The vision of venture capitalists

Don't touch Nokia! John Doerr was deep in thought. After bidding farewell to Lin Feng, John Doerr looked thoughtful. Originally, his plan was to cover his position in Nokia, and he even decided to make a plan to suppress Nokia's stock, and then

See if it is possible to invest in Nokia and become one of its shareholders. Although this plan sounds unbelievable, in today's era of big mobile as mentioned by Lin Feng, everything is possible.

However, Lin Feng was so cautious about his actions that John Doerr had to think carefully. However, since John Doerr is the most famous venture capitalist in the United States, he will naturally not believe anyone's words easily. He will make any decision.

Decisions are definitely made after careful consideration and careful consideration.

In this world, people can trust others, but they can only rely on themselves. In Chinese, the so-called mountains fall on their backs, and trees fall on their backs. No one can always be relied on. In this world, if you want to be strong,

Then the only belief in your heart is that you can only rely on yourself.

Or if you have friends, parents, wife and children, they may be able to give you support, but at any time, as a strong person, you must first rely on your own abilities. Otherwise, you will be eliminated by this society sooner or later.

The question that John Doerr is thinking about now is how good Nokia's 'N97' is, and whether it can be compared with 'Fuxi' and 'iphone'. Of course, even if the hardware can be compared, what about its software?

The 'iphone' is currently 'tepid', and the biggest failure lies in the software. It has not kept up with Lin Feng. Lin Feng has overwhelmed the 'iphone' with only five game software. So Nokia has comparable products

Software?

John Doerr's connections began to penetrate. Although Nokia is a Finnish company, far away from the United States, this does not mean that John Doerr cannot dig out the information he wants in Finland. Especially compared to businessmen.

It is said that doing things is much more convenient and simpler than doing things in government departments. Everything is just money.

In this world, there are few things that cannot be done with money. Soon, John Doerr got a model of the 'N97' engineering machine, as well as detailed parameters. It is impossible to get a physical engineering machine, and this Nokia management

It was still very strict. But there was no problem in spending 100,000 US dollars to get an engineering machine model and detailed parameters. But when the actual engineering machine model was obtained, John Doerr's eyes lit up.

Although this "N97" is thicker and larger, its body size is 117.2 × 55.3 × 15.9 mm, and according to the parameters, its final weight is as high as 165 grams, while the same model of 'Fuxi',

115.2x58.6x9.3mm, it can be said that this N97 is slightly narrower than the 'Fuxi' except for the width. It is completely surpassed in other aspects. However, the one thing that makes the 'N97' eye-catching is that it is not only a touch screen, but also a sliding screen.

Cover the machine. After sliding it sideways, the full keyboard operation buttons will be exposed.

For John Doerr, this design is a highlight. Although he has a 'Fuxi' and an 'iPhone' in his hands, the on-screen buttons seem a little inconvenient, and this full keyboard seems to feel better in the hand.

Moreover, from his point of view, this mobile phone has been developed for so many years and has always had a keyboard. Suddenly, a touch screen phone without a keyboard has brought something new to people, but is it really suitable? Maybe it will return to the mainstream in the future.

Maybe. At least John Doerr thinks so.

As for the parameters, this is what makes John Doerr more confident in Nokia. That is, although its screen is still a 3.5-inch screen, its resolution has been increased to 360×640 pixels, which is better than that of 'Fuxi' and 'iphone'

''s 320X480 pixels are much higher. The higher the pixels, the more delicate the picture on the screen. In this regard, 'N97' is enough to overwhelm Lin Feng's 'Fuxi' and 'iphone'.

What makes John Doerr even more excited is that the camera equipped with the "N97" is actually 8 million pixels. This is currently the top camera in the mobile phone industry, and it is also certified by Carl Zeiss. Regarding this, John Doerr

I even sighed. You know, this Carl Zeiss is Lin Feng's company. As a result, Lin Feng himself is equipped with 5 million pixels, but Nokia's "N97" is equipped with 8 million pixels. This is enough to defeat Lin Feng.

Of course, the only trouble is that the front camera only has 300,000 pixels, which is lower than Lin Feng’s 2 million pixels. But for taking pictures, the rear camera is mainly used.

As for software, John Doerr received news that Nokia has teamed up with several major software manufacturers to launch several games similar to "Fruit Ninja" and "Plants vs. Zombies". I believe that once they are launched, they will immediately shake the world.

Lin Feng’s dominance in mobile games.

Obviously, Nokia's "N97" has both hardware and software capabilities, and even surpasses Lin Feng's "Fuxi" ability.

However, although John Doerr has made a decision, he still took this N97 model machine and detailed parameters to his consulting team for analysis to see if it can be used during the current low period of 'Nokia' before launching the "N95".

Nokia's share price is as high as US$45 per share. After the disastrous failure of the "N95" and the strong attacks by Lin Feng's "Fuxi" and "Apple's" iPhone, Nokia's current share price has fallen to US$21. It has fallen by half.

And this is usually a good time to go all-in on the position.

Of course, whether to buy a stock must take into account whether it has a strong revitalization product. And this "N97" is obviously a strong product.

Not long after waiting, John Doerr's advisory team gave the answer - N97 hardware completely defeated 'Fuxi', and the software was not far behind. Coupled with Nokia's more than ten years of brand effect, even if it cannot surpass 'Fuxi'

, will certainly be able to revive Nokia's reputation. The stock price will at least return to around $40.

The current stock price is 21 US dollars. If it returns to 40 US dollars, that one share can earn nearly 20 US dollars, 100% profit, which is crazy. For a businessman, 50% profit is crazy. Not to mention 100% profit.

.

John Doerr began to allocate funds, and his total funds totaled more than 10 billion US dollars. Of course, as the most successful venture capitalist in the United States, why does he have so little funds? This is actually a lot. He started from scratch.

In just over twenty years, it is already very good to be able to accumulate so much wealth. And his success lies not in how much money he makes, but in how many successful companies he has invested in. This is what makes him famous

Reasons in the United States. As for why he does not have as much wealth as Buffett, one is that his investments are all diversified, and the second is that Buffett is a stock god, while John Doerr is just a successful venture capitalist. Can mortals compare with gods?

As for Lin Feng, don’t use it for comparison! This nickname is Fengshen, which is even more godly than Buffett. If this is described according to fantasy novels, then Buffett is a minor god, and Lin Feng is infinitely close to the main god. In the middle

The difference is huge.

"Allocate all the funds to buy 'Nokia'. By the way, some news was released in advance, saying that the N97 research has encountered setbacks and may not be developed on time. Also, its software supplier seems to be interested and is ready to join Lin

Wind." John Doerr ordered.

Since it wants to acquire, it will inevitably cause market fluctuations. Currently, Nokia's total share capital is 3.7 billion shares, and the market circulating shares exceed 40%. The current share is 21 US dollars. If he fully enters the market, he can acquire at least 7% of the shares and occupy the circulating shares.

17.5% of the total. Such a large-scale move will inevitably attract the attention of Nokia executives. Therefore, John Doerr must try to reduce the attention from Nokia executives. Releasing rumors, especially the rumors about "N97", is undoubtedly the most

appropriate.

Of course, when this rumor comes out, the stock price will always fluctuate. Especially for John Doerr's rumor, Nokia's stock price will fall by at least about 3%. This will allow him to buy more.

Soon, news spread on the market that the development of the "N97" had encountered setbacks, and the news came extremely violently. Not only that, it was rumored that several of Nokia's software suppliers were even considering no longer supplying Symbian systems, but instead

Dedicated to Lam Feng or Apple. When these two news came out, the shock to Nokia can be imagined. Especially, this came from a well-informed person on Wall Street, which shocked the market even more. Immediately, Nokia's

The stock price suffered a 2% drop and plummeted at the opening.

Fortunately, Nokia President Kallasvuo came forward immediately to clarify the facts. He also announced the exact launch time of the "N97", which will be this month, that is, June 18. At the same time, it was also announced that the "N97" will be launched with the "N97"

"Several games on the market.

"Subway Surfers", "Defend the Carrot", "Cut the Rope" and several other games. The announcement of these two news stabilized the market. However, John Doerr took the opportunity to absorb more than 300 million shares of Nokia.

At a price of 20.56, 300 million shares were absorbed.

Of course, John Doerr's behavior naturally attracted the attention of Nokia. After all, 300 million shares were suddenly exchanged. Even if it was deceived for a while, it would not be deceived for a lifetime. Immediately, Nokia made an appointment with John Doerr.
