Samsung TSE

Samsung is very close to my heart. I’ve learned a lot during the days I was working for them. I met a lot of people/colleagues from different subsidiaries and until now, I’m still in touched with some of them. It saddened me to leave but it was a choice I made, no regrets.

This news, “Samsung Executives Arrested In Thailand” broke my heart. Click here to read the story.

I was able to meet TSE's MD, Mr. Park (in dark suit in the above photo) 2 years back in Singapore during a big Printer conference. All Samsung SEA joined the meeting with their respective MDs. I represented Samsung Printer Philippines and I was with our MD (CEO/President), Mr. Shim and VP, Mr. Bae.

I wouldn’t forget Mr.Park because he interrogated me and Mr.Bae during my Printer presentation. I introduced a promotion named Samsung Printer “Switch”. It’s a trade in, trade up promo wherein you get to trade in (switch) your old printer (working or not working) to a new Samsung Printer for half the price. Cool isn’t?

He couldn’t believe small country like Philippines would be able to afford running that kind of big promotion. Take note, it was their first time to hear such kind of promo *haha* and true enough it entails a lot of money to execute it. Imagine, half the price??? w/o me sacrificing my margin! Geez! (oh, they didn’t know that margin part…) Their jaw might drop had I shared my strategies. *nyahahaha*

I was proud to respond to his question in full confidence on how I was able to make money for my Printer business. I have my ways *wink* of course in all legal ways. And why would I dare share it to him or to the rest of the people? Mr.Bae backed me up and that made him shut up. *teehee* Oh, I miss Mr.Bae

So, that was my first and last encounter with this person. I just couldn’t believe he got involved in such a mess and even got arrested. *sigh* Hmm, Koreans are really makes big waves all over the world! I just hope he gets himself out of this allegations. That is if proven not guilty.
