Sean has been collecting information about Nokia a lot during this time, and privately inquired that Lu Feng has also been idle during this time, and has found several powerful companies, as if he really wants to help Nokia.
In the evening, Sean was already waiting at the door of the western restaurant. Jiafeng's business in Europe was almost as busy as what he should do as a consultant. What's more, he also knew that Jiafeng's business had developed to the extreme.
Already.
Compared to before, he is really serious about it now. If this matter is brokered, whether it is legal consultant/fund guarantee or risk control, as long as it is mixed in, it will be a big sum.
money.
After waiting for ten minutes, an Audi parked in front of the restaurant. The co-pilot's bodyguard got out of the car and opened the back seat door. Lu Feng got out of the car, looked at Sean in front of him, smiled on his face, and raised his hand.
He patted Sean on the shoulder and said politely: "Why are you still standing at the door waiting?"
"I arrived a little early, it's okay." Sean said very politely: "The box is ready, let's go up."
The two of them walked towards the inside and entered the box under the leadership of a white foreman. Lu Feng took off his suit and put it aside. He sat down and said casually: "You and I haven't seen each other for a while. Recently.
I’m really busy. I don’t know what I’m busy with all day long, and I feel dizzy.”
"You are no better now than you were when you first came here at the beginning of the year. I have to sigh that time flies by so fast. Half a year has passed by in a flash. I didn't expect Jiafeng to develop so quickly here." Sean smacked his lips with some aftertaste and admitted.
Said: "Now that I think about it, I was wrong at first."
"Isn't this normal? There are too many people who have made mistakes along the way." As Lu Feng spoke, the waiter in front of him poured tea and laid out hot towels. Lu Feng raised his head and looked at him and said
: "I have met many people here in the past six months. When Kevin introduced you before, he said that you were retired. From what I have learned during this period, you are not just retired, right?"
Sean was stunned when he heard this, laughed and said: "I opened a consulting company, helping people build corporate structures, do market research and so on. Compared with you, it's not worth mentioning, so I didn't say anything at the time.
The past six months have not been easy, we are definitely friends, right?"
"Friends, of course they are friends!" Lu Feng looked at him and said with a smile.
Several waiters poured thousands of dollars' worth of wine into the wine dispenser, filled everyone's goblets, and stood nearby, ready to refill the wine at any time.
Sean raised his head and looked at a few people and said, "You go out, we can pour the wine ourselves."
After the waiters left, Sean cut off a piece of steak, took a bite and said to Lu Feng: "Since we are all old friends, let's talk openly. Is the Nokia thing true? Or are you?
A deliberate move?"
"It's true, but it's not true." Lu Feng picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He couldn't taste the uniqueness of such an expensive red wine, and said to Sean: "Nokia does want to raise some funds from the market, but this
Sometimes, I don’t want to shake the management’s confidence, so I just do it quietly, but I think it can be cannibalized.”
"Cannibalizing?" Sean said with some confusion, "I want to hear it."
"Simple, I recently checked Nokia's market share in the European market. In terms of communication infrastructure, they account for about 30% of the market. With 2G signal transmission patented technology, there is still a gap between them and Ericsson, not to mention Sony.
It is basically impossible for such a company to make further efforts, and China should have the highest market share."
"so what?"
"So, they will sell themselves off little by little. Now the idea of the entire senior management is to raise some money, completely increase the market share, and at least make achievements in mobile phones. Through some of my own research, I found that there is no way to return.
God, it's just a matter of dying early and dying late. From my business point of view, Nokia will disappear in the next century." Lu Feng said to Sean very confidently.
He also knew a lot about some basic information about Nokia. Many people were not optimistic about this company since it was spun off, and now it is struggling. The situation Lu Feng mentioned is very likely to happen.
"How much money are they trying to raise?" Sean asked.
"I didn't say anything, I just want to mortgage stocks. Because the prices in banks are relatively low, so part of them are mortgaged to banks, and part of them are sought for high returns among the private sector, or other aspects of resource swaps. When I chatted with Almi, they said
, it is best to have sales channel resources, they are worried about this now." Lu Feng ate a piece of steak while talking.
Sean's mind was spinning rapidly, and he was silent for a while before saying: "Herman contacted you, why didn't you answer the phone? Siemens is very interested in Nokia, and he is also taking care of Jiafeng's capital and foreign exchange issues."
"I don't like that person. To be honest, I have a personality." Lu Feng put down the knife and fork in his hand and said angrily: "Damn it, when I called him to contact him, I didn't even call him.
You didn’t even answer the phone, but now you think of me? Aren’t you just pinching my neck and not letting the funds go out? I made it clear at the meeting with the board of directors a few days ago that funds from various countries will not go out for the time being, and there are restrictions in Africa.
It doesn’t matter if Europe restricts another batch of funds.”
There was emotion in Lu Feng's voice, giving people the feeling of a broken jar.
"Business matters can't be acted on your own initiative. Besides, if your funds don't go out, they will be emptied by those people here sooner or later." Sean continued to inquire.
"I'm not a fool. I have already held an internal meeting to establish a company and brand. VCD is Jiafeng's exclusive global patent. I can't sell other companies to those companies. I will build a local factory and sell it.
vcd, and by the way, we will strengthen cooperation with Nokia to build a large R&D center." Lu Feng said to Sean: "I don't believe they will still come to trouble me, not to mention, there will be Nokia and Shi Luo behind me at that time.
The two major consortiums are the German Group.”
Lu Feng's words were very clear and straightforward. Even for people like Sean, they were a bit too straightforward, just like the vernacular spoken in the vegetable market. After thinking about it for a moment, he thought about Lu Feng and Nokia/Schlo
The relationship between Germany and the Group can indeed do it.
Perhaps this was Lu Feng's motivation for not answering Herman's call.
"Even so, Jiafeng Group's global capital investment is too dispersed. As I said before, there is no need to be too emotional in business behavior. Come on, come on, let me toast you." Sean said and picked up the wine glass.
He said: "I still think it would be better to have a chat with Siemens. This will be good for Nokia's development and good for you. I can help you connect the dots."
Lu Feng drank a glass and waved his hands, saying: "I don't want to see that person."
"Then can you find a second terminal channel that is better than Siemens? Find terminal retailers? They have no interest in Nokia's technology at all. They are in the retail business and will not get involved in the technology industry." Sean reminded
.
Lu Feng looked a little unhappy. He poured himself half a glass of red wine and drank it all in one gulp. It made Sean feel as if he had just come into contact with companies like Wal-Mart and had hit a wall in the past few days.
"I won't hide it from you. I contacted Almi a few days ago and she told me that you will be responsible for all this matter." Sean was a little confused and asked: "Why? Why should Nokia's affairs be left to you?"
Will you do it?"
Lu Feng had long thought that these people would skip him as an intermediary and go directly to Almi. During this period, he had always told Almi not to agree when he received the call, otherwise he would be completely disappointed this time.
"If it's convenient for people from Nokia to come forward, wouldn't it be enough to just make it public? They came to me just to keep it a secret." Lu Feng looked at Sean and said.
"Wouldn't it be better to sign a confidentiality agreement?" Sean still didn't understand and always felt that this matter was a trap.
"There are people over there who are worried. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I really can't find another company. You are here to intercede for Herman. There is absolutely no way for me to talk to him." Lu Feng said directly.
After that, I didn’t say anything and just kept eating.
Sean murmured to himself while eating. Judging from the business risks, what Lu Feng did was completely inconsistent with business rules and was muddle-headed. If he did it like this, there might be some risks involved, but the three Nokia companies
The words are so attractive.
What if?
Sean forgot a warning he had learned all the time in business. As long as he thought about what might happen, something would definitely happen.
Seeing that he was a little excited, Sean stopped talking and talked about other things. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the two of them had become very close. I still have to thank Sean for his help in the past six months. The two of them were polite to each other.
.
After going downstairs, Sean personally put Lu Feng into the car. He looked at Lu Feng and asked, "Are you happy to eat with me?"
"I'm absolutely happy. I'm telling you, you've been the most irritated with me since I've been in Europe for so long. I won't say any more. I'm going back first. I have a morning meeting tomorrow." Lu Feng bowed to him.
"How about continuing tomorrow night? I'll find you two beauties, and let's change places." Sean grinned at Lu Feng and said, "I told you, Paris is a romantic place, and London is a place for romance. Don't get there in one day.
If you think about work at night, just play when you need to, and go back to bed early."
He didn't wait for Lu Feng to agree, stood up straight, waved to the driver, and the car drove away.
Sean turned around and got in the car and called Herman directly. He didn't care whether Herman was asleep or not. After the call was connected, Sean got straight to the point: "From what I know now, the Nokia matter is extremely serious."
It's probably true. I just finished dinner with Lu Feng, and he was really worried about you not answering the phone before. I'm on the road now and the signal is not very good. Let's talk about it when we get back."
