Chapter 372: Chairman of Lenovo Computer: Liu Chuanzhi
IBM's PC business, in fact, Chen Jiayi wants it very much. It's just that, for the time being, Tang Dynasty Company doesn't plan to meddle in computer sales so quickly. Moreover, Tang Dynasty Company does not have much experience in sales. In addition, IBM's own operation has been at a loss, and the acquisition of the Tang Dynasty Company will not make trouble for itself.
However, the fact that Tang Dynasty Company does not want it does not mean that IBM's PC business has no use value. Chen Jiayi just took advantage of the opportunity to help IBM and became this middleman.
Don't underestimate this middleman, if it works well, the benefits will be very large.
After half an hour of secret calls, everything was laid out.
The next day, IBM released a news release hinting at the intention to sell the PC business.
Although the news is not directly stated, it is already very clear.
Almost as soon as the news was issued, the global media was shaken to know what IBM was
Magnate. Moreover, his PC business, which has always been the standard for business machines. Moreover, as a result
IBM's decades of brand have brought countless honors to IBM in the past years, and even can
In other words, the entire computer brand value can compete with Apple.
Whoever can buy IBM's PC business can not only get IBM's technical support, but also
to get his computer distribution market. This is important for any enterprise that wants to expand the computer sales brand market
Karma is a great temptation. For example, Dell and Hui, which have been the most popular in recent years
If they get IBM's PC business, they will definitely be able to occupy enough computer sales market
field, to achieve an industry-leading position.
The "Financial Times" of the United States announced in a high-profile manner that the front page was full of news, "PC giants are interested in selling."
Its computer business, the king in the past, who can take over it now. ”
If you want to talk about the glory of IBM, I'm afraid you can't write enough books.
The PC word alone was invented by IBM and has been used ever since. Although previously,
Apple's personal computer is in front. The newspaper interpreted, "Regardless of whether IBM really intends to sell, or
Tentative, but we already know that the PC era of .ibm is over. From the last two years
IBM also had to consider selling the PC business.
However, even though IBM's PC business has suffered significant losses in the past two years, we
It can still be seen that IBM has a huge response to PCs and the entire computer industry. I
We can even guess that after the news is revealed, countless computer companies in the world will be surprised
Heartbeat...... Yes, it's a thing that makes them kings, world-class businessmen
Eligibility. ”
His name, his brand, his technology, his distribution market, everything, everything,
It is any company in the world, and it is all moved by it. Larger computer companies need it
Acquired IBM and became the king of the world. Smaller PC companies also need IBM to expand internationally
Market o
We will think, who will be eyeing IBM's PC business enterprises?
Cut, Toshiba, Huipu, Honglai... Even the Chinese association, it depends on whether he has it
This guts.
It can be said that under the hint of IBM news, the world is ready to grow in just a few hours
In the media, it was all front-page headlines. Because, IBM PC, his influence is too much
Big too big. This once led the development of the PC industry as the first giant, which has a history of nearly 100 years
history of high-tech companies. This IBM with a super popular brand, everything is everything, not only let
Other companies are excited, but a lot of media are also crazy about it.
Quite a few newspapers, including radio, spread the news.
Not everyone is optimistic, though.
The New York Daily declared, "IBM is just a beautiful trap." ”
The newspaper claims that although in the past IBM was the king of the PC field. Just, with the society
development, the development of computers. Today, IBM's PC business has been greatly reduced. Just one
Some large orders from enterprises can also support the development of IBM. Other individual markets have basically given way
PC giants such as Yu Jie Er, Hewlett-Packard, etc.
Moreover, IBM's PC business has suffered significant losses in the past two years, and IBM has even more this year
The most serious depot maintenance incident in the first place. According to financial professionals, IBM
In the PC business, the loss amount this year will be about 500 million US dollars.
And that's just one of them.
Second, in the face of IBM's transfer, even if other companies buy the brand, the market will
It won't buy it, and it's also an unknown. Those arrogant Americans won't change one for another
The name of IBM, as its own purchase object.
Third...... This article probably invited a professional to analyze the disadvantages of IBM backup items in detail
Place. In the end, IBM's PC business is good. However, if you can't make a profit after purchase
Leigh, then, he is a wonderful trap.
But in any case, IBM's PC business, he is still extremely attractive. ,
Even if they are preparing companies, they know the shortcomings of IBM, and they are eager to do it.
Association.
"Mr. Liu, IBM revealed the news that it intends to sell their PC business." The one who spoke
A middle-aged Shinshi who looks very Sven and wears a pair of glasses, smiles from time to time.
Perhaps, people who do not know him, only think that he is a social elite
But those who knew him would have exclaimed.
"Yang Yuanqing."
Yes, this person is Yang Yuanqing, CEO of Lenovo Group.
It stands to reason that the CEO is already the top executive of the group company. However, it seems, Yang Yuan
Qing spoke today with an attitude that seemed to be a report on work. Well, those above the CEO, too
There is only one person, and that is the chairman of the board of directors, who is known as a super CEO. There is only the chairman of the group,
He has more power than the CEO. It has the power to dismiss or appoint a CEO, however, generally
said that the chairman of the board of directors is not involved in the administrative execution of the company.
Just like the CEO of Tang Dynasty Company is Zhang Zixian, and the chairman of Tang Dynasty Company is Chen Jia
One. And this person who was called Mr. Liu by Yang Yuanqing is the famous chairman of Lenovo Group, Liu
Biography.
"Xiao Yang, what do you think?" Liu Chuanzhi is in his 50s and almost 60 years old. So
Most of the Lenovo Group has been handed over to young people. This Yang Yuanqing is Lenovo
One of the most important people in the group. Otherwise, Yang Yuanqing would not have been appointed as CEO. However, in the willow
In Chuanzhi's eyes, Yang Yuanqing still lacks some heat, if the time comes, he will be the chairman
will be handed over to Yang Yuanqing.
"IBM's PC business, we Lenovo can consider acquiring it."
When IBM intended to disclose the sale of the PC business, Yang Yuanqing felt that this was an opportunity
Yes.
An opportunity for Lenovo to become the world's PC giant
"Tell me."
Liu Chuanzhi did not agree or support, he wanted to hear Yang Yuanqing's views.
"With the rise of the Internet, the PC business has grown rapidly.
In China, we are the biggest recipients. It's just that, associated with it until now, still
However, if we do not adopt the method of cooperation and mergers and acquisitions, we can only do so
Seize the domestic market and miss the world market. Perhaps, with the opening of the market, other enterprises
With the entry of the brand, we Lenovo can't even hold the domestic market...... domestic computer brand,
And it's not just Lenovo. He also has Shenzhou, Acer, Asus...... Even, some home appliance giants,
In the future, it will also join this market. Like Haier, there is already a fight in this area
Calculate. These are all things that Yang Yuanqing has to worry about, because it is absolutely impossible for Lenovo to be in the domestic market
To achieve monopoly, at most, it is just a matter of having more markets.
In this way, if Lenovo wants to develop, it can only take the road of overseas expansion. And, that's also on
level of tasks assigned to them. "
"So how to deal with IBM's loss problem."
Although IBM's PC business is good, his huge losses in the past two years are a big deal
It hurts. If Lenovo acquires IBM, it will not be profitable. Well, for Lenovo to come
Say, it's a disaster. Because, with such a loss, the completion of the gold can bring down Lenovo.
After all, the associations of the present are not the associations of the future.
"The PC industry has reached the point where efficiency wins, I think, IBM
The reason for the large loss, in addition to the technical problems that occurred in IBM this year, is otherwise
A strategic mistake because IBM's computer efficiency is too low, and he pursues quality too much
High, just like Apple. On the other hand, when he takes into account quality, he attaches more importance to the city
As a result, his market sales have leaped rapidly in recent years and become the world
The No. 1 PC Giant ......"
Yang Yuanqing has talked a lot, and in the past few days, he has been thinking about this plan.
On the one hand, he has to consider the benefits that IBM brings to Lenovo.
On the other hand, he also has to take into account that if after the acquisition of IBM's PC business, it should be as follows:
The question of how to stay profitable. If it can't be profitable, then IBM is no matter how good it is, Lenovo
Buying it down is tantamount to asking for trouble.
After a long period of thinking, coupled with Yang Yuanqing's understanding of IBM. He finally found it
The reason for IBM's loss o Of course, he also found that after Lenovo acquired IBM's PC business,
How profitable the road should be.
These have already been thought out by the Ministry of Gold, so what about the acquisition?
Even if Yang Yuanqing knows, if the media breaks the news that Lenovo is preparing to acquire IBM's PC business, it will
It is considered by the industry to be a snake incense elephant, and some media will say that it is a fool's dream. But the artist is bold, Yang Yuan
Qing dared to take the risk. However, he is only the CEO, and he is not able to handle everything
For acquisitions involving huge amounts of money from the company, the approval of the board of directors is required.
Then, what is pressing on Yang Yuanqing's head is this, a veteran of Lenovo Group, a generation of industry
Pioneer Liu Chuanzhi.
"Good..."
Hearing Yang Yuanqing's analysis, Liu Chuanzhi showed a relieved smile. He knows
Dao, Yang Yuanqing has slowly matured. It was from this incident that he saw Yang
Yuan Qing's strategy, his bravery. If there is no courage and no plan, I am afraid that IBM's PC business will be no more
Well, Yang Yuanqing could only take a look, and he didn't dare to ask for an acquisition.
Because, IBM is so big that it may overwhelm Lenovo
come
"It's just that there's a question, will IBM sell his PC business to Lenovo?" (To be continued)
