After a while of silence, Marcus sighed helplessly, and he was ready to compromise.

Originally, under Berezovsky's sharp tongue, he was actually more inclined to sell the telecommunications business to Qingtian.

However, after discussing with Hicks and other Nokia directors and shareholders just now, his tendencies have not narrowed, but have become more amplified.

After all, nearly two-thirds of the people present strongly agreed with selling the telecommunications business to Qingtian.

There is no way, just as Berezovsky said, if they don't think of a way to save themselves at this time and sell the telecommunications business first, once Ollila sells the traditional industries they occupy, they will definitely

It will lead to a very miserable end.

In other words, as directors and shareholders of Nokia, Ollila does not dare to go too far. The most they can do is cut off the power in their hands, rather than cancel all their income benefits.

But what about the descendants, relatives and friends behind them?

Some of them have been working for Nokia for five generations, and their positions are not high. They are at the middle and upper levels at most. Once the traditional industries are sold, what will happen to them?

Therefore, for themselves, their children, grandchildren, relatives and friends, the telecommunications business must be sold.

Not to mention, once this was done, Ollila was expelled from Nokia and he became the new chairman and president of Nokia!

In fact, it's not like they haven't thought of this method before, and they have secretly contacted some people for this purpose.

But the reality is that although Qingtian is not the only buyer of Nokia's telecom business, it is indeed the highest bidder so far.

At this moment, Marcus really felt as though he was a slave to a knife and he was a fish to flesh.

After two minutes, Marcus said tit for tat: "But the price of 1.5 billion US dollars is definitely unacceptable to us. In addition, I believe Mr. Berezovsky will not tell you the fixed price when talking about business.

Not even leaving room for bargaining for the other party..."

Berezovsky and Marcus talked in the study for about half an hour.

Judging from the two people's friendly and smiling faces when they came out, it was obvious that both of them were quite satisfied with the contract.

The contract stipulates that Qingtian will acquire Nokia's telecommunications business for US$1.6 billion.

For Marcus, if he keeps talking for half an hour, he can get an extra $100 million. No matter how you think about it, it is a good deal.

Marcus even felt quite proud of how valuable his words were now.

As for Berezovsky, Wu Maocai looked at the contract blankly, a little lost.

After a long time, Wu Maocai said in disbelief: "Goodbye, have you really negotiated this matter? Does Mr. Jiu have so much money to give to these Finns?"

He has been with Fang Chen all day long, and he has a relatively good understanding of the entire Qingtian business situation.

It is now March. Although Qingtian's revenue in the first two months has exceeded a new high, reaching 10 billion Chinese coins, the profit is almost three billion Chinese coins, more than 400 million US dollars.

But it is very difficult to pay for such an acquisition of 1.6 billion U.S. dollars. He just calculated it. Based on Qingtian's current revenue and profit, this 1.6 billion U.S. dollars is almost equivalent to Qingtian's seven to eight dollars.

Month's profit.

Even including Qingtian Oil Company, that's almost half a year's net profit.

As for the two to three billion US dollars left in Master Jiu's pocket, as well as the three billion Chinese currency loan that has not yet been approved by the little devil's mother.

Jiu Ye also said that the money was all prepared for chip companies and could not be invested in acquiring Nokia's telecommunications business.

Even the money earned by Qingtian's other branches this year, Master Jiu has ordered them not to spend too much and save as much as possible. Except for some necessary scientific research management, cost expenditures, etc., all must be brought to the head office for the purpose.

Make reserves for the construction of chip companies.

After all, according to Master Jiu, the chip company is a real bottomless pit. Even the initial investment may require at least three billion US dollars.

However, the most important thing is that when he heard Jiuye mention Nokia's telecommunications business, he was actually quite disdainful. He always thought that if Qingtian made his own mobile phones, they would not be inferior to Nokia.

Under this situation, he really didn't know what the use of Berezovsky's signing of this contract was. Where would he find the 1.6 billion US dollars to pay Marcus and the others?

"The contract has been signed. As for the US$1.6 billion, Mr. Fang doesn't have the budget. Naturally, I won't be able to find the money..."

At this point, Berezovsky changed his voice and showed a playful smile: "Besides, no one in the world stipulates that once this contract is signed, it must be implemented?"

He is not a fool, but as a mathematician from the Institute of Mathematics of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, his IQ should be considered the best in the world.

Moreover, as the Q2 level vice president of the company and the president of Qingtian Petroleum Company, he has a very good understanding of the company's situation and how much money Fang Chen has in his pocket.

How could he not know that Qingtian is unable and unable to pay such a large amount of money now?

But when will he be old enough to say goodbye?

How could he have the feeling that Wu Maocai was calling him an old turtle?

"Then haven't you been lying to them?"

After realizing the hidden meaning in Berezovsky's words, Wu Maocai was shocked and said.

"That's right. After all, what happened today was just to gain capital for negotiating with Ollila." Berezovsky said calmly.

In fact, from the beginning, he had no intention of acquiring Nokia's telecommunications business. It was just because he did not have the capital to negotiate with Ollila that he made such a show today by beating around the bush.

However, the play was not in vain and the harvest was very good.

With this Nokia telecommunications business sales contract signed with Marcus and others, he has the capital to negotiate.

Ollila had no choice but to take action and seriously consider whether it should license its mobile phone production technology to Qingtian.

If Ollila is sensible, it can be said that he will just pretend that this contract has never appeared, and then sign a Nokia mobile phone production technology licensing contract with Ollila.

If you don't know what's going on, you'll have no choice but to acquire Nokia's telecommunications business.

Although from the bottom of his heart, Fang Chen was unwilling to acquire Nokia's telecommunications business and would rather let Qingtian develop mobile phones on his own.

However, considering that US$1.6 billion can obtain all mobile phone technology, as well as a large number of mature talents and equipment.

Of course, who knows how many of these talents can be retained, but Fang Chen can still be satisfied if he only retains three melons and two dates.

However, the most important thing is that if US$1.6 billion can wipe out Nokia, the previous mobile phone king, from the world, leaving Qingtian Mobile with one less competitor in the future.

So this deal doesn't seem to be a loss.

Of course, it's best to just get authorization.

And after conducting a detailed analysis of Ollila's growth experience, family background, etc., Berezovsky felt that Ollila should not have the courage to fight to the death.

This is also the reason why he agreed to Marcus US$1.6 billion so readily.

If you don't pay, no matter how much money is written in the contract, it will only be zero.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fear of agreeing too quickly and making Marcus suspicious, or if Ollila was really in trouble, he would rather Qingtian spend money to buy Nokia's telecommunications business.

So considering the speed of the troops, the longer the delay, the more flaws are exposed, the more likely Ollila is to notice this consideration, and he can't wait to agree to it when Marcus opens his mouth.

After listening to Berezovsky's explanation, Wu Maocai couldn't help but cursed: "You are such an old man, it's such a loss."

"Old Turtle One?" Berezovsky asked suspiciously.

Why did he feel that Wu Maocai was scolding him?

"It's nothing, don't you always say goodbye? What I mean is, always say goodbye to you first, and always say goodbye to NO.1." Wu Maocai said without blushing or heartbeat.

As if to increase credibility, Wu Maocai also extended his thumb.

Although Berezovsky still didn't believe it, he couldn't find any evidence. In the end, he glared at Wu Maocai angrily and had no choice but to give up.

City of Espoo.

Although it is still March, the morning in Espoo City is already warm and spring-like.

However, for the residents of Espoo City, I am afraid they have long been accustomed to it. After all, Espoo City is almost like spring all year round.

Adjectives like spring all year round should mostly describe subtropical areas near 23.5°N-40°N and 23.5°S-40°S.

But the city of Espoo is located in the Arctic Circle, where you can see both day and night.

Espoo City is in the middle of the day, and the sky is not dark at midnight. Even on the southern coast, there are 19-20 hours of sunshine.

As for the polar night, it is endless darkness, with no more than three hours of light a day.

But in such a geographical location, there is actually a place like Espoo that is like spring all year round. I really have to marvel at the amazing strength of human beings in site selection in ancient times.

However, at this moment, the new landmark of Espoo City, the Nokia Tower.

A Jaguar car appeared at the gate of the office building on time. The secretary, who had been waiting for ten minutes, took out a thick document and prepared to report today's work to Nokia's chairman and president, Ollila, who was in the car.

This building can be called Ollila's masterpiece. It was under Ollila's careful words that Espoo City promised that as long as he moved the Nokia headquarters to Espoo City, Espoo City would not only do it free of charge

A piece of land will be granted to Nokia to build a headquarters building, and Nokia will also be exempted from taxes of nearly 30 million euros.

To be honest, he had long been tired of staying in Nokia City. It was too remote, too backward, and too decadent, with almost no life in sight.

Most of the people there are engaged in the same work that their grandfathers and fathers have been engaged in for nearly a hundred years, so they have become old and aged.

The elevator door to the sixteenth floor opened slowly after getting off the car, and the secretary just finished reporting on the work that Ollila needed to do today.

There is no doubt that Ollila is a person who pays great attention to efficiency, so he has always asked his secretary to clearly report all the work that he must do today before he walks into the office.

But something strange today is that after reporting the work, the secretary suddenly looked like he was hesitant to speak.

"You have something to say." Ollila frowned and said impatiently. He was already considering whether to change his secretary.

"Before you came, the front desk lady told me that the president of Russia's Optimus Petroleum Company wanted to see you. The front desk asked him if he had an appointment. He said no, but he said he had a contract signed with Vice Chairman Marcus.

, I hope to have a chat with you about this contract. After I heard the situation, I asked him to go back and wait for news."
