Seeing the progress of mobile phone design here is not optimistic, Duke couldn't help feeling a little irritated. Now he is used to the fast-paced working mode, and he can see many things within the expected time frame. But he can't do anything about the hardware design of this mobile phone, so he feels powerless. ☆:☆Piaotian Silk Network☆ Network☆

Duke was depressed, and suddenly the phone rang. After Duke answered, hello was not too late. Cai Siqiang's excited voice came from his ears like thunder.

"Duke, guess what happened today? One thing is a big deal in the company!"

What big thing happened to the company today? Duke didn't react at once. Seeing Cai Siqiang so excited, it would definitely not be a bad thing. However, the company's development has been relatively stable recently. There should be no major thing to formulate. He is so excited?

"Tell me, don't be stupid. What big things happened to the company today?" How could Duke guess what would happen? Fortunately, there was no need to be polite between him and Cai Siqiang, so he asked directly.

"You would never dream of Nokia's intention to cooperate in deep mobile phones with us!" Cai Siqiang also knew that Duke would definitely not have thought of it and solved the mystery cleanly. "How is it? Are you very shocked in your heart? Nokia, the former super giant in the mobile phone industry."

"I'll go!" Duke was really shocked when he first heard the news. He couldn't help but blurt out a catchphrase, thinking to himself what he was going to do, and then he suddenly remembered to cooperate with Sal.

When looking for a potential acquisition partner, Nokia also entered everyone's vision. When everyone analyzed it, they also considered this former mobile phone giant. Although from the general trend, the Piaotiansi Network equipment business and the large-scale construction of Piaotiansi Network, the subsidiary Nokia Siemens Communications Company performed well. Last year, the operating income was nearly 20 billion euros and the operating profit was about 2.5 billion euros. In this way, although the mobile phone business lost about 1 billion euros last year, the company still maintained a profit of more than one billion euros overall.

Therefore, Nokia's total market value is still hovering around US$20 billion. Such a scale is still a behemoth that cannot be confronted by SAL at this stage.

"Don't go." Cai Siqiang said happily, "It seems that we have gone a long way this year, so good things will come to us."

"Okay, let's talk about what's going on, I'm almost confused by you." Duke interrupted, because Cai Siqiang said for a long time but still didn't touch on the topic. What's going on with this cooperation? Duke had no idea at all.

"Okay, simply put, Nokia has a strong desire to cooperate with SAL in all aspects. The way they proposed to cooperate is to independently develop the mobile device department and establish a new mobile device company with SAL, and the two companies each occupy 50% of the shares." Cai Siqiang then briefly explained the whole story.

It turned out that this was Lu Yunpeng of Sequoia Capital. In a recent chat with the president of Nokia Asia-Pacific, he mentioned that Sal wanted to enter the mobile phone. I don’t know if it was Nokia already had this idea or some other reason. Anyway, as the two chatted, they actually came up with a Nokia mobile phone cooperation with Sal, because the president of the Asia-Pacific region believed that Sal’s current technology could help Nokia re-enter the high-end market.

Obviously, the successful cooperation between SAL and Gemde Mobile has left a profound impact in the eyes of the giant Nokia.

According to Lao Lu's later exchanges and analysis with Cai Siqiang, this matter should be that Nokia's management has already had some ideas and may be looking for some cooperation partners for the mobile phone business. The market performance of SAL and Gemtra last year was amazing, which was one of the main reasons why Nokia almost lost the entire Chinese market last year. Otherwise, it would not be the turn of the president of the Asia-Pacific region to make an idea for Nokia, although he is also an important member of Nokia's management.

In this way, after Lu Yunpeng's matchmaking, Cai Siqiang held the first round of intention negotiations with the president of Nokia Asia-Pacific.

"What are the conditions they proposed?" Duke was not as excited as Cai Siqiang. He knew that things were not that simple, and this cooperation condition would not be too easy for Salt.

"We are injecting all the technology related to mobile devices into the new company, plus $1 billion in cash investment." Cai Siqiang continued. Nokia's mobile phone business has been losing money for several consecutive quarters, and the headquarters has been maintaining it. Now that it is divested, the injection of $1 billion can only be operated.

As expected, none of the foreigners were stupid. Duke secretly complained in his heart. Taking out a piece of loss-making assets and immediately exchanged them for a large amount of cash, which may make the salted fish turn over and make it come back. This plan is really good.

"Do you think we made money or Nokia made money in this transaction?" Duke ignored Cai Siqiang's excitement and asked.

"Of course we made it," Cai Siqiang said without hesitation. "Duke, you can enter the first camp of mobile phones with a billion dollars. This opportunity is really good. Think about it, when our new mobile phone is branded with Nokia, the sales volume will be at least twice as high as we do it alone, and the price can be higher."

It can be seen that Cai Siqiang is very optimistic about this cooperation. According to his ideas, it makes a lot of sense. The money earned by working alone is not as good as working in cooperation, so why not cooperate?

From the perspective of commercial interests, this idea cannot be wrong. Only when strong alliances can stronger ones be stronger, which is easy to understand.

Thinking about it, Duke felt a little unhappy because he knew that Nokia's mobile phone business was basically surviving. Why did he need to help him in time and save him from the fire?

According to Duke's understanding, the biggest problem with Nokia's mobile phone business is that high-end smartphones are not used as products. They abandoned their own Symbian system and turned to the IA series. Although they have worked together with Microsoft, there is still not much improvement. The sales volume of real high-end mobile phones cannot even reach 10 million units in a year.

Under such circumstances, Microsoft, which had originally had some intentions for Nokia, dared not easily take over this huge burden. Judging from the financial statements in recent years, the mobile phone business has become Nokia's financial burden, but it is still unwilling to throw it away or dare not throw it away.

Judging from Microsoft's strengths, there is really no magic pill to restore the decline after taking over Nokia phones. @ya
