But in such a situation, Saehan Company only gave the somewhat insulting price of 1.2 billion won. Park Minho felt aggrieved by being lowballed like this!
Was this looking down on people or deliberately taking advantage of others?!
This was taking advantage of the large-scale return of mobile phones from Hansung in Gyeonggi Province, which was at stake, so they came out to profit from the fire?!
After a long time, Park Minho calmed down, so he said with a cold face:
"There may have been false rumors before, but they were just rumors.
I officially inherited all the company's shares yesterday morning and became the company's president, so I can clearly tell Saehan Mobile Phone Company that I have no intention of selling, so please return, Mr. Xu."
Xu Bo, vice president of Saehan Company, looked at Park Minho's appearance and shook his head helplessly.
Sure enough, he was a young man—he couldn't hide anything and showed it all on his face, and wasn't afraid that he would provoke Saehan Company and become enemies with them.
Seeing Park Minho's expression with no room for maneuvering, Xu Bo knew it was useless to continue the conversation, so he also gave up his plan to continue talking.
"It would be a pity if this is the case."
Xu Bo shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful.
The mobile phone factory from Hansung was a mobile phone factory that had just been established for less than a year and a half.
Much of the equipment in the factory was brand new, and the quality of the workers in this factory should be good, otherwise Hansung mobile phone wouldn't have the reputation of "good quality" and "durable."
It was a pity that he couldn't acquire such a high-quality factory at this time.
Shaking his head helplessly, Xu Bo took a deep look at Park Minho, and had to say that this young man was a bit beyond his expectations.
If he could survive this big return crisis, he was afraid that Park Minho would have a place in the top ten of the mobile phone industry in the future!
"Then we'll head back first."
Xu Bo stood up slightly.
"Well, let me see you off."
Park Minho also got up and walked out with him, escorting him to the door.
"Mr. Park, here is my business card. You can contact me for a drink when you're free."
Before leaving, Xu Bo gave Park Minho a business card.
"Alright."
Park Minho nodded and took Xu Bo's business card, then watched him get in the car and leave slowly.
"This guy should not be underestimated."
Looking at the rearview mirror where Park Minho was no longer visible, Xu Bo suddenly said something to the young assistant beside him.
"Eh?"
Listening to Xu Bo's sudden words, the young assistant looked at Xu Bo in confusion.
Looking at the puzzled eyes of the young assistant, Xu Bo explained slowly:
"This young man is very aggressive and values quality. Although he's not seasoned enough and might offend people, he may be a threat in the future because of his emphasis on production management and quality."
"Probably not. It's normal to pay attention to production management and even implement 6S management. Which mobile phone factory isn't like this now?"
The young assistant shook his head slightly, feeling that Xu Bo was worrying a bit too much.
Right now it was a question of whether Hansung Company could sustain itself. After all, Hansung Company was now facing a major return incident.
As far as he knew, all major mobile phone stores in Seoul and Gangnam had blacklisted Hansung Mobile Phone and Hansung Company, and many people declared they would not buy Hansung Mobile Phone again.
In this case, Hansung Mobile must either give up the market in Seoul and nearby provinces, or go directly to other regions to sell mobile phones, otherwise Hansung would go bankrupt!
So at this time, he felt that Hansung mobile phone wasn't worth mentioning. It was hard to say whether Hansung mobile phone could last until the end of this year. Maybe Hansung company would go bankrupt after a few months.
"You are still too young. Sometimes, whether a company can rise or not depends on the founder."
Xu Bo shook his head slightly. He certainly wouldn't go into details, so he didn't continue, but he still felt that Park Minho should not be underestimated, so he said to the young assistant:
"Next, you need to help me focus on various information about Hansung Technology. If he has any new actions or trends, you will report the information to me."
"Yes, I understand."
Although the young assistant felt that Xu Bo was making a big fuss, Xu Bo was the leader after all. Since the leader ordered it, he could only comply.

April 27, 2004, seven days had passed since Park Minho officially took over the company.
Today was a peaceful day. No one knew that Hansung mobile phone would officially start trial production of the third generation of Hansung mobile phone on this day!
"President, this is our first third-generation Hansung mobile phone."
Chen Ho handed a mobile phone to Park Minho with a look of admiration.
Nodding lightly, Park Minho reached out and took the prototype of the third generation Hansung phone. It was a white mobile phone.
The most conspicuous thing about this engineering prototype was that it had a very large color screen, and its screen size had reached an astonishing two inches!
The two-inch screen was an astonishing size in 2004. It usually only appeared on those mobile phones costing more than 120,000 won. It could be said that the purchase cost of this screen alone had reached an astonishing 7,500 won!
Although it was a bit expensive, Park Minho endured the large cost to use this screen. He had confidence in the sales volume of Hansung phones!
After thinking a little, Park Minho felt that the device had a good feel in hand.
Of course, the hand feel definitely wasn't comparable to the smartphones of later generations, and this phone was honestly a bit thick.
But this was unavoidable. The lithium batteries of mobile phones in this era weren't as good as the polymer lithium batteries more than ten years later.
So in order to pursue higher battery life and longer standby time, they could only increase the battery size.
So the mobile phones of the third generation Hansung were still unavoidably thick, without that kind of thin and light feeling.
However, through the super large two-inch screen, this thickness wasn't very obvious, so the overall look was still very beautiful and exquisite.
Park Minho, who came from later generations, had seen countless smartphones. The overall shape of the mobile phone he designed was to imitate the design style of later generation iPhones.
What was the design style of the iPhone?
It was a simple high-tech beauty style, so the mobile phone in front of him looked very premium. Just looking at the appearance, it felt like a high-tech product.
Touching the three characters "Hansung 3" written in Hangul on the back of the phone, Park Minho was very satisfied, and then pressed the power button.
"Ding, ding ding ding..."
The music played when the phone was turned on, and after a prompt text in bold "Welcome to Hansung Phone," the phone entered GUI.
"The boot speed is so fast."
Chen Ho on the side was surprised, then looked at Park Minho with admiration.
