Li Zailong did feel a huge pressure.

Although Korean stars still play the most important role in the global industrial chain, pressure from the outside and inside is increasing day by day.

The external pressure comes from Apple's strength, the impact of other Android manufacturers, and the underlying manipulation of Google.

In recent years, Korean stars have developed very rapidly because of the right bet on smartphones. In 2010, Korean stars shouted slogans to surpass Noji, and they were regarded as a joke by everyone at that time, but today's slogans have become reality.

In the first quarter of this year alone, Korean Star's mobile phone shipments reached 93.8 million units, of which 42.2 million smart phones, surpassing Noji's 82.7 million. The most important thing is that only 11.9 million of these sales were smart phones.

The absolute overlord of the feature phone era has been left behind by Korean stars and the times.

As for the strongest Apple, it only ships 35.1 million units, so Korean stars are now the "top leader" of global mobile phone manufacturers!

But this position is not stable and even a little precarious.

On the one hand, Apple is working hard on patent rights and has filed a patent lawsuit with Korean stars. On the other hand, it is working on its own chips, preparing to get rid of its dependence on Korean stars.

The Huaguo mobile phone market has already had four major manufacturers, Huawei, Huaxing, Fantasy and Coolpad. Now an aggressive Xingrui emerged, which has caused Korean stars to face very strong challenges in the world's largest smartphone market.

On the other hand, Guo Jiaming from the beautiful island has already spoken out to form a global alliance to fight against Korean stars together.

The greater pressure comes from the operating system. The BADA platform developed by Hanxing itself has proven to be a failure product. It has completely abandoned its own research and development, which means that they will rely entirely on Google's Android system in the future.

All fools know that the core of the information age is not the hardware that Korean stars are proud of, but software. When all Korean stars’ innovations and products revolve around the Android system, it means that they have no say in the core element of the operating system. Once Google decides to make its own mobile phone one day, it will be a huge threat to Korean stars.

Faced with so many challenges and counterattacks, Korean stars have to put away their usual arrogance and think about counterattack methods.

In addition to external pressure, Korean stars also have internal disputes, and it is the most troublesome housework.

In February, Li Zailong's aunt and uncle filed a lawsuit against his father, Li Jianxi, the current chairman of the Korean Star Group, asking for a group shares worth hundreds of millions of magnesium.

If Lee Kun-hee loses the case, the equity of the Korean Star Group he holds will be reduced to 16.63%, which means that he will lose his position as the largest shareholder, resulting in differentiation within the Korean Star!

This situation has not happened on Chaodao. The once glorious Hyundai Group was finally divided into three because the founder's three sons fought for power and profit. As a result, the losses were heavy and they were in a slump...

Taking advantage of the civil strife of Korean stars, some of the upper classes of the island who had long been uneasy about the growth of Korean stars also took action and called for restrictions on the chaebol families such as Korean stars.

As the heir appointed by Lee Kun-hee, Lee Jae-long certainly would not allow such a thing to happen, so he urgently needed various internal and external help to help him solve the current complex situation.

But looking at the whole world, Li Zailong looked at it at first sight and was all a fucking enemy, without a single friend!

Korean stars treat themselves in the mobile phone circle similar to Chaodao’s treatment on the Internet. Anything that happens to Chaodao is ridiculed and there is no comfort...

In fact, it was not all ridiculous. There was a brother next to him watching the fun with a stick, and a father who had collected protection fees was yawning across the sea...

Li Zailong looked around and realized that the price of arrogance over the years has come to repay it now.

He looked around unwillingly and finally found a partner who could win over, namely Li Rui.

To be honest, Li Rui doesn't want to pay attention to Korean stars, but who has made Xingrui not have the ability to produce important parts by himself at present? Korean stars cannot give up this relationship within at least three to five years.

So Li Rui said quickly: "I don't think Korean stars need to worry. Although both Apple and Korean stars are positioned at the high-end market, there are still big differences in specific target customers, especially the different experiences on the underlying system, which actually makes you not very direct competitive. As for HTC, their recent models have failed continuously and are already in trouble, so they have to hold Apple's thighs. I think HTC is not a problem."

Li Zailong said lightly: "I have never regarded HTC as an opponent. What I worry most now is actually Xingrui."

Li Rui laughed and said, "When did Korean stars become so unconfident? Xingrui focuses on the low-end market, and there is no overlap with the Korean stars' market!"

That being said, Li Rui was heartbroken and thought, "You must not cut off your offerings for me!"

Xiao Mi in her previous life was because of the supply cuts from Korean stars that her output was still unable to rise, and was criticized by netizens as "playing with monkeys".

Xingrui is currently in a strong momentum. If Korean stars suddenly take the opportunity to remove the firewood from the bottom of the fire, there will be a big problem!

Fortunately, Li Zailong changed the subject and said: "Korean Star has always regarded Xingrui as an important partner. We will be very happy that Xingrui has developed well."

It was so fucking nonsense. Li Rui whispered her heart, but said, "You are right. Xingrui hopes to develop together with Korean stars and make progress together!"

Li Jae-long said: "Xiaguo is the third largest market for Korean stars except for Ou Magnesium. Our goal in the future is to develop Xiaguo into the largest market. Although Eu Magnesium has a high economic level and stronger consumption capacity, Xiaguo's economic growth rate is faster, and the potential development space is far greater than that of Eu Magnesium market. Korean stars' products are positioned at high-end, while Xingrui's products are positioned at mid- and low-end. If we can join forces, we should be able to get more benefits. What do you think?"

Li Rui smiled and said, "Of course it's OK!"

In fact, Xingrui's current situation is also somewhat subtle.

Although Xiao Mi no longer exists, Huawei has gradually changed the previous contract machine model since the second half of last year and tried to enter the smartphone market.

This is a super powerful opponent, and it happens to overlap with Xingrui's target market. The two sides will inevitably start a bloody battle in the future.

If we can join forces with Korean Star to obtain a stable and high-quality supply of parts, it will definitely greatly enhance Xingrui's competitiveness.

The only risk is that in a few years, Huaguo and Chaodao will fall into a period of ice time due to certain events...

Li Rui gritted his teeth and took the least rights of both evils. Let’s talk about the future. If the olive branch that Korean stars finally gave away was unreasonable if they didn’t catch it!
Chapter completed!
