Back to 1995

Ertian turned to the director of Alcatel's marketing department on the other end of the phone, and after repeated confirmation, he finally confirmed that this news in the mobile phone industry was enough to shake the entire industry. Nokia was actually backstabbed by Microsoft!

At the most critical time for Nokia, when it was in need of transformation, Microsoft stabbed Nokia hard and announced that it would no longer upgrade the smartphone system of Nokia's WP system. I don't know how Nokia will react to this news. Anyway, Ertian Some of them can't be adjusted.

When Nokia was in alliance with Microsoft, it was also touted by the outside world that the empire would merge, and that the two empires would join forces, and anyone would have to avoid three points.

Although the Microsoft WP system has also been criticized, but the family background is there. Although the operability and fluency are not as good as the Symbian smartphone system, it is comparable to the Android and Apple systems of the same period. Advantages, at least not downwind!

But at this critical moment, Microsoft suddenly stabbed Nokia in the waist, and asked those who bought the Nokia Lunmia 630 mobile phone if they panicked? !

Ertian was still in the shock of the news, but after seeing Song Ping's expression, he didn't seem to be surprised by the news at all, and then remembered that Song Yang asked him about the news from Microsoft. Even with his eyes closed, Ertian knew that there was something tricky about it.

"Song, do you know that Microsoft will do something?!" Ertian couldn't help asking.

Song Yang neither admitted nor denied that it was Song Yang who advised Ballmer that Microsoft stabbed Nokia.

"Microsoft's attack on Nokia is beneficial to Alcatel mobile phones. There is no need to intervene in their war. When the time is right, Alcatel mobile phones can add fire to Nokia!"

Ertian knew it well. Although he didn't know what would happen to Nokia in the end, he also understood that it might not be much better. This time, the former mobile phone empire may really collapse!

Microsoft used the Nokia Lunmia630 mobile phone, because of the hardware level, after the news that the WP system could not upgrade the mobile phone system, the entire mobile phone industry was in an uproar.

In addition to Nokia, Samsung, HTC, Siemens, BlackBerry and other models are also equipped with Microsoft WP system. At this time, people are also panicked. There are also models that were originally expected to cooperate with WP. To the Android camp banner!

Regarding Microsoft's sudden move, the outside world is full of discussions. There are conspiracy theories that Microsoft is backstabbing and wants to bring down Nokia, but other people don't agree with this view. Instead, they think that it may be the Nokia model. If the hardware is substandard, Microsoft is unable to provide system upgrades. After all, if it is not a last resort, how can a normal person make such a move to kick his biggest customer? !
Nokia needs to transform, so Microsoft doesn't need WP. Microsoft's WP system also needs to rely on the sales of Nokia and other mobile phones to occupy more smartphone market share. If it deliberately refuses to upgrade the system for Nokia, isn't Microsoft self-destructing the Great Wall?
The matter between Microsoft and Nokia fell into Rashomon for a while, and there was a lot of discussion from the outside world, but neither Microsoft nor Nokia said anything, but Nokia's stock price fell sharply before they could decide the winner.

Originally, Nokia's stock price, after the P6 smartphone was born, dived all the way to the ground. Wall Street institutions and investors from all walks of life were extremely pessimistic about Nokia's stock price, and sold Nokia's stock frantically. Nokia, which has a market value of more than 3000 million yuan, has lost two-thirds of its market value, and its current market value is only [-] billion U.S. dollars.

It seems that Nokia is still a giant company, but compared to two years ago, it has declined too much. Now the critical period of transition from traditional feature phones to smart phones has been abandoned by Microsoft's WP system. Those who put their hopes on were completely disappointed and began to clear their positions and run away, causing Nokia's stock price to plummet.

"President Kallasvuo, we need to know what happened, Lunmia630 machine, is there a quality problem?!"

At the Nokia board meeting, some directors could not help questioning Kallasvuo, quality is the biggest label of Nokia mobile phones, and now it is reported that there are quality problems, how can they accept this.

More importantly, it doesn't matter if Nokia's fall. The entire Finnish stock market and even old European technology stocks have been brought into the ditch.

From the fact that Nokia’s sales were equaled by Alcatel’s mobile phones, and then surpassed by the P6 and P7 era, not only Nokia itself was uncomfortable, but many companies and families in Finland were in turmoil, and even Finland’s GDP was affected. It has been proposed to make a cut with this company that made Finland extremely proud and helped Finland get out of the quagmire of the Cold War, lest the whole of Finland be taken into the ditch by Nokia.

In this atmosphere, the pressure on Nokia in old Europe and Finland has almost reached the point of terror, and Kallasvuo, who has faced such a difficult situation since he took office, has naturally become the target of criticism.

To this day, Nokia's board of directors finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to attack Kallasvuo.

Ollila, the former president of Nokia and the current boss of Nokia's board of directors, sitting among the board members, looked at Kallasvuo Kallasvuo who was besieged by the silent demon, and couldn't help but excuse him, "This matter is Microsoft's treachery, Nokia's Lunmia630 In terms of quality, there will be no problem!"

"Chairman Ollila, we are aware of Nokia's current situation, and evading the problem will not change anything. Nokia should have cut off cooperation with Symbian and Android systems long ago, but Nokia should have launched its own system earlier, and it will not be like it is now. So passive, but it's too late.

Since you stepped down as the president of Nokia, Nokia has reacted too slowly and hesitated, hesitated to launch smartphones, and hesitated to develop its own system or install other systems, so that all opportunities were lost! "

Another director of Nokia, who is also the representative of Vakif Bank, the largest bank in Finland and Northern Europe, said in Nokia that this has been said very seriously. This is almost pointing at Kallasvuo, thinking that he has delayed Nokia.

"The most important thing now is how to change Nokia's situation. Now Nokia can't lose Microsoft WP system, at least before Nokia develops its own system, it can't lose Microsoft WP!"

The meeting quickly turned into how to restore Microsoft's WP system, even if it knew that Microsoft was messing with it this time, Nokia could only grit its teeth and swallow it, because there is really no system available, Nokia His life is really hanging by a thread. Now, he can only rely on the Microsoft WP system to hang his life, and he can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

After many discussions and discussions, no good results were reached. The key is that Nokia doesn't know what Microsoft is thinking, and it doesn't know which director of Nokia has a big brain. The entry of Microsoft executives into Nokia may allow the two parties to re-establish contact, and the previous "misunderstanding" may be resolved!
As soon as he said this, he knew that this was an act of raising the white flag, which was equivalent to being hacked, and he knelt down to express that he would not be hacked to death, whatever he wanted was fine.

It seems that this statement seems absurd, but it is actually because of Nokia's situation, which is too difficult. The whole of Finland and old Europe are putting pressure on Nokia. Nokia's board of directors, investors, and employees cannot accept it. It can't sell the machine, as long as it can continue to sell the machine, a little "humiliation" can only be regarded as harmless.

Watching the meeting room gradually quiet down, Kallasvuo looked around and paused for a moment when his gaze fell on Ollila. If it was said that the only person Kallasvuo felt sorry for was Ollila, Ollila had Under tremendous pressure, the position of head of Nokia was handed over to him, but Kallasvuo screwed up.

Kallasvuo naturally felt that it was unreliable to let Microsoft executives enter the Nokia Overseer, but in this situation, it is really difficult for him to support the big tree of Nokia.

"I am willing to be responsible for Nokia's current situation, and I am willing to give up the position of Nokia's president!"

Kang Peikai stood up and said that he was responsible for all the blame, but at this moment, Kang Peikai felt that the heavy burden on his body was suddenly lightened.

Seeing Kallasvuo leaving the meeting room, Ollila hesitated to speak. He knew best that Kallasvuo was not to blame. Kallasvuo was indeed technically conservative, but he couldn’t blame him entirely. But Kallasvuo really paid for Nokia. After everything, since he took over as the head of Nokia, the white hair on Kallasvuo's head can tell how much pressure he has had!
"The latest news from Finland, Nokia President Kallasvuo Kallasvilla announced his resignation, and the new head may be a non-Nokia responsible manager!"

While the outside world was still talking about Nokia and Microsoft's Rashomon, they saw the shocking news from Eastern Europe, and the entire technology industry was a little numb. This is the first few leaders to be kicked out this year.

From Microsoft to Yahoo, and then from Yahoo to Nokia, the founders or leaders of giant companies have left. It really makes people feel clearly that an era has really passed!

"Elop, the president of the Microsoft business unit, announced that he has accepted the invitation of the Nokia board of directors and officially assumed the position of the head of Nokia!"

Bill Gates, who was preparing his retirement speech, and Terry Meyerson, who had been chattering in front of him for a long time, complained that Ballmer had ruined the Microsoft WP system. When they saw this sudden news, Both of them were silent for a while.
