Benji’s words made Greg quite embarrassed.
They had no choice. Before devouring Fliegen, Blau Mobiles hardly had any independent research and development capabilities. Their original market was also acquired by counterfeiting and selling some of Nokia’s best selling models at low prices.
“The lack of independent research and development capabilities is indeed a shortcoming of Blau Mobiles, but we have acquired Fliegen a few months ago and the next new mobile phone will be launched soon. When that time comes, we will completely climb out of Nokia’s shadow.”
Greg’s words made Benji shake his head and said, “Mr. Costa, it’s not that I look down on you. In fact, your sentence is very problematic. There is no mobile phone in the world that can climb out of Nokia’s shadow. Everyone is copying us.”
“After all, only by introducing some elements that Nokia popularized, such as the camera bar layout and button distribution, will consumers recognize the phone.”
Greg raised his eyebrows, feeling slightly enraged.
“Perhaps what you said has some truth, but the elements you mentioned are not originally from Nokia. They had already appeared a long time ago.”
“But Nokia is the one who developed and promoted it, right?” Benji said triumphantly.
Greg snorted, looking unhappy.
Jasper was also happy to see Greg getting defeated as he sat next to the latter.
This guy had swallowed Fliegen back then and Jasper had heard a few times that he was starting to get arrogant. It was not a bad thing to use this opportunity to make Greg understand that Blau Mobiles was still weak.
Just as the two of them were talking, the door of the reception room was pushed open.
An old man with silver hair wearing a suit with an old pocket watch hanging around his neckline walked in. He had a slight blush on his face and he looked hale and hearty.
“Laine, I have already seen you in many financial magazines, but I didn’t expect that you would come to Finland at this critical time.”
Reynoldson‘s tone and attitude were quite polite. When he walked into the room, he proactively reached out his hand and said to Jasper with a smile on his face.
Jasper also stood up. He held Reynoldson‘s hand and smiled, “Mr. Reynoldson is the hero who brought Nokia its current glory. I actually wanted to meet Mr. Reynoldson a long time ago. Why don’t we take advantage of this opportunity and have a chat?”
Reynoldson laughed, and after leading Jasper to sit down, he said, “I wonder Why you have come to Nokia, Mr. Laine. Could it be that you just wanted us to be acquainted?”
Jasper waved his hand and smiled. He answered, “Of course, there are more important things, such as… Helping Mr. Reynoldson resolve the conflict between your management and shareholders?”
As soon as he said this, Benji’s expression changed drastically.
Meanwhile, the smile on Reynoldson’s face gradually disappeared. He looked at Jasper and said slowly, “I don‘t quite understand what you mean.”
“As one of the most outstanding top professional managers, I think you should have understood my plan the first time I said it, Mr. Reynoldson. I am an outsider, so how could I solve the conflict between Nokia’s management with the shareholders? of course, it is by acquiring Nokia.”
Reynoldson snorted. Then, he said unhappily, “Laine, I think you will be disappointed this time. First of all, there is no conflict between management and shareholders. Secondly, Nokia has never considered being acquired by anyone or any company!”
