Unparalleled True Technology

There are also turbulent undercurrents in peaceful times, but these undercurrents are too far away for ordinary people.

When Wen Ming was reminded by Teresa Roy, he thought that even if a mobile phone manufacturer like Nokia had become the overlord of the mobile phone industry, it would not be able to affect his life safety.

Because in his view, Nokia is just a mobile phone manufacturer, not an arms company.

However, in fact, the history of Nokia's development can be described by the Encyclopedia of Human Industry. In addition to the well-known start of manufacturing toilet paper, Nokia has also been engaged in the arms business, the real arms business.

In the 1980s, Nokia owned 50% of the shares of Finland's SAKO Arms Company, and the bullets and other products produced by this company all had the NOKIA logo on the outer packaging that is familiar to the world.

In addition to bullets, the most famous weapon produced by SAKO is TRG-21, which is the most popular sniper weapon besides AWP in a game called Cross Fire played by Wen Ming in another world. Rifle, its nickname is the Finnish sniper.

Back then, Wen Ming bought the Aries version of TRG-21.

If Wen Ming knew this, maybe he would not ignore Nokia's hatred so much. In his opinion, if it is only through the mobile phone industry's strife, Apple does not need to pay attention to Nokia at all.

But would a company like Nokia really only use business practices to attack Wen Ming's Apple?

"I don't think we can do that."

In the Nokia headquarters in Finland, Stephen Elop, the president and CEO of Nokia at the helm, was a little emotional because he had some very big doubts about the solutions proposed by the board members.

"Since Kerremo committed suicide, we have never touched this business again. Moreover, the company's decision at that time was also to sell all other industries, specializing in mobile phones and mobile network equipment, which made us develop Nokia to where it is today."

Kerremo was the last helm of Nokia. At that time, because of the collapse of the former Soviet Union's market and the oppression of rival Motorola, he chose to end his life with a bullet.

And his successor, Stephen Elop, took over the Nokia Group at that time and led Nokia to where it is today.

"If we now use unconventional means to deal with Apple as you said, what will be our result?"

The more Stephen Elop said, the more emotional he became. As an orthodox businessman, he likes to use commercial methods to deal with competitors. Although many of those commercial methods are completely illegal, they are not, after all, using money to work for their lives as the board members said.

"The current society is different from before. Surveillance is everywhere. Moreover, Apple is no longer a small company. Their revenue in the last quarter exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars, and their net profit exceeded 3 billion U.S. dollars. You What are the consequences if we kill his boss?"

Taking a deep breath, Stephen Elop said with a solemn expression: "Don't forget, what was the reason why Kerremo committed suicide at the beginning, do you want me to commit suicide after this incident is over? Are there allegations and crises that the company might face?"

There were not many members in this internal meeting. In addition to Stephen Elop, there were only three other main board members.

For these board members, although Stephen Elop also has shares in Nokia, the share of those shares is too small. Originally, their private decision could not tell Stephen Elop at all, but out of concern about a certain situation, they hoped that Stephen Elop would be mentally prepared.

"We're not asking for your opinion.

"

A director said: "We are notifying you, and let you make relevant preparations. Because according to our investigation, the boss of Apple does not have any close relatives who can inherit his estate, and he has never made a doctor's order. .”

Hearing this sentence, Steve Elop's eyes widened, because he had already thought of what the director would say next.

"We will use the relationship to operate on his legacy, and then find a way to transfer them all to our Nokia. At that time, I hope you can lead the company and firmly control the iPhone product in our hands. hands."

Stephen Elop's hands were trembling at this time, and he himself can be regarded as a capitalist, but the words just now made him a capitalist a little scared.

"Impossible, this is impossible, neither the US government nor the Chinese government will allow us to easily obtain Apple's technology and the ownership of iPhones. What's more, besides us, some companies want to get Apple."

The director who spoke before noticed Stephen Elop's trembling hands, smiled cryptically, and asked, "Do you know why there is no such sudden rise in this world?"

Without waiting for Stephen Elop to answer, the director continued: "Because they were either absorbed, or they had capital support behind them. Apple's rise is too fast. Whether it was Microsoft, Neither the current Facebook nor its speed of rise can compare.”

"The development of any world-class enterprise requires long-term accumulation before it can explode. This is not only to lay a solid foundation, but also to allow them time to build a good relationship with real capital and find a A consortium that can help them weather the storm. That’s why, Bill Gates only owns 3% of Microsoft, Mark Zuckerberg, now only has 21% of Facebook, and in the future, his Facebook shares will increase even more less reason."

"Apple's future will undoubtedly be world-class, but it is developing too fast. When its quarterly revenue exceeds 10 billion U.S. dollars, its boss still owns 100% of Apple's shares. Therefore, it is doomed We will become captives of the consortium. Even if we don’t do it, other people will choose to do it. Of course, only we can perfectly accept Apple and develop it into a truly world-class enterprise.”

Stephen Elop asked his last question, and his voice trembled a little: "Theresa Roy has a very good relationship with Apple. If he..."

The director laughed and said, "We are all for profit. He is also for profit."

The meeting ended here. Even if Nokia is now at the helm of Stephen Elop, for those directors, he is just a senior worker. No matter how advanced a migrant worker is, he is just a migrant worker.

And these old-fashioned capitalists have experienced the relatively chaotic period of the last century, experienced the period when Nokia became a shareholder of SAKO Arms Company, encountered and used those methods. For them, life, an indescribable thing, has nothing to cherish except their own.
