Grace just gave her a blank look.

In fact, in private, people have already started looking for a wet nurse, planning to feed the child together. As for milk powder, she will definitely not feed it. It is best for the child to eat breast milk.

As for himself, as long as he wants, he must be the first one.

He even thought that the nurse he found must be more beautiful, and it would be okay to spend more money.

Next to her was Bryce, who saw her expression and rolled her eyes helplessly.

Simon didn't leave.

In a study room upstairs in the villa, Simon sat down at his desk. Girl A quickly delivered a stack of documents and a pre-booked video conference.

About Nokia.

In addition to discussing the latest quarterly financial report of Nokia, which will be released in the near future, it is mainly another matter.

"In Southeast Asia, Yoma, you must have paid attention to it recently," Simon said, looking at Nokia Chairman and CEO Yoma Ollila on the video call screen: "It's related to South Korea. I've seen it in the past few days." Nokia's supply chain information, next, I need you to try your best to reduce or even cut off the procurement of LCD screens and semiconductor chips and other components from South Korea's Samsung and other manufacturers."

Jorma Ollila, who is far away in Helsinki, was a little surprised: "Simon, I have indeed paid attention to Southeast Asia recently. The currency depreciation of Southeast Asian countries will bring great benefits to our parts procurement. However, you also know that Nokia It took us several years to complete the supply chain collapse crisis due to the rapid growth in the past few years, and I don’t understand why we should do this?”

"It's very simple. I plan to take advantage of this opportunity to expand into the underlying fields such as LCD screens and semiconductors. The layout target is in Asia. Japan was originally the first choice, but this country is too large to be affected by this crisis. Seriously, so I chose South Korea, where related industries have also developed rapidly in recent years. Nokia needs to cooperate with my overall strategy and exert extreme pressure on Korean manufacturers.”

"I see," Jorma Ollila nodded, and after thinking about it, she said, "However, Simon, I don't think it's necessary. LCD screens and semiconductors are both cyclical industries with high technical barriers and fierce competition. Huge, I don't think it's a wise move for the Westeros system to go into those areas."

"My opinion is actually the same as yours," Simon said patiently, "However, knowing that it is very difficult and the risks are high, the Westeros system has no choice. According to my recent judgment through some data, this time After the crisis, whether in North America, Europe, or Asia, there will be another wave of large-scale integration in the electronics industry. After the survival of the fittest, the field of LCD screens and semiconductors will become more and more concentrated in a few large manufacturers. Whether it is to ensure their own supply Chain security, or out of interest considerations, we all have to take the initiative. Yoma, I am explaining this to you now, not to say that I am discussing with you, this is an order, and I need Nokia to come up with a reduction plan within a week Give me."

Jorma Ollila felt the unquestionable gaze of her boss through the screen, and finally hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement, and couldn't help asking: "Tinkber will also cooperate with this plan, right? "

"Of course, not only Tinkber, but also Cisco. In addition, at critical moments, I will lobby IBM and other PC manufacturers to join in."

After hearing this, Jorma Ollila began to mourn for those Korean manufacturers from the bottom of her heart, and said, "There is one more question, Simon, how long will this plan take?"

"One year at the earliest, and no more than two years at the longest."

In my memory, not to mention other countries, South Korea only took two or three years to quickly get out of the crisis, so this operation must be completed within two years.

Jorma Ollila nodded again, and finally said: "Simon, we, I mean counting Tinkber and Cisco, our parts purchase volume is very large. If we reduce the purchase of Korean manufacturers, it is hard to say Will manufacturers in Japan or Europe and the United States take the opportunity to raise prices?"

"This is what you need to consider. However, you just said that the next currency devaluation in Asian countries will greatly reduce our procurement costs. You can transfer more orders to Japan, even if Japan will not have too much money this time." Big trouble, yen depreciation is inevitable."

"If I remember correctly," Jorma Ollila raised her eyebrows slightly: "The United States has been suppressing Japan's electronics industry, especially semiconductors, if we increase purchases from Japan together, don't you worry about Japanese manufacturers? Will it take advantage of the trend to rise again?"

"No," Simon said with certainty: "The goal of weakening Japan has already been achieved. The electronics industry in this country may still maintain its technological advantages for many years, but there is little hope of re-prosperity."

"Simon, I don't understand?"

"My time is precious. If you are interested, you can study the current economic situation in Japan by yourself."

"Okay." Jorma Ollila shrugged slightly: "I will draw up a reduction plan as soon as possible."

After finishing the video call, Simon was thinking about the discussion just now while flipping through the daily briefing on the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia that Girl A had just sent.

It's time to make some preparations for replacing the head of Nokia in the future.

Then he thought of another technology company that is also the core of the Westeros system, Cisco, headed by John Chambers.

In the next five to ten years, the two will definitely need to be replaced.

This is not to say that Simon is dissatisfied with Yorma Ollila for not listening to him just now. In fact, if the executives of the subordinate companies do not have any opinions of their own, Simon will feel that something is wrong.

Mainly, very real long-term considerations.

The two companies have been in charge of the two companies for too long, and the two outstanding professional managers who made great contributions to the rapid rise of the company in the early stage will inevitably fall into mediocrity in the later stage.

This is evident from the development of the two companies.

Nokia, which was once in full swing around the turn of the millennium, later retreated from the mobile phone industry, and even withdrew completely. Until Nokia was sold to Microsoft, although he was no longer in charge of specific affairs, Jorma Ollila was still the chairman of the company .

The decline of Nokia is absolutely inseparable from the long-term power of Jorma Ollila.

Then there is Cisco.

The most stark contrast is Cisco and Huawei.

When Cisco rose rapidly around the world in the 90s, Huawei was just a small company based in China, and was once forced by Cisco's patent lawsuits to almost sell itself.

Then, Huawei began to rise. It not only gained a firm foothold in the field of network equipment, but also expanded its business to communication base stations and later mobile phone manufacturing. Looking at Cisco, after many years, Cisco still guards its own network equipment business. , and almost nothing else.

As for the reason, it is also Chambers who succeeds and Chambers who loses.

John Chambers did not step down as Cisco's CEO until 2015. He has been in charge of Cisco for 20 years. Although he led the company to its peak, he almost missed all other technological outlets outside the field of network equipment manufacturing.

To put it bluntly, these legendary managers who once opened up their territories, almost failed to escape the end of losing their enthusiasm and heading for employment.

Just like countless old kings in history who were wise in the early stage and made a fool of themselves in the later stage.

Thinking of this, Simon did not forget himself.

The development of the Westeros system to its current scale has reached the extreme in the eyes of most people. It would be a lie if Simon said that he was not complacent and slack.

Simon just didn't know if he would become another old foolish king in the future

Then he thought of a group of kids who were born one after another recently.

Gee.

In the future, the property power struggle of the Westeros family will probably be very lively.

After all, this needs to be planned well in advance.

In fact, many ideas have been brewing in Simon's mind.

As for his children, Simon certainly doesn't want to be involved in many rich and powerful families fighting against each other in order to compete for family property in the future. In fact, this matter is also easy to solve. Don’t be like the Gary family that fell apart in the 80s, the famously miserly old Gary took everything to the last moment of his life, left a large inheritance, and let his group of descendants fight for the end Broken blood.

After all, as a human being in two lives, Simon is still very confident that he can handle these things well.

After reading the daily briefing on the Southeast Asian financial turmoil in his hand, and thinking about the future for a while, Simon picked up another document, which came from the resumes of 30 people who had just arrived in the United States for a one-year exchange and study from the two mountains of Beijing Film and Television.

Chapter 1146 is still capital

Chapter 1146 is still the capital Simon arranged an exchange and study plan for the students of Beijing Film Academy of Chinese Opera during his last trip to China. He not only has the idea of ​​helping Chinese movies, but also has the need to accumulate localized talents for the Jinshu Department. selfishness.

At a deeper level, there are considerations to guide the development direction of Chinese films.

Speaking of Chinese movies in the 90s, people who are familiar with this field can often think of one word: the sixth generation.

According to the official definition, because they grew up in the turbulent era when Chinese society was rapidly changing in all aspects of politics, economy, culture, etc., the typical characteristics of the sixth generation filmmakers are "rebellion and reflection". Most of their works focus on realistic themes and pay attention to historical transformation During this period, all social classes in China were confused and at a loss.

This statement is not wrong.

However, in Simon's personal opinion, the reason why the sixth generation of Chinese filmmakers are like this is largely due to the guidance of capital.

During the same period, as China gradually opened up, countries around the world inevitably want to know more about all aspects of this country, and movies are undoubtedly an important display window.Because of the demand, capital followed closely, thus creating most of the sixth-generation directors, including many fifth-generation directors. Most of the funding sources for filming are foreign capital.
