    Nokia's board of directors is indeed battered during this time.

    It can be said that there are chasing soldiers behind and rivers ahead, there is no way to retreat, and there is no way to advance.

    The pursuit is of course the huge debt owed by Nokia in order to develop the Symbian system and launch smartphones based on the Symbian system.

    When Symbian was selling well at the beginning, Nokia believed that Symbian was its future, so it concentrated all its firepower, worked hard to develop the Symbian system, and vigorously launched different models of Symbian mobile phones.

    So at that time, Nokia recruited workers in a large number of construction factories.  Even high-tech experimental centers have been established in different countries, and a large number of mobile phone talents have been recruited, hoping to make Symbian mobile phones bigger and stronger.

    Who knows that Symbian mobile phones did not bring Nokia a strong era, but brought Nokia directly into the pit.

    Blind expansion caused Nokia to owe huge debts.

    The river ahead is of course the Android and iOS camps.

    The android and ios camps have achieved unexpected success in the past two years.

    If we say that Nokia spent a huge amount of money, played overwhelming advertisements, and launched a large number of Symbian mobile phones, so that consumers around the world can clearly understand what the difference between smartphones and feature phones is.

    Then Android and ios tell consumers that if you want to use a smartphone, you must buy Android or ios.

    Therefore, the smartphone concept that Nokia has worked so hard to launch is actually a wedding dress for others.

    While the board of directors is busy paying off debts, they generally try to make money.

    In the end, the strong pressure caused Nokia's board of directors and all shareholders to collapse, and decided to sell Nokia's mobile phone business in a package.

    At the beginning, Nokia's board of directors hired a professional organization to evaluate Nokia's mobile phone business.

    The final valuation is about 10 billion meters.

    This 10 billion meter knife includes all industries of Nokia's mobile phone business, including R&D department, self-owned production plant, machinery and equipment, land ownership, and even intellectual property technology and so on.

    But valuation is one thing, and it's another thing if you estimate the value and whether you can sell it.

    Just like a jadeite seller, he valued his jadeite at 10 billion, but after all, someone will buy it, and the 10 billion can be counted.

    At present, Nokia is a hot potato for the entire mobile phone industry.

    Whoever takes over is finished.

    Therefore, Nokia's board of directors tried every means to negotiate a cooperation with Microsoft, and it would be quite good to sell itself for 7 billion meters.

    I don't know that Microsoft, which has always had a good cooperative relationship with Nokia and jointly launched the windowsphone system, is not interested in Nokia.

    Microsoft casually paid a price of 5.5 billion meters and paid in installments, and there were a lot of equity transactions.

    This makes Nokia very uncomfortable, because cooperation with Microsoft cannot solve the foreign debt owed by Nokia's mobile phone business.

    And Microsoft's attitude is that I just gave you a price at random. If you agree to this price, then we will continue to negotiate after we come down. The negotiation conditions will definitely be quite harsh, and we can't afford to wait for such a time to drop the price.

    What makes Nokia's executives very headache is the technology companies or capitals all over the world. Except for Microsoft's willingness to reluctantly accept Nokia's mobile phone business unit, no capital or technology company is willing to take over.

    What used to be a fragrant steamed bun in the mobile phone industry is now like a piece of fetid stool, and everyone keeps away from it.

    Just when Nokia's top executives were having a headache, they couldn't think of a way, and they were preparing to default on their debts.

    CEO Kevinson actually brought a super heavy good news.

    Kevinson reported to the board of directors: "Changtian Technology is willing to acquire Nokia's entire mobile phone business for 6 billion dollars in cash."

    After Kevinson reported the situation, the entire conference room was silent.

    The first reaction of all the directors on the board of directors is to not believe it.

    "Mr. Kevinson, are you sure that Changtian Technology is willing to buy our mobile phone business for 6 billion dollars in cash?"

    "You should know that when we approached Changtian Technology for cooperation, we were rejected by Changtian Technology."

    After a director raised such a question, many directors asked questions one after another.

    "The cash of 6 billion meters is not a small number."

    "Is this news true?"

    In the entire Nokia system, Kevinson is not actually considered a senior figure.nbsp; Moreover, Changtian Technology has reached an agreement with Nokia, Changtian Technology can unconditionally dismiss these employees within three months, and Nokia head office will deal with the aftermath.

    Chen Xiao said to Wang Xiang: "Retain employees in key positions. The so-called key positions are R&D personnel in important R&D centers and technical personnel in factories."

    Chen Xiao set another number for Wang Xiang, "The total number of people should not exceed 500."

    "Sales channel personnel can be transferred to a third-party platform company for management, but the sales channel must be retained."

    After Wang Xiang heard what Chen Xiao said, he was shocked.

    No more than 500 people.

    That is to say, some overseas factories may only leave two or three managers and dismiss all the workers.

    But Wang Xiang immediately understood Chen Xiao's intentions.

    The reason why Changtian Technology acquired Nokia was that it was not interested in the so-called fixed assets or technical personnel in Nokia's hands.

    What is needed is a permanent key to enter the European market.

    As long as the company's name is still Nokia, as long as the management is still white-skinned and blue-eyed.

    Then the resistance of Changtian Technology to enter the European market will be greatly weakened.

    Chen Xiao announced another most important thing.

    "After the completion of the acquisition, Nokia Communications Technology Co., Ltd. was established and Simpson was appointed as CEO."

    "All Nokia's logos and logos remain the same.?
