

"In addition to Samsung, I also prepared a Christmas gift for Lee Jae-yong." Lu Fei showed a mysterious smile.

"Big gift?!"

Xu Lei was very curious.

"Yes, the matter of panel mixing is indeed a big blow to Samsung, but it is only temporary. Samsung has done this kind of thing before. There are so many black histories that it is difficult to describe."

Lu Fei stood up, "The most serious damage to Samsung mobile phones is not enough. We also need to use this to help Lee Jae-yong. The position of chairman of Samsung is not that easy to sit on."

As soon as he finished speaking, he drank the red wine in one gulp.

Although Li Yinxin and Li Fuzhen gave up being the talkmakers of Samsung, it does not mean that high-quality assets were handed over to him for inheritance.

Electronics, finance, military industry, chemical industry...

It’s not easy to ask for a daughter, so he, the son-in-law, comes to ask for it!

Although he is not a son-in-law, he can still eat his master!

"This 'panel mixing' incident caused Samsung Electronics' stock price to fall by 2% in two days, and its market value evaporated by 10 trillion won. The huge losses caused by the global recall have not yet been calculated."

"'Bangzi Lee Adou': Lee Jae-yong!"

"Samsung's third generation leader is not a qualified successor."

“Since Lee Jae-yong took over Samsung, he has made few achievements and many failures. He almost lost the patent infringement case with Logic. He was also troubled by import restrictions and watched Apple monopolize the American market. In addition, it is the world’s number one memory chip business. Being overtaken by Yangtze Memory, the world's number one panel technology was overtaken by Logic and BOE's 'oled screen', which forced them to resort to the stupid trick of 'panel mixing'. The reputation and sales of Samsung mobile phones were severely frustrated, and the group's market value was It also continues to be depressed..."

"If things continue like this, Samsung's global technological power and dominance may not be preserved due to the insufficient capabilities of its successors!!"

"The head of the Bangzi Zaibatsu may not be a man!"

Seeing this description of himself in the newspaper, Lee Jae-yong angrily tore it into pieces, "What are these media writing! What are they writing! You bastards! Do they want to die! Do they want to die!"

"..."

Cui Zhicheng and other close confidants lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Find out who and which media outlets wrote these articles. There must be someone behind them, otherwise they wouldn't have the guts to offend me!" Lee Jae-yong was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched and veins popped out, "Check, let me get to the bottom of it." , go check it out right away!”

"Yes, President!"

Everyone hurriedly responded.

"Cough cough."

Cui Zhicheng smacked his lips, "Our luxury brand plan has encountered a small problem. Brands such as Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, and Gucci, which have clearly expressed their intention to cooperate with us, have temporarily canceled or postponed the talks. I'm afraid..."

"Haha, isn't it because Samsung has a bad reputation now?"

Lee Jae-yong smiled coldly, "Afraid of tarnishing them, I am short-sighted. When the global recall is over, when the crisis public relations is over, when the whole crisis is over, who will remember this kind of thing."

"So should we put the plan on hold temporarily and wait until the storm has passed before restarting?" Cui Zhicheng asked.

"Do as you say."

Lee Jae-yong added, "Write down all the brands that have canceled meetings with us. I think there will be no need for in-depth cooperation in the future. Samsung will not be wanted by anyone."

"Yes, President!"

Cui Zhicheng nodded and bent down.

Lee Jae-yong sent everyone else away, leaving only Cui Zhicheng, who lowered his voice and said, "Have you received the news that my father will be back after this matter is handled?"

"What, the old president is going to come out again!?"

Cui Zhicheng was shocked.

"Yes, at the next council meeting, he will return to the group and take charge of Samsung again." Lee Jae-yong's face was ashen. "Then what do you do?"

Cui Zhicheng's heart skipped a beat.

"I am in my current position, Vice President."

Lee Jae-yong smiled bitterly, "Furthermore, Dad also wants to announce something at the board of directors. I'm worried that it will be detrimental to me..."

Three days later, Council.

As soon as the executives heard that Li Jianxi was going to attend, they all put on their long-lost diapers and ate biscuits and bread to cushion their stomachs beforehand, but they did not dare to drink any water and were prepared not to go to the bathroom for an hour or two. And physical preparation, gathered together in a crowd.

They lowered their heads to discuss and whisper to each other.

boom!

Only the sound of the door opening was heard, and immediately there was silence.

As soon as they saw Li Zaiyong helping Li Jianxi come in, they all stood up and applauded in unison.

Loyal! Sincerity!

Bathed in the flood of applause, Lee Jae-yong could keenly notice the looks they cast on Lee Kun-hee, which were both respectful and fearful. They were exactly the same as those cast on him before, but now, in their eyes, one could read surprise, ridicule, and even schadenfreude.

Not only did he not feel enthusiastic about the applause, but it was like a slap in the face, causing burning pain.

The old president's return to the position of commander is a denial of his ability as the crown prince to supervise the country! Seriously damage your own prestige!

How can I lead the team well in the future?

Mmp in my heart, but trying hard to smile on the outside.

The father and son looked like a "father is kind and son is filial" in front of everyone, but after sitting down, Li Jianxi's kind face changed instantly, and his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, just like a tiger looking for its prey, and finally caught him. His eyes fell on——

The person in charge of Samsung SDS, which focuses on the panel business.

When the panels are mixed, someone will always stand up and take the blame. It is impossible to let Lee Jae-yong take the blame, so the minister can only be sacrificed.

"Whoo~"

Lee Jae-yong was relieved. Although the head of the SDS department was his own, without Lee Kun-hee taking action, he would have let him take the blame for him. After all, the credit of the subordinates belongs to the superiors, and the faults of the superiors belong to the subordinates.

"In view of Samsung's current situation, I am now announcing that we will restructure the business subsidiaries within the group."

Lee Kun-hee glanced at Lee Jae-yong calmly.

It was quiet all around, ears pricked up, waiting quietly.

Lee Jae-yong felt his heart pounding when he heard Lee Kun-hee announcing that he would hand over the shares of Samsung General Chemical, Total, Commercial Equipment, and Thales to Lee Fuzhen, including all of Samsung's petrochemical and military industries. industry.

Suddenly, the whole audience was shocked.

Samsung Total is a joint venture between Samsung General Chemical and France's Total, which holds 50% of the shares. Samsung Thales is also a joint venture between Samsung Commercial Equipment and France's Thales, with Samsung Commercial Equipment holding 50% of the shares.

The most important thing is that Samsung Integrated Chemical is not only the leading petrochemical company in Bangzi, but also has electronic materials and other precision chemical businesses that Samsung Electronics relies on.

"..."

Li Zaiyong gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Although Samsung Real Estate, the largest shareholder, retains 18.5% of the shares, plus 19.9% ​​of General Chemical's shares, these alone give Lee Fuzhen's total assets of more than 1.9 trillion won.

Equivalent to 106 billion RMB!

Not counting the Everland, Shilla Hotel, and movie company she has on hand, this inheritance is too much!

"As for the electronics and financial business, I have also found a new suitable candidate. That is the pride of our Samsung, the pride of our Bangzi, and even more proud of me, my little daughter."

Li Jianxi looked around, "Li Yinxin!"

In an instant, the whole place was in an uproar, completely beyond expectations.

Samsung's electronics and financial businesses include not just a few banks, but also involve securities, credit cards, mobile payments, investment trusts, venture capital and insurance.

Especially when it comes to insurance, Samsung Life is the largest life insurance company in Bangkok, occupying 56.8% of the national life insurance market share, which is more than twice that of the second and third largest life insurance companies combined. All of this is given to Miss San? !

"Oh my god?"

"Does the president want Miss Third..."

"Shut up, are you allowed to say such things?"

"Ahem, cough, pay attention to the occasion."

The executives whispered and turned their attention to Lee Jae-yong. Although the crown prince still controls Samsung Electronics, engineering, aviation, heavy industry, SDS, and SDI (battery), compared with two months ago, the power in his hands has been reduced. Greatly weakened.

"I think that under their leadership, these businesses will reach greater heights. Of course, it is unjustifiable for them to work for the group without appropriate status, so I have a proposal, which I plan to submit to the shareholders' meeting. "

Li Jianxi narrowed his eyes.

"I actually want to nominate them as directors of the society!"

As soon as the meeting ended, Lee Jae-yong ran back to his office impatiently, pulled off his tie, and gritted his teeth:

"Xiba! He actually wants to treat them as directors of the society!"

"Is the old man crazy? Is he crazy?"

"President!"

Cui Zhicheng, who caught up, was so frightened that he immediately closed the door.

"He is old and confused and has dementia. I must stop him from doing such stupid things. I will never allow this to happen."

Li Zaiyong clenched his fists tightly, and his blood surged.

Internal directors are equivalent to directors on the board of directors. Two-thirds of the entire Samsung board of directors are outside directors, and only five are internal directors. Li Fuzhen and Li Yinxin suddenly occupy two seats.

Including Li Jianxi's own vote, it is not impossible to remove himself from the position of vice president!

Alternatively, Li Fuzhen and Li Yinxin hold more shares.

crisis!

A big crisis that shakes his heir!

The sense of crisis that I am afraid quickly lingered on Li Zaiyong and Cui Zhicheng. As his die-hard confidant and "Prince Master", Cui Zhicheng immediately asked:

"Have you really decided?"

"That's right, we must hurry up before the shareholders' meeting and take advantage of the fact that apart from you and me, the other two are ours, we can remove him from the chairmanship at the board of directors. Of course, this is a last resort. .”

Li Zaiyong's eyes suddenly became fierce.

"Are we going to do that?"

Cui Zhicheng's face was gloomy.

"Well, this incident can just be used to divert the public's attention from the mixed use of our Samsung panels. If used properly, it may be possible to directly arrange for the old man to be hospitalized or even discharged."

Li Zaiyong narrowed his eyes, "The worst result of this is that I replace him and temporarily become the interim president. I can use this time to deal with my lovely sisters severely."

"Wait a minute."

Cui Zhicheng wanted to call over the other two directors who were about to be replaced by Li Fuzhen and Li Yinxin to discuss plans and prepare for rebellion.

"At least the other side should take action and secretly hand over the photos to the CJ Group in the name of Im Woo-jae!" Lee Jae-yong ordered.

"Understood, President!" Cui Zhicheng nodded solemnly.

"Don't let anyone find out that we did it. Even if we want to investigate, we can only find out Ren Youzai. It's because he has a grudge and thinks that the divorce compensation given by Fu Zhen is too small, so he did such a thing."

Lee Jae-yong said seriously: "In short, there are thousands of mistakes, it's all Im Woo-jae's fault, Lee Fu-jin's fault, and my father's fault. Why can't he pass Samsung to me properly?"

For the first time, Cui Zhicheng felt that the person in front of him was a little strange, but a little familiar, just like Li Jianxi when his third son took the throne.

"Samsung must be protected by me this time. Only I can protect Samsung. How can I leave it to a group of women!"

Lee Jae-yong slapped the table. (End of chapter)
