Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 890 The Traitor Fang Zhuo (4K)

Fang Zhuo didn't care about the unpleasant meeting with the head of LG Electronics this time.

We are already competitors, what else is there to talk about?

Now there are Yu Nanjun, President of LG Electronics China, Wayne, President of LG Electronics America, and Nam Yong, the head of LG Electronics, who else can come next?
The Koo family of the LG Group?
Gu Benmoo, the head of the LG Group this generation?

Fang Zhuo had already dealt with Lee Jae-yong, the prince of Samsung, and because of Nam Yong's appearance, he was also a little curious about LG's Koo.

However, Nam Yong never came back, and there was no new news from LG.

Fang Zhuo was ready to answer Gu's call, and even wanted to hear news about LG's cooperation in other fields, such as semiconductors. This company is not a business like electronics, but also a large conglomerate entrenched in South Korea.

Unfortunately, no one called again.

Regardless of the little disappointment in his heart, Fang Zhuo simply communicated with Qualcomm about Huawei's willingness to improve the positioning of OEM products after obtaining consent, and wanted to substantially help his own factory to get more orders.

From the subprime debt crisis that occurred in the United States last year to the current economic situation, the country is sending home appliances to the countryside, and Germany wants to stimulate the economy. Many industries have felt the chill to varying degrees.

The semiconductor industry is no exception.

In the first quarter of this year, Ice Core upgraded its 65nm production capacity as planned, from 1.5W per month to 2.5W wafers.

I thought that more customers would be imported soon. However, except for NVIDIA, which suffered losses due to the instability of Taiji’s new technology, this time it chose to allocate an appropriate amount of orders to ice cores. Other major international manufacturers are more cautious.

It is not cautious about the process of ice cores that have been verified by Qualcomm, but cautious about the global market.

Ice Core’s production capacity in the fourth quarter of last year was almost full, but the climb at the beginning of this year was not smooth. As of April, the capacity utilization rate of the Luzhou plant was only 70%, and the Lin’an plant was cut by Qimonda. Only the minimum production capacity is running, but the sensor production line jointly owned by Shencheng and Sony is still quite satisfactory.

If it is just the ice core, it may need to reflect on it, but even the industry's leading journalists have reported suspected production cuts, which can reflect the situation.

Therefore, despite the downturn in the industry, Fang is always working hard.

For a long time, Ice Core has always taken breakthroughs in advanced manufacturing processes as its first goal. Looking at Ice Core at this point in time, the Lin'an plant is at a loss under the situation of the global storage industry plummeting. The huge equipment depreciation cost for upgrading the production capacity of the Luzhou factory this year needs to be digested...

If it were someone else, the down cycle of the industry might be slowed down. However, Fang Zhuo wanted to play a counter-cyclical game, and wanted to keep a close eye on the flow of engineers from leading manufacturers such as Taiji and UMC.

All the reporters are suspected of cutting production. When Lehman sets off the fireworks, will everyone's layoffs be far behind?

As for the doubts in Bingxin due to the situation... President Qiu Ciyun Qiu did talk about the weakening of customer demand in the first quarter and the overall business problems.

Fang Zhuo's answer was simple.

"No matter how miserable it is, can it be worse than SMIC?"

"Don't worry, I won't say that I made a little money by shorting Lehman, and I won't say that friends who are willing to invest in Bo's listing, just say that in Luzhou, they have already stated their position and will fully support us."

Because of the ice core, Luzhou has initially established the framework of the industrial chain, and has obtained affirmation and planning at a higher administrative level.

If Zhangjiang in Shencheng New District is called "China's Silicon Valley", then Luzhou is now vaguely known as China's Small Silicon Valley, and it will only support the development of Bingxin more than before.

Fang Zhuo is so busy attracting customers for himself, and he has to give some advice to the Yikezhen Silicon Valley R&D Center remotely.

After repeatedly postponing his trip abroad, now that May is approaching, he simply sits in the country and plans to fly to the United States in June to see the latest situation of the heroes in the mobile phone industry.

On the morning of April 4, Fang Zhuo was busy with work at Hang Lung 28 as usual. Before he finished signing the documents, his secretary Liu Zonghong walked into the president's office and reported some reactions from LG Electronics after all.

"Mr. Fang, the media has extensively reported the patent dispute between Yike and LG, and there are also some abnormal personal comments."

Liu Zonghong came in with a notebook.

Fang Zhuo was surprised when he heard this, and while picking up his notebook, he asked, "Which media?"

This is a patent lawsuit between Yike and LG. It stands to reason that the media should not write indiscriminately or stand indiscriminately. Even Penguin, who has a bad relationship now, will not make such an obvious distorted report on this matter.

"It's South Korean media, including Korean broadcasting company KBS, Chosun Ilbo and other mainstream media." Liu Zonghonghui reported.

Fang Zhuo has no objection, this is not really a mess, his position is quite correct!

Flipping through the translated reports, he wondered, "And the Chosun Ilbo?"

""Chosun Ilbo" is a newspaper in South Korea, and it is the newspaper with the largest circulation there." Liu Zonghong answered the boss's doubts, "Not only newspapers, TV stations, but also new online media are reporting our company's LG mobile phones in great length. The prosecution of the case is clearly guided by public opinion."

He continued: "Now, several BBS forums in South Korea have announced that they will boycott Yike mobile phones, which may cause losses to our market in South Korea."

Yike Mars has now entered the Japanese and Korean markets, aiming to complete the sales target of 800 million before the replacement.

Although South Korea is a small country, it is one of the fastest-growing markets for 3G services in the world. The proportion of 3G users is much higher than that of Europe and the United States, reaching more than 35%, while Europe and the United States are less than 30%.

It was the first time Fang Zhuo heard the words "boycott Yike mobile phones", and couldn't help but look up at the secretary, and commented: "Sounds weird."

He continued to browse the media reports of neighboring countries and found that there was also an interview with Nam Yong, the head of LG Electronics.

"LG mobile phone launched a full touch screen mobile phone as early as the end of 06, earlier than the iPhone, and also carried out patent reserves."

"Huaxia's Yike Company is now taking advantage of patent loopholes and trying to stifle our competitiveness."

"LG mobile phones exceeded 100 million units in the second month of sales in the United States, which is an innovative success!"

"Yike jumps out to block LG at this time, it will not succeed!"

"Fang Zhuo is a conspirator who hides behind Yi Ke and patents. He is destined not to get everything he thinks of!"

Different from the generally polite and polite visit to Shencheng, Nan Yong scolded Yi Ke and Fang Zhuo when he was interviewed by the TV station.

Fang Zhuo was taken aback for a moment. Following the pragmatist and doer, there was another evaluation of a conspirator?
When did you hide behind yourself?

Everything is clear and plain.

He shook his head slightly, and after turning the page, he saw the title of the rather wordy report——"Traitor Fang Zhuo! "

Forget about being a traitor, the word "Fang Zhuo" was crossed out.

This newspaper from South Korea's "Dong-A Ilbo" not only reported the patent dispute between Yike and LG, but also dug deeper, talking about the transfer of Huaxia BOE as a tainted witness, stabbing Samsung and LG LCD panels.

"Dong Asia Daily" directly put this matter on Fang Zhuo's head without any evidence at all, trying to explain the word "traitor" in the title.

And, its review is not only that, the "hostile takeover of Sina" and "hunting investment institutions" have also been found out, in order to denounce the lack of business ethics of China's richest man in the mainland.

Fang Zhuo nodded frequently.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Why did they identify me with regard to BOE? They never mention anything to Wang."

Liu Zonghong was filled with righteous indignation. The hostile takeover and venture capital hunting were not mentioned. The incident of the liquid crystal stabbing knife cannot be blamed on the head just because the boss took the lead in helping at the beginning!

This is what the media report fears the most. It is easy to tell if all are false, but nine are true and one is false. This is very annoying!

"Following rumors, the Korean media is so irresponsible, it's too wronged!" Liu Zonghong frowned.

Fang Zhuo nodded his head, he was a bit accurate.

The problem is that this is the media of a neighboring country, and this is their home field, so there is no way for their own side to go to the line.

What should we do now?
Find the media by yourself, let Sina also write about LG?

Fang Zhuo felt that there was no need for this, and there should be no one in the country who would be free to pay attention to Korean public opinion. As for the Korean market, let the company deal with it coldly.

Although South Korea's 3G business is developing rapidly and the consumer penetration rate is high, its total cap is there, and Samsung and LG are deeply entrenched. If there is any loss, there is nothing to do. Wait until August to call back .

Seeing that the boss had changed the cup of tea, Liu Zonghong asked his opinion on how to deal with this matter: "Mr. Fang, what should we do now?"

Fang Zhuo glanced at the secretary who had been with him for a long time, and said, "This kind of public opinion summary won't be necessary to make a PPT next time. Your PPT is really good."

Liu Zonghong is awe-inspiring, what is good at the top will be bad at the bottom, if the top says not to do it, he will not do it next time.

"Let the company make a statement in South Korea. Patents are all subject to legal procedures." Fang Zhuo said again.

Liu Zonghong waited for a while, but did not see the following, hesitantly said: "What about those media's smearing reports?"

Fang Zhuo hesitated. The level of media reporters varies from high to low. Objectively speaking, the writing style of this report like "Dong-A Ilbo" is relatively neutral, but it is more interesting to list some things.

How did people discredit it?
Say what you have done.

That's not a good answer.

He finally shook his head: "Forget it, I don't know Korean anyway, so let them go."

Liu Zonghong hesitated for two seconds, and didn't say anything about the radiation circle of Chinese culture. The "traitor Fang Zhuo" in "Dongya Daily" was directly used in Chinese characters, and the following content was specially translated.

"LG's reaction is so big and so intense, it's like stepping on their tail." Fang Zhuo shook his head and sighed, "The problem is, I'm not the first one to step up, obviously it was Apple who stepped on it first, Apple stepped on it, and I stepped on it." no?"

Liu Zonghong could not give an answer.

LG Electronics is indeed treated unfairly. Mr. Fang is just being angry and not taking any other actions, which is really kind to others.

"Tomorrow, ah no, in the afternoon, let the company sue LG's touch-screen phone in China. Isn't it going to enter the mainland market in June? Try to prevent it from entering." Fang Zhuo remembered the actual measures.

Liu Zonghong took back the words in his heart.

Well, the boss is different from LG. The boss is fair. If you wronged me, I will sue you. It is very fair.

Seeing that Mr. Fang really had no other orders, he picked up his laptop, left the president's office, and urgently dealt with LG's affairs. The first thing he had to do was initiate a domestic lawsuit.

What? LG's new phone has not been released in China yet?

It doesn't matter, Mr. Fang said that he wants to sue, so when he comes in, he will sue as soon as possible.

With the departure of the secretary, Fang Zhuo was not disturbed by any emotions.

It's just some media reports from neighboring countries. If they can really influence the choice of the local market, they are willing to gamble and admit defeat. There is nothing to say.

Fang Zhuo continued to deal with his work.

On this day, the president of LG Huaxia was interviewed by Huaxia's media again, but there was not much fancy content that did not stir up any splashes.

Even the question that Zhihu likes to carry foreign reports was suppressed with a slight ripple.

Cold treatment, cold treatment can be.

Fang Zhuo originally thought that this matter would stop here, and he only needed to pay attention to Nokia's possible response. After all, the head of LG Electronics also came, scolded, and guided public opinion, so what else?
As a result, on the last day of this month, what surprised him the most was that he received an inquiry from the diplomatic line.

On April 4, a symposium on trade, diplomacy, and business was held in Seoul, South Korea. Both LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics attended. They talked about a recent patent case that caused an uproar in Korean public opinion.

Contact and inquiries through informal channels followed.

LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, the names in front of these two companies are the big names and the behemoths.

For example, Samsung Group, whose revenue accounted for 15% of South Korea’s GDP last year, and LG Group is also a large conglomerate with businesses in electronics, chemistry, communications, and finance, and they all have a strong influence.

This influence is not just a numerical performance of revenue.

For example, Fang Zhuo considered investing in Germany and sought better investment conditions. When he actually did it, he gathered a group of people from the Yangtze River Delta to do economic and commercial exchange activities. This is not limited to an investment in ice cores. Digital power.

LG and Samsung use this influence to special channels to exert pressure.

Fang Zhuo was really surprised this time. He never expected that LG or Samsung, which helped out, would do this for the second Yike who initiated a patent lawsuit.

Fair, fair, fair?
"Normal patent disputes, everything is in accordance with the procedure." Fang Zhuo's response was normal, neither excited nor backed down, "It's just market competition, and they will all return to the market."

So much for informal inquiries.

Mr. Fang is right, this matter is in accordance with the procedure, Yi Ke was infringed, and he reacted according to the procedure, should he also call him a traitor after being contacted?

No reason to pressure, right?

Just go through the procedure and ask Fang Jianxiong casually, that's all.

　I can't write the plot in May 08, so I can only write it down.

　　One is scale, and the other is worrying about hurting emotions. If possible, I will write about it in the future, and I will read it when I am willing to read it.
