Rebirth of the Evil Life

Kallasvuo flew to New York in person and met John Doerr. .

"Mr. Doerr, I heard that you are the most famous venture capitalist in the United States. Can you give an explanation for this time?" Kallasvuo asked.

"Haha, President Kallasvuo, please rest assured that this is definitely not a hostile takeover, it is just my personal optimism for Nokia's future. I have absolutely no intention of having any interest in Nokia's equity." John Doerr explained.

He acquired Nokia shares to make money, not to compete for Nokia's equity. Even if he had this intention before, he didn't want to challenge anyone, become a shareholder, or be a chairman. His interest was only in making money and investing. Therefore, this misunderstanding must be explained clearly. Otherwise, if Nokia confronts him at this juncture, he will burst into tears. That investment will be in vain.

"Really?" Kallasvuo asked doubtfully.

"Of course, I guarantee it with my personality. I will never participate in the management of any company, and I have no interest in equity. You should know that I just asked Symantec to be sold to Lin Feng." John Doerr explained explain.

When he heard Lin Feng's name, Kallasvuo's face twitched. This name is almost like a curse to him. Before Lam Feng, Nokia had been going smoothly in the mobile phone market, making money easily and gaining reputation every year. It was the well-deserved king of the mobile phone industry. But as soon as Lin Feng came in, great, everything changed. Especially this year, Nokia's flagship phone failed miserably. So far, there are still more than 4 million units in inventory that cannot be sold. All of this is naturally thanks to Lin Feng.

In order to avenge its shame, Nokia forcibly launched the 'n97' project. In fact, 'n97' will not be launched until next year, or even the year after that. It's a pity that it has to be started early now. Although it is technically possible, it is a bit of a loss in terms of price-performance ratio. But there is no way. In order to defend Nokia's position as the king, Nokia will launch n97 even if it does not make money. Now you can imagine how he felt when he suddenly heard this name.

"Mr. Duer, since you and Lin Feng know each other, why don't you invest in Lin Feng's company? Although his 'Phantom Technology' has not yet been listed, it will be listed sooner or later. As for the 'Second World', isn't it a good choice? ?" Kallasvuo asked. Kallasvuo must be clear about everything involving Lin Feng, because if he doesn't, he is afraid it will be a trap.

"President Kallasvuo, you have to know that I am an investor, and Lin Feng's company is not suitable for investment at present, or the investment gains in his company are not great. On the contrary, Nokia is now at a historical low period, and I I am very optimistic about Nokia's n97. I believe that n97 can definitely restore its glory, so I invest in Nokia. Of course, if possible, maybe the two of us can cooperate!" John Doerr suggested.

cooperate? Kallasvuo narrowed his eyes. How to cooperate?

"Let me serve as an honorary director of Nokia,

I do not interfere in any daily management of Nokia, it is just an honorary title. Then, Nokia will be able to win the trust of investors by relying on its market position and reputation, which can increase the company's stock price and revive investor confidence. And I can also make more money with this stock price. John Doerr smiled slightly, "Everyone gets what he needs and cooperates for the same benefit." Of course, after the incident, my status as an honorary director can also be taken back, and I will voluntarily resign. "

Kallasvuo fell into thought. This suggestion is indeed good. Each side gets what it needs. Now the market has been looking down on Nokia. Even if "n97" is about to be launched, the market is generally not optimistic about "n97". In this case, as the most successful venture capitalist in the United States, this investment can indeed restore market confidence. And this will definitely trigger a butterfly effect, which can lead consumers to continue to be optimistic about Nokia. This is a good surname effect.

"Okay, deal!" Kallasvuo made a quick decision. Now Nokia has no choice. "n97" must succeed. If it fails, Nokia will gradually decline. Perhaps it can still occupy a place in the mobile phone market in the future, but by that time Nokia is no longer the king, but a follower and a trend chaser. This is unacceptable to Nokia.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" John Doerr said with satisfaction.

Subsequently, the two parties announced their cooperation. John Doerr acquired a total of 15% of Nokia's shares through the market and became the honorary chairman of Nokia! Yes, the honorary chairman. Originally, John Doerr only wanted the position of honorary director, but he was not as decisive as Nokia's board of directors and directly gave him the position of honorary chairman. Although the honorary chairman does not have any actual power, it is just a title. But that's also the chairman. This is tantamount to kidnapping John Doerr onto a Nokia ship. Nokia must make full use of John Doerr's market appeal to revive Nokia.

John Doerr was also a little surprised by this. But then he accepted it calmly. He is not a person who is afraid of trouble. Since he has become the honorary chairman, he should be the honorary chairman. Anyway, for him, the most it would do is make Lin Feng unhappy, or damage the friendship between the two. But in John Doerr's view, this is not a big deal. He is also doing business. Since he has no business dealings with Lin Feng now, there is nothing wrong with him investing in Nokia to make profits. As for cooperating with Lin Feng in the future, that is not a problem.

The nature of a businessman is to pursue profits. As long as the interests are suitable, there is nothing that cannot be traded. As long as there are benefits, everything can be suppressed and ignored.

After the two parties formally cooperated, the market responded extremely strongly to the cooperation, and Nokia's stock price immediately rose by 5%. Obviously, Wall Street still buys the name John Doerr very much and gives it a lot of face. Nokia is very satisfied with this. And John Doerr is even more satisfied. With the title of honorary chairman added to it, he earned US$500 million. This investment is extremely cost-effective. This is faster than making anything else.

Of course, if you really want to make big money, it will have to be after the launch of "n97". But it’s coming soon, in a few days, “n97” will be on the market.

When Lin Feng heard about the cooperation between John Doerr and Nokia, he was stunned and shook his head.

"Boss, aren't you angry? Duer had cooperated with us before. The relationship between the two parties was quite harmonious, but now after consulting your opinion, he suddenly went to cooperate with Nokia. Aren't you angry?" Natalie stared at Lin Feng asked.

If this were normal people, they would usually be very angry. Although the two parties are not friends, they still have friendship after all. If you turn to cooperate with a competitor, is it possible to say that you don't have any troubles in your heart? What's more, the other party has still consulted your opinion. This is enough to be considered a betrayal.

Lin Feng shrugged.

"Angry? Why are you angry? In terms of business, we no longer have any business dealings with Doerr. There is nothing wrong with him cooperating with Nokia. After all, the relationship between him and me is not between Ellison and me. So, what do I have? So angry. The only thing I can say is that his vision is really bad this time." Lin Feng sighed.

"Poor vision?" Natalie nodded, "Indeed, he has very poor vision. He actually chose to cooperate with Nokia. This is such a bad vision."

Lin Feng smiled.

"It's not that his vision for cooperation with Nokia is bad, but that he doesn't believe me. This vision is too bad." Lin Feng shook his head.

I believe Nokia is understandable. After all, Nokia’s status is here, I believe Nokia is normal. In this regard, Lin Feng will not accuse John Doerr of anything. But I have said that Nokia cannot be trusted, but John Doerr still cooperates, which means he does not believe in himself. If you don't believe in yourself, that would be a big mistake.

So, John Doerr will lose a lot this time, a lot.

"Boss, Nokia's 'n97' is about to be launched. Do we need any promotional activities to compete?" Tang Jun asked.

Nokia's new generation flagship product is said to be extremely powerful, surpassing "Fuxi", which makes Tang Jun have to be vigilant.

"Haha, don't worry, there is nothing to worry about. Nokia's hardware factory is indeed very powerful, but the software is really terrible. I told him that Symbian is not good, Symbian is not good, but he still needs to use Symbian , then you can’t blame yourself for not being able to win." Lin Feng shook his head and said. Of course, even if he doesn't use Symbian, it's useless. Apart from Symbian, the only thing Nokia can look forward to is 'Android', but 'Android' is also under the control of itself and 'Apple'. If this is replaced by 'Android', the future results will be the same.

Lin Feng took things step by step, and Apple didn't react much to the news. Steve Jobs is currently working hard to develop the next generation of smartphones and has no time to worry about these external issues. As for Samsung, they have begun to work hard on the research and development of ‘Android’. Although it will take some time for the 'Android' system to take shape, they have also obtained some interface codes. With these interface codes, they can start developing hardware functions. Once the system is on the market, it only takes an extreme amount of time to launch the new phone.

So, they don't care about Nokia's "n97" either. Time just passed. Everyone welcomes the launch of "n97".

Nokia has great confidence in this n97 and has hired many celebrities to promote it. His purpose is just one, to let "n97" quickly replace "Fuxi" and become the new mobile phone trend vane.

On June 18th, Kallasvuo personally visited the Nokia flagship store and began to launch a new generation of flagship phone - n97 to the world.
