Reborn IT Giant

What made Zheng Yan even more uneasy was that Jorma Ollila nodded, "Indeed, I think Nokia can participate. Although the Iridium project is led by Motorola, it is not the only shareholder and I believe they will not reject us. "

Zheng Yan realized that he had made a mistake. According to the development of history, Nokia at this time should be run by Bion Westerlund, who is known for his stability. It was only because of his participation that Jorma Ollila was allowed to take charge of Nokia. The time has been advanced.

The advance of time did not damage Jorma Ollila's talent, but he was too sensitive to risks, so he came up with the idea of ​​participating in the Iridium project. At this time, Zheng Yan was very lucky that he did not make his own decisions.

"Yoma, believe me, the Iridium project is an unrealistic fantasy. No matter how powerful Motorola is now, it will be dragged into the abyss. If Nokia also participates, we will never have a chance to surpass Motorola."

"For Nokia, the most important thing right now is the research and development of mobile phone technology. This is the foundation of the company's strength. Everything else is empty talk. Although I promised you that I will not interfere with your decision, I can't do it this time. "

This is the first and only time that Zheng Yan behaves so resolutely in front of Jorma Ollila. Knowing that it is a castle in the air and an unrealistic fantasy, why should he have extravagant hopes? Zheng Yan knows that, but Jormao Lila didn't understand.

"Zheng Yan, I respect your decision, but I want to know on what basis you came to your conclusion?" Faced with Zheng Yan's strength, Jorma Ollila still compromised.

Zheng Yan knew just by looking at Jorma Ollila's expression that if he could not give him a satisfactory answer, even if he made concessions, there would be a rift between the two. For Zheng Yan, Jorma Ollila It is not indispensable, but Zheng Yan does not want to replace Nokia unless it encounters irreconcilable conflicts.

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Zheng Yan invited all the staff out of the room. Zheng Yan knew very well that what he was going to say next must not be known to too many people.

"Yoma, what do you think is the reason for the emergence of mobile phones? What is the development trend all the time?"

When Zheng Yan asked all the staff to go out, Yorma Ollila thought Zheng Yan would tell some unknown secrets, but in the end he asked two meaningless questions. Yorma Ollila was momentarily confused. There was no reaction.

Regarding Jorma Ollila's reaction, Zheng Yan was not surprised and continued: "Actually, I can't tell you the reason for the emergence of mobile phones. It can be said to be a product of technological progress, or it can be said to be because people have I believe no one can truly explain the needs in this regard."

"But what about the development trend of mobile phones? As the CEO of Nokia, you should be very clear about this, right? Since Motorola produced the first mobile phone, due to poor call quality and too bulky mobile phones, these two problems have always been a problem for all companies. The focus of the research.”

"Now, the problem of call quality has basically been solved, mobile phones are getting smaller and lighter, and people are starting to improve their functions and beautify their appearance. So what's next?"

"Although I have never asked about the company's R&D direction, I am certain that Nokia is currently working hard on appearance and functionality. I believe you won't object to this, right?"

Even now, Jorma Ollila still didn't understand what Zheng Yan meant. In his opinion, what Zheng Yan said can be understood by just a person, so he asked in confusion: "Zheng Yan, these seem to be

It has nothing to do with the Iridium project, right?"

"It seems you agree with me." Zheng Yan did not answer Jorma Ollila's question, but continued: "Jorma, how much do you know about the Iridium Project?"

Seeing Zheng Yan talking about the crux of the problem, Jorma Ollila also became more energetic, "If I have enough understanding, I don't have to worry. You should know that a plan like this that invests billions of dollars will not be successful in the end."

It won’t be announced until it comes out…”

When Yorma Ollila said this, he suddenly realized something was wrong and asked in surprise: "Are you involved in this plan? Or do you know the specific process and content of this plan?"

Seeing Jorma Ollila's surprised look, Zheng Yan said with a smile: "I have already said that this is an unrealistic plan.

Of course I won’t participate. However, my understanding of this plan is beyond many people’s imagination, which is why I asked everyone else to get out.”

"What I'm going to say next, I hope only the two of us know. I didn't want to say it originally, but I don't want to see a gap between us, but as long as I leave this room, I will never admit it.

That’s what I said.”

Although Zheng Yan hadn't said anything yet, Jorma Ollila knew that what Zheng Yan was going to say next was definitely top secret, and his expression became more focused unconsciously.

"We all know that using mobile phones is for convenience, but what if it is inconvenient? Will people still pay the bill? I will only tell you two disadvantages of the Iridium plan. As for whether it has investment value, you can judge it yourself."

"First, according to my understanding, once the Iridium satellite project is successful, to a certain extent, it can indeed achieve the purpose of global communication. However, the satellite phone that matches it is still as bulky as the original Big Brother.

Of course, compared to its function, this is not a big problem."

"Second, the so-called global communication also has conditions, that is, there must be seamless connection between mobile phones and satellites. This means that Iridium mobile phones cannot be connected in buildings, even in cars, and mobile phones cannot

The only thing allowed between it and the satellite is air."

"Of course, these are only two disadvantages of Iridium mobile phones. There are others, but I think these two points are enough."

It is indeed enough, Jorma Ollila also thinks so. As for whether what Zheng Yan said is true or false, Jorma Ollila has no doubt at all. Of course, he is very curious about Zheng Yan's source of information, but he is not ready to go

Ask, I believe Zheng Yan wouldn't tell him if he asked.

"It's really unimaginable that I would be interested in such a stupid plan." Jorma Ollila said in frustration.

Jorma Ollila's words completely eliminated the gap between the two people, and Zheng Yan was quite pleased with this.

Jorma Ollila did lead Nokia to create a myth, but he also led Nokia down the altar, which Zheng Yan would not allow. After this, no matter what Zheng Yan wants to do, it will undoubtedly be much smoother.
