Reborn IT Giant

Because of a piece of news, Zheng Yan put aside everything he was doing in the United States and hurried to Helsinki, the capital of Finland.

Helsinki is a city that combines classical beauty with modern civilization. It is also a garden city that cleverly combines urban architecture with natural scenery. Most of the buildings in the city are built of light-colored granite, and it is known as the "White City in the North." At the same time, because of its proximity

The Baltic Sea is beautiful and clean all year round, and is praised as the "Daughter of the Baltic Sea" by the world.

Although it is winter now, because Helsinki has a temperate maritime climate, the temperature is much higher than that of New York, making it very comfortable.

"Zheng Yan, the time agreed upon by Bion Westerlund and I is at seven o'clock in the evening. In addition, the heads of some other local companies also want to meet with you. I wonder what you mean?"

Since Miyuki Aso was not here and the matter this time was very important, Zheng Yan had no choice but to ask Bill Miller to put down his work and rush over. However, the two of them did not deliberately hide their itinerary, and many people were eyeing Zheng Yan.

I want to have a relationship with him.

"Bill, I have only one goal this time, and that is Nokia. As for other companies, whether they are financial institutions or physical enterprises, they are not my goals. If you feel it is necessary, you can meet with them and I will not.

Already."

Today, Nokia is just an inconspicuous small manufacturer, but who would have thought that ten years later, it would be the well-deserved overlord of the mobile phone industry.

Currently, Nokia is on the verge of bankruptcy due to its involvement in too many industries. Nokia's president and senior management are gradually abandoning other industries and splitting traditional industries. Only Nokia's electronics department is retained. Even its traditional industry paper mill was abandoned more than a year ago.

It has been sold. This is a good opportunity to own Nokia, so Zheng Yan came.

As for other industries in Finland, except for Nestlé, Zheng Yan had never heard of them, so he had no idea of ​​participating.

"By the way Bill, what time did you agree with the head of the Bank of Finland?"

"According to the information I got, because Nokia's economic situation is very bad, the Bank of Finland is already preparing to sell Nokia, so I think he

Since we are not the biggest obstacle this time, we have arranged the meeting until tomorrow."

Today, Nokia is still controlled by the Bank of Finland, and the Bank of Finland is also Nokia's largest shareholder. If you want to successfully take over Nokia, the Bank of Finland cannot get around it. In Zheng Yan's view, the communication with the Bank of Finland is crucial.

Even more important than the meeting with Nokia Chairman Bion Westerlund.

"Since it's been arranged, let's do it. I'll take a rest first. When the agreed time comes, you can come and call me again."

Zheng Yan has always had the idea of ​​getting involved in the mobile phone industry, but so far, except for a small share of Apple, he has not gained anything. Fortunately, something happened at Nokia, which gave Zheng Yan the opportunity to intervene.

"Zheng Yan, Mr. Bion Westerlund has arrived."

At 6:45 pm, Bill Miller knocked on Zheng Yan's door.

"Mr. Westlund, this is Zheng Yan, the president of our Sunshine Investment. Zheng Yan, this is Mr. Bion Westlund, the president of Nokia." Bill Miller introduced to the two of them.

"Hello Mr. Westerlund, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to meet."

Zheng Yan looked at the energetic old man in front of him with admiration in his heart. Although Jorma Ollila was the master of Nokia's resurgence and pushed Nokia to an unprecedented peak, but when it comes to making Nokia bigger

The one who contributed was the old man in front of him - Bion Westerlund.

Bion Westerlund has always focused on the telecommunications industry. He believed that the future telecommunications industry would be the trend of technological development, so he established the Nokia Electronics Department and focused on telecommunications systems. If it were not for him, there would be no civilization.

The Nokia of the world.

"Hello Mr. Zheng, although I have seen reports about you, I can't help but feel a little surprised. You are really too young."

"I'll take this as your compliment to me. Please sit down."

Zheng Yan has heard about the issue of his age countless times, so he is not surprised.

"Mr. Westerlund, I believe you already know the purpose of my visit. I know the current situation of Nokia."

The situation is not very good, and I am interested in this aspect, so I hope to invest in Nokia."

Anyway, Bion Westerlund already knew the purpose of his visit, and Zheng Yan didn't bother to beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

Björn Westerlund did not expect that Zheng Yan would be so direct, and some of the pleasantries he had already thought about would be of no use.

"Mr. Zheng, according to my understanding, your investment has always been concentrated in Internet-related industries. Why are you suddenly interested in mobile phones? Of course, this is just out of my personal curiosity, and you don't have to answer it."

Zheng Yan's words directly disrupted Bion Westerlund's negotiation ideas, so he did not express his opinion, but asked a seemingly insignificant question.

"Yes, I do have a soft spot for the Internet industry. I have never concealed this. I am afraid that the entire Wall Street knows this. However, in my opinion, after the mobile phone industry develops to a certain extent, it may not be able to completely replace computers.

But at least it can have most of the functions of a computer."

"I know my point of view is a bit strange, but I really think so. In this case, it is not surprising that I am interested in the mobile phone industry."

What Zheng Yan said was a fact many years later, but no one can see it now. Even Bion Westerlund was particularly optimistic about the telecommunications industry, but he didn't think so long-term, or he didn't dare to think.

"I really didn't expect that Mr. Zheng would take such a long-term view. But I still have something that I'm very confused about. I hope Mr. Zheng can help me answer it."

"Although Nokia produced the first Nordic mobile phone, it is not a great company in the world, or even just a very inconspicuous existence."

"With Mr. Zheng's current economic strength, if he is optimistic about the future development of mobile phones, he can definitely invest in a large company, such as Ericsson in Sweden or Motorola in the United States. Why choose Nokia?"

Because Bion Westerlund has invested a lot of effort in Nokia, he has always opposed the sale of Nokia and does not even want too much outside capital to intervene.
