Speaking of Lenovo, in the hearts of the Chinese people, he seems to be the representative of China's high-tech and China-made, after all, in the hearts of ordinary people, which one of the computers is not a science and technology boss?

However, in fact, the overall technological content of Lenovo is not as high as everyone thinks, or even not high at all, because in 1995, a crucial year, Lenovo, which has not yet fully matured, was forced to set its own future development strategy.

Trade first, manufacturing secondary, technology supplemented - this is Lenovo's development strategy for the next 20 years, following this idea, Lenovo rose rapidly and became one of the most powerful technology companies in China.

However, as the so-called success is also Xiao He defeat, this development idea has ushered in a period of nearly 20 years of super expansion, and even in 2005, a 20-year point in time, it acquired the personal PC business of the international giant IBM in one fell swoop. Suffice it to say, Lenovo has reached its most glorious peak, and what follows is naturally an irresistible period of rapid decline.

After entering the 21st century, the core competitiveness of a company is no longer in the market and output, but in the core technology and technology - this is Lenovo's biggest shortcoming. As a result, 20 years later, when Huawei, which has been suppressed by Lenovo technology, dominates the international communications market and becomes a representative of China's high-tech, Lenovo can only face the tide of the times at a loss and difficult transformation.

It can be said that all the successes and failures of Lenovo's later successes and failures originated from the world-renowned "Liu Ni Controversy" in 1995.

Yes, the "Liu Ni Dispute", the internal strife within Lenovo, completely put Lenovo on a "road of no return" with mixed reputations.

The dispute between Liu Ni is very simple, it is the "tearing war" between Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Huannan, the two Lenovo bigwigs, or it can be said that it is a short-handed battle between the market faction and the technology faction.

There is no doubt that the final result was a complete victory for Liu Chuanzhi of the "market faction", while Ni Huannan of the "technical faction" lost Mai Cheng and was gloomy out of Lenovo a few years later.

As the leader of Lenovo's technology school, it can be said that Lenovo's Hong Kong listing today really has a lot to do with Ni Huannan's technical support. It is with the technical support of Ni Huannan that Lenovo Hanka and Lenovo Microcomputer can dominate the industry and quickly rise to become the industry leader. As for Ni Huannan, a technical master, Liu Chuanzhi also gave absolute respect, so Lenovo, a company under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has formed a good situation in which "president" and "chief engineer" complement each other.

However, unfortunately, since 1994, the contradiction between Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Huannan has begun to intensify, the reason is very simple, the two have a major disagreement on the company's business ideas - Liu Chuanzhi wants to take advantage of China's manufacturing cost advantages to build Lenovo as its own brand, while Ni Huanan wants to take the road dominated by technology research and development.

Naturally, the two sides have their own reasons......

Although Su Chenyu clearly knew where the contradiction between Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Huannan was, he still pretended to be stupid and asked, "Uncle Liu, I really can't figure it out, what do you think about infighting?"

"To tell you the truth, there is a disagreement between me and Ni Huannan, the company's chief engineer, about the future development direction of Lenovo. Liu Chuanzhi looked helpless, and said with a sigh: "Ni Huanan hopes to use the company's strength to set up a microelectronics center to develop chips with independent intellectual property rights." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, but for Lenovo, it's really not suitable!"

Listening to Liu Chuanzhi's words, Su Chenyu was a little stunned, although he knew that Ni Huannan wanted to engage in technology research and development, but he didn't expect this guy to make it so big this time, and he actually wanted to play with the chip. You know, at present, Intel is the only one in the chip industry, and AMD, Qualcomm, Samsung, etc. can only lift shoes for the big guy in the back, and they don't even have the qualifications to lift shoes. As for China, hehe, I'm sorry, at this time, there is not even a chip industry.

It can be seen from this that Ni Huannan wants to do how great and unreliable the "China Chip" is, yes, it is unreliable, at least for Lenovo, it is quite unreliable. For an industry with huge investment and a long return cycle, it is definitely not something that Lenovo can afford now.

However, no matter what, it can't change the greatness of Ni Huannan doing this!

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Su Chenyu said directly: "Chief Ni's original intention is good and great, but I have to say that it is indeed a little whimsical. Like you said, it's not for Lenovo, because Lenovo simply can't stand up to such a big project. ”

Upon hearing Su Chenyu's words, Liu Chuanzhi quickly nodded in agreement, and then said: "However, Lao Ni seems to be determined to do this, so after I refused, he had already quarreled with me many times at Lenovo's high-level meetings. Even, Lao Ni let out cruel words, 'Never finish with me'. ”

Although Su Chenyu is here to be a "senior counselor" to give advice, he still wants to hear the true thoughts of the main master: "Then what do you want to do?"

"When the judgment is constantly suffering, I can't let Lao Ni ruin the association. ”

This is what Liu Chuanzhi said is murderous, there is no doubt that this is going to do something to Ni Huannan, if nothing else, Ni Huannan will still be out of Lenovo like in his previous life.

However, Su Chenyu couldn't figure it out, since Liu Chuanzhi had already made up his mind in his heart, why did he come to consult himself? Or did he not have the determination to kick Ni Huannan out of the game.

"What do you mean?"

Sure enough, Liu Chuanzhi has not yet made up his mind: "This is where I want you to help me with advice today, and I want to hear your opinion on the future development of Lenovo." ”

Quickly thinking about the whole thing in his mind, Su Chenyu finally stared at Liu Chuanzhi and said with a smile: "Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, and you don't need my advice at all." ”

For a business tycoon like Liu Chuanzhi, there is no doubt that he has already decided in his heart, and he doesn't need to let Su Chenyu give advice at all, they are quite decisive. As for why Liu Chuanzhi wanted to see Su Chenyu this time, if Su Chenyu's guess was correct, he wanted to let him help him solve the "big trouble" of Ni Huannan.

Obviously, Liu Chuanzhi wants to kick Ni Huannan out of association, but he also doesn't want to bear so much infamy and moral pressure - speaking of which, he just wants to think about what and what he wants.

However, Su Chenyu is really willing to do this matter, because in this "Liu Ni dispute", he also has his own plans......
