My rebirth is different.

Chapter 666 Another Senior

When it comes to Lenovo Group, Yang Yuanqing cannot be bypassed. It can even be said that Lenovo's real achievements were realized in his hands.

This is also a genius. At the age of 27, he served as the general manager of the CAD department of Lenovo Group. In the following two years, Yang Yuanqing increased the annual sales of the department from 3000 million yuan to 3 million yuan, developed a new sales model, and successfully introduced A new concept of "distribution".

At the age of 29, Yang Yuanqing became the general manager of the Microcomputer Division of Lenovo Computer Company.Under his leadership, Lenovo sold 4.2 units of its own-brand computers that year, ranking among the top three in the Chinese market.For this reason, Yang Yuanqing has been hailed as a "sales wizard" and "tech star" by all walks of life in China.

At the age of 30, he served as the assistant president of Lenovo Group, the vice chairman of the executive committee of Lenovo Group, and became a core member of the decision-making level of Lenovo Group.

31 years old, promoted to vice president of the group.Under his leadership, Lenovo Computer Company achieved No.1 computer sales in China!
At the age of 36, that is, in 2000, Liu Chuanzhi officially passed the dark blue Lenovo flag to him at the staff meeting, which also represented the handover of the two generations of core figures of Lenovo Group.

At the age of 37, he officially served as the president and CEO of Lenovo Group. That is, after he took office, he began to really promote Lenovo Group's acquisition of IBM's personal computer business.

This person, Yu Wenfei also admires very much, after acquiring Lenovo, he will be entrusted with important responsibilities!

…………

"Yuan Qing, do you really want to buy IBM's business? Their personal computer business unit has been losing money these years, right? They can make money if they are in our hands?" Liu Chuanzhi asked worriedly.

Yang Yuanqing said confidently: "Don't worry, Chairman, IBM's business focus is no longer on the personal computer business, and they don't bother to do it. Moreover, the department is bloated and the expenses are high, so naturally they cannot make a profit. But what they don't value is for us. It is very important instead. The technology, personnel, and sales channels accumulated by the IBM PC business unit over the years are all in great need of us.”

"Well, since you are so confident, then I will support you too! By the way, we have prepared million US dollars, will the other party agree?" Liu Chuanzhi also let go of his worries and smiled on his face.

"If you don't agree, then continue to wait. Anyway, we can afford to wait, and IBM can't afford to wait. In order to get us to agree to the acquisition, they have been lobbying for more than three years. Chairman Liu must have been lobbied by them at that time." Yang Yuanqing Said without hesitation.

"Haha, yes, when they sent a representative to contact me, I was taken aback. When will we, Lenovo, be able to acquire IBM? But at that time, I refused directly. I really couldn't afford it. Good guy, a Open mouth is 16 billion US dollars, it is not worth that much money if we sell Lenovo." Liu Chuanzhi laughed heartily.

"Our idea is very simple, 13 million US dollars in cash, and another million US dollars in shares, for a total of billion US dollars. If they agree, they will buy it, and if they don't agree, they will wait. I guess, if it is soon, it will be the end of the year. If it is slow, it will be in the middle of next year, and IBM will not be able to persist, because after one year, the loss of the personal computer business department will only be to million U.S. dollars." Yang Yuanqing feels that he has already won the victory here.

"I recently heard someone tell me that a domestic company wanted to acquire Lenovo. Have you heard about it?" Liu Chuanzhi suddenly remembered something and said casually.

"Impossible. Our domestic strength is not weak. Lenovo has already achieved the number one position in this industry. Could it be that Peking University Tongfang or Tsinghua Unisplendour wants to acquire it? No way. They also have their own PC business and their own brand. There is no benefit for us. Besides, with their strength, they are still far away from buying us Lenovo!" Yang Yuanqing frowned and analyzed.

"Don't worry about it. I've told the leader that it's impossible to agree to this matter. Our association is getting better and better, and our strength is getting stronger and stronger. There is no reason for others to pick peaches." Liu Chuanzhi waved his hand confidently. said.

The two of them are only thinking about their own calculations, but they don't know what happened on the other side of the ocean at this time.

…………

Zhou Mengyi has officially entrusted Citibank as an acquisition consultant, and formally issued an acquisition offer to IBM.

America, Armonk, New York, in the IBM headquarters building, Palmisano was looking at a document in his hand with a look of surprise.

Sam Palmisano is currently at the helm of IBM, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO, who just succeeded Gerstner last year.

Oh, he is not Chinese, Peng Mingsheng is just a Chinese name he gave himself, his original name was Samuel Palmisano.

"What happened? Why did another Chinese company want to acquire our PC business unit? Is the global PC market picking up, or did our PC business unit develop some amazing patents?" He asked his assistant in surprise road.

"No, not at all. The global computer market has not recovered, but the competition has become increasingly fierce. Our personal computer business department has no new patents. As you know, the chairman, our THINKPAD notebook computer has not changed its appearance for many years. No, we don't know what the engineers in the PC business department are busy with every day." The assistant replied calmly.

"Then what does this Chinese company mean, and it also quoted a price of 14 billion US dollars. Wait...I just found out that they still have to pay all in cash! My God, when will Chinese companies be so rich Is it possible to get more than one billion US dollars at once?" Palmisano exclaimed.

"But it's always a good thing, isn't it? We've been talking with Lenovo for three years, and the other party has been ambiguous, and the price has been suppressed so badly, I really don't want to talk for another three years. Now there is a competitor, I think Lenovo should be in a hurry." The assistant replied.

Peng Mingsheng nodded, with a bright smile on his face.

When it comes to business, the active side certainly has the upper hand. In the current negotiation with Lenovo, IBM was originally at a disadvantage because they were in a hurry to sell, and Lenovo was the only buyer!
But Lenovo is not in a hurry to buy, so it has an advantage.

However, this new company called "Star Technology" suddenly appeared, and the situation changed immediately. IBM's personal computer business suddenly became popular, with two buyers and one seller. This matter became interesting. Ming Sheng's mood also improved.

His rise in IBM relied on the software department, and he saved the decline of Big Blue.

Peng Mingsheng has long seen clearly that the hardware business has no future, the market is too mature, there are too many giant companies, and the competition is cruel.The software service business is much more comfortable, with high profit margins, and contacts with big customers, without the need to establish huge and cumbersome sales channels.

Therefore, it is imperative to cut off the personal computer business unit!
"You should contact and talk to this Star Technology first, and tell them that their quotation is too low, we want... 17 billion US dollars! Oh, don't forget to inform Lenovo, if you don't raise the quotation, this It doesn't matter to them if it's a business." With a roll of his eyes, Peng Mingsheng made the price too high by another million US dollars.

…………

After receiving IBM's reply, Zhou Mengyi looked at the quotation of 17 billion US dollars and smiled without saying a word.

On the other side, Lenovo is a little anxious. What's the situation? Why did a competitor pop up all of a sudden!
What is the origin of Star Technology? Why didn't I know that there is such a company in China that has the strength to spend more than one billion US dollars at once, and also wants to acquire IBM's personal computer business unit.

This matter is difficult to handle, and it ruined my own good deeds!
"What is the origin of this star technology company, and what do they want to do!" Yang Yuanqing walked around in the office with a very gloomy expression.

Several vice presidents were in his office, and one of them should know the origin of Star Technology, got up and replied: "This Star Technology has a lot of background, has Mr. Yang heard of Yu Wenfei? Star Technology is his company .”

Yang Yuanqing was stunned immediately, "Yu Wenfei? Isn't he an Internet company? Facebook, WeChat, etc. Why did Star Technology come into our PC business market again?"

"It is indeed his company, and I also found out that this Star Technology company now has more than 200 billion yuan in cash lying on its books." The vice president replied with a heavy face.

Yang Yuanqing raised his forehead and sighed, "Yu Wenfei is still my elementary school brother. I am a senior... I am ashamed! Our Lenovo company has been established for 20 years, and the market value of the entire group today is only 20 billion US dollars. My junior has been in business for a year. , the company has not yet been listed, and it has more than 200 billion cash in hand..."

The vice presidents had nothing to say. Everyone thought Mr. Yang was a genius before, and he had reached the top of the Lenovo Group president in ten years, but now he is nothing compared to Yu Wenfei.

Moreover, both of them came from Shanghai Jiaotong University. Could it be that Jiaotong University is prone to geniuses...

"Okay, I'll take care of this. I'll find my old schoolmates, try my best to meet Yu Wenfei, and find out what he means. If he can provide funds to help us acquire IBM's personal computer business, that's still a big deal." It’s a good thing, letting him be our strategic investor in Lenovo at that time is equivalent to adding another powerful ally! I think it’s okay.” Yang Yuanqing became excited as he spoke.

He feels that he has found a solution to the problem, what is a master, he is it!

In adversity, turn unfavorable factors into favorable factors for yourself!

…………

Yang Yuanqing is considered an outstanding alumnus of Jiaotong University. Although he is not very familiar with Principal Lin, he still knows Principal Li.

So, through Principal Li's relationship, Yu Wenfei was contacted.

After Yu Wenfei received the call from Principal Li, he was also quite stunned. He went around a lot, but he didn't expect that Yang Yuanqing was still his senior.

　It's the end of the month, everyone, don't waste your monthly pass, just vote for it.
