1995 can be said to be the most representative year for the development of the mobile phone industry. Since the first mobile phone was launched in 1983, people did not edit the first text message until 1992. Mainland China Mobile only became popular in China in 1993, and flip phones were already released in 1995, twice the size of before.
Moreover, China has already discussed with Ericsson the introduction of the first GSM phone into the country, and Guangzhou has started to open the GSM network.
In the construction of China's 2G network, under the influence of Yang Dongxu, Nokia can be said to have made great contributions, and of course it has made a lot of profits. However, in terms of mobile phone sales, like other countries in the world, it has not focused on the Chinese market.
Since Nokia sold off its traditional departments in 1990 to reduce its burden, leaving only the electronics department, it can be said that it has achieved earth-shaking changes in just four years.
Especially in the past 1994, the emergence of Nokia 2100 made it the standard for GSM digital communications in Europe. With clear sound quality, smart appearance, large-scale display and scrolling text menu, this phone has sold 20 million units.
Such a surge in sales has further stimulated the enthusiasm of all Nokia personnel, making them ready to pursue the victory and strive to kill the leader Motorola in the international market. For the time being, these two giants in the Chinese market have not paid enough attention.
Because whether it is a Chinese operating system or mobile phone text message editing. At present, the two mobile phone companies have no intention of developing Chinese. They are both paying attention to the English market and seizing international share.
This time, Yang Dongxu used his status as a shareholder to obtain the 50,000 mobile phone OEM share, and the content to be embedded was the Chinese operating system and text message editing function.
Compared with overseas telephone charges that are constantly being reduced due to constant competition, domestic telephone charges are still something that people complain about even after 2018.
Before the advent of ifi, the volume of text messages sent on mobile phones definitely surprised foreigners. Therefore, the emergence of mobile phones capable of marginalizing Chinese SMS is the beginning of the real development of the domestic mobile phone market.
I chatted with Karu in the room all night long, and both of them had a great time chatting. However, what makes Yang Dongxu a little dissatisfied is that no matter how he guides Carew, he still decides to focus on the international market in the next few years. To be precise, it is the economically developed European and American countries, and Asia's focus will only be on South Korea. , Japan and the developed places of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
There is little interest in Mainland Karu, which is the consensus of most Nokia shareholders. So at the end, Yang Dongxu, who was a little angry, directly put forward a condition. He won the power of Nokia's general agent in China at a price of 100 million yuan per year.
No matter how many mobile phones Yang Dongxu wants, Nokia will be satisfied, but these mobile phones are only sold in China and are not allowed to be sold abroad. Yang Dongxu needs to be responsible for his own profits and losses whether he can sell them.
I believe the content to be accurate is that every year Yang Dongxu needs to buy 100 million yuan of mobile phones from Nokia to sell in the country. As for whether he can sell back the cost of 100 million yuan, that is Yang Dongxu's own problem, and this country does not include Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan only in the mainland.
As for Yang Dongxu who wants to re-purchase goods after exceeding 100 million, he needs to give Nokia 10% of the profit margin, and then give him as many goods as he wants.
This profit margin may seem low, but it is actually not low at all. Because Nokia can be said to be a conscientious company, their net profit margin is generally around 17% and will rarely exceed 20%. It simply cannot be compared with those later generations of smartphones that rely on brand advantages to achieve 100% or even hundreds of smartphones.
It is precisely because of this solid quality and extraordinary price/performance ratio of ordinary mobile phones that Nokia has become the world's mobile phone overlord, so it is not unreasonable to drink and peck.
After Kalu discussed this contract with the Finnish board of directors, he rejected Yang Dongxu's idea of signing it for 20 years at once. Originally, Yang Dongxu was only signed for five years, but after several discussions, it was halved and signed for ten years.
In fact, it was only signed for ten years, not 20 years. Kalu played a big role here. Although he regarded Yang Dongxu as a friend, foreigners made a clear distinction between work and personal relationships.
After learning that Yang Dongxu was definitely a business genius who was not in line with his age, even Kalu felt that Yang Dongxu had to sign such a contract with a minimum guarantee because he was dazzled by patriotic sentiments.
But as one of the shareholders of Nokia, and also the person in charge of this trip to China, he must be responsible for the company and use the first-hand information he has to control the company.
So when he first promised Yang Dongxu that he would be an agent for five years, he felt that it was too long-term. As a shareholder who is optimistic about the mobile phone industry, he feels that it is more reasonable to sign contracts once a year. Even so, it is a bit unfair to criticize Yang Dongxu, but it is very beneficial to the company and can be adjusted according to market changes.
His request was naturally rejected by Yang Dongxu, and he called Zhou Ya directly and asked her to go to Finland to hold a shareholders' meeting. Finally, after a majority of shareholders voted, Yang Dongxu got a 10-year agency contract.
"I always have a hunch that those old guys who agreed to this contract will regret it and want to hang themselves in the future." In the hotel restaurant, Karu, who is really not used to using chopsticks, eats the ingredients in front of him with a fork and spoon.
Treat foreigners to Chinese food, and it’s just home-cooked food, not some banquet noodles. Only Yang Dongxu can do it now. Nowadays, when entertaining foreign businessmen, they usually serve Western food. They are afraid that these foreign guests will not sign the contract because they cannot eat well.
"Then I sincerely hope that your hunch will come true, because that means I will make a lot of money." Yang Dongxu smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand.
"Then you can treat me to a big dinner. I heard that China has many incredible meals. This is just an appetizer." Karu said half-jokingly, picking off the chili peppers on the diced chicken on the plate. Put it in your mouth, sucking in the cool air while picking the second one.
There is a kind of cold that you think Finland is very cold. Although a quarter of the land area is in the Arctic Circle, most Finns do not live in the Arctic Circle. In addition, due to the influence of the Atlantic warm current, Finland is better than other countries with the same latitude. The country is much warmer.
Therefore, although Finnish people also drink high-alcohol alcohol, it is only limited to some people, unlike Russia, where everyone likes to drink vodka.
Therefore, Karu was not able to adapt to the highly irritating food of chili for a while, but the biggest feature of Chinese food with chili is that the spicier it is, the more you want to eat it. Even if your lips are burning, you still can't bear to stop what you are doing. .
"Haha, definitely." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Why is a victory bought with money worthy of being so happy? Then should I kiss you?" An inappropriate voice sounded from the side. Yang Dongxu turned to look and Bai Qian's figure came into his eyes.
In fact, Bai Qian regretted it when she finished saying this. As the Queen of Hundreds, she has always been aloof, and she has never said such harsh words like now.
But she didn't know why she didn't like Yang Dongxu from the first time she saw him. The reason was not just because this man beat her brother, but because he was wary and unspeakable of hostility towards the same kind of people.
It can be said that Bai Qian has been smart since she was a child, both in terms of IQ and EQ. Otherwise, she would not have been able to learn six languages. She graduated from Oxford at the age of 20 and entered hundreds of industries as a daughter. In just three years and ten years Hundreds of industries have increased tenfold in one year.
This allowed Baijia to completely break free from economic constraints and have a more flexible political layout. It can be said that she created a business miracle in just three years.
And in an environment like Baijia that favors sons over daughters, she is in charge of all the properties of Baijia as a daughter. Although Baijia's own resources played an indispensable role in this process, you have to admit that she is indeed a person qualified to be a 'queen'.
But since returning to China, such a queen has been hearing all kinds of stories about a genius who is even smaller than her. She is a top student, and the other person is also a top student. Although the other person has not gone abroad, he seems to be a little better than her.
She is a business wizard, and the other person is simply a business godfather. Starting from scratch, according to the information currently available in China, he has assets worth no less than tens of billions. If what she did can be called a miracle, then Yang Dongxu is a legend.
It seems that Yang Dongxu can overwhelm her in any matter, especially since this guy is only 20 years old this year. When facing Yang Dongxu, Bai Qian was like a mountaineering enthusiast who saw a higher mountain in the distance after standing on a mountain peak, so she unconsciously developed a desire to challenge and conquer.
Yang Dongxu usually seems to be as unknown as a mountain, but he is definitely not the type to be climbed and conquered by others. So when faced with Bai Qian's provocation, he could react because he was lazy, but he would never not fight back after Bai Qian made a move.
"You are crazy about money. Just kiss me and I will invest tens of millions. Are you sure you are so valuable?" Yang Dongxu looked at Bai Qian with a smile, his eyes lingering on her red lips involuntarily.
"You..." Bai Qian's face instantly turned red with anger. It was obvious that Yang Dongxu's harsh words made her feel instantly humiliated.
But when she thought about it carefully, she felt that her provocation just now was indeed too careless. After all, no matter what method Yang Dongxu used to get the Nokia mobile phone OEM order, 50,000 mobile phones were not a small amount to put there.
If it was just to win him out of anger, Yang Dongxu would not have spent tens of millions without the consequences. Then she really thought highly of this guy before.
So even if he doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit that Yang Dongxu has won such a large OEM order all at once. The main reason is because he is optimistic about the mobile phone market and mobile phone OEM, so winning over Bai Qian is just a matter of convenience. But it is this smoothness that hits people even more, making them even more humiliated and angry.
