The day after arriving in Helsinki, Zheng Yan originally thought that someone from the Bank of Finland would come early to negotiate with him, but he didn't expect that the other party was calmer than Zheng Yan imagined, and rushed over near noon.

"Zheng Yan, this is the representative of the Bank of Finland, Mr. Hilebska. Mr. Buska, this is the chairman of our Yanhuang Investment, Zheng Yan. Bill Miller introduced the two.

"Hello Mr. Zheng, welcome to Helsinki, how was your rest yesterday?"

"Hello Mr. Buska, Helsinki is the most beautiful city I have ever seen, both the scenery and the air are so pleasant, so yesterday I had a great rest, and even the fatigue of flying was swept away. ”

Zheng Yan didn't expect that the Bank of Finland would send a young man to negotiate, although he was much older than Zheng Yan, but in the financial field, he was still very young, which shows that the Bank of Finland did not attach great importance to this matter, but Zheng Yan was relieved a lot.

"Mr. Zheng, it's almost noon, if you don't mind, I'd like to invite you to lunch and talk about work by the way. ”

It seems that negotiating at the wine table is not unique to Huaxia, and Zheng Yan did not refuse Hilbska's overtures.

"Mr. Zheng, it's a pity that you didn't come at the right time, otherwise you would have been able to see the aurora..."

"Mr. Zheng, I heard that you are from Huaxia, which is a mysterious country..."

"Mr. Zheng, I'm this is our Finnish specialty, smoked salmon, this is Karelian pie, this dish is..."

“...”

From the moment he sat down, Hilbuska talked to Zheng Yan, and then introduced each dish, seemingly completely forgetting the negotiation, which was to simply eat a meal. Zheng Yan was not in a hurry, there was no nonsense.

"Mr. Zheng, I heard that you met with Bion Westlund yesterday?"

Zheng Yan does intend to buy Nokia, but after all, it is unclear how determined he is. And Hilebska's task was to sell Nokia, and seeing that Zheng Yan had not taken the initiative to mention Nokia, he finally couldn't hold his breath.

"Indeed, yesterday I had a long conversation with Mr. Westlund. As you know, I'm here to buy Nokia, but before I can do that, I need to have a general understanding of Nokia to see if it's worth investing in. As the president of Nokia, Mr. Westlund has been at the helm of Nokia for many years and knows the company best, so it is not surprising to meet him. ”

The matter of his meeting with Bianwestlund can't be hidden from others at all, and Zheng Yan has no intention of hiding it, as long as the content of the conversation is not leaked, there is no problem.

"What is Mr. Zheng's opinion now, and is he ready to continue to acquire Nokia's shares?"

As the largest shareholder of Nokia, the Bank of Finland and BironWestlund are the president of Nokia, and they have always been on good terms, but since the Bank of Finland intends to sell Nokia, the two sides have not been able to pee in the same pot.

Bionwestlund insisted on increasing investment to make the company bigger and stronger, while the Bank of Finland only wanted to recover its own funds as soon as possible to ensure that its own interests were not damaged, and the contradictions between the two sides were irreconcilable. Hillebska feared that Bionwestlund would get in the way, which made Zheng Yan dismiss the idea of buying Nokia.

"At the moment, Nokia is in a very bad form, and if there is no new capital involved, it can go bankrupt at any time. Still, I'm willing to take it if the price is right. I've always been interested in the high-tech industry and don't mind spending money on an opportunity, but of course, all of this is premised on the right price. ”

"This investment is too risky compared to my previous investments. Whether it's Cisco, Oracle, or Apple, they are all big companies with a good reputation, but Nokia is different. Nokia is not well-known in the industry, and secondly, there are no profitable projects to be taken out, so I have to weigh it carefully. ”

Hearing Zheng Yan devalue Nokia as worthless, Hillebska felt very helpless, "Mr. Zheng, as far as I know, when you invested in Cisco, Cisco was also a small company with a small name, not a big company with a good reputation. ”

"Yes, Cisco wasn't really well-known at the time, but it had a huge advantage. The router is Cisco's original product, which is exclusively owned by Cisco, and even if others want to catch up, it will take time. ”

"Nokia, on the other hand, is following in the footsteps of other companies, and at the moment, it seems that there is no possibility. Now Motorola is dominant, in Europe, Sweden's Ericsson has also left Nokia far behind, and in Asia, whether it is Japan or South Korea, the strength in this area is also more than Nokia. ”

"I'm sure you're well aware of this, and if it weren't for that, your Finnish banks wouldn't be willing to sell Nokia, would they? I'm sure no one wants to take it over now but me, and of course, if you're willing to sell it at a very low price, that's a different story. ”

Originally, Hilebska felt that Zheng Yan was still so young, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with. In addition, since Zheng Yan traveled thousands of miles to Finland, he was naturally bound to get Nokia, and now it seems that things are a little different from what he imagined.

Hillebska once specifically analyzed Zheng Yan's past investments, and every time he took a great risk, but every time he proved to be right. He even had some doubts in his heart that Zheng Yan would be sure to bring Nokia back to life.

However, this idea is only a fleeting thought, and investment in the telecommunications industry is not just about money. If you want to talk about financial strength, I'm afraid no one will question Zheng Yan, but if you want to say that Zheng Yan has unknown advanced technology, I'm afraid no one will believe it. Could it be that Zheng Yan really just bought a possibility? Hilbuska suddenly couldn't make up his mind.

Fortunately, Hilebska's task was to probe Zheng Yan's tone, not to make a final decision, and left the hotel after lunch. Hilebska did not understand Zheng Yan's intentions, and Zheng Yan did not understand the bottom line of the Bank of Finland.

"Bill, you contact Bianwestlund and ask him to inquire about the attitude of the Bank of Finland. ”

Bianwestlund has worked with the Bank of Finland for many years, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out what the other side is doing. Although there was no substantive mention of anything in this negotiation, Zheng Yan knew that when the next negotiation was held, there should be a result, and it was not a bad thing to make some preparations in advance.
