(.) "I'm sorry"

At this moment, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and the somewhat annoyed Ollila was about to shout angrily, but when he saw that it was his other deputy, Vice President Marshall, who had come in, he was almost on the lips of the words and swallowed them back.

"What's so urgent?" Zhao Colin frowned and said, Marshall's status in Nokia is not lower than him, and he has been in the headquarters for a longer time than him, but no matter what, before entering the door, especially when entering the president's office, knocking on the door is the minimum courtesy, where is there a direct break in like him?

Marshall and the vice president of administration, of course, knew that it was a bit reckless for them to come in like this, but he didn't mean to forget to knock on the door, because he had an urgent matter to report to Ollila.

"Bell Electronic Technology Group Inc?" When Marshall told Ollila and Zhao Colin something, the two immediately looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

"What is the ...... between this Bell Electronic Technology Group and Bell of the United States?"

"No, no, they don't have anything to do with each other at all." Marshall replied: "This Bell Electronics Group is a European company, headquartered in France, founded by a former senior executive at Siemens in Germany, and it and Bell in the United States are completely two companies. ”

"Marshall, is that why you broke in and interrupted my conversation with Aurelia out of courtesy?" Hearing what the other party said, Zhao Kelin's face suddenly sank, don't think that the company's infighting is a habit of Chinese, in fact, it also exists in Western countries. Although Zhao Colin, who is slightly less qualified than Marshall, is now equal to his status at Nokia, the relationship can only be said to be ordinary, and because the cooperation with Microsoft should have been in charge of Marshall, the executive vice president, Zhao Colin, who was engaged in marketing and sales, took advantage of the good relationship between him and Ollila to snatch this negotiation power.

In Zhao Kelin's view, Marshall's breaking into the president's office without knocking on the door today was obviously a demonstration against him. Especially for a small, unknown company reason to use as a shield, is it a fool to take him for a fool? If he didn't give the other person an immediate blow, or show his displeasure to Ollila in this way, maybe Marshall would take the opportunity to climb on his head.

What is Bell Electronics Group Inc.? In today's world, countless new companies are born every minute, and countless companies go out of business. A company that is not well-known in the industry at all finds them Nokia is hoping that Nokia will give some cooperation and seek business opportunities. Not to mention that the founder of this company is a former senior executive of Siemens, even if it is a former senior executive of IHM? If he represented Siemens, it might have been a different story, but what is it now

Marshall glanced at Zhao Colin with some annoyance, of course he could hear the purpose of Zhao Colin deliberately asking in this tone, but Marshall did not quarrel with Zhao Colin face-to-face, but said to Ollila, who was sitting: "Although this company is not a big company, and it is not well-known in the industry, the person who came was introduced by Ms. Shi." ”

"What Ms. Shi? When did we Nokia become a Chinese company? A casual introduction by a person can interrupt a conversation between a president and a vice president? Zhao Colin frowned and suddenly said dissatisfied, he thought that after he said this, Ollila, as the president, would reprimand Marshall, and even kicked him out of the office unceremoniously. But who would have thought that instead of doing this, Ollila was stunned.

"Ms. Shi? You're talking about the lady of France? Ollilah hurriedly asked.

Marshall nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I forgot to knock on the door in a moment's hurry, Ollila, I'm very sorry for my rude ......." ”

"It's okay, you didn't do anything wrong." In Zhao Kelin's puzzled gaze, Ollila waved his hand at Marshall very generously.

"Mr. Bell is here in person?" Looking at the business card, Ollila asked.

"Yes, I've arranged him in the small living room for the time being, and the other party wants to talk to you."

Ollilah thought for a moment and said, "Well, bring him to my office in five minutes." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it now." Marshall agreed, then didn't look at Zhao Kelin, turned around and left the president's office.

"Ollilah......?" Zhao Kelin couldn't have imagined that this would be the case, and he spoke very suspiciously.

"Giles, Ms. Shi is a very distinguished lady, and I have to meet the person she introduced me no matter what. I'm very sorry, but I'll leave this document on Microsoft with me for the time being, and I'll deal with it after I've negotiated it with the guests. ”

"Okay." Zhao Colin got up and said, but he still felt strange, who is this Ms. Shi? Why can't he remember anything about it?

Perhaps seeing his doubts, Ollila smiled and said a family title, and pointed out that Ms. Shi was not only an independent director of France Telecom, but also an important member of the family. When he heard the deafening family name, Zhao Colin was surprised, he never thought that the other party would have such a big background, if the most famous royal family in Europe is the British royal family, then the other party's family is no less than the British royal family in terms of history and connotation, but compared with the nominal British national symbol, this family has withdrawn from politics on the surface, but in another way it still manipulates the political changes of the European big 6, And the wealth he has privately is far greater than that of the glamorous British royal family.

A big man like this is a level that Zhao Colin couldn't get in touch with before, not to mention that he was the head of the Asian region before returning to the headquarters as vice president, and he didn't know some of the secrets of the big 6 in Europe. But even so, the energy and influence of this family are so great, Zhao Kelin has heard of it. He never imagined that a little-known company would have the recommendation of the main member of the family, and even the surname of this main member seemed to be a Chinese surname.

Confused and puzzled, Zhao Colin left Ollila's office. Within minutes of his departure, Marshall entered with a middle-aged man pushing the door open.

"Hello and welcome to Nokia, Mr. Bell." Ollila was polite to the guests, took the initiative to turn out from behind the desk, and stepped forward to shake hands with the other party.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ollilah, and it's an honor to be here at Nokia's headquarters, Nokia is a great company, not only a source of pride for Finland, but also for us Europeans." Bell smiled and shook Ollila's hand while complimenting Nokia.

At the moment of shaking hands, Bell still had a slight excitement and excitement in his heart, knowing that when he was a senior director at Siemens, Nokia was already the undoubted hegemon in the world's mobile phone industry. Not to mention facing the head of Nokia, even if he comes to Nokia's headquarters in the name of Siemens, it is estimated that there will not be too many opportunities to see the vice president, and it is impossible for the president's office to come in, let alone shake hands with Ollila like now.

The reason for this opportunity, Bell is secretly glad that the drinking party two years ago, which he was just looking for an opportunity to participate in for the new company he started a new company, actually brought great changes to his life. It was during this drinking party that he happened to meet Zhou Liwen who concealed his identity, and it was very coincidental that as a fan of Zhou Liwen, Bell recognized the other party at a glance.

Then, Bell did not recklessly inform everyone of Zhou Liwen's identity, but appropriately covered for Zhou Liwen, thus winning Zhou Liwen's favor. And at this cocktail party, he met Shi Wen through Zhou Liwen, and after the cocktail party, it was because of a small accident that Zhou Liwen owed himself a little favor.

Maybe this favor is not worth mentioning in Zhou Liwen's eyes, but it is a change for Bell. After that, Zhou Liwen took the initiative to give...

He had an opportunity to cooperate, and Bell also firmly seized this opportunity, and in just half a year, his small company got a very good exhibition.

Subsequently, Bell's company grew bigger and bigger with the help of Zhou Liwen and Shi Wen, and Shi Wen also proposed to him to take a stake in his company last year. Faced with this suggestion, Bell did not hesitate and immediately agreed. Although this cooperation led to a significant reduction in Bell's stake in the company, from about 2% to about 3%, the company's largest shareholder became Shi Wen. But in the same way, the company's share restructuring also brought great opportunities to Bell, although he was reduced in terms of the proportion of shares, but his assets increased more than tenfold in one night in terms of share value and wealth.

In addition, after Shi Wen became the owner of Bell Company, she did not compete for the company's management rights and dominance, but continued to be responsible for the company's operation, and even continued to serve as the company's chairman. In the following year, Bell continued to expand, and now has become a well-known high-tech electronics company in France and even Europe, with the resources of Zhou Liwen and Shi Wen, although it is not well known to the outside world, but the company's future is bright.

tentatively inquired about the relationship between Bell and Shi Wen, and Bell did not hide it, and told Ollila bluntly that Bell Technology Electronics Group Company is actually Shi Wen's industry, and he, the chairman and president, is only the second largest shareholder. When Ollila learned of this, Ollila became even more enthusiastic about Bell, smiling and chatting with Bell about electronics. Nokia is a manufacturer in the mobile phone industry, and although the main products of the two sides are different, they still have a common language in a wide range of electronic topics, not to mention that Bell used to be a senior executive at Siemens, and he is also an expert in this area.

"So, Bell has now cooperated with telecommunications operators in some electronic businesses?"

"Yes, not only that, but our company also has a long-term plan for the machinery manufacturing industry, and last month we also received an industrial order from the Belgian government." Taking a sip of coffee, Bell replied with a smile.

"Good start, congratulations, Mr. Bell." Ollila said with a smile after hearing this, but his heart moved, because he knew which order Bell was talking about, although the total amount of this order was not large, but because the Belgian government was very demanding, there were many competitors. In Europe, where there are many strong players, although Bell has Shi Wen's background, it is definitely not luck to be able to get this order through the approval of the Belgian government. You must know that although Belgium is a small country, it also has unique industrial characteristics, which is enough to show the strength of Bell Company.

"Thank you, Mr. Ollilah, although it was an attempt, at least it didn't disappoint me." Bell replied with a modest smile, but the pride in his expression could not be concealed.

Smiled and nodded, Ollila asked Bell what he really meant today, the other party always came for a purpose, and he wouldn't come to chat with him for no reason, right? Similarly, Ollira is now curious about why Bell found their Nokia, because in his opinion, although the products of the two sides are interoperable, they are not in the same industry, and cooperation seems unlikely.

"Nokia is a great company, and you, Mr. Ollilah, are also a wizard of European business. To say a compliment, I have a lot of respect for Nokia including you personally, maybe you don't believe it, my first, second and third mobile phones are all Nokia products, and they have brought me a very reliable and trusting guarantee during use. ”

"Really? If that's the case, I'm very happy, I didn't expect Mr. Bell to be our loyal user. Hearing this, Ollila's heart is very happy, as the president of a company, when the chairman of another company with a lot of background says in front of you that he likes your product and is a loyal user of your product, who will not be happy?

Especially like Nokia, a former mobile phone empire, and Ollila himself, who created this imperial miracle, in the current situation that Nokia is beaten to the ground by other smartphones, and he is struggling to support it, such a statement makes him even more excited, because it reminds him of the glorious era of Nokia's invincibility in the world.

But who would have thought that before Ollila could be happy for a few minutes, Bell, who was sitting across from him, shattered the pride in his heart with another sentence and pulled him into the cruel reality.

"It's just a pity that Nokia seems to be in trouble now." With regret and helplessness in his expression, Bell shook his head and took out two mobile phones from his pocket and placed them in front of him, one of which was a Nokia product and the other was an OR product.

"Looking at these two phones, to be honest, I chose the Nokia that I always liked when I bought it, because like I said before, I have always used your product because it gives me a guarantee of reliability and trust. But Mr. Ollila, it's a pity that when a friend recommended this phone to me, I felt that there are many aspects that you Nokia can't achieve, and maybe to sum it up in one sentence, that is, the sophistication and intelligence brought by technology. ”

"Mr. Bell, Nokia is the best, and it's also the safest. As for technology and intelligence, maybe you haven't used our latest model, but if you do, it will change your opinion. Ollila, who had been smiling a moment before, became serious and irritated the next, and he retorted very unceremoniously.

"Are you talking about the style that was launched last month?" Bell said a model in his mouth, and when he saw Ollila nodding, he shook his head and said: "I didn't buy this phone myself, but I tried it, and it wasn't what you said, but I think it's worse than the one I have." ”

"Mr. Bell" At this time, Ollila was a little embarrassed, could it be that the other party came here today to deliberately slap himself in the face? Accusing their products in front of their own president? It's just too much.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Ollilah personally." Bell said calmly: "This is a fact, and as the president of Nokia, I am sure you also know what the reaction of this new phone is in the market." If it's really as good as you say, why isn't it selling as much as the old model? ”

"It's ...... This is because of ....... Ollila's face turned a little red, and he had just said half a sentence, when he suddenly changed his words with a calm face: "Mr. Bell, if you are here today to accuse us of Nokia by a former user, then I can tell you unequivocally that there seems to be no need for our conversation to continue. ”

Seeing Ollila's annoyed look, Bell smiled instead, waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Ollila." I know that Nokia is facing a lot of difficulties right now, and as a user who loves Nokia products, and as a European, I don't want to see such a brilliant company go to the abyss. What's more, as I said before, you are also one of the people I respect the most, and I am here today for no other purpose than to help Nokia, hoping that it and you will return to its former glory. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Bell, you have a heart, thank you." Aurela was stunned at first, then wary, and although he had regained his composure on the surface, the rejection and perfunctory expression in his mouth were palpable. Perhaps, his next sentence is to invite the guests away, although this may offend people, but as the president of Nokia, a strongman who created this business empire, he never believed that there was a pie in the sky. In his opinion, Bell's words are all to hide the real purpose of the other party, perhaps those predators see Nokia's current predicament and want to take this opportunity to dismember or even annex his business empire.

Ollila's speculation is not impossible, as early as the glory days of Nokia, countless capitals in Europe, including the world, wanted to get this company into its arms. If it weren't for the strength of Ollira and the strength of Nokia's original scale, it might have been succeeded by the other party. And now, although Nokia has gone downhill, but on the whole, this...

Companies still have great value, and capital is coming back like nasty flies in this situation, which is not surprising, perhaps Bell and the people behind him are playing this purpose.

(Do you still have a ticket o support it!) Thank you!)
