Chapter 551: Legendary Characters
The light rain kept dripping, and the group was on the platform in front of the restaurant by the lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Lake Ashi under the fog for an afternoon, and listening to Fang Mingyuan tell the story that did not exist in the Caribbean Sea in Central America. This scene, even more than ten years later, Yuda Mitsuri still remembers it vividly.
When the hands of the watch pointed to four o'clock in the afternoon, the light rain that had been falling for nearly three hours finally stopped. Although the whole lake area was still foggy, they could finally leave the small restaurant where they had been sitting all afternoon.
Kazuki Aso proposes to take the ferry back to the Lake Ashi Hotel, where everyone can take a break and soak in the hot springs after dinner. Naturally, everyone had no objections, so they walked to the ferry terminal again. Fang Mingyuan and the others, who had just walked to the dock, met a pair of acquaintances
"Why are you here?" When Joseph and Agasha were stopped by Fang Mingyuan, their mouths opened wide in surprise.
"I'm going to ask you, why are you here?" Looking at the surprised appearance of the two, Fang Mingyuan said with some amusement, "Joseph, weren't you transferred back to Nokia headquarters?" Why did you come to Japan again? ”
Joseph spread his hands and said: "It's just to go back to the headquarters for training, and it's not just to transfer back to the headquarters, so I came back, and it just so happened that we both had a few days off, so we came to Japan for a vacation."
Fang Mingyuan pulled Joseph aside, lowered his voice and said, "Joseph, to be honest, your Nokia Group is having a hard time now, right?" ”
Joseph smiled bitterly: "It's very sad, it's on the verge of bankruptcy." At this time, the Nokia Group, which had paper, communications, wood, cables, rubber, tires, pharmaceuticals, and even merged two television factories, caused its indigestion due to the wide industrial field, and now it is mired in losses. For this, everyone up and down the Nokia Group felt a headache. As a company that has been established since 1860, people still have a lot of affection for it.
"Didn't you pass on my word to your boss?" Fang Mingyuan said strangely.
Joseph spread his hands with a wry smile, he reported to the headquarters, but the headquarters obviously didn't take this seriously at all, but if you think about it, you can understand that Huaxia District, for Nokia Group, is still an undeveloped land, and it is not an area that is valued in the first place. I am not an important cadre of the company, otherwise I would not have sent it to China, but to Japan. It is normal for the news to be sent back to the headquarters by yourself and not taken seriously. What's more, Kairamo, who served as the CEO of Nokia Group, was not a figure who easily listened to persuasion, and when he reported to the headquarters at that time, he was honest and did not have much hope.
Fang Mingyuan nodded knowingly, to be honest, when he said that to Joseph, he actually didn't have much hope, if he could contact Nokia's senior management like this, it would be a miracle. "Alas, well, well, I understand. I hope that your Nokia Group will be reborn like the fiery phoenix in the future. ”
"However, Fang, as far as I know, the president of our Nokia mobile phone company, Yoma . Orila is currently attending a conference in Japan, I don't know, would you be interested in meeting him? Joseph laughed. He and Aurela were alumni of the same university, and he had briefly mentioned Fang Mingyuan's suggestion to Aurela on the phone, and Aurela was quite interested in it at the time.
"Who?" Fang Mingyuan grabbed Joseph's wrist and said, "Say it again?" ”
"Huh?" Joseph was taken aback by Fang Mingyuan's behavior, "Yoma. Orila, President of Nokia Mobile ......"
"Rely on" Fang Mingyuan was really taken aback in his heart.
Yoma. Aurela, this name is not familiar to the vast majority of Chinese people, and it is far less familiar than Bill or Clinton. But in Finland in the previous life, this name was no less famous than the president of Finland, and some people even jokingly said that as long as Aurela expressed his intention to run for president, then he would definitely be able to become the president of Finland.
The largest mobile phone manufacturer on Shijie was born in a small Nordic country like Finland, and to some extent, Nokia represents Finland and the head of the Nokia Group is naturally comparable to the president of Finland.
In Fang Mingyuan's previous life, he had occasionally seen information about Orila on the Internet. He is a pure Finn and studied in England. He has served at Citibank and is a member of the Citibank Management Committee. Later, he moved to Nokia Group, where he started as Vice President of International Operations and spent four or five years taking over as President and CEO of Nokia Group when the company was facing the worst of its worst due to poor decision-making.
Aurela, who was appointed in the face of danger, keenly grasped the trend of change in the mobile communications industry from analog to digital, and resolutely abandoned the company's traditional core business, including those departments that were still profitable, and concentrated resources on mobile communications, especially mobile phone business. This decision, which is seen as a "bet" in the eyes of many people, may seem risky, but Aurela made it based on an analysis of the current situation and trends of the times and the development of the industry, and he has always insisted on it despite public opinion. As it turned out, he made the right choice.
Aurela himself admitted later that in order to develop the telecommunications business, the company turned its attention to this aspect, and he had to adjust the industries that had become the mature but non-core business of the Nokia Group at that time, such as cables and tires.
"It was a schizophrenic state. You see potential for growth, but you have to spend a lot of time on structural adjustments. Aurela said.
But after a painful structural adjustment, under the leadership of Aurella, the Nokia Group began to grow rapidly, creating countless "firsts" in the telecommunications industry, such as the first digital phone in the global system of mobile communication networks, and the first mobile phone that allowed users to change their shells. And surpassed Ericsson, Motorola and other telecommunications companies, becoming the largest manufacturer of Shijie mobile phone production
It can be said that Aurela is a living legend in the international telecommunications industry
"He's in Japan right now?" Fang Mingyuan asked eagerly.
"Well, right in Japan, attending a conference on the international telecommunications industry. The reason why Agasa and I came to Japan for the holiday was because we planned to meet him after the meeting. Joseph looked at Fang Mingyuan a little strangely, "Fang, do you know Orila?" "Fang Mingyuan's performance is a bit strange, how could he react so much to Orila?
Only then did Fang Mingyuan realize that he had lost his temper, and now he was still holding Joseph's arm and not letting go.
"I don't know, but I've heard about it for a long time, a member of the management committee of the famous Citibank, who later switched to the Nokia Group." Fang Mingyuan's words relieved Joseph. At the beginning, this incident was also quite sensational in the banking industry. But he forgets that the original impact was only on the banking sector in Northern and Western Europe. At that time, in China, the country had just opened a little.
Fang Mingyuan thought in his heart, this is a rare opportunity, if he can get acquainted with Orila, it will be of great benefit to the introduction of Nokia Jishu to produce domestic mobile phones in the future. Nokia will be in a difficult situation for a long time in the future, and it will not be so easy to reach out to Nokia Group in the future.
However, it is not easy to get Aurella's approval. But...... As long as there is enough time to prepare, Fang Mingyuan believes that as long as the big people on this shijie are known in his previous life, there will always be flaws to be found
"That's great, Joseph, you have to introduce me then," Fang Mingyuan grinned. He decided that even if he was in Tokyo for half a month, he would definitely get to know the future legend of Orila.
Joseph was about to nod his head in agreement when he suddenly heard a sudden scream from Agasha behind him, which frightened him and turned his head away. I saw Agasha pointing at the white man in the crowd with a look of surprise on his face
"Hahahaha, Joseph, come on, I'll introduce you to a friend" Fang Mingyuan pulled his arm and returned to the crowd.
"Kaka...... Director Cameron "When Cameron took off his sunglasses, Joseph's performance was not much better than that of Agasa, if Fang Mingyuan hadn't covered his mouth in time, this voice would definitely alarm many people.
"Shh......h Joseph, don't you want everyone to drown in the sea of Japanese people? Fang Mingyuan gritted his teeth and said. This guy is too uncalm, he is also in his twenties and about thirty, and he has been working and living abroad for many years, so why is he still so shocked. After the two of them shouted like this, it had already attracted the attention of the surrounding Japanese, and many people were watching here.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so surprised," Joseph immediately said, "Director Cameron, you, you... How could it be here?"
"Just a few days after the Japanese premiere, James Weishenme can't be here?" Fang Mingyuan said strangely.
Joseph and Agasa looked at Fang Mingyuan in surprise, judging from the title, Fang Mingyuan and Cameron seemed very familiar. But...... Where did this friendship between the two come from?
"There are also film premieres in European countries, does it mean that Director Cameron doesn't have to attend?" Joseph asked.
"Haha, I'm not going to be there, I'm going to make a new movie when I get back from Japan," Cameron laughs.
