Zapatero do your shoes?

And speaking of the president of the government if the union of manufacturers of shoes and boots. Refranero say that Spanish is very wise, but what would have happened if all shoemakers were devoted exclusively to their shoes?. Consider the story of a company that began manufacturing paper and rubber boots Nokia. You can read the full document here.

Nokia was founded in 1864 near the river Nokia in Finland, and after "aprendeher" the secrets of the manufacture of paper pulp, won the bronze medal at the World Fair in Paris. This was the first time where the Nokia brand began to be recognized, the second major milestone of its founder was to begin implementing the branding on all its products, in fact according to many marketing gurus, this was one of the first cases of branding Worth is noteworthy in the history of marketing and iso and putting the logo on each of their products, even in industrial

After the Second World War Finland was forced to pay reparations to the USSR by war and Nokia had to start providing cable as part of these "repairs" at a time came to take 25% of its production for the Soviet government and ended up being its biggest customer.

For strategic decision and at that time began to "take off" of the client and begin their first communications products. The president at that time was Kari Kairamo the "initiator" of this change in focus. In fact 1987 was the main electronics business of Nokia.

Computers, monitors, televisions, communications equipment, modems, etc.. With many acquisitions in the road, became the first in many of these branches.

In 1992, Nokia introduced the "father of the GSM cellular" Nokia 1011y from there begins to grow at impressive rates.

The rest of the story, I know that and we are living.

Currently Nokia is one of the largest in Europe and a good barometer of consumption. Yesterday presented results and not convinced the market that brought down the stock exchange by 14%.

The technology company plummeted 13.45% in the stock market in Finland after announcing that its net profit rose 25% in the first quarter to 1,250 million euros. Analysts on average were expecting 1380 million, but have been disappointed by the increase in costs and profit forecasts and warnings on the impact of the euro in the accounts.

We see that the strong euro starts to move bill. Across the pond, another superempresa that we did our homework properly and Google presented results beat forecasts. All indications are that today will fly on the stock exchange.

Here in Spain we have the government today approved the "emergency plan" to revive the economy, at a cost of 10.000 million. Not bad for a crisis that they said does not exist.

And as Friday, with just the comments of the week (the most voted by readers). Usually a highlight, but this time two worthwhile:

The gangsters are certainly better suits.

The other day I went into one of their "home loan".
I asked a lot of money (€ 250,000) to buy a mousetrap (€ 200,000 + 10% costs) and a large car (€ 30,000).

In principle "Tony el Gordo" I was thinking that I look crazy! I had no money!, Meditated for a while and soon saw that I would be in his arms for a laaarga season.

I make a few calls, and in a few days early to get some papers said that the trap was worth € 312,500, this mafia thought that big, so it seemed that I gave it all ...

I asked thousands of links (payroll resident, home insurance, life insurance ...) and still made me feel I did a great favor.

It gave me a pat on the face and with a smile and an eye cucando me a pen to sign the papers that I tie to the mafia for 40 years.
He was 34 years and would be up to 74 years (and travel to Benidorm IMSERSO what?) Pay € 1205 per month (a total of € 578,400 ... ufff more than twice!)

What they told me it was not, they also related to other major mafias throughout Europe, could change my monthly payment of debt, and make it go up every year ...

I was at his feet. Each month religiously paid my debt.

I thought that could happen if it did not come ... sure to remove the trap and still could continue even after asking me to settle the debt.

But I thought of a solution .. How easy! Only had to sell my mousetrap by € 240,000 (which I needed to be amortized) and I am rid of them.

A mi me the mousetrap cost € 200,000 and put it on sale for € 240,000 (Of course the big car and put the cost) but was not much good money to people who knew him had risen over the selling price to make your home years.

Inexplicably nobody asked for my mousetrap ... but if only one seat and 20% more expensive than 2 years ago (10% per year is not thought ...) Do not ever rising price of ratoneras?

Even now ... I do not trap out of it.
My vacation is the same year after year ... the people of my parents.
The white markings are brilliant, especially the "colaGuay" and "mahonYesa"

And when you step in front of that home loans "even think that should never have entered ...

A greeting and good days!

(more ...)
