Samsung's Leader is Very Humiliated

The next day, the sky in Hailing was scorching hot.

Just like the sales of the Origin Mobile. As a large number of phones were sold, many who received them were showcasing their newly purchased Origin Mobile through various channels.

With its advanced technology and excellent quality, the reputation of Origin Mobile continued to grow. It had already become a benchmark for Chinese mobile phones.

The Chinese media treated it like a holiday, as it was rare for a foreign product to be surpassed, and it boosted everyone's sense of pride.

Don't underestimate pride; at the same price and quality, Chinese people are still willing to support domestic products. Moreover, it surpassed many, and consumers have sharp eyes; they can tell who is good and who is bad.

Another piece of news was even more encouraging: Samsung announced that it would seek cooperation with Origin Company to upgrade its software. This news was also confirmed by Origin Company.

China and Korea are separated by a narrow strip of water, and the news was released in the morning, with the Samsung delegation arriving in Jinling in the afternoon.

Chu Feng also went to welcome the Samsung delegation.

This time, the Samsung delegation was from Samsung's headquarters, and it was Samsung's third-generation leader, Lee Jae-yong.

Lee Jae-yong, born in Korea in 1968, is the only son of Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee. He graduated from Seoul National University, pursued an MBA at Keio University in Japan, and obtained a doctorate from Harvard Business School in the USA. He is a major shareholder of Samsung Everland and the actual controller of Samsung Group.

Hearing that this person was leading the delegation, Chu Feng also showed a playful smile. If it were just a mobile phone cooperation, there would be no need for such a heavyweight figure to come.

As mentioned before, Samsung's status in Korea was well-known, so the status of this person in Korea could be imagined. This was no longer a simple company cooperation.

Lin Lin also reminded Chu Feng to be mindful of the boundaries.

Not long after, Lee Jae-yong's private jet arrived at Hailing Airport.

Chu Feng secretly complained that he also needed to get a private jet. Seeing everyone else with private jets, although his spaceship could easily outclass their private jets, and the technology was even better, he couldn't reveal it in public.

About ten minutes later, Chu Feng met the third-generation leader of the Samsung Group.

He had a typical Korean square face, wore rimless glasses, and under his side-parted hairstyle was a broad forehead. His eyebrows were slightly angled, his philtrum was deep, and his tightly pursed lips revealed a formal smile when he saw Chu Feng.

"Hello, Mr. Chu. I apologize for this unannounced visit; please don't be offended!"

Chu Feng shook the right hand extended by Lee Jae-yong.

"You're too kind. Welcome, Mr. Lee, to my home. I hope you have a pleasant time."

Soon after, in the banquet hall of the Haiyan Grand Hotel, both parties were seated.

The meal was filled with a warm atmosphere. Lee Jae-yong acted as if they were old friends. Although they couldn't communicate fluently, his words were appropriate, and there was no awkwardness; he could always find common ground, which made Chu Feng secretly sigh, this was true depth.

Both parties were very satisfied with the meal, but after arriving at the company, Lee Jae-yong proposed to communicate with Chu Feng first.

Chu Feng didn't know what Lee Jae-yong was planning, but he decided to play it by ear and listen to what he had to say.

"Mr. Chu, you must understand the reason for my visit to your company, right?"

As soon as they sat down, the translator relayed Lee Jae-yong's words, which made Chu Feng pause. Was he going to be this direct? Weren't they supposed to play coy and use tactics?

"Aren't we discussing cooperation on mobile phones and the development and upgrade of software?" Chu Feng said somewhat evasively.

Lee Jae-yong smiled meaningfully and didn't seem to mind Chu Feng's pretense.

"If it were just about the mobile phone business, there would be no need for me to come; a divisional president would suffice."

Look at him, he only needed a divisional president, while he, the poor guy, had to handle everything personally (Zheng Yun cried himself to sleep in the restroom).

Chu Feng secretly complained in his heart.

"Then, may I ask the purpose of your visit, Mr. Lee?"

Chu Feng smiled at Lee Jae-yong, making Lee Jae-yong unable to figure him out. Was he genuinely clueless or just pretending?

However, considering the undercurrents within his family, Lee Jae-yong decided not to play games anymore.

"Electronics, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence are all areas where we can cooperate!"

Lee Jae-yong said calmly, looking Chu Feng in the eye.

Hearing Lee Jae-yong's cooperation proposals, Chu Feng knew what was going on; it was as he expected.

Samsung had an unyielding pursuit of technology. Samsung's rise began with continuously learning from other technologies, then developing them themselves, and finally surpassing their learning targets.

At that time, Samsung Electronics' strategic goal was not only to be the most successful enterprise but also to build Samsung into a leading brand in the global electronics industry.

To achieve this, Samsung set a most formidable competitor, vowing to strive to catch up and eventually surpass it. That target was Sony. Because in the Fortune Global 500 rankings, Sony was the only electronics company ranked above Samsung Electronics, the undisputed global leader.

Before 1997, Samsung Electronics even had to purchase chips from Sony. But after setting Sony as its target for surpassing, Samsung spared no expense in building its strong R&D team, humbly learning from the Japanese in terms of technology, and sending technical personnel to learn from technologically strong Japanese companies like Sony, eventually breaking through the technological barriers.

Samsung had become a world-class technological innovation company, creating a series of cutting-edge technologies in numerous fields, including mobile phones, handheld computing devices, flat-panel displays, and ultra-thin laptops.

To surpass Sony, Samsung Electronics not only made frequent moves in areas such as digital cameras, displays, and audio but also launched the fiercest attack on Sony's weakest point – mobile phones.

Due to Sony's mobile phones' lack of innovation and poor management leading to losses, Sony sought to merge with the mobile phone division of Ericsson, the former global mobile phone giant, and established Sony Ericsson. However, Samsung still surpassed Sony Ericsson with excellent performance in 2002. In the global mobile phone market, the most popular phones recognized by consumers were not Sony but Samsung, completely overturning the picture of Sony as a top player in consumer electronics.

Since 1998, Samsung Electronics has won 17 industrial design awards, becoming the company with the most awards for five consecutive years. The total number of awards was on par with Apple.

Shortly after, Samsung Electronics won 5 awards in the 2002 USA Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA). This annual industrial design award, presented by the Industrial Designers Society of America, is one of the most important awards in the global industrial design community.

Samsung tied with Apple for first place, being the company with the most awards in this year's Industrial Design Awards, ahead of IBM, NEC, Canon, Sony, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, and Fujitsu. This achievement proved that Samsung Electronics' leading design philosophy had gained global recognition, taking a solid step towards establishing itself as a world-class enterprise.

Therefore, since its inception, Samsung Company's product development strategy evolution has roughly gone through four stages: "copycat strategy," "imitation strategy," "catch-up strategy with technology leaders," and "technology leadership strategy."

First, enter the market in a shorter period at a lower cost.

Then, digest and absorb external technologies, striving to upgrade its own products, market, and technology matching.

They then used advanced technology to develop new products in the introduction phase of their life cycle, capturing the mid-to-high-end market.

Ultimately leading cutting-edge technology and dominating the high-end market!

Now that they've seen Origin Company's terrifying technological strength, how could they possibly hold back?

Moreover, the launch of a high-tech product signifies that the company possesses even more advanced technological capabilities, thus Origin Company's technological reserves are even more astonishing!

This is because no company would release all of its research and development achievements at once. If their technology were to be cracked by others, lacking leading technology would be tantamount to seeking their own demise.

That's why Lee Jae-yong personally came over, wanting to probe Chu Feng's capabilities and see if Origin Company was truly qualified to cooperate with him.

"Heh, cooperation is possible? But cooperation is about equality. I can provide the technology, what can you offer?"

Chu Feng asked Lee Jae-yong back, his expression unreadable.

"Our Samsung Group includes 26 subsidiaries and several other legal entities, with nearly 300 legal entities and offices established in nearly 70 countries and regions. We have a total of 196,000 employees, and our business spans numerous fields such as electronics, finance, machinery, and chemistry."

He stated this as if it were a very ordinary matter, but the slightly passionate tone revealed his pride!

"Furthermore, Samsung Group has established a leading position in technological fields such as semiconductors, LCD, and communications."

After saying this, he paused briefly before continuing.

"We possess our own R&D team, comprehensive R&D channels, a large number of loyal and outstanding employees, and we have top-tier manufacturing processes. That's why we are a qualified partner!"

Lee Jae-yong said with full confidence.

"Oh? Really?" Chu Feng retorted. Lee Jae-yong's expression turned ugly, and just as he was about to say something, Chu Feng spoke again.

"R&D team? Not to mention anything else, have you researched any of the technologies within the Origin Mobile? Have you cracked the Origin System? Do you have the 1nm manufacturing process? And these are just a small part of Origin Company's technological reserves, do you know that?"

Chu Feng said with a hint of helplessness, a mix of disdain and resignation.

Would Bill Gates brag to a stranger about how rich he was? There was no need. The gap was simply too vast. If Chu Feng hadn't been worried about the world's reaction, the technology he could have revealed would have terrified many.

Lee Jae-yong swore he had never felt so powerless and filled with grief in his entire life, because everything Chu Feng said was true.

Ever since they got their hands on the Origin Mobile, after painstakingly disassembling it, their company's top scientific researchers were like ancient people encountering a mobile phone for the first time.

Apart from the battery, which was ordinary, they understood nothing about the integrated screen technology or the CPU process, nor could they replicate it.

Even the back panel of the Origin Mobile, which changed color, was only identified as being made of an alloy of multiple materials. As for how it changed color or the principle behind it, they couldn't figure it out at all! Not to mention the manufacturing process.

In fact, Lee Jae-yong also complained about the manufacturer of the Origin Mobile. With so much advanced technology, even if just a portion was given to Samsung, it could be utilized to a greater extent in other areas. For instance, the phone itself could completely crush Apple. Not to mention those cutting-edge technologies, like the semiconductor manufacturing process that reached 1nm!

To date, the highest precision for semiconductor materials could only reach around 7 nanometers. This is because many transistors are integrated onto the chip, and these transistors control a lot of current. If the size of the transistors gradually decreases, the channel between the source and drain within them will also shorten accordingly. When the channel shortens to a certain extent, due to quantum tunneling effects within the chip, the transistors will lose some of their functions. If transistors exceed 7 nanometers, tunneling effects will occur, so theoretically, it's impossible to go below 7nm.

As for the 5nm manufacturing process, they had only heard of achievements from certain laboratories reaching 1nm, where transistors were made from carbon nanotubes doped with molybdenum disulfide. However, this lacked commercial value and was merely at the stage of laboratory technological breakthroughs.

But the 5nm technology in the Origin Mobile was widely applied, and the manufacturing process was incomparable. Who knew if Origin Company already had a 1nm transistor manufacturing process and simply hadn't released it as technological reserve?

There were so many areas where this could be exploited. They couldn't understand how China dared to apply this process to just a small mobile phone. If it were applied to computers or similar devices, wouldn't that be a revolutionary development?

Lee Jae-yong had no idea that China was already using quantum computers, and the technological achievements within them were far superior to this Origin Mobile. How could they possibly pay attention to this?

Lee Jae-yong felt utterly frustrated... Was there truly no way?
