However, Yahoo is much more beautiful than Nokia now. In the future, Yahoo's large-area flattening event is estimated to be unexpected. Unless, they have convulsions and fight with the Tang Dynasty company. Of course, this is naturally impossible. Not to mention that Yang Zhiyuan will not do this now, even if it is all the shareholders of Yahoo, they don't want him to do it.

……

Nokia.

Nokia has always been an empire in the field of mobile phones before, but now, this former empire is slowly declining.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in view of the current situation, I think that there are serious deficiencies in Nokia's management. I propose that the entire management of Nokia be reshuffled......"

Ed, chairman of Nokia, put forward his opinion at today's board meeting.

"Shuffle, Mr. Chairman, this still has to be carefully considered. After all, Nokia has come to where it is today, and while the current management is responsible, they can't be blamed for everything. ”

Although the deputy director "Michel" agreed with the layoffs, he did not approve of the reshuffle of all the top management.

Because, he took into account, if the current management of Nokia is restructured. The new management of the company is also unable to face Nokia's current problems. Not to mention, they also need to have a period of adaptation to Nokia. In this way, changing the management of the company is basically not a wise choice.

Unless, the management of the company is replaced, he can come up with a solution to Nokia's current problems.

It's just, looking at it now, basically, it's hard.

If it weren't for the current Nokia brand, I'm afraid that Nokia would have been unnoticed by others for a long time.

"OK, okay, Michel, what do you say?"

Nokia's chairman Ed and deputy director Michel occupy a relatively large stake in Nokia. Basically, the opinions of the two of them can influence the future of Nokia. Ed's opinion was not agreed with by Michel, so he could only slow down and ask Michel.

Seeing the chairman's rhetorical question, Michel was also stunned.

Because, he also found a bad way to manage the current situation of Nokia.

Actually, the current Nokia is really embarrassing.

On the one hand, as a former mobile phone dynasty, everyone can see the potential of Nokia. In addition, the shipment rate of Nokia mobile phones has always maintained the first position in the world. However, under the impact of Asian mobile phones, Nokia's market position has fallen again and again...... In addition, high-end smartphones have reached mobile phone alliances with European and American countries. However, how can this kind of alliance be monolithic, basically it has little effect.

Even, at the time of this alliance. Apple, Intel...... and so on, all of them want to hit the idea of Nokia's channel. However, in fact, Nokia really didn't have much to gain in this alliance. Of course, from the outside world, Apple and the like have provided technical support to Nokia for mobile phone operating systems. However, this has a. If Apple's smartphone operating system is used, then Nokia will have to abandon the Symbian system that it has been operating for many years...... This kind of suicidal cooperation is not something that Nokia will do.

If it weren't for the situation, Nokia really didn't want to join this European and American alliance.

For a moment, there was silence on the boardroom.

"Everyone, do you have any good ideas?"

At this time, Ed set his sights on the other directors.

"Chairman, I think it might be a good idea to go all out to upgrade our Symbian system."

"Oh, what does that mean?"

"In the low-end mobile phone category, it is estimated that we have no way now. After all, with this kind of technological advancement, we at Nokia can't beat the localized low-end mobile phones. If you want to go, take the high-end route. In terms of mobile phone hardware performance, our Nokia is no worse than other mobile phones, and even, not worse than Tang Dynasty smartphones. The only thing that makes Nokia underperform, that is, the mobile phone operating system, and the software service ......... connected to the operating system, at present, Tang Dynasty can lead the world because of his huge operating system has linked the world together. Even when some governments wanted to sanction Tang Dynasty mobile phones, they were opposed by local companies. Because, they still have to rely on the Tang Dynasty mobile phone cooperation to make a profit.

"Yes, using someone else's operating system is always not the way, we have to use our own."

As chairman, Ed has listened to the director's opinion. However, he then shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, Nokia does not have much cash flow at present, and major banks currently have relatively large restrictions on our loans. ”

As its market position continues to decline, Nokia's market value has fallen again and again. And, some time ago, due to continuous losses, Nokia shares have been delisted from the British stock market. The outside world has commented that such a crisis will be further strengthened. Most likely, Nokia in Germany, France, Sweden...... and other market stocks, which will also follow in the footsteps of the UK's delisting.

Therefore, whether it is a venture capital fund or a banking company, Nokia does not dare to lend easily.

"Perhaps, we can sell some of the company's assets."

As the former mobile phone empire of Nokia, not to mention that he is still alive now. Even if he hangs, he still has countless majesty. Naturally, Nokia has a number of other assets besides his phone. Although these assets cannot be compared with traditional mobile phones, selling one or two can also give out some of the funds.

"Yes, we don't follow the example of IBM now."

At the beginning, IBM sold even the most important computer business, not to mention the current Nokia.

Now that Nokia has come to this point, if the main business is not well managed, no matter how strong other businesses are, they will not be able to save Nokia. Besides, other businesses are completely established under the situation that the main business is relatively prosperous. Nowadays, it is difficult for the main business to survive, and it is even more difficult to continue to operate other businesses.

Whether it's for Nokia's future, or for cash flow now, Nokia needs to do this.

"So, should we sell Vertu?"

VERTU, a subsidiary of Nokia, designs and manufactures luxury mobile phones and accessories for the high-end market. Its phones, mostly made of jewelry and precious metals, range in price from $5,100 to $83,000 for entry-level devices. VERTU ALSO MAKES CUSTOM PHONES, THE MOST EXPENSIVE OF WHICH IS ABOUT $350,000.

Although the brand is not Nokia's main business, it was previously due to Nokia's popularity. The market also recognizes the VERTU brand, although the VERTU brand is still profitable. However, Nokia is no longer in the mood to manage the brand. After all, no matter how popular the VERTU brand is, it is just a small company. For a global supergiant like Nokia, that's not enough at all.

As a result, under the explanation of this director, everyone has been moved to sell the VERTU brand.

However, this time it is time for lunch. Chairman Ed looked at his watch and said, "Everyone, take a break and give everyone a time to think about it." After noon, we continued the discussion. ”

With all that said, the Nokia Board of Directors is over.

Then, a group of board members were about to eat. At this time, Secretary Ed, the chairman of the board, said in Ed's ear, "Chairman, Tang Dynasty Company is visiting." ”

"Didn't you say it, no matter what company you come to today, you won't see any customers."

Ed interrupted the secretary directly and was about to wash his hands. Suddenly, it seems to wake up, "Which company did you just say?" ”

"Tang Dynasty Company."

"What is the Tang Dynasty Company doing here?"

Although Nokia and Tang Dynasty Company have no direct hatred, their peers are enemies. Not to mention, the Tang Dynasty company is already the enemy of electronic companies in Europe and the United States. Especially the smart phones of Tang Dynasty Electronics, under his leadership, Nokia's high-end mobile phone market has been completely out. I really want to ask, how this is not the enemy. ..., however, after all, there was no direct fight between the two companies. There is no fight between Tang Dynasty and Apple, Tang Dynasty and Microsoft. Now the Tang Dynasty Company has sent people to listen to what they have to say, which is not bad. Then, Ed wiped his face and said to the secretary, "Arrange it, use the break time, I will meet them." ”

"Okay."

Ten minutes later, Ed met with representatives of the Tang Dynasty Company in a reception room.

"Who are you?"

The person who came was not the representative of the Tang Dynasty Company in Europe, let alone an important senior executive of the Tang Dynasty Company, but a representative who had never been seen before.

"Hello, my name is Sun Xiang, an ordinary employee of Tang Dynasty Company in Europe and the United States."

"Hello, what's the matter, we'll have a meeting in a moment."

Ed didn't look very happy on his face.

Although he believes that the Tang Dynasty company is very bullish. However, when I came here, I actually sent only one ordinary clerk. Your sister, what kind of company will Noki Ace be? Nokia was once a giant in the field of mobile phones, and it really has to be said that Nokia's glory back then, the Tang Dynasty company was not born.

"Mr. Ed, is it so urgent to discuss the future of Nokia, or to prepare to sell the company's assets?"

"You...... How do you know? ”

Of course, this is just what Ed said in his heart. Even if he was shocked, how could Tang Dynasty Company know their plans, but as the chairman of Nokia, he still remained calm and said, "This is just a regular meeting of Nokia, if Tang Dynasty Company has nothing to do, I will go to the meeting." ”

Ed said, "Sending off the guest."

"Wait, Mr. Eddard."

"How?"

Ed turned around, and he knew that the Tang Dynasty Company must have something to do with them.

It's just that, in fact, Ed was wrong.

"Mr. Ed, if you're in such a hurry to have a meeting, why are you still seeing me?"

When he said this, Ed's face suddenly became a little ugly.

However, Sun Xiang did not embarrass Ed too much, but said, "Actually, I came here today just to cooperate with your company, but I don't know, is your company willing?" ”

"Haha, didn't Tang Dynasty forget that Nokia has joined the European and American mobile phone integration alliance."

"Of course we know that."

The European and American mobile phone integration alliance has only one purpose, to jointly pit the powerful Tang Dynasty smartphones.

"It's just that your company must know that. With the general trend of the Tang Dynasty company, basically, the European and American mobile phone integration alliance. It is impossible to have much impact on the mobile phones of the Tang Dynasty, at most, it can only slow down the progress of the mobile phones of the Tang Dynasty. But because of this one alliance. During this time, Nokia was dominated by the former mobile phone empire. Today, there are some that are difficult to protect themselves...... Does your company want to stay in this alliance and not save itself? ”

"This ......"

Nokia's current situation is the most depressing.

Although it seems that the market is huge, however, it has sunset. Even if you join the mobile phone alliance, it will be difficult to restore Nokia's market position. At the same time, after joining the alliance. Other companies have been trying to reach Nokia's market. Like Samsung, Apple...... and so on, all want to get a piece of the pie.

"Mr. Ed, what I want to say is that the European and American mobile phone alliances can't save Nokia. Nokia can only cooperate with the Tang Dynasty company, perhaps, you can return to the status of the former mobile phone empire. ”

When this sentence was released, Ed was a little moved.

With the current situation of Nokia, choosing to cooperate with Tang Dynasty Company is the best way. After all, Tang Dynasty's huge media platform, as well as its powerful Tang Dynasty smartphone status, are incomparably attractive to Nokia. For example, as long as Nokia announces a word. Nokia mobile phones use the most top-of-the-line Tang Dynasty smart technology, which will have an incomparably huge attraction for other mobile phones other than Tang Dynasty smartphones. ..., when the time comes, what Samsung, what Apple, what Sony, can only go aside.

"How to cooperate."

After thinking about it in my heart, I finally let Ed say this sentence.

"It's very simple, we can use our own Internet platform, including its website, any media to help Nokia promote in an all-round way."

Sun Xiang said seductively.

"It looks like it's attractive. Well, let's name the conditions of your Tang Dynasty company. I'm sure you wouldn't be so generous if you hadn't gotten something out of Nokia. ”

Ed at this time.

He remembered that Chen Jiayi came to Nokia to buy the technology he gave up, and as a result, Tang Dynasty Company used these technologies to create a Tang Dynasty smartphone from Nuoda. Thinking about it now, it also makes them regret it from time to time. Eventually, though, Nokia figured it out. Even if NGAGE technology is not sold to Tang Dynasty, Nokia will not be able to make NGAGE profitable. Even, it will continue to lose money. At the same time, low-end mobile phone technology is not only unique to Nokia, but also other electronic product companies.

It's just that, after all, this has a bad reputation.

Because, when many media analyzed the success of mobile phones in the Tang Dynasty. It will be said from the sale of NGAGE by Nokia, and these media continue to say it. Nokia never thought that NGAGE, which had been in a halt in their hands, or had never had a market direction, would actually turn decay into magic in the hands of Tang Dynasty companies and create a Tang Dynasty smartphone that changed the direction of history.

Until now, Tang Dynasty Company has come to cooperate with itself. It may seem tempting, but Ed knows it. Tang Dynasty company got it in its own hands. I'm afraid, much more than they have paid.

"It's simple, we just need Nokia to process a small thing."

"What a little thing."

"Phone chips."

"Phone chip?"

Could it be that Tang Dynasty Company has created its own mobile phone chip?

It's still quite possible.

After all, when Tang Dynasty Company entered the field of mobile phones, it had already laid out a big game. For example, in cooperation with VIA Electronics, we have been working on mobile phone chips. Until now, though, there has been little progress. Moreover, the media has not paid much attention to this scientific research institution, which has some laboratory-like scientific research institutions.

However, every year, the Tang Dynasty Company invests a huge amount of money in it, how can it be a waste? Finally, many years later, the Tang Dynasty Company had its own progress. Although, now in the world, no company knows whether the architecture of Tang Dynasty's chips is modeled on others, or whether it has its own innovations......

None of this is the main thing, though.

The most important thing is that no matter whether the electronic chips of the Tang Dynasty company are innovative or imitative. He has begun to get rid of the technical restrictions imposed on him by European and American companies, such as the most core chip technology. If the Tang Dynasty company builds it, it will be brought to the market. Then, the European and American mobile phone integration alliance has no room to play at all.

"What, Mr. Ed, do you still need to think about it?"

Seeing that Ed didn't agree, Sun Xiang continued.

"Actually, it's good for you. On the one hand, the cooperation between Nokia and Tang Dynasty can get rid of the current predicament and help Nokia return to the original mobile phone empire. On the other hand, Nokia can help Tang Dynasty mobile phones to customize chips and generate a huge profit. You must know that the annual sales of smartphones in the Tang Dynasty have reached more than 100 million...... What kind of market is this, I believe your company is absolutely clear. ”

Actually, Sun Xiang doesn't need to say it explicitly.

The mobile phone chip market has always been huge. It's just that because mobile phone chips are produced by each company. Especially in Europe and the United States, their mobile phone chip technology can be completed by themselves. You don't need to buy from Intel or AMD like a computer...... In addition, the price of ordinary mobile phones is not high.

Therefore, for a long time, the mobile phone chip market has not been watched by many people.

Even, in the past few years, many people will only look at mobile phones, and never look at what chip the mobile phone uses. However, after the advent of the era of smartphones led by companies in the Tang Dynasty. Mobile phones are the same as computers, and he needs to check all kinds of hardware configurations. For example, when you buy a smartphone, you need to see what kind of core brand the phone uses. At the same time, how many photographic features does he have...... Wait a minute.

If it can take over the chip market of smart phones in the Tang Dynasty, it can simply bring new life to Nokia.

When he thought of this, Ed was actually moved in his heart.

However, he still needs to think about it for a while.

After all, to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty company is to be the enemy of the entire European and American mobile phone integration alliance.

"We'll think about it and get back to you when the time comes."

"OK, your company can consider it. However, we at Tang Dynasty will not wait too long. I believe, you know it too. In this market, any company will be red-eyed. Even, he can fight for it at any cost. ”

These were Sun Xiang's last words when he left Nokia.
