Chapter 1244 A Fortress Is Always Breached From Within
Nokia, the telecommunications giant, will eventually fall.
This is not only difficult for Margaret, an insider, to accept, but also for outsiders like Gu Xueli to agree.
So when Margaret left without saying a word, Gu Xueli couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao Tao, I'm afraid a strong opponent like Nokia won't collapse so easily, right?"
"...In this case, it seems unnecessary for you to encircle and suppress them from both the chip and system aspects." Gu Xueli's idea was more moderate, "After all, harmony makes money."
Although he did not agree with this statement in his heart, Wu Tao did not show it in his mouth, "Grandpa, Nokia has grown to its current scale. I am afraid that it cannot be defeated by the outside world or opponents."
Gu Xueli didn't think too much, he just felt recognized and hummed happily.
On the contrary, bystanders Tan Xiaofei and Xu Sheng looked at Wu Tao in astonishment, and the same voice-over sounded in their hearts: Boss, when you say this, don't you want to be responsible for Ericsson and Motorola?
Aren’t these two old brands and old rivals in the mobile phone industry defeated by the mobile phone products you launched?
I really feel wronged for these two old mobile phone manufacturers...
However, Wu Tao ignored their surprise and continued: "As the saying goes, the strongest fortress is often breached from within. So if the Nokia mobile phone brand really collapses one day, there must be internal problems. "
"...For example, the positioning of the product is biased, the choice of mobile phone chips, and the choice of mobile phone operation chest, etc." Speaking of this, Wu Tao seemed to have the intention to stop at it, "Anyway, if they continue to choose ARM chips, they may even switch to PALM I have no problem with the system."
Gu Xueli felt very much in agreement and said: "That's what it means. The pattern must be grand and the vision must be long-term."
Xu Sheng, an engineering man, was a typical upright man. He ignored Tan Xiaofei's eyes and asked bluntly: "Boss, what you said doesn't mean that if Nokia does not continue to use ARM chips, it should not use PALM." Will the system and ecology collapse sooner or later?”
Gu Xueli also came to his senses.
Wu Tao denied it flatly: "Did I? You are overthinking it, Director Xu."
Then Tan Xiaofei also followed up with a decisive blow, "That's right, Director Xu, you really are overthinking."
"Obviously..." Xu Sheng was just about to mumble when he was kicked back in the calf.
After lunch, when I returned to the suite, I caught up with Liu Ruoxi and the others.
Tan Xiaofei stepped forward to greet him and showed off with a proud look on his face: "Secretary Liu, you didn't see today that the boss shined at the 3GPP exchange conference!"
Wu Tao shook his head, said "Don't be jealous", and walked into the suite first.
The group was left talking excitedly at the door.
Xu Sheng echoed: "Yes, yes, although the boss didn't speak much at that time, he definitely had the spirit of 'pointing out the country and inspiring words', which shocked all the foreigners."
Liu Ruoxi frowned in confusion and said, "No, I remember that the boss has no plans to speak today."
"The boss was pushed to the top by someone who temporarily captured him," Tan Xiaofei explained, "but that's not the point. The point is that the content of the boss's speech was particularly exciting..."
Listening to the admiration and admiration of all the subordinates for her boss, Li Qiuwen, as a bystander, felt very complicated.
I originally thought that the one-day trip to the castle was a worthwhile trip, but I didn't expect that I missed the more exciting part of the conference.
Sure enough, when you are with the person you admire, there will be different surprises every day?
This kind of life is much more interesting when you think about it.
After chatting with Tan Xiaofei and others, Liu Ruoxi made a plan with them to go shopping in the afternoon and walked into Wu Tao's suite.
Li Qiuwen pursed her red lips and followed her into the house.
Liu Ruoxi was wondering why Li Qiuwen had followed him in. When she saw the other party entering the room, she placed the souvenir from Tony on the coffee table in front of Wu Tao and said: "Mr. Wu, this is a gift from Tony, the steward of the castle... …”
Ganqing is here to be a good boy.
Liu Ruoxi didn't point it out, but Wu Tao said without even looking at it: "Since Tony gave it to you, if you don't mind it, just take it."
These words made people feel particularly comfortable. Li Qiuwen immediately took back the souvenir with great joy, held it in front of her bulging chest, shook her head and said, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it."
Liu Ruoxi saw that the other party had no intention of going out, so she cleverly said: "Sister Wen, can you get us two cups of coffee? The boss only drinks black coffee..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Qiuwen happily interrupted: "I know, no sugar or milk!"
The suite was as warm as spring, and the two of them took off their coats, revealing their beautiful figures. In particular, Li Qiuwen's figure has become more perfect, and even her manner when preparing coffee is particularly eye-catching.
After preparing two cups of coffee, Li Qiuwen held a glass of lemonade and sat far away at the bar.
On the one hand, it can notice whether the two of them want more coffee, on the other hand, it will not affect the conversation between the two at work.
Liu Ruoxi placed both inventories in front of Wu Tao and said, "It is easy to accept this castle, but how to operate it in the most economical way is quite a headache."
"...I am thinking that since the comprehensive value of the castle is as high as 20 million pounds, is it not appropriate for the Rothschild family to pay for the subsequent salary expenses of Tony the butler and the castle maintenance staff?"
Wu Tao opened the inventory and immediately laughed, "Hey, twenty million pounds! That guy David, he really dares to brag."
"What? Is there a problem?" Liu Ruoxi asked doubtfully: "I also checked the transactions related to the castle afterwards, but because there was too little information, I couldn't judge."
Wu Tao directly pointed out the trick and said: "If these castles were really rebuilt by the Rothschild family in the early years, neither the land nor the preparations for the construction are actually worth much. I estimate that it is worth up to one million pounds. As for now How much it’s worth doesn’t depend on how much they ask for it, there’s no reference standard anyway.”
"...And the salary expenses for Tony and the castle maintenance staff are even more significant. David wants to make this favor bigger and deceive us."
Liu Ruoxi was a little surprised, but also a little doubtful, "But according to the average income level of the British, the salary of a castle maintenance team of forty or fifty people, plus various maintenance expenses, the annual cost of 2 million pounds seems very reasonable."
Wu Tao did not refute, but pointed to the inventory and said, "Let's do this. All the team members at the golf course and horse farm will be laid off, and the corresponding business will be outsourced to professional companies. The remaining fifteen or sixteen people will be stationed in the castle. enough."
After a heavy blow, the castle, which was originally a useless castle, suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye.
Liu Ruoxi jotted it down, and then heard Wu Tao continue: "You can leave this matter to Tony and tell him that his income will remain the same. In addition, the name of the castle will be changed and it will be called Tianyuan Castle."
"...It would be even better if we could find a way to use the idle castle to generate benefits to offset the wages of Tony and the others." Wu Tao thought about it and looked up to see Li Qiuwen, who often traveled between London and China. I subconsciously asked: "Is there a suitable candidate for the cabin crew chief?"
Li Qiuwen was flattered and stood up weakly: "Mr. Wu, do you think I can do it?"
