Section 189 Supercomputer
On the second day, all employees of the group knew about the benefits that the president personally gave them. Generally speaking, only some teachers in universities can send out laptops, or they are the “government” executives who have never heard of such a company. There are hundreds of thousands of laptops and computers, and the total amount is as high as several billion yuan. It is reported that all major computer manufacturers at home and abroad have sent their competent business representatives to the headquarters of the energy group.
The top five factories in the world have annual sales of millions to tens of millions of units, but whoever wins this order can put on a posture that is to cooperate with the energy group, even a fool knows that the energy group has registered Topping the world’s largest company is a matter of time.
According to the latest information from Forbes, China National Petroleum Corporation, the world's largest company, has a market value of more than 340 billion U.S. dollars. The energy group currently conservatively estimates that it has reached 300 billion U.S. dollars. If some of the energy group’s foreign investment exceeds that of CNPC Yes, so to cooperate with energy groups, what you need is a reputation.
Each major group has its own tactics, but Lenovo Group has taken the lead before the competition begins. The chairman of the Energy Group’s board of directors will meet with Lenovo Group President Liu Chuanzhi before the bidding starts. This makes Lenovo Group’s business. The representatives felt low, and some other small groups basically gave up as soon as they heard this.
Before Li Cong saw Liu Chuanzhi, the anti-unfair trade investigation team of the Ministry of Commerce had already arrived at the energy group. It turned out that Li Cong’s remarks had touched certain provisions of the anti-unfair competition law. Before the public bidding, Li Cong was If you can’t see Liu Chuanzhi, several major groups filed a complaint with the Ministry of Commerce. These are all international giants in the industry. The country has to make a gesture, but it doesn’t take it too seriously, otherwise it’s not just to find a director-level cadre. Come to be the leader of the investigation team.
"President, the plenipotentiary representative of the Dell Group of the United States and the representative of Taiwan Acer have been waiting outside for a long time. They asked you when you can meet them." Li Cong's presidential secretary must be the sixth. The ability was immediately appointed to do other things, so the rate of change is basically maintained every two months.
"Let them continue to wait for me, report me if they have nothing to do, and the central government will come down to the investigation team, mother, when we were checked by the'government' and told them to wait, just say I was in a meeting and opened See them when you're finished." Li Cong was really angry this time. Although the central government explained to him that he was just acting, it was still uncomfortable and bad reputation.
"Okay, President, is there anything else?" This secretary is different from the previous ones in that he is concise. He never said a word to Li Cong. Zhang's is not as good as the previous ones. It can only be regarded as Generally pretty.
"Bring me the report about this purchase. I will take a look at it. When I'm off work, I will take the two representatives to Director Li. If it's okay, you can go out first." Acer is among the top three computer manufacturers in the world, but the industry is far behind the industry, and it is too far behind energy.
The country also has to be concerned about the face of the international community. This time the complaints of several major companies have to be shown to Li Cong. Li Cong canceled the meeting with Liu Chuanzhi. However, in this information age, they just don’t meet each other and rely on video. The question, this is not, the technical department has already contacted the meeting, and the executives of Lenovo Group are waiting for Li Cong to hold the procurement meeting.
After an introduction, the meeting began.
"Mr. Li, first of all, please allow me to extend my lofty greetings to you on behalf of the 20,000 employees of Lenovo Group. Thank you very much for your support of our Chinese private brands. Lenovo Group will definitely go all out to meet your company's requirements." Liu Chuanzhi The performance is very exciting. This is a breakthrough for Lenovo Group’s expansion. The international t industry has been shuffled for many years. It is difficult for several groups with similar strengths to stand out. Today, it is not you first or me first. It has not been a long time. It's time to win the first place in the year. Even though Lenovo's global ranking is fifth, the difference between the top five is basically not very large. Everyone has the ability to win the championship.
The orders of energy groups are mostly one aspect, and the other is reputation. This is also the focus of competition among major groups.
"Thank you very much, President Liu. I know that your Lenovo Group is the best computer made by us, so I support you. Our company has been very happy with you before. We don’t talk about the purchase of billions of dollars in the front. I want to talk to you alone this time, can you let your other members avoid it." If Li Cong is too lazy to talk to Lenovo for those personal computers, it’s mainly for the giant computer. Li Cong checked the information in 2002. At that time, Lenovo was able to produce computers with trillion operations. Now it has reached ten trillion operations. This is the point.
Liu Chuanzhi knew that Li Cong had something important to say, and quickly let all his subordinates go out, but don’t offend this God of Wealth. These hundreds of thousands of computers have made hundreds of millions of profits. No one wants to make money. .
"Mr. Li, there are only two of us. I don't know what you need?" Liu Chuanzhi asked after the last one went out and closed the door.
"Mr. Liu, I need a supercomputer. What kind of supercomputer can you provide me with Lenovo's best technology." Li Cong is straightforward, mainly to see if it meets his own standards, and if it doesn't. You have to find a foreign company. After all, if you can't satisfy the domestic market, it's not a matter of patriotic buying domestic products.
"Data terminal? There is only a slight gap between our Lenovo Group and the world's most advanced technology. We can manufacture electronic computers with a computing rate of 14 trillion operations per second, and the technology can reach one trillion operations, but our tests are only It has reached ten trillion times, and I think your company’s electronic terminals don’t need such a high number of calculations.” Of course, it’s not necessary if it’s just a company, but now it has to command the satellites in the sky, which is a bit stretched. , But Tek said that it’s okay to calculate hundreds of millions of times, and he will definitely modify it, so we won’t worry about it.
"Okay, that's it. I need a machine like this, okay?" This can be the core of Lenovo Group. No one has ever bought this thing, because no one needs this. Liu Chuanzhi still wonders about the energy group. What is it for, what is it for such a large "waste"?
The two of them talked about each other for more than half an hour, and finally reached an agreement. Lenovo Group assembles such a giant computer for the Energy Group, but in the future, the Energy Group purchases all Lenovo’s purchases on the t side, and takes it out. Five billion yuan to stay in Lenovo Group, accounting for 6% of the shares, I don’t know if the economic crisis has left these companies short of money, so I always get people to buy shares. Li Cong has always disliked such an industry. , Looks glamorous, but it doesn't make much money.
It takes a month for Lenovo Group to produce this supercomputer. The price is as high as one billion yuan, and it has to sign a non-disclosure agreement. If there is a leak, the energy group will have to pay tens of billions of indemnities. In fact, Tektronix is better than this. Well, the reason for buying such a thing is to have a platform for transformation.
