April 12, just as the SAP China business is facing a lot of outside speculation, the former Nokia China vice president of Xiao began to take over Zhang Li, as the SAP China Region president.  At the first media meeting after taking office, Chi Jie more emphasis on his growing background and understanding of the Chinese market, but she did not elaborate on the new strategy or the new target for 3 days. SAP's fourth-quarter earnings figures for 2009 showed net profits slid from € 830 million a year earlier to € 727 million (about $1.02 billion). Total revenue fell 9% to 3.19 billion euros, with software revenues down 15% to 1.12 billion euros.  In China, there have been rumours of performance losses and unrest. Xiao will report directly to Steve Watts, President of SAP Asia Pacific and Japan, while former Chinese president Zhang Li Ginger is responsible for the "rapid growth market in China" and will report to Jimmy Anidjar, president of SAP's fast-growing market. At the meeting, Xiao thanked Zhang Liseng for his previous work and said they would "work closely together".  But neither she nor Steve Watts explained in detail the division of labor between her and Zhang Li. Steve Watts, President of SAP Asia Pacific and Japan, expressed his support for Xiao at the scene.  Steve Watts denied that Zhang Li's departure was due to the performance of China's regional business, stressing the need for China's investment and development. According to the plan, Xiao will be fully responsible for SAP's operations and operations in China, and will focus on the promotion of SAP's enterprise Preset (premise), on-demand selection (On-demand), mobile application (On-device) and other three major types of solutions in China.  Thanks to Xiao's previous experience in such areas as SaaS and Mobile solutions, she is expected to have a new push on SAP's mobile application solutions. Xiao does not give a detailed description of the new strategy and market goals that the media has repeatedly asked.  She said that she was short of time, and believed that she would soon "meet the media again". Xiao says the first thing he can bring to SAP is its understanding of China's business. She said that Nokia's work experience has made it a great achievement in "personhood" work, and what she has to do after taking office is "to consolidate and stabilize my team." "In Nokia, I have a lot of contacts with senior officials in China with experience in managing investment and marketing." "(Wen)
