Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 526: The Most Expensive Engagement Gift in History

At the beginning of 2012, because of the two crises that threatened all mankind, the global economy experienced a severe depression.

There are even various turmoil in some countries because of these two crises.

The country is like this, let alone those private companies?

Today, the company with the highest market value in the global stock market has become an industrial company like Wal-Mart, with a market value of 310 billion US dollars, leading the world. However, high-tech companies such as Microsoft and Google have experienced varying degrees of decline in market value. Although they are better than the previous global economic crisis, they have not been able to create a record of more than 500 billion US dollars at their peak.

Microsoft's market cap is only $180 billion, and Google's is only $160 billion.

It is only because Wal-Mart's global turnover in the first quarter of 2012 has exceeded the 200 billion US dollar mark that the market value of Wal-Mart has become so high.

This achievement has almost reached the global turnover level of Wal-Mart in the previous two quarters.

According to the normal ratio between market value and turnover, Wal-Mart, which has a quarterly turnover of 200 billion US dollars, should have a market value of at least 400 billion US dollars, or even break through the 500 billion US dollar mark.

After all, the former Wal-Mart created a market value of 320 billion US dollars with an annual turnover of 480 billion US dollars.

But because of the sluggishness of the global economy, Wal-Mart missed this opportunity to break through the market value of 500 billion US dollars.

And their turnover can reach such a level, and it is also related to the crazy hoarding behavior of global consumers during this period of time at the beginning of the year.

Many people think that whether it is a zombie crisis or a Worthington virus crisis, they just need to find a safe place to hide and wait quietly for the crisis to pass. Therefore, hoarding supplies has become a mainstream.

This is an abnormal surge in turnover, and only a retail industry like Wal-Mart can create such achievements in such adversity. But everyone knows that consumers around the world have hoarded a lot of supplies, and subsequent consumption will definitely weaken.

This is one of the reasons why their market value cannot exceed 500 billion US dollars.

"What I want to know is that almost all companies are losing money. Even if the sales volume has made a breakthrough due to the crisis, it is still an overdraft consumption, which is not good for future development."

In Nokia headquarters, the new Nokia CEO,

He said with a serious expression: "Then why, Apple's turnover has achieved a breakthrough?"

This question is actually not difficult to answer, because Wen Ming's behavior of releasing crisis information to the global public through Apple's products has made many consumers pay more attention to Apple's products.

The SHSD organization has been officially accepted by the United Nations, and the news has been announced to the world.

Everyone knows the purpose and code of conduct of this organization, and the person in charge of this organization is Wen Ming, the founder of Apple.

In this case, if you want to know the news of the crisis as soon as possible so that you can prepare yourself for the crisis, should you buy an Apple product?

"Since the last forced live broadcast of the iPhone, in just half a month, the global shipment of iPhones has reached 10 million units. This is because the production capacity of iPhones cannot be supplied. According to the data they released, There have been more than 20 million pre-orders for the iPhone, and sales of Apple's other products have suddenly exploded."

The CEO of Nokia asked: "What I want to know is, why is our Nokia mobile phone sales hitting a new low?"

This question is actually easy to answer, because Nokia's mobile phones have no selling points, and the deaths of three previous shareholders have led to the outbreak of power struggles. Nokia is already in a precarious situation.

"Our market value has fallen below 20 billion U.S. dollars. Although it is also due to the impact of these two crises, can any of you tell me when we will be able to recover, and whether we have a chance to recover?"

Saying that it is less than 20 billion US dollars is actually boasting, because Nokia's current market value is only a little over 10 billion US dollars.

Nokia's new CEO has just been criticized by the board of directors, so he doesn't have the slightest scruples to speak at this time.

"If you can't find an effective solution, I think we can all submit our resignation letters."

After saying this, the conference room was still silent.

No one can find an effective solution. This situation is not limited to Nokia, other mobile phone manufacturers, digital product manufacturers, including traditional profiteering industries such as real estate. At this time, there is no effective way to solve the problem of their own company crisis.

The difference is that some companies still have the opportunity to wait for the crisis to pass, but Nokia has no chance to wait.

Seeing that no one answered his question, the new CEO of Nokia was about to get mad again, but was suddenly interrupted.

A Nokia shareholder walked directly into the meeting room with a group of people. The shareholder didn't have the anger when he blamed the CEO before. It was more like getting rid of a big bondage, and he behaved very relaxed.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Cage, the CEO of Tesla, who will represent Mr. Wen Ming and be responsible for managing all the affairs of Nokia in the future."

The shareholder looked at the shocked Nokia executives in the conference room, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen Ming has acquired 75% of Nokia's shares, and he hopes to acquire the technology stocks held by everyone here."

After completing his task, the shareholder left the meeting room with a relaxed face, leaving behind Cage who walked directly to the position of the current CEO of Nokia.

"Can you please?"

Cage said very rude words very politely, but the current CEO of Nokia has no courage to refuse at all.

Cage sat down, but felt a little embarrassed, because it was different from the plan he had made with Wen Ming.

Before, they wanted to acquire as many shares of Nokia as possible through offshore companies. After all, it is a listed company, and the shares are not only in the hands of shareholders, but also technology shares held by senior management and shares held by shareholders.

Even if the acquisition is completed, the news of Wen Ming's acquisition of Nokia will not be announced for the time being.

But after two crises, Wen Ming's global reputation has become unmatched, and the sales of Apple's products have skyrocketed, which is very good evidence.

Under such circumstances, Wen Ming decided not to act in a secretive manner.

He wants to 'monopoly' the mobile phone industry aboveboard.

Cage sighed inwardly, and said: "All of you here have a total of 6% of Nokia's shares. I hereby propose a purchase price that is 100% premium to the current market value. Excuse me, does anyone disagree?"

Of course, some people disagree. Seeing that Wen Ming bought Nokia, isn't the market value going up?

Who would be willing to throw away their equity?

Seeing that almost everyone rejected the acquisition request, Cage was not surprised at all, and continued: "It's okay, on behalf of Mr. Wen Ming, I will inject 40 billion U.S. dollars into Nokia Corporation. According to Nokia Corporation's registered capital and existing market value, The equity you hold will be proportionally reduced."

Someone yelled: "You can't do this, it's illegal."

Cage smiled and said: "Illegal? Sorry, my job is a lawyer, we can have a good discussion."

...

The news that Nokia was wholly-owned by Wen Ming was learned by the media at the first time. Apple and other companies affiliated to Wen Ming also issued announcements at the first time, and Nokia itself also issued an announcement.

Many people don't know why Wen Ming bought Nokia, which was about to go bankrupt, but the impact of this matter covered the whole world within a few days.

Many people think that the crisis has been completely resolved, so Wen Ming is buying the bottom, so the global stock market has seen a considerable increase.

The most obvious one is that Nokia, whose market value has fallen below 10 billion U.S. dollars, broke through 150 billion U.S. dollars in five days.

And its upward trend, although slowed down, did not stop.

At the rocket launch site of Canada's Umbrella Company, Wen Ming heard Gal Gadot who had just arrived say: "Congratulations, you have earned 100 billion U.S. dollars in just a few days. This time, no one should treat you as the world's richest man again." The identity of the company has been questioned, after all, Nokia is a listed company.”

Wen Ming said with a smile: "Actually, I earned more than 100 billion US dollars, but this account is a bit complicated. If you calculate it carefully, readers will say that my boss has a lot of words..."

I don't know why Gal Gadot automatically ignored the second half of Wen Ming's sentence, and Wen Ming himself didn't seem to know that he had said the second half of the sentence.

Gal Gadot asked: "Aren't you afraid that the acquisition of Nokia will affect the sales of Apple mobile phones?"

Wen Ming replied: "Nokia and Apple have different product positioning, and there will be no conflict between them."

Gal Gadot saw Emily not far away, and was a little surprised, so he wanted to end the topic with Wen Ming, and said, "Well, I don't understand business."

Wen Ming also noticed the source of Gal Gadot's surprise, and was a little disappointed. Couldn't he make this woman focus on him after earning 100 billion US dollars?

So Wen Ming said: "You still need to learn more about doing business. How about I give you the Nokia. If you earn it, it's yours, and if you lose it, it's mine."

Gal Gadot was stunned, she thought Wen Ming was joking.

That is a company with a market value that has just exceeded 150 billion U.S. dollars.

Ke Wenming is really not joking, what is 150 billion US dollars? He just wanted Gal Gadot to shift his attention from Emily to himself.

Otherwise, how will the three people live together in the future to determine the primary and secondary relationship?

"Lilith, ask Cage to prepare the formalities and donate all the Nokia shares I hold to Gal Gadot."

Gal Gadot's attention finally shifted from Emily to Wen Ming.

But the meaning in the eyes she looked at Wen Ming was very obvious.

"Is this man a lunatic?"

Wen Ming ignored Lilith who was also stunned, and said to Gal Gadot, "Take it as my engagement gift to you."
