There are turbulent undercurrents in peacetime, but these undercurrents are a little too far away for ordinary people.

When Wen Ming was reminded by Teresa Roy, he once thought that even if a mobile phone manufacturer like Nokia had become the overlord of the mobile phone industry, it would not have any impact on his life safety.

Because in his opinion, Nokia is just a mobile phone manufacturer, not an arms company.

However, in fact, the history of Nokia's development can be described as an encyclopedia of human industry, in addition to the well-known start by making toilet paper, Nokia has also engaged in the arms business, the real arms business.

In the 80s of the 20th century, Nokia owned 50% of the shares of Finland's SAKO weapons company, and the bullets and other products produced by this company had the NOKIA logo on the outer packaging, which is familiar to the whole world.

In addition to bullets, the most famous weapon produced by SAKO is TRG-21, which is a game called Crossfire that Wen Ming played in another world, in addition to AWP, the most popular sniper rifle, its nickname is Finnish Sniper.

At the beginning, Wen Ming also bought the Aries version of the TRG-21.

If Wen Ming knew this, maybe he wouldn't have ignored Nokia's hatred so much, in his opinion, if it was just through the dumping behavior of the mobile phone industry, Apple would not need to pay attention to Nokia at all.

But does Nokia, a company that has been engaged in the arms business, really only use commercial practices to attack the Apple company that smells the news?

"I don't think we can do that."

At Nokia's headquarters in Finland, Stephen Elop, the president and CEO at the helm of Nokia, was a little emotional, as he had some very scepticism about the solutions proposed by the board members.

"We haven't touched this business since Carremo's suicide, and the decision was to sell all the other properties, specializing in mobile phones and mobile network equipment, which is what got our Nokia to where it is today."

Keremo was the last person at the helm of Nokia, when he chose to end his life with a bullet because of the collapse of the market in the former Soviet Union and the oppression of rival Motorola.

It was at that time that his successor, Stephen Elop, took over the Nokia Group and led Nokia to where it is today.

"If we now use unconventional means against Apple, as you say, what will happen to us?"

The more Stephen Elop spoke, the more emotional he became, as an orthodox businessman, he liked to use business methods against his competitors. Although many of those business methods are completely illegal, after all, they are not the use of money as the board members say.

"Today's society is not the same as before, there is surveillance everywhere, and Apple is not a small company now, their revenue in the last quarter exceeded $10 billion, and their net profit exceeded $3 billion, what do you think will happen if we kill his boss?"

Taking a deep breath, Stephen Elop said with a solemn expression: "Don't forget, why did Carremo commit suicide in the first place, do you want to let me kill myself after this incident is over to solve the accusations and crises that the company may face?" ”

There weren't many members in this internal meeting, with only three other key board members apart from Stephen Elop.

For these board members, Stephen Elop also has shares in Nokia, but those shares are too small. Originally, they could have made this kind of private decision without telling Stephen Elop, but out of concern about a certain situation, they hoped that Stephen Elop would be mentally prepared.

"We're not asking for your opinion."

One director said, "We're informing you, and we're getting you ready." Because according to our investigation, the owner of Apple has no close relatives who can inherit his inheritance, and he has never made a medical order. ”

Hearing this, Steve Elop's eyes widened as he had already thought of what the director was going to say next.

"We're going to use our relationships to manipulate his legacy, and then we'll find a way to transfer it all to our Nokia brand. When the time comes, I hope you can lead the company and firmly grasp the iPhone product in our hands. ”

Stephen Elop's hands were already trembling a little at this time, he could be regarded as a capitalist himself, but these words just now made him, a capitalist, a little afraid.

"It's impossible, it's impossible, the U.S. government and the Chinese government won't let us easily get Apple's technology and the ownership of the iPhone. What's more, in addition to us, there are companies that want to get Apple. ”

The director who spoke before noticed Stephen Elop's trembling hands, smiled vaguely, and asked, "Do you know why there is no such thing as a sudden rise in the world?" ”

Without waiting for Stephen Elop to answer, the director continued: "Because they are either annexed or, backed by capital. Apple's rise is so fast that neither Microsoft nor Facebook can compare with its rise. ”

"The development of any world-class enterprise needs to accumulate for a long time before it can be exchanged for an explosion. It's not just about laying a solid foundation, it's about giving them the time to be able to build a good relationship with real capital, and looking for a consortium that can help them weather the storm. That's why, Bill Gates only has a 3% stake in Microsoft, and Mark Zuckerberg, who now has only a 21% stake in Facebook, will hold even less in the future. ”

"Apple's future will undoubtedly be world-class, but it is developing too fast. At a time when quarterly revenue exceeded $10 billion, its owner owned 100% of Apple. So, it is destined to become a captive of the consortium. Even if we don't start, others will choose to do it, and of course, only we can perfectly take over Apple and develop it into a truly world-class enterprise. ”

Stephen Elop asked his last question, and his voice trembled a little as he said: "Teresa Roy has a good relationship with Apple, if he ......"

The director laughed and said, "We're all for profit. He, too, is for profit. ”

This is the end of the meeting, even though Nokia is now at the helm of Stephen Elop, but for those directors, he is only a senior worker. No matter how senior a worker is, he is just a worker.

And these veteran capitalists have experienced the relatively chaotic period of the last century, and have experienced the period when Nokia took a stake in the SAKO arms company, and they have encountered and used those methods. For them, there is nothing to cherish in such an indescribable thing as life, except for their own.
