Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

Salman and Xu Huasheng got on the plane and entered the interior of the plane. The interior layout made Xu Huasheng couldn't help but nod.

The functions are complete, the space is very large, and the decoration is very luxurious and comfortable.

Among private jets, this plane is considered large.This model of aircraft can carry up to 12 passengers and has a range of up to 7800 kilometers.

This flight is enough for Xu Huasheng to easily fly from anywhere in China to anywhere in Saudi Arabia.

Even if you fly to the United States, you can easily reach the western part of the United States from China, and you can also easily fly from China to the United Kingdom.

This plane was obviously specially customized and did not directly accommodate twelve seats.

Instead, it has been customized internally, with an independent office and a separate bedroom. This is a presidential suite in the sky.

"Your Highness, this is too precious..."

Xu Huasheng couldn't help but said.Although the price of this aircraft in this era is not as expensive as it would be a few decades later, this aircraft still costs tens of millions of dollars.Tens of millions of dollars are very valuable in this era.

"Xu, our friendship is priceless. Please accept my friendship..."

Salman said seriously. Looking at Salman's serious expression, Xu Huasheng nodded at the end.

"Then thank you for the gift, Your Highness. I like your gift very much. I hope our friendship will last forever..."

Xu Huasheng did not refuse again. It was only tens of millions of dollars. It was not a big money for Xu Huasheng, and it was not a big money for Salman either.

The two people got off the plane with smiles on their faces.

Of course, Xu Huasheng did not drive the plane away directly. Now China is very strict in protecting Xu Huasheng. This plane needs to be sent by China to conduct a comprehensive inspection. At the same time, it also needs to send professional crew members to allow Xu Huasheng to ride.

Finland, Nokia Corporation.

During this period, Nokia was in dire straits, especially in the communications department, which was like doomsday.

The great changes in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union suddenly caused Nokia's communications department to lose most of its market.

After the financial report came out some time ago, shareholders looked even more gloomy. In 1991, Nokia lost $1.02 million, which was simply fatal for Nokia in this era.

As a small company in Finland, Nokia is not very big now.Losing $[-] million a year is terrible.

So during this period, Nokia was in contact with Ericsson, hoping to package Nokia and sell it to Ericsson.

But judging from Ericsson's response now, I'm afraid there is little hope.Because Ericsson, like Nokia, is now unable to protect itself, so how can it still have the money to buy Nokia?

"President Ollila, we just received news that China's Huasheng Group wants to conduct business negotiations with our company..."

Ollila's office was pushed open, and the assistant walked in and said.

"China's Huasheng Group?"

Ollila was stunned when he heard the name. Why did he feel that the name was so familiar?

"Yes, it is China's Huasheng Group. By the way, Huasheng Group is the second largest shareholder of Wosheng Group. DVDs are products of this company, as well as air fryers and fascia guns..."

The assistant's words suddenly reminded Ollila who Huasheng Group was.

The second largest shareholder of Wo Sheng Group, the company's name frequently appeared in newspapers in the first half of the year, but at that time, this name was a tool used by European media to criticize American media.

Moreover, in Europe, air fryers and DVDs are also very popular and have become essential products for many European families.

In terms of size, scale, and financial resources, it is obvious that Huasheng Group is much more powerful than Nokia today.

Just being the second largest shareholder of Wosheng Group is extraordinary. You must know that the profitability of Wosheng Group is very high now. After the last commotion, Wosheng Group's products are selling well again, and now there are many in Europe. There are two Wosheng stores in Finland.

The shareholders of the entire Wo Sheng Group are even more powerful. Wal-Mart, Morgan, and Rockefeller are all giants.The industry's current valuation of Wo Sheng is also very high. If it goes public, it will have a market value of at least tens of billions of dollars.

"When will they arrive?"

Ollila asked quickly.

"Tomorrow afternoon, the other party said that their chairman Xu Huasheng will come in person..."

The assistant's words made Ollila grasp at straws.

Now is the most difficult time for Nokia. If Huasheng Group can inject capital or acquire Nokia, then Nokia may survive the difficulties.

Now all shareholders are not optimistic about Nokia. Although everyone believes that communication is the future, the current loss situation cannot see a bright future. In the future, we will also need to burn money. If we continue to lose money, the future may not come, so we will burn ourselves first. died.

Nokia was busy here, and Ollila immediately informed shareholders of the news.After learning the news, the major shareholders also became happy. It would be great if Huasheng Group could acquire Nokia. It is not selling to anyone. After all, Ericsson's money and Huasheng's money are the same. They can Just stop the loss.

What they are worried about now is that Huasheng Group does not want it. After all, in their perception, Chinese companies are very poor.

Amid everyone's confusion, Ollila took people to the airport in person the next afternoon.

Ollila's eyes lit up when he saw a Gulfstream IV private jet landing at the airport.

This aircraft is not cheap. People who can afford such an aircraft must have a lot of funds in their hands. Even if they cannot acquire it, they can just buy individual shares.

After the plane stopped, Ollila and others drove directly under the plane.

Xu Huasheng and his party got off the plane and saw Ollila, Xu Huasheng smiled slightly.

"Hello, President Ollila, I am Xu Huasheng, the president of Huasheng Group..."

Xu Huasheng greeted Ollila in Finnish. Ollila was surprised to hear Xu Huasheng's proficient Finnish.

"Mr. Xu, welcome to Finland..."

Ollila didn't know much about Xu Huasheng. Although he urgently asked the company to collect information yesterday, he didn't collect much, just some simple information.

But none of this is important, the next negotiation is the most important.

After coming out of the airport, the group came to Nokia headquarters.

Ollila enthusiastically introduced Nokia's business and technical strength to Xu Huasheng.

Especially when introducing their communication technology, Ollila's face was filled with pride.

"Mr. Xu, this is a mobile phone we are developing at Nokia. It uses digital communication technology. This mobile phone is completely different from traditional analog signals. This technology belongs to the future..."

At the company, Ollila took out what he thought was a big killer.The world's first mobile phone using GSM signals.Last year, the Prime Minister of Finland made the world's first GSM phone call.

Now this technology is Nokia's biggest trump card, and today Ollila took out this trump card and took out the prototype. Looking at this prototype, Xu Huasheng laughed, because this prototype is the Nokia 1011 mobile phone that made Nokia famous. .
