The next day, An Rong and the team of Tianan Company continued to stay in New York State to conduct the next brief research.

However, Wu Tao flew to California first to deal with other affairs of his trip to the United States.

The Lunar New Year in 2002 is only a little more than a month away, and the time is very tight, but there are a lot of business arrangements.

I didn't think that when I was at the airport, I met with Lenovo's negotiation team unexpectedly.

Last night was a night of celebration for Tianan, but for Lenovo, it was a different story.

Although Wu Tao didn't know much about the situation, when he saw Liu Chuanzhi, whose hair had turned gray a lot, the shock in his heart was beyond words.

Either Caesar or nothing.

This is especially true of competition in the mall.

On the contrary, when Liu Chuanzhi saw Wu Tao, he seemed to be relaxed like he had let go of everything, and took the initiative to come up and stretch out his hand.

"Congratulations to Mr. Wu and congratulations to Tian'an Company. ”

"Toliu's blessing. Wu Tao said kind words, and there was no tension and confrontation between the two sides before.

The two walked to the side while talking, and Liu Chuanzhi sighed and sighed: "Thank you Mr. Wu for looking up to Lenovo and not winning the IBM-PC business by raising the purchase price." But this makes me even more curious, what kind of conditions did Tianan Company offer, and it can be so surprisingly successful?"

Wu Tao smiled and was silent.

Liu Chuanzhi took the opportunity to explain: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell me that I am already planning to resign from the position of CEO of Lenovo, and the big ship of Lenovo should also be handed over to a new generation to take the helm of the voyage." ”

Wu Tao was stunned, it seems that the impact of this acquisition is really not small, "Since Mr. Liu wants to hear it, then I will be ugly." ”

“...... In fact, the most important thing for Tianan to win the favor of IBM is to adhere to technology research and development as the core development route. ”

Liu Chuanzhi was slightly stunned, and then suddenly said: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, so to speak, Tian'an Company didn't want the IBM Thinkpad brand." ”

"That's right. Wu Tao bowed his head.

Liu Chuanzhi stretched out his hand again and said quite movingly: "Mr. Wu, thank you for setting an exemplary example for the development of high-tech enterprises in China. ”

Separated from Liu Chuanzhi's Lenovo negotiation team, Wu Tao also realized the changes in Lenovo.

It seems that the wolf nature of Tianan Company has not only opened up a sunny road for its future development, but also brought a far-reaching impact on the development of the industry.

This kind of positive impact on the industry was something that Wu Tao did not expect when he promised An Rong to establish Tianan.

When the plane arrived at the California airport, Wu Tao stepped off the shuttle bus and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Winter in California is better than in Jinling, but it's still winter. Even the sea breeze blowing from the west coast has a hint of bitter energy.

The huge poster at the airport made Wu Tao, who had just stepped off the plane, straighten his waist.

On one side is an ad for Lotus Phone X and on the other is a Facebook promoted ad.

Both of them are their own companies, and that sense of pride is almost spontaneous.

Walking out of the airport, Wu Yingying brought a Bentley team that was already waiting outside.

I haven't seen her for a while, Wu Yingying has become more and more independent, and her graceful demeanor between gestures is that she has seen the light breeze of the world.

"Boss, you are welcome to inspect the work. I haven't seen you for a while, but you're getting more and more handsome. ”

"Really?" Wu Tao raised his eyebrows, shook hands with Wu Yingying and said, "It seems that money makes people handsome!"

Wu Yingying let go of her figure and let Wu Tao get into the lane first: "Boss, you are really humorous." ”

The convoy slowly left the airport, and Wu Tao touched the newspaper in his hand and spread it out to take a look.

A bright headline catches the eye: IBM and Huaxia Tianan reached an acquisition agreement, is it a decline, or a new life?

It's really fast.

Wu Tao flipped through it casually, and there was a lot of talk about the acquisition of IBM and Tianan in this full-page Financial Times.

However, the opinion of most media is still not optimistic about Tianan, believing that IBM, a little blue giant, selling the PC business to such a company is basically no different from directly cutting and laying off employees.

Fortunately, even though the media said that the sky was falling, the stock market was stable.

After the news was released, IBM's stock not only did not fall, but faintly exerted force in the later stage, showing signs of rising.

Wu Tao put down the newspaper and said, "Yingying, what do you think of this business acquisition?"

Wu Yingying put her legs together, stroked the hair of her sideburns, and thought: "Such a successful business acquisition can undoubtedly accelerate the internationalization process of Tianan Company, and at the same time enrich the product line and introduce advanced technology and management concepts." ”

“...... But it's not for nothing that IBM broke his wrist and sold his PC business, which has always had a good reputation. ”

“...... In the future, with HP's acquisition of Compaq, Dell's globalization strategy, and the penetration of notebook manufacturers such as Toshiba, coupled with the successive emergence of domestic PC companies, the profit margins of the PC industry will definitely be further squeezed. ”

“...... Needless to say, the competitive situation that Tianan Company will face in the future is not optimistic. ”

Wu Tao nodded in agreement, "This is not an easy road!"

Soon, the convoy arrived at the California branch of Apocalypse Investment.

The investment company, located in the CBD area of California, is now the largest financial company in the entire neighborhood.

Across the block, you can see the advertising banner of Apocalypse Investment.

The original one-story office layout has also been expanded to as many as two floors.

At this point, Wu Yingying's expansion pace can be regarded as conservative. With the performance of Tianqi Investment California Branch, even if she buys a building, Wu Tao will not object.

However, it may be influenced by the atmosphere of many American companies, which would rather rely on renting all tables, chairs and benches than include them in the budget as fixed assets. And the real estate of office buildings, there is no need to mention.

Under the guidance of Wu Yingying, Wu Tao walked into the company.

The two blonde and blue-eyed Yanmars at the front desk immediately put down their work and stood up to salute.

Wu Tao nodded, decorating the façade with a beautiful Yanmar, which is indeed revealing a different lofty meaning.

The two walked and talked, not wanting to meet a white man with messy hair, who was being chased out by two stout security guards. While being driven away, he was still holding the scattered documents in his hand, and tried to explain: "Listen to me, this is a very promising touchscreen technology! It was rated as one of the 100 most important new technologies of the future in 73!"

Although the man's pronunciation was a bit slang, Wu Tao still heard a rough idea.

Immediately stopped the other party and said, "You said that the technology in your hand is touch screen technology?"

The man at the head of the chicken nest turned his head, "Are you?"

Without waiting for Wu Tao to introduce himself, Wu Yingying preemptively said: "He is the boss of Tianqi Investment." ”

"My name is Sam!" The man in the chicken nest was overjoyed, "I brought an improved touch screen technology today, it is based on capacitive touch screen technology, although the people of Motorola say that it is still very chicken, but I believe that as long as you invest in me, I will be able to completely perfect it!"
