Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 713 Visiting Ollila

At the end of September, the second half of the year special session for Chinese mobile phone manufacturers began.

Most of China’s brands are taking the multi-product route, and there are basically two or three flagship models alone. Therefore, after releasing a flagship model in the first half of the year, a new flagship model will come in the second half of the year.

In the second half of the year, almost all Chinese mobile phone manufacturers used MX2 processors.

It is unreasonable that these Huaxia mobile phones equipped with MX2 processors still have a little advantage in price. The price is similar to that of several mobile phones using Snapdragon 800 overseas, and it is even cheaper in China.

Coupled with the re-optimization of the systems of various companies, and the optimization direction is all smart, Huaxia mobile phone manufacturers can follow the rhythm of the Dafeng Group, which has too many advantages.

MX2 has started to be widely used. Qualcomm immediately issued an announcement saying that the Snapdragon 810 manufactured by Dafeng Semiconductor will be available early next year, and the Snapdragon 810 will also be a 64-bit processor with a 28nm process.

Dafeng Semiconductor also quickly confirmed this matter. It is indeed the case. Meng Qian does not need to deliberately suppress Qualcomm at all. The benefits of cooperating with Qualcomm are too great. Now suppressing Qualcomm will kill the enemy and hurt himself. Eight hundred stupid tricks, anyway, its own processor can suppress Qualcomm for half a year, which is enough.

This September, another product that has begun to rise is Huawei's Kirin chip. As the only company in China other than Dafeng Group that develops its own high-end mobile phone chips, Kirin has finally achieved initial results after several years of polishing.

Just when Dafeng Semiconductor officially announced that the Snapdragon 810 will be shipped in the first half of next year, Huawei also held a press conference and exhibited its latest processor, the Kirin 910.

The Kirin 910 is a quad-core processor independently developed by Huawei. It will also be a 28nm process and a 64-bit processor. It will also be manufactured by Dafeng Semiconductor and will be available in the first half of next year.

Meng Qian was invited to participate in Huawei's press conference, and said at the scene, "Huawei only cares about the design with confidence, and the door of Dafeng Semiconductor will always be open for you."

In addition, Meng Qian said, "I heard that Intel will also push Astro Boy to 28nm next year. I am looking forward to the changes in the mobile phone processor market next year. I think it is very interesting."

After finishing Huawei's press conference, Meng Qian went straight to the airport and flew to Finland.

Naturally, he came to Finland for Nokia, but Meng Qian's destination was not Nokia.

The CEO of Nokia at this time is Elop, the former president of Microsoft's business unit. He joined Nokia as CEO in 2010 and became the first non-Finnish CEO in Nokia's history. Then the first thing Elop did was to abandon Symbian .

The second thing is to cut off the project that former CEO Kallasvuo Kallasvuo was planning to cooperate with Android. In fact, Kallaslav Kallasvuo and Google have signed some contracts. Nokia’s Grand Touch based on the Android system has been put on the agenda, all of which were taken by Elop. Reject and explicitly reject Google's application for cooperation in the Android system, requiring Nokia to spend its money to support the Microsoft system.

The third thing is that since 2012, Microsoft has tried its best to promote the acquisition of Nokia by Microsoft. After the acquisition, Elop not only took 25.4 million yuan from Nokia, but Microsoft also spent tens of millions of yuan to pay an executive of Elop. Call Elop one of the main candidates for Microsoft's next CEO.

This is the conjecture of the Elop spy who ranks first among the three mysteries of the collapse of the Nokia empire.

Many people think that Elop is a spy placed by Microsoft in Nokia, but the truth of the matter is likely to be unknown in this lifetime except for the parties involved.

Meng Qian also has no way of knowing the truth of the matter, but he himself is not willing to believe in this conspiracy theory. It is somewhat unbelievable that a company as large as Nokia is being played around by one person. Of course, it is not ruled out that Microsoft's penetration in Nokia has long been Only Elop is alone.

So Meng Qian first sent Xiao Boshi to contact Elop, who was quite resistant to the Dafeng Group.

Since Elop has this attitude, Meng Qian is going to do something more roundabout, but perhaps safer and more direct, regardless of whether it is a conspiracy theory or not.

Because no matter whether Elop is a spy or not, there must be a group of people inside Nokia who have been pushing Nokia to Microsoft.

Meng Qian could only try to find the person he thought was most likely to stand on the opposite side of this group of people.

That is the former chairman of Nokia's board of directors, Jorma Ollila, who resigned not long ago.

Jorma Ollila is the figure who created the myth of Nokia, but chose to leave completely in 2012, when Nokia was alive and dead.

"I heard that Elop is going to sell Nokia to Microsoft? What industries are you planning to sell?" Meng Qian went straight to the point, without turning a corner, and directly named Elop.

"I have left Nokia, and my understanding of Nokia is about the same as that of Mr. Meng." Ollila expressed an attitude that he was not willing to get involved.

Meng Qian calmly turned the cup in front of him, "Then let's talk about the Nokia I can see.

As far as I know, when the Lumia 920 was reprimanded by users, someone from Nokia has been in high frequency contact with Microsoft and strives for Microsoft's change.

I don't know who is trying, but at least I can see that someone doesn't want Nokia to go down. "

Sure enough, there was a change in Ollila's eyes, but she quickly hid it, "It should be Elop."

"Probably." Meng Qian turned the cup again, "Actually, the whole world knows that the problem with Lumia 920 lies with Microsoft, not Nokia.

If there is anything wrong with Nokia, it may be that it mistrusted Microsoft, but from what I can see, even if Nokia has gone downhill in the past three years, Nokia can still come up with products like Lumia920 that satisfy users.

As a former Nokia user, seeing the performance of Lumia920, I am looking forward to Nokia's comeback, not Nokia's compromise. "

Driven by Meng Qian, Ollila also spun the cup, "We have laid off more than 10,000 employees in three years, and the company's performance has been declining. Now Nokia's debt problem may not be what Mr. Meng can imagine. I can only say , that will become the fuse of Nokia's downfall at any time."

"If Nokia's current problem is really debt, it would be very easy to solve." Meng Qian grabbed the cup and looked at Ollila, "Don't be afraid, this is not Nokia's real problem at all."

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Ollila finally spoke directly, "Mr. Meng wants Nokia."

"Of course, especially seeing that Microsoft wants Nokia, I don't want to be on the sidelines.

I am sitting here today more as a former Nokia user, because as a user, the most unacceptable thing at this moment is that Nokia is sold to Microsoft.

The whole world knows why Microsoft bought Nokia, for patents, and for its system development.

But Microsoft's system is an endless abyss. Once Nokia falls into it, it will fall endlessly. "

"Actually, many things cannot be controlled by one or two people." Ollila sighed suddenly.

But he is willing to sigh in front of Meng Qian, which is an opportunity for Meng Qian.

"Mr. Ollila, in your opinion, how does our Dafeng Group compare with Microsoft?"

"Microsoft is like a legend, but Gale Group is more like a miracle."

"What about Nokia?"

Ollila picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Nokia, maybe it's an old man who can't keep up with the times."

"Mr. Ollila's words remind me of a controversial topic in China during this period. The development of smart phones is not friendly to the elderly because they don't know how to use them."

"This problem also exists on our side." Ollila blurted out, "So the society must leave the elderly in their comfort zone."

"You're right, but as an enterprise, we're thinking about another thing."

"whats the matter?"

"How to develop a smart phone that the elderly can easily operate and are willing to learn to use."

Ollila watched Meng Qian's expression change slightly, and Meng Qian continued, "I don't know why everyone seems to acquiesce to the fact that the old man can't use a smartphone. It's because the old man doesn't want to learn.

Why can't it be because the product side is not doing well enough. If it is just a pure mobile phone company and its customer base is positioned as young users, then there is nothing wrong with you not thinking about this issue.

But as a company that intends to lead the times, you should be responsible for all social issues, instead of simply saying that behind every technological revolution there are a group of people who sacrificed.

Why do people sacrifice so inexplicably to achieve your greatness?

Some things cannot be perfected, but the premise is that you have to take responsibility. If you do it, you can’t achieve 100 points in the end, at least you are worthy of this society. "

Ollila's eyes on Meng Qian have changed, "I have seen many entrepreneurs with a sense of social responsibility, but entrepreneurs with the thinking like Mr. Meng are rare."

"So Mr. Ollila chose to leave Nokia?" Meng Qian immediately stabbed Ollila in the heart.

"As I said, many things are not decided by one or two people."

"Then gather those who can make decisions." Meng Qian took it for granted, "I would like to ask Mr. Ollila a question, I don't know what you think about Motorola's development in the past few years. "

"Motorola chose to cooperate with Gale Group, which is obviously the most correct decision for them."

Ollila showed a complicated smile. There seemed to be envy, unwillingness, helplessness and compromise.

"What about the cooperation between Nokia and Microsoft?" Meng Qian didn't stop adding salt to Ollila's wound.

However, after being silent for a while, Ollila did not answer Meng Qian's question directly, "What exactly does Mr. Meng want?"

"I want to keep the Nokia brand alive."

Ollila paused while turning the cup, then slowly raised her head to look at Meng Qian, her pupils contracting subconsciously.

Ollila thinks that he is a rational person, knows what he should do, and how to deal with some changes and even accidents. He has now become a non-executive director of Royal Dutch Shell, and he has a new Life.

But the strange thing is that Meng Qian's words still stabbed him.
