Jasper saw Reynoldson’s coldness and discomfort. He was not surprised by this at all.
As his fingers tapped against the desktop, Jasper said, “Mr. Reynoldson, if Nokia and the shareholders have no conflicts, then why has the Symbian V4.1 operating system not been updated after so long?”
“As far as I know, there is a huge difference in opinions between the management and shareholders regarding the update of this system.”
“Mr. Reynoldson, you advocate making the system more inclusive, and you are even considering opening part of the interface or even part of the source code so that more Symbian operating system developers can participate and develop more functional mobile applications.
“At this point, you are more inclined to move toward the Android system that is still very weak but already has a certain user base.”
“However, the shareholders don’t agree. Your shareholders insist that the closed Symbian operating system is Nokia’s property, a stance they have held for many years.”
“They believe that the Symbian operating system is still the most used mobile phone operating system in the world, and that Nokia does not need to make any changes not bring any unnecessary risks.”
Jasper’s words caused Reynoldson’s face to darken more and more.
It was not that Jasper was simply blurting this out.
It was because every word Jasper said directly referred to the conflict happening at the very core of Nokia. These were all Nokia’s top secrets. He simply could not figure out how Jasper, a man from Somerland who had been fighting with the capitalists on the United States Dow Jones Index and Sunrise Land exchange rate two days ago, knew these secrets.
“Mr. Laine, although I don’t know where you got the information from, you must have misunderstood. The management does share some conceptual disagreements with shareholders, but this difference will be bound to occur in any large company. This is not the first time we have faced this situation in Nokia. We will have ways to solve it and it is not as serious as you have said.”
Jasper laughed when he saw that Reynoldson was still being stubborn.
In fact, there were two ideal opportunities to acquire Nokia.
The first opportunity was four or five years ago. At that time, Nokia was still an ordinary telecom operator in Finland. Nokia, which made a fortune in the telecom industry, invested in everything. At its peak, it also dabbled in the steel industry.
However, it was precisely because of these blind investments that Nokia once fell into a desperate situation and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
It was Reynoldson’s appearance that saved Nokia.
On the other hand, the second best time was now.
The first time was too early, not to mention that Jasper had not been reincarnated back then, so it was naturally impossible.
However, Jasper knew that the conflict between Nokia‘s management and shareholders had reached an irreconcilable point.
In the end, this matter ended with Reynoldson’s compromise. After all, the shareholders were the actual controllers of this company. No matter how strong the management was, if the shareholders fell out with them, Reynoldson would not be able to win against them.
This was precisely the thing that caused Reynoldson to resign. After which, Nokia was gone forever after being beaten by Android and Apple.
“Did I make the problem out to be too serious, or is Nokia already in danger? Mr. Reynoldson, you know the answer very well in your heart.”
Jasper’s words caused Reynoldson to stand up.
“Mr. Laine, I have two more meetings to attend. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave.”
Jasper narrowed his eyes to look at Reynoldson and then stood up.
