In the western restaurant, Inland Feng and Almi were eating slowly. Most of the companies in the outside world had given up on Nokia. Even if it were to be sold, it would not be their turn.
Siemens' marketing department contacted Nokia. The people below had no idea about these things, and they submitted one analysis report after another.
Herman was sitting in his seat and looking at the report in front of him. The office door was pushed open and several heads of the marketing department walked in. Herman looked at them and said: "Everyone, please sit down!"
"President, I think this matter is a mistake. All the information comes from Jiafeng's Lu Feng himself. From all aspects of Nokia, this matter is not credible." A man in his fifties said.
The man said.
"Although there are constant rumors outside, I contacted a small shareholder who is a member of Nokia's board of directors and they did not hold an internal board meeting," another person said.
There was a lot of talk at the scene, and all signs showed that Nokia had no intention of selling it, and everyone was living a healthy life.
Herman didn't think so. He sat down with a cigar, looked at everyone and asked: "Then why doesn't the CEO of Nokia face the problem head on? He was vague on the phone before, and he didn't stand up until the matter got serious.
To clarify, Lu Feng is very close to Almi. Let’s analyze his character. Is he the kind of person who is willing to apologize easily?”
The people present looked at each other. If you were to analyze human nature, you wouldn't know.
"Let me tell you one more thing. Tomorrow Siemens will face market pressure and it is expected that its finances will be in trouble one year later. Will it seek financial support from the outside world? Do you think the top management will make a big deal about it?" Hermann asked.
After everyone heard this analysis, they seemed to understand that they must not publicize it, otherwise the entire company would lose heart in an instant, which would only lead to an even more uncontrollable situation for the company.
"Are you saying that their top management now has this intention, and that Lu Feng's apology is the result of pressure from Nokia?"
"Yes, that's what I think. It would be okay if Lu Feng didn't apologize, but it wouldn't be right for him to stand up and apologize. We still need to pay close attention to this matter. It's best to sit down and talk with Lu Feng. If we
Being able to directly eat Nokia, even if it is only part of it, will be a huge boost to the development of our communications/mobile phones." Herman expressed his thoughts directly.
Other senior executives stopped talking. The decisive trends of a company of this level are extremely confidential. Some of them are even contacted privately and will not be announced to the public until the day after the acquisition is completed. This is also because they are afraid that some companies will interfere with it.
"If this is the case, this Lu Feng has become an important figure?" A white man in his sixties looked around and continued: "Didn't you two meet in London some time ago? We happened to have a phone call.
thing."
Herman was quite embarrassed when he heard this. Before, Lu Feng made an appointment to call him but he didn't answer the call. Now he wants to contact him but can't.
"So everyone should pay attention to this matter. Pay more attention to relevant news. You can also go and talk to some consulting companies. That's it for today." Herman did not answer the question and directly issued an eviction order.
After everyone left, Herman called his assistant and asked him to continue making an appointment with Lu Feng.
Half of London is talking about Lu Feng's origins. This man from the East has attracted too many people's attention. Coupled with Almi's appearance, it is like a twister that detonates explosives. I don't know how many people are jealous behind the scenes.
With.
Half a month passed by in a flash. As the public opinion began to calm down, people's attention was occupied by daily news. In the past half month, Xiao En had visited several times, invited Lu Feng to dinner several times, and asked insinuating questions.
Regarding the Nokia matter, he himself said that he was asking for Ericsson, but Lu Feng didn't think so.
After asking him again and again, Lu Feng became impatient and told him that he was just being careless and had already apologized. He couldn't embarrass his future father-in-law. However, he drank too much that day and seemed to have spilled the beans.
Nokia just pledged part of its equity and didn't want the outside world to speculate. It just wanted to make some money quietly through its own hands.
After Sean went back, he was tossing about and couldn't sleep. For a moment, he couldn't figure out which of Lu Feng's sentences were true and which were false. Judging from various sources, Nokia was indeed short of money. If it could get a large amount of money, invest it in brand building/sales channels.
In other aspects, they can really survive.
With Nokia's current situation, the possibility of high-level gambling is very high. From the outside, being suppressed by Ericsson now means a slow death.
Thinking of this, Sean immediately got up and wrote an email and sent it directly to Herman.
After this period of development, Jiafeng Group's business in the UK has reached its peak. Unlike other businesses, when the business reaches its peak, there will be a retention effect, and a considerable number of customers will be practical for a long time. Jiafeng's products are different, they are basically
The above is a one-time use.
When the business peak has passed, what will soon be ushered in is a cliff-like decline in sales. Now Jiafeng has basically closed the loan link completely. Due to too many agents, sales have declined. Many teams have begun to stop making money, and some people have started to make trouble.
This bomb will explode sooner or later.
In the conference room, the situation in the company was basically introduced. Lu Feng suggested that the method is to increase the formation activities, cheer each other up, and at the same time reduce the recruitment of new members.
There are almost very few new members. According to Jiafeng’s activity statistics list, a total of six million people have participated in Jiafeng’s activities in the past six months, with total agents of 2.9 million and existing agents of 1.8 million.
, according to the population structure of the UK, Jiafeng Group has basically screened all the people aged 35 to 55, and the products are one set per capita.
There are too many liars and not enough fools!
Lu Feng looked at the data on the folder, lit a cigarette and muttered: "It's better to go to a country with a big fucking population and do this to make money quickly, and get hundreds of apartments quietly. Okay, let's break up the meeting!"
Lu Feng closed the folder and looked at Manager Li and said, "Please come to my office."
Inside the office, Manager Li closed the door, looked at Lu Feng and said: "Mr. Lu, many recent lawsuits have been decided. We lost three cases, with a total compensation of 10 million pounds. Moreover, our management in the court has not improved.
Spend less, and the entire market now has little potential to tap.”
Lu Feng raised his head and looked at him. Manager Li's words were very clear. This place was running out of money. If he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to take any money with him.
"How is the situation in other branches?" Lu Feng sat down and asked.
"France is the most developed, followed by Germany, but they are not as good as here. Those countries have passed the gas and are trying to contain us in all aspects. In yesterday's conference call, the French branch was able to transfer 80 million US dollars this week.
, several other branches are still thinking of ways, and the biggest influence is Siemens." Manager Li replied.
Lu Feng took out a folder in front of him and looked through it again, raised his head and asked: "It shouldn't be a problem to return one billion US dollars to the headquarters, right?"
Manager Li looked embarrassed when he heard this. There were too many places to spend money, and these people just caught them in a gray industry area. In addition, they are foreign companies, which are much more shameful than local companies. They are always asking for money.
To put it bluntly, the profit of the entire enterprise can be said to be 1 out of 10.
"well!"
Lu Feng sighed. It was already May. It seemed that he had to hurry up and get out. He sat there and thought for a while and said, "Since pigs can no longer make money, we can only kill pigs and let the people below
Compile a sales secret for me, and then ask all the lecturers to learn it for me within a week, and then sell courses in major groups. As long as you take our courses, it is trivial to earn hundreds of thousands of pounds a month. Do you understand?
"
Manager Li answered clearly that he would set up relevant departments to implement this matter. At the same time, he also understood that this game would eventually become unplayable. The purpose of selling courses now was just to make up for the efforts of some outsiders to eat into Jiafeng's profits.
It's just a means to squeeze out the last bit of oil and water.
"Have you finished the company you were asked to form some time ago?" Lu Feng asked.
"In that folder." Manager Li pointed to an orange folder on the table.
"Okay, you go about your business. We need to hurry up on the sales course. We should publicize it internally and set a level in terms of pricing, such as one, two or three. It is best to target those who have made money from us.
Let them spit it out." Lu Feng said very directly.
"I see!"
"Let's go out." Lu Feng bowed his hand and signaled that he could leave.
There was a small calendar on the table. It was already May 18th. Lu Feng silently calculated in his mind that the funds must be transferred within a month, otherwise the trip would be in vain.
After sitting in his seat and pondering for a long time, and smoking several cigarettes, Almi still believed in Lu Feng. There were fewer rumors from the outside world, but the inquiries between big companies never stopped.
Siemens is too covetous of Nokia. As long as they swallow Nokia, their strength in communications will definitely grow rapidly.
Lu Feng seemed to have figured out something, so he picked up the phone and prepared to call Herman. After pressing a few numbers, he hesitated, put the phone down again, and relayed Sean's call.
After the call was connected, Lu Feng said to the phone: "I'm Lu Feng, are you in London now? Let's have dinner together tonight?"
Sean on the other end of the phone was a little surprised at Lu Feng's invitation. Now Lu Feng is definitely among the top people in the European business community, at least that's what the outside world thinks, and the relationship between the two has also faded during this time.
few.
"I'm in London and I just want to have a meal?" Sean wanted to find out something.
"I've been feeling upset lately. I want to talk to you. Of course, it's not just about eating. I'm holding something back in my heart. I'm feeling quite uncomfortable. There hasn't been much progress lately. Can we talk?" Lu Feng said to him.
The phone said.
"Is it related to Almy?" Sean asked further.
Lu Feng saw his unfazed look and said directly: "It has something to do with Nokia, so you can decide whether to eat or not?"
