On the plane to the United States, there was no one else in the first class, it was all Yuwenfei and his party.

It's good that this makes it easier for everyone to discuss their work.

Yang Yuanqing spoke with great interest about the upcoming acquisition of IBM's personal computer business unit.

Obviously, after the acquisition, this division is going to be merged into the new Lenovo Group that he leads, so he is also the most excited.

"Mr. Fei, after winning IBM's computer department, our new Lenovo should be among the top three PC manufacturers in the world, on par with HP and Dell, and in two years, it will even surpass them!" Yang Yuanqing said with a smile on his face.

Yu Wenfei smiled faintly and reminded him: "Look at HP's acquisition of Compaq, pay attention, the acquisition is just the beginning, whether one plus one is greater than two, this is the most test of ability." ”

In 2001, Hewlett-Packard acquired Compaq, which was much larger than the new Lenovo Group's acquisition of IBM's personal computer business unit!

Before the merger, HP was the world's second-largest computer manufacturer, while Compaq was the third-largest manufacturer, with annual revenues of $47 billion and $40 billion respectively.

It stands to reason that the combined annual revenue of the two should be as high as $87 billion or more, but this is not the case.

HP and Compaq have considerable overlap in their product ranges. Therefore, after the merger, it is necessary to adjust the product lineup covering the entire field and implement the corresponding system reform at the same time.

The result is a chaotic board of directors where everyone is busy fighting for power and no one is focused on the business.

Yu Wenfei now mentions this example to warn Yang Yuanqing that the acquisition is a double-edged sword, and how to make IBM's personal computer business unit perfectly integrated into the new Lenovo is the most important thing for him, the president, to consider.

For this issue, it is obvious that Yang Yuanqing has also considered it.

He said confidently: "I think the new Lenovo acquisition of IBM and HP's acquisition of Compaq are different, the business lines of Hewlett-Packard and Compaq are basically the same, so after the acquisition, they are faced with the situation of competing products with each other." As for our new Lenovo Group, there is basically no overlap in the business of its three branches. The old Lenovo company is mainly engaged in low-end home computers and peripheral products, while the alien company is mainly engaged in high-end enthusiast game computers. As for IBM's personal computer business unit, that is, the THINK brand, this is mainly high-end business notebooks, supplemented by business hosts. ”

Yu Wenfei nodded slightly, it was certainly not surprising that Yang Yuanqing could see this.

In fact, the reason why he acquired Lenovo Group, Alien and IBM is this, the three do not compete with each other, but complement each other to form a complementary relationship.

This makes it much easier to integrate.

It's easy to acquire, but it's hard to integrate.

Hu Jingjing, who was next to her, came over and said with a smile: "Mr. Fei, shouldn't our company buy a private jet, you have to take civil aviation when you fly abroad, and you don't deserve your identity." ”

Several people next to him laughed and joked.

"Yes, Mr. Fei, your net worth is tens of billions of dollars, buy an Airbus 400 as a private jet, and it will be much more convenient for us to fly abroad in the future." ”

"That's it, airplanes and yachts and the like, the flying always should have been equipped a long time ago, otherwise how to spend so much money. ”

"Boss, I haven't been on a private jet yet, so I'm waiting to get your light later. ”

Yu Wenfei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You guys, I am 10 billion FU Hao, but I am not rich and rich, but negative and negative! My net worth is supported by financing valuation, and the company is not even listed, and I can't find a channel to cash out any shares." When it comes to cash, I really don't have much money in my hand.

Do your own calculations, how much money has been invested by Facebook and WeChat Technology, and now you have made a penny?

The new Lenovo Group has invested more than 20 billion yuan this time, all of which have been used for acquisition, and Huimin Computer will lose billions of dollars later.

As for Facebook Games, I still owe a billion dollars to SoftBank!

Now the money spent by the company is the funds of the shareholders, and if I dare to buy private jets and yachts at this time, it is estimated that several shareholders will be anxious with me. ”

He said this is also a half-truth, it is true that he has little cash in his hand, but if he wants to cash out his shares, he can't find a channel, which is a joke.

Yuwenfei really wants to buy a private jet yacht or something, it's really not difficult, just selling Knorr Supermarket, it will be more than 10 billion!

However, he didn't handle the money, and directly entered the account of Star Technology Company and invested it again.

In addition, most of its companies have not started to make profits.

Not to mention the new Lenovo Group, it is still in the stage of acquisition and integration, coupled with the launch of the Huimin Computer Project, it is really a mess, and there is no hope of profitability in a few years. The more than 20 billion funds invested this time have become acquisition capital and company reserves, and if you want to see profit dividends, I don't know how many years later.

Facebook, Facebook Entertainment, and WeChat Technology are not thinking about making profits, they are still in the stage of continuous investment, and the most important thing at present is to occupy the market, rather than thinking about making money.

The only company that makes money is Facebook Games!

Through the sales of stand-alone games, this period of time can be regarded as a daily profit, and there are already hundreds of millions of net profits. And that's not even counting the "commemorative skins" that have just been launched, the money from the sale of skins is to be used as prize money and charity for this year's WCG tournament, not profits.

However, don't forget, Facebook Games still owes SoftBank Capital a billion dollars in interest-free loans!

This money will have to be repaid sooner or later.

But Yu Wenfei is not worried, Facebook games have not yet begun to break out, at the end of this year, World of Warcraft and CS1.6 will start to be launched, and then it will be a real "cash cow".

Moreover, inspired by the "open the box, sell skins" model launched by the Facebook game platform this time, according to Effie, she has communicated with Blizzard and Villefort, and is ready to change the profit model of the new game on the basis of the original.

Let's not talk about World of Warcraft, it was originally an online game, and it is no exaggeration to say that with the quality of World of Warcraft, it will absolutely crush all the online games on the current market, once it is online, the Facebook game will sit in the company and wait to count the money.

Whether you change the profit model or not, the difference may be that you earn more and earn more!

But to Yu Wenfei's surprise, the new version of CS launched by Villefort this time is said to be online, and the name has been changed to CS ONLINE!

This means that CS has become an online game......

On the basis of the original, it is not technically difficult to change CS into an online game, it is just a change of thinking. In fact, the launch of CF was also around 0607, and CS, the originator of FPS games, was launched several years later than the online mode.

But now Villefort is a subsidiary of Facebook Games, although Yu Wenfei and Effie will not interfere in Welford's company operations, but Villefort's side has been more or less affected.

CS launched the network mode several years in advance, which is influenced by the Facebook game platform.

In the future, Facebook Games will have two "cornucopias" of World of Warcraft and CSOL, so naturally there is no need to worry about its profitability.

If you are optimistic, it may only take a year, or even less, to repay the billion-dollar interest-free loan from SoftBank Capital.

This time, Effie went to the United States to discuss the introduction of these two games into the domestic market.

In the past, when foreign game manufacturers released masterpieces, they often ignored the mainland market, and even if they were introduced to China, it was generally a long time later than abroad.

But now it's different, Facebook Games has acquired Blizzard and Villefort, and built its own online game store, which is also the largest company in the global game manufacturer circle.

Therefore, if there are any new stand-alone masterpieces or the like, China can basically keep it online at the same time as abroad.

Especially in those years, the control of the introduction of games was still very relaxed, not like later generations, foreign games wanted to enter the country, it was really hard, and it was commonplace to wait for a year or two. The game also often asked to be revised, and as a result, the game was changed beyond recognition.

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

Thinking of his debts, even Yu Wenfei couldn't help but have a headache, he understood very well why many founders of Internet companies often became minority shareholders when the company went public.

There is no way, the Internet industry is really a money-burning industry, when it does not form a sufficient scale, or even when it is not monopolized in the market, it does not dare to charge for profits, because it is afraid that competitors will take advantage of it.

Tencent's QQ is the best example, if it weren't for the "sao routines" it played in the first two years, what registration fees, and what various advertising pop-ups, it gave WeChat enough opportunities.

If QQ honestly improves the user experience and seizes the market at full speed, there is really nothing to do with WeChat.

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Wenfei found that although he had many companies and a very bright future, there was only one Facebook game that could make money in a short time.

I can't really count on the rest.

Facebook Entertainment can also make money in the future, but in the short term, it is impossible to launch the charging system, because the layout and monopoly of the market have not yet been completed.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to Effie and said, "Mr. Ai, your task is very difficult, you must be mentally prepared." ”

Effie was a little surprised and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Fei, is there any task for me?"

"Haha, of course there is, that's to make money!" Yu Wenfei joked.

He basically hasn't asked much about the Facebook game recently, Effie is now also the vice president of the group, the CEO of Facebook Games, and his ability has also been exercised, plus the assistance of a group of executives, he doesn't need Yu Wenfei to worry about anything.

Hearing Yu Wenfei talk about making money, Effie rolled her eyes and took out a document.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
