Chapter 305: Twilight or New Life (Part II)
"Hello journalists." After the moderator announced the start of the press conference, the first to take the podium was Nokia's CEO Steve.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Steve, the CEO of Nokia, I believe that many journalist friends have already met, the reason for this press conference is actually very simple, and I would like to invite Xu Zhennan, CEO of Starfall Group, to be a "woman". Steve smiled and said a few words to the reporter below before speaking.
Xu Zhennan smiled and stood up from his position and walked to the rostrum, Steve stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, and automatically retreated behind Xu Zhennan, Xu Zhennan stood in front of the rostrum with a smile, turned on the microphone, and then said: "Hello reporters and friends, I am Xu Zhennan, CEO of Starfall Group, Starfall Group is a diversified group company of heavy industry in China, please come here today, is to announce a news, just a few days ago, Starfall Group completed the acquisition of Nokia, Completed the absolute control of Nokia Group, and now Nokia will become one of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Starfall Group. β
Xu Zhennan's voice fell, and after a quiet moment, there was an uproar, and then countless flashes kept ringing, and countless reporters raised their hands and wanted to ask questions. Xu Zhennan smiled slightly, it is necessary to build momentum, today is mainly to announce the news, the news is announced, naturally there is nothing to do, and it is nothing to answer reporters' questions.
Xu Zhennan gave the host next to him a 'crossing', and then the host immediately walked to the rostrum and ordered a reporter. The reporter stood up and immediately said, "Hello Miss Xu, I'm a reporter from FOA, Finland. Mr. Xu, does your company's acquisition of Nokia mean that Nokia's focus will completely shift and gradually shift its investment focus to China? β
Xu Zhennan raised her eyebrows in slight surprise, she didn't expect that this reporter's first question was about this, she originally thought that the first question was about the acquisition of Nokia, and if you think about it carefully, this is understandable. Finland has also suffered a very serious test in the economic crisis, the entire Finnish economy is not optimistic, although Nokia's market value has fallen sharply, but it is still a well-known company in Finland, and has a great influence in Finland, as well as a relatively large number of employees, Nokia has about 130,000 employees in the world. Tens of thousands of them are in Finland.
If Nokia is acquired, and then the company's focus begins to shift, there is no doubt that Finland will start large-scale layoffs, which will definitely make matters worse for the Finnish government, and the business rate will increase significantly. For journalists from other countries, this is not of interest, but for the local media in Finland, it is big news.
"This journalist friend, about whether Nokia's future focus will shift. I can't tell you this because it's a trade secret of the company. However, in the future, Nokia will carry out asset restructuring with another subsidiary of Starfall Group, and the reorganized company name will still retain Nokia, a world-famous brand. A shift in investment focus to China is a must, but I can responsibly tell you that Nokia's investments around the world will not be reduced, and will start to increase gradually, and this month, Nokia will stop further layoffs and hire more than 3,000 employees in Finland! Xu Zhennan replied with a smile.
There are good and bad economic crises, and the disadvantages are clear to everyone, and the good is for some special companies, because the economic crisis will inevitably be accompanied by layoffs in major companies, plus some bankrupt companies, and the excellent employees leaked out of these companies have become the recruitment targets of companies like Starfall Group that are not affected by the economic crisis at all.
And because of the impact of the economic crisis, the cost of recruiting these people is the same as hiring ordinary new employees, because these "elite" heroes are afraid of not having jobs. This is the difference between foreign and domestic, compared with foreign countries, domestic people prefer to save money, even some high-level rich people in the group are no exception, even if these people in China resign for a while, their savings are enough for them to worry about food and clothing, and even live more luxuriously, without worries for several years, or even a lifetime.
So they have enough time to wait for the price to sell, but people abroad are accustomed to enjoying in advance, even some rich people, luxury houses, cars, etc. are often borrowed from the bank, the concept of consumption is different, resulting in the emergence of the economic crisis, these people's family economy is immediately a little tight, so they are more urgent than domestic people need to work.
And now the Starfall Group does not lack the highest level of "Jing" Ying, because after the acquisition of Nokia, these high-level executives of Nokia can make up for it, but the most lacking of the Star Fall Group is the middle-level management "Jing" Ying, these people have a big gap, not only the newly established Star Fall Communication Company, including the Madagascar Marine Investment Company There are a large number of vacancies.
Therefore, it is now the most critical to use Nokia's branch system established around the world to start recruiting these middle-level talents in countries around the world.
"Xie Lu Xie Xu's answer, but I also want to ask, your company has started to recruit employees on a large scale, will the treatment of these new employees be low?" The reporter asked again, generally speaking, these reporters ask a question, but since they asked, Xu Zhennan naturally didn't mind answering again, anyway, this news is not news.
"Hehe, at this press conference, at the internal management meeting of Nokia yesterday, I announced to Mr. Steve and all the executives of Nokia on behalf of Mr. Yang Yiwei, chairman of the Starfall Group, that after the acquisition of Nokia by the Starfall Group, the salaries of all employees of Nokia Group will increase by 10%! Mr. Steve, next to this news, can attest. Xu Zhennan chuckled twice and replied.
"Yes, I can prove President Xu's words, this matter has been announced to all departments of the Nokia Group yesterday, and Nokia will carry out the financial "handover" in the next month. This new policy will be implemented when the financial "handover" of these assets is completed! Steve picked up the microphone in his hand. Nodding affirmatively.
Now the following reporters immediately began to discuss, ten percent, don't look at this number doesn't seem to be much, but you must know that Nokia currently has nearly 130,000 employees, and these 130,000 people pay nearly $1 billion in salary every month, and $1 billion is increased by 10 percent, which is a full $100 million! I'm afraid that the annual salary expenditure will be more than one billion! Although Nokia once had a small round of salary cuts due to the economic crisis, this time it was a 10% increase. It has already exceeded the scale of the previous salary cut.
Take Steve as an example, the annual salary is about 10 million US dollars, and a one-tenth increase is equivalent to more than 1 million more. This number is already terrifying, and being able to play such a big move proves that the capital strength of this new company is quite strong! If it weren't for the abundance, no one would dare to throw money at it like this! Throwing out nearly a billion dollars in more than a year is not a big injustice?
"President Xu. I am a reporter from Tencent News, may I ask President Xu, is your company's acquisition of Nokia related to your company's recent establishment of a new mobile communication business company, that is, Xingshen Communication Company? Just now, President Xu said that Nokia will have sufficient assets with a subsidiary under your company's name in the future, is it Starfall Communication Company? "The host is also very eye-catching, knowing that his big boss is Chinese. So the second one ordered a Chinese reporter.
However, to Xu Zhennan's surprise, the second person who was pointed out was not a reporter from a big media such as CCTV, but a reporter from an online media like Tencent News, but the question asked by the reporters of these online media is called a poison, and the foreign media do not know much about this matter. Maybe there are people who know the Tao here, but it is certainly not as detailed as the domestic media.
And this reporter is undoubtedly the one who knows a lot of inside information. Xu Zhennan pondered for a while, this matter is not a secret, besides, even if she doesn't say it, won't these media write it? If you think so, you're naΓ―ve.
"Yes, the news of this reporter friend is very keen, Xingshen Communication Company has just obtained the business license of China's mobile communication business, and will become the fourth company in China that can operate mobile communication business, although China currently has 3 powerful communication business companies, but Xingshen Group has its own technology, and there is a huge research and development base for mobile communication products in Nokia, and the two sides together are bound to bring a new change to China's mobile communication market. Even the mobile communication market in the world will have a new change. β
Xu Zhennan thought about it, and either didn't say it, or simply opened his mouth.
Yang Yiwei, who was watching the live broadcast of the press conference at the moment, was speechless for a while by Xu Zhennan's words, looking at Xu Zhennan standing on the rostrum, Yang Yiwei wanted to ask, eldest sister, do you dare to say it? Yang Yiwei didn't tell Xu Zhennan anything, but said that there would be new techniques, and Xu Zhennan directly said that it would cause a change in mobile communication in the world.
But...... Okay, you're right. Yang Yiwei rolled his eyes, after the new technique came out, this was undoubtedly a change, but this change could only be in Yang Yiwei's own hands.
Xu Zhennan's words once again attracted the first noise, now the world's mobile communication market can be said to be transparent, almost all mobile communication service providers have begun to enter the era of CDMA, such as the use of mobile GSM has basically begun to slowly withdraw from the market, the latest development of mobile 4G is also based on TD-CDMA technology, and this is already a new technology.
And now Starfall Group and Nokia have stated that they want to change this status quo? Could it be said that there is more advanced mobile communication technology? If that is the case, there is no doubt that China's mobile communications market will change from a three-country competition to a four-party "melee", but it is also possible that the two tigers will compete, because those three are state-owned enterprises, and to a certain extent, they will maintain a certain degree of tacit understanding.
But even so, what does that mean? This means that Nokia's future is limitless! The reason why Nokia began to twilight is because Nokia operates a single product, only the mobile phone industry, and now the Starfall Group has just said that Nokia will be with the Starfall Group's newly established Starfall Communication Company for sufficient assets, which means that Nokia's future will be unpredictable, and no one knows where Nokia's future will go.
"Nokia's Embrace of Chinese Companies Is It a Blessing or a Curse?" γ
"The economic crisis has caused the world's financial market to be "chaotic" and "chaotic", Nokia, the giant has fallen, who will be next? γ
"Nokia and Starfall Communications have joined forces to vowed to transform the existing mobile communications market. γ
Strong alliance or dying struggle? γ
β¦β¦ With the acquisition of Nokia by Starfall Group, it caused a huge sensation around the world, and the media in various countries used various headlines to describe the event. When Yang Yiwei was in the next day with Mary, the CEO of Loma Aviation. When Hughson met, Nokia's stock did not fall as Yang Yiwei expected, but began to rise slightly, although the increase was not large, but it also increased the price of one dollar per share!
This is mainly because there are very few stocks circulating in the market, and Nokia originally had hundreds of thousands of shareholders in the world, but the shares in the hands of these scattered shareholders were recovered by Xu Zhennan using his financial team during this time. In the past few days since Xu Zhennan acquired Nokia, the financial team's acquisition of scattered shares has increased by another 1 percent.
You know, there are very few scattered stocks circulating in the market now, and it is very, very difficult to acquire one percent. And now, with the press conference, there is naturally no seller's market for some people who want to buy Nokia shares, and even if there are some sell-offs, the financial team is constantly absorbing them. So it caused the stock price to rise.
But these don't matter, it doesn't matter if you can't drop it, Yang Yiwei doesn't pay attention to that, Yang Yiwei is now focusing on Mary who has the nickname of "iron-blooded beauty 'woman'". President Hewson, Mary. Hewson is not the CEO of the entire head office of Loma, Loma does not have the CEO of the head office, the top executive board is the Loma consortium in charge, and the following are the executive presidents of each branch.
Mary is the CEO of Loma Aerospace Branch, and Yang Yiwei also saw this iron-blooded beauty "woman", although she is called an iron-blooded beauty "woman", but Mary is not young, she is in her forties this year.
"Mr. Yang, welcome to the United States, and I welcome you on behalf of all the employees of Loma." Mary was so enthusiastic that she got rid of four executives right out of power, and now she's in desperate need of results to prove herself. (To be continued)
