Chapter 2348: Surprise
It should be due to the very effective communication under the moonlight that Feng Yiping was full of energy when he arrived at the office in the morning.
Of course, the other party involved was quite troubled at this time.
Huang Jingping not only personally sent Amanda to school this morning, but also kept explaining along the way, "Baby, dad came back very late last night, and you fell asleep before he came home, right?"
They had a very enjoyable communication last night, and Feng Yiping, who woke up at 6 o'clock this morning, changed his exercise method and insisted on taking her with him, so they stayed upstairs late.
As a result, when they were about to pack up and go downstairs, Amanda, who came over rubbing her eyes, blocked them right in the middle...
Amanda was still angry at this time, and tilted her head to look outside the car, "But why didn't you wake me up?"
Huang Jingping touched her head, "We went to see you, but seeing that you were sleeping so soundly, we didn't want to wake you up,"
"Also, Dad and I have some issues to discuss tonight. You must not sleep well in the tent,"
When saying this, Huang Jingping looked forward, I didn't lie, right, we did talk about a lot of issues last night.
"The reason why Dad set up a tent on the roof is that he remembered that I was not there when you lived in a tent last time, so he wanted to take me to experience it. You have lived in tents several times in Australia and Cannes, right?"
"But, didn't you take me with you when you lived in a tent together before?" Amanda still pouted.
Huang Jingping immediately raised her hand, "No, your dad and I have never lived in a tent before,"
"Really?" Amanda looked skeptical.
"Really? When have I ever lied to you?"
"But I haven't lived in a tent with you either."
"Tonight, okay?" Seeing her daughter was a little reluctant, Huang Jingping promised without hesitation.
When she finally coaxed the little ancestor to the kindergarten, she smiled and shook her head. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but want to call Feng Yiping.
…………
On the other side, in the NEXTDOOR park, when Feng Yiping got out of the car, Wu Qian came to greet him, "Yiping, the conference call with NAVTEQ President Collins will start soon, and Rubin has been waiting for more than ten minutes."
Rubin? Feng Yiping looked up and saw a shiny forehead at the door on the first floor.
Why hasn't he gone on vacation yet?
"Rubin,"
"Feng," Rubin ran over, "I want to delay you for a few minutes,"
"Let's go upstairs and talk," Feng Yiping looked at the schedule on the schedule handed over by Wu Qian and deleted a few items.
Rubin had already helped to block the elevator door, "Thank you, have you had breakfast?"
"Yes, Feng, because of the rush of time yesterday, I didn't have time to tell you some ideas. After listening to your plan, I thought about it all night last night. I think, some ideas still need to be communicated with you..."
"Sorry," Feng Yiping took out his mobile phone, "What's wrong, your daughter hasn't forgiven you yet?"
After hearing his words, Huang Jingping was so angry that she pulled out the car keys first, and sat in the car to make a phone call attentively, "What do you mean my daughter hasn't forgiven me yet? You have the nerve to do that? Who insisted on setting up a tent on the roof last night? Who insisted on pulling me in the morning..."
Feng Yiping listened to Huang Jingping's complaints with a smile, although he wanted to say, "I think you are also happy, and you didn't object at all,"
Seeing that he didn't respond, Huang Jingping said a lot, and finally felt better, "I have an idea to talk to you,"
"You go," Feng Yiping pointed to the office and motioned Rubin to go first.
Rubin has an idea, you have an idea too, why do everyone have an idea this morning?
"I want to have a son," Huang Jingping said.
Feng Yiping was stunned for a moment, "Okay,"
"Why don't you ask me why I want to have a son?"
"Because it's you who has the baby and I can't, of course you have the final say," Feng Yiping said, and heard the other side panting, and hurriedly made up for it, "This matter is your decision, I will cooperate unconditionally,"
"Humph, I don't want to be angry with you now, my daughter has already made me angry enough, the reason why I want to have another son is because this little girl favors you so much,"
Feng Yiping took a lot of effort to hold back his laughter, is he competing with his daughter? Because his daughter likes him as a father more than her, so she is jealous?
"Of course, I respect your opinion, but, my daughter's mother, have you ever thought about how sad your daughter would be if she heard such words?"
"In addition, I want to remind you that although you gave birth to the child, you can't decide whether it is a boy or a girl, right?"
"In addition, I want to remind you weakly, do you think that a son will definitely be close to his mother?"
"Isn't it?" Huang Jingping said, and then said "Oh".
"Yes, I think you have thought of it, such as Vincent, right?" Feng Yiping tried not to make himself look too proud.
"Hang up!" said the other side angrily.
Listening to the busy tone coming from the other side, Feng Yiping shook his head. Alas, what can he do? That's how children like it!
"Feng," Rubin stood up, "Combined with your arrangement yesterday, I..."
The phone on the table rang again, "Wu Qian,"
"Yiping, Mr. Collins is on the line,"
"Take it right away," Feng Yiping said, "Rubin, you can also listen,"
"Oh," Rubin had to sit down again.
"Feng," Collins' voice came out.
"Hello Collins, it sounds like there is good news?"
"Haha, yes Feng, our negotiations with Nokia are nearing the end," Collins' voice sounded very happy.
Perhaps he was very happy, so he couldn't wait to reveal the answer, "8.1! 8.1 billion US dollars! It's their final offer,"
Rubin opened his mouth again, and Feng Yiping was also stunned for a moment, 8.1 billion? Oh my!
50 million US dollars in 2003, now it will become 810 million US dollars, this feeling, cool!
"Congratulations Collins, I also want to thank you," he couldn't help but stand up.
"I am very happy to serve the shareholders one last time before retiring," Collins said, "To say thank you, the company and I have to thank you, thank you for providing so many useful suggestions,"
"Haha, that's also my job as a shareholder," Feng Yiping sat on the table with his butt, feeling that the table was soft.
"Do you know, Feng, about you, Nokia also made a special trip to talk to us several times during the negotiations. They originally strongly hoped that you could accept some stocks and remain a shareholder of the reorganized company. This is because they also value your strategic vision," Collins said.
Such things are not surprising. No matter how slow Nokia is, it will not ignore Feng Yiping's forward-looking vision.
"Sorry, you know, I have many projects burning money now, and given the current situation, I really need more cash reserves," Feng Yiping said.
Want Nokia's stock? What a joke!
So, at the last board meeting, he specifically proposed that his shares would only be settled in cash.
Even if he had to pay a painful tax, it would be less than the loss of holding Nokia's stock.
However, among NAVTEQ's shareholders, there are very few people who hold the same idea as him. After all, Nokia is now the leader in the mobile phone market, and even Motorola is not its opponent.
Even though the iPhone was released at the beginning of the year and went on sale at the end of June, according to Nokia's financial report, their mobile phone sales in the first two quarters of this year still maintained a high growth trend.
In the second quarter, Nokia's mobile phone shipments accounted for 37.9% of the global mobile phone market share!
Its new shipments exceeded the sum of the new shipments of the other four top mobile phone manufacturers.
Such an achievement, not to mention Apple, even Samsung, which later had the largest global shipments, has never achieved it.
And according to the data disclosed by relevant institutions, in the first two months of the third quarter, although Apple had already shipped a lot, Nokia's mobile phone sales still increased significantly compared with the second quarter.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people at this time, Nokia is still an indestructible giant.
This is evidenced by the fact that it can spend $8.1 billion to acquire NAVTEQ and layout the field of mobile navigation and LBS (location-based services) at this time.
After all, now is a time when many banks are facing liquidity crises, and even Feng Yiping has told the outside world that he hopes to have more funds in his account.
"I think Nokia should be very happy to acquire such an excellent company built by you,"
Nokia's initial offer was 6.5 billion, and now it is 8.1 billion, with an additional return of more than 100 million, Feng Yiping happily praised Collins.
Both parties can be said to be very satisfied.
He hung up the phone, looked out the window, and "whoosh", happily did a few chest expansion exercises.
"Well, Feng," Rubin raised a hand.
