Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

Although Nokia is currently facing a strong sales crisis and product crisis, many high-level executives have also considered the fact that if the mobile phone is really unsalable, Nokia may not be able to pay off external debts and go bankrupt.

But all of this, everyone just thinks about it, and doesn't really face it.

It never occurred to me that Nokia might lose its own shares in order to cooperate with other companies.

Now Simpson has all the problems and situations that may be faced before everyone.

This is the first time that everyone feels the crisis of Nokia.

Anger is anger.

In the end, people have to be rational and solve problems.

Anger doesn't solve any problem.

Everyone calm down and think.

Found that Nokia really came to the most critical moment.

Speaking of hardware.

The hardware Nokia is using now lags far behind today's mainstream smartphones.

When HTC and Apple use 512MB of carbon crystal memory and 8GB or 16GB of carbon crystal storage.

Nokia is still playing with 128 megabytes of ordinary memory, and the body's storage is only 2GB or 4GB.

When Apple and HTC used 12-megapixel Seagull cameras, Nokia was still playing with 5-megapixels.

Your hardware is not good, then let's talk about the system.

As the first Saipan system to open the smartphone, it is very weak in the face of more and more complex applications.

Games or application software that are popular on Apple phones and Android phones cannot be ported to the Symbian system at all.

Technology magazines or portal websites have marginalized some of the games and applications supported by the Saipan system when evaluating mobile games and applications.

Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja and other small games that are very refreshing to play on touch-screen mobile phones, even if they are ported to the Saipan system by all means, their fluency and playability are not as high as those on the iPhone.

Nokia is like a dying old man, walking forward step by step, and may fall down at any time.

Simpson spread this issue, is to let Nokia's high-level, can confirm the status quo of Nokia.

Nokia is no longer the mighty communications company it was a few years ago.

Nokia's mobile phones are no longer the best brand that is popular all over the world, and it is not the first brand that the people are chasing.

Simpson is taking a strong dose of Ollila, "Mr Ollila, according to the current financial situation of Nokia and the sales of our mobile phones, within half a year, we want to sacrifice Nokia's shares in exchange for others. cooperation, I am afraid we will pay more."

Ollila was still hesitant.

Nokia flourished in his hands, and suddenly fell into decline.

This is unacceptable to anyone who has ever been successful.

At this point, the assistant, as is customary, transmits the latest news about Nokia to Ollila.

Here's how Nokia phones sold last quarter, and three quarters in the global handset market.

Nokia mobile phone sales in the world further decline, has dropped out of the top 5.

Although it is still in the top 10, its decline is very surprising.

According to such a rate of decline, in less than a year, Nokia's share will change from sixth in the world to others.

Accompanied by the slump in mobile phone sales, Nokia's debt is very high.

All these liabilities mainly come from three aspects.

On the one hand, it is a desperate acquisition of Saipan System, and the debts generated have not been paid off until now.

On the other hand, it spends a lot of money and manpower to invest in the development of the Meego system, and invest in Microsoft to jointly develop Microsoft's WP system.

These two systems basically make Nokia's vitality badly damaged, and its debts are high.

The third major expense is the production of mobile phones.

Nokia hasn't reacted so far, times have changed.

For example, Apple phones are basically updated every year.

After the new generation of mobile phones comes out, the production of the previous generation of mobile phones will gradually stop to ensure the competitiveness of the products.

As for Nokia's mobile phone, it is normal to produce a mobile phone after releasing a mobile phone for three or five years.

Nokia's mobile phones are still in mass production at home, but the inventory is also very large.

According to Nokia's logic.

Nokia uses the loan to redistribute it to the foundry. After the mobile phone is produced in the factory, Nokia sells the mobile phone to obtain cash, and then uses the cash to repay the loan and make a profit at the same time.

This trick is basically tried-and-true.

Nokia does not need to pay any cash costs to be able to make a profit.

But the premise of this trick is that the mobile phone can be sold out.

Now the mobile phone inventory is there, and the cash and loans are not available. The broken capital chain makes Nokia very uncomfortable.

The report handed over by the assistant made Ollila almost have a heart attack.

He had to take Simpson's proposal seriously.

Ollila said to Simpson: "Mr. Simpson, I will now reappoint you as the president of Xia Guo."

"I hope you can go to the effect immediately and start negotiations with Changtian Technology immediately."

"We need to buy the most advanced hardware products from Changtian Technology."

"We also need to cooperate with Changtian Technology."

"As for whether we will use the Symbian system, the megoo system, or the Android camp after we buy these hardware products back, we need to plan carefully."

Simpson was furious when he heard this.

Judging from Ollila's tone, Ollila herself is still reluctant to give up the Saipan system.

If a person has formed his own fixed thinking, and then wants to change it, it is very difficult.

So Simpson is also unwilling to dwell on this matter.

The top priority now is to get the hardware of Changtian Technology as soon as possible.

After getting the hardware, engineers and technicians know to make a good evaluation whether these hardwares are used on Android phones or Symbian systems.

This time Simpson was not as stupid as the last time. After successfully negotiating with Changtian Technology to reach an agreement, he was distrusted by the headquarters.

So he had to know one thing before he left Finland for the next trip, and that was Nokia's bottom line.

Simpson said to Ollila: "Mr. Ollila, thank you very much for your trust in me. This time I go to Xia Guo and I will do my best to negotiate with Changtian Technology."

"But before negotiating, I need to get two definite messages."

"The first one is our bottom line. If Changtian Technology asks for our shares, should we give it or not, and how much can we give?"

"After all, we don't have enough cash to buy hardware at present, and Changtian Technology is unlikely to be willing to give us credit."

"After the cooperation between us and Changtian Technology, the trust between us and Changtian Technology no longer exists, so the cooperation between the two parties must be an interest on paper."

Ollila said with some annoyance: "The matter of the shares can be discussed, how much to talk about, and then we will see the asking price of Changtian Technology."

Ollila didn't answer Simpson's question directly, though.

But it also gave Simpson the confidence to negotiate.

Otherwise, what would he negotiate with Changtian Technology?

Pies on paper?

Changtian Technology is not a fool.

After being authorized by the head office, Simpson immediately flew to Xiaguo, and then came to Jiangzhou.

Chen Xiao learned that Simpson was coming, delayed his return to Changzezhou, and received Simpson in Jiangzhou

Coming to Xia Guo again, Simpson still has some emotions in his heart.

He remembered that when he was about to leave Changzezhou last time, Chen Xiao had a long talk with him, accurately judging the fate of Nokia's decline.

Chen Xiao also invited Simpson to work in Changtian Technology, but Simpson refused.

Only now did Simpson realize that Chen Xiao's judgment was so correct.

Over time, Nokia has less negotiating capital.

Learn that Simpson is coming.

Chen Xiao was still warmly welcomed.

An ordinary person, Chen Xiao, would not take the initiative to come forward.

But Simpson was Chen Xiao's old friend after all, so Chen Xiao still came forward to meet him.

During this period of time, Chen Xiao became obsessed with fishing.

Sea fishing can no longer satisfy Chen Xiao's desire.

Chen Xiao brought the fishing gear to Jiangzhou and directly found a reservoir in Jiangzhou. It took three days to catch a fish.

The relevant leaders of Jiangzhou also specially sent people to accompany Chen Xiao.

This made Chen Xiao a little embarrassed, he was just catching a fish, what did he do with him?

Chen Xiao felt that it didn't matter, but the relevant departments in Jiangzhou were very cautious.

After all, Chen Xiao's investment in Jiangzhou has already reached tens of billions.

How much energy and material resources does Jiangzhou need to spend to attract tens of billions of investment outside?

Just last year, the commercial and investment department of Jiangzhou went to the Shanghai stock market to attract investment.

Spent millions of dollars back and forth.

As a result, I didn't get a dime of investment.

Now it takes a few people to accompany Chen Xiao to fish, to cut some fruit for Chen Xiao, and prepare some desserts. It can cost 10,000 yuan in these few days.

Such a low cost, of course, to accompany people.

Simpson is here today, and Chen Xiao is also receiving old friends at the Yunlong Reservoir in Jiangzhou.

Of course, old friends will also be invited to go fishing.

The relevant staff of Jiangzhou Commercial Investment learned that the CEO of Nokia Xiaguo District actually came to Jiangzhou.

Also report to the top immediately.

Jiangzhou immediately contacted Changtian Technology and consulted Changtian Technology to see if it would be a reception.

This was stopped by Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao just hopes to have a quiet environment and space to have a good chat with Simpson.

Simpson was very happy after seeing Chen Xiao, and negotiating a cooperation agreement in such a relaxed environment was more successful than negotiating an agreement in the company's conference room.

Chen Xiao gave Simpson a fishing rod, and from time to time he sprinkled the fish food in front of him on the fishing position.

Chen Xiao told Simpson: "The most important thing in fishing is to give bait, which is commonly known in the industry as baiting. If you give too much feed, the fish will eat unscrupulously, and naturally there will be one or two hooks."

"When we go fishing, we can't be greedy, we can't catch all the fish in one net, just take one or two tails, that's enough."

Orientals pay attention to their words, use puns, and pursue the artistic conception of the words, rather than the meaning of the sentence itself.

What Chen Xiao said actually meant something.

I don't know if Simpson can understand it.

Simpson had a fishing rod in his hand, but he was not at all about fishing.

Time is very tight.

Don't look at Nokia's mobile phone sales this year can also be ranked in the top 10 in the world.

But the whole trend is down.

This situation is very critical.

So Simpson hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, I think you should know the purpose of my visit this time."

"We hope to increase investment in the Jiangzhou factory, put most of Nokia's global production lines in Jiangzhou, and hand it over to Tiangong Technology for production."

This is a gift from Simpson to Changtian Technology, and it is also a meeting gift before the negotiation.

Chen Xiao got on the fish, and after pulling it repeatedly, he removed the force of the fish, and a big herring slowly surfaced to the surface.

Chen Xiao didn't immediately answer Simpson's question, but said to him: "Fishing is about patience, it's a very comfortable process experience."

Simpson simply put down his fishing rod and said to Chen Xiao: "Sir, Nokia's global shipments this year are still good. If our Foxconn and overseas orders are placed on Tiangong Technology, it will be a great benefit for both parties. ."

Chen Xiao also put away the fishing rod and said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Simpson. For the normal operation of the company, Changtian Technology will adjust some layouts of its subsidiaries at any time."

"At present, our Tiangong technology factory in Jiangzhou has all been transformed into a production factory for mobile phone hardware, and currently does not have the ability to produce mobile phones."

Simpson was stunned when he heard this.

He did not expect that Changtian Technology had long been ready to go to Nokia's production capacity.

Of course Chen Xiao knew what Simpson meant, but he didn't take it.

Simpson couldn't sit still, expressing his heart directly, and expressing Nokia's desire to cooperate with Changtian Technology to Changtian Technology.

For example, purchasing the hardware of Changtian Technology, and further establishing a joint venture mobile phone production company with Changtian Technology.

Nokia hopes to seize the life-saving straw like Changtian Technology and save the current decline he is facing.

After hearing Simpson say this~www.readwn.com~ Chen Xiao also sighed and said, "Mr. Simpson, given the current situation of Nokia, you do not have the value of cooperation."

"First of all, I personally am not optimistic about the Saipan system, and I also have reservations about the Megoo system that you spent a lot of money developing."

"There is a competitive relationship between us and Microsoft, so it is unlikely that hardware devices will be applied to Microsoft's mobile phone system."

"Apple's iOS is closed, you can't use it, the only way is to go to Android."

"But Android is an open system, and you can use it from other mobile phone manufacturers."

"At present, platforms such as HTC have made some famous tricks. If we cooperate with you, why not cooperate with them?"

"Even if Nokia joins the Android camp, are you going to be a full-screen touchscreen phone or a button phone?"

"Are you ready for full-scale development, or are you ready to try out what the market is like?"

"Sir, the so-called phoenix nirvana cannot be broken or established. Nokia's historical burden is too heavy. All the brilliant achievements you have achieved in the past are obstacles to your current transformation."

"Changtian Technology is not very interested in such cooperation."

Chen Xiao actually thought about a problem.

Do you want to lend a helping hand to Nokia before it goes bankrupt?

But judging from the current situation, Nokia is still too expensive, and the price of pulling him is also very high.

For Chen Xiao, it was not worth it.

Simpson was nervous now.
