Chapter 6343: Each Has Its Own Tricks

Cook's words are not unkind.

All pressure is on Nokia. As long as Nokia agrees to recycle it, Apple will recycle it. It has to be said that Cook is indeed a marketing genius and knows how to turn the situation around in adversity.

Today's Nokia has long since sunk. Although its low-end feature phones are still selling well, low-end feature phones don't make money. Even if they do, the profits are very slim. As long as a high-end phone makes a mistake, it can The little money you have earned from a low-end machine in the past few years will be swallowed up by it.

Nokia, on the dawn of the smartphone era, fell behind. Although it is now cooperating with Microsoft, the 'winphone' mobile phone it launched has encountered negative reviews. No one wants to buy it except the belief of die-hard fans.

Why? Simple and poor user experience.

Today's mobile phones are not the same as before. Users need to adapt to mobile phones. Now mobile phones adapt to users. This can be said to represent the concepts of two eras.

All previous products required users to adapt and get used to them. But now, I'm sorry, if you still hold this concept to manufacture products and let customers adapt to your products, then you will inevitably be eliminated and abandoned by the market.

Nokia President Kallasvuo looked solemn and angry. Originally, Lin Feng's move to talk about "recycling technological products is a corporate social responsibility" made Nokia feel like it was standing in the crater of a volcano.

As a result, Apple, as another mobile phone giant, has added fuel to the fire and put all the pressure on Nokia. Do you think there is anyone worse than Cook?

This guy is too bad! Is there anyone like you who is a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist? We are all in the same boat now and have a common enemy. Is it appropriate for you to push Nokia into a pit of fire like this?

Kallasvuo looked depressed! But what's even more depressing is that he now has to make a choice. Nokia has no retreat. Originally, the market sales performance was poor, the company had been losing money, and even the headquarters building representing Nokia in Finland and the headquarters building representing the spirit of Nokia was sold.

The money sold is to raise operating funds for the company. But now, the so-called "winphone" from the new mobile phone "Microsoft" has been tepid. It is said to be dead, but it will not die. It is said to be alive, but it cannot survive.

Now something like this happens again, do you think you are annoyed or not?

"Due to Apple's unkindness, we are now the target of public criticism. We have only two options: One, agree to the old phone exchange service! However, this will cause significant pressure on our liquidity.

And we also need warehouses to store these old mobile phones, and we sold a total of about 1.2 billion mobile phones in the past. Assuming that only 50% of people come to redeem them, that is 600 million units. We do not have such a large local reserve and will destroy them. " Kallasvuo sighed.

It’s hard to turn around a big business! That's the truth.

The company directors also had no reaction to this choice. It is impossible for Nokia to make such a choice. That is asking for death.

"Second, we don't agree. If we don't agree, our mobile phone market share will be even lower. In the smartphone market, we have lost the opportunity, and at present, we can't see the bright side yet!" Kallasvuo Kallasvuo wry smile.

"President Kallasvuo, what is your solution to this situation?" the board of directors asked. They are not here to hear complaints, but to know solutions.

"I tend not to agree! We have no conditions to agree. No mobile phone brand, as long as the mobile phone manufacturer has survived in this market for more than 10 years, will not agree. Because that is a dead end." Kallasvuo said with hatred, "So no Yes, we have two options. First, we stay put and wait and see what happens. After all, we only have 4 days left to acquire Apple. We will wait four days to see how things go. If there is a trade-in activity, he may be beaten to death. I believe that many mobile phone manufacturers are already preparing to support Lin Feng to death. We can also cooperate with other mobile phone manufacturers to support him to death! This is our only way to survive."

The board of directors showed hope.

You, Lin Feng, have forced everyone to have no way out, so naturally, everyone will not just surrender. With so many mobile phones on the market now, everyone will support you to death!

"However, this method has a drawback, that is, our silence will destroy our market reputation. Even if Lin Feng cannot survive, we may not be able to make a comeback. After all, the credibility is gone and there are so many competitors. These It's not good for us. And our competitors, such as Apple and Samsung, will reap the biggest fruits of defeating Lin Feng," Kallasvuo said with a ferocious look on his face.

The board fell silent.

"What's another way?" the board asked.

"Another way is to maintain the credibility of our company. We don't have to respond to this matter, but there must be the most appropriate reason!" Kallasvuo showed a painful and entangled look on his face.

"A suitable reason? What reason?" the board asked again.

"Nokia has no time to answer this question. For example, our major personnel changes or huge changes in the company have caused us to be temporarily unable to respond to this 'replacement activity.'" Kallasvuo said in a low tone, "And these two methods, one, I Take the blame and resign; secondly, sell the company completely to Microsoft! This way, no matter which one, it can be postponed for a few days."

After saying this, Kallasvuo felt very heavy in his heart. He had guessed what choice the board might make, but he hoped that the board would not make a decision so quickly. At least, a little delay.

Unfortunately, the capital market is always cruel. Profits come first!

The board of directors had almost no consideration.

"President Kallasvuo, you have made great contributions to the company and are willing to sacrifice yourself. We thank you on behalf of all shareholders and employees of the company! Next, we will announce this matter. Of course, don't worry, we will definitely satisfy you with the relevant compensation!" The board of directors made a decision.

Kallasvuo smiled bitterly. Well, this is the capital market, I should be used to it.

"I will announce this matter! I hope to help Nokia out of trouble!" Kallasvuo returned to normal, nodded to many directors, and walked out of the conference room door.

Soon, Nokia had shocking news-Nokia President Kallasvuo resigned because of poor management, which led to Nokia's performance not meeting expectations.

Subsequently, the Nokia board of directors announced that it would decide on the next president in the near future. Regarding the "corporate social responsibility" raised by Lin Feng, an answer will be given after the new president takes office! At the same time, he expressed his appreciation and admiration for Lin Feng's "trade-in activity". Nokia will carefully study this proposal after the new president takes office.

Cruel enough! Cook shook his head after hearing the news. In order to avoid the social responsibility issue this time, Nokia even fired the president. But it is also the lowest cost way to avoid social responsibility.

But Apple is not afraid. Apple has already issued a notice. Whatever Nokia does, Apple will do. We Apple abide by market rules and take the overall situation into consideration. So, since Nokia has adopted the replacement of the president to delay time, then Apple should do the same.

Of course, for Apple, there is another problem, that is, facing the acquisition issue of Lin Feng. This is the key! Lin Feng wants to acquire Apple. At present, Apple's stock price has continued to fall because of the upcoming listing of the "Nuwa" mobile phone and Lin Feng's "trade-in activity".

At present, due to the dispersion of "Apple" shares, Lin Feng owns 10% of "Apple", and Ellison still has 11.2%, and the rest of the Fidelity Fund is about 28%, and the rest are some shareholders holding shares of varying sizes. Lin Feng has the innate conditions to acquire. He is not doing it randomly.

However, he has not taken any action so far. Is he going to make a big acquisition on the last day? Cook lowered his head. He was a little confused about this matter.

Of course, although he is the president, he is mainly responsible for product manufacturing, production, and marketing. As for the company being acquired, that is the board of directors' business. He can't do anything. He can only do so much.

Moreover, Cook is full of resentment for Apple's driving Jobs away again. Without Jobs, there would be no Apple, but these evil capitalists, look at what they have done. They are just a bunch of bastards!

At this moment, on the other side, Lin Feng's major companies are constantly calculating costs. Lin Feng's "trade-in plan" is too crazy. This is unprecedented and unprecedented. No company dares to promise a trade-in activity like Lin Feng. Because, after the products are sold, they have to be recycled, and the cost is too high.

Although companies have such social responsibilities to avoid pollution to nature. But there is no obligation to do so. Because this is everyone's responsibility, not just the company. Otherwise, how can the company operate? The things sold have to be recycled by themselves in the end. There is no need to start a business, it is too troublesome.

But Lin Feng proposed it, so everyone has to do it.

"Are you going too far?" Liu Yingying asked.

Now 'Dingdang.com' does not have any pressure in this regard. After all, 'Dingdang.com' is just an intermediary platform, which only provides a trading platform for merchants and customers, and provides trade dispute arbitration services for both parties. She thinks Lin Feng's move is a bit too much!

"Too much? Not too much! This is our social responsibility and obligation! It's just that no one has done it before! What's more, this industry needs to be reorganized!" Lin Feng said lightly, "Monopoly, I must monopolize! Nuwa must monopolize everything!" (To be continued.)
