Chapter 541: value
Into Caroline's room, Rachel finally had no need to wear a lady, and she took a sigh of relief and stumbled on the big bed in the girl's bedroom. She is only glad to wear a long skirt today. If it is a large sweater that has been worn in the past, plus washed jeans, sitting in a room or a serious aristocratic man and woman, it is estimated that it will be difficult to die.
Caroline didn't care about Rachel's appearance in her own bed. Instead, she envied her arbitrarily. The girl moved the small stool next to the dressing table and kneeled on the bed with her little hand on the chin and looked at Rachel: "Ritchell Are you still hungry? I just saw that you only ate a little. You usually can't eat so little."
Rachel rolled over and faced Caroline on his side, reaching out and pinching his face on the girl's face: "You have a little trouble, I want to hurry back to London now."
Caroline’s expression was a little embarrassing at the beginning: “Is it not good enough for our family?”
"Of course not," Rachel quickly denied: "I just feel that we don't seem to be a world person, I am still more free to stay in my world."
Carolyn heard the words of Rachel, and for a moment, the long eyelashes smashed a few times, and a layer of mist appeared in the sparkling scorpion, and the crystal tears fell and fell. Seeing this situation, Rachel immediately panicked and quickly sat up and asked, "What's wrong, Caroline, don't cry, I just just..."
Caroline once again showed the look of the injured kitten, leaning on Rachel's arms, perhaps because of the reason at home, the girl did not cry, twitched and said: "No... No. Cher, just, just when he refused me yesterday, he said so, I just don't understand. What happened?"
Rachel gently stroked the girl's back, Caroline cried at the airport for a while, and after returning to the manor, it seemed to have returned to a state of carefreeness. Rachel initially thought she had been from Ereli. Ke Williams’s refusal came over and I didn’t expect the girl to hide her mind in her heart. It is still so shallow that it can't stand the touch.
"Carolyn, don't cry, tell me what happened yesterday, you are so stupid. I definitely understand it wrong, I will help you analyze it."
This time, the girl did not hide it, and told Rechelle intermittently about what happened yesterday.
"We went to the Museum Island in Berlin yesterday, and the Brandenburg Gate... I asked him about the movie. He said it was "Titanic" and then told me the story of the movie... He said Jack and Rose are not a person of the world, they are more suitable for leaving a good memory, not for a long time together... Then he will let me go back to my life... and, still There is that woman... she is very beautiful, beautiful than me..."
Caroline finished talking. Rachel helped the girl to manage some scattered bangs and said: "I think Eric Williams thinks that you are too simple, not suitable for the Hollywood environment, only to reject you. To know, Hollywood But it is very confusing."
"But I think Eric..."
"Well, even if he is barely a gentleman. So he didn't continue to lie to you this silly girl, so forget him, maybe you can go back to Cambridge in advance. Don't think about him anymore, just when he is in your life. A passer-by, do you remember that we went to see Eric Williams’s "Return to Seventeen" in the year of my freshman year? I think there is a line that says very well: girls are young. When, I always have to go through a few bastards..."
Carolyn immediately interrupted Rachel’s words: "He is not a bastard."
Rachel laughed: "I know that he is a bad guy."
Caroline was stunned by Rachel's tone in a ridiculous tone: "But, Rachel, I am... I just like him."
"Who didn't like a person? In fact, I still secretly liked Malone. Brando, but he is now a bad old man."
"You know that what we say is different."
"There is no difference in this book. So, you still try to forget about it. Maybe you can go back to Cambridge in advance. Like many times, you can get a few books in the book, and you will pass the time without knowing it. Maybe you wake up someday and forget him, and then you may feel that your reaction today is so stupid."
Carolyn silently listened to Rachel’s words and said, “Rickel, I don’t want to go to school anymore.”
"Why, isn't your father no longer stopping you from continuing to graduate?"
"It doesn't matter to Dad, I just want to... I want to go out to work like you, I don't want to do anything that I don't understand."
Rachel couldn't help but pinch the girl's face: "I think it's alright."
Carolyn heard that Rachel did not expect anything from his decision. He took a small nose and was not convinced: "I can do very well. I will go out to find a job tomorrow."
"Then you have to get the consent of your parents first, I think they heard your decision, it is estimated that you will be forbidden at home," Rachel said, Carolyn is a child and a few brothers carefully The little girl who cares for the ivory tower has never touched the outside people and things since she was young. If she pushes such a simple little girl into the society, there is nothing to throw a little sheep into the wolves. the difference.
Rachel believes that he can see this, and Caroline’s family must understand. The last time the girl left home for her studies in Cambridge, she was barely within the tolerance of the Wilson family, but if Caroline said her decision, 90% would be forbidden by the countess. She knows that aristocratic girls like Caroline generally choose to marry aristocrats or wealthy children who are comparable to their family, and then, like Mrs. Wilson, quietly be a housewife, this is the safest for her. Life track.
Caroline seemed to understand the family's possible reaction, and she was somewhat lost. She grabbed Rachel's arm tightly and suddenly said, "Rickel. Are you staying with me today?"
"No, you are twenty-two years old, not two years old," Rachel refused.
"But if you are not here. Father and mother will definitely ask me about... about Eric, I don't know how to answer them."
Rachel looked at Caroline's pitiful face and suddenly softened his heart: "Okay, but I will definitely leave tomorrow morning."
"Would you take me out with you?"
"Even if I think, you can't go."
"I can hide in the trunk. I have seen such a plot in the book."
Rachel couldn't help but smile again: "Then I will be wanted by a London police officer to abduct a girl."
......
"Eric. This is the statistics of Nokia's financial situation in recent years. Also, this is Nokia's current list of shareholders, the most important one is the National Bank of Finland, and there are some German and French capitals. I also found out today that Nokia’s current ceo Joma Ollila is not in Finland. Others should be in New York. It is said that it is for Nokia financing. I have been there for a month. I will call you. Going to China, people are going to inquire."
In the hotel where Erik is in the heart of Berlin. His suite has become a temporary office, with a lot of documents collected in recent days.
After seeing Nokia's latest 1011 mobile phone from Claudia, Eric quickly started the details of the company.
Nokia is an old company with a long history in Finland. Originally started with papermaking, and gradually began to get involved in rubber, fiber optic cable, telecommunications, television and other industries. In the 1980s, it was one of the best diversified giants in Finland. Of course, this ‘big Mac’ is only for Finland, a small Nordic country with a population of only 5 million.
In the late 1980s, there were too many fields involved. The group business was in chaos and Nokia began to decline rapidly. In 1988, the then Nokia ceo Cali Kelamo also swallowed himself under the pressure of Nokia's business failure. Nokia’s stalls have also become worse and worse, and several leaders have been replaced in just a few short years.
At present, Nokia's ceo Joma Ollila was originally the president of Nokia's mobile phone department. After being appointed as the Nokia leader, he began to bet all of Nokia's chips in the mobile phone department, and in recent years will be Nokia. A lot of the business has been stripped out.
Nokia has successfully launched a gsm mobile phone 1011, which is what Eric saw in Claudia a few days ago. Eric knows that the gsm network is the main mobile phone network communication system for more than ten years, so the direction of Joma Ollila's choice is not wrong.
However, because of the disintegration of the Soviet Union in previous years, the Soviet economy apparently collapsed, and Finland, as a Nordic country close to the Soviet Union, joined the Warsaw Pact camp under the coercion of the Soviet Union in the past few years. As a result, the Soviet Union’s economy collapsed without exception. In Finland, this 'pool fish', Finland has been in a state of economic stagnation for several years. Although the Nokia 1011 has received a good market response, Nokia still suffers from insufficient development funds. In the midst of difficulties.
From the information in front of him, Eric also found that in 1991, the year before Joma Ollila took office, Nokia also tried to sell the mobile phone department to Ericsson in neighboring Sweden, but it was Ericsson refused with a nearly ridiculous attitude, and thus can also see the contempt for the entire European capital market for Nokia.
In the process of reading the materials, Eric found another interesting thing. Among the top three mobile phone giants in the world in the 1990s, except for the American Motorola, the other two appeared in the Nordic countries. Among the small countries, Nokia belongs to Finland, and Ericsson is a Swedish company.
After careful study, Eric quickly discovered the reason. The small Nordic countries such as Finland and Sweden, because of the small number of people, and the mountainous hills in the field, make the cost of developing wired telephone communication in these small Nordic countries extremely expensive. These Nordic countries are paying more attention to the development of wireless communications. As early as 1981, when many nationals were even strangers to mobile phones, Finland had built a nationwide mobile phone network. Because of the focus on mobile communication technology, it has created mobile phone giants such as Ericsson and Nokia.
"I have already made a few calls with Chris, yes, have you sent this information back to New York?"
"Yes, every time I sort out a piece of information, I will send it back to New York separately." Allen nodded and suddenly said: "Eric, I think if you are interested in mobile phone companies, maybe you can Trying to invest in Sweden's Ericsson, or investing in local Motorola, in my opinion, the current Nokia does not have much investment significance, Joma Ollila is because they can not find investors in Europe, they have to far Going to the United States, and from the fact that he has been in the United States for more than a month without any news, federal investors seem to be less enthusiastic about Nokia."
Eric looked through the financial information of Nokia in recent years, and said: "You said that Motorola and Ericsson are both companies that have emerged. Such companies are not short of foreign investors like us. We are now intervening. Going in, you can't get too many benefits, and Nokia is different. We are investing in Nokia now. For this troubled company, it's all in the snow. Oh, you should understand it in the snow."
Allen endured the urge to turn his eyes and nodded. "I certainly know, but since other investors are very optimistic about this company, I feel..."
Allen didn't say anything anymore, but Eric did not mind to answer: "You think that I am such a layman, there is definitely no reason to intervene, right?"
Allen smiled slyly, but nodded slightly.
Claudia has been serving as the temporary secretary of Eric for these days, but she has done a lot of things, and the girl also likes how Eric is working.
Listening to the dialogue between the two people, Claudia couldn’t help but say: "Allen, actually, I don’t think that what you said is completely correct. I just used Nokia’s latest mobile phone product, or when I returned to Europe. A good friend recommended it to me. She said that the quality of this mobile phone is very good. In this case, Nokia definitely has the value of its investment." (To be continued)
