Then, Li Dachang explained the whole story.
Seoul police were shocked. "Such a big company as Samsung, their methods are really dirty."
However, they are professionals. Even though they know such a big scoop, they won't tell anyone. Absolutely not!
The next day, all the major television stations, newspapers and magazines in South Korea reported on this shocking case of murder in a business competition.
The Seoul Police Chief was furious and summoned all the officers in charge of the case, launching into a tirade of abuse.
"Do you even realize how big of an impact this has been?! Do you all want to quit? You dare to go around spreading rumors and gossiping about Samsung! Whoever said it, step forward! If no one steps forward, all of you will have your bonuses for this year docked!"
Several police officers looked dejected, but none of them stepped forward.
Who would dare to stand up? If they don't admit it, they'll only lose their bonus, but if they do, they might lose their life!
Moreover, to the best of their ability, they really didn't talk to those reporters outside about these things. At most, they talked to people in the police station, and they specifically told them not to tell anyone else.
Who knew that after just one night, almost the entire city of Seoul would know about it.
At this moment, the entrance to Samsung Electronics' headquarters building was already crowded with reporters.
"Hello, could Chairwoman Lee Jung-seo please come out and explain this murder case stemming from business competition?"
Are all Samsung Electronics employees murderers?
Is Samsung Electronics really willing to do anything to make money?
Fortunately, Lee Jung-seo was prepared, and Samsung Electronics' legal team came forward.
“We are Samsung Electronics’ legal team. If any of you continue to spread rumors about Samsung Electronics, we will record it now and file a lawsuit against you.”
Sure enough, the force of that one sentence instantly overwhelmed the reporters.
Then, one of the lawyers took a document out of his bag.
"This is the hospital's diagnosis for Li Dachang. Li Dachang suffers from a serious mental illness, so his murder may have been caused by his condition. This matter has not yet reached a final trial in court, so please do not make any unfounded speculations."
But the reporters present all knew that this was just a fig leaf for Samsung. How could someone with a mental illness be a senior executive at Samsung?
However, no one was foolish enough to break ties with Samsung on the spot, after all, they were just ordinary people.
However, the case of murder caused by Samsung's business competition against Xiaomi has spread rapidly online and quickly reached China.
Chinese netizens expressed their outrage at this.
"Damn, I knew Koreans were shameless, but I didn't expect them to be this shameless. They actually drove their car into Lin's shop. Why don't you drive your car into Lin himself?"
"Upstairs, do you really not want Lin Gou to live?"
"Ahem, no, no, I just said it offhand and accidentally blurted out what I was thinking."
"To be honest, Samsung phones are nowhere near as good as Xiaomi phones. Even without this incident, I wouldn't have bought a Samsung."
"I was planning to get a new phone, but I couldn't buy a Jinmi phone. I was thinking of waiting to see if the Samsung Galaxy Z could be bought, but it seems I don't have to wait anymore. The Xiaomi Mi 3 is also a great option."
"Support Xiaomi, boycott Samsung!"
Suddenly, sales of Samsung phones in Chinese stores plummeted, with many stores having not a single customer even during the day.
Lee Jung-seo had already been summoned back to Samsung headquarters and given a severe dressing-down. If it weren't for his last-minute attempt to cover up his mental illness diagnosis, he would have already been dismissed from his position by Samsung headquarters.
When Li Zhenxi saw the sales reports for the past two days, her face turned ashen. Sales in the Chinese market had plummeted by 80%, and even in the South Korean domestic market, sales had dropped by 20%.
"Damn it! That Li Dachang deserves to die!"
However, he doesn't have time to deal with Li Dachang's affairs right now; he needs to quickly do crisis public relations.
Three days later, the Xiaomi flagship store in Seoul officially opened, and Lin Chen personally came to Seoul to cut the ribbon.
Just before the ribbon-cutting ceremony was about to begin, to everyone's surprise, Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jung-seo showed up in person.
"Haha, congratulations, Mr. Lin! I didn't expect you to come in person for the opening of such a small store."
"Welcome! We hope that Samsung, a local giant, will continue to support us in the future."
"Haha, definitely, definitely."
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Li Zhenxi found Lin Chen and whispered something to him.
"Mr. Lin, could you please do me a favor?"
"Oh? Chairman Li actually needs my help with something?"
"Isn't this because one of our employees has a mental illness, which caused a misunderstanding between Samsung and Xiaomi? So I would like to ask Mr. Lin to help clarify this misunderstanding."
Lin Chen smiled.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, there's no need to clarify it. Everyone understands."
Li Zhenxi understood from Lin Chen's words that he was asking for benefits.
"In this way, Samsung Electronics will offer a 10% discount on all screens it supplies to Xiaomi in the future."
"Hmm? Chairman Li, you're being too polite."
"Of course, of course. So, does that mean Mr. Lin agrees?"
"President Li, I must toast you for attending the opening ceremony of our Xiaomi flagship store."
As he spoke, Lin Chen waved his hand, and An Rou brought over a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.
Then Lin Chen poured himself a shallow glass of wine, and then filled another glass to the brim.
"President Li, let me toast you."
Li Zhen looked at the full glass of red wine in front of her with a very unpleasant expression. Lin Chen was clearly trying to make her drink and apologize.
Only after I drink this glass of red wine will our previous agreement stand; otherwise, there's no point in discussing it further.
Li Zhenxi is a well-known figure in the global mobile phone industry. How dare you, Lin Chen, humiliate me like this?
However, if he cannot quickly resolve the impact of the previous events, and sales in the Chinese market continue to decline, his position as chairman of Samsung Electronics might be revoked by his family, leaving him with nothing.
drink!
Li Zhenxi picked up her wine glass and downed the red wine in one gulp.
He didn't care at all that the red wine spilled from the corner of his mouth stained his white shirt, which was worth millions of Korean won.
"Okay, it's a pleasure to work with you."
At this moment, many reporters had already rushed over due to Li Zhenxi's arrival.
The murder case involving Samsung's business competition with Xiaomi caused such a stir before, and now Lee Jung-seo has actually come to Xiaomi's flagship store in person. If a fight breaks out, won't the news explode?
Lin Chen kept his word. He walked to the entrance of the Xiaomi flagship store and spoke to the reporters outside.
"Hello everyone, I am Lin Chen, Vice President of Xiaomi Technology. Welcome to the Xiaomi flagship store."
