If you want IBM's PC business, there are a bunch of companies. Whether it is their company rules, or market means, or interpersonal relationships, these companies are stronger than Lenovo. Moreover, IBM is also an American enterprise, and for IBM, he definitely wants to sell his PC business to Americans.

In the end, why did Lenovo buy IBM's PC business?

With money?

As a state-owned enterprise, Lenovo has the support of the state, and Lenovo can really spend money to acquire IBM's PC business. However, this is not something that can be done if you have money. Many domestic enterprises, in order to seek overseas development, want to enter the overseas market through mergers and acquisitions of overseas companies. However, such cases have been blocked by the US authorities from time to time. Unless, through the acquisition of shares in the secondary market, it may be possible to accomplish something. However, no matter how rich Lenovo is, it is also daunting for IBM's secondary stock market, a giant company worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

"This ......"

Yang Yuanqing just wanted to say that he would buy at a high price, but when he thought about it, it seemed that he could not get a high price. Oh no, I didn't think this through myself. Just when Yang Yuanqing didn't know how to answer, suddenly Liu Chuanzhi's secretary came over and said, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Chen Jiayi, President of Tang Dynasty Company, is visiting. ”

"Well, okay, you call for a while, and I'll be over in a while."

Liu Chuanzhi nodded, and after instructing the secretary, he glanced at Yang Yuanqing and said, "Yuanqing, it's rare that you can think of so much today." After a while, you will come with me to meet Chen Jiayi, the president of Tang Dynasty Company. ”

Who is Chen Jiayi, it is the NO1 of the domestic Internet. Even in the world market, it occupies a pivotal position. This time, IBM deliberately hinted at the sale of its PC business. This plan has already alarmed Liu Chuanzhi. To be honest, he and Yang Yuanqing have the same opinion, that is, to go all out to acquire IBM's PC business.

Although, he knows, IBM's PC business is not as brilliant as it was then. However, Lenovo doesn't care. What he needed was IBM's previous global market, and what he needed was IBM business machine technology. Of course, he also wants to promote Lenovo's fame to the world through this acquisition.

However, ginger is old and spicy after all. Although, like Yang Yuanqing, he has already thought about everything. But in the end, a problem arises. Why did IBM sell his PC business to Lenovo? Liu Chuanzhi has been thinking about this problem for a long time, but he has not been able to solve it. However, for the time being, let it go for the time being, and then talk about it when I see Chen Jia.

"Okay."

For a character like Chen Jiayi, Yang Yuanqing actually wanted to see it for a long time. Moreover, Tang Dynasty Company has reached cooperation with Lenovo on explosion-proof batteries before, which can be regarded as a business partner. However, Chen Jiayi has never shown up for this little thing. Although Yang Yuanqing wanted to get to know him, he didn't have a chance. Unexpectedly, Chen Jiayi was coming over today.

Yang Yuanqing looked at Liu Chuanzhi's meaning, he wanted to let himself have more contact with Chen Jiayi. Moreover, there are many times to Lenovo. If there is any good project, you can cooperate with Tang Dynasty Company if you have the opportunity, which is good for the development of Lenovo.

Then, the two said something and came to the Lenovo conference room.

"Mr. Chen, I haven't greeted you from afar, and I am disrespectful and disrespectful."

"Don't dare, don't dare, Senior Liu is too polite."

Liu Chuanzhi has managed Lenovo for more than ten years, which is a pioneer in the domestic computer industry. Like these cattle people, Chen Jiayi maintains a certain amount of respect. The fact that they are so groundbreaking is a testament to their abilities. As for those who are capable, Chen Jiayi does not dare to have the slightest contempt. Even if Chen Jiayi has a vision of the future for more than ten years.

"Is this Mr. Yang Yuanqing, he really has the demeanor of a veteran."

The outside world has always regarded Liu Chuanzhi as a veteran, and Yang Yuanqing as Liu Chuanzhi's successor. Although the evaluation of Yang Yuanqing by the media in later generations is not as high as Liu Chuanzhi. However, Yang Yuanqing was able to acquire IBM's PC business after that. In the following years, he remained profitable, which shows his ability. Although in 08, Lenovo suffered a huge loss, which made Liu Chuanzhi cross the mountain again. But this can't be blamed too much on Yang Yuanqing, which is affected by the world economic crisis. …,

"Where, if compared with Mr. Chen's Tang Dynasty Company, our association is nothing."

The three of them turned over the politeness and sat down on the left and right.

"I wonder if Mr. Chen came to Lenovo this time, if there are any new cooperation plans?"

It was Yang Yuanqing who spoke at the beginning, and Liu Chuanzhi just sat to the side and didn't speak with a smile. This negotiation has great benefits, because it can refine Yang Yuanqing. Second, if Yang Yuanqing said something inappropriate, Liu Chuanzhi could correct it. After all, during the negotiations, Liu Chuanzhi's position was one level older than Yang Yuanqing.

However, Chen Jiayi obviously saw through the plan of the two.

"Is Mr. Yang representing Lenovo this time?"

If not, then Chen Jiayi will talk to Liu Chuanzhi directly. If so, then it's best, Chen Jiayi talked directly with Liu Yuanqing. Although Liu Yuanqing has managed the company for many years, where is Liu Chuanzhi powerful. It is easier to deal with him than to deal with Liu Chuanzhi.

"This ......"

Yang Yuanqing didn't expect Chen Jiayi to ask such a question, including Liu Chuanzhi. However, fortunately, this meeting was not a formal negotiation, and seeing Yang Yuanqing's eyes, Liu Chuanzhi nodded and asked Yang Yuanqing to talk directly with Chen Jia. Because he knew that Yuanqing's experience in market operation was a little worse, but everything was very thoughtful. Moreover, for things that are not sure, I will not agree to it, and I have a good grasp of the procrastination.

"Yes, what advice does Mr. Chen have?"

The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and in the negotiation, there is no brotherhood to talk about.

"Haha, Mr. Yang is too nervous, and treats me as an enemy."

Chen Jia smiled, he was thinking about how to maximize the benefits of Lenovo.

"Where, where, we have always welcomed Mr. Chen to our association, but Mr. Chen is too nervous. Let's go have a cup of tea first...... Relax and unwind. ”

"Just drink tea, it's not too late to drink it after the meeting."

This Yang Yuanqing is okay, it seems that it is not necessarily easy to deal with. Chen Jia thought to himself.

"Okay, I'll just briefly explain the intention, our Tang Dynasty company has some plans recently, and wants to enter the PC market. I don't know if Lenovo can help and help Tang Dynasty Company. ”

"Of course, Tang Dynasty has always been our partner. If there is any good cooperation, we will definitely help. ”

If Chen Jiayi doesn't say anything substantial, Yang Yuanqing will definitely not agree.

"Hehe, in fact, this cooperation is simple, it depends on whether your company is willing or not."

Chen Jia slowed down, and then slowly said, "I want a stake in Lenovo 10." ”

"10 shares?"

Hearing Chen Jiayi's request, Liu Chuanzhi and Yang Yuanqing were thinking, what is Chen Jiayi going to do?

"I don't think we at Lenovo have considered a plan to sell Lenovo's shares for the time being."

Lenovo is not short of money, he is now in a hurry to open up the market, it can be said that he wants to spend money to develop the market, especially overseas markets. In the face of Chen Jiayi's request for shares, it was impossible for Yang Yuanqing and Liu Chuanzhi to agree.

"Don't worry, what if I add a condition?"

Chen Jiayi came prepared this time, not afraid that they would not agree.

"On what terms?"

If it's money, I'm afraid no matter how much money it has, Lenovo won't agree. Because, Lenovo is a state-owned enterprise. If you do a good job in state-owned enterprises, even if they lose money, they will not sell their shares.

"IBM's PC Business."

Saying softly, Chen Jiayi knew that they would definitely be interested.

"What, IBM's PC business?"

Both of them were shocked by Chen Jiayi's words, what they wanted most in the near future was IBM's PC business. It's just that even if they have money, they may not be able to buy IBM's PC business. Moreover, much richer than IBM goes. Looking at Chen Jiayi's serious expression, this is not a fake, in fact, there is no need to fake, yes or no, I will understand it immediately after a few days. Yang Yuanqing was a little excited in his heart, and the solution that he couldn't think of just now seemed to have a solution. …,

"How much is IBM going to sell?"

Yang Yuanqing knew that he was a little excited, took a deep breath, and asked calmly.

"At present, it is reported that Dell has invested $700 million."

Later, Lenovo acquired IBM at the end of 2004 for about $1.2 billion. That is, $600 million in cash + $600 million in three-year restriction period Lenovo shares. The $600 million share of Lenovo was, at that time, about 18 of the total shares. The reason why it is so low now is entirely because IBM is at a critical juncture in this technical incident, so the value is also lower. Of course, this is just Dell's words. Perhaps, in a few months, other PC companies will rise to 800 million, or even 900 million, 1 billion dollars, it is also possible.

"As for other companies, it is not known at present, but looking at the appearance of IBM, as long as it is hyped for a while, I am afraid that this price will go up for a while......"

After all, IBM's heritage is a rotten stone there, and it is more expensive than other places.

"So, what does Mr. Chen mean?"

Yang Yuanqing did not directly indicate Lenovo's strategy, he wanted to listen to all of Chen Jiayi's plans.

"Quite simply, I can guarantee Lenovo $700 million for IBM's PC plan. Of course, the condition is exactly what I just said......"

That is, 10 of Lenovo shares.

"Let's think about it."

Liu Yuanqing did not refuse, because he and Ben refused to come. However, he didn't dare to agree, if Chen Jia said that the funds would be fine. But when it comes to Lenovo's shares, they have to think about it.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

As soon as Chen Jia finished speaking, he also stood up. He was ready to say goodbye to the two. In a few days, IBM's PC business will rise again, and I am afraid that they will immediately agree to the conditions. If it weren't for Chen Jiayi's previous signing of a secret agreement with IBM, of course, IBM would also thank Chen Jiayi for his strategy. I'm afraid that for now, IBM sees that the market is so crazy, and it won't all hand it over to Chen Jiayi to handle his PC business.

Three days later.

Lenovo finally agreed to Chen Jiayi's plan.

Under the mediation of Chen Jiayi, Lenovo began to contact the international giant IBM to negotiate a specific acquisition. But I don't want to, Lenovo has just been dispatched, and it has been known to the world media.

"Lenovo swallows an elephant with a snake, and it will surely reap its own consequences in the future."

Among the world's top 500 companies, Lenovo can't even stand the edge, but IBM has been in the world's top 500 companies for countless years. Even, the title of the world's top 500 companies is much younger than IBM's age. It can be seen that IBM is such a behemoth to people all over the world.

Although Lenovo is not buying IBM, it is only buying IBM's PC business. But the media, which has always been shrewd, has always liked to brag about it. Moreover, with this title, it is also said in the past. After all, Lenovo launched an acquisition of IBM. For this acquisition, the arrogant American media hates China, the yellow-skinned monkey, in their hearts.

According to the Washington Daily, "Lenovo may have a little brand in China, but in the international community, it is nothing." Not to mention whether Lenovo plans to buy IBM's PC business, just from this contact incident, we believe that Lenovo just wants to take the opportunity to speculate, and they simply don't have this capital acquisition. Of course, the worst-case scenario is that Lenovo really acquires IBM's PC business, then we also believe that Lenovo's operation must be even more unsuccessful than IBM's operation in recent years. ”

With the exception of the Washington Daily News, which is a part of the mainstream media in the United States, the rest of the world is not very optimistic. Including the British Times also said, "I am very optimistic about Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's PC business, I think, this is the worst merger and acquisition of this century." ”

It's just a report in the media.

As "American" users, they showed strong resistance to Lenovo's entry. They think, "Can the IBM computer acquired by Lenovo still be called IBM?" And vowed that if Lenovo successfully acquired IBM's PC business, they would never buy branded computers with the IBM logo.

All of a sudden, the Lenovo acquisition case caused a lot of trouble all over the world.

However, corresponding to foreign media, as representatives of local media, they have shown strong support for Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's PC business. It also believes that Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's PC business can not only enhance its own computer technology, but also expand the international market of Lenovo computers. This is a necessary way for Lenovo to pursue a path of globalization.

Of course, it is the domestic individual users who are indispensable. They believe that Lenovo's acquisition of the PC business of IBM, a giant enterprise, is itself a manifestation of strength. In addition, if it successfully opens up the world market, it will be a very helpful thing for Lenovo brands and Chinese brands. They expressed strong support and would definitely consider buying a Lenovo computer if the need arose.

Just when the world media was arguing so much, Lenovo did not want to make a fuss, and with IBM, it acquired IBM's PC computer business for $700 million with a lightning momentum.

"****, IBM is so poor that it sold its computer business so cheaply."

This is the roar ...... of an American user,
