Chapter six hundred and eighty seventh several wrestling
Regarding Nokia, Li Guangyu made a big mistake because he focused on Motorola from the beginning, and because the popular mobile phone in Hong Kong in his previous life was produced by Motorola, and Nokia was the first mathematical mobile phone in 1992.
The telephone was just beginning to take off.
This has led Li Guangyu to always believe that Nokia mobile phones appeared much later than Motorola, and Nokia is not as high-profile as Motorola. They have developed the first mobile phone this year, but it has not been launched yet. They have not
Carry out large-scale publicity.
In addition, Li Guangyu and Du Yuemei did not pay too much attention to it, so they were not too clear about it. As a result, Qin Yu and He Jin learned about it after consulting with Nokia President Doyle Nowovich after they went to Nokia City in Finland.
This news.
This directly disrupted Li Guangyu and their plans. At first, they were planning to directly acquire all their mobile phone research and development technology. It was best to poach relevant talents. Those who are willing to go to Xiangjiang, go directly to Xiangjiang. Those who are not willing to go to Xiangjiang.
Directly enter the research laboratory of British Telecom Group to work.
Now that Nokia has developed mobile phones, and its top management attaches great importance to the mobile phone industry, it will not be easy for them to acquire these technologies.
However, what is good for the Lee Consortium is that the Finnish market is too small, and Nokia is obviously not willing to shrink the Nokia mobile phone market to such a small area. This is their opportunity.
After listening to He Jin's report on the phone, Li Guangyu said to him: "You try to negotiate a technology buyout with Nokia's senior management. If that doesn't work, negotiate technology licensing. At the same time, let them know that the current head of Motorola is
In Xiangjiang, Motorola is currently hoping to open up the Asian market, and we have broad channels here that can help them sell mobile phones."
Mobile phones are not just about mobile phones, you also need the cooperation of telecom companies. Otherwise, just having mobile phones will be useless if telecom companies in various regions do not equip signal towers and will not allow your brand of mobile phones to access the network.
Doyle Norwich is also very aware of the disadvantages of his company compared with Motorola. Their Finnish market is too small and is not at the same level as the US market. At present, they want to compete with Motorola in the US market.
Competing is simply impossible.
Look at Motorola, it has been developed for such a long time, but it is still not officially sold to the outside world. Their Lokia mobile phone cannot enter that market until Motorola mobile phones take off.
He already had a deep understanding of the Li Consortium. How could they not pay close attention to the movements of Motorola's young boss as their main rival?
The Li Group not only monopolizes the telecommunications business in Xiangjiang, but also holds 50% of the shares in the British Telecom Group. Once their company can reach a cooperation agreement with the Li Group, their mobile phones will be able to successfully enter these two markets.
Moreover, they are also aware of the influence of the Lee Group in Baodao and Southeast Asia. At the same time, the British Telecom Group can easily expand in the Commonwealth. By then, its market will cover these regions. Thinking of this huge business field, Doyle...
Norwich City were thrilled.
He also knows that he cannot be too anxious now. Since the Li Group has sent people to negotiate with him, it seems that the negotiations between the other party and Motorola are not very smooth, and he can take some initiative here.
Of course, he also knew very well that his company was likely to be a bargaining chip in the negotiations between the Lee Consortium and Motorola. After all, the Lee Consortium had been committed to cooperating with Motorola.
He is unwilling to see the Lee Group and Motorola reach a cooperation. In that case, his company will be insulated from the American and Asian markets. For a long time in the future, he may only be able to stay in the Nordic market.
The small market in Northern Europe is simply unable to support the development of the mobile phone sector. He urgently hopes that Nokia can move out of Finland and into the world, becoming a transnational company.
In this regard, Nokia needs to cooperate with the Lee Group, and Doyle Norwich is also thinking about the concessions he can make.
Bob Galvin in Xiangjiang also got the news that the top executives of the Lee Consortium went to Nokia City in Finland. This was what he saw on the Xiangjiang News. Although he did not understand Cantonese and Chinese characters, his temporary assistant did.
Jiayi TV and Xiangyu Daily reported on the visit of He Jin, Vice President of Xiangjiang Telephone Group, to Nokia City in Finland. He Jin’s status is too special among the top executives of the Li Group. She used to be Li Guangyu’s housekeeper, and her family members have been with her for generations.
They are all serving the He family. This time He Jin went to Finland in person, which shows how much Li Guangyu attaches importance to this.
Bob Galvin knows much more about Nokia than the Lee Consortium. This time he also felt great pressure. Once the Lee Consortium and Nokia reach a comprehensive cooperation agreement, Motorola will have to enter the market in the short term.
The market here is unlikely.
He knew that the reason why the media of the Li Consortium reported extensively on He Jin's trip to Logia was to put pressure on Motorola, hoping that he would make concessions on some issues so that the Li Consortium could enter the mobile phone industry.
Now that the problem is getting more and more complicated, he can only report the matter to his father Robert Galvin, hoping that the company's senior management can come up with a plan as soon as possible.
After listening to the report, Robert Galvin pondered for a while and said: "Bob, you don't need to be too anxious. This is a time to compete for patience. I believe Nokia will not give up their technology easily.
If they are used by the Li Group, they should be aware of the strength of the Li Group. Once they enter the mobile phone market, it will be difficult for our companies in Asia."
Bob said: "But Nokia is obviously more eager to enter the Asian market than we are. Their market is too small, and this mentality will make them feel that it doesn't matter if they license some technology to the Li Group. They can at least
Li’s consortium charges royalties.”
Bob Galvin is very clear about Nokia's disadvantages. Unlike his own company, which has a huge market like the United States, Nokia is located in Finland and their domestic market is limited, which is simply not enough to support their mobile phone department.
This time the Li Group came to visit, they would not miss this opportunity. Nokia is currently their biggest rival of Motorola. Every time they occupy more of the market, it means that their company loses a part of the market. Isn't it right?
I would like to see the Lee Group and Nokia reach a cooperation.
Robert is very clear that something is not good for Motorola at the moment. Their application for network access in the United States has not yet been approved, and the construction of telecommunications base stations has not yet begun. If the Li Group and Nokia reach a cooperation, with the financial resources and efficiency of the Li Group, Hong Kong
This city is likely to become the first city in the world to allow mobile phones to be commercialized.
The Li Group has never lacked funds. In an area as small as Xiangjiang, they were able to quickly establish base stations covering the entire city, allowing mobile phones to be used in all parts of the city.
Robert also knew that he needed to communicate with the senior management. The agreement between the Lee Group and Nokia would be a huge disaster for Motorola.
