Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Three days later, Ollila arranged a table of people to have dinner together. These people were members of Nokia's board of directors and were carefully selected by Ollila.

"Nokia's next step will not only determine Nokia's future, but also Nokia's life and death." Meng Qian looked at everyone seriously, exuding an unconcealable arrogance. After all, the combined worth of these people Not even a fraction of his height.

"In the past two years, the company has reached an in-depth cooperation with Microsoft in many aspects. At this time, it is actually difficult for Nokia to withdraw from Microsoft.

This is like the relationship between Dafeng Group and IBM. The ancient computers have been using IBM's cell processors until now. This is not because it is as simple as giving up the cell processor and can only choose Intel processors. Mr. Meng should be clear? "

Everyone is here for business, so there is no nonsense.

Meng Qian shook his head, "This comparison is inappropriate, because it ignores the most important thing, the cooperation between Dafeng Group and IBM is based on equality.

We continue to use IBM chips, and IBM continues to use our technology. "

"However, the smartphone market has matured, especially after this year, it is difficult for Nokia to afford to start all over again."

"What if I take the risk?"

Everyone looked at Meng Qian suspiciously. For an acquisition of this scale, and to retain the Nokia brand, better technology integration after the acquisition is of course a prerequisite, but after that, it is necessary for the acquired company to act as the acquirer. Make money, not spend billions of dollars to make Nokia lose money.

This is the reason why Google is going to acquire Motorola but has no great interest in Nokia. Nokia has cooperated with Microsoft for so long. The development of the entire smartphone starts from the construction of Microsoft system. Google acquired Nokia and transformed Nokia into the Android system from scratch. The cost is too great, and the success rate is very low.

So now that the mobile phone market structure is almost settled, it seems very strange for Dafeng Group to acquire Nokia. Why does Meng Qian want Nokia? Everyone really can't understand this question.

So someone asked this doubt, "Mr. Meng, what kind of plan does Mr. Meng have for the possible merger of our two companies?"

Meng Qian thought about it for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth. In fact, Meng Qian didn't tell the details in front of Ollila, but just sold his feelings. It can be seen that at least this group of people hope that Nokia can have a better home. These people are likely to stay in Nokia after the acquisition in the future to help Meng Qian manage the company, so some things should be made clear to them from the very beginning. bad thing.

"First of all, I really hope that Nokia will survive, this may sound inexplicably emotional, but it is the truth.

Secondly, I am really interested in Nokia's huge patent portfolio. The world knows that the things I value most are talents and patents.

Finally, perhaps what everyone has failed to understand is that I have taken a fancy to Nokia's powerful industrial genes. "

"Industrial genes?" Even though Meng Qian had given the answer, everyone still didn't understand.

Meng Qian took a moment to explain to them.

To put it simply, Meng Qian now needs a European company with strong industrial genes. At the same time, the industrial genes of this company should be able to serve the products that can be connected with Dafeng Group. This connection is not only the connection of the factory, but also the connection of the entire Quick connection between industrial chain and supply chain.

Through this kind of integration, an industrial link between China and Europe can be quickly established, and an experiment for the global cloud-intelligent industrial platform is also a foreshadowing.

Looking at the whole of Europe, the most suitable company is now Nokia.

Although Dafeng Group has Siemens as a stepping stone to the European industry, the cooperative enterprise is definitely different from its own enterprise, and Meng Qian has always reserved a hand for German enterprises.

After Meng Qian said this, everyone finally became enlightened and felt that everything was reasonable.

"If Mr. Meng acquires Nokia, are you going to let Nokia use the Hongmeng system or the Vientiane system?" Someone raised this question. Once Nokia is acquired by the Dafeng Group, as a subsidiary of the Dafeng Group, it is completely possible to use the Hongmeng system.

If Meng Qian allows Nokia to use the Hongmeng system, it will naturally be a great temptation, but Meng Qian disappointed them, "I am going to use the Vientiane system."

"Why?" Everyone was puzzled again.

"Actually, I have considered this issue, but the Hongmeng system has a unique internal ecology, and Nokia's sudden intrusion may break this ecology. Hongmeng is our foundation in consumer electronics products, and I cannot take risks."

"But Nokia has switched to the Vientiane camp at this time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to have any advantages."

"Gale + Nokia's brand power, isn't that an advantage?" Meng Qian smiled confidently, "And, isn't this just a test for the supply chain?"

"I feel that Mr. Meng is more like making Nokia a test product." Someone pointed out the problem frankly.

Meng Qian smiled slightly, "Everyone thinks that the cooperation between Microsoft and Nokia is a combination of Microsoft's software and Nokia's hardware. Do you agree with this sentence?"

The other party was silent.

"You don't agree, right? Because Microsoft has been using Nokia from the very beginning, but you have seen the market reaction to the computer that Microsoft just released. This is not a problem that Nokia's industrial genes can solve.

Microsoft does not have the basic manufacturing and operational thinking of consumer electronics products, so Microsoft will not make any major changes after acquiring Nokia. To use our Chinese idiom, it will only be a waste of money.

You have to say that I just want to use Nokia as an experiment, yes, but I have included myself in this experiment, and I have put Nokia into our Dafeng Group's future cloud intelligence development ecosystem. Once successful, Nokia will If I fail to become a key city of Dafeng Group, I will also have to pay a heavy price. Unlike Microsoft, Nokia is just a system experiment object for it. If it fails, Nokia will be resold at worst.

It is my goal to make Nokia a great future industrial enterprise rather than just a simple mobile phone manufacturer.

If you are not interested, I will not force you. "

Meng Qian indulged his passions, and sure enough, the person who asked the question shut up immediately.

In addition, everyone knew the purpose of Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia, and the subsequent negotiations became much smoother.

At the beginning of October, at the meeting of the board of directors of Nokia, Elop submitted a report, "Dafeng Group suddenly proposed an acquisition intention to us, but the cooperation space between us and Dafeng Group is too small, and everyone should not be interested in the acquisition of Dafeng Group. Are you interested?"

Elop put the acquisition intention of Dafeng Group in front of everyone calmly, with an attitude of not taking it seriously at all.

In the end, a total of 18 people participated in this board meeting, and 12 people voted to express their strong interest in the acquisition of Gale Group.

Elop looked at the people on the board of directors with a look of hell, are these people out of their minds?

Meng Qian stayed in Finland for more than ten days to mediate and made appointments with many important government officials. Meng Qian was very concerned about the acquisition of Nokia.

In the ten days since Dafeng Group proposed to acquire Nokia, the market was basically in favor of Dafeng Group, according to the survey. More than 70% of Nokia users do not want Nokia to be acquired, but if it has to be acquired, more than 80% of users hope that it will be Dafeng Group rather than Microsoft that will acquire Nokia.

Seeing that the Dafeng Group's acquisition of Nokia is getting smoother and smoother, the time has come.

This October, Huawei, ZTE, and Sany Heavy Industry were on the unsafe list of the United States just like in their previous lives. The only difference is that there is an extra Dafeng Group.

As soon as the news came out, the top management of the Dafeng Group immediately started to move around. A few days later, Xiao Boshi dragged his tired body to find Meng Qian, "The situation this time is different from the past."

"What's the difference?"

"The Asian market is in chaos. As Mr. Meng guessed, the Asian market was very tense in 2012, and it has become worse recently. The entire Asian market has begun to tighten its attitude towards our company.

Asia is our main export area, if the Asian market continues like this, we will be in trouble. "

Meng Qian's face was calm, after all, he already knew that such a thing would happen, "Well, this issue was raised at the beginning of the year, so have you thought about how to deal with it?"

"Everyone has already set off to deal with it." That's all Xiao Boshi can say. Everyone is indeed prepared, but in the face of this kind of thing, preparation may not come in handy.

Seeing that Meng Qian was silent, Xiao Boshi leaned over and took a look and found that he was browsing Moments, "Mr. Meng."

"Huh? What's the matter? Oh. Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, I give him a thumbs up."

"." Although Xiao Boshi felt a little useless, he still asked, "Does Mr. Meng have any good countermeasures?"

After Meng Qian liked it, he clicked to edit the content, "Don't panic when encountering anything, first post to Moments."
