Chapter 690: Extremely touted

In the past, the idea of Lian wanting to acquire IBM's personal computer business was only spread on a small scale in the industry.

Moreover, this matter has dragged on for several years, and I haven't seen Lenovo really take over IBM's personal computer business, and slowly everyone is almost forgetting about it.

Later, after Yuwenfei acquired Lenovo Group, no one mentioned this matter.

The recent news focus on Lenovo Group and Yuwenfei is all focused on the Huimin computer launched by the new Lenovo Group.

Everyone was amazed at Yu Wenfei's generosity, and they were all calculating how much money he had invested, so no one thought that New Lenovo would make a big deal and spend a huge amount of money to directly win the IBM personal computer business!

That's IBM, Big Blue!

Maybe the acquisition of 1250 million US dollars is not an amazing amount, after all, Yuwenfei also spent more than 9 billion yuan when he acquired Lenovo Group, which is almost 1.2 billion US dollars.

But the meaning is completely different!

Therefore, after the news came from the other side of the ocean, the domestic news media reported it for the first time.

In particular, the mainstream media, including authoritative media such as People's Daily and Guangming Daily, did not hesitate to interpret the deep meaning of New Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's personal computers.

"Raise the prestige of our country! New Lenovo officially stepped out of the country and went to the world!"

"The Blue Giant Falls, the Red Giant Rises!"

"New PC Giant, New Lenovo Group!"

"Acquisition of IBM, how big is Yu Wenfei's ambition?"

"No. 1 in China? No., New Lenovo's goal is to be No. 1 in the world!"

The new Lenovo Group is a domestic company, and IBM is a giant in the global PC industry, which is a case of a Chinese company acquiring a large American company.

At that time, not long after the reform and opening up, the self-confidence of the country, including the people, was not so sufficient, and any domestic company or individual who made even a little achievement in the world would be highly sought after by the domestic media, not to mention this kind of acquisition of foreign industry giants.

Therefore, even the authoritative media personally touted a wave of new Lenovo Group.

As for the reaction of domestic netizens, it is much more pure, all touted!

Don't say bad things, even if you don't think about it, if anyone dares to say a word, they will be sprayed by other netizens to withdraw from the network.

"My cousin bought IBM again......? That's amazing, isn't it?"

"Fei is mighty, there is a lot to see! It's not my idol, it's best to buy it with Microsoft, and the computers we use in the future will be made in China from hardware to operating system, haha......"

"How much money does Mr. Fei have, IBM seems to have a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars, how can he afford it?"

"DON'T GET ME WRONG, THIS ACQUISITION IS JUST A PURCHASE OF IBM'S PERSONAL COMPUTER BUSINESS, WITH A TOTAL TRANSACTION VALUE OF ONLY 1250 MILLION US, TO PUT IT BLUNTLY, IT IS ACTUALLY EQUIVALENT TO BUYING THE THINKPAD, NOT IBM'S ENTIRE COMPANY. ”

"THINKPAD IS A GOOD PURCHASE! I LIKE ONE OF MY FAVORITE NOTEBOOKS, EXCEPT FOR THE PRICE IS A LITTLE HIGHER, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ANYTHING ELSE, AND IT SHOULD BE CHEAPER TO BUY THINKPAD IN CHINA IN THE FUTURE, GOOD NEWS." ”

"RECENTLY, I PLAN TO BUY A LAPTOP, AND I AM HESITATING ABOUT APPLE AND THINKPAD, NOW IT'S OKAY, DON'T HESITATE, GO DIRECTLY TO THINKPAD, SUPPORT FEIZONG!"

"By the way, I remember that the last time Fei Zong didn't acquire a computer brand called Alien, why haven't I seen it in China? ”

"It shouldn't be so fast, it's said that the alien computer is very cool, and it's really not sold in China, and the estimated price is not cheap. ”

Netizens are right, the alien computer has indeed not been listed in China, that is also because the alien has just been merged into the company not long ago, the integration at the company level has not been completely completed, and the production capacity has not kept up, just the American high-end game PC market has not been fully occupied, and it is not busy introducing the domestic market.

Besides, at that time in 2003, who would spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a computer specifically for gaming?

Maybe some families have that economic condition, but parents will definitely not buy it for their children, after all, the shape of the alien computer is not used for "serious" work and study, bells and whistles, and even the hydraulic system is used on the chassis, and the whole chassis will be deformed like a transformer when it is turned on......

BUT THE THINKPAD IS DIFFERENT, ALTHOUGH ITS PRICE IS JUST AS HIGH, BUT IT IS A WELL-KNOWN "HIGH-END BUSINESS COMPUTER", AND ITS SALES IN CHINA HAVE BEEN GOOD.

AFTER THE REVIEW FROM THE UNITED STATES IS PASSED, THINKPAD WILL BE LISTED ON A LARGE SCALE IN CHINA AND WILL FOCUS ON PROMOTION AND PUBLICITY.

Similarly, Lenovo's low-end computers will also begin to go global with the help of IBM's sales network that has been operated for many years.

The profit of high-end computers is very high, but the sales are there, and if you really want to go to the volume, you still have to rely on low-end computers.

Dell's success is the most convincing example.

Of course, there will be no projects to benefit the people abroad, and the people abroad are generally rich, and there is no need for Yu Wenfei to subsidize them.

SMG, that is, Modu Culture Radio, Film and Television Group Co., Ltd.

On the floor of Dragon TV, in a studio, Ye Xiaorong had just finished recording a program and was sorting out her things when the director hurriedly walked in.

"Xiao Rong, have you prepared for that celebrity talk show, and have you found a guest for the first episode?"

Ye Xiaorong heard the director's words, quickly got up, and replied with a smile: "I contacted a few well-known local people in the magic capital through my friends and the relationship in Taili, and the final candidate has not been determined for the time being. ”

"Those people go to the back row first, you immediately contact Facebook Holdings and invite Yuwen Fei to come to our station to do an interview program. Since your show is a celebrity interview, our magic capital has not been more famous than Yu Wenfei in the past two years, and he has just acquired IBM's personal computer business department, which is a sensation in China, take this opportunity to give him an exclusive interview, and your show can also become an instant hit. ”

The director pulled her aside and whispered instructs.

Ye Xiaorong looked embarrassed, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Of course I want to invite the famous Mr. Fei to do the show, but ...... But he didn't seem to accept interviews, and invited him to the front desk several times, but he was directly rejected. I pondered...... I don't have that much face, who knows me. ”

A smile appeared on the director's round face, and he said confidently, "Despite the invitation, the other side will not refuse this time." ”

Ye Xiaorong's eyes widened in surprise, since the director said so, it means that there is already an arrangement in the station, this is someone who has said hello.

She immediately replied: "That's great! I'll arrange this matter right away, and I'll invite Mr. Fei for the first episode!"

Yu Wenfei has really rarely been interviewed by TV media for more than a year, because there is no need, his personal Facebook is actually the biggest media!

Traditional media, whether it is TV stations or newspapers and magazines, can compare to his Facebook with nearly 40 million fans?

Every time he posted something on his personal Facebook, tens of millions of people immediately saw it, and the speed and influence of this spread ......

How can it be compared to traditional media?

Therefore, there is no need for him to be interviewed by traditional media, and Yu Wenfei is also a relatively low-key person......

…………

However, even if Yu Wenfei is low-key, the acquisition of IBM's personal computer business is such a big thing, and the press conference still has to be held.

IBM New York headquarters, reporters from all walks of life gathered here, today IBM and Star Technology will officially announce the news.

Originally, everyone knew about this, but the details of the acquisition still had to be learned at the press conference.

"Welcome to IBM headquarters, what we are going to announce today must be known to everyone, so we will not waste time, I officially announce that IBM's personal computer business unit will be sold to Star Technology Holdings from Heung Kong. THE THINKPAD BRAND, UNDER THE BANNER OF STAR TECHNOLOGY IN THE FUTURE, WILL DEFINITELY BE ABLE TO SHINE AS IT SHOULD BE......"

Peng Mingsheng announced with a microphone on his face.

Of course, he is happy that the personal computer business unit that has not been sold for several years will always be taken over, and after selling this burden, IBM will be able to concentrate on those high value-added software service businesses in the future.

No longer like before, you have to open factories, do sales channels, and engage in after-sales service, and you are tired to death, and you will lose money at the end of the year.

And in Peng Mingsheng's speech, he also intended to say that Star Technology is a company in Xiangjiang, in fact, it is not wrong to say this, after all, the controlling shareholder of Star Technology is Xiangjiang Jiale, which is a Hong Kong-funded background. This is also in preparation for the approval of the Foreign Investment Committee, after all, the company in Xiangjiang always sounds more "ideologically close" than the mainland company.

Next to him, standing is Yang Yuanqing, who is the representative of Star Technology today.

Yang Yuanqing also said with a smile on his face: "I am very happy to be able to acquire such a world-renowned brand as THINKPAD, on behalf of Star Technology Holdings and the new Lenovo Group, I would like to make a statement, the THINKPAD brand, not only will not disappear in the future, but will survive better, and dedicate more and better new computers to consumers around the world!"

Yu Wenfei and the rest of the people were all sitting in the audience.

"Mr. Fei, why don't you go up to speak, what a great opportunity, so many foreign reporters are here. Hu Jingjing approached Yu Wenfei and whispered.

Yu Wenfei smiled and asked calmly, "And then, is there any benefit?"

"Ah...... Then you will become famous, think about it, the newspapers of the United States will report on you, many people will know you, remember your name, how prestigious. ”

Yu Wenfei did not explain again, now is not the time for the so-called "prestige", and it is not worth being proud of taking a large amount of cash to buy the industries that others have eliminated.

When you really enter the United States, more Americans, and even people from all over the world, will remember you!
