Chapter 1015

While the discussion of Tian'an company is in full swing, Lenovo, which learned the news from IBM, is like a big enemy.

It is said that an old brand enterprise that has been struggling in the domestic PC industry for so many years should not be so afraid of a new company that has been established for only more than a year.

But when Liu Chuanzhi thought that Wu Tao was the backstage of Tian'an company, he couldn't help but look up to the competitiveness of his opponent.

In particular, after only more than a year of development, Tian'an company can achieve such a position in the industry, which also shows its good strength and strong competitiveness.

The meeting room was filled with smoke.

Every time the problem of Tian'an company is involved, it will always be particularly depressing, as if Tian'an company has become a mountain on Lenovo's head.

Liu Chuanzhi is particularly dissatisfied with this situation, although he can't get rid of this feeling.

So he knocked on the table and said, "tell me, don't smoke there one by one! What about you, he Zhiqiang! "

He Zhiqiang is very depressed. Everyone else is breathing in the clouds. The boss only operates on himself, and every time!

However, since he was named, he Zhiqiang couldn't be indifferent. He cut off his cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him, looked around the people and said, "as I said, we don't have to think too much and fight with Tian'an company directly. I don't believe that an old company with a history of more than ten years can't compete with a new company that has just been established for more than a year? "

Liu Chuanzhi stared, "don't forget, behind Tianan company is the whole Apocalypse investment. How much capital do we have to fight with them?"

He Zhiqiang opened his mouth and was speechless.

Yang Yuanqing then spoke, "President Liu, colleagues, I think it is most appropriate for our notebook business to take the route of independent research and development based on the current foundation and strength of Lenovo."

"... of course, I admit that IBM's ThinkPad has great brand influence in the industry and is well recognized in the international market. But from a technical point of view, it is not as difficult as we thought. "

"... if there are technical difficulties and barriers, I think it's not too late to talk about acquisition in two years."

He Zhiqiang retorted, "but now Tian'an company is going to take action. If they take the acquisition route and we take independent research and development, it is difficult to avoid being ridden by them."

With that, he Zhiqiang looked back, touched Liu Chuanzhi's eyes and immediately shrunk his neck.

Liu Chuanzhi surprisingly didn't refute, but looked at other humanitarians: "do you have any opinions? Talk about them."

As a result, the needles could be heard in the conference room, and no one was willing to come forward and have a boring discussion.

Liu Chuanzhi looked at his watch and knew that if he squeezed it again, he couldn't squeeze anything out. He simply put his hands together and said, "well, I'll say some opinions."

Now everyone immediately opened the book and began to record.

"First, recently, the R & D department has done a good job in the development of the network service platform and system integration package of Lenovo computer, timely filled the gap with Tian'an computer, and confirmed the independent R & D strength."

"... therefore, Yuanqing, you should immediately carry out the evaluation of notebook computer products, clarify the R & D cycle and risks of independent notebook computers, and provide reference for subsequent decisions."

Yang Yuanqing nodded and wrote down the content.

Liu Chuanzhi looked back at he Zhiqiang, "Zhiqiang, you continue to follow up the contact of IBM-PC business. At the same time, inquire about the trend of PC business of other foreign enterprises and look for possible opportunities for technical cooperation on laptops... "

Time quickly entered the new year's day in 2002.

During this time, both Tian'an company and Lenovo company have been making intensive preparations for IBM's PC business.

In IBM's view, Lenovo, as a listed company in China, is obviously much stronger than Tian'an in terms of its background and strength. So instinctively, IBM is inclined to Lenovo rather than Tian'an.

Accordingly, the olive branch thrown out by Tian'an company is not positive.

Tian'an company, general manager's office.

Anjong is under a lot of pressure these days.

According to the professional evaluation of the Apocalypse investment project team, IBM's PC business is valued at $800 million, excluding $500 million in liabilities.

Taken together, the overall acquisition scale is as high as 10 billion yuan.

At present, the valuation of Tian'an company has not reached this level, so that some ants have a sense of overestimation to eat elephants in this acquisition.

This can not help but make her doubt the rationality of this acquisition.

But looking back, compared with the $25 billion acquisition of Compaq just confirmed by HP, this multi billion dollar business acquisition is nothing.

An Rong felt some contradictions, but she was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity.

After all, the acquisition of IBM-PC business not only fills the gap in the notebook business of Tian'an company, but also directly owns the international marketing network.

In addition, the additional effect brought by ThinkPad brand awareness is absolutely stimulating progress for the development of Tian'an company.

But now it seems that not only the road of acquisition is difficult, but also the process of integration and development is full of challenges.

Just then the office door opened.

An Rong ordered without raising his head: "Tong Tong, go and help me change a cup of coffee."

"When you are under pressure, you must drink less coffee."

Hearing the sound, an Rong, who has always been a strong woman, showed a rare touch of shame. He immediately buried his head in the document and said, "Why are you here?"

Wu Tao casually sat on the chair in front of his desk and said, "you haven't returned to the Royal Garden Villa for more than half a month. Didn't I come to see you?"

"Ah ~" an Rong exclaimed, "has it been so long?"

Wu Tao nodded seriously, "absolutely, otherwise Meijie won't doubt whether there is something wrong with us."

An Rong hurriedly explained, "it's my negligence. I'm really busy these days. The progress of the acquisition negotiations is not ideal. My mind is buzzing all day. I really can't calm down. "

"What's the problem?" Wu Tao asked naturally.

An Rong closed the documents in hand, got up, stretched himself, walked to the sofa area next to him and said, "they are obviously more optimistic about Lenovo. It is said that Lenovo plans to move its headquarters to New York after acquiring IBM-PC business."

Wu Tao couldn't help laughing. The name "American emperor's conscience" was really not boasted. At this time, it was already beginning.

"What about compaq's PC business?"

An Rong threw a document on the tea table and said, "it has long been swallowed by HP."

Wu Tao opened it and saw that it was in September. It seems that he has neglected time.

"Moreover, the amount of compaq's acquisition is larger, which is not suitable for the current Tian'an company."

Wu Tao nodded when he saw the $25 billion acquisition scale. Leaving the document, he said with a relaxed face: "I heard brother Fei say that you are going to the United States for negotiation after new year's day. I will go with you. I'm more experienced in fighting Lenovo... "
