Park Jin Hyuk smiled and did not answer her, but continued to ask Kim Jun Woo:

"How's the situation in South America?"

"South America still considers it a seasonal respiratory disease. The number of cases is increasing, but there are no specific statistics yet."

"Um……"

"President Mao judged that the spread of the epidemic is probably unavoidable."

"Hey~, should I be sad? Or happy?"

Park Jin Hyuk asked again:

“Has it spread to Europe?”

"It has spread there, and Europe is still using Bidafil for treatment."

"Hasn't the virus mutated?"

Jin Junyu tried to lower his voice.

"The current situation is that the virus variant and the Paris flu are spreading at the same time, so the problem of virus mutation has not yet attracted everyone's attention."

Han Ji-yeon asked in surprise:

"Is the Paris flu going to be prevalent again?"

Park Jin Hyuk sent Kim Jun Woo back to his seat and told Han Ji Yeon what had happened.

After hearing this, Han Ji-yeon was extremely surprised.

"It must be kept secret from outside."

"Why?"

"This is just our judgment at the moment..."

"Hasn't it been confirmed?"

"This is a judgment we reached after analysis and is not based on sufficient facts."

"It's not to develop a vaccine first, so..."

"There are reasons for this, but not entirely. It's like a gamble. If you succeed, you can make a lot of money. If you fail, you have to find a way to minimize the loss. That's why I choose not to make it public."

Han Ji-yeon didn't say anything else.

She didn't fully understand what Park Jin Hyuk said, and felt that he was too business-oriented and even a little cold-blooded.

As the wedding was drawing to a close, Park Jin Hyuk said to Han Ji Yeon:

"I don't have any idea about weddings, so I'll leave our wedding to you."

It is certainly a good thing to make your own decisions, but Han Ji-yeon feels that he is too hands-off.

The wedding was over and a dinner was held at the wedding ceremony site.

DS Electronics' new mobile phone became a hot seller once it was launched on the market.

The packages specially designed by DS Communications for mobile phones have also received positive feedback from consumers, further promoting the sales of mobile phones.

Due to the shortage of supply, consumers have to wait for a week to receive the phone after placing an order.

In Park Jin Hyuk's office, President Choo Kwang Soo is reporting on the situation.

"As of yesterday, shipments reached 1 million units."

"When was the last time a DS phone was this popular?"

“It was seven years ago.”

"Although the price isn't high and the profit is thin, at least we're not losing money, right?"

Qiu Guangzhu said excitedly:

"Yes, we didn't expect to make much money. We would be happy if we could reduce the 300 billion loss from last quarter. However, based on the current trend, we have a good chance of turning a profit."

"I heard it's selling well overseas, but the domestic market is limited after all."

"Our mobile phone has successfully penetrated the low-end overseas market and we've already received orders for 5 million units. To meet these demands, we've reactivated a production line that had been idle for years. We expect production to resume during the Spring Festival holiday. This is all thanks to your effective leadership."

The business that had been lagging behind finally saw hope.

"Thank you for the compliment. I didn't do anything."

"You helped us think outside the box. To be honest, I also tried to change the status quo, but it was too difficult."

"You guys are doing a great job. You can't be obsessed with luxury and high-end models anymore."

"My only concern now is if the mobile phone gives consumers the impression of being cheap, will it have a negative impact on the home appliance business?"

"I understand your concerns, but the purpose of running a business is to make a profit. We can't just stand by and watch the mobile phone business lose trillions of yuan (about 5.3 billion RMB) every year just for the sake of face. We must survive first before we have a chance to return to the high-end market."

Qiu Guangzhu nodded.

DS's home appliance business has successfully created a high-end image in the minds of consumers. In order to echo this, the company has determined the same strategy for its mobile phone business.

But the product itself is not high-end, it is just priced high, which makes no sense.

In South Korea, low-end mobile phones used to be imported, and domestic manufacturers were unwilling to lower their standards and compete in the low-end market. DS Electronics took the lead in changing this situation.

The new phone was superior to similar products on the market in terms of performance and its novel design created a sensational effect.

At this time, President Qiu emphasized again:

“Thanks to your advice, we were able to achieve this result.”

"You are too modest. You have taken a gratifying step, but we cannot stop there. Even if it is a low-end phone, we must strive to create an ultimate experience for users."

"Please rest assured, we have divided our product lines into two: one is high-end, and the other is low-end to meet basic needs. We will continue to work hard and strive to create a product with sales exceeding 100 million yuan as soon as possible."

“I hope to see that day soon.”

"Please continue to give us guidance in the future."

"Ah~, there's no such thing as guidance."

"I hope to come to you often to ask for instructions and report to you in the future. Is that okay with you?"

Park Jin Hyuk stared at Choo Kwang Soo.

Within the DS Group, management can be divided into three categories.

One category is those who follow Chairman Park Joon-man, the second category is Park Jin-hyuk's princelings, and the other category is those who have no faction or sect and do not stand on any side.

Qiu Guangzhu belongs to the third category. He was able to become the president not because of Park Kyung-man's support, but because of his hard work.

Above his head, his value is also shown.

[50 billion (approximately 265 million RMB)]

Of course, Park Jin Hyuk would not turn a blind eye to his proactive goodwill.

"When DS Group was first established, my grandfather had a habit of having breakfast with some of his employees every morning. Those who had breakfast with him later became presidents of subsidiaries and became the cornerstones of DS's growth and development."

Park Jin Hyuk continued:

"Although President Qiu is already the president, he still needs to consolidate his position. I am willing to support you. I believe that you will not be satisfied with the status quo and will leave a lasting legacy in the history of DS Electronics."

Qiu Guangzhu immediately replied:

"I am willing to work hard under your leadership to build DS Electronics into a first-class enterprise."

"I believe you can do it, please."

Park Jin Hyuk extended his hand first.

Qiu Guangzhu leaned over and tightly grasped the olive branch handed over by Park Jin Hyuk with both hands.

After President Qiu left, Director Kim Bong-joo of the Distribution Division came to Park Jin-hyuk's office.

"You're looking for me?"

"Please take a seat."

Director Kim sat down nervously opposite Park Jin Hyuk.
