Back to 1988

Chapter 776 One billion?
Lu Feng just let go of his hand when he heard this, and said to everyone: "Let me introduce, this is the general manager of the marketing department of the communication company, Mi Sidu, and this is Steve Kevin, the senior executive president of the international market!"

After some courtesies, he sat down. Lu Feng ordered a few more dishes. The waiter brought him a goblet and gave him a glass of red wine. There was a waiter standing behind everyone, serving one-on-one.

Ericsson's Cai Tianlun is considered the most prestigious among these people, and he also saved up this game. First, he had a drink with Lu Feng, and said: "Since Mr. Lu is here, let's chat again if we have something to say, just now we In one piece, I talked about the communication market in the mainland market in the next few years. The current market rate of GS/M mobile terminal communication equipment is less than [-]%. We think this area is very developed. Ten years later, with economic development, people's lives will improve. , we think that the battlefield rate can be [-]%. If it is in an ordinary country, [-]% is really a market that cannot be expanded, but here is different. Now there are [-] billion people, even if the population does not increase, [-] Five is [-] million people."

The people present nodded in agreement when they heard this figure. The huge market potential of [-] million is an incremental market that no international company dare to ignore. It is far more cost-effective than investing in some small countries.

"The question now is how to allocate such a large incremental market in the future?" Cai Tianlun looked around at the crowd and said, "Motorola is too strong, not only in mainland China, but also in all parts of the world. , there is a saying that everything is born when a whale falls, and only when this whale dies can other people have a way out."

"I still say the same thing!" Fukuda said in Fuso-like English: "In terms of pagers, Toshiba has accumulated technology, but it can't open up the market. In the field of mobile phones, we will increase R&D investment this year. Therefore, I think powerful companies such as Ericsson and Nokia will concentrate on applying for network access this year, focusing on their mobile phone business."

The people present chattered, everyone really gathered here from all over the world, and there was only one goal, to eat Motorola's market.

Lu Feng could foresee that once Motorola was eaten away, it would no longer be possible for everyone present to sit at the same table to eat.

Everyone here represents a large international technology company. Jiafeng Electronics behind Lu Feng is not the weakest. Being able to get the ticket for this dinner table represents a kind of strength. The reason for Feng's arrival is to go to the poker table first, regardless of how bad the cards in his hand are!

Elmi sat there and seldom spoke. Hearing how much the company behind them would invest in R&D and marketing, the beauty could only smile helplessly.

That's right, Nokia is the smallest company on this table. It is a Finnish company founded in 1865. It was originally a logging and paper-based company. After a century of development, it has electronic research and development, semiconductors, and chemicals. , rubber, pharmaceuticals.A large global group integrating natural gas and even the military.

However, big companies may not die. In the early 90s, major companies under its umbrella had financial difficulties one after another. A chain reaction occurred in a few years, and they fell down like dominoes. Sold all companies.

At this moment, Nokia is on the verge of bankruptcy. No one here would have thought that it would start to improve in 1995, and then it would soar into the sky like a rocket, ruling the mobile phone industry around the world for [-] years. The era of computers has come to an end. When a whale falls, another whale appears.

The boastful Fukuda is behind Toshiba. The mobile phone business was not listed until 2002. It was killed in 2007 and withdrew from the stage of history. As for Ericsson, it was suppressed by the market from the beginning to the end. Help people get together and think about Motorola, and they also understand what they are capable of.

Panasonic’s mobile phone was launched in 1999, and it was not very popular. It was hit on the ground by PHS and Bird. In the field of communication in the 90s, Motorola was the dominant company. Two thousand years later, Nokia ruled and entered the mainland in 2002. Samsung is second in the market, and there are also a large number of domestic miscellaneous brand machines!
Lu Feng wanted to speak several times, but the three of them refused to give him a chance, which made him a little annoyed, as if the three of them had discussed it, and Lu Feng and Alma would just carry it out.

The three chatted about the same, and came up with a preliminary plan. They would not attack each other in the market, and they would not squeeze each other in terms of pricing. They would try their best to fight against Motorola's pricing, and they would advance and retreat together in marketing.

Lu Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this set of plans, such a basic routine, any small manager in the marketing department can settle it down.

"Is there anything Mr. Lu wants to say?" Futian asked while looking at Lu Feng.

"I just listened to the market plan discussed by several people, which opened my eyes and was very shocking. However, I feel that the market is a part, and R&D is the foundation. Since everyone has a common opponent, it is better to unite. I can Let me put a word here, if you cooperate with Jiafeng Electronics in research and development, I will kill Motorola in the mainland market!" Lu Feng said to everyone.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help laughing, even Elmi, who was sitting next to Lu Feng, couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Lu Feng's words are like a fledgling young man telling a general, give me three thousand elite soldiers, and they will destroy the Kingdom of Jin and bring back the Second Emperor.

"Mr. Lu, do you know how big Motorola is?" Fukuda sneered and said with disdain: "Let me ask you, do you know how many employees it has around the world?"

"I haven't understood this before." Lu Feng said frankly.

"Motorola has more than one million employees worldwide, has established more than [-] factories in [-] countries and regions, and has a research and development team of [-] people. It is the inventor of mobile phones and one of the important participants in the global communication standard GS/M. " Futian was staring at Lu Feng and said with disdain; "Do you know now? Is a small role like Jiafeng Electronics enough for others to see?"

Cai Tianlun couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's true that ignorant people are fearless. I've heard that Boss Lu's way of making money is quite strange. Seeing him today is a proof."

"Since you don't believe me, let's make a bet. If Jiaxun's pager can suppress Motorola in terms of sales, how about we try to cooperate in research and development?" Lu Feng continued to face the three of them. Said.

Futian was humming, he didn't like Lu Feng originally, such a small company deserved to sit with them for dinner, that's why Cai Tianlun insisted on calling him over.

For the three of them, it was not a matter of betting or not, but that they had no interest in an impossible thing.

"Mr. Lu, don't feel that you are sitting here and think that everyone is similar. Many companies present have a history of hundreds of years, and it is not possible to catch up in a short time. Of course, I also hope that Mr. Lu will be more successful in the market." Contribute." Cai Tianlun looked at Lu Feng and said more reservedly, "When Motorola withdraws, the incremental market in the future will be freed up a little bit, and it will be enough for Jiafeng Electronics, are you right?"

The people present were all decent people, and what they said was equivalent to cursing. Lu Feng's expression was not good, and he said, "Then why did you ask me to come? Do you need someone to accompany you to eat?"

The person in charge of Panasonic said: "Isn't this also a chance for you to make friends with us!"

"Hehehe, I like this sentence. Once upon a time, I said that to others. You are crazy enough, and you have the capital to be crazy. I didn't come here for you, I came here for Elmi. Lu Feng looked at Elmi next to him and said, "I was very busy today and didn't want to come. I just came here when I heard you were here."

Elmi smiled awkwardly. She was a young man, and both the company behind her and her own qualifications were the most junior, so she didn't say much all night.

"Thank you Mr. Lu for your love."

"You're welcome, give me your hand!" Lu Feng put his hand on the table, motioning for Elmi to put his hand on his own.

The atmosphere at the scene started to feel wrong. Several old men were staring at Lu Feng and their eyes were about to burst into flames. It could be seen that they were really angry. Elmi's face turned red and she was a little at a loss.

Kevin poked Lu Feng quietly, reminding him that he is almost ready, if he doesn't speak well, make a fuss, but don't make too much noise.

Elmi put her hand on Lu Feng's hand stiffly, and Lu Feng grabbed her little hand and said to the three of them: "I tell you this, Jiafeng Electronics and Nokia can sweep the global mobile phone industry, do you believe it? "

The audience roared with laughter, a little-known small company and an old company that was about to go bankrupt, Lu Feng told them a joke solidly.

Elmi withdrew her hand and said, "For Nokia, the most important thing now is to face the difficulties, get out of the bankruptcy crisis, and open up new markets."

"I just want to know how much Nokia is worth now?" Lu Feng turned to look at Elmi, as if he wanted to buy Nokia.

"A billion or so!"

"More than a billion?" Lu Feng was excited. It was more than a billion, and he wanted to buy it even if he sold everything.

Elmi felt that he might have misunderstood, and hurriedly added: "U.S. dollars!"

These words were like pouring cold water on Lu Feng's head, and most of the fire in his heart was extinguished, but the price was still very good, Lu Feng even thought in his heart, should he go to Xiangjiang and ask the old man for some money.

But if I do a rough calculation in my heart, it's already more than [-] billion, and Mr. Feng may not be able to spend this money.

Fukuda snorted, he could see that this young man has no strength, but he has a lot of ideas, he relies on his own imagination all day long, does he really think that the earth revolves around him?
