Chapter 338: Two Dials
Two-thirds of Fortune employees have voluntarily resigned, and for them, if they can't resist the decision of the world's richest man, they can only change their choice.
Wen Ming didn't care about this at all.
Although the acquisition of Fortune magazine is at a premium of 300%, this money is really nothing to Wen Ming now, in a sense, he is worth more than 200 billion US dollars.
Moreover, this is still on the premise that he has a lot of products that have not been released.
If he can release the new 'Mingguang' he has just completed, then the US government is absolutely willing to give him another defense contracting order with a profit of tens of billions of dollars. Or if the 'Night Raven' air-space fighter is manufactured, the main military expenditure of the US Department of Defense next year will definitely be placed on the umbrella company.
With these two items alone, Wen Ming can earn the worth of a Bill Gates, what is the point of wasting some money?
"What's going on with Nokia?"
After completing the research of several products, Wen Ming rarely 'relaxed', not that he didn't want to continue research, but that many high-tech basic technology applications were not perfect enough. No one can build a skyscraper without a foundation, and you can't build all the parts by yourself, right?
The new 'Bright Light' armor for its own use can do this, but it is not possible for those products that are ready for mass production.
But as the new richest man in the world, even if Wen Ming relaxes, he just no longer buries himself in research. Although his industry is not bloated and complicated under the premise of controlled development, there are many decisions that he needs to make personally.
In the conference room of the Jurassic Island Research Institute, Apple's executives are here today, including Tom Ding, who has been staying on Jurassic Island all along.
Sith, as the current president of Apple, replied: "Nokia's market value has fallen below $50 billion at the opening of today's market, and the current market value is ...... $49.3 billion. ”
Previously, Wenming was ready to buy Nokia, especially the factories owned by Nokia. Not only is it a waste of time to rebuild the factory, but it is also difficult to recruit workers, and Nokia's factory can not only directly use it to produce the iPhone series, but they also have skilled workers who can save Apple a lot of trouble.
Wen Ming sat in the first place and asked, "Is there any news on the market that anyone wants to buy Nokia?" ”
Sith motioned to the head of Apple's investment department, who had just helped his boss with the task of buying Fortune magazine and then stinking it. His mentality of facing Wen Ming at this time is the feeling of facing his real boss.
"There is no company in the market that wants to buy Nokia as a wholly owned company, because Nokia does not have its own flagship products that can seize the market. However, there are also many companies that want to acquire Nokia's patented technology, software ownership of map service technology, and so on. ”
"As for their factory sector, no one has expressed any intention of acquiring it at the moment."
The head of the investment department paused for a moment, and then said: "According to our analysis, we believe that the old mobile phone manufacturers that have the ability to acquire all of Nokia's factories do not need to add new factories. New companies that want to join the mobile phone manufacturing industry also want to build new factories with better equipment and production environments. ”
"Actually, the proposal of our investment department is also to build a new factory. As for the recruitment of workers, it is not difficult, we can directly poach people, and the current production environment is automated machinery production, and the technical requirements for workers are getting lower and lower. ”
The advice of the Ministry of Investment is correct, Nokia's factory has been established for many years, although it has been upgrading equipment, but it is lagging behind. Otherwise, it would not be possible for Microsoft, another world, to close its eight factories around the world after acquiring all of Nokia's mobile phone business, leaving only two.
Even these two were on the verge of closure later.
The reason for this is that companies like Apple and Microsoft have outsourced their production to foundries. Doing so can save the short-term production cost of the enterprise, and it is not always necessary to increase the investment in your own factory.
As for long-term benefits?
The money spent by listed companies is all shareholders', not shareholders'.
Ke Wenming can't do this, not only because he needs to save time more, but also because his company is not a listed company.
It's acceptable to throw money at people, but you have to save money to do business. To put it simply, earning money is earning money, spending money is spending money, and you can't use the attitude when you spend money when you make money.
"Buying all of Nokia's factories around the world is a plan that Apple has to realize, and I don't want to repeat that a second time."
Wen Ming has to make tough decisions, and he also has this qualification.
"I hope that you will formally submit a letter of appeal to Nokia as soon as possible in the name of Apple to acquire their factories and even the entire mobile phone business."
Regarding Nokia's development plan, Wenming has been determined, that is, to replicate the development path of Samsung's mobile phone business in another world. As for the three stars of this world? Wen Ming didn't even want to say a word of apology, who made Samsung's various development plans for the next 7 years already in Wen Ming's mind?
Wen Ming didn't get the Samsung Group's technology gift package, but he knew that the design parameters of the mobile phone launched by Samsung came from the benefits in Apple's technology gift package. After all, the global annual sales of Samsung's mobile phones in another world have properly surpassed Apple's company, which has been molded production.
In that case, how could Apple not study Samsung's phone?
Another point is that many of Apple's parts were ordered at Samsung's factory, including the 5.5 million iPhone X sold in China in 5 hours later, and the screen was produced by Samsung.
It is worth mentioning that 5.5 million units are only the national bank.
Apple has been in the hands of Wen Ming, acquired Nokia, and with Nokia's brand influence, it has copied the development path of Samsung mobile phones.
That future......
Wen Ming cares about the future is decision-making, so he only needs to explain his request, and the people at Apple will seriously complete it and do everything they can to complete it, just like when he was about to buy Fortune magazine.
After Sith and others reported on the launch time of the iphone1S, the meeting ended.
But Wen Ming did not leave the conference room, because he still had to continue the meeting, and the topic of the next meeting was Tesla. At the time of the first meeting, all the top executives of Tesla, including Cage, who is now in charge of Tesla, Zeff, the former CEO of Tesla and now the vice president of Tesla, were already waiting outside the conference room.
One group of people went out, another group of people went in, and Wen Ming sat firmly like a mountain.
Cage reported: "The credibility crisis we experienced before has survived, and those customers who delayed getting Model-S are very satisfied after receiving compensation from us. ”
"At present, the production capacity of Model-S has been increased to 50,000 units per month, while our sales volume last month was 60,000 units.
"The most important problem now is that if we only produce the ModeL-S as a pure electric vehicle, there will be a lot of users who don't like it because it's a coupe. And the market for pure electric vehicles is very large. ”
Wen Ming nodded and asked, "You mean, you can launch other types of pure electric vehicles?" ”
