Chapter 289: Cooperation
The mobile phone and the system are available, but there are still shortcomings to consider.
If the negotiations are successful, the Nokia brand logo will have six or seven years to live, which means that a mobile phone company can be set up and products can be issued using the "NOKIA" logo. Even though Nokia has declined, it still has a strong brand appeal, and the equipment is good enough.
Combined with product features, appeal and other factors, if you create a new brand, it takes time and energy to start from scratch, and in the case of Nokia, it has a huge number of potential customers, which can be seen from the fact that after it was acquired by Microsoft, everyone has been remembering. So he chose the latter.
Creative, technological and more flexible systems, have covered the characteristics of popular mobile phones, An Feng has strong confidence in the new mobile phone, has collected so many highlights and advantages, and does not require the first, squeezed into the top five lines, right? He felt that it should not be too difficult.
Besides, Lord Anfeng asks for fame, not profit.
Just like Qatar once offered a high price to buy Manchester United, they value its profitability? No, it's more about improving their international influence, and then pulling a little football gene to promote the World Cup, Qatar is also a country that loves football and so on.
In a short period of time, if the mobile phone envisioned by Anfeng can be put into production, the probability of success is very high, and it will bring a lot of profits, and most importantly, let a brand be resurrected, or in the sunset land of the United Kingdom! There have been no mobile phones in the UK that deserve the attention of the world, and the UK's manufacturing industry is also on the verge of decline, and now they are busy switching to the service industry or the financial industry.
If it really happens, as a miracle maker, it will be very reasonable on the face.
There is one more point after the worst: making money.
Nokia's brand still has more than six years of use rights left, and it seems that the time limit is running out, but how many mobile phone brands can be prosperous for ten years and ten years? Not a few. It is generally the hottest for a few years. Then take the opportunity to make money, and after the emergence of competitors, they will decline according to the laws of nature.
So take advantage of the past six years or so, earn as much as you can, and everyone will disperse when it's over.
In terms of Anfeng's grand strategy, it is only a transitional period. In the future, there will be more advanced products, from today's batteries to chips, to the bio-beverages that are taking a wave...... The scope will expand in all directions, and at the end it will form a large, intertwined manufacturing empire.
β¦β¦
An Feng was typing on the computer in the courtyard with a full of ideas.
Joanna wondered: "What have you been typing into the computer lately, have you been busy with things?" β
An Feng revealed something to her: "I have thought of some very good ideas, which will give a lot of surprises and surprises to the world, and it will be more convenient." β
"What is it?" She brought a round-sided stool and sat down in front of him. Full of anticipation of digging secrets.
An Feng was defeated by her inquisitive eyes and surrendered: "Okay, let me tell you a little bit in advance, I am giving advice to the mobile phone designed by the company." β
"Cell phone?" Joanna asked.
"That's right!" An Feng picked up the sample on the table, "Of course it's quite ugly now, but I can tell you that it will be thinner in the future, due to the development of battery technology and nanoelectronic technology." Its circuit board will be compressed into a small piece, and the volume of the battery will be very small. β
"And then." An Feng bent the screen. "Even if it bends to this extent, or falls from a height, it can still be used normally, and if the seal is sufficient, soak it in water...... If the battery is dead, don't worry. We also have solar charging technology, which has an energy conversion rate of up to 50%. β
"Doesn't it mean that the phone is out of battery, just bask in the sun?" Joanna said.
"Of course, solar cells are also one of GP's major projects, and will be used in power generation and aerospace technology in the future." An Feng said.
"So you decided to invest in the mobile phone industry?" Joanna asked.
"Yes."
"Have you thought about it being accepted by consumers?" Joanna asked.
Later, Bazel's friend asked the same.
An Feng asked rhetorically: "What do you think is the reason for Apple's acceptance?" Vogue? Stable? What about Android phones? Opening? Beautiful? Regardless of these reasons, if I say that they can be had, the new system also has it, because of its system, it is very compatible with software, and they don't have the technology, I will also add it, not only in hardware, but also in terms of appearance and creativity. If you put together all the features that a popular phone should have, does it have a good chance of becoming a new hit? β
The other person asked, "Is it really so omnipotent?" β
"A must." An Feng said, if it doesn't work...... He confessed.
Of course, he is not arrogant enough to think that with these characteristics alone, he will break into the top ten in the world tomorrow, explode the top five chrysanthemums the day after tomorrow, and step on Apple and Samsung the day after tomorrow. For example, even if it is a super battery, there are still traditional lithium-ion batteries competing with them in the low-end market.
It is too far from realistic, based on the fundamentals, he considered acquiring Nokia, using its brand appeal, coupled with the characteristics and properties of graphene, to promote the product, and then seek fame and profit, in the transition period before the advent of the next generation of technology, make a good profit. That's all.
After learning about his thoughts and confidence, Bazel's friend shook hands with An Feng: "I hope this cooperation can become a benchmark for mobile phones in the new era." Mr. An, like Mr. Sinclair, I have confidence in you and in GP, and I wish us a happy cooperation! β
"Definitely, Mr. Hart." An Feng shook hands with him, "But I am also an investor, and the key to success or failure lies in the management team." β
"I will provide a professional mobile phone design and program development team to participate in the planning." Franson gave his help as a partner.
"That's good." An Feng said.
Franson. Hart smiled, he looked to be in his early fifties, with black hair and blue eyes, and a full mouth of standard English, which showed that he was well educated. According to some principles, the friends of local tyrants are also local tyrants, so Bazel's friends are also not small.
As far as it was learned afterwards, Franson. Hart's family has a certain reputation and influence in the UK, operating businesses ranging from the oil industry to financial investment, and has a strong interest in manufacturing, especially projects and major business partners specially recommended by Bazel.
Following the three of them to negotiate the distribution of shares, An Feng's requirements were not high.
Mobile phones are transitional devices. An Feng will not invest too much energy, he is only responsible for leaving the plan and creativity, and then he will be the shopkeeper himself. There are many important things on the body, the mobile phone is not the focus, the starting point is just to seek fame and fortune for Joanna, and if she fails, she sighs at most.
But there are so many advantages that the new phone has. From the inside to the outside is high-tech, the hardware and software are top-notch, the actual experience is very good, in the eyes of investors, and with the technical support of GP companies, it will be a very safe investment, no matter which country it is placed in.
β¦β¦
Hart is very capable, he can quickly gather a group of employees who were previously engaged in mobile phone manufacturing, or poach employees of other mobile phone manufacturers. Important ones such as managers, software engineers, etc., only need to implement the idea, the company can start working and quickly bring the product to market.
An Feng is happy to see this scene, they do things, and he is responsible for counting the money.
His focus is still on room-temperature superconductors, which are difficult to synthesize. Pure natural has never appeared again, facing a huge market. Drooling and thinking about it, I can only retreat to the next best thing, if room-temperature superconducting materials are scarce, you can consider high-temperature superconductivity.
Ann's Industries is about to start operating, and he is looking forward to it, and he does not want to give up such a huge piece of market. Superconductors are about the future, nuclear fusion, engines or quantum computers, and their commercial value is far higher than people expected, and they are an important part of the world.
After a period of hot summer. The results of the negotiations between GP and Microsoft are out.
Microsoft Mobile's current use of the "Nokia" logo has dropped to a minimum, and more of their own products appear, although the sales are not very good...... It was confirmed on the side that Microsoft still obediently made software. And Nokia has been put aside and rarely mentioned again.
Therefore, it is better to change the right to use the logo than to leave it alone.
As a result, Microsoft paid $350 million plus a 5% stake in the new company to license the brand, while tens of thousands of mobile phone patents remained in Microsoft's hands.
Microsoft sold the chicken ribs for 350 million, which is the focus of heated discussions in the technology industry.
And this "big wrongdoer" is a company that has never been heard of - BOGE Information Technology Company. It is registered in Birmingham, England, with a registered capital of one billion US dollars. Another whistleblower said that there were high-tech enterprise GP companies involved, and they provided technical support.
This was later confirmed by BOGE's official social media account, and GP provided graphene technology support.
This has attracted a lot of people's attention, if someone spent 350 million US dollars to buy the right to use the Nokia logo, it will be hotly discussed for a while, GP company's intervention, its meaning is sublimated, now when everyone talks about graphene, the first thing that comes to mind is GP company.
GP's graphene empire is expanding outward at a terrifying speed, and other countries have not tried to catch up, but in the face of all-round advantages, they have even become a problem with large-scale mass production of graphene, and there is no foundation, so how can it be used to make various carbon products?
So the official statement of the GP company, it is a bombshell, some people speculate that there will be new technology to appear, the current GP company has not promoted new products for a while, some people speculate that it is a microprocessor chip, and some people say that it is a flash in the pan flexible screen.
BOGE, which is at the focus of discussion, is currently under low-key construction.
The original company also considered starting with GP, but An Feng vetoed it, and he wanted to keep it for the future.
Under the current agreement, GP financed the negotiations and held a 20% stake, with Joanna as the largest shareholder with a 30% share, followed by Bazel and FranΓ§on's investment companies with 22.5% each, and then Microsoft's 5%.
An Feng doesn't have any shares, but it is still a consortium holding, Joanna plus the company and Bazel, 72.5% of the voice is still here, but he doesn't care, whoever is in charge of the company can do it, as long as it can generate profits, it is enough to make money in the past few years.
