Simon just knew that a group of girls came to Los Angeles. He didn't have the time to pay attention to the other details, and the people below were all arranged. He heard the girl A mentioned it, and just smiled and shook his head: "No need, I've been so busy in the past few days, but I don't have time to deal with them."

Simon's busyness is mainly due to the birthdays of the six little guys who were born in groups last year.

Speaking of yesterday, after celebrating his birthday to Inas's little Toby in New York, Simon flew back overnight, but tonight, he still has to set off again, and his destination is Milan, Italy.

Cara Bruni put her little guy Christopher's birthday in a mountain mansion on the shore of Lake Como.

He also said that the autumn scenery in Milan is beautiful now.

Balabala.

Simon did not object either.

When Girl A heard Simon mention this, she paused and couldn't help saying, "Boss, there is no need to let herself run like this."

Simon opened a Nokia investment plan to increase its expansion of the Latin American market. Hearing this, he looked up at Alison and smiled, "Putting aside other things, I still like the feeling of being able to stay in Milan in the morning when people are still in Los Angeles and staying in Milan at night. I personally think that this is actually a very romantic thing. A, you have to know that if a person's life is just trapped in one or a few places, it is really a very sad thing. The world is so big."

When the man said this, of course, A had no objection. She lowered her head and started to help her boss organize the desk.

Simon glanced at the girl opposite, smiled, and signaled to her side: "Come, stand here."

Understand this is called red sleeves and fragrant.

Girl A obediently turned the desk and stood beside her boss.

Simon continued to flip through the documents with one hand and put the waist of the girl beside him with the other, feeling Xinran's daughter's fragrance, and deliberately sighed: "This is also a great joy in life."

Girl A wanted to snuggle over, but the man didn't give any instructions, so she stood obediently, hesitated a little, and whispered: "Boss, I was jealous just now."

"If you take the initiative to admit your mistake, you won't be punished."

“…”

Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, and the girl A still spoke: "I want to punish you."

"Then, go to Milan with me tonight and punish you on the way."

"Um."

He agreed with a little satisfaction in his tone, glanced at the documents his boss was flipping through, and took the initiative to find a topic to delay the time he could stay by his side: "Boss, Nokia has developed rapidly in recent years, but you don't seem to be satisfied?"

Nokia has surpassed Motorola in the past few years and has become the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer. It currently accounts for more than 40% of the global mobile phone market.

Not only that, Nokia is now the world's largest communication base station manufacturer, and also has more than 30% of the global market share.

Logically speaking, it is difficult for anyone to pick on Nokia with such achievements.

However, as someone around me, Girl A can clearly realize that her boss is obviously not very satisfied.

When Simon heard Girl A say this, he nodded, sorted out a little, and said, "Nokia, well... has reversed some of the positioning of the two major business segments."

In fact, I can still guess some of my boss’s thoughts, but Girl A pretended not to know: “What?”

"Mobile phones and base stations are two major business segments," Simon said: "Let's talk about mobile phones first. Although Nokia's market share is still expanding, on the other hand, the average price of its mobile phone products is rapidly declining. This may be conducive to occupying more markets, but it also means a rapid decline in the profit level of stand-alone machines. I don't want Nokia to become a cheap mobile phone manufacturer. In addition, the opposite is true for base stations. However, what I hope is that Nokia can occupy more markets and snipe other competitors through low-price strategies. You should know that the base station business actually represents the formulation of standards for communication technology. The larger this part of the market share, the more fundamental standard advantages we will have in the entire mobile communications industry."

After hearing her boss say that, A lit his head, but said, "Businessman, Nokia's choice is also in line with the market trend."

Simon nodded slightly.

Of course, I understand.

The current 3G network is still under construction, and the popularity of mobile Internet is still very low. Therefore, semi-smartphones such as iBerry produced by Tinkobaier are far from reaching the mainstream level of the market.

Functional machines are the mainstream.

Traditional feature machines, even under the promotion of Westeros system, have gradually added digital music player functions or photo-taking functions, but due to price and other factors, similar products are also in the early promotion stage, and their functions are relatively simple and ordinary feature machines that are only used to answer calls or send and receive SMS, which is the mainstream.

In such a market environment, it is not easy for functional machines to make differences.

Therefore, in addition to ensuring solid basic functions, low-price strategies have become the best solution for a mobile phone manufacturer to expand the market.

That's exactly what Nokia is doing.

Although it has many high-end flagship products, Nokia now has more than 40% of the global market, most of which are composed of low-priced basic feature machines. Moreover, Nokia is continuing to launch cheaper mobile phones, thus continuously lowering the average price of the entire mobile phone business.

Correspondingly, the average profit level is also declining.

On the other hand, Nokia, along with several other Nordic communication manufacturers, stood out in a small corner because of its own market environment, which led to the rapid development of mobile communications. In the stage of converting analog communications to digital communications, manufacturers such as Nokia and Ericsson were lucky enough to obtain a large number of digital communication technology patents.

Until many years later, these manufacturers were actually still refining this part of their old capital.

Compared with the low-price strategy of mobile phone products, Nokia's base station business has relatively high-price strategy, which is just because of technology monopoly.

The West does not have the habit of trying to make the product to bargain once it breaks through a certain technology. Since it has technological advantages, of course it is necessary to make more money.

This is something Simon doesn't want again.

After all, Simon knew that later, a number of Western communication equipment manufacturers were beaten by several Chinese giants. If Europe and the United States had not been able to overturn the table later, there would have been no such thing as Nokia, Ericsson and other companies.

In general, it is obviously not a long-term solution to the pricing strategy that seems to conform to the market's choices.

Perhaps the low price trend of feature phones is difficult to reverse, but Simon thinks that it can be changed in terms of basic base station equipment.

After continuing to chat with Girl A for a while, Simon made a decision and happened to ask Europe. This time he would take a chance to Finland and have a good talk with Nokia's head Yoma Olila.

After finishing his day's work, Simon returned to the Dumei Point Manor, had dinner, and set off again at around 8 o'clock. He boarded his own Boeing 767 at Los Angeles International Airport and flew directly to Milan, Italy.

It took about 12 hours to travel, including the 9-hour time difference, and arrived in Milan, it was the afternoon of October 21.

Some little guy's birthday party happens to be evening.

This made Simon very satisfied.

The lively birthday party lasted until late at night, and a nominal little protagonist had already fallen asleep, and the carnival continued.

Italian parties are always lively.

Moreover, even though Cara Bruni had been by Simon's side, his intention was quite obvious, Simon's pocket was still stuffed with notes with phone numbers in his phone number.

This is what Girl A gave to her boss the next morning.

In the mountain villa in the early morning of autumn.

A woman drank a lot of alcohol last night and was tortured until the early morning. It was obviously impossible for her to get up too early today.

Simon still slept until seven o'clock.

Probably because of the time difference.

However, I am in good health and don’t feel tired.

For breakfast, choose a terrace in the mountain villa, which just faces the lake, mountains and sunset from near to far.

After having breakfast with her boss, A took out a dozen of note with the phone number written on it.

This was discovered last night when tidying up your boss's coat.

Simon also looked through with great interest, and the girl A next to him helped to recall the memories.

Speaking of which, the Italian girl is still very in line with Simon's aesthetic, such as a Golden Rose Cave Princess who is still in the collection.

Moreover, over the years, Simon has also discovered that Italian girls can be divided into two types, one is Latin style, with a hot body and dark skin color, while the other is an Eastern European style. The biggest feature is that their skin is very white and their facial features are soft, which is very close to the aesthetics of Orientals. For example, the Golden Rose Cave Princess is a typical example.

Obviously, Simon prefers the latter.

As for the once famous Monica Bellucci, it is probably somewhere in between.

In addition, more well-known Italian models often prefer the latter style. After all, if you want to go to the catwalk, you must have enough hairpins, and Latin girls with bulging fronts and tilted backs are not suitable.

Discussing with Girl A like this is a rare leisure time.

Of course, there was no result in the end.

After all, the guests last night were basically the result of a woman's screening, and obviously they would not deliberately invite the opposite sex who might become her enemy.

So until after nine o'clock, Bruni got up. After the woman had breakfast that was already late, everyone rushed to Lake Como to row and fish together, and lunch was solved directly on the boat. Of course, they would definitely not bring someone who was just one year old.

After a day of fun in Milan, Simon set off again the next morning and flew to Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
