Explanation: Why did Gou hate Samsung so much?

Terry Gou, the boss of Foxconn, recently pledged 3 billion yuan in personal equity loans, claiming to have officially launched a "Wolf operation" against Samsung. Mr Gou, who has long hated Samsung, described Samsung as "a villain who always stabbed his rivals in the back" and claimed that defeating the Korean company was his lifelong goal. What kind of "vendetta" can make a commercial magnate like Mr Gou out of anger? What is the relationship between Foxconn and Samsung? Is it a mere business interest dispute or a personal emotional conflict? Mr Gou has repeatedly fahen his words to death. Samsung Gou recently mortgaged personal equity loans 3 billion yuan, and announced the official launch against Samsung's "Wolf operation." Last month, Mr Gou personally campaigned for Apple's upcoming new iphone and downplayed Samsung's newly-listed flagship mobile Galaxy S3. [Detailed] Gou's hatred of Samsung for a long time, Guo himself repeatedly said in public that he hated Samsung, said that Samsung is supported by the Korean government family business, and then a great century enterprises. Mr Gou described Samsung as a villain who had always stabbed his rivals in the back, claiming that defeating the Korean company was his lifelong goal. [Detailed] comrade-in-arms anti-water: Samsung's informant to the company was fined 300 million euros Samsung in 2010 the helm of the Hon Hai Group (Foxconn parent company), the panel maker Chi Mei, led to the European Union fined 300 million euros. Mr Gou then denounced Samsung as a "small-report villain" and said it would make money from the Koreans. Since then, Mr Gou has often called Samsung "a villain who always stabbed behind rivals." At the end of 2010, the European Union sentenced "panel price manipulation Case", the world's four big panel companies LG, Chi Mei, friend Tatsu were fined, including the largest losses, the United States was fined 300 million euros, and the most shipments of Samsung because it acts as a "tainted witness" to avoid punishment. According to the EU, the survey showed that from 2001 to 2006, Qi Mei and friends and other Taiwan enterprises with Samsung, LG meeting 60 times, to discuss how to manipulate the panel price. The names of some of the people involved in the Chimei were also recorded in EU resolution documents. Samsung's reason for impunity is that Samsung confessed and exposed its peers during the EU's "tolerance notice" period. Mr Gou said Samsung had been fined by the European Union for manipulating prices, and once again the panel business should be counted as "recidivism", while the European Union was unfair because Samsung was a "stain witness". Mr Gou also stressed that the EU's shipments to Chimei were unreasonable. Chi Mei's largest customer, Samsung and LG shipments in Europe should not be counted. [Detailed] Samsung in the European Union sanctions issued after the decision to respect the verdict, the principal culprit because the prosecution meritorious is exempted from punishment, indeed let the punishment of the "little valet" have the reason to complain. But looking back at the whole episode, Chimei is also a disgraceful role, and Mr Gou should also reflect on whether his own business is truly blameless. Samsung to insult: Shanghonghai the face of Taiwan's panel, Samsung and other South Korean companies to use market leadership to suppress competitors, the practice has longMake Mr Gou's contempt. [In detail] Mr Gou said Samsung and LG had teamed up in 2008 to clamp down on Chi mei (Hon Hai zi) and friends, at that time, the two have been continuously purchasing Taiwan Enterprise Panel, the financial crisis immediately after the arrival of a large withdrawal of the single, Taiwan's panel industry losses, Chi Mei October shipments plummeted by 40%, and Samsung but the homeopathy took about 24.5% Market share, industry leading position continues to stabilize. Taiwan's industry insiders said that the cross-strait panel industry has been facing a survival crisis, because Samsung, LG is increasingly relying on market position, by means of non-market instruments to jointly suppress cross-strait enterprises. In fact, in addition to the panel industry, Taiwan's other industries have also suffered from Samsung crackdown. Samsung in the 2008 financial crisis for the expansion of research and development capabilities, the company dug out the core research and development of TSMC Liang Mengsong and a number of business backbone, leading to the current 18 nm process semiconductor business, TSMC's biggest competitor except Intel is Samsung. But in business, Samsung uses business rules and its own strong foundation to weaken rivals, this is also legitimate. Even the Taiwanese industry, which has been hit by Samsung, has been amazed at the strength of Samsung's ability to keep investing in its core areas. Samsung on the one hand mastered the mainstream products nearly 40% key components of production and pricing rights, on the other hand, deep brand and channel, and the main parity design route, in the global market is invincible. The biggest rival: the expansion of the Empire must confront Samsung's Hon Hai Group, which has just bought a near-half stake in the sharp-panel plant this year, with its large panel manufacturing company expanding to two. With the Chi Mei and sharp two main forces, Hon Hai has basically completed the panel business from low-end to high-end layout, but also mastered the independent production of home appliances products. However, Mr Gou's panel empire will continue to expand, and must cross Samsung's rival. Samsung recently integrated panel production enterprise Samsung Display employs nearly 40,000 people, the annual output value of nearly 160 billion yuan, is a big guy. [Detailed] not only in the panel area, Hon Hai to complete the transition from foundry to trading platform, Samsung are its biggest rivals. Samsung started from Apple Foundry, and then transformed its own brand, and the existing vertical integration from the core components to the terminal brand propped up a huge empire. After being the first in the foundry industry, Mr Gou also wants Foxconn to be a "vertically integrated" company with a higher profit margin, from parts to product design and branding. But market share is limited, and the more Samsung gets, the less it leaves Foxconn. So Mr Gou's relentless effort to crack down on Samsung is also laying the groundwork for Foxconn's transition to its own brand. Acting as Apple's hatchet: Mr Gou's biggest customer of the company is Foxconn, which has a 40% per cent share of Apple's supply chain, selling Apple's OEM iphone and ipad worldwide. Samsung is arguably Apple's biggest rival in smartphones and tablets, and Samsung's smartphone shipments have overtaken Nokia's ranking in the world, and the tablet business also has a certain impact on the ipad, whileComputer display screen and many other technologies, Samsung also walked in front of the industry, Apple is also more and more attention to this once-friendly generation of industry and commerce and parts providers, even at the shameless big dozen patent war sniper rival products listed. Apple's planned smart TV, once released, will go to war with Samsung in the television field, and Samsung is also waiting for Apple's TV display to order, and Mr Gou has the same desire to buy sharp, which has a high-end display capacity and the same thirst for Apple's orders. Apple's enemies are partly the enemy of Mr Gou, and Mr Gou has little qualms because, in the foundry industry, Samsung has no intersection with Hon Hai, Samsung has its own hardware manufacturing plants, and even takes on foundry business, and has no business dealings with Hon Hai. And in the LCD business, Hon Hai and Samsung are rivals, so Mr Gou can go and play. Reflection: Why is Samsung so annoying? Apple's ability to suck gold is the world's first, Shong in smartphones and tablet computers, but not so much red eyes; Samsung propped up the South Korean economy, striking. It's really hard to understand! Samsung founder Lee Kun-hee has been advocating in all areas to do the first, the famous "to First, or quit" slogan has been the pursuit of Samsung's goal, and in many areas, they did. At present, Samsung in the panel, DRAM memory, NAND flash, LCD TVs and smartphones and other five businesses have achieved market share in the world's first. But the development pattern of Samsung whole industry chain layout also let it embattled everywhere. In the It Home appliance field, it is difficult to see that the product is Samsung does not do, and many of these products, and even assembly, are Samsung single-handedly handled, outsiders hard to get a piece. Acer founder Shih and TSMC chairman Chang have publicly stated that Samsung is almost any electronic product to do, upstream and downstream of the whole package, is the Taiwan IT industry owners of the enemy. On the other hand, Apple, in addition to mastering the core research and development technology, all parts of the production, product assembly are to be completed by other manufacturers, in the construction of a huge consumer electronics empire has also established a perfect industrial chain, the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to benefit. And that's why Samsung has been criticized for making enemies everywhere in the industrial chain. (Edit: Northbound)
