In addition to Anfeng's headache for his own taxes, Boge Company also has troubles.

With a few years left before the brand's expiration date, the Nokia brand has become a hot topic in the economic world, with the re-enrolment of the Nokia brand becoming a buzzword in the economic world, second only to their upcoming foldable tablet.

According to the inside information of the Hart family, Nokia does not plan to let go of the controlling stake, and on the issue of extending the authorization period, it is estimated that there will be a lot of blood, and the two sides are currently in frequent contact, if the matter is not handled well, it will also involve the company's plan to go public within three years.

An Feng can't help in this regard, and can only be handled by the high-level. Now, Nokia just wants to get more money, or has other deeper purposes - imagine that BOGE will rise because of mobile phones, and the consumer market is so big.

In this case, Nokia is likely to be targeted by mobile phone giants, such as Apple and Samsung, who will buy Nokia at a higher price, cutting off Berg's way to extend brand licensing and launch a fatal blow.

Nokia's current market value is $30 billion, and it is not difficult to buy it with the financial resources of the mobile phone giant, even if it is a loss, it is better than letting Berg dominate, at that time they will not lose tens of billions, but evaporate hundreds of billions of market value. In this case, the mobile phone field has changed dramatically.

On the surface, the new army of Berg is about to be wiped out, and it is likely to be unable to withstand it, and many news media are also worried, but only a few people can see the complex relationship inside, and there is a tech giant that no one dares to underestimate - GP has not taken a position.

GP holds a stake in BOGE, and they provide the batteries, chips and screens. It is equivalent to a non-controlling sub-brand.

Now their attitude is key.

Even though the removal of the Nokia trademark has hit Berg hard, GP's technology has not failed as long as it does not stop. And if GP no longer provides technology to other mobile phone manufacturers other than BOGE, it will be the real end of the world.

Monopoly, you say? It's actually quite easy to fix because GP companies haven't started yet. There is no monopoly to talk about. Moreover, its production capacity is insufficient, cooperation cannot be discussed, and the price is too low, what can you do? Take a few steps back, it is to support puppet enterprises and digest their own products.

Or, more importantly, it has to support a certain mobile phone giant, and other peers will struggle.

So at this time, rumors were rife, and some people said that BOGE had considered officially becoming a GP company. After Nokia's brand license expires, it will produce GP branded equipment; Some people also say that BOGE will consider other brands and develop in a multi-faceted way while the license has not expired; There are even claims that GP has said hello to Nokia and is ready to buy them at a high price and rebuild the brand......

The smoke bombs in the market were released, and no one dared to act rashly at this moment.

An Feng was watching the show from the sidelines, and the methods of the company's senior management were almost blinding him. Fortunately, as a big boss, you can cheat to know how things are going. As the key to Nokia. In terms of one-time profit and long-term future, it is on the side of GP companies.

Finally, at the end of February, BOGE and Nokia reached a new agreement to extend the licensing of the mobile phone brand for 20 years, in return for which BOGE provided a 2% stake and a contract with the foundry. Nokia will also recommend elite employees from the original mobile phone department, or provide factories.

The 2% share could be worth around $5 billion in the future, and in the case of BOGE, it avoided a crisis and secured the brand. This move will maintain at least 100 billion market value. On the whole, GP's strategic mistakes have affected the present day, but they are still the ones who have the last laugh.

If the company uses the trademark "GP" instead, the loss will be even greater, first of all, it will miss the best promotion opportunity, fail to grasp the novelty and fashion that consumers need, and lose tens of billions of yuan; The booming Nokia suddenly let go, and the investment in publicity and advertising must be at least a billion.

The most important thing is that GP's supply of screens and superchips cannot be stopped, it is at least tens of billions a year!

If An Feng hadn't touched Nokia at the beginning, he would have used the trademark "GP" directly...... But there was no spare money at the beginning, and it did not meet the purpose of cashing out the traps. And if he sells the stock, it will affect the reputation of the GP company. An Feng didn't want to ruin the future of GP Mobile because he sold his shares to cash out.

GP Mobile has not yet been established, but its strategy is to subvert the concept of mobile devices in the future, and will integrate all mobile products through higher technology, so the concept of "mobile phone" is too narrow to be suitable for it, which is why Anfeng did not set up GP Mobile at the beginning.

Taking over Nokia from Microsoft turned out to be the right solution.

In any case, things have finally calmed down. The Berg company has 20 years, and after two or three years of listing, Joanna can cash out through the securities company of the consortium and quietly earn pocket money. An Feng believes that compared with the profit of mobile phone sales, cashing out is still the most straightforward.

……

The news media that followed the matter also began to adjust their rhetoric.

The government is also relieved, especially for the United Kingdom, which rarely sees the hope of industry, and finally reassures. The decline is already an established reality, and An Feng thinks that they are only worth the background, that is, he feels that the title of nobility is still worth a little money...... Because he can support his wife.

The declining empire is not easy, it is rare to see a very promising mobile phone manufacturing industry, maintained, is expected to produce a large enterprise with a market value of more than 100 billion, if it really collapses because of brand licensing, whether it is from the tax or from the face point of view, it is terrible.

Now that it has been resolved peacefully, the local government and the parties are also happy.

As a token of appreciation, the Prime Minister's Cabinet and the Prime Minister personally invited the shareholders of the company to participate in a number of private meetings to discuss business opportunities and preferential policies, in addition to thanking the capitalists. As a key figure, Joanna naturally cannot be absent.

This is also in line with An Feng's considerations, since his strange ideas came out, it is equivalent to pushing Joanna to the forefront, whether it is the female boss of Liverpool or the dazzle, or the big philanthropist. She is destined to not be low-key, so she simply promotes behind the scenes to create a positive image.

They made their debut in Devon, in the west of England.

Located in the Hart family's luxurious estate, unlike many traditional estates that have fallen into decay or become scenic spots, the Hart family's wealth allows them to easily maintain the estate. Fransen's father also had the title of count, and was a true hereditary aristocratic family.

It was a private dinner. Some of the partners involved in the consortium included the Prime Minister, his wife, and key members of the Prime Minister's Cabinet. In the spacious and luxurious dining room, more than a dozen guests sit at long tables, and well-organized maids are silently busy.

The servants served the table with shiny stainless steel cutlery, exquisite dishes with ceramic plates, and some yellow tablecloths as a backdrop, highlighting the elegant style of the banquet, and the guests in gorgeous costumes gathered together. Eating a meal is full of learning.

An Feng put the folded napkin on his lap. Approaching Joanna, she muttered, "It's like a TV series." ”

Joanna appreciated: "The host entertained us with a very high standard from the house, which proved that he was serious. ”

"I think so." An Feng nodded, "But I thought I was going to No. 10 Downing Street and eat at the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"Don't make me laugh." Joanna smiled on her face, but her hand pinched his thigh underneath, and An Feng grabbed her hand and pressed it on her leg.

"Don't mess around." She reminded.

"You came first!" An Feng's lips moved slightly.

"Bold!" Joanna also playfully stretched out her other hand to fight back, and no one could see their small movements under the table. The surrounding guests looked as usual.

"Mr. Ann?" A voice rang out.

An Feng stopped his movements and looked up at the first seat. Mr. Hart looked at him with a smile on his face: "You are satisfied with the dining environment here, right?" ”

"Very good." An Feng nodded, "It's rare to experience the original British banquet now, and it's my honor to be able to participate." ”

Old Mr. Hart was obviously pleased with the guest's satisfaction, and his eyes fell on Joanna, who smiled: "It makes me feel like I was a child. ”

Hart smiled: "Just make it your home, we lack youth here." Your arrival will surely add a lot of brilliance. ”

"Thank you for the invitation, Earl Creddon." Joanna said politely, "But we have an itinerary tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so we can only regret next time." ”

"It's okay, I'm always welcome." Hart smiled. The eyes of the surrounding crowd are very appreciative of Joanna, her background is clear to everyone, and this style is naturally cultivated since childhood, whether it is tone, attitude or gaze, it is very in place, and it is elegant.

There were a lot of guests at the dinner, and the old earl, as the host, also greeted him personally, and occasionally said a word to enliven the atmosphere, but most of them were English cold humor, An Feng saw everyone laughing, and he also reacted with laughter, but fortunately, he was used to getting along with Joanna.

It took three and a half hours at the dining table, and there was a chat in the living room after the end. In fact, it is to get to know An Feng, the core, and other partners of the consortium, and then deal with politicians. Although he is young, his every move can affect the world, and neither the earl nor the prime minister dares to underestimate him.

I just don't know how the prime minister got around the issue of graphene technology, so An Feng doesn't know where to start, in detail, no one present can understand, simple to come, it feels like a lot. In the end, it was attributed to a miraculous collective mental activity, not as exaggerated as the consortium said.

The Prime Minister smiled and said: "I believe that Mr. Ahn must have provided a very crucial help here, otherwise he would not have been hailed as a genius by everyone." ”

"Maybe." An Feng did not learn the endless modesty of the Britons.

The British Prime Minister has seen a lot on TV, and it is the first time to meet face-to-face, An Feng feels like that, he has also seen a lot of heads of state, and the President of the United States still clinks glasses and drinks with him and tells jokes, the big scene is just you and me anyway, each touching each other's hobbies.

An Feng received an affirmative answer from the Prime Minister's words, and he will provide support for Joanna, who has brought many contributions, and the royal family is also paying attention to her. Last time, she brought good development to the military industry, and this time she promoted industrial technology and gave the country a long face. There must be some understanding behind this, and the award is inevitable, but it should not be too frequent, and it may be re-nominated every one or two years, waiting for the ripe time.
