Chapter 551 Legendary Character
The light rain kept pattering down, and the group of people sat on the platform in front of the restaurant by the lake, admiring the beautiful scenery of Lake Ashi under the mist all afternoon, listening to Fang Mingyuan's talk about the non-existent things far away in the Caribbean Sea of Central America. story.This scene, even after more than ten years, Uda Guangli still vividly remembers it.
When the hands of the watch pointed to [-]:[-] pm, the light rain that had been raining for nearly three hours finally stopped.Although the entire lake area is still foggy, they can finally leave the small restaurant where they sat all afternoon.
Aso Kazuki proposed to take the ferry back to Lake Ashinoko Hotel, so that everyone can take a rest and soak in the hot spring after dinner.Naturally, everyone had no objection, so they walked to the ferry terminal again.Fang Mingyuan and the others who had just walked to the pier met a pair of acquaintances
"Why are you here?" Joseph and Agatha opened their mouths in surprise when they were stopped by Fang Mingyuan.
"I want to ask you, why are you here?" Seeing the surprised looks of the two, Fang Mingyuan said with some amusement, "Joseph, didn't you transfer back to Nokia headquarters? Why did you come to Japan again?"
Joseph spread his hands and said, "I just went back to the headquarters for training, and it wasn't because I was transferred back to the headquarters, so I came back. It just so happened that we both had a few days off, so we came to Japan for vacation."
Fang Mingyuan pulled Joseph aside, lowered his voice and said, "Joseph, to be honest, is life difficult for your Nokia Group?"
Joseph smiled wryly and said, "It's very difficult, and it's on the verge of bankruptcy." At this time, the Nokia Group had paper, communications, wood, cables, rubber, tires, pharmaceuticals, and even merged two TV factories. The wide field has caused its indigestion, and now it is in the quagmire of losses.Because of this, everyone in the Nokia Group feels a headache.As a company established in [-]s, people still have a lot of affection for it.
"Didn't you pass my words on to your boss?" Fang Mingyuan asked strangely.
Joseph spread his hands with a wry smile. He reported to the headquarters, but the headquarters obviously didn't take it seriously at all. But after thinking about it, I can understand that Huaxia District is still an undeveloped land for the Nokia Group. Not an important area.I am not an important cadre of the company, otherwise I would not send it to China, but to Japan.It is normal for the news that he sends back to the headquarters to be ignored.What's more, Kailamo, who is the CEO of Nokia Group, is not a person who is easily persuaded. When he reported to the headquarters at that time, to be honest, he didn't have much hope.
Fang Mingyuan nodded knowingly. To be honest, he didn't have much hope when he said that to Joseph. It would be a miracle if he could get in touch with Nokia's senior management. . "Oh, okay, okay, I understand. I hope you Nokia Group can be reborn from nirvana like the fire phoenix in the future."
"However, Fang, as far as I know, the president of our Nokia mobile phone company, Jorma Ollila, is attending a meeting in Japan. I don't know, are you interested in meeting him?" Joseph laughed.He and Ollila are alumni of the same university, but he once briefly mentioned Fang Mingyuan's suggestion to Ollila on the phone, and Ollila was quite interested in it at the time.
"Who?" Fang Mingyuan grabbed Joseph's wrist and said, "Say it again?"
"Ah?" Joseph was taken aback by Fang Mingyuan's behavior, "Jorma Orilla, the president of Nokia Mobile Phone Company..."
"Damn..." Fang Mingyuan was really taken aback.
Joma Orilla, this name is not familiar to the vast majority of Chinese people, far less familiar than Bill or Clinton.But in Finland in the previous life, this name was no less famous than the president of Finland. Some people even jokingly said that as long as Ollila expresses his willingness to run for president, he will definitely be able to become the president of Finland.
The world's largest mobile phone manufacturer was born in Finland, a small Nordic country. To some extent, Nokia represents Finland and the head of the Nokia Group is naturally comparable to the President of Finland.
In his previous life, Fang Mingyuan occasionally saw information about Ollila on the Internet.He is a pure Finn who studied in England.He once worked at Citibank and became a member of the Citibank Management Committee.Later, he switched to the Nokia Group and started as the vice president of the Nokia International Operations Department. It took him four or five years to take over as the president and CEO of Nokia when the company was facing the worst situation due to the Nokia Group's decision-making mistakes.
Ollila, who was ordered in a critical situation, keenly grasped the transformation trend of the mobile communication industry from analog to digital, boldly abandoned the company's traditional core business, including those departments that are still profitable, and concentrated resources on mobile communication, especially the mobile phone business .This decision, regarded as a "bet" in the eyes of many people, seems risky, but Ollila made it on the basis of analyzing the status quo and trends of the times and industrial development, and he has persisted against all opinions.Facts have proved that his choice is correct.
Ollila himself admitted frankly in the future that in order to develop the telecommunications business, the company shifted its attention to this aspect. He had to make adjustments to industries such as cables and tires that had become mature but non-core businesses of the Nokia Group at that time.
"It was a schizophrenic state. You saw potential for growth, but you had to spend a lot of time restructuring," Orilla said.
However, after undergoing painful structural adjustments, under the leadership of Ollila, the Nokia Group began to grow rapidly, creating countless "firsts" in the telecommunications industry, such as the first digital telephone of the global mobile communication network system, and then Take, for example, the first mobile phone that allowed users to change the casing.And surpassed telecom companies such as Ericsson and Motorola, and became the largest manufacturer of mobile phones in the world
It can be said that Ollila is a living legend in the international telecommunications industry
"Is he in Japan now?" Fang Mingyuan asked eagerly.
"Well, I'm in Japan to attend an international telecommunications industry conference. The reason why Agatha and I came to Japan for vacation is to wait until the conference is over and we will meet together." Joseph looked at Fang Mingyuan strangely, "Fang , do you know Ollila?" Fang Mingyuan's behavior was a bit strange, how could he react so strongly to Ollila?
Only then did Fang Mingyuan realize that he had lost his composure, and was still holding Joseph's arm and not letting go.
"I don't know, but I've heard about it a long time ago. The member of the management committee of the famous Citibank later switched to the Nokia Group." Fang Mingyuan's words made Joseph feel relieved.At the beginning, this incident was quite a sensation in the banking industry.However, he forgot that this incident only affected the banking industry in Northern and Western Europe.At that time, Huaxia had just opened its doors a little bit.
Fang Mingyuan thought in his heart that this is a rare opportunity. If he can get acquainted with Ollila, it will be of great benefit to the introduction of Nokia technology to produce domestic mobile phones in the future.Nokia will be in a predicament for quite a long time in the future. If we don't make a move at this time, it will not be so easy to reach out to the Nokia Group in the future.
However, it is not an easy task to get Ollila's approval.But... as long as there is enough time to prepare, Fang Mingyuan believes that in this world, as long as the big shots he knew in his previous life, there will always be flaws to find
"That's great, then you have to introduce Joseph to me," Fang Mingyuan said with a grin.He decided that even if he stayed in Tokyo for half a month, he must get to know Ollila, a future legend.
Just as Joseph was about to nod his head in agreement, he suddenly heard Agatha scream behind him, which made him turn his head away in fright.I saw Agatha pointing at the white man among the crowd, with a look of surprise on his face
"Hahahaha, Joseph, come here, let me introduce you to a friend." Fang Mingyuan grabbed his arm and returned to the crowd.
"Kaka...Director Cameron" When Cameron took off his sunglasses, Joseph's performance was not much better than Agatha's. If Fang Mingyuan hadn't covered his mouth in time, his voice would definitely startle many people.
"Shh... Joseph, don't you want everyone to be drowned in the sea of Japanese?" Fang Mingyuan said through gritted teeth.This buddy is too restless. Anyway, he is in his 20s or [-]s, and he has been working and living abroad for many years. Why is he still so surprised.After the two of them bluffed like this, they have already attracted the attention of the surrounding Japanese, and many people are watching here.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so surprised." Joseph immediately apologized, "Director Cameron, you, you, you... why are you here?"
"It's been a few days since the premiere in Japan, why can't James be here?" Fang Mingyuan asked strangely.
Joseph and Agatha looked at Fang Mingyuan in surprise. Judging from their address, Fang Mingyuan and Cameron looked very familiar.But... where did the friendship between the two come from?
"There are also film premieres in various European countries. Does it mean that Director Cameron doesn't have to attend?" Joseph asked.
"Haha, I won't be there. After returning from Japan, I'm planning to make a new film," Cameron said with a smile.
