Although Li Jianxi rushed over in a hurry, Xiao Qi still accompanied his wife and children back to his home in Seoul. The next morning, he got in the car sent by Li Jianxi and went to his extremely luxurious home.
Regardless of Chinese or foreigners, when they are powerful, they usually like to decorate their homes luxuriously. On the one hand, it is to match their power, and on the other hand, it is also the need to enjoy life.
Stingy households like Mr. Buffett are, after all, only a minority among the minority.
Li Jianxi was also a romantic figure when he was young. As he got older, he also paid attention to some health care. Therefore, he did not go to Samsung headquarters every day. Most of the time, he was just responsible for grasping the general direction, and all specific matters were left to him.
Elite subordinates.
Usually, more often than not, it is the subordinates who come to ask him for advice.
Therefore, this large house has become a holy place that hundreds of thousands of Samsung employees yearn for.
If you want to make a name for yourself in Samsung, if you haven't been to the chairman's house once, there is no hope at all.
But for Xiao Qi, Li Jianxi's home was nothing special. Even after he entered, Li Jianxi's wife and his children at home would treat the distinguished guests with grand etiquette.
Sitting in the tatami room, Xiao Qi drank Korean tea, looked at the heavy snow falling outside, and said casually: "The weather conditions in South Korea in recent years should not be very good, right?"
"Who says it's not? There are many natural disasters during this period, sometimes there are snowstorms, sometimes heavy rains, or there may be another nationwide drought..." Li Jianxi nodded: "Fortunately, our country in South Korea is not based on agriculture, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago."
"A country with a small land area that mainly focuses on agriculture is a dead end." Xiao Qi said the truth from ancient times to the present, "But South Korea has done quite well, whether it is the shipbuilding industry, the steel industry, the automobile industry and the electronics industry
, are all world-leading. China has a lot to learn from you on this!"
Many Chinese people only know how to criticize South Korea as a stick, but they don't know that this stick has set aside China's distance in many aspects for decades.
For example, in the shipbuilding industry, China prides itself on being the second largest shipbuilding country in the world. Do you know who is number one?
South Korea!
Although it is only a civilian shipbuilding industry, think about how big South Korea is and how small its population is. Isn’t this worthy of admiration?
There is also the Korean steel industry. Korean steel is basically not much worse than Japanese steel. Posco is recognized as the most competitive steel company in the world. The quality of the steel produced by us is much better than that of some Chinese steel companies.
The fact that special steel must be imported has shown how low our level of high-precision steel manufacturing is!
Let’s not even talk about the automobile industry. In the past two years, Elantra, Sonata, Maxima, etc. have gradually occupied China’s domestic compact car market. Although they are still unable to compete with Japanese and German manufacturers, they will definitely let those who only know how to compete with foreign manufacturers.
People like FAW, Second Automobile Works, SAIC, GAC, etc., who are making money together, are ambitious and have a bright future.
In the electronics industry, although it has not been obvious in the past two years, Xiao Qi, who has experienced 2013, knows how strong Samsung and LG will be in the Chinese market in the future. Even Japanese manufacturers have been beaten to the point of vomiting blood and restructuring. Not to mention the domestic ones.
Those outdated companies that don’t care about technology and only know how to fight on price are gone.
Xiao Qi doesn't like Korea, and hates Japan even more.
But he had to admit that the two countries had their own reasons for becoming rich and powerful, and their success was not accidental.
We have been living in the dream of a "heavenly kingdom", always looking down on the two small foreign countries that were not even ants under our control a few hundred years ago, and even more disdainful of their achievements.
But I didn’t expect that things are no longer the same as before. Being behind means falling behind. If you want to regain your previous glory, you have no other choice but to work hard!
Xiao Qi has seen this clearly, so he will not ignore other people's achievements, but regard them as motivation for himself.
Li Jianxi was also surprised by Xiao Qi's mentality. In his mind, Chinese people are unwilling to face up to the achievements of Koreans, thinking that Koreans were servants before and will be servants now.
At the same time, Li Jianxi's admiration for Xiao Qi has reached a new level.
Being able to see yourself clearly is more important than being able to see others clearly.
Xiao Qi can frankly admit Hua Guo's shortcomings, which proves that Xiao Qi has an extremely clear mind, and this kind of person is the most difficult to deal with.
Smiling, Li Jianxi said: "Why don't you say, Mr. Qi, that China has innate advantages, with a vast and fertile land and rich products, so it won't be like us who have to weigh every meal of ribs? Also, Mr. Qi just now
The industries you mentioned, shipbuilding, steel and automobiles, all require a lot of oil! Can China's oil self-sufficiency rate reach 60%? South Korea imports almost 100%! And we are still the fourth largest oil importer in the world.
, the energy strategy is even more pitiful than Japan’s!”
Speaking of the three heroes of East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea account for almost 40% of global oil imports. China ranks second after the United States, Japan is third, and South Korea is fourth.
South Korea imports 2.2 million barrels of oil every day. Once there is any trouble in the oil, South Korea's stock market and finance will start to fluctuate, because they have no ability to resist risks at all!
Between this year and next year, due to the plummeting oil prices, South Korea has lost more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, which is almost the same as China.
With Xiao Qi in this life, China will naturally not suffer any more in this major oil change, but unless South Korea also has a reincarnation, they will still suffer a big loss!
Xiao Qi listened to Li Jianxi's words and didn't say much, but that didn't mean that Li Jianxi didn't continue to express his intentions.
Li Jianxi has already understood that people like Xiao Qi cannot be deceived by your tricks. It is better to cooperate honestly in order to obtain more benefits.
"Qishao, I know you have your own opinions on oil. Today's oil price has exceeded 116 US dollars per barrel. Do you think it will rise again in the future?" Li Jianxi asked straightforwardly.
"It will still rise." Xiao Qi replied.
"How high will it go? When will it end?" Li Jianxi continued to ask, "As you said, Qi Shao, will it not stop until 150 US dollars? Or, as Goldman Sachs predicts, it is likely to reach 180 US dollars.
The high of the dollar?”
"How can I judge so accurately?" Xiao Qi laughed, "President Li, I am not a god."
Li Jianxi saw Xiao Qi's hesitation and smiled slightly: "Qi Shao, we are all old friends. Is there anything else you can't say? Can't I, Li Jianxi, treat you badly?"
"Chairman Li, you and I are at ease, but I'm wondering, Samsung has nothing to do with the oil industry, right?" Xiao Qi counted on his fingers: "SK Group and Ssangyong Refining are in a line of their own, and Hyundai Petroleum is modern.
Caltex is foreign-owned, is Samsung also interested in the petrochemical industry?"
"Haha, I didn't expect Qi Shao to know so much about South Korea's oil companies! In fact, Samsung also has an oil company, but it's not a big one." Li Jianxi smiled calmly, "Although they have nothing to do with me, they were expensive some time ago.
I really appreciate the oil hoarding practices of China's PetroChina, Sinopec and CNOOC. Samsung is a Korean company, so it should naturally contribute to South Korea, so help them hoard more oil and use it at critical times.
It’s of great positive significance.”
Xiao Qi understood.
You must know that no country's oil giants are vegetarians, they are all masters of making waves. If Lee Kun-hee can continue to provide favors to these giants, then Samsung's foundation will become more solid.
To put it bluntly, it was just a transaction. Maybe it was these giants who entrusted Li Jianxi to ask Xiao Qi.
Seeing Xiao Qi thinking, Li Jianxi continued: "Of course, we will not let Qi Shao serve as a staff consultant in vain. If Qi Shao can help, then I will get the best reward for Qi Shao.
I believe that my old face is worthy of your trust, Mr. Qi, right?"
Nodding, the young man continued to fall into thought.
Due to the different national economic structure, South Korea cannot survive without importing oil every day, and it does not have the diversified development of Japan, so it cannot withstand the oil crisis even more than Japan. Every time, it will be cheated by the giants of the oil futures market.
money.
This is the tragedy of a pure oil importing country!!
If Xiao Qi helped them this time, South Korea would have lost at least more than 20 billion US dollars, which is reasonable.
Xiao Qi doesn't care about monetary rewards. The amount of money is meaningless to Xiao Qi. With skills and abilities, he can make money.
What he was wondering at this time was whether South Korea had the technology or companies he wanted.
If you ask Xiao Qi what he wants most from South Korea, he will bluntly say that he might as well give himself the entire electronics industry chain of Samsung.
But just thinking about it, I know it's impossible.
Not to mention the entire industry chain, even some of them are impossible!
Li Jianxi is more cunning and cunning than anyone else. He has spent more than 20 years building a unique overall hardware industry chain in the world. How could Xiao Qi take advantage of him?
There is no problem in letting him sell products from these industrial chains to Xiao Qi. Anyone who sells them will make money anyway. He is eager to use Xiao Qi's orders to strengthen technology research and development and improve his own strength.
What should I choose?
PS: South Korea ranks fourth among oil importers, which proves how developed their industry is! For such a small country to have such capabilities, it is indeed worth our efforts to catch up!
