In this conference center building, icq once held product launches here, ushering in the "social era" of the Internet industry. It is also the birthplace of the America Internet Association and the first America Internet Conference.

Not surprisingly, the Internet Bill 230, which will be passed on Capitol Hill within a few months, was also born here. San Jose is the center of Silicon Valley, and this conference center is the center of Silicon Valley. There are already many Internet companies in Silicon Valley.

, when holding important meetings, placing the venue in this building makes the San Jose Convention Center more and more symbolic. Many people began to tout that this is the holy land of the Internet industry...

Alcatel Mobile won the naming rights of the conference center at a price of US$3.5 million per year. This is the same routine as those companies naming basketball stadiums and football stadiums. It is all for publicity.

It’s just that the purpose is different. Those companies that name sports stadiums do it to promote to fans, while Alcatel Mobile’s naming of this conference center is more to expand its influence in the industry, or to improve Bige and Jun.

Can’t you see the Alcatel mobile phone logo hanging in the conference center in the heart of Silicon Valley?!

Alcatel Mobile won the naming rights of the conference center for five years, but only paid cash for two years. If there is a problem in the future, Alcatel Mobile can run away, but if it plays like this, its reputation will be ruined.

In the conference center building, there were already many invited people. When they arrived in the lounge, Motorola President Sandel and his people met an "old friend" as soon as they arrived at the conference center.

The so-called enemies were extremely jealous when they met. Looking at Ollila and Sandel, and the rest of the people in the lounge, they felt an undercurrent surging.

The Ollila in front of us is the current president of Nokia who established the Nokia dynasty, surpassed Motorola in sales of Nokia mobile phones, and became the global mobile phone empire!

It can be said that Ollila was appointed at a critical moment to help the building collapse and save Nokia from fire and water. Before Ollila took over Nokia, one of the previous two Nokia presidents chose to kill himself with a bullet because of performance pressure.

A man who worked for three years packed up his work and left, turning his position as president of Nokia into a high-risk profession.

At that time, Nokia was not as miraculous as described in the autobiography. It had an outstanding vision and a sharp eye. It sold all its irrelevant businesses and then took off from the ground. It was because it suffered too much losses that it lost everything it could get from selling it.

All sold.

As for the mobile phone business, the board of directors of Nokia also wanted to sell it at the time, but Ericsson looked down on it, so the deal was not completed and the company retained it.

When Ollila took over Nokia, it was a big mess. Nokia has many businesses, which can be said to be comparable to General Electric today. Through large mergers and acquisitions, it has entered industries such as telecommunications, papermaking, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, natural gas and even weapons research and development, but it is not

Everyone is General Electric's Welch, and they can still play well after buying it, but Nokia got rid of it and suffered terrible losses.

Ollila, who became the president of Nokia, seems to have a lot of cards in his hand, but they are a bad one. There are no cards that can be played. As for the mobile phone business, it can be considered a good one, although not as good as Ericsson.

Motorola, etc., but it was finally a card.

After studying the mobile phone business, Ollila led Nokia to become the dominant player in the global mobile phone industry in less than five years. Naturally, Ollila also became famous and was considered the world's top professional manager, just like Wei Wei.

The kind that are on the same level as Erqi.

But the more outstanding Nokia's performance, the more embarrassing it is for other peers. It was surpassed by a mobile phone brand in just a few years. The most embarrassing thing is Motorola, which has been the mobile phone supremacy for more than ten years.

In the past few years, Nokia's market value has reached new highs and now exceeds 198 billion euros, which is much higher than the current Motorola.

After Sandel and Ollila met, they were both obviously stunned for a moment. Instead of exchanging words and even engaging in martial arts as others in the lounge expected, they both behaved very gracefully.

"President Sandel!"

Ollila was the first to reach out to Sandel in a graceful manner, but Ollila's "peaceful" attitude gave Sandel a sense of provocation.

He had long heard that Ollila was good at dealing with challenges. At that time, there was a lot of lamentation within Nokia, and everyone was badmouthing Nokia. Only Ollila was still optimistic about Nokia.

Without any warning, Nokia's board of directors promoted Ollila to be the president of Nokia and asked him to save Nokia.

As for Ollila's character, we can get a clue from some things in the rumors. When he was vacationing by a lake in Helsinki, Ollila's daughter asked him if he dared to jump. It was originally just a joke.

, but Ollila, who has a strong nature and likes challenges, jumped into the lake on the spot. You can imagine what kind of character Ollila is.

Sandel frowned, but still smiled, "President Ollila, long time no see!"

After the two shook hands vigorously, they let go. They just glanced at each other, did not argue anymore, and went to a corner of the lounge in a tacit understanding.

There is no need to be quick to talk. Although the fight between Nokia and Motorola was broken, Ollila and Sandel did not expose each other's wounds when they met this time.

"Is the Arbat mobile phone related to Nokia?"

Sandel naturally understood what he and Ollila were doing sitting here. Today's mobile communication conference held by Alcatel Mobile obviously had bad intentions. He needed to confirm Ollila's attitude before he could make a suitable decision later.

Motorola's interests are decided. At this time, it's useless to argue with Oriola, and you may not be able to win over the other party. Who makes Nokia sell more mobile phones than Motorola...

Ollila shook his head. He understood what Sandel meant. The Alcatel P1 mobile phone has a vague design style of Nokia. Nowadays, all major mobile phones have distinctive styles. Outsiders may still be a little confused, but insiders

Just by looking at it, you can tell which company designed the phone.

Although the design of the Alcatel mobile phone is somewhat different from that of the mobile phones currently on the market, it still has a vague shadow of Nokia, which makes Sandel wonder whether the Alcatel mobile phone was deliberately supported by Nokia to disgust Motorola.

Shaking his head, Ollila said decisively, "Alcatel mobile phones have nothing to do with Nokia, and that P1 mobile phone is not designed by Nokia!"

Nokia was also analyzing the P1 mobile phone, and even Ollila had doubts about whether this was Nokia's next-generation mobile phone design, but the result was a huge disappointment for Ollila.

Hearing Ollila's words, Sandel was both happy and troubled. Fortunately, Alcatel mobile phones have nothing to do with Nokia, but the troublesome thing is that Motorola may have to meet a real rival in America.

"This time, Alcatel Mobile may launch some mobile phone industry agreements that will be accepted by all major mobile phone manufacturers!"

Sandel revealed the information that Motorola had learned to Ollila. As a local snake in America, it was not difficult for Motorola to find out this information.

Ollila also said to Sandel politely, "I think when it comes to mobile phone industry standards and rules, Motorola should stand together with Nokia to maintain order in the mobile phone industry and prevent turmoil in the mobile phone industry. This is also

For the benefit of mobile phone users around the world..."

Nokia and Motorola hold a large number of mobile phone patents, technologies, and standards in their hands. They are also the world's largest and second largest mobile phone manufacturers. Together, they determine the pattern of the mobile phone market to a certain extent.

No matter how fiercely Nokia and Motorola fight, the two companies also understand that they cannot take advantage of No. 3. No matter whether they win or lose, they can at least survive.

It's really a shame to say that.

"Of course, Motorola has an obligation to work with Nokia to maintain the order of the mobile phone industry!"

Seeing Ollila and Sandel in the lounge, they talked for a long time in the corner, and then stood up to shake hands again. Representatives of Ericsson, Sony and other mobile phone brands in North America who were invited today saw this scene and knew that Nokia

I'm afraid we have reached some kind of agreement with Motorola!

Today is called the Mobile Communications Conference, which sounds high-end, but in fact, there are only a dozen companies invited. It is impossible to host it in a hall that can accommodate thousands of people. It can only be held in a conference room.

When Song Yang entered the place where the meeting was held, there were already many people sitting inside, along with Eltian, Doberpur from PA Semiconductor, and several executives from Alcatel Mobile.

All the companies in the conference room had different expressions when they saw Song Yang, some were curious and some were obviously resistant. Only people from the Telephone and Telegraph Group and the French Alcatel Telecom Group had different expressions when they saw Song Yang and others.

A smile appeared on his face.

Song Yang was the first to say hello to Sandel, a local snake, "President Sandel, I heard about Motorola's "Iridium Project". This will be a miracle in the history of science and technology, and global communications will enter a new era!"

As soon as he came up, Song Yang touted the "Iridium Project" that Motorola had invested a lot of money in. Motorola announced that it planned to invest 6.4 billion US dollars to complete the entire project. This was a big deal in the technology industry this year. The news was almost

After the announcement, all major media began to report it, and there was endless praise. It was a pearl in the history of science and technology, an event that changed the era of human communication, etc. Even the deputy commander of the Federation was on the stand for Motorola.

However, unlike these flowers and applause from public opinion, Motorola's stock price has plummeted.

This made Sandel wonder for a moment whether Song Yang was really touting the "Iridium Project" or telling the truth.

"Really," Sandel glanced at Song Yang with a half-smile, and one sentence made Song Yang's smile freeze on his face, "I heard that the North American Global Investment Fund in your hands is willing to invest in high-tech companies.
