Chapter 757: Buying IBM Computer Technology
"Recently, I was thinking about whether Tang Dynasty Company's 10% stake in Lenovo should be sold back to you."
Sold back to Lenovo.
This sentence, not only Yang Yuanqing, but even Liu Chuanzhi heard it, and his heart was still turbulent.
The two looked at Chen Jiayi in front of them, but Yang Yuanqing couldn't hold his breath first, and said, "Mr. Chen, ...... you are"
"Recently, our Tang Dynasty company needs to invest in another place, but cash is a little tight. As a result, I thought of selling the shares of Lenovo to ease the cash flow pressure. ”
Before coming here, Chen Jia had already thought of countermeasures.
Of course, this one-sentence answer sounds so false.
Who doesn't know, whether it is about the strength of the company or the cash flow of the entire company, Tang Dynasty Company deserves to be the first. Even, even with some bank deposits, it is not as good as the Tang Dynasty company. In particular, the Tang Dynasty Company has the Tang Dynasty Quantum Fund, a money printing machine, but they don't have a time when they don't have money. Perhaps, when will there be no money. Then, the Tang Dynasty Quantum Fund will make a few waves in the international market, and tens of billions of dollars are estimated to have arrived.
Even if the country is completely finished, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty Company to cut off its cash flow.
In other words, Chen Jiayi's sentence is simply the biggest joke of this century.
It's just a joke, but Yang Yuanqing can't see through it. After all, it is a fact that Tang Dynasty holds 10% of Lenovo's shares. Whether people continue to hold Lenovo's shares or sell their shares, there is no need to say hello to Lenovo at all. Now that Chen Jiayi can come over in person, it seems that it is enough to look at it.
As Chen Jiayi expected, when Chen Jiayi directly said to throw away Lenovo shares, both of them were shocked.
"You don't need to be so surprised, your company hasn't been recycling shares. It's just that stocks in the secondary market are just that. Recycling. Recycle. I can't take much. I own 10% of Lenovo's shares, although I have not interfered with Lenovo for a long time. In the final analysis, there is still a certain right to speak. For the independence of Lenovo. For the future development of Lenovo company. So, I had this in mind. ”
"Mr. Chen, this sale of shares is a big deal. I hope that Mr. Chen will think about it more. ”
Yang Yuanqing replied cautiously.
It stands to reason that selling 10% of the shares back to Lenovo would have been a great thing.
After all, Lenovo has entered the pace of internationalization, especially after going public. Lenovo's shares are no longer so simple. Although the state-controlled Lenovo company is still the majority shareholder of the Lenovo Group, but. The shares are only more than 30%. If there are certain guys who want to start a takeover war, maybe, even if they don't. In terms of the shares held by other institutions. It can also influence Lenovo's strategic decisions.
That's bad for a group company.
Just like the Tang Dynasty Group, Chen Jia will not let his shares flow to the market at all. In this way, it is completely 100% controlled, and no one can affect the Tang Dynasty group for half a point. Otherwise, as in the mature U.S. capital markets. There are some fund companies that are careless by acquiring stocks in the secondary market and then teaming up with other financial institutions. This listed company will be acquired.
Finally, even all the management of this listed company. Wipe them all out.
These are the adverse effects of listing.
Before that. Lenovo had other shareholders decide to slow down their strategy a few times. If it weren't for Chen Jiayi's 10% stake in his hands and having always supported Lenovo. Perhaps, there are some strategies that Lenovo Group simply can't promote.
Now, Chen Jiayi has returned all the shares. Although I have to pay a certain price to buy it back, but, on the surface. This has an irreplaceable role in the integrity of Lenovo's shares. It's a pity that even if Lenovo wants to get back the shares in Chen Jia's hand, they can't accept it. ..., if Chen Jiayi sells the shares of Lenovo in his hand, then, in the market, it means that Tang Dynasty Company and Lenovo Company will completely stop cooperating. This will be a big blow to Lenovo. Because, Lenovo, which has been cooperating with Tang Dynasty Company, has been able to enter the world.
Let's take a look at Lenovo's stock since it went public, it turns out that the performance has been very sluggish. However, since it was reported in the media that Tang Dynasty Company holds a 10% stake in Lenovo. Thousands of shares are full of interest in Lenovo at once. They bought Lenovo shares one after another, waiting to increase their value.
They believe that the stock that even the Tang Dynasty company is willing to buy must be a good stock.
Sure enough, in fact, exactly that's right.
When many stock names bought Lenovo shares, Lenovo stock names skyrocketed more than ten times in just a few years.
This made the stock name very excited, and at the same time, many media researchers called it a miracle. And, always leave a comment. The meaning of Dazhi is to emphasize. Lenovo's successful alliance with Tang Dynasty Company not only made Lenovo completely internationalized, but also became a world-renowned computer brand.
This, all of them, is the power of the Tang Dynasty company.
If at this time, Tang Dynasty announced that it would sell the shares it held in Lenovo, then, what will the market show. Don't think about it, everyone knows. I'm afraid that all retail investors and fund companies, they will frantically sell their stocks. At the same time, Lenovo's performance, as well as its brand, will also be affected.
This 10% of the stock, put on the Tang Dynasty Company, is simply beneficial and harmless.
Therefore, no matter how much Lenovo wanted to reclaim the shares, it never considered the 10% stake in the hands of Tang Dynasty.
Yang Yuanqing's sentence, Chen Jiayi did not answer.
It's just that after a while, Liu Chuanzhi, the honorary chairman of Lenovo, laughed.
"Haha, Mr. Chen, your joke is too big."
"Oh, why is it a joke, Mr. Liu thinks, am I joking?"
Chen Jiayi replied seriously.
This made Yang Yuanqing's heart constantly beat.
Although Chen Jiayi has a good temper, no one can stop him from initiating Weilai.
How many companies, because of Chen Jiayi's anger, it was over. It's just that Liu Chuanzhi didn't answer this sentence positively. Rather, he said. "If Tang Dynasty really wants to sell 10% of Lenovo's shares, presumably, this is a trivial matter. There is no need for Mr. Chen to come in person. ”
As soon as he said this sentence, Chen Jia secretly praised it.
It seems that Liu Chuanzhi is still experienced.
Yes, Chen Jiayi came to Lenovo. It's not about selling 10% of Lenovo's shares.
After all, with the current status of the Tang Dynasty company, if it is just this trivial matter, it can be handled by others, so why bother Chen Jiayi. Besides, even if these shares were to be sold, there was no need for Tang Dynasty to say hello to Lenovo. This is entirely a matter for the Tang Dynasty Company itself. Whether they sell or not has nothing to do with Lenovo, and Tang Dynasty Company does not need Lenovo to explain.
"It's still Mr. Liu's discernment."
Chen Jia said to Liu Chuanzhi with a smile.
Then, take what Liu Chuanzhi said just now. said, "Actually, this time, I am here for the Tang Dynasty CPU. ”
"Tang Dynasty CPU."
Yang Yuanqing and Liu Chuanzhi each glanced at each other and nodded secretly, it seems that it is really related to the CPU of the Tang Dynasty.
The CPU is not only valued by Tang Dynasty Company. Even the state attaches importance to it. Only this kind of business can labor Chen Jiayi's big frame. If not. Chen Jiayi is not idle, why did he come to Lenovo if he had nothing to do. For him. He's got a lot to do.
"Mr. Chen, rest assured, about the matter of the Tang Dynasty CPU, our Lenovo company will definitely support it." ..., the matter of the CPU in the Tang Dynasty, to put it a little bigger, he is not only a matter of the Tang Dynasty company, he is almost the whole of China. Finally, under the strategy of the Tang Dynasty company, the Tang Dynasty CPU appeared. Therefore, the national government has called on major IT companies. Regardless of the performance of Tang Dynasty CPU, major IT companies must cooperate with the promotion of Tang Dynasty CPU in an all-round way......
Originally, such a thing as a government beachhead has always been something that major companies hate. However, for this time, major companies have no half opinion. Even, there are some companies that still have some expectations. After all, the Tang Dynasty CPU was extended to IBM, and there is nothing to say about performance. In addition, there is a brand called Tang Dynasty...... Domestic companies believe that crazy Tang Dynasty fans, they will definitely break out a frenzy of purchases.
Now hearing what Chen Jiayi said about the CPU in the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yuanqing immediately expressed Lenovo's position.
"Really?"
How Chen Jiayi couldn't see what Yang Yuanqing wanted to express, which meant that, as Chen Jiayi said, Lenovo Company and Tang Dynasty Company stood on the same line and unconditionally supported Tang Dynasty Company. Obviously, he made a gesture of goodwill to the Tang Dynasty company.
"Really?"
The sentence was serious, which made Yang Yuanqing a little dizzy, and replied weakly, "Naturally take it seriously." ”
I just don't want to, after this sentence, Chen Jia burst out laughing.
"When I came, I was afraid that your company would have a relationship with us, so I refused my offer. But now it seems that with Mr. Yang's statement, I think, what cooperation between our Tang Dynasty Company and Lenovo Company cannot be reached? ”
"Cooperation, what cooperation?"
The two were a little incomprehensible.
It's not good, it's Chen Jiayi's trick.
The experienced Liu Chuanzhi suddenly became nervous after Chen Jia laughed.
It's just that Yang Yuanqing has been full of words just now, and now he can't explain it so quickly, so he has to wait for Chen Jia to say it again.
"Yes, this time, I came here not to sell Lenovo shares, nor anything else, but to cooperate with Lenovo again."
"Please Mr. Chen."
At this point, Yang Yuanqing also knew that he had fallen into the trap designed by Chen Jiayi. Just now, his side was full of righteousness, and he had the meaning of co-existence with the Tang Dynasty company. Now that Chen Jia is mentioning cooperation one by one, Yang Yuanqing's side really doesn't have many reasons to refuse.
"Okay, I, Chen Jia, don't say secret words."
Chen Jia smiled and said the purpose of her coming this time.
"I want to buy Lenovo's computer technology about IBM."
To build a great brand computer, you need to have great computer technology. At present, the world's top computer companies include Dell, HP, Toshiba, Apple...... and so on. However, these companies, although they will not hand over their computer technology to the Tang Dynasty Company. The only thing that can be cooperated, and that is Lenovo.
Of course, if the real Lenovo computer technology, to be honest, there are not much. However, after Lenovo acquired IBM, there was a lot of IBM computer technology. It also entered the hands of Lenovo. This is for Chen Jiayi. If you can take down the IBM computer technology that was sold to Lenovo at that time. So, for the promotion of Tang Dynasty CPU, to build the Tang Dynasty computer brand. There will be a huge help.
"No, it can't be."
Although he expressed strong support for Tang Dynasty Company just now, when Chen Jiayi said this. Yang Yuanqing's first reaction was to shake his head strongly. However, after saying that, Chen Jiayi and Yang Yuanqing looked at each other, and for a moment, they felt that their faces were a little red. After all, what did I say just now.
But. Even so, Yang Yuanqing still insisted on opposing views.
IBM's computer technology is related to the life and death of Lenovo, how can it be said that it will be sold?
"I see. Mr. Yang should think about it. ”
Chen Jiayi didn't say anything. ..., he knew that if it was him, he would agree.
It's a pity that in this world, others are others, and you are yourself, and you can't change it. For the sake of its own interests, Tang Dynasty Company will definitely not consider the feelings of others too much. Even if. Lenovo is reluctant to give up this technology, and Chen Jiayi has to take it. Because. Apart from Lenovo, Chen Jiayi has no choice.
"This doesn't need to be considered. It's something about the company's key technology, and it's impossible for us at Lenovo to sell it. Even if the price given is higher. ”
Yang Yuanqing has been at the helm of Lenovo Group for many years, although it cannot be compared with Chen Jiayi. However, he is also a talent. In the face of the company's absolute interests, he will definitely not give in. Even if he is facing the Tang Dynasty Company. However, Chen Jiayi came this time to convince the two of them.
"Mr. Yang, do you remember when I introduced IBM computer technology to Lenovo? It's too ruthless for you to refuse now......"
At this time, Chen Jia began to play the favor card.
"Back then, we were indeed helped by Mr. Chen. However, Mr. Chen did not help us associate it in vain. ”
10% of Lenovo's shares is the price Lenovo paid for winning IBM's computer technology.
"Could it be that Lenovo really doesn't talk about any affection?"
To be honest, Chen Jiayi doesn't want to be rude to domestic companies.
The reason why it was moved a few years ago was because the Tang Dynasty company was not yet strong. At that time, the Tang Dynasty company, if he wanted its own development, he could only try his best. However, until now, as a leader of Chinese enterprises, Chen Jiada has always thought about how to help them go abroad.
Faced with Chen Jiayi's words, Yang Yuanqing and Liu Chuanzhi couldn't reply for a long time.
After a long time, Liu Chuanzhi took Chen Jiayi's words.
"Mr. Chen, this has nothing to do with affection. If it were you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have agreed. ”
Hearing this, Chen Jiayi sighed.
He didn't want to be here today because his strategy would definitely hit Lenovo. However, because Chen Jiayi is more generous to national enterprises, he specially came to Lenovo Company to show respect. It's just that in the business world, there is nothing to talk about.
For the development of Tang Dynasty Company, Chen Jiayi finally no longer considered any feelings.
"In that case, then I have to sell 10% of Lenovo's shares."
Speaking of which, the share of domestic computer brands in the world market is not large. Only Lenovo is okay, like Tsinghua Tongfang, Shenzhou, etc., only in some domestic markets, and in the world, there are not many. On the contrary, Taiwan ASUS and Acer are much larger. In addition, other markets belong to Europe, the United States and Japan.
It is understandable that Lenovo is guarding its own technology, but its globalization process is too slow. If nothing else, when will Chinese computer brands really occupy the world. Even Chen Jiayi doesn't know this. For his own interests, and for Chinese computer brands to occupy the world, Chen Jiayi, whatever he says, also wants to use some means.
"Mr. Chen, is it a threat to Lenovo?"
"No, only once, and we can't help it."
After speaking, Chen Jiayi said, "To be honest, IBM's computer technology is not used much in your hands. Judging from the performance of the last few years, your company has only used the IBM brand. And the market only likes this brand. In this case, this technology is not important to your company. ”
There is a stick in the front, and in the back, it is necessary to slowly enlighten.
To be honest, Chen Jiayi didn't want such a threat. Moreover, it threatens to do so. If Lenovo has a hard temper and does not sell it, then Chen Jiayi will be depressed. Moreover, Chen Jiayi cannot be the same as foreign opponents for these domestic opponents. If you don't cooperate, damn it, I'll bankrupt you.
"This ......"
Hearing this, the two seemed to understand a little. Only, they still shook their heads. They know too well that the Tang Dynasty Company is powerful, if the Tang Dynasty Company absorbs their computer technology. So, in the computer market, is there still their Lenovo status?
"Mr. Chen, I understand what you mean. However, if we sell computer technology, will we be able to survive? ”
"Ah, that's what happened."
Finally, Chen Jiayi figured out the key to the disagreement between the two.
What Lenovo is most worried about is that Tang Dynasty Company has entered the computer market, and Lenovo computers have no status. However, is this really the case, Chen Jiayi does not agree with this. In order to dispel their thoughts, Chen Jiayi laughed, and then said, "You two, maybe you didn't understand. Do you think that the entire computer market belongs to Lenovo alone? When the Tang Dynasty computer came out, was it to grab the market of Lenovo computers? ”
This is clearly not
