"Boss, Hiller is back."

"Let him in quickly.

Gari Saarinen, as Hilebska's immediate superior and the main person in charge of this incident, has been waiting for news about Hilebska and has been impatient for a long time.

"Hiller, what was the result of your meeting with Zheng Yan this time?"

"Sorry boss, Zheng Yan is too cunning and did not disclose any substantive information. However, he is very clear about the current situation of Nokia. He must have got all the information from Bion Westerlund. But there is

One thing is certain, he does intend to acquire Nokia."

"But it's unclear how much he is willing to pay for it. He doesn't seem to take this investment very seriously. Aren't we currently negotiating with Ericsson? I think we can delay it. If the two parties

If everyone is interested, we can work around it and get the maximum benefit."

The reason why Gari Saarinen is so anxious is because Ericsson has rejected the acquisition of Nokia. They believe that Nokia's TV business is too risky. And he also knows that this kind of news cannot be hidden from Zheng Yan, and now he just wants to sell Nokia's shares as soon as possible.

"Ericsson has rejected our request. Now we have only two options. First, sell Nokia's shares to Zheng Yan to recover losses; second, continue to increase investment in Nokia and look forward to him

Will bring the dead back to life.”

"But the second one is obviously impossible. Now all the senior executives have been completely disappointed with Nokia. Before this, Nokia still had traditional paper making and pharmaceutical factories, which could generate some profits. But now these industries have been sold. Nokia

The company has become a bottomless pit that can only be entered but cannot be exited."

"Not only that, after the Boston Consulting Group's evaluation, it also felt that Nokia's mobile phone business cannot compete with Motorola and Japanese mobile phone manufacturers. Now we have no other choice but to sell Nokia's shares."

"We are not as wealthy as Zheng Yan, and the board of directors will never allow increased investment in Nokia."

Silebska also didn't expect that things had deteriorated to this extent.

"Boss, I think we can contact Bion Westerlund. He must have some understanding of Zheng Yan's thoughts. As long as we understand Zheng Yan's bottom line, at least we won't be passive during negotiations.

"

It is not that Gari Saarinen has not thought about Hillebska's suggestion, but Bion Westerlund deeply hates those who advocate selling Nokia, and it is almost impossible to get information from him.

"Boss, Mr. Bill Miller is here. Do you want to meet him?"

Just as Gari Saarinen was thinking hard about countermeasures, his secretary walked in.

"What is he doing here?" Gari Saarinen couldn't help but wonder.

Bill Miller has always been in contact with this acquisition of Nokia. Garry Saarinen is no stranger to him, but his intentions are a little strange. As soon as Hillebska entered the door, Bill Miller followed.

come over.

"Invite him in."

No matter what Bill Miller's intentions are, judging from the current situation, Zheng Yan is his only escape route. As Zheng Yan's spokesperson, Bill Miller is naturally not easy to offend.

"Mr. Miller, what's the reason for your coming here this time?"

"Mr. Saarinen, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm here mainly to convey our boss's intention. Our boss also knows that this kind of thing cannot be decided in a short time, but our boss may not be able to continue to stay in Finland."

Yes, he needs to return to the United States as soon as possible."

"As you know, our boss is from China. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and our boss must rush back to spend the holidays with his family. And our boss's girlfriend is still in the United States. He must go to the United States first, and then return to China."

"This time I have brought an offer from our boss. We can acquire the shares held by the Bank of Finland at a premium of 10%. I believe no one will offer a higher price than us. I hope you can consider it carefully."

"We will return to the United States in two days. If we cannot reach a consensus before then, we can only express regret."

Zheng Yan had no choice but to send Bill Miller over. He had just received a call from An Ran. An Ran and Li Yanran were preparing to return to China, but

Zheng Yan hadn't decided yet whether to go back together. An Ran gave Zheng Yan three days to think about it, so Zheng Yan only gave Gari Saarinen two days.

"Mr. Miller, you must also know that it is almost impossible to make a decision on this kind of matter within two days. I think we can postpone the matter and wait until after the Chinese New Year.

"

What Bill Miller gave seemed to be an ultimatum, but it also inadvertently revealed Zheng Yan's determination to acquire Nokia. Although Garry Saarinen was already satisfied with the 10% premium, if he could sell it at a higher price

, what does it matter if you wait a few more days.

"Mr. Saarinen, to be honest, I personally am not optimistic about this investment, and I am even somewhat opposed to it. Maybe you can wait, but can Nokia wait? Maybe Nokia will be bankrupt by then."

"The development of technology companies is always a race against time. Now Nokia has lagged far behind. If it doesn't catch up, what's the value of investing? But Nokia simply doesn't have enough funds to support its operation. I think we have shown that we have

As for your sincerity, it’s up to you, Mr. Saarinen, as to how to decide.”

Bill Miller did not stay long and left after expressing Zheng Yan's opinions.

If you want to agree like this, Gari Saarinen can definitely explain it to the board of directors, but he is a little unwilling to do so. He always feels that he is being led by Zheng Yan. If you want to say no, once you miss this opportunity, who knows if there will be the same thing.

opportunity.

"Hiller, do you think Bill Miller's words are credible?"

"Boss, Bill Miller is not optimistic about this investment. I don't think he is lying. Everyone knows that his investments have always been known for their stability. However, I am not sure what Zheng Yan thinks."

"Although Zheng Yan is famous, he has almost no contact with the outside world. There are not even any interviews about him. Bill Miller has always been in front of the stage. We know too little about him. The opponent is not scary, but the opponent is scary.

It’s because we don’t know anything about our opponent.”

Hilebska fully understood how Gari Saarinen felt at this time and did not interfere with his decision. After speaking, he remained silent.
