Chapter 172: Nokia's plummeting market value

Nokia 2010, as a new flagship mobile phone released by Nokia in 2010, is equipped with the new smart phone operating system WP7 launched by Microsoft, which can be said to be highly anticipated.

This feeling is like Apple's annual new machine release in another world. Because now, Nokia is still the well-deserved overlord of the mobile phone industry.

The cumulative global sales volume of all models exceeds 1 billion, so Nokia does not need to boast at all. And this kind of sales has also allowed Nokia to accumulate countless fans around the world.

But half a month after Nokia 2010 went on sale, Nokia began to suffer abuse from all over the world. Almost all of these abusers were fans of Nokia, so they chose to buy the new Nokia phone just after it was released.

The abuse of fans is the greatest pain in the world.

The actual impact of those abuses is that the share price of Nokia, which is listed on Nasdaq in the United States, has plummeted.

"Has it fallen below $100 billion?"

Wen Ming took a rare look at the stock market. When he saw that Nokia's market value had dropped from 113.2 billion US dollars to 93.7 billion US dollars, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation. But in an instant, I began to feel the magic of fate again.

In another world, after Apple launched the first iPhone in 2007, its stock price soared all the way, and managed to overtake Nokia in 2008. Moreover, the market value has reached twice that of Nokia.

By 2011, Nokia's market capitalization was only 7% of Apple's.

In this world, before Wen Ming, there was neither Apple nor iPhone, so Nokia was able to maintain its dominant position in the mobile phone industry until 2009. Even when 2010 just came, it was still able to maintain a market value of 113.2 billion US dollars.

Because although Apple launched the iPhone and achieved amazing sales, Nokia has a large technical team, mature sales channels covering the world, and a huge user base accumulated over the years, which makes most shareholders think that , As long as Nokia launches a new flagship model, it will be able to beat the iPhone and Apple in the market.

It is difficult to become the overlord of an industry, and it is not easy to fall from the altar.

However, the confidence that the whole world gave to Nokia was completely lost because of Nokia 2010.

Wen Ming is currently holding the Nokia 2010. From the appearance, this phone is also very beautiful. After all, Nokia's design team is also very strong. Moreover, as the first full touch screen mobile phone launched by Nokia, Nokia 2010 has realized the long-cherished wish of many Nokia fans.

(ps: Before the iphone, Nokia did not have a full touch screen phone.)

In addition to hardware, mobile phone software is also very important. Nokia 2010, which uses the WP system, does not worry about software issues at all, because Microsoft has never worried that no one makes software for their system platform.

In fact, when the WP system was just released, the amount of software that can be applied to the WP system has exceeded the amount of software that can be applied to the iphone's ios system platform.

This is where Microsoft's confidence lies, and this is the real reason why Nokia chose to cooperate with Microsoft.

Nokia 2010, which is very powerful in software and hardware, why did it cause the market value of Nokia to drop sharply, and 19.5 billion U.S. dollars evaporated in half a month?

"Because this phone is really weak compared to the iPhone."

There is no harm if there is no comparison. Nokia’s new flagship mobile phone, which was pre-ordered and released on January 3, 2010, can win the result if it is compared with any mobile phone of the same level or even a level higher than the iPhone in the market. .

Even compared to the first three generations of iPhones in another world,

There is no difference.

The first-generation iPhone launched by Ke Wenming's Apple Company is another world's iPhone 4, a mobile phone that should be released in mid-2010, and is said to redefine the smartphone.

At this time, only four months have passed since Wen Ming released the iPhone in this world, and in these four months, even Nokia couldn't make a mobile phone that surpassed the iPhone.

In fact, Nokia released 2010 not to defeat the iphone, but to stabilize their high-end phone market.

But what they didn't expect was that they failed.

If it weren't for Apple's current only one iPhone, and because its pricing is positioned as a high-end machine, then Nokia's market value will fall further. In other words, if Nokia hadn't been supported by a large number of mid-to-low-end models with sales, they would have lost their position as the leader in the mobile phone industry.

"If I announce that Apple is going public now, or that Apple makes low-end models, then, is Nokia..."

Wen Ming began to think about the possibility of such a plan not without malice, since the enemy had money, so he couldn't kill the enemy. Then, let the enemy become poor, and then kill the enemy.

Even if the shareholder of Nokia still owns other industries, how much money can he have when Nokia's market value drops from 113.2 billion US dollars to tens of billions, or even less than 10 billion US dollars?

After the asset has shrunk tenfold, can you still hire a senior security team? Can you hide where no one can find it?

"This is really a good way."

Wen Ming's eyes lit up, of course, it wasn't his eyes that glowed, but reflected the light.

"But if Apple goes public now, I will lose a lot of money. If I launch a low-end model, what kind of model should I launch?"

The Apple of another world also has mid-range models, such as iphone5C and iphone5SE.

But the sales of these two models are actually not very good. Wen Ming is very worried that the launch of such a model will affect Apple's competitiveness in this world.

He is not Cook, and he always wants to eat Jobs' old money. He can fully use the black technology he has obtained, and the black technology that may be obtained in the future, so that his Apple company has always maintained a world-leading technology.

"Wait, why did I launch a low-end model? My purpose is just to let Nokia's market value fall."

As if suddenly awakened, Wen Ming walked back and forth in the laboratory with some excitement, which made the second-generation special spiders in the incubator a little restless.

Fortunately, besides him, only Cui Chuanming could enter this lab, otherwise, others would think he was crazy.

After walking around a few times, Wen Ming left the laboratory and found Lilith who was processing the report.

Because there are more and more affairs between Apple and Tesla, Lilith can no longer handle all the reports by herself. Therefore, Lilith is now leading a team of 5 assistants who are directly responsible to Wen Ming.

After calling Lilith to the next room, Wen Ming laughed lewdly, which made Lilith nervous. Although she also hopes to become the wife of the founder of Apple, but when she thinks about the age gap between the two parties...

"You contact Sith and find a way to release a message to the outside world in the name of an insider breaking the news."

Lilith breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "What news?"

Wen Ming continued to shrink and said with a smile: "Let's say that we, Apple, are developing mid-to-low-end models and are preparing to fully cover all levels of the mobile phone market."

Lilith froze for a moment, and asked, "Boss, didn't you say that we only do high-end products?"

Wen Ming nodded, and said with a natural look: "Yes, we really only do high-end products."

Lilith asked puzzledly: "But..."

"This is fake news."

Wen Ming smiled and said: "But I hope that you can make the outside world think that this news is true, don't ask why, just do it."

Lilith complied and didn't ask any more questions, but when she was about to leave, she still couldn't help but turn her head and said, "Boss, your smile just now really has the air of a loser."

Wen Ming was stunned, and didn't realize it until Lilith left the room. Doesn't the word loser mean hanging silk? In other words, did Lilith think her smile just now was obscene?

"How could it be an obscene smile? It's obviously a proud smile because of my genius idea. Who can make another company's stock price plummet without spending a penny?") Download a free reader! !
