Chapter 763 The two benefits
ps: ps: Thank you book friend Ning Gongzi ai Hua Buyi for your constant rewards.If you ask for a monthly pass, you will be thrown away by the previous ones!
I have to say that the price offered by Nokia this time is very sincere.If Fang Mingyuan purchased [-]% of the shares in his own name, he would become the largest individual shareholder of Nokia.If it is purchased in the name of the company, it will also become the fourth or fifth largest shareholder of Nokia Corporation.Coupled with his status as the executive chairman, his voice in Nokia's board of directors can be said to be weaker than Ollila's.
"The board of directors has agreed that you can buy these shares at a [-]% discount, and, as a non-executive chairman, the director can act as the chairman if the chairman is unable to perform his duties. If the chairman resigns , then the non-executive chairman is the candidate for the chairman." Ollila said in a deep voice, "Fang, how about it, come back, I and the company need you!"
Olila looked at Fang Mingyuan expectantly. He sincerely hoped that Fang Mingyuan would agree.After this year, despite his efforts, under the overall international economic environment, Nokia's performance is still going from bad to worse, especially the company's market price in the global stock market has been halved, which makes many shareholders have feelings for Orillia. Dissatisfied.Ollila knew that if these shareholders knew that Fang Mingyuan had reminded him when he sold the shares in Nokia, the voice of ousting him from the stage would be louder in the general meeting of shareholders.
This is a year of bad luck for Nokia. Although the fourth quarter has not yet ended, Orillia already knows that compared with the same period last year, Nokia's performance this year, whether it is growth rate, profit margin or total profit , have declined to some extent.
On the other hand, Fang Mingyuan, in [-].But it was his glorious year!Not only the companies under his name have achieved remarkable performance, but also established new companies one after another.In particular, the emergence of Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, and Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company amazed Ollila, who had been paying attention to him.
It is also because the contrast between the two is so striking that the members of the company's board of directors hope that Fang Mingyuan can become the company's non-executive chairman. Firstly, they want to "borrow" Fang Mingyuan's extraordinary business talent for the future development of Nokia. Finding a clear path and being prepared for danger in times of peace can be said to be the qualities that every successful businessman must have.Nokia Corporation has come to this day.It has a history of hundreds of years, and it has been on the verge of bankruptcy several times, so shareholders have a strong sense of crisis.
Secondly, he wanted to use Fang Mingyuan's prominent momentum this year to change the world's perception of Nokia.Let Nokia get rid of the predicament of continuous decline in performance.
The third is to use Fang Mingyuan to strengthen the company's connection with the Huaxia government leadership and further expand cooperation with Huaxia enterprises.Today, China's mobile phone market has become one of the main battlegrounds for several major mobile phone manufacturers in the world.It can even be said that whoever wins the China market, where the number of mobile phone ownership is growing rapidly, will be able to share the most lucrative profit in the world mobile phone market.Nokia not only has cooperation projects with Fangjia in China, but also cooperation projects with other companies.In 25, the value of Nokia's products exported from China exceeded [-] billion euros, making it the largest foreign exporter in China in the mobile phone industry.
By purchasing at a 30% discount, Fang Mingyuan could save more than one billion dollars.This benefit is not insignificant, and.It was beyond Fang Mingyuan's expectation that Nokia could give Fang Mingyuan, a young man who had never even turned [-], the position of non-executive chairman such a large amount of authority.
Fang Mingyuan stayed for a long time before replying: "Yorma, it's not like you don't know that I am also the chairman of Japan's sogo0 Co., Ltd. group company, as well as the president of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Hong Kong Guo's Shipping Group Company I’m so busy with my job, I’m so busy that I don’t have enough energy to take care of Nokia’s business.” Although he is also a Nokia company, it’s a very important part of such a company with a great reputation in the industry and in the world’s business circles. For many successful people, the executive chairman is undoubtedly a step up in their careers, but to be honest, this aura does not have much effect on Fang Mingyuan.
"I don't think this is a problem. Today's technology is so advanced that even if you are not in Europe, you can still attend the board meeting. Moreover, the board has considered your actual situation, so it has no plan to arrange specific responsibilities for you. Of course, if you are willing to take charge of a share of company affairs, we also welcome it." Ollila said, "More often, you just need to help us check the general direction of the company's development and talk about it. Your opinion is fine."
Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yorma, to be honest, your invitation surprised me a bit, so I have to think about it carefully and give you an answer after a while, how about it?"
"Of course there is no problem! The door of the board of directors will always be open for you!" Ollila laughed loudly, and then said to Fang Mingyuan in a low voice, "Fang, my personal opinion is that if you accept this position, in the future, Fang Mingyuan will treat you very well." It is definitely a boost for our business to expand to Europe!"
Fang Mingyuan nodded. Ollila is definitely not exaggerating. Nokia has a huge influence in Finland, and now it has almost become a banner of Finland in the world. Some people even say that if Jorma Ollila is willing to compete with Finland The presidency is one hundred percent successful!And Finland is the seventh largest country in Europe. Due to its developed economy and its location in Northern Europe, it also has an influence that cannot be underestimated in the European economic circle.Today, with the deepening of European integration, as long as foreign companies can take root in one of the European countries, their products can enjoy various benefits within the EU.If Fang Mingyuan can become the number two person on Nokia's board of directors, it will greatly promote the development of the Finnish market for the companies under the Fang family.
"I understand!" Fang Mingyuan patted Ollila on the shoulder and said, "Whether I accept it or not in the end, I thank you in advance!" It was able to make Ollila agree to set up a non-executive chairman, and the authority is almost equivalent to that of the vice chairman. This is not an easy task.Not many of these successful people like others to dictate to them.
Olila also understood that it was impossible for Fang Mingyuan to make a decision on such a big matter on the spot, and if he didn't refuse, it meant that everything had hope.Because of his contacts over the years, he understood that Fang Mingyuan is not the kind of person who likes to take power, and he doesn't like to take on specific management positions, and if you really want him to do it, I'm afraid the effect will not be very good good.Therefore, what he is better at is finding out the general direction for the company's development. As for the specific work, it is best left to other people.Therefore, if Fang Mingyuan takes over this position, it is unlikely to threaten his own status, because Fang Mingyuan himself will not ask for trouble to become the chairman of Nokia.He sincerely hoped that Fang Mingyuan could take over as the non-executive chairman of Nokia.
"Fang, are you okay this time in Brazil?" Ollila changed the subject on his own initiative.
"Well, it's nothing. By the way, I haven't thanked you for your support to me at that time." Fang Mingyuan smiled.After the Bahia state special police incident, Ollila also protested to the Brazilian government and the Bahia state government as the chairman and CEO of Nokia Corporation.
"Hehe, it's nothing." Ollila said.In fact, it was precisely this incident that made Nokia's shareholders aware of Fang Mingyuan's influence in the international community. So many social celebrities stood up to condemn the Brazilian government and the Bahia state government, so they made up their minds , invited Fang Mingyuan to join the board of directors of Nokia Corporation.
"I heard that you have established a new airline in Hong Kong? Do you have any plans to open up routes to Finland? We can help you. Do you remember that the director of the board of directors, Mannerheim, is also a director of Finnair .” Ollila said.
"Director Mannerheim? The short and fat director?" Fang Mingyuan thought for a moment before asking.Although the directors of Nokia have met a few times, except for Ollila who is more familiar, the others can only be said to be casual acquaintances.
"Well, that's him!" Ollila nodded and said, "Your memory is really good! But, you can't say that in front of him. He hates people saying that he is short and fat."
Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "The company has no plans to open European routes yet. The routes to Asia, America, and Oceania alone have kept the company busy for a while. Well, when I plan to open European routes, I will definitely ask you for help. "
A smile appeared on Olila's face, and he patted Fang Mingyuan's shoulder and said, "You have been in the limelight this year. How many industries has your Fang family already spanned? You even have the air transportation industry." Own company!" Nokia has also operated in this way before, but it is a pity that it almost brought down Nokia in the end.If the strong man Ollila hadn't broken his wrist at that time and blatantly cut down all industries unrelated to mobile phones, I am afraid there would be no Nokia today.Ollila also understands the reason not to put all eggs in one basket, but although Nokia has become a leader in the industry today, no one has proposed diversification.
