After learning about Nokia's current financial difficulties, Cai Siqiang, who was very calm, looked like he was sitting firmly on Diaoyutai. He was not in a hurry at all. Nokia did not respond at all, so he still did whatever he should do. Judging from Nokia's current financial situation, Time Tietie is on his side, so he doesn't have to worry at all.

Nokia's management still seems very patient, and this wait has made Cai Siqiang wait for a week.

"It's hard to believe that Nokia may really have the possibility of selling its mobile phone business." Lu Yunpeng, who received Nokia's response, could not hide his inner surprise on the phone. "I just received news from Sampson that Nokia's vice president Terry Henry hoped to hold a formal negotiation with President Cai." Lu Yunpeng continued.

He is a venture capital business. He does not conduct in-depth research on every listed company in the market like a professional M&A service company. Therefore, he knows Nokia's current financial difficulties far less in-depth than professionals. So when he received the news that Nokia was willing to discuss M&A, he felt that all this was incredible.

Although Samps did not mention the merger and acquisition at all, since Samps conveyed his intention to acquire SAL to Nokia's senior management, Nokia was still willing to talk to SAL, which means that this acquisition is also an option.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, I am so grateful. What is the next specific operation process? Did President Sampson make any good suggestions?" Cai Siqiang asked.

"About the specific talks with Vice President Terry, Sampson said he would discuss with you to see when it will be convenient for both sides." Lu Yunpeng said.

Since the negotiation has been agreed, it is basically a small detail in terms of time and place, so Sampson has no special requests.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, do you think this is possible? The negotiation location is in Beijing, and the time is determined by President Sampson?" Cai Siqiang thought about it and made such a suggestion.

This happens to be a neutral treatment and no one will suffer any losses.

"I don't think there is any problem, but what's going on, I'll contact Sampson later. Then everyone will hold a short video conference through skype to decide on this matter." Lu Yunpeng said happily.

To be honest, Lu Yunpeng agreed and optimistic about Sal's acquisition of Nokia's mobile phone business. Venture capital has been observing and preparing to enter this field, but there has been no good opportunities.

According to Lu Yunpeng's understanding of SAL, in terms of mobile phones, SAL now has not only the full voice intelligent control technology that stuns the industry last year, but is now said to have also developed a new type of display screen.

According to the sporadic information released by Cai Siqiang on Saal Weibo, the display accuracy of this new display exceeds all current products and has high-definition performance as a movie.

The mobile phone hardware team, which Dr. Duke, technical director of SAL, poached high salaries from companies such as motorcycles and Apple, is designing a brand new mobile phone day and night.

Considering the amazing performance of Sirius 1 navigation device, Lu Yunpeng is very excited about the amazing creativity of SAL, and hopes that SAL's mobile phone will also have the same amazing performance. If it is really as expected, several venture capital companies can really put the billion-dollar investment in SAL.

As for the moment, if the navigation device business is booming and Lu Yunpeng no longer has to worry about his investment shrinking, then the opportunity to make a lot of money will still be on his mobile phone.

Therefore, Lu Yunpeng, who has always been very concerned about the sal mobile phone business, although he is confident about sal's products, Lu Yunpeng is also very clear and worried about sal's shortcomings in making mobile phones.

Because as a mass consumer product, brands and channels cannot be established and improved in one day. Selling mobile phones and selling brain wave mind-width helmets are two completely different concepts.

First of all, the sales volumes of the two are not on the same order of magnitude, and secondly, the consumer groups are very different, so the brain wave mind power helmet can be shipped through e-commerce channels through some hype.

However, if the mobile phone also adopts this method, and expects to be able to complete sales by relying solely on the Internet, it is basically equivalent to being self-stolen from most users. In mobile phone sales, the Internet can only occupy one part of the sales channel shipment, and it is a relatively small part. Most of them need to be sold through mobile phone stores, electrical malls, and operator channels.

This complex channel system is obviously not available in sal.

As for the brand's disadvantages, it is even more obvious. In the eyes of most users, sal is a software company that started with voice input. Even if the voice input method accumulates a certain degree of popularity among computer and mobile phone users, it gives people the impression of being a software company.

Although SAL's acquisition of Tomtom as a navigation device has attracted some attention, after all, this independent brand is already operating and has no direct relationship with SAL.

When a software company makes mobile phones, it is not that there is no precedent, but it is very easy to criticize in terms of professionalism.

Especially now when most salesmen are going to go to salesperson promotions, as long as the competitor's terminal salesperson tilts his mouth, "Sal? That company may be okay in input methods, but this is completely different from the quality of mobile phones. Can it be compared with Samsung in terms of quality? Think about the mobile phones made by Internet companies in the past two years, and there are several quality models that have passed the test."

Therefore, Lu Yunpeng feels that Sal's brand disadvantages are even greater than those of the channel.

The acquisition of Nokia can instantly make up for these two shortcomings. As for production capacity and patents, although it is also an important consideration, in Lu Yunpeng's view, it is always worse than that of brand and channel importance.

Although Lu Yunpeng is still ignorant of SAL's own mobile operating system, he does not know that SAL has made a relatively thorough evasion in software in terms of patents.

As soon as the phone was put down, Lu Yunpeng answered Samps and told them about the matter. Soon the three of them went to Skype to negotiate the negotiations. There was nothing to say about the preparation and coordination work. Since everyone was willing to talk, Sampson had no objection to the location of the negotiations in Beijing, and the time was set the morning after tomorrow.

After all, it takes about ten hours to fly from Helsinki to Beijing. Vice President Terry cannot participate in the negotiations as soon as he got off the plane. As for the negotiation hotel, Lu Yunpeng helped arrange it at the Wangfu Hotel, which is a five-star hotel with very good conditions. It is said that the Western cuisine is authentic, and the chef from France is still the best in Beijing. I believe that as a Frenchman Terry will like it.

As soon as the matter was settled, Cai Siqiang brought the acquisition team that had been prepared the next day: Dong Feng, overseas mergers and acquisition director Zhan Shaofeng, and acquisition consultant Merkel and Cai Siqiang's overseas affairs assistant and translator Du Chengyi, and a group of five people rushed to Beijing to prepare for negotiations with Terry Henry.
