On the second day after arriving in Helsinki, Zheng Yan originally thought that people from the Bank of Finland would come over early to negotiate with him. Unexpectedly, the other party was more calm than Zheng Yan imagined, and they only came around noon.

"Zheng Yan, this is the representative of the Bank of Finland, Mr. Hillebska. Mr. Buska, this is the chairman of our Yanhuang Investment, Zheng Yan." Bill Miller introduced to the two of them.

"Hello Mr. Zheng, welcome to Helsinki. How was your rest yesterday?"

"Hello Mr. Busca, Helsinki is the most beautiful city I have ever seen. Both the scenery and the air are so pleasant, so I had a great rest yesterday, and even the fatigue from the flight was gone.

null."

Zheng Yan did not expect that the person sent by the Bank of Finland to negotiate would be a young man. Although he is much older than Zheng Yan, he is still very young in the financial field. It can be seen that the Bank of Finland does not pay special attention to this matter.

This actually made Zheng Yan feel relieved.

"Mr. Zheng, it's almost noon. If you don't mind, I'd like to invite you to have lunch and talk about work by the way."

It seems that negotiating at the wine table is not unique to China. Zheng Yan did not refuse Hillebska's overtures.

"Mr. Zheng, it's a pity that you came at the wrong time, otherwise you would have seen the aurora..."

"Mr. Zheng, I heard that you are from China, which is a mysterious country..."

"Mr. Zheng, this is our Finnish specialty food, smoked salmon, this is Karelian pie, this dish is..."

“…”

Hillebska started chatting with Zheng Yan from the moment he sat down, and then introduced each delicacy. He seemed to have completely forgotten about the negotiation and was just having a simple meal. Zheng Yan was not in a hurry.

Wordless nonsense.

"Mr. Zheng, I heard that you met Bion Westlund yesterday?"

Zheng Yan did intend to acquire Nokia, but after all, it was not clear how determined he was. Hillebska's task was to sell Nokia. Seeing that Zheng Yan never took the initiative to mention Nokia, he finally couldn't calm down.

Angry.

"Indeed, I had a long conversation with Mr. Westerlund yesterday. As you know, I am here to acquire Nokia, but before that, I still need to have a general understanding of Nokia. Let's take a look.

Is it worthy of investment? As the president of Nokia, Mr. Westerlund has been in charge of Nokia for many years and knows the company’s situation best. It is not surprising to meet him.”

There was no way he could hide his meeting with Bion Westerlund from others, and Zheng Yan had no intention of hiding it. As long as the content of the conversation was not leaked, there would be no problem.

"What is Mr. Zheng's current opinion? Are you prepared to continue acquiring Nokia's shares?"

The Bank of Finland is Nokia's largest shareholder, and Bjorn Westerlund is the president of Nokia. They had always been on good terms with each other. But ever since the Bank of Finland intended to sell Nokia, the two sides have become inseparable.

Bion Westerlund insists on increasing investment to make the company bigger and stronger, while the Bank of Finland just wants to recover its funds as soon as possible to ensure that its own interests are not damaged. The conflict between the two parties has become irreconcilable. Hillebska

Zheng Yan gave up the idea of ​​acquiring Nokia because he was worried that Bion Westerlund would interfere with it.

"From the current point of view, Nokia's situation is very bad. If there is no new capital intervention, it may go bankrupt at any time. However, if the price is right, I am still willing to take over. I have always been interested in the high-tech industry and am not interested in it."

Do you mind spending money to buy an opportunity? Of course, all this has a premise, that is, the price must be right.”

"Compared with my previous investments, the risk of this investment is too high. Whether it is Cisco, Oracle, or Apple, they are all well-known big companies, but Nokia is different. Nokia has no reputation in the industry, and secondly, it has no reputation.

I have to carefully weigh the profitable projects I can take."

Hearing that Zheng Yan had demoted Nokia to nothing, Hillebska felt helpless, "Mr. Zheng, as far as I know, when you invested in Cisco, Cisco was also a little-known small company, not you.

It’s a big company that has a good reputation.”

"Yes, Cisco was not well-known at that time, but it had a huge advantage. The router was from Cisco.

Original research products are exclusively owned by Cisco, and even if others want to catch up, it will take time."

"But Nokia is different. Nokia has been following the footsteps of other companies, and at present, it seems that there is no possibility. Now Motorola is the only company. In Europe, Sweden's Ericsson has also left Nokia far behind.

It is lagging behind, and in Asia, whether it is Japan or South Korea, their strength in this aspect is also greater than that of Nokia."

"I believe you are very aware of this. If this were not the case, your Bank of Finland would not be willing to sell Nokia, right? I believe that no one except me is willing to take over now. Of course, if you are willing to sell it at a very low price,

That’s a different story.”

Originally, Hillebska thought that Zheng Yan should not be difficult to deal with since he was so young. In addition, since Zheng Yan traveled thousands of miles to Finland, he was naturally determined to win Nokia. Now it seems that things are as he imagined.

Somewhat different.

Hillebska once specially analyzed Zheng Yan's past investments. Each time he took great risks, but he was proved to be right every time. He even had some doubts in his heart whether Zheng Yan would be sure to let the investment go.

Nokia comes back from the dead.

But this kind of thought is just a fleeting thought. Investment in the telecommunications industry does not require money. In terms of financial strength, I am afraid no one will question Zheng Yan, but Zheng Yan has advanced technology that is unknown to everyone.

, I’m afraid no one will believe it. Could it be that Zheng Yan really just bought one? Hillebska suddenly felt a little undecided.

Fortunately, Hillebska's mission was to find out what Zheng Yan was talking about, not to make the final decision. He left the hotel after lunch. Hillebska did not understand Zheng Yan's intentions, and Zheng Yan also

I don’t know the bottom line of Finnish banks.

"Bill, please contact Bion Westerlund and ask him to find out the attitude of the Bank of Finland."

Björn Westerlund has cooperated with the Bank of Finland for many years, and it should not be difficult to just find out the other party's attitude. Although this negotiation did not mention any substantive content, Zheng Yan knew that when the next negotiation is held,

It's time to get results, and it's not a bad thing to make some preparations in advance.
