The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The hometown of Santa Claus in Finland is one of the five Nordic countries. It borders Sweden, Norway and Russia. The country has a total area of ​​338,000 square kilometers and 188,000 lakes, so it is known as the land of thousands of lakes.

But because one-third of the country's land area is within the Arctic Circle. As a result, Finland has long, cold winters and mild, short summers.

However, in such a small country, a giant like Nokia, which currently dominates the global mobile phone industry, has emerged. Moreover, Finland is highly industrialized and highly liberalized, and its per capita income is far higher than that of other European countries and comparable to that of neighboring Sweden.

And the Finnish government officials are extremely clean, which has reached a consensus throughout the country. Therefore, this country can always show a positive side to others, and it is also the country with the highest happiness index.

Therefore, this country is extremely suitable for the elderly because it has a very complete welfare system. It is also very suitable for immigrants. If you want to see what the face of a foreigner who has not been bullied looks like, then come to Finland, you can see it everywhere on the street.

Of course, living in a country with such good welfare, the first thing you face is high taxes. Finland's personal income tax arrest rate is as high as 40%, which is basically one of the countries with the highest personal tax payment in the world.

But even so, some companies in Finland have not registered offshore companies to avoid taxes like companies in other countries, at least such examples are rare.

The only reason for this phenomenon is that the owners of these companies have patriotic feelings. Naturally, it is because of the country's high welfare and clean government. As long as they pay enough taxes, even if their company goes bankrupt and their children fail to become talents, they can still live in this country without worry.

He was still in France in the morning, and Yang Dongxu flew to Finland in the afternoon, a journey of 3 hours. Besides him, Zhou Ya, his second son Xiao Wenchen, the elder sister's family and his aunt Ran Feifei also followed.

The only reason why these people didn't stay in France to continue playing was because Ran Feifei, a guy who often wanders around Europe and the United States, said that Finland is a good place to escape the summer heat. Although the whole summer is short, the temperature is around 20 degrees.

For the people who have been tortured by the hot weather around half of Europe, they naturally agreed to come to Finland together, not only to stay in France to continue shopping. In particular, you can see the legendary polar day that never sets, so everyone's interest is naturally higher.

Yang Dongxu's arrival notified Nokia's top management, so someone came to the airport to pick him up. But what he didn't expect was that it was his old friend Carew Edward who came to pick him up.

As the current executive vice president of Nokia, Carew is definitely one of the few senior executives with real power. Especially for his excellent performance in the Asian market, the call for this bearded man to become the president of Nokia has been getting louder and louder within the company in the past two years.

"I'm just here to talk about the shares. There's no need to be so grand, right?" Seeing Kalu Yang Dongxu was already very surprised, but he was surprised when he saw other senior executives of Nokia.

He hurriedly went up to shake hands and greet everyone, and briefly introduced Zhou Ya and the elder sister's family by the way.

"When I was in China, you took good care of me. I finally came to Finland, and I will naturally give you the highest courtesy. After all, Finland is a country of courtesy." Karu smiled and gave Yang Dongxu a hug.

But Yang Dongxu knows that things are obviously not that simple. It seems that he has been selling shares in Nokia mobile phones during this period of time. Let these high-level people have a vigilant heart.

Being prepared for danger in times of peace has always been a quality that a qualified high-level executive must possess at all times. Even now that Nokia has the largest mobile phone business in the world, even Motorola and Ericsson in the United States are only rivals that can fight, but they can only fight, and the others are mediocre.

But they were obviously not dazzled by the great situation in front of them, and they were extremely vigilant and attached great importance to Yang Dongxu's sudden insistence on holding shares in the mobile phone business.

The reason why Nokia's top management is so vigilant is undoubtedly related to Yang Dongxu's underestimation of his own influence. There is nothing wrong with Nokia being successful and powerful.

But even though some senior executives of Nokia were not convinced, they had to admit that the investment vision of the young man in front of them convinced them.

In particular, Nokia's mobile phone business is now the world's number one, and the young Huaxia shareholder in front of him is one of the advocates and promoters.

Now it can be said that the founder of Nokia's mobile phone business, a shareholder with a legendary investment vision, has started to insist on holding shares in Nokia's mobile phone business. How can you let them not pay attention?

Of course, attention does not mean fear, but just a little anxiety in the face of the unknown. After all, those people in the company's strategic department are not vegetarians.

After discovering that Yang Dongxu had begun to sell shares in Nokia's mobile phone business, the company's senior executives also met more than once with the board of directors, reviewed the company's operating conditions from top to bottom, and collected a lot of information on the international mobile phone market.

There is no problem in the company's operation. The international mobile phone market is still in a booming stage, and Nokia can still take advantage of the victory. Therefore, with the uneasy and uneasy collection of these real data, they began to keep their hearts in their stomachs.

This time, the reason for the visit of Yang Dongxu, a major shareholder, is to set such a high standard. One is that everyone wants to see what this Chinese man with excellent investment vision thinks. Another reason is naturally that since there are no problems with the company's operations and the mobile phone market, the shares in Yang Dongxu's hands are very sweet.

After saying hello and a few pleasantries, I went to the hotel first, because everyone followed, so Yang Donggu directly booked a villa. In this way, it is not only convenient for everyone to live in it, but also convenient for the protection work of the bodyguards.

The successive accidents made Yang Dongxu attach great importance to security work, not to mention that his wife and children were with him far away from his own country.

Finland is indeed a highly industrialized and liberalized country, and its residents' happiness index ranks first in the world, and its government is extremely clean. But that doesn't mean there are no criminals here, so be careful.

They have already met each other, and everyone tacitly knows what each other means, and Yang Dongxu is not in such a hurry. So after a day off, Nokia's top management didn't urge him.

Just participated in the regular meeting of the shareholders of the two companies, and then negotiated and voted on several development plans for the second half of the year. After that, Yang Dongxu accompanied his wife and children to play in Finland.

Finland is indeed a good place to escape the summer heat, and now most countries in Europe are like stoves. The highest temperature in Finland is about 20 degrees, which makes people not too comfortable.

And under such a temperature, the surrounding scenery is as refreshing as spring. In such an environment, everyone's nerves are relaxed, and everyone starts to have fun. But this worry was quickly broken by the arrival of a person.

Adams-Smith, a slightly thin, blonde and blue-eyed European and American, has a handsome appearance and a humble attitude. More importantly, this guy's identity is the deputy general manager of the investment department of the First Bank of the United States.

Speaking of the First Bank of the United States, many people may not have heard of this name, but Citibank is well known. The First Bank of the United States is a subsidiary of Spending Bank.

In other words, Bank One is the head office of the First Citibank consortium. That's right, Citibank is not just a bank, it is a huge consortium, and it ranks among the top ten consortiums in the United States.

Unlike other consortiums controlled by families, the Citibank consortium was indeed controlled by the Stillman and Rockefeller families in the early days.

But in the 1930s, Citibank failed to recover because of the financial crisis. Later, in the 1950s, Citibank stood up again through corporate mergers, including the First National Bank of New York, which is now the First Bank.

Compared with other family history consortiums, the Citigroup consortium is a joint consortium. The senior management of the consortium is composed of many influential shareholders, just like a powerful team, pushing forward the Citigroup consortium together.

Therefore, compared to other family consortiums that control their own core industries and companies, Citigroup’s investment can be said to be blooming in all directions. It not only has major cooperation and joint shareholding companies with several consortiums in the United States.

It also accepts the injection of foreign capital, and more than half of the investment money comes from abroad every year. In addition, he is also a major shareholder of the largest arms dealers in the United States, from passenger planes to bombers, from missiles to rockets. As the world's largest arms dealer, the consortium can take away a lot of the high annual arms profits.

He has money and an arms company in his hands. Therefore, the strength of this consortium made many established consortiums look sideways, so when Yang Dongxu heard that the person who wanted to see him was from the First Bank. Surprised on his face, he not only frowned.

The purpose of the other party's visit was obvious. He came directly to Finland for his Nokia shares. Even Bank One is already the majority shareholder of General Telecom.

But no one dislikes this kind of high-quality investment, so it is easy to understand that the other party wants to acquire the shares of Nokia in his hand. Yang Dongxu only frowned because it was uncertain whether it was good or bad for him to be targeted by such a behemoth, or to have entered the vision of this behemoth.

Especially now that the balance of power between the two sides is not equal at all, if the opponent is an adult Kong Wu who is powerfully armed to the teeth. Yang Dongxu is at best a young boy who has just started learning how to shoot a gun.

Therefore, if the opponent uses their powerful strength to crush him, although they may be hindered, they will definitely win in the end.

"Let's just say I'm inconvenient right now. Let's make an appointment tomorrow afternoon." Frowning, Yang Dongxu didn't see Adams for the first time, so he ordered Wu Sheng.

He turned around and went back to the room to pick up the satellite phone. Even if he thought about it too much, since the people from the First Bank began to pay attention to him, this matter could not wait for a while.
