"Okay, let me leave this plan here, I'll find a suitable opportunity to talk to your senior. But you should also be mentally prepared for the money you should pay, and that is indispensable. You kid is a capitalist, and it is impossible for state-owned assets to be sold to you cheaply, and it will give you face if you don't kill you. Principal Lin joked.

Yu Wenfei smiled happily, with Principal Lin's words, there was basically no problem.

You can let go and talk to IBM, as for Lenovo, wait for the news from the old senior, and just pay for the shares.

However, he still has one more thing to discuss with Principal Lin.

"Principal, one more thing, the chief designer said that computers should start with dolls, right?"

Principal Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Then why are many universities now not allowing college students to buy computers, and they do not provide Internet access to everyone, because in this regard, compared with universities in Europe and the United States, they are too far behind! As far as I know, many college students do not even know how to use computers, and they are not proficient in typing. The world is about to enter an information society, and our university students are isolated from the new era......"

Yu Wenfei said with a "righteous indignant" expression, he is also a college student now, and of course he has to work for the welfare of college students.

This time, he took the opportunity to make computers popular in universities across the country, and even let every college student have his own computer!

Principal Lin frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he replied seriously: "The phenomenon you said does exist, but it is not as exaggerated as you say.

Do you really think I don't know, although the school does not allow students to buy computers, and there is no Internet access in the dormitory, but there are so many Internet cafes outside the school, and they are all college students.

However, the school does not allow students to buy computers for two reasons.

First, many families are not wealthy, and the cost of buying a computer is not low, and the school is afraid that students will have a comparison mentality and increase the burden on the family. Second, I am afraid that students will not have self-control, and after buying a computer, they will not do serious things and only care about playing games and watching movies. ”

It is undeniable that some college students do not have strong self-control and are addicted to games and waste their studies, but most students still have a good attitude towards learning. Isn't it true that schools should actively guide everyone, rather than adopt a one-size-fits-all approach as they do now.

And this approach has not yet worked, young people are psychologically rebellious, and the more the school does not allow them to do anything, the more they want to try. That's why there are so many Internet cafes outside the school, and business is so good. If the school allows students to buy computers and have access to the Internet, people will have more contact, but they may be less obsessed with games and the Internet. Yu Wenfei argued.

Principal Lin nodded, "You have a point, but there is one thing that cannot be solved, and that is the high price of computers. Once the school allows students to purchase computers, it will increase the burden on the parents of students. ”

Yu Wenfei smiled, "After my informatization project is promoted, the price of computers will not be so high." Moreover, as a member of the college students, I can say in advance that there will be a large discount on the premise of benefiting the people on the premise of purchasing computers for students. My plan is to offer educational discounts and provide students with computers at a lower price every year at the beginning of the school season. This can be regarded as a contribution to the informatization process of the university. ”

Principal Lin was moved again, as a student, he really brought surprises to himself repeatedly!

What is social responsibility?

That's it!

Yu Wenfei mentioned the project to benefit the people, the price of computers is so low, it is obvious that his company can no longer make any money.

Now, in order to popularize computers on college campuses, Yu Wenfei once again stated that he wants to provide lower price education discounts, so that every college student can have his own computer, isn't this going to be a loss?

That is, a billionaire like Yu Wenfei has the strength and capital to dare to do this.

Of course, only entrepreneurs with a strong sense of social responsibility and the courage to dedicate themselves will do this willingly!

Yuwenfei also did this for a purpose, college students are the main and most active group of netizens, and don't forget that when college students graduate, they are also the mainstream consumer group in the future.

He wants to cultivate this group of potential consumers in advance, so that the consumer products of Star Technology and the Internet products of Facebook will accompany the growth of college students.

Think about it, buy educational discount computers, mobile phones, tablets and other hardware products provided by Star Technology's companies to access the Internet, and after going online, you will also come into contact with Internet products such as WeChat, Facebook, and Facebook games under the Facebook system. The combination of software and hardware is a truly complete ecological closed loop.

It's okay not to make money or even lose some money now, it's investing in the future!

Single hardware or single software is not a complete ecological chain, it is easy to be clamped by other companies, Yuwenfei wants to build the company model is not Apple Samsung, nor Tencent, Google, Facebook, but a combination of these giant companies!

............

Yu Wenfei is working this side, and on the other side, Zhou Mengyi is not idle.

She also has a heavy responsibility to disrupt the rhythm of Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's PC business, because once Lenovo's management has really made up their minds and raised enough capital to start a formal acquisition of IBM's PC business. Then it will be morally untenable to acquire Lenovo, and maybe the old seniors will also have to consider the impact, so as not to be suspected of picking peaches.

Lenovo itself is the largest computer company in the domestic market share, and there is still some influence in the upper circles.

Fortunately, Lenovo's own strength is limited, and it has been hesitant to acquire IBM's personal computer business.

In fact, since 2001, IBM has been actively promoting the personal computer business department, and after looking around the world, I feel that Lenovo may be the "wronged leader".

So since then, I have been in communication with Lenovo, wanting Lenovo to pay for the purchase of this department.

But the acquisition of this business costs more than one billion dollars, and Lenovo's own assets are not so much, which is typical of "snakes swallowing elephants".

Lenovo has also been thinking about it for three years, and until this year, the company's strength is much stronger than before, and it is also considering going abroad, so it is really seriously considering acquisition.

The two sides also talked several times, but never reached an agreement on the price.

IBM wants to sell out at one time and directly recover a large amount of cash to develop other businesses, although IBM has always had the title of "blue giant" in the PC industry, and it is inseparable from the development history of the entire PC industry, but now, IBM really does not rely on the PC business to make money.

They are now "global information technology and business solutions giants"!

Its core business is now IT services and servers and other high-profit, high-tech value-added fields, while the PC business, due to fierce competition in the market, is losing money year by year.

So, IBM is offering $1.6 billion for the PC business unit!

But Lenovo really can't come up with so much money, and they want to swallow IBM's personal computer business unit, because the domestic market is saturated, and Lenovo continues to expand into foreign markets. In this case, the sales channels that IBM has expanded in decades are too tempting for Lenovo. Of course, IBM's golden signboard coupled with years of technology accumulation is also a big boost to Lenovo, both in terms of popularity and technical level.

This year, Lenovo has also raised money everywhere, but it was not until October that they raised $650 million in cash, and there is really nothing they can do about it.

Therefore, the plan that Lenovo and IBM are talking about now is half cash and half share exchange.

Of course, the transaction price cannot be IBM's $1.6 billion offer, but 1.3 billion.

Lenovo also insisted on one point, that is, at present, except for itself, no other company is willing to take over IBM's personal computer business unit, otherwise, IBM will not wait for itself for more than three years to sell to itself.

IBM is also in a dilemma, on the one hand, it feels that the price of 1.3 billion US dollars is too cheap, and it has suffered a big loss, not to mention that it is half cash and half shares.

They really don't want Lenovo's shares.

But if you don't sell it to Lenovo, who can you sell it to, Dell HP has long made it clear that it will not sell, and no powerful company is willing to enter the PC industry.

This industry has really become a veritable "red ocean" in the past two years, the competition is too fierce, every PC company is not happy, I don't see that even Apple is forced to make music players.

............

In the capital, in the Lenovo building, two key figures of the company are discussing the acquisition of IBM behind closed doors.

Liu Chuanzhi, the founder of Lenovo, was the one who founded Lenovo in an ordinary office building in the capital with more than a dozen technicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and 200,000 yuan supported by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In Lenovo, he is definitely the soul and a spiritual banner of Lenovo Group!

However, by 2003, he was basically in a state of semi-retirement, and most of the company's affairs were handed over to his successor, Yang Yuanqing!

Yang Yuanqing, the second core figure of Lenovo, has taken over the leadership of Lenovo Group since 2001, and the president of the group is also the CEO, which can be described as a monopoly and has won the trust of Chairman Liu!

Oh, speaking of which, Yang Yuanqing is also Yu Wenfei's old senior.

He graduated from Modu Jiaotong University in 86, and then went to the University of Science and Technology of China for a master's degree, and after graduation, he entered Lenovo to work.

After working in Lenovo Group for 11 years, he has also risen from a low-level staff to the position of president and CEO!
