Chapter 488 The hard-hearted businessman
Masayoshi Son is very famous in Japan and South Korea, and has a lot of investments. His most important industry is SoftBank, which is originally a huge investment bank. Zhou Liwen doesn't know if Masayoshi Son has made any ideas before, but judging from his current attitude, at least he has made plans.
Unlike Zhou Liwen, Zhou Liwen only made a passive counterattack against Samsung Group from the beginning, and so far he is just trying to influence Samsung Group and control the future market of the entire smartphone. Masayoshi Son is a big shot who can't spit out his bones. Today he actively proposed to support the listing of the Internet Group, but in exchange, he targeted Samsung Group.
In Zhou Liwen's opinion, Masayoshi Son has a good plan. It is true that because Zhou Liwen divested the overall listing plan of Alipay in the Internet group, Masayoshi Son, as one of the major shareholders, will suffer short-term interests. But in the long run, Masayoshi Son is not at a loss, because even if Alipay is not listed alone in the future, he will still get generous returns based on the proportion of shares held by Masayoshi Son.
"Dr. Sun means..." Zhou Liwen asked with a smile. Although he had guessed the other party's intention, he had to hear how the other party answered such a big thing in person.
Son Masayoshi smiled frankly and said, "Lee Kun-hee is now a tiger locked in a cage. Lee Meng-hee is not afraid of being old. Lee Jae-hyun is short-sighted and very happy to be successful. As for Lee Jae-chong's progress now, he still cannot escape the problem of lack of overall situations. In addition, he is a man who is looking forward to the front and back and forth and lacks courage. There is no one in the Samsung Lee family who can really suppress the scene, not to mention that they are busy with internal fighting. Haha, in this case, the famous Samsung Group is equivalent to a seductive peach, and it is so mature that it makes people want to reach out."
"You mean you are planning to reach out?" Zhou Liwen asked back.
"Why not?" Son smiled: "Of course, if Jay Chou had this idea, I could take the initiative to give in. After all, although Samsung Group is tempting, it is necessary to compete with Jay Chou. Such a transaction will inevitably lead to both losses, and even if it succeeds, it will be worth the loss."
Zhou Liwen smiled and shook her head: "You don't need to say this. You know I don't mean that way to Samsung."
Masayoshi Son laughed and said happily: "It is precisely because of this that I have this idea. Jay Chou, don't you think that if I mastered the Samsung Group, then you can also achieve the goals you need? Instead of cooperating with Li Zai Chronicle, it is better to cooperate with me, after all, we have a foundation for cooperation. At least, my reputation is much better than that of the Samsung Li family."
Zhou Liwen did not answer his words immediately for a moment, and his eyes gradually shifted to the slightly wavy surface of the water. He thought about it in a daze.
Masayoshi Son was very clear about what he said. He knew very well that Zhou Liwen could not take over Samsung as a foreigner, and he knew very well what Zhou Liwen needed in the Samsung group strategy. Since this is the case, why not let him Masayoshi Son become Samsung's new owner? At least Masayoshi Son is a very suitable candidate in his identity and status. He can replace the Samsung Lee family, so that Zhou Liwen can achieve his goal. Even compared to his cooperation with the Samsung Lee family, the cooperation between Sun Zhou seems to be more reliable.
So, should I agree or refuse? Zhou Liwen hesitated for a moment. When Zhou Liwen was considering it, Masayoshi Son did not urge him and continued to catch his fish leisurely.
After a long time, Zhou Liwen smiled, and he finally nodded and said, "Yes."
"This is really good news." Son laughed without surprise.
At this time, Zhou Liwen raised her finger and said, "But I also have my conditions."
"Speaking"
Zhou Liwen said: "I will not interrupt Li Zai Chuang's cooperation, after all, this is also a business. Similarly, cooperation with Director Sun will also be carried out. From my opinion, there is no conflict. At least, I have to guarantee my own interests and achieve my goals. You know, I have invested a lot of energy and financial resources in Samsung's case, so it is absolutely impossible to give up my current plan. At most, I can only make some adjustments and cooperation."
"I can understand." Hearing this, Masayoshi Son nodded seriously: "In Chinese terms, you mean that the Eight Immortals cross the sea and each show their magical powers. Whether it is Li Zai Cang, Li Zai Xian, or the old guy behind them, or even me, they all depend on their own methods? Similarly, you will not refuse my purchase?"
"Yes," Zhou Liwen-zheng said in a key voice, and said: "In addition, before the incident is clear, I will deny the cooperation with you so as not to happen to some unpredictable situations."
Masayoshi Son thought about it and nodded slightly. Zhou Liwen's meaning was very clear. It was okay to ask him to cooperate secretly, but he could not announce the relationship between the two parties to the public. Of course, this was just a matter for Samsung Group. After all, Zhou Liwen is a foreigner, and another extremely xenophobic country in South Korea. Once the Korean people learn about these situations, even if Zhou Liwen gets what he needs in the end, he will still be disgusted and abandoned by the Koreans. This is the result that Zhou Liwen is absolutely unwilling to see.
Although Zhou Liwen is a bit opportunistic or good at doing this, he does have his reasons, and Masayoshi Son admits this. More importantly, if Masayoshi wants to take over Samsung, he must have Zhou Liwen's help to get the greatest possibility. For the ultimate purpose, giving up these subsections is not unacceptable to Masayoshi Son. After weighing the pros and cons, Masayoshi Son nodded and agreed to Zhou Liwen's request.
Son Masayoshi's agreement also made Zhou Liwen secretly relieved. Compared with Samsung Group, which has already had many conflicts and constant internal strife, Son is a more difficult opponent than Lee Kun-hee. Chow Liwen does not want to break up with him in this matter, and from the overall perspective, Son Masayoshi's entry into Samsung is also beneficial to Chow Liwen.
As for the request made by Zhou Liwen, he would not refuse with Son's courage and vision, and the result is the same. Then again, if Son could really replace the Samsung Lee family, then what will happen to Lee Kun-hee and his son? Zhou Liwen never thought about this. For him, business is business. From the beginning, he did not owe anything from the Samsung Lee family. Instead, the other party owed Zhou Liwen. In Zhou Liwen's mind, Lee Kun-hee and his son, including Lee Meng-hee and his son, were just his former partners, and their friendship was not as loyal as possible. If the Lee family of Samsung Group really became history in the end, Zhou Liwen would only sigh a few words at most.
