Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology - Chapter 744
It was only at this time that Wang Xiang realized that Chen Xiao had already had a countermeasure in his heart.
And played two cards in one go.
The first card to acquire Nokia’s mobile phone business, the purpose of this is to allow Changtian Technology to have a shipping hole in Europe.
After all, Nokia is an old-fashioned mobile phone company in Europe, and its signboard still has some uses.
Moreover, Changtian Technology’s acquisition of Nokia is not only to use Nokia’s skin as a mobile phone, but more importantly, to establish a good relationship with the European communication industry, which will help Changtian Technology’s 4G business to be promoted throughout Europe.
The second card is to launch 4G services.
Why has Chen Xiao been waiting for a large number of production orders from Apple?
The purpose is to give Apple nowhere to turn.
Apple has produced nearly 10 million 3G mobile phones, and has ordered more than 10 million mobile phone parts from various suppliers.
Then it is absolutely impossible for Apple to change the 3G standard mobile phone to the 4G standard mobile phone to re-manufacture and re-sell it.
Not only is it too late in time, but there is no way to change it at a technical level.
These two cards are played at the same time, even if the iPhone 5 can be successfully sold in the world, its sales and reputation will be greatly reduced compared to the previous generation iPhone 4S.
And Changtian Technology took this opportunity to not only launch its own 4G technology, but also to enter the mobile phone field logically, and even launch Hanhai brand mobile phones.
In this way, the purpose of Changtian Technology has been achieved.
Wang Xiang was not nervous at all at this time, and he even had some expectations.
According to Chen Xiao’s arrangement, Wang Xiang and the working group immediately took a special plane to Finland.
Every time he takes a plane, Wang Xiang will take a look at the airport under construction in Changzezhou.
Under the repeated efforts and communication of Changtian Technology, the relevant departments of Suzhou and Hangzhou and the state approved Changtian Technology to build an airport in the peripheral area of Changzezhou.
The construction location of the airport is in the peripheral area of Changzezhou, that is, it does not occupy the location of Changtian Science and Technology Park and headquarters.
In order to promote the development of the area near Changzezhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou also hopes to rely on Changtian Technology to bring the economy of Suzhou and Hangzhou to a higher level.
Therefore, a large area near Changzezhou has been included in the planning scope and has become a new area of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
The construction of the airport does not require Changtian Technology to invest or worry about it. The entire airport constructed by Suzhou and Hangzhou will not only become the dedicated airport of Changtian Technology, but also partially undertake the airport transportation tasks of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
In the foreseeable future, the vicinity of Changzezhou will become the most developed commercial and residential area in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Wang Xiang sat in the special car and watched advertisements along the highway.
“Enjoy the back garden of Suzhou-Hangzhou City… Back to Changtian Technology… Look at Tianyue Island, the pearl of the sea… Enjoy the best educational and medical resources in the country – Longhu Tianju will give you a perfect home, from 75 square meters to 140 square meters of luxury high-rise, starting from The price is 39999/sq.m.”
“Ultimate Chaos”
A lot of land near Changzezhou has been auctioned, and these areas will be built with new commercial and residential areas, schools, hospitals, etc. will be built in the future.
Even though the house hasn’t been built yet, the pre-sale has already taken place.
A square meter is close to 40,000 yuan, which is almost the same as the urban area of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Wang Xiang has some sighs. At the beginning, Suzhou and Hangzhou gave Changzezhou and Tianyue Island to Changtian Technology, so it seems that this approach is quite wise.
Now, if you sell a few pieces of land near Changzezhou, you can earn back the money for building the expressway from Suzhou-Hangzhou to Changzezhou.
At the same time, Wang Xiang also admires Chen Xiao very much. The total area of Changze Island is 321.7 square kilometers, and the area of Tianyue Island, 10 kilometers away, is about 130.9 square kilometers.
The area is very large for a company, and there are still many places in Changze Prefecture that have not been developed at all.
These places can be used to develop welfare housing for employees at any time.
I think that if Changzezhou occupies a small area and Changtian Technology does not have a welfare housing policy for employees, most of the employees will go to the urban area of Suzhou and Hangzhou or the newly developed real estate near Changzezhou to buy houses. This will be a considerable expense.
After some tossing and turning, Wang Xiang came to Finland.
Because I had already called Simpson in advance.
The so-called Simpson and his friends greeted Wang Xiang and his party at the airport.
Simpson was very happy after seeing Wang Xiang. After all, it was an old friend meeting.
But in the past two years, both Nokia and Changtian Technology have undergone great changes, and the entire market environment is also different from the past, so Simpson’s heart is full of emotion.
After a few chats, everyone was ready to drive to a hotel not far from Nokia’s headquarters to check in.
Just after walking to the gate of the airport, Wang Xiang looked back and saw an iPhone 4S advertisement playing on the big screen in the lobby.
The last time Wang Xiang came to Finland, the entire airport was surrounded by Nokia mobile phone advertisements.
When he was in China, Wang Xiang only called Simpson to say that he would come to Finland for a stroll, but did not talk about the negotiation.
So Simpson also thought that Wang Xiang was visiting Finland with his family or friends, and he introduced some scenery of Finland to Wang Xiang along the way.
After not seeing each other for more than a year, Wang Xiang clearly felt that Simpson was a lot haggard. This was not to say that he was physically aging and haggard after getting older, but the feeling of powerlessness that came from his heart.
Obviously Simpson has been through a lot in the past two years.
Wang Xiang came with a mission this time, so he suggested whether Simpson could find a better hotel and have a meal together in the evening.
Of course Simpson would. He said, “I’ve already prepared it. I’ll call and ask him if dinner is ready over there.”
Simpson pulled out his 2G feature phone and made a call to set dinner time.
Seeing Simpson holding an old-fashioned 2G feature phone, Wang Xiang’s heart was filled with emotion.
There are times when the times abandon you and don’t even say hello to you.
While chatting in the car, Wang Xiang knew that Simpson had been removed from the position of president of the Asia-Pacific region by the board of directors, and now took an idle position in the company.
Nokia’s mobile phone sales are not very good, and Nokia intends to sell the mobile phone business, so Simpson’s daily work is not too much, basically it is pension status.
But Simpson is still very young, but only in his 40s. During the chat, Wang Xiang clearly felt his unwillingness.
Simpson, drinking, commented on two of Nokia’s mistakes.
The first mistake was that when Changtian Technology held the Firefly mobile phone version of the system, it hoped to find Nokia for cooperation.
Nokia decisively refused, because the Saipan system was in full swing at that time, and Nokia also invested a lot of energy and money for this.
Therefore, it is of course impossible for Nokia to give up Saipan and instead cooperate with Changtian Technology on a mobile phone system that has never been heard of.
The second thing is that Nokia should not have deliberately flirted with Panasonic Sony after cooperating with Changtian Technology (purchasing Changtian Technology’s lithium battery and handing over the OEM of mobile phones to Tiangong Technology), and also put a lot of generation The work order was handed over to Foxconn, in order to fight against Changtian Technology.
Simpson said regretfully: “If only once in these two times did not do something like this, relying on Changtian Technology’s hardware and strong technical capabilities, coupled with the vast market of Xiaguo, how could Nokia reach Such a situation today!”
Simpson also weighed the situation and said: “I think Apple is making the same mistakes that Nokia made at the moment.”
“I heard that this time Apple has kicked Changtian Technology out of the iPhone5 supply chain. I can guarantee that when consumers use iPhone4S and iPhone5 at the same time. The strong contrast will definitely make consumers feel hard for Apple. The sense of brand and luxury that was established is gone.”
Wang Xiang nodded, he had some eyes that admired Chen Xiao.
Although Simpson still uses a 2G feature phone, his vision and analysis are indeed in a very high position.
Wang Xiang said, “Sir, this time I came to Finland not to play, but to reach a certain agreement with Nokia through Mr.’s channel.”
Wang Xiang said with a smile: “I heard that Nokia intends to sell its mobile phone business, and the buyer is likely to be Microsoft or Motorola.”
This matter is currently strictly confidential at Nokia headquarters. Simpson knew about it because he had a wide range of contacts at the headquarters, but he didn’t know why Changtian Technology also knew about it.
Wang Xiang saw Simpson’s surprised expression and said with a smile, “Please don’t doubt Changtian Technology’s strategic intelligence capabilities.”
Wang Xiang took out the prepared acquisition plan from his briefcase, handed it to Simpson and said: “This is the acquisition plan of Changtian Technology, please give this plan to Nokia’s. top.”
Changtian Technology can directly quote Nokia through the public-to-public channel, instead of going through Simpson’s channel.
But Chen Xiao did not do this, but asked Wang Xiang to find Simpson personally with the acquisition plan.
The purpose is not only that Chen Xiao hopes to bring in such outstanding talents as Simpson, but more importantly, it is to make the quotation of Changtian Technicians not so abrupt this time.
After all, Nokia’s executives are in a state of confusion.
Some people support the sale of the mobile phone business, and some people hope to take another gamble and completely flip Nokia’s smartphone business to Android, and compete with HTC Motorola, Samsung and other companies on the same stage.
But revitalizing the mobile phone business is only the idea of a small number of people at Nokia, and it is for Nokia’s overall strength. They don’t have enough energy now, and they don’t have enough funds to re-plan the mobile phone business.
Wang Xiang told Simpson: “Our plan is to acquire Nokia’s mobile phone business for 6 billion yuan in cash. This includes the acquisition of Nokia’s sales channel R&D center, all its own factories, land, workshops, headquarters, etc., as well as the mobile phone business. all patents.”
“If the board of directors of the other side Nokia can agree, we can complete the acquisition agreement immediately.”
Chen Xiao’s bottom line for Wang Xiang is 7 billion meters, and Wang Xiang’s price is 6 billion meters. This is to leave some room for negotiation.
In Chen Xiao’s impression, in 2013, that is, next year, Microsoft will acquire Nokia for $5 billion.
Now Changtian Technology has offered an additional purchase price of 1 billion to 2 billion meters, which is actually in line with the actual operating conditions of Nokia.
In fact, companies and people are the same.
People can survive if they are rescued before they are about to die, they can do rehabilitation therapy, and they can even go out to work to earn money.
But if a person dies, then it is really dust to dust, so little green smoke is worthless.
The same goes for companies.
Next year’s Nokia is cheaper because Nokia is dead, and it is very difficult for a dead Nokia to come back to life and make money.
This year’s Nokia is more expensive because it’s not dead.
Changtian Technology has now acquired Nokia, which is to perform major surgery and rehabilitation treatment on Nokia, so that Nokia can regain profitability.
Wang Xiang told Simpson: “We know that Nokia is now negotiating with Microsoft, and Microsoft’s acquisition price is not as good as us.”
“Furthermore, as far as I know, Nokia is using instalments and equity deals, and we’re giving cash.”
“I think Nokia’s executives should be able to make the right choice.”
After Wang Xiang finished his elaboration, he also knew that although Simpson was a high-level executive of Nokia, he just held an idle position without actual rights. Wang Xiang just hoped that Simpson would be able to convey this information to the high-level officials of Nokia.
Simpson is not in the mood to eat now, and quickly read the acquisition plan of Changtian Technology in detail.
The more I look at Simpson, the more excited I get!
Because the plan of Changtian Technology is to acquire all the mobile phone business of Nokia, and all the shares have been granted to Changtian Technology.
Changtian Technology is to rebrand Nokia!
If Changtian Technology can really settle in Nokia, Nokia will surely become a brand that makes the world chill just as it was five or six years ago.
“I’ll report this to the board tomorrow,” Simpson said.
Wang Xiang smiled and said, “Waiting for good news. UU reading www.uukanshu.com”
Early the next morning, Simpson went directly to Nokia’s trusted CEO Kevinson (Ollila resigned because of the failure of the mobile phone business strategy).
If five or six years ago, you said that you were the CEO of Nokia, it was a super-face, and no one could match the status, energy, and power.
But today’s Nokia is like a lame disabled person. After investing a lot of money in the mobile phone business, it failed, and the communication business is dying.
So Nokia’s CEO is not worth much.
Kevinson also knows that he is only a transitional candidate, and it is absolutely impossible for him to clean up Nokia’s mess and revive Nokia’s glory.
He just followed the resolution of the board of directors and waited for someone to acquire Nokia’s mobile phone business, and he just had to work with him.
At present, most of the work Nokia has done is to prepare materials and negotiate with Microsoft, hoping that Microsoft can help and acquire itself.
But the actual situation is that Nokia stripped itself off, and Microsoft was not interested, and only gave a low-intentional offer, or installment and equity replacement.
Just when Kevinson had a headache, Simpson actually said that Changtian Technology would pay 60 meters in cash!
It’s cash to buy Nokia!
Kevinson excitedly took the plan and reported to the board of directors.
