Chapter 114: A Little Change, Maybe It's Crazy
Chapter 114 A little change, maybe it's crazy
In the history of human development, there is no shortage of examples where details determine success or failure.
The ancients of China have long left many famous sayings about paying attention to details. For example, Lao Tzu once said, "The big things in the world must be done in detail." "Xunzi" mentions that "without accumulating steps, there is no way to reach thousands of miles; ”。 Li Si, the prime minister of Qin who assisted Qin Shi Huang in unifying the six countries, said, "Mount Tai does not let the soil, so it can become big, and the river and sea do not choose a trickle, so it can be deep." ”
In the West, the devil is in the details, as in the battle between King Richard III and his rival, the Earl of Richmond, who ruled England. And because of this, he left a small poem, which has been passed down to modern times. "Lose a nail, break a shoe, break a shoe, break a horse, break a horse, wound a knight, wound a knight, lose a battle, lose a battle, lose an empire!"
Whether this is true or not, because of the age, no one can guarantee, but it vividly illustrates the importance of details in success or failure.
Fang Mingyuan and Aurela talked for a whole morning in the drizzle, and it was not until Lin Rong came to remind them that they should go to dinner, and then stopped the exchange.
At this time, Aurela was already radiant and happy, just like the groom who had just included the beauty he had been in love for ten years in the room, and he was laughing constantly on the way to the restaurant. It has really attracted a lot of attention. Although it is said that Aulila is not in the company and does not appear as a stern image, it is extremely rare to see it like today. Many employees of Nokia Group are speculating about what kind of good news can make their president so happy!
After eating a humble lunch that made Lu Mingyue and Mei Dongze feel disgusted, in the afternoon, Lu Mingyue and Mei Dongze will visit Nokia Group, accompanied by two high-level cadres of Nokia Group, while Fang Mingyuan will attend the afternoon board meeting with Olera.
In fact, many people on the board of directors, Fang Mingyuan has already met at the airport, and what really needs to be introduced is only the chairman of the board of directors of Nokia Group, Frilatto, who is the former chairman of the board of directors of Nokia and the successor of e-Kelamo, and Kairamo is Orila's Bole, it was he who brought Orila from Citibank to Nokia Group, and gave him full trust to let Orila play.
It was because of Kairamo's support that Aurela, who was just 36 years old at the time, became the head of the mobile phone company in the Nokia Group, and later successfully joined the company's executive board. Since the U.S. economy has since fallen into recession, and as the U.S. economy has fallen into recession, Shijie's economy is also facing a terrible recession, and Europe, which has close trade with the United States, is naturally not immune. Nokia's television production business was in the red, but Aurella's mobile phone division was a brilliant success, and compared to the huge losses of the rest of the Nokia Group, the telecommunications and mobile phone division was a nourish for Nokia. It is precisely because of this outstanding performance that Aurella's ability began to be recognized at Nokia.
But in '88, Kairamo committed suicide because he couldn't bear the huge pressure of the group's losses, and Frilatto succeeded him in danger. Fortunately, after Frilatto succeeded him, he still strongly supported Orila. Orila did not live up to Frilatto's trust, and in 92, he took over as president of Nokia Group.
In the most difficult years of the Nokia Group, it was also because of the support of Frilatto that Orila was able to convince the other shareholders of the Nokia Group to sell all the properties except for the telecommunications and mobile phone divisions, which laid a solid foundation for the Nokia Group to take off today.
In Fang Mingyuan's several exchanges with Aurira, Aurela also mentioned the current chairman of Nokia many times and respected him very much. Therefore, Fang Mingyuan was also quite polite to Frilatto.
After some pleasantries, Aurela got back to business. "Fang, after discussion by the board of directors, we have basically reached a consensus. All we need to do is reach an agreement on some details, and then your wish to take a stake in Nokia Group can be realized!" Before Fang Mingyuan entered the conference hall, they had already held an hour-and-a-half-long board meeting.
Fang Mingyuan stood up with a smile and bowed slightly to everyone: "I feel honored to be able to witness the bright future of Nokia Group with you! I hope that in the coming days, everyone can cooperate with me happily." ”
Frilatto said with a smile: "Fang, we have heard of you for a long time! This year, as Yoma said, heroic boy! You are willing to join our collective, it is an honor for all of us! Here, we want to thank you first!" While speaking, Aurela didn't know when he came to Fang Mingyuan's back, his hands pressed on his shoulders, and all the Nokia directors present stood up together and bowed deeply to Fang Mingyuan!
Fang Mingyuan instinctively wanted to stand up, but was pressed on the chair by Orila. "Fang, this is what you deserve!" Fang Mingyuan's billion-dollar loan, although it was attached to the purchase of Nokia Group's jishu and equipment, but Nokia Group was still grateful to Fang Mingyuan. You must know that when Fang Mingyuan borrowed, Western countries still made great efforts to make mobile phones. But now, if Fang Mingyuan comes up with a billion dollars, even if Nokia Group does not sell it, there will definitely be other mobile phone manufacturers who will take this opportunity to transfer the previous generation of mobile phone production jishu, which is already a little backward and will face complete elimination in two or three years.
And this billion dollar of borrowing is tantamount to a relief for Nokia Group!
If it weren't for Ericsson's fear that Nokia's loss-making consumer electronics business would drag itself down and eventually give up, the story of Nokia Group might have come to an abrupt end a few years ago
Fang Mingyuan smiled helplessly: "Directors, let's not bow three times, then in our country, it is a farewell to the body!"
Everyone burst out laughing.
Aurela returned to her seat and said to the directors: "The next topic is about the manufacture and sales of our company's mobile phones. This topic was first raised by Fang, and I think that Fang's proposal may play a considerable role in promoting the expansion of our company's mobile phone sales! Therefore, I have raised it in the board of directors today, and I would like to ask all the directors present here to judge whether we should adopt Fang's proposal. ”
The directors were immediately in high spirits and looked at Fang Mingyuan with expectant eyes.
Fang Mingyuan coughed lightly twice and said: "Directors, I think so, there are not many mobile phone models on the market today, and these mobile phone manufacturing companies on Shijie only launch three to five models every year, and each mobile phone is generally black, white, red and other three or four colors. This creates a problem, which is that when you walk down the street, you see a crowd of people who are probably fifty or sixty years old, and young people in their twenties and thirties are using the same mobile phone. And for many women, they have a lot of gorgeous clothes, even if they change a set a day, they will never be the same, they can change different clothes according to the weather, according to their mood, according to the occasion they want to attend, but it is impossible for her to configure seven or eight mobile phones for herself to match her clothes, right? You can think about it, at the brightly lit banquet, when a beautiful girl in a red evening dress is holding a black or white mobile phone, is this scene not coordinated? The directors couldn't help but nod their heads.
"And, I think, the biggest user base of mobile phones should be young people, who are the only ones who are constantly buying new phones for fashion, and for those who are older, a phone should last for a long time. So, what do young people need?" Fang Mingyuan continued without waiting for everyone to answer, "They need to show off their personality and show their differences! So, I think that although for the vast majority of people, mobile phones cannot be changed at will like the clothes they wear, but the mobile phones themselves can change clothes!"
"Change your phone?" Frilatto's eyes lit up, "Fang, what do you mean...... Replace your phone case?"
"That's right, it's to replace the phone case!" Fang Mingyuan said categorically, "As long as you think about it, in front of the sales counter of the mobile phone, other mobile phones only have two or three colors, but our Nokia Group mobile phones have a variety of colors, for them to choose at will, what will be the result?"
Changing the shell of the mobile phone, this is already a common thing for Fang Mingyuan in his previous life, almost all the major traditional manufacturers of Shijie have mobile phones with colorful shells as the selling point. Israeli companies even produce mobile phones that are completely varied with shells, and the phones themselves are instead relegated to the status of supporting characters. Nokia, on the other hand, is recognized by Shijie as the initiator of the move to change the shell of the mobile phone, and later it was even said that "technology is based on changing the shell"!
But at this time, no one in the Nokia Group has yet been able to realize this!
In fact, many things on this shijie are just a layer of paper separated by people, and once this layer of paper is pierced, then everything will not be a problem!
These directors of Nokia all showed excited expressions!RO!~!
