Changtian Technology Jiangzhou Headquarters.
In Jiangzhou in July, the weather is still quite hot.
When Changtian Technology originally built the Jiangzhou headquarters park, it retained the original landform and some vegetation attached to the original landform, including trees and weeds, to the greatest extent possible.
Therefore, in the hot summer, the entire park is still lush and very cool.
In international news, Xia Kingdom is notorious for its bad air. Especially before and after the Olympics, the Western media tried their best to discredit Xia Kingdom.
But today, Simpson did not expect that there would be such an elegant place in the inland city of Jiangzhou.
Under the guidance of the staff, Simpson came to the teahouse deep in the bamboo forest.
The large floor-to-ceiling glass makes the ancient teahouse look very comfortable, with the romance of ancient literati.
Chen Xiao was drinking tea inside. When Simpson came over, he raised a glass to greet him.
Simpson sat down opposite Chen Xiao. A young woman in Hanfu in the tea room was brewing Chen Xiao's favorite drink, West Lake Longjing, through the steps of boiling, washing, pouring, pouring, and serving.
The emerald green tea leaves are bathing in the clear boiling spring water, which is very beautiful.
Simpson felt thirsty.
He drank the small cup of tea handed over by the Hanfu girl in one gulp, and a sweet taste spread from the tip of his tongue to the entire mouth.
Comfortable!
Simpson has always believed that Xia's tea tastes better than European tea, and even better than coffee.
With his mouth dry, Simpson drank another small glass, savoring the taste.
Chen Xiao asked: "When will Sir leave Xia Kingdom?"
Simpson himself can speak Chinese, so there is no barrier to communication between the two parties.
Simpson felt very agitated when he thought about this.
This time, although Nokia and China Mobile signed a cooperation agreement with the efforts of many parties, mobile phones cannot be sold in the name of Nokia, so the role and influence of this agreement are greatly reduced.
Simpson came out this time not as a meritorious official, but as a guilty one.
You will definitely be punished if you go back this time.
Simpson still showed a very calm smile and said: "I have booked a flight ticket for tonight."
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "I wish you a safe journey, sir."
Simpson took another sip of tea, asked the doubts in his heart, and said, "I won't mention some of the conflicts between Nokia and your company in the past."
"But this time, our cooperation with China Mobile is obviously a win-win situation. China Mobile sells Nokia mobile phones as an agent. If the sales can increase, then both Changtian Technology and Tiangong Technology will be able to increase profits greatly. .”
"Now selling Nokia's mobile phones under the name of mobile 'heart' phones has greatly weakened Nokia's brand effect, and sales are likely to fall short of expectations, which will not do any good to Changtian Technology."
Although Simpson faced the decision of returning to the head office and being punished, he was always thinking about Nokia.
Nokia's success today is inseparable from Simpson.
Several important and beneficial turning points regarding Nokia mobile phones were also made by Simpson.
Chen Xiao took a sip of tea and ate some bayberry from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
He did not answer the question, but said: "Does Mr. Simpson think there is more room for development of the Symbian system?"
This question is simply a win-win.
The most troublesome problem with Nokia mobile phones now is that the Symbian system has reached a dead end.
Because the most fatal flaw of the system is its fragmentation.
The main timely manifestation of incompatibility is that the new version cannot run the old version of the program.
That is to say, every time the Symbian system is upgraded to solve the problem of a certain mobile phone, all applications must be redesigned for the new Symbian system and are incompatible.
This greatly increases the workload of developers and limits the development of applications.
This is a problem with the underlying code of Symbian, which is an inherent flaw of Symbian that cannot be improved or modified through acquired efforts.
Another problem is that the system is fragmented, unfriendly, and has many restrictions.
This also gives developers a headache. After users use their mobile phones for a long time, there will be a lot of data redundancy, causing the mobile phones to be extremely laggy.
In the past, using a feature phone to make calls and send text messages was not laggy at all, but after switching to a Symbian phone, it was so laggy that even making a call required a restart.
These shortcomings of Symbian are very unfriendly to middle-aged and elderly people or people who are not very interested in mobile phones, making everyone stay away from Symbian mobile phones.
This is also an important reason why Saipan's global growth has stagnated.
Currently, Symbian's technical department is working hard to change these problems, but unfortunately, the progress is very slow.
Chen Xiao also quickly pointed out these fatal problems of the Saipan system.
Simpson was covered in cold sweat after hearing this.
He didn't expect that Chen Xiao would see the problems with Nokia mobile phones so clearly.
Chen Xiao said: "Mobile phones are designed to make it easier for users to communicate and communicate with the outside world, but Nokia mobile phones seem to have deviated from this original intention."
"So, I think Nokia has no future. Changtian Technology chooses not to cooperate with Nokia this time, or causes some difficulties for Nokia, which cannot change Nokia's outcome."
The expression on Simpson's face was extremely rich. He didn't know why Chen Xiao said these things to him.
Chen Xiao has given Nokia a death sentence.
Chen Xiao said: "Mr. Simpson has rich experience in the international market and has lost his talent at Nokia."
Simpson looked at Chen Xiao with some confusion.
Little did he know that Chen Xiao would stop at that point and go no further.
After dinner, Chen Xiao asked Simpson to take Simpson to Jiangzhou Airport. Before leaving, the staff gave Simpson a gift and told him that it was Mr. Chen's intention.
The gift is not big, just a box as big as a palm.
Simpson opened the box, and inside was a personal business card with Chen Xiao's personal phone number.
…
In July, as the Yanjing Olympics got closer and closer, an Olympic whirlwind swept across the country.
The roads in all major, medium and small cities in Xia Kingdom are covered with red flags, which is even more lively than during National Day or Spring Festival.
News TV stations, especially national-level news TV stations, are running Olympic special programs 24 hours a day.
Chen Xiao, who returned to Changzezhou, finished handling his official duties and lay on the sofa in the office watching TV.
Xia Guo's news TV station is broadcasting the news of the American football team's arrival at Yanjing International Airport.
In the sports world, the American Olympic football team is not famous at all. However, because the football match must precede the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the American football team is one of the first batch of overseas delegations to arrive in Yanjing.
Xia people are absolutely hospitable.
The ancients have long said that it is a pleasure to have friends from far away places.
Therefore, many media at the airport, including Xiaguo National Television, are preparing to broadcast the arrival of the American football team live.
There were even staff from the Xia Guo Organizing Committee and children wearing red scarves holding flowers and mascot Fuwa dolls in their hands, ready to give these gifts to the American team when they walked out of the arrival room.
This represents the enthusiasm of ordinary Xia people.
However, something uncomfortable happened.
The American team members who walked out of the training room were all covered tightly, even wearing PM2.5 masks.
This feeling is very uncomfortable.
It was as if these American team members had suddenly gone from a very civilized and safe country to a country full of insecurity.
This made the reporters and the public who enthusiastically welcomed the American football team uneasy.
What does this feel like?
It's like I invite you to my house for dinner, but you still think the food is unclean and you have diarrhea after eating it.
The reporters from Xia Guo TV did not expect this to happen, so they quickly switched the camera to the live broadcast room.
The anchor in the live broadcast room said without blushing: "Let's connect with our most beautiful volunteers..."
The footage of the entire American football team wearing masks only appeared for less than three seconds. The anchor believed that the three seconds should not have been seen by the audience, so he quickly changed the subject.
At the airport, the primary school students who had been waiting in the waiting room for several hours stood there at a loss.
Children have always been taught to receive every guest warmly and to show the vigor and enthusiasm of Xia people.
However, these guests from far away don't seem to like it very much.
The children didn't have so many bad thoughts, but they still happily gave away the flowers in their hands.
The American football players took the flowers in a symbolic and polite manner, without saying too much, and without any interaction with the children. They hurriedly got on the bus under the leadership of the team leader.
The children were a little embarrassed, and the smiles on their faces were frozen there as they watched the team members leave.
At the scene, some non-official Xia Guo media couldn't help it and complained directly:
"What do these people mean! What do you mean by wearing a mask!"
"If you don't like the heavy smog, go back! Why are you participating in the Olympics?"
“Isn’t it possible that these people wear masks when participating in competitions and don’t feel embarrassed?!”
It was originally a cheerful welcoming ceremony, but the atmosphere suddenly turned to a freezing point.
During this period, Western media have been reporting on the weather in Yanjing and criticizing Xia's air as being very bad. PM2.5 has been exceeding the standard, which will affect the health of athletes.
Therefore, the American media recommends that athletes must wear masks after coming to Xia Guo.
The reports in the Western media are true but not entirely true.
The fact is that in the past few decades, Xia State has indeed sacrificed the environment for economic development.
In big cities including Yanjing, environment and air pollution are indeed a big problem.
Before the Olympics, Yanjing suffered from pollution attacks for several months every year.
Dust storms in spring are superimposed with haze, as well as haze in autumn and winter.
At its most severe, visibility may be less than 10 meters.
However, in order to prepare for the Olympic Games and improve the environment, especially the air quality, Yanjing has also made a lot of sacrifices.
For example, highly polluting enterprises such as steel plants near Yanjing will be moved out.
During this period of the Olympic Games, because it was summer and because of the air management in recent years, there was no smog at all when the American football team arrived in Yanjing.
Americans wear masks as soon as they get off the plane. This is an extremely impolite behavior, disrespectful to the warm welcome of the people, and a serious provocation.
Chen Xiao was bored, and the national TV station would definitely not be able to see the later reports, so he went online.
The content was exactly as he expected.
