Chapter 1050
In the western restaurant, Lu Feng and Elmi ate slowly. Most of the outside companies have given up on the Nokia matter. Even if it is really sold, these companies will not be able to turn.

The marketing department of Siemens contacted Nokia, and the people below were completely ignorant of these things, and submitted analysis reports one after another.

Herman sat in his seat and looked at the report in front of him. The office door was pushed open, and several heads of the marketing department walked in. Herman looked at them and said, "Sit down!"

"President, I think this matter is an oolong. All the sources of information are from Jiafeng's Lu Feng himself. From all aspects of Nokia, this matter is not credible." A man in his fifties said the man.

"Although there are rumors outside, but I contacted a small shareholder who is a member of Nokia's board of directors, and they did not hold a board meeting internally." Another person said.

There was a lot of chatter at the scene, and all the signs showed that Nokia had no intention of selling, and that the family was living a very healthy life.

Herman didn't think so. He sat down with a cigar, looked at the crowd and asked, "Then why didn't the CEO of Nokia face up to the problem? He made vague remarks on the phone before, and he didn't come forward until the incident got serious." To clarify, and Lu Feng has a very close relationship with Elmi, let's analyze his character, is he the kind of person who is willing to apologize easily?"

The people present glanced at each other. If you analyze human nature, you don't know.

"One more thing, facing market pressure tomorrow, Siemens is expected to face financial problems in a year's time. Do you want to seek external financial support? Do you think the high-level executives will make a big deal of it?" Herman asked.

When everyone heard such an analysis, they seemed to understand something in their hearts, and they must not publicize it, otherwise the entire enterprise will be distracted in an instant, and it will only lead to an even more uncontrollable situation for the enterprise.

"What do you mean, now their high-level executives have this intention, and Lu Feng's apology is caused by Nokia's pressure?"

"Yes, that's what I think. It's okay if Lu Feng doesn't apologize. It's not right for him to stand up and apologize. We still need to keep a high degree of attention on this matter. It's best to sit down with Lu Feng and have a chat. If we Being able to eat Nokia directly, even if it is only a part, will be a huge boost to the development of our communication/mobile phone." Herman directly expressed his thoughts.

The other executives stopped talking. The decisive moves of companies of this level are extremely confidential, and some are even contacted in private. They will not be announced until the day after the completion of the acquisition. It is also because they are afraid that some companies will interfere with it.

"If that's the case, this Lu Feng has become an important person instead?" A white man in his sixties looked around and continued, "Didn't you two meet in London a while ago? I happened to talk on the phone. thing."

Herman was quite embarrassed when he heard this. Before Lu Feng made an appointment to talk to him, he refused to answer, but now he couldn't get in touch because he wanted to contact him.

"So everyone pays attention to this matter. If you have relevant news, you should pay more attention to it, and you can talk to some consulting companies. That's it for today." Herman didn't answer the question, and directly issued an order to evict the guest.

After everyone left, Herman called his assistant and asked him to continue to help make an appointment for Lu Feng's phone call.

Half of London is talking about Lu Feng's origin. This man from the east has attracted too much attention. In addition, Elmi's appearance is like a twister that detonates explosives. I don't know how many people are jealous behind his back. with.

Half a month passed in a flash, and as the public opinion began to subside, people were caught up in the daily news. In the past half month, Sean came a few times, invited Lu Feng to dinner a few times, and asked around About Nokia, he himself said that he was asking for Ericsson, but Lu Feng didn't think so.

After repeated questioning, Lu Feng also became impatient, and told him that he was just being silly, and he had already apologized, so he couldn't embarrass his future father-in-law, but he drank a lot that day, as if he had slipped his mouth. Nokia is mortgaging a part of its equity, and it doesn't want the outside world to speculate. It just wants to make some money quietly through its own hands.

Sean tossed around and couldn't sleep after returning home. For a while, he couldn't figure out which of Lu Feng's words was true and which was false. Judging from various sources, Nokia is indeed short of money. If they can get a large amount of money to invest in brand building/sales channels And so on, they can really survive.

Given Nokia's current situation, the possibility of high-level gambles is very high. From the perspective of the outside world, being suppressed by Ericsson is a slow death.

Thinking of this, Sean immediately got up and wrote an email to Herman directly.

After this period of development, Jiafeng Group’s business in the UK has reached its peak. Unlike other businesses, when the business reaches its peak, there will be a retention effect, and a considerable number of customers will use it for a long time. Jiafeng’s products are different. The above is a one-time use.

After the peak of the business has passed, there will be a cliff-like decline in sales. Now Jiafeng has basically closed the loan link completely. Due to the excessive number of agents, sales have declined, and many teams have begun to stop making money. This bomb is bound to go off sooner or later.

In the conference room, the situation in the company was pretty much the same. Lu Feng gave the method to increase the formation activities, cheer each other up, and at the same time reduce the number of new members.

There are very few new members. According to Jiafeng's activity statistics list, in the past six months, a total of [-] million people have participated in Jiafeng's activities, with [-] million general agents and [-] million existing agents. , according to the population structure of the UK, Jiafeng Group has basically screened out the population aged [-] to [-], and the products are set per capita.

There are too many liars and not enough fools!
Lu Feng looked at the data on the file folder, lit a cigarette and muttered: "It's better to go to a populous country to get this kind of set, and the money will be quicker, and the suites will be quiet for a hundred or so, that's it, let's adjourn!"

Lu Feng closed the folder and looked at Manager Li and said, "Come to my office."

In the office, Manager Li closed the door, looked at Lu Feng and said, "Boss Lu, many of the recent lawsuits have been settled. We lost three games, and the total compensation is [-] million pounds. Besides, we have not done anything in the court. Spend less money, and the market as a whole doesn’t have much untapped potential right now.”

Lu Feng raised his head and looked at him. Manager Li's words were very clear. This place is running out of oil and water, and if he doesn't leave, he won't be able to take any money with him.

"How about other branches?" Lu Feng sat down and asked.

"France is the best-developed country, followed by Germany, but they are not as good as here. Those countries have already passed their anger and contain us in various ways. In yesterday's conference call, the French branch can transfer [-] million US dollars this week. , the other branches are still trying to find a way, and the biggest influence is Siemens." Manager Li replied.

Lu Feng took out a folder in front of him and flipped through it again, raised his head and asked, "It shouldn't be a problem to return a billion dollars to the headquarters, right?"

Manager Li was embarrassed when he heard this. There are too many places to spend money. This group of people just caught them in a gray industrial area. In addition, they are foreign companies, which taste much worse than eating local companies. To put it bluntly, the profit of the entire enterprise can be said to be ten out of ten.

"Ugh!"

Lu Feng sighed, it was already May, it seemed that he had to seize the time to get out, sat there thinking for a while, and said: "Since pigs can no longer make money, we can only kill pigs, let the people below Sort out a copy of sales secrets for me, and let all the lecturers learn it for me within a week, and then sell courses in various teams. As long as you take our courses, it is trivial to earn hundreds of thousands of pounds a month, understand? "

Manager Li replied that he understood that he would set up relevant departments to implement this matter. At the same time, he also understood that the game could not be played in the end, and now selling lessons is just to make up for some outsiders eating away at Jiafeng’s profits. It's just a means, to squeeze out the last bit of oil and water.

"Is the company you registered with a while ago ready?" Lu Feng asked.

"In that folder." Manager Li pointed to an orange folder on the table.

"Okay, you can go about your business. You have to hurry up on selling courses, do a good job of publicity internally, and set a level in terms of pricing, such as one, two or three levels. It is best to let those who make money from us, Let them spit it out." Lu Feng said very directly.

"I see!"

"Go out." Lu Feng bowed his hands to signal that he could go.

There is a small wall calendar on the table. It is already May [-]th. Lu Feng silently calculated in his mind that the funds must be transferred out within one month, otherwise the trip will be in vain.

Sitting in the seat and pondering for a long time, after smoking several cigarettes, Elmi still trusts Lu Feng quite a bit now, and there are fewer rumors from the outside world, but the inquiries between big companies have never stopped.

Siemens is too greedy for Nokia. As long as they swallow Nokia, their strength in communication will definitely increase rapidly.

Lu Feng seemed to understand something, picked up the phone and prepared to call Herman, hesitated after pressing a few numbers, put the phone down again, and relayed Sean's call.

After the call was connected, Lu Feng said to the phone: "I'm Lu Feng, are you in London now? Have dinner together tonight?"

On the other end of the phone, Sean was also a little surprised by Lu Feng's invitation. Now Lu Feng is definitely the top group of people in the European business world, at least that's what the outside world thinks, and the relationship between the two has also weakened a lot during this time. few.

"I'm in London, just for a meal?" Sean wanted to find out something.

"I've been feeling upset recently, and I want to chat with you. Of course, it's not just about eating. I've got something in my heart, which makes me uncomfortable. I haven't made much progress recently. Shall I talk to you?" Lu Feng faced The phone said.

"Is it related to Elmi?" Sean asked further.

Seeing his endless look, Lu Feng said directly: "It has something to do with Nokia, so why don't you just say whether you want to eat or not?"

"Eat!" Sean suddenly regained his energy!
