"I don't know why Mr. Jia is here this time." Looking at our Boss Jia, Olila asked curiously and doubtfully.
"Of course, I'm not here to denounce you!" Boss Jia said with a smile, "Although the information that your company gave to Qualcomm made us very passive!"
"Hehe!" Hearing Boss Jia's words, Olila laughed twice. As competitors in the business world, this kind of thing was nothing to be ashamed of, and there was no justice or evil.
But when this matter was said in front of Boss Jia, Olila was still quite uncomfortable, and at the same time, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and then his momentum in front of Boss Jia weakened a little.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter!" Boss Jia said with a smile, "Even if Nokia has already regarded us as a competitor in advance, we still regard Nokia as our best partner. We hope to be friends with such an excellent global company like Nokia, not enemies!"
"Oh, so Mr. Jia is here to make friends with us?" Olila asked with some surprise.
"Of course!" Boss Jia nodded.
"I don't think so!" Olila smiled slightly. He was not an idiot, and he understood the principle that one would not visit a temple without a reason. Especially when Boss Jia expressed his intention to be friends, Olila understood that the Daqian might have a favor to ask of him.
So Olila suddenly sat up straight, and his whole person actually stood up in an instant. Since the Daqian had a favor to ask of him, then he was the boss.
Olila began to think about what the Daqian wanted from him, and whether he could give it to the Daqian. If he could give it to the Daqian? Then how could he get more benefits and benefits from the Daqian?
"Mr. Jia, if you have any requests, please feel free to tell us. As long as it's something that Nokia can do, we will do our best!" Olila said with a smile. As for whether he would really do his best to help, only God knew.
"That's great. In fact, our request is very simple. We just want to buy something from Nokia!" Boss Jia's face suddenly revealed a smile.
"Buy things?" Olila was stunned for a moment, and then Boss Jia continued, "That's right, and it's a big business worth hundreds of millions of dollars!"
"A business deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars!" Olila's heart thumped twice, but he quickly reacted. Although the Daqian's bait was very fragrant, what they wanted to buy was probably not something simple.
"May I know what your company wants to buy?" Olila asked.
"It's nothing big. It's just a GSM communication baseband produced by your company!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"What?!" Olila was shocked and stood up directly. He looked at Boss Jia and said, "Mr. Jia, are you kidding me?"
"Do you think I'm kidding?" Boss Jia said, "Then I'll say it again. We want to buy your company's GSM communication baseband!"
"Then I'll answer you. We will not sell you our communication baseband!" Olila was not stupid. Although he was shocked by Boss Jia's request at first, after thinking quickly, he understood where the Daqian's interests lay.
Now the main base stations all over the world were GSM. Although the Daqian let Hua Xia use a CDMA base station, after all, it was only in Hua Xia, a backward country. If the Daqian mobile phones wanted to sell well all over the world, they must install a GSM baseband on the mobile phones.
Therefore, buying the GSM baseband directly from Nokia was the best choice. Because the baseband was bought directly from Nokia, there would be no patent wall restrictions. The Daqian mobile phones could sell well all over the world.
Even the Daqian mobile phones could have a wider market than Nokia mobile phones. After all, the Daqian mobile phones also had a CDMA baseband. In this way, the two versions of the Daqian mobile phones could fully adapt to the global market. Jia Yapeng's calculation was really wonderful.
Unfortunately, Olila was not a fool. He would never sell the Nokia communication baseband to the Daqian.
"Mr. CEO, don't be so absolute. Everything in the world can be negotiated!" Since Boss Jia came, he certainly knew that Olila would not easily sell the baseband to him, so Boss Jia prepared sufficient negotiation conditions.
"In fact, we can exchange. Nokia can sell the GSM baseband to the Daqian, then we can also sell the CDMA baseband to Nokia. In this way, Nokia can use the CDMA baseband to directly enter the Hua Xia market!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Hmph, how many people can afford a mobile phone in a mere Hua Xia market? Mr. Jia, do you think I'm an idiot? "Olila snorted coldly.
"But we can guarantee that we will never sell the CDMA baseband to Motorola!" Boss Jia immediately patted his chest and promised.
"It doesn't matter!" Olila said proudly, "Motorola is no match for us!"
"In that case, why don't I give you a guarantee that our Daqian mobile phones will not enter the European market, and will only be sold in markets outside the European market?" Boss Jia raised the stakes again.
"Give up the European market!" This time, Olila was really tempted. The current situation of the global mobile phone industry was the two major markets in Europe and the United States.
After all, except for Europe and the United States, the other countries were basically poor. There were very few users who could afford a mobile phone. They were simply not qualified to be compared to these two markets.
The current situation of these two markets was that Nokia basically occupied the European market, with about 70% of the market share in the entire European market.
On the contrary, Motorola occupied the United States market, with about 80% of the market share in the United States, which was slightly higher than Nokia.
As for the other regions of the world, Motorola's market share was higher. In the entire 1994, Nokia sold a total of 250,000 mobile phones.
However, Motorola sold 350,000 mobile phones. This sales gap still put a lot of pressure on Nokia.
However, this was something that could not be helped. After all, Motorola specialized in telecommunications, while Nokia started out late in the mobile phone industry. Coupled with the geographical factors, it was normal for the current situation to occur.
Therefore, when Boss Jia promised not to enter the European market, Olila was immediately tempted. If the Daqian mobile phones did not enter the European market, then the only market left for the Daqian to fight was the United States market.
In this way, Da Qian and Motorola would fight until their brains were out, while Nokia could sit on top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight. They would not be shaken by this.
In the end, no matter if the Daqian won by luck, or if Motorola was as stable as Mount Tai, there was no harm for Nokia.
Moreover, Nokia could take the opportunity to enter the Hua Xia market, which was a huge market with a population of 1.3 billion. According to Nokia's estimation, around 2010, there should be tens of millions of people in the Hua Xia market who could afford mobile phones. This market was quite large.
"Can the Daqian never enter the European market?" Olila could not help but ask.
"Of course it's impossible!" Boss Jia smiled, "Mr. Olila, we are both businessmen, so I won't lie to you. I will enter the European market sooner or later, but I can guarantee you that as long as the Daqian still buys the GSM baseband from Nokia, then the Daqian will never enter the European market. This can also be written in the contract!"
"Oh! Mr. Jia is so confident that CDMA can defeat GSM in the future? "Olila asked with a sneer.
"Of course, because the potential and future of CDMA are far beyond GSM. This is the consensus of everyone. Technology is based on people!" Boss Jia smiled.
"You are really a good lobbyist!" Olila sighed, then shook his head and said, "But I still won't agree to your conditions. I will treat you to dinner tonight. If you are willing to stay in Finland and travel, I will be very happy to accompany you. But there is no need to talk about buying the baseband!"
"Why?" Boss Jia was a little anxious this time. He did not expect that Nokia would not take the bait.
"Because I found that you are a very scary opponent. In the future, Nokia may really be defeated by you, so I don't want to give the Daqian a chance to develop!" Olila said very straightforwardly.
This was the truth.
