Chapter 534: Nokia
Coming out of the square, Yang Dongxu was about to deal with the documents in his hand and see if he could go back to school from time to time, after all, the end of the semester was approaching, Du Fei suddenly whispered a word in his ear, and he was in a bad mood because of the backsliding of several textile factories, and he was instantly happy.
"Is there anything I don't know about?"
Ye Rongrong won Nokia's 50,000 mobile phone OEM order. Yang Dongxu said happily.
Compared with the 50,000 mobile phone orders and the millions of mobile phone orders in the past, this is the world's mobile phone market in 1995 has not yet entered the high-speed development track. The mobile phone order signed by Bai Qian for Notorolla was only 10,000 units.
And Yang Dongxu is confident that as long as there are 50,000 orders as a benchmark, only Dongxu Technology will definitely receive orders for electronic products, especially mobile phones, which will definitely become the boss of global foundry companies in an instant.
"Nokia?" Han Xing was stunned for a moment, and didn't react to the name of this mobile phone brand for a while.
At present, most of the eyes in China are focused on the United States, who let the polar bear become the world's only superpower after the polar bear? So as long as it is related to the United States, even stinky shit feels like it is fragrant, all kinds of tall and high-tech.
Therefore, for the emerging mobile phone market, the first sight of domestic discerning businessmen is naturally Motorola in the United States, rather than Nokia, which is in Finland, a small Nordic country. Many people have not even heard of the name.
However, Yang Dongxu, as a person who has come over, knows that from this year, this seemingly inconspicuous mobile phone brand from a small European country will rise rapidly, directly kill the current seemingly powerful Motorola to become the leader of the world's mobile phone industry, dominating the industry for more than ten years.
It wasn't until the advent of smart phones led by Apple that this giant was caught off guard that he ended his hegemonic dynasty era.
"A good brand for mobile phones. Yang Dongxu didn't explain anything.
Han Xing nodded and didn't ask much, thinking that Yang Dongxu couldn't snatch back the orders from some well-known mobile phone companies from Bai Qian, so he found this not very famous mobile phone manufacturer to cooperate. In order not to lose face in front of Bai Qian, he didn't think about it.
It's not just Han Xing who thinks so, he knows about this matter for the first time, and after some investigation of Nokia, everyone thinks so.
Because compared with Morotola, the current Nokia is indeed a younger brother, but what everyone didn't expect was that it was only a year, or just a few months after cooperating with Dongxu Technology. This existence, which was regarded as a younger brother by Motorola, instantly became a grandfather.
Yang Dongxu, who came to the hotel from the factory, saw Ye Rongrong and his party, in order to surprise Yang Dongxu. She did not inform Yang Dongxu at the first time after signing the contract, but directly brought the person in charge of Nokia negotiations to Ningbo.
In fact, this is not only what she meant, but also the meaning of the head of Nokia negotiations, Karui Edward. Karui Edward is a typical Finn, not very tall, with a somewhat round body and a big beard.
However, this unassuming guy is one of the shareholders of Nokia, and is one of the last four deputy general managers of Nokia Company, and is also the strongest contender for the next CEO of Nokia. Beneath the ordinary exterior hides an extremely meticulous heart, and the ability is also very remarkable.
"Haha, Karui didn't expect you to be a fat guy. Seeing Kaluyang Dongxu stunned for a moment, he immediately thought of something and laughed and opened his arms to hug him, and the language of greeting in his mouth was not English, but Swedish.
After teaching himself French and German, Yang Dongxu has recently begun to conquer the minor languages he is interested in. Sometimes language is a very wonderful door, as long as you can walk in the door, you will find that learning a foreign language is not as difficult as you imagined, many languages seem to be incompatible, in fact, you can find some similar rules, master this rule you can quickly learn a foreign language.
"Are you...... Yang?" Although his figure is much thicker than Yang Dongxu, he still feels a little uncomfortable being held by Yang Dongxu, who is about 1.8 meters tall, but he is a little uncomfortable at the moment, but looks at Yang Dongxu with a surprised face.
The two men had not met before, but the two men were on the phone. Because this time Nokia only sent someone to China to talk about OEM cooperation, it was Yang Dongxu who applied to the board of directors as a shareholder, and the person in charge of this matter was Kalu, who was very interested in China.
The two of them talked more than once on the phone, and each time they often talked for more than an hour, because when talking about the development and future of the mobile phone industry, the two of them can always find a common language and have a feeling of sympathy, as for the damn high international call bills, they can only go to hell.
But listening to Yang Dongxu's voice on the phone, although he is young, he has such a clear understanding of mobile phones, he thinks that Yang Dongxu should be not young, and he is an elite who has been engaged in the mobile phone industry for at least ten years. Even if he can't figure it out at all, the mobile phone industry in Huaxia has been developing for ten years.
At this time, although it is the same as Chinese to foreigners, foreigners are currently in a state of face blindness when looking at Chinese. But he could still see the childishness on Yang Dongxu's face, although the guy in front of him was very tall, his age was definitely not more than 25. He still estimated Yang Dongxu's age higher, because Yang Dongxu would not celebrate his 20th birthday until a few months later.
"It's me Kalu, is the contract signed? rest assured, I will never cheat my friends, and the sales of this batch of goods will not give the company a headache." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
is very optimistic about Kalu Yang Dongxu, who is only 42 years old this year, especially in the chat process some time ago, this guy actually proposed some prototypes of the Saipan system, which made Yang Dongxu extremely surprised, and he couldn't wait to dig this guy directly.
In the eyes of later generations, the Symbian system was a failure, because he was beaten by Android and the Apple system, and he couldn't even find his own mother. But you can't deny that this is one of the predecessors of the intelligent system, and Symbian only failed because Nokia's top management bears most of the responsibility, not that this system is really a piece of garbage.
If there was a person at Nokia's top management who could clearly recognize the future development direction of smartphones and was willing to pay for this future and invest heavily in research and development, then it is really unclear whether there will be Apple or not. After all, Nokia at that time was definitely a well-deserved hegemon in the mobile phone industry, and hardware production has always emphasized the user experience of Apple for several streets.
"Your age is really ...... It's unbelievable. Karui still looked at Yang Dongxu with a surprised expression, although from the voice he had already judged that the young and excessive guy in front of him was the one who talked about the development of mobile phones with him on the phone, but he still couldn't believe it was true.
"There is an old Chinese saying that the first to learn is the teacher, which means that we should not look at a person's age, but look at how profound a person's knowledge is, even if he is very young but has enough knowledge, we must learn from him. ”
"Although I don't understand this Chinese proverb you said, your explanation makes me feel as if you are boasting about yourself. The surprise in his brain slowly subsided, and then Karui made a joke.
"Haha, that's a little bit of a feeling. Let's go to my room and show you some of the new phone design designs I've come up with recently. Yang Dongxu put his arm around Kalu's shoulders and said with a laugh.
The people next to him only saw Yang Dongxu and the bearded man chattering and didn't know what to say, and then the bearded man happily went upstairs with Yang Dongxu, and the translator was still standing there with a confused face, and many people were also confused and didn't know what was going on.
"What did they just say?" Ye Rongrong asked the confused translator.
"I don't know, he doesn't speak English. The translator shook his head in confusion, then remembered something and hurriedly asked another translator in English.
That's right, there were two translators on the scene, one was brought by Karui and the other was brought by Ye Rongrong. Bringing two translators is not for the convenience of one after the other.
It's because there are no translators in Chinese on the Finnish side, and there are no translators in Swedish or Finnish on the Chinese side. Therefore, there can only be an English translator who can speak Swedish, and then an English translator who returns to Chinese, so that the two sides can communicate.
Hearing the question of the English translator, the Swedish translator said something in English, and then hurriedly followed his boss, and looked at Yang Dongxu's back very curiously. It was the first time she had met someone who spoke Swedish so well abroad. Although she was a little hurried, she couldn't stop her curiosity about this man.
She said the ...... Man, in Swedish, he and Mr. Karui seem to know each other and are still friends, so the two of us decided to go upstairs to the room to have a good chat, boss we ......"
"Oh, that's it, let's go back to our room and get some rest, it's quite tiring to come all the way. Hearing that Yang Dongxu wanted to talk to Karui and didn't signal her to follow, Ye Rongrong naturally had no intention of following.
However, she was still a little surprised that Yang Dongxu could speak Swedish, but she didn't show it on her face. Because he knew that Yang Dongxu was out of Swedish and could speak English and Russian, and she heard her husband Wu Aibing say that Yang Dongxu seemed to have learned German before, which made her sigh in her heart that the success of some people is not unreasonable.
"Go back to the room to rest?" The translator was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "The boss, Mr. Karui, is a foreign guest we invited to discuss cooperation, how can you talk to ......?"
"Why, do you want to go up and work as a translator for the big boss. ”
"I must go up, otherwise what if he collides with a foreign guest?" the translator hurriedly said, but only after saying that: "Gah, is that the big boss?"
"Otherwise, what do you think I'm doing in a hurry to run here with Karui on the line?" Ye Rongrong almost laughed when she looked at the translator with a stupid face, and then patted the translator's shoulder like a hotel elevator with an unfathomable look.
If it weren't for the fact that the old lady was too busy with work and didn't have time to learn, and because it was a foreign cooperation with the government, she was afraid that there would be some misunderstanding due to poor communication, so she sent you this translator, do you think that you are afraid that the old lady will use you? If you come to Dongxu Technology to clean the toilet, you feel that your salary will be high.
Now how about meeting a big boss who is richer than you and whose foreign language is better than what you speak?
