Chapter 425: What Did We Do Wrong?

(.) Zhou Liwen and Lee Jae-hyun have reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, but how to cooperate, or how to achieve their respective goals, is still up for debate. But in any case, the cooperation between Zhou Liwen and Lee Jae-hyun, or Lee Meng-hee and his son, has a foundation, and both sides are strongly dissatisfied with Lee Kun-hee and his son, and the target is also Samsung Group.

One outside, the other inside, this is a powerful force, and it is an unprecedented crisis for the Samsung Group controlled by Lee Kun-hee and his son. What's more, Zhou Liwen has also instigated Corning in the United States, and passed a repurchase resolution against Samsung Corning at the board of directors, with a few prongs, if Li Jianxi and his son still firmly grasp the power of Samsung Group, they may teach them a lesson at most, but don't forget that now Li Jianxi is different from the past, he is being entangled in a lawsuit, and Li Jae-chrome is a gentleman, and his ability is far worse than his father.

Zhou Liwen and Lee Jae-hyun did not have an in-depth discussion about the equity issue specific to Samsung Group, because they both understood that the verbal agreement was just a verbal agreement, and if Samsung Group could not be brought over, these empty words would be empty after all. Moreover, the comparison of the strength of the two sides is also obvious, and those who do not have the strength have no right to speak.

The two chatted for a long time that day, and it wasn't until they finished saying everything they should have said that Zhou Liwen was ready to leave. And Lee Jae-hyun must also rush back to South Korea as soon as possible, his visit to the United States this time is extremely secret, for fear of revealing the news. Before leaving, Lee Jae-hyun expressed his faux pas to Zhou Liwen with a grateful and ashamed expression, and promised Zhou Liwen that when Zhou Liwen had time to go to South Korea, he would definitely arrange a feast for him, and then the most famous actress in South Korea would be accompanied, and Zhou Liwen could take whatever he liked, even if he packed it all and took it back to play with him, Li Zai-hyun did not frown.

After saying a few words with a smile, Zhou Liwen sent Li Zaixian away, looking at the way he deliberately waved to himself when he got into the car, Zhou Liwen secretly scolded this old pimp in his heart for having no bottom line, and he could even think of such an arrangement. For Korean artificial beauties, Zhou Liwen is not interested in the slightest, and only Koreans themselves will treat them as treasures. If it weren't for Lee Jae-hyun's usefulness to Zhou Liwen, just based on what he said just now, Zhou Liwen couldn't wait to put a kick on his face

Although Sha Zihao's foundry is gradually resuming production, the damage and impact in the early stage are still very large. The loss of a large number of skilled workers, including technicians, has led to the fact that it will take at least half a year for the foundry to fully recover. To this end, Zhou Liwen asked Heijiang to cooperate and transferred some skilled workers from the Heijiang foundry, hoping to shorten this time.

But in any case, OR's plan for this year can no longer be completed, and it will be next year that OR will make a comeback after losing the world's No. 1 title. According to preliminary calculations, the OR company suffered heavy losses this time, and with the decline in stock prices, Zhou Liwen's worth has shrunk a lot, and he almost lost his rich status.

But in the world's smartphone industry, there are still people who are more depressed than the OR company, which is the former Hi original mobile phone industry overlord Nokia. Nowadays, with the advent of smart phones, the pattern of the world's mobile phone industry has changed greatly, and the once-brilliant Nokia company has almost become a thing of yesterday. Although Nokia has launched several smartphones in a row, and it is as good as ever in terms of mobile phone quality and system stability, the market just does not recognize it, and looking at the declining sales volume, Nokia's upper echelons are anxious.

Espoo, Finland's second largest city, is located in the south of Finland. Globally, Finland is a small European country, so although the city of Espoo is famous in Finland, not many people in the world know about it.

But this little-known city has given rise to a multinational company that is famous all over the world, which is Nokia, the former overlord of the mobile phone industry.

Nokia's headquarters are located here, and while the building is still majestic in the sunlight compared to its glory days of previous years, it has an indescribable sense of depression. And today, in the face of the sales report sent by Mr. Zhao Kelin, senior vice president, Mr. Iughe, the chairman and president of the company. Mr. Ollilah did not speak for a long time.

"Mr. Sir" Zhao Colin saw that Ollila was looking at the report with the data printed in front of him and was stunned, and couldn't help but shout a few times to him.

"How so? How can this be" Ollila finally moved in Zhao Kelin's soft shout, his stiff face gradually became vivid, but his face was full of sadness and frustration, and he muttered to himself: "Why is this happening? Are we doing something wrong? Giles, you tell me where we did wrong

"We didn't do anything wrong......." Zhao Colin replied with a sad voice, as a former Nokia leader and the best marketing manager and sales manager in the entire group, he knew very well why Aurela asked this. Because this report shows that Nokia's market share continues to plummet this year, it has fallen from the hegemony of the year 3 to less than 1o% spoon situation, and this data is not the bottom, according to the data of the last quarter, it has fallen by a quarter of the share, and it is likely that it will not be long before Nokia can not even keep the share of O.

No one could have imagined that a powerful business empire could have changed so much in just a few years. What's more, Nokia has always adhered to the principle that quality is life, and its products have an excellent reputation for both quality and performance, even now Nokia has not lost this reputation in the tide of smart phones, whether it is a user, or a former user, the reliability of Nokia mobile phones is excellent.

But why did this happen? Ollila couldn't figure out why, had the world become unrecognizable to him? Nokia didn't do anything wrong, but he didn't know why things ended up like this, this question has been bothering him for a long time, but he still can't find an answer, and can only watch the business empire he created slide to the brink of destruction step by step and irretrievable.

"Can the marketing department think of a way? Maybe our markdown promotion can boost sales? Ollila asked Zhao Colin with anticipation.

Zhao Colin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have thought of all the ways I can think of, including price reductions and promotions, launching new products in advance, increasing the functions of business models, etc., but Ollila, all this is useless, everything is useless, you know?" The whole market doesn't know what's wrong, it seems that all consumers have lost faith in our products, and we are like we have been suddenly abandoned by God"

"Abandoned by God...... Ollilah repeated the phrase as he suddenly shouted in a loud voice: "No, we will never be abandoned by God, absolutely not, Nokia is an empire, an empire of commercial wonders, and I will never allow it to end like this"

"Ollila, I understand your feelings, but the truth is ......." Zhao Colin sighed and said: "Since the emergence of smart phones, our product market has lost its glory of the year, and it has become more and more bad in recent years, and what is more strange is that our smart phones are not worse than or Samsung, Apple, HTC and other brands in terms of performance, and even much stronger than them in terms of system stability, but the result is ......." If God has not forsaken us, then what is the problem? What exactly are we doing wrong? ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Ollila was stunned, holding his head in his hands, this question he couldn't answer, and Zhao Colin couldn't answer either, because neither of them knew what was wrong with them.

"How's the negotiations with Microsoft?" Aurela was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked.

Nokia's negotiation with Microsoft was decided just a few months ago, and although Ollila is very confident that his operating system is fine, even extremely good, but he doesn't know what's going on, and the market just doesn't sell it. At this time, Nokia executives such as Ollila vaguely realized that perhaps their operating system was not accepted by consumers, resulting in smartphones...

Fail. In order to change this situation, Nokia decided to find an alliance to further improve the operating system, and their choice was, of course, Microsoft, the world's number one software company.

"The negotiations are going well, and Microsoft has made commitments, but this is not something that can be changed in a short period of time, after all, it takes time and technological breakthroughs for a system to be perfected." Zhao Colin replied helplessly, he is responsible for the cooperation with Microsoft, Microsoft has shown great sincerity, and Bill Gates also promised him that in response to Nokia's requirements, Microsoft will do its best to make new plans for them, but it will take some time, I hope Nokia will not be anxious, as long as it is completed, Nokia will be reborn like a phoenix and regain the glory of the hegemon.

This is also the most important point that Microsoft can impress Nokia, for this reason, both Ollila and Zhao Colin have pinned their hopes on Microsoft, they are eager to see Microsoft can come up with a more powerful mobile phone operating system on the basis of the original system, so as to defeat the opponent and regain the glory of the year.

However, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel. In true history, the cooperation between Nokia and Microsoft has not saved this business empire, but has caused Nokia to slide into the abyss step by step, and finally failed completely.

Speaking of Microsoft and Bill Gates, this company, including Bill Gates, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although Microsoft is the largest overlord of computer operating systems and the world's largest software company. But in fact, whether it is Microsoft or Bill Gates, to put it bluntly, they are all cheaters.

Back then, Bill Gates relied on his mother's rights to get the blue giant's IHN Mouth Netr spoon thigh, and got this rare opportunity, Bill Gates and his partners boldly promised IH on the basis of no product, and even persuaded the other party with a three-inch tongue to withdraw a fee in advance, so as to take over the operating system project.

After getting the money, Bill Gates recruited on the one hand, and on the other hand, bought a prototype of a basic version of the operating system from someone for a small amount of money, and then named it HB System, and then crowned it with the Microsoft logo. Then, he modified it slightly, and handed over the flawed and unfunctioning system to IHM as a result, and gave it to IHM, and cheated IHM hard.

After getting the system, IHM was overjoyed and hurriedly installed it on their newly opened PC, but they were dumbfounded. Not to mention that this operating system is full of loopholes, and it crashes at every turn, which is simply a cheat. The furious person in charge immediately approached Bill Gates and asked him to explain what was going on.

At that time, the young Bill Gates held his glasses in his hand, with a confused and innocent expression, like a college student who had not been deeply involved in the world. After listening carefully to the other party's reprimand, he shrugged his shoulders and told the other party innocently that he knew that there was a problem with the system, but because the time for IHNF urging was too tight, Microsoft had not had time to optimize it, and if IH gave him a little more time, he could guarantee that he would come up with an operating system that fully met the requirements after modification.

This answer made the other party angry, this is simply a fight against Zhu Bajie, but it is unwise to turn his face with Bill Gates at this time, because the cooperation on the operating system has long been approved by the board of directors, and once it makes a big fuss, the person in charge will be unlucky. Moreover, although Bill Gates is young, his parents are not ordinary people, especially his mother's huge influence at the top of IHM, which is not something that he, the project leader, can offend. Holding back his anger, the person in charge reluctantly accepted Bill Gates's statement and promised to give him a little more time to optimize the HB system.

In this way, Bill Gates's empty glove white wolf method was completely successful, and after gaining valuable time, he did work with technicians to optimize the HB system, and came up with an optimized version under the constant urging of IHM, and even an ultimatum. Try it out,Which garbage is much better before this optimized version of H Qiqi,Although it can be used reluctantly,But there are still a lot of bhg,Seeing this situation,The person in charge of the IHNR spoon found Bill Gates again,Ask what's going on。

This time, Bill Gates behaved not like a college student who was not deeply involved in the world like last time, but like a seasoned businessman. He smiled and told the other party that this was the first version, and according to the contract with Microsoft, Microsoft had completed the task. Of course, if the other party needs to add functions and further improve, Microsoft can also do it, then it must open a second version, of course, because the version is different, the cost is not the same, in other words, it means that IHM pays for the upgraded version.

After receiving this reply, the person in charge of the IHHNR spoon project almost fainted, but in the end he was forced to reluctantly agree to Bill Gates' request. In this way, relying on this opportunity and means, Microsoft has become the most successful software company in one fell swoop through the mouth of IHNR. And Bill Gates also ascended to the throne of the world's richest in a few years.

But from the beginning to the present, Microsoft still does not live up to its name as the world's largest software company. Their operating system accounts for more than 3% of the personal computer share, but until now, the vulnerabilities of their operating system have never decreased, and it has become a habit for Microsoft's Windows operating system to patch every once in a while, which shows that their operating system actually has great flaws from the beginning.

Like such a cheating company and the chairman of the cheating father, Nokia is simply blind to pin its last hope on Microsoft and Bill Gates. And the fact is that on the one hand, by fooling Nokia, and on the other hand, by constantly infiltrating Nokia, Microsoft finally completed the feat of swallowing Nokia by using this tried-and-true means.

If history does not change, a few years later, the once glorious Nokia will be played to death by itself and Microsoft, and thus acquired by Microsoft. After the acquisition of Nokia, Microsoft used the advantages of the other party to officially enter the telecom and tablet countries.

Ollila and Zhao Colin are both good at running businesses, especially Zhao Colin is a genius in the opposite side of marketing and sales. It's a pity that they are not professionals, because of their narrow vision, they don't recognize where Nokia's real problems are, and because they are too superstitious about Microsoft and the promise of strength and Bill Gates, they put their last hope in the hands of an unreliable object.

"Did Nokia ask for anything?" Aurela asked.

Zhao Colin nodded, took out a document from the folder he was carrying, handed it over, and said, "This is exactly what I want to report to you, Microsoft asked us to pay an upfront fee of $1.56 million first, and this is their official letter." ”

"$1.56 million?" O'Lella was taken aback, took it and looked at it carefully, this thing is indeed from Microsoft, it is clearly written that according to the agreement between the two parties, Microsoft undertakes Nokia's research on the mobile phone operating system, according to the content of the agreement, Nokia is now required to pay $1.56 million as an upfront to ensure the work of the software.

$1.56 million, if a few years ago this money was nothing for Ollila and Nokia, but now with Nokia's market share declining, the company's finances are already a little tight.

"Giles, you know what this money means to the company now, how long do you think Microsoft will be able to come up with a market-accepted operating system if it gets this money?" Ollila hesitated for a moment and asked Zhao Kelin.

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Zhao Colin said frankly: "But I know one thing, if we don't pay this money, the other party will not open the software according to the agreement, so this is a gamble, if you win, let alone 1.56 million US dollars, it is worth more, but if you lose, what use can this 1.56 million come in?" ”

Ollila's face was cloudy, and he struggled inwardly for a while before finally sighing, "You're right, Giles, maybe it's time to make a choice...... As he spoke, he put his hand...

He reached for the pen that was placed aside and prepared to sign the document.

(Have a great weekend everyone!) And ask for recommendation votes! Pass! Golden Keyboard Ticket! Thanks for the support!)
