Chapter 300 Acquisition II
"Mr. Zheng, happy cooperation. ”
After consulting with the top management of the Bank of Finland, Garishaarinen still signed a share transfer agreement with Zheng Yan, but not all of the shares were transferred, but 10 percent of the shares were left.
Zheng Yan has already created many miracles, and Garry Saarinen and others want to see if Zheng Yan can create another miracle. With only 10 percent of the shares, even if Nokia does not get out of bankruptcy in the end, this loss is within the scope of the Bank of Finland.
"Mr. Saarinen, it was a pleasure to work with. And I am sure that our cooperation will be very pleasant in the future. ”
Zheng Yan is also happy to see the Bank of Finland's decision to retain part of its shares. After all, Nokia is based in Finland, and with the help of the Bank of Finland, it can save a lot of trouble. He has already taken a controlling stake in Nokia, and it doesn't matter who controls the sporadic shares.
"Mr. Zheng, what are your plans next? The current situation at Nokia is a little bad, you have paid such a big price, you must not watch the company go bankrupt, right?"
"I don't have any plans, even in terms of personnel, I'm not going to make adjustments. At present, the company only has problems with funds, and I am only responsible for solving the problem of funds, as for how to develop the company, this is not what I am good at, so I will naturally not point fingers. ”
Garry Saarinen always thought that Zheng Yan would have some back-up, but he didn't expect Zheng Yan to have any preparations, and he even regretted a little at this time, he shouldn't keep ten percent of Nokia's shares.
Zheng Yan knew a little about Garry Saarinen's thoughts, but he wasn't ready to tell him, and he couldn't tell him.
The reason why Nokia has been able to rise in a short period of time while lagging behind other manufacturers is that other companies are still obsessed with strengthening the research of analog technology, while Nokia has long found a new way to develop easy-to-use digital mobile phones.
Zheng Yan also doesn't know how far this technology has reached, but one thing is certain, as long as the technology is mature and introduced to the market, that is, when Nokia rises.
"Mr. Saarinen, let's go, let's go to the conference room first, the shareholders are still waiting for our meeting. ”
Zheng Yan didn't want to interfere in the company's development, but as the company's largest shareholder, he at least had to show his face in the company. At the same time, it also tells everyone that the company's financial problems have been solved to stabilize people's minds.
When Zheng Yan and Garry Saarinen arrived in the conference room, all the current executives and shareholders of Nokia were already waiting there, and everyone already knew about Nokia's changes, and they were not surprised by Zheng Yan's arrival.
"Everyone, as you must know, I will be the chairman of Nokia in the future, and I have a few things to announce. ”
"First, based on the company's current situation, in the future, in addition to the telecommunications business, other industries will be slowly eliminated. The company's business is so complex that we have to make trade-offs. ”
"Second, I will inject $50 million into the company, and if necessary, I will continue to increase investment, so there is no need to worry about the company going to problems in terms of funds, and you can work in the company with peace of mind. ”
"Thirdly, there will be no changes in the company's personnel, and Mr. Westlund will remain the company's CEO, responsible for all aspects of the company's affairs, and I will not interfere with the company. ”
"Finally, starting today, the salaries of all employees in the company will be increased by 10 percent. Some time ago, there were some problems in the company, and many people left the company. ”
"If there are any problems or conditions, you can talk about it. ”
Zheng Yan came here today for only one purpose, and that is to stabilize people's hearts. After this turmoil, Nokia is hard to guarantee that no one will have other ideas. Zheng Yan doesn't care about the changes in ordinary personnel, but if there is a loss of scientific research talents, it will not be good.
"Chairman, I'm getting older, and my energy can't keep up, and I hope to resign as CEO of the company. ”
In the past, the reason why Bianwestlund insisted on working was only because he couldn't feel at ease, and he didn't want to see the company he had worked for all his life ruined, but now that he has overcome the difficulties, he also has the idea of living a good life.
"Mr. Westlund, although the company is not in danger of bankruptcy, it is still very difficult, are you willing to leave like this?"
Zheng Yan also counted on Bianwestlund to help stabilize people's hearts, and he didn't want people to feel that he was suppressing dissidents, so he still stood up and persuaded him.
"Chairman, after all, I am also a director of the company, I can continue to stay and work and help come up with ideas, but I am afraid that I am a little unable to control the overall situation, so let someone else take the position of CEO. ”
Zheng Yan only wants Bianwestlund to stay, and it doesn't matter what position he holds, "Since that's the case, I won't force it." As for the new CEO? I don't know much about the company, so I wonder if Mr. Westlund has any suggestions?"
Although Zheng Yan has a candidate in his heart, he doesn't want to be too strong. And Zheng Yan's actions also won the favor of everyone present.
Bianwestlund had already selected a successor for the company, but he didn't expect that Zheng Yan would ask his opinion on such a major personnel appointment. However, for the sake of the company's development, he was not polite and said: "How about Yoma Ollilah? He is now the president of Nokia Mobile Phone Company, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of ability." ”
Yoma Orlilah is not very famous now, but after more than ten years, his name is known to everyone. It is under his leadership that Nokia has become a 100 billion empire that countless people look up to.
"Since Mr. Westlund felt that he could do it, the matter was decided. ”
Yoma Ollilah was originally Zheng Yan's favorite person, so naturally he would not object.
Zheng Yan directly decided on the company's CEO candidate, seemingly out of trust in Bion Westlund, and also won the favor of many people, but some people also felt bad.
"Chairman, is this a bit hasty?"
"Mr. Saarinen, do you think we know more about the company than Mr. Westlund? The position of CEO is a matter of great importance, and I trust Mr. Westlund's judgment more than I appoint him, and this matter is settled. ”
Garry Saarinen knew that he couldn't restrain Zheng Yan at all, and although he was reluctant, he could only admit it.
With the change of ownership of Nokia, the management has also completed the transition between the old and the new.
