What made Zheng Yan even more uneasy was that Yoma Ollilah actually nodded, "Indeed, I think Nokia can get involved." Although the Iridium project is led by Motorola, it is not the only shareholder and will not reject us. ”

Zheng Yan realized that he had made a mistake, according to the development of history, Nokia at this time should be in the hands of Bionwestlund, who is known for his stability. It's just because of his own participation that the time for Yoma Ollila to take charge of Nokia has been brought forward.

The advance of time did not damage Yoma Ollila's talent, but he was too sensitive to risks and had the idea of participating in the Iridium project. At this time, Zheng Yan was very fortunate that he did not make his own decisions.

"Yoma, believe me, the Iridium project is an unrealistic fantasy that will be dragged into the abyss by no matter how powerful Motorola is now. If Nokia is also involved, we will never have a chance to surpass Motorola again. ”

"For Nokia, the most important thing at the moment is to carry out the research and development of mobile phone technology, which is the foundation of the company's strength, and everything else is empty talk. Although I promised you that I would not interfere with your decision, not this time. ”

This is the first and only time that Zheng Yan has shown such determination in front of Yoma Ollilah. Knowing that it is a castle in the air, knowing that it is an unrealistic fantasy, why should he hope for extravagance? Zheng Yan knew it, but Yoma Orlilah didn't understand it.

"Zheng Yan, I respect your decision, but I want to know, on what basis did you come to your conclusion?"

Zheng Yan knew just by looking at Yoma Ollilah's expression that if he couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, even if he made concessions, there would be a rift between the two. For Zheng Yan, Yoma Ollilah is not indispensable, but if he encounters irreconcilable contradictions, Zheng Yan does not want to change Nokia.

Seeing that everyone had eaten about the same, Zheng Yan invited all the staff out of the room. Zheng Yan knows very well that what he is going to say next must not be known to too many people.

"Yoma, what do you think is the reason for the emergence of mobile phones, and what is the trend that has been developing?"

When Zheng Yan asked all the staff to go out, Yoma Olilla thought that Zheng Yan would tell some unknown secrets, but it turned out to ask two brainless questions, and Yoma Ollilah didn't react for a while.

Zheng Yan was not surprised by Yoma Ollila's reaction, and continued: "Actually, if you really want to talk about the reason for the appearance of the mobile phone, I can't say. It can be said that it is the product of scientific and technological progress, or it can be said that it is because people have this need, and I believe that no one can really explain it clearly. ”

"But what about the development trend of mobile phones? As the CEO of Nokia, this should be very clear, right? Since Motorola produced the first mobile phone, because of the poor call quality and the bulky mobile phone, these two issues have been the focus of all the company's research. ”

"Now, the problem of call quality has basically been solved, the volume of mobile phones is getting smaller and smaller, the weight is getting lighter and lighter, and people have begun to improve their functions and beautify their appearance, so what's next?"

"Although I have never asked the company's R&D direction, I am sure that Nokia is also working appearance and function at present, and I believe you will not object to this, right?"

Even now, Yoma Ollilah still hasn't figured out what Zheng Yan meant, in his opinion, what Zheng Yan said can be understood by any person, so he asked puzzledly: "Zheng Yan, these don't seem to have anything to do with the Iridium project, right?"

"Looks like you agree with me. Zheng Yan did not answer Yoma Ollilah's question, but continued: "Yoma, how much do you know about the Iridium project?"

Seeing that Zheng Yan said the crux of the problem, Yoma Ollilah also came to his senses, "If I understand enough, I don't have to worry." You should know that a multi-billion dollar plan like this will not be announced until the results are in..."

When Yoma Olilah said this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and asked in surprise: "Are you involved in this plan, or do you know the specific process and content of this plan?"

Seeing Yoma Ollilah's surprised look, Zheng Yan said with a smile: "I have already said that this is an unrealistic plan, of course I will not participate. However, I knew more about the project than many people could have imagined, which is why I let everyone else out. ”

"What I'm going to say next, hopefully only for the two of us. I didn't want to say it, but I didn't want to see a gap between us, but as soon as I got out of this room, I would never admit that I said it. ”

Although Zheng Yan hadn't said it yet, Yoma Ollilah knew that what Zheng Yan was going to say next was definitely top secret, and his expression unconsciously focused a lot.

"We all know that we use mobile phones for convenience, but what if it's inconvenient? Will people still pay for it? I'll just tell you about the two drawbacks of the Iridium program, and as for whether it's worth investing in, you can judge for yourself. ”

"First, as far as I know, once the Iridium program is successful, to a certain extent, it can indeed achieve the purpose of global communication. However, the matching satellite phone is still as cumbersome as the original big brother. Of course, that's not a big deal relative to its functionality. ”

"Second, the so-called global communication is also conditional, that is, there must be a seamless connection between mobile phones and satellites. This means that the Iridium phone cannot be connected in a building, not even in a car, and only air is allowed between the phone and the satellite. ”

"Of course, these are just two disadvantages of Iridium phones, and there are a few others, but I think these two points are enough. ”

That's enough, and so did Yoma Ollilah. As for whether what Zheng Yan said was true or false, Yoma Ollilah did not doubt it at all. Of course, he was very curious about Zheng Yan's sources, but he wasn't ready to ask, and he believed that he wouldn't say anything if he asked.

"It's hard to imagine that I would be interested in such a stupid plan. Yoma Orila said in frustration.

Yoma Ollilah's words completely eliminated the estrangement between the two people, and Zheng Yan was quite pleased with this.

Yoma Ollilah did lead Nokia to create a myth, but he also took Nokia off the altar, which Zheng Yan would not allow. After this time, even if Zheng Yan wants to do something, it will undoubtedly be much smoother.
