Resource Tycoon Reborn

ps:ps: I wish everyone a happy new year in 2016!

In a cafe just outside the flower market, Jorma Orilla was sitting opposite the window with a Caucasian man who was over fifty years old. ↑,

"Jorma, Royal Dutch Shell is extremely sincere this time. You will serve as its non-executive chairman, and when the time is right, you will also become its chairman! I think this is a very good choice!

"The white man said seriously.

"Tom, I have to think about this matter again. As you know, although I am no longer the CEO of the company, this company can be said to have condensed most of my life's efforts. I feel that I do not have that much energy."

Invest in other companies." Orillia shook his head slightly and said, "How are you doing now?" Thomas Scardino, the chief operating officer of Euronext, is also Orillia's friend.

.

"What else can I do? It's like there is always a hungry wolf chasing me behind me, without even a moment to breathe." Scardino sighed. Six years ago, in Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam

The stock exchange announced the merger to form Euronext. Scardino spent four years acquiring London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange PLC, acquiring the Portuguese Exchange, and merging the London Settlement Department and Settlement Network into London

Settlement Network has become the largest central clearing service provider in Europe, integrating the Pan-European Stock Exchange and becoming the fifth largest stock exchange in the world. The market value of assets traded on the exchange is close to three trillion US dollars!

But after the integration of Euronext was completed, before Scardino could fully enjoy the joy of being busy, news came that Deutsche Börse and the New York Stock Exchange were interested in acquiring Euronext! This is very important to Santiago.

For Cardinal, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. There was a feeling that the fruits of victory were about to be snatched away by others.

"Well, Tom, the integration of stock exchanges can avoid unnecessary competition between exchanges, and after exchanges break regional restrictions, resources can be allocated more effectively globally. Savings through synergies can achieve

Maximizing profits is an inevitable result of the trend of economic globalization, and it is also the reason for the rapid development of derivatives trading. This is what you said to me at the time." Orilla patted Scardino on the shoulder and said, although he

He understands his friend's feelings very well, but he also understands that this kind of thing is no longer something that Scardino and himself can stop. The merger of stock exchanges has now become a trend. And we must go against the trend.

The results... are self-evident!

"I understand, I understand." Scardino smiled bitterly and waved his hands. It's just that for this kind of thing, the truth is clear. Even if it is the truth that he originally used to comfort others, when it falls on him, it does not mean that he can do it.

Accept it calmly.

"Which one are you leaning towards now?" Orilla asked casually while looking out the window, "I personally feel that the New York Stock Exchange is stronger in terms of breaking regional restrictions and allocating resources globally, huh?"

Aurilla pressed the table, stood up, and looked out the window with bright eyes.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Scardino followed his gaze strangely. There was nothing special outside the window, but there were three beautiful beauties.

"Wait for me!" Orila said, striding towards the store door.

Scardino watched Orila walk out of the store and caught up with the three beautiful beauties...and then grabbed a young Asian man next to him and gave him a warm hug. Scardino's eyes immediately

It lit up. My heart of gossip was burning.

But when Orilla pulled the young Asian man and the three beautiful beauties in front of him, and with just one sentence, Scardino's desire to gossip was completely extinguished.

"Tom. Let me introduce to you. This person is Fang Mingyuan, the dual president of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Hong Kong Kuok Shipping Group, and the non-executive chairman of Nokia Group. You can call him 'Fang'." Orila

Then he said to Fang Mingyuan, "This person's name is Thomas Scardino, the CEO of Euronext and a good friend of mine."

"Mr. Scardino, nice to meet you." Fang Mingyuan stretched out his hand and said to the stunned Scardino.

It wasn't until Fang Mingyuan stretched out his hand that Scardino woke up from the excitement. He quickly stretched out his hand to hold Fang Mingyuan's hand and said, "Mr. Fang, it's an honor to get to know you. Please forgive me for being rude just now."

Although he had known Fang Mingyuan's name for a long time, had it not been for Orilla's personal introduction, Scardino would not have been able to believe that the young Asian man in front of him, who looked to be about twenty-four or five years old, was actually Ding Ding.

Daimyo's "square"! 0

Fang Mingyuan introduced Guo Qing'er, Angelina, Viola, Orilla and Scardino to the two of them. Only then did they realize that none of the three people who dared to follow him were cheap! At their status,

Naturally, it is impossible to know anything about the wealthy families in the upper class of Europe. Naturally, we also know how powerful Angelina and Viola's family backgrounds are. However, the two of them are a little strange. When did Fang Mingyuan meet with Weiola again?

The Welf family is so close that the Welf family actually sent two direct members to accompany him on his visit to Amsterdam?

The six people moved to a big table and sat down again. Orilla said: "Fang, when did you come to Amsterdam? Why didn't you say hello to me in advance?"

"I just arrived today. You are such a busy person. Even if you are not the CEO of the company now, you will definitely not be able to take time off. Besides, I don't have anything important to do. What should I do with you?" Fang Mingyuan spread his hands and asked. Orilla looked at it.

He looked at Fang Mingyuan, then at the four people next to him, sighed softly, and swallowed what he was about to say.

"I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing at the flower market in Amsterdam when you're not staying at the company headquarters?" Fang Mingyuan asked, "Does it mean that the Nokia Group is going to open up new market areas?"

"I asked Jorma to come here." Scardino smiled, "To be honest, after Jorma resigned as CEO of Nokia Group, many well-known companies are very interested in him.

Royal Dutch Shell asked me to talk to Jorma, and they are interested in asking him to serve as non-executive chairman."

"Executive Chairman of Royal Dutch Shell? What a good position." Fang Mingyuan chuckled. This is a giant in the international oil industry, and in the next few years, it will be a period of great development for the world's oil companies. Orila

Being able to become the non-executive chairman of Royal Dutch Shell would also be a great improvement in social status for Orillia personally.

"But Jorma said we need to think about it again," Scardino pointed at Orilla.

Fang Mingyuan turned to look at Orilla and sighed in his heart. Although the Nokia Group is still a well-known mobile phone manufacturer in the world, and its mobile phones occupy an unshakable position in the global market, there are also hidden dangers.

Buried. Although Fang Mingyuan agreed to serve as the non-executive chairman of the Nokia Group, in fact, shortly after becoming the non-executive chairman of the Nokia Group, he decided not to dictate the decisions of the Nokia Group unless

That decision seemed ridiculous to him.

In Fang Mingyuan's view, Nokia Group's success lies in mobile phones, but its future failure will be because its mobile phones are too successful! Since the mid-1990s, Nokia Group has become the world's largest mobile phone company

Manufacturer, and has been occupying this throne until now, no one can shake it! Last year, Nokia mobile phones accounted for nearly 40% of the global market share, this achievement is also extremely dazzling! In other words, the rest of the world's

All mobile phone manufacturers share the remaining 40%. During this period, the Nokia Group can be said to be the undisputed overlord in the global mobile communications field, almost the industry rule setter, market monopolist, profit margin and shipment

Quantity is far ahead of competitors!

It is precisely because the performance is so brilliant that many people in the Nokia Group, including shareholders, directors and most of the management staff, have been dazzled by the brilliant performance. They look down on Apple, look down on Samsung, look down on Motorola, and look down on others.

All peers, including Xinyi Group Company, a subsidiary of the Fang family. Although it is already the largest mobile phone manufacturer in China, these people will not show their disdain for Xinyi Group Company in front of Fang Mingyuan.

They tried their best to maintain the Symbian system, which was highly profitable at the time, but lacked a long-term strategic vision, ignored the importance of technological breakthroughs, ignored software research and development, were too focused on the improvement and innovation of existing products, and basically did not consider "destructive innovation"

, has never been able to eliminate the idea that mobile phone communication functions are the first, which leads it to ignore those extremely valuable new ideas. This makes the hardware level of Nokia mobile phones very high, but in terms of mobile phone software applications, it can only be said to be very poor.

Oops,

Although they are investing in new technologies in research and development, the Nokia Group has spent a lot of money, billions of dollars, which has always been equivalent to several times Apple's investment. It also has powerful research institutes set up around the world.

There are a total of twelve R&D centers!

However, the huge investment has not been able to be converted into the company's profits. Even if many good patented technologies are developed, they have to be shelved because of the lack of attention from the top management.

Orillia is not completely blind to this, but although his status in the company is lofty, he is retiring. Although he has given up the position of CEO, he is still the chairman of the company, but his power is still intact.

The deductions have shrunk. Moreover, the equity of Nokia Group is relatively dispersed. The combined equity of Fang Mingyuan and Orila, even if they win over a few more directors, is not enough to change the direction of the board of directors.

This is why later on, Fang Mingyuan no longer expressed opinions easily on the development of Nokia Group, because although most people on the board of directors didn't say anything about some of his views on the surface, they thought behind the scenes that his ideas were too advanced and too ambitious.

Be realistic! They were pessimistic about the future development prospects of Internet technology after the Nasdaq crashed.

Under such circumstances, Fang Mingyuan naturally cannot afford to really work hard for the Nokia Group. Anyway, the main rivals to seize the market share of the Nokia Group in the future are Samsung and Apple, and in these two companies, Fang Mingyuan owns far more shares than

Nokia Group. He can just sit back and watch Nokia Group decline step by step. Of course, he will also gradually let go of his shares before Nokia Group falls.

Now that the world has entered the information age, the speed of industry adjustment can be said to be much faster than that of the last century. Many products can only be brilliant for a while. If we cannot continue to seize those fleeting and precious opportunities, then

Even an industry's industry rule setter and market monopolist may lose all its monopoly status in just a few years. This is why the Welf family attaches so much importance to Fang Mingyuan. It is because of old Welf and the others.

They were all impressed by Fang Mingyuan's forward-looking strategic vision!

It's just that Fan Mingyuan has no hope of changing the future of Nokia Group, but Orila is still working hard to turn this big ship that has deviated from its channel back to its original channel.

"Jorma, I don't think being the non-executive chairman of Royal Dutch Shell will affect your love for Nokia Group. They are completely in two different industries, and there is no conflict of interest between them. Moreover,

, This can also expand your network and social influence." Fang Mingyuan smiled, "Personally, if you serve as its non-executive chairman, you may be able to promote cooperation between Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company and it."

He couldn't help feeling that the inertia of history was indeed very powerful. Just like in the previous life, Royal Dutch Shell still extended its hand to Orila!

Orila's mouth twitched. To be honest, he still felt guilty for Fang Mingyuan. He had originally invited Fang Mingyuan to become the non-executive chairman of the Nokia Group, but he did not expect that Nokia Group would later achieve brilliant results.

Those shareholders and directors were all confused, thinking that Nokia Group could continue to develop like this, so they scorned some of Fang Mingyuan's reminders and opinions. Fang Mingyuan later attended and spoke less and less in the board of directors. He saw that

When he came out, Fang Mingyuan was already quite disappointed with Nokia Group.

"Jorma, everyone thinks you shouldn't refuse the invitation from Royal Dutch Shell!" Scardino said. (To be continued.)
