Soon Tencent collected all the reports from South Korea. After Zhou Mingzai read them carefully, he also noticed the anomalies in these news reports.
Then Zhou Ming, who discovered the abnormality, called Jack Ma from Wuhan to Shenzhen, and then conducted detailed research with Ma Huateng and the other three.
"Boss Ma, what do you think this is going on?" Zhou Ming looked directly at Ma Huateng and Ma Yun in front of him and asked.
"Mr. Chen, could it be that Samsung has encountered difficulties? In addition, Samsung Electronics began to build factories in the mainland in 1992, but it has not yet sold in our mainland market. Do you think it is because it has not brought them success? To make a profit?" At this time, Jack Ma began to speculate with confusion. Based on the Korean consortium's control over Korean media, these messages were definitely released deliberately by Samsung.
"The current mobile phone market still belongs to Motorola and Nokia, and Samsung mobile phones are naturally the tadpoles."
"Mr. Chen, does our Maxis Holdings headquarters have any ideas about taking over Samsung Electronics?" Ma Huateng on the side then looked at Zhou Ming in front of him and asked.
"Of course! But I guess Samsung will spin off the mobile phone business independently. It is absolutely impossible to sell Samsung Electronics as a whole."
"It's possible."
"Originally, I intended to go to South Korea to negotiate with Samsung alone. Now it seems that I need to bring an extra negotiator. Which of you two, Mr. Ma, is willing to go to South Korea with me?"
"Mr. Chen, I'd better go!" At this time, Ma Yun took the initiative to look at Zhou Ming and said.
"That's good! In addition, you will be appointed as the deputy general manager of the head office Maxis Holdings. You will be fully responsible for the specific negotiation business. Tomorrow you will go to BJ head office to select a negotiation team."
"Yes! Mr. Chen, do you want to send an acquisition offer to Samsung in advance?" Ma Yun naturally looked at Zhou Ming in front of him excitedly and asked.
"Yes! No matter what Samsung's plans are, we at Maxis Holdings can take a look."
At this time, Ma Huateng on the side undoubtedly felt a little regretful. Seeing that Ma Yun had entered the head office so easily, he was also depressed that his reaction was too late.
After Ma Yun left Shenzhen happily, Zhou Ming secretly went to Guangzhou.
Seeing that Huang Xiaoping actually opened a cosmetics sales company in Guangzhou, I suddenly felt that my cheap mother was quite business-minded.
"Hey! Boss Huang's business is good!" Zhou Ming looked at Huang Xiaoping and said jokingly.
"Hmph! What are you doing here?" Huang Xiaoping saw that it was his son, and he suppressed his surprise and mocked.
"I'm here to see what my mother is like now."
"Your mother? Chen Xingjie, do you have a mother?"
"Boss Huang, I see that what you sell at your counter are all low-end domestic cosmetics?"
"What? Want to buy a set for your girlfriend? I can make the decision and give you a 30% discount."
"No need! My girlfriend is used to big foreign brands, but she doesn't like your low-end gadgets."
"snort!"
"Boss Huang, I suggest you choose a big international brand to sell as an agent. It will definitely have more sales than low-end brands like yours."
"Hmph! You still need to tell me this! I recently fell in love with France's Lancôme, but they simply don't like me."
"Oh? Do you need help?"
"You? Don't you just ask about my affairs?"
"I can help you contact a big investor, so that you can directly register a large cosmetics sales company, and help you get the domestic distribution rights of French Lancôme."
"May I?"
"Yes! As long as you can change your ways and stop contacting pyramid schemes, there is no problem in contacting an investor for you."
"Hmph! As a son, you are not too heartless."
Zhou Ming has been paying attention to Huang Xiaoping's affairs in Guangzhou in the past few years and found that she really only focused on her cosmetics counter. Zhou Ming did not mind adding more information to Huang Xiaoping.
New investments are made.
Soon Zhou Ming flew to Seoul, South Korea with Jack Ma and the acquisition team, and Samsung's reception staff were already waiting at the airport.
This time, Samsung specially invited a lot of media, which shows that their motives are destined to be very impure. Even Zhou Ming suspected that Maxis Holdings was deliberately used as a foil to raise prices.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma, welcome to Seoul." The beautiful Li Fuzhen shook hands with Zhou Ming with a smile on his face, but when he looked at Zhou Ming, who was too young to ask for money, he still showed a surprised expression.
"Miss Li, I really didn't expect you to greet us in person." Zhou Ming also didn't expect that Li Jianxi would be willing to send the most beautiful daughter in their family.
"Mr. Chen, you and Mr. Ma are our distinguished guests from Samsung. Of course I have to come and greet you in person."
Then Zhou Ming and Ma Yun both smiled and got into the luxury car arranged by Samsung, and then the luxurious motorcade left the airport under the scrutiny of the Korean media.
Immediately afterwards, the news that Zhou Ming and Jack Ma Yun led the acquisition team to Seoul, South Korea, was immediately published on the front pages of major media.
It quickly detonated public opinion in South Korea and even directly entered the hot search list of international news.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ming and Jack Ma visited Samsung Electronics Company, and it was not until the next day that they officially met with Samsung's leader Li Jianxi.
Although Maxis Holdings Co., Ltd. has developed very well in China in the past two years, it is still a small shrimp in the eyes of international company Samsung.
"Chairman Li, I heard that your Samsung company intends to sell Samsung Electronics?" Zhou Ming asked directly looking at Li Jianxi in front of him.
"No! We just want to sell the mobile phone business unit of Samsung Electronics." Li Jianxi shook his head disapprovingly, and then explained to Zhou Ming, which was completely different from Zhou Ming's initial guess.
"I wonder what specific projects Chairman Li is selling?"
"Samsung mobile phone factories around the world and Samsung mobile phone R&D departments."
"President Li, I wonder what your Samsung offer is?"
"One hundred million U.S. dollars." Li Jianxi opened his mouth and made a sky-high price.
"Ha!" At this time, Zhou Ming and Ma Yun next to him were almost angry. Otherwise, the situation was really wrong and they would have laughed. "President Li, your quotation is too high. It is not right at all." This is something a small company like us, Maxis Holdings, can afford.”
"Haha, it's an acquisition negotiation! Of course it's a matter of negotiation."
Naturally, the first contact between Maxis Holdings and Samsung broke up on bad terms. Then Zhou Ming handed over all the negotiations to Jack Ma, and started a life of dissipation and extravagance by himself in Seoul. Read the book
"Mr. Ma, these Koreans still have too much appetite. The most we can do is give them the price we determined at the beginning. If it's more, it might be more cost-effective for us to slowly develop it ourselves." Zhou Ming was worried that there were bugs in the hotel, so I didn’t tell Ma Yun too clearly.
"I know! Leave the specific negotiations to me and the team."
"Hey, I've always heard that certain industries here in South Korea are very developed, so I just took the opportunity to have a good look at them."
"Huh? Mr. Chen, after all, this is not our country. It's best to be careful when playing."
"Don't worry! I know it all."
