My rebirth is different

Chapter 689 Extremely touted
In the past, Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's personal computer business was only spread in a small range in the same industry.

Moreover, this matter has been dragged on for several years, and Lenovo has never really taken down IBM's personal computer business. Slowly, everyone has almost forgotten about this matter.

Later, after Yu Wenfei bought Lenovo Group, no one mentioned this matter.

The recent news about Lenovo Group and Yuwenfei is all focused on the Huimin Computer launched by the new Lenovo Group.

Everyone was amazed at Yu Wenfei's generosity, and they were all calculating how much money he had invested in it, so no one thought that New Lenovo would come up with a great deal again, spending huge sums of money to directly win IBM's personal computer business!

That's IBM, Big Blue!
Perhaps the acquisition of US$90 billion is not an astonishing amount. After all, Yuwenfei also spent more than 12 billion yuan when it acquired Lenovo Group, which is almost US$[-] billion.

But it has a completely different meaning!

Therefore, after the news came from the other side of the ocean, the domestic news media immediately reported it.

In particular, mainstream media, including authoritative media such as People's Daily and Guangming Daily, spared no effort to interpret the deep meaning of Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's personal computers at length.

"Show our country's prestige!New Lenovo officially goes abroad and goes to the world! "

"The Blue Giant Falls, The Red Giant Stands Up!" "

"The new PC giant, the new Lenovo Group! "

"How big is Yuwenfei's ambition to acquire IBM? "

"No. [-] in China?No, the goal of the new Lenovo is the world's first! "

The new Lenovo Group is a domestic company, while IBM is a giant in the global PC industry. This is a case of a Chinese company acquiring a large American company.

At that time, the reform and opening up had not been long, and the self-confidence of the country, including the people, was not so sufficient. Any domestic company or individual that made even a little achievement in the world would be sought after by the domestic media, not to mention the acquisition of foreign industries. What about giant companies?

Therefore, even the authoritative media personally ended up touting a wave of new Lenovo Group.

As for the reaction of domestic netizens, it is much purer and flattering!

Don't say bad things, even if you don't like it, anyone who dares to say a word will be sprayed by other netizens and quit the Internet.

"Cousin bought IBM again? This... this is too powerful!"

"Mr. Fei is mighty, it's obvious to all! It's my idol. It's best to buy it together with Microsoft. In the future, the computers we use will be made in China from the hardware to the operating system, haha..."

"How much money does Mr. Fei have? IBM seems to have a market value of over [-] billion US dollars. How can you afford it?"

"Don't get me wrong, this acquisition is just buying IBM's personal computer business, and the total transaction volume is only [-] billion US dollars. To put it bluntly, it is actually equivalent to buying THINKPAD, not the entire IBM company."

"THINKPAD? It's a good buy! It's my favorite notebook. Except for the higher price, there is nothing wrong with it. It should be cheaper to buy THINKPAD in China in the future. Good news."

"I'm planning to buy a laptop recently, and I'm hesitant about Apple and THINKPAD. Now it's all right, don't hesitate, go straight to THINPAD and support Fei Zong!"

"By the way, I remember last time Feizong bought a computer brand called Alien. Why haven't we seen it in China yet? This time the acquisition of IBM will not be sold in China either."

"It should not be that fast. It is said that the alien computer is very cool. It is true that it is not sold in China, and the price is probably not cheap."

Netizens are right in discussing that the Alien computer has not been listed in the domestic market. That is because Alien has not been merged into the company for a long time, the integration at the company level has not been completely completed, and the production capacity has not kept up. The high-end gaming PC market in the United States has not yet been fully occupied, and they are not busy introducing the domestic market.

Besides, at that time in 2003, who would spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a computer dedicated to playing games?
Maybe some families have the financial conditions, but parents will definitely not buy it for their children. After all, the shape of the alien computer is not used for "serious" work and study at first glance. It is fancy, and even the hydraulic system uses the chassis. It's above, the whole chassis will be deformed like a Transformer when it is turned on...

But THINKPAD is different. Although its price is also high, it is a well-known "high-end business computer", and its sales in China have always been good.

After the review in the United States is passed, THINKPAD will be listed on a large scale in China, and it will be promoted with emphasis.

Similarly, Lenovo's low-end and mid-end computers will also start to go global with the help of IBM's sales network that has been operated for many years.

The profit of high-end computers is very high, but the sales volume is still there. If we really want to increase the volume, we still need to rely on low-end computers.

Dell's success is one of the most convincing examples.

Of course, there will be no projects to benefit the people in foreign countries. The people abroad are generally rich, and there is no need for Yu Wenfei to subsidize them.

SMG, that is, Modu Culture Radio, Film and Television Group Co., Ltd.

On the floor of Dragon TV, in a studio, Ye Xiaorong had just finished recording a program and was packing her things when the director hurried in.

"Xiao Rong, are you ready for your celebrity talk show? Have you found a guest for the first episode?"

When Ye Xiaorong heard the director's words, she got up quickly, and replied with a smile: "I have contacted a few well-known local people in Shanghai through my friends and the relationship in Taiwan. Time schedules, we are all very busy people.”

"Those people go to the back row first. You should immediately contact Facebook Holdings and invite Yu Wenfei to come to our channel for an exclusive interview. Since your program is a celebrity interview, there has been no one more famous than Yu Wenfei in our Magic City in the past two years. , and he has just acquired IBM's personal computer business unit, which has caused a sensation in China, so if you take this opportunity to do an exclusive interview with him, your program will also become a hit."

The director pulled her aside and instructed in a low voice.

Ye Xiaorong looked perplexed, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Of course I want to invite the famous Mr. Fei to come on the show, but...but he doesn't seem to accept interviews. I have invited him several times in the past, but he was directly rejected. .I was thinking... I don't have that much face, no one knows me."

A smile appeared on the director's round face, and he said confidently: "Despite the invitation, the other side will not refuse this time."

Ye Xiaorong's eyes widened in surprise. Since the director said so, it means that the stage has already made arrangements, and someone has said hello.

She immediately replied: "That's great! I'll arrange this right away, and I'll invite Mr. Fei for the first episode!"

Yu Wenfei has indeed rarely accepted interviews from TV media for more than a year, because there is no need, his personal Facebook is actually the biggest media!
Which traditional media, whether it's TV stations or newspapers and magazines, can compare to his Facebook, which has nearly 4000 million fans?

Every time he posts something on his personal facebook, tens of millions of people see it immediately, the speed of spread and influence...

How can it be compared with traditional media?

Therefore, there is no need for him to accept interviews from traditional media, and Yu Wenfei was originally a relatively low-key person...

…………

However, no matter how low-key Yu Wenfei is, the acquisition of IBM's personal computer business is such a big deal, a press conference will still be held.

Reporters from all walks of life gathered here at IBM's New York headquarters. Today, IBM and Star Technology will officially announce the news.

Everyone knew about this, but the details of the acquisition still need to be learned at the press conference.

"Welcome everyone to the IBM headquarters. Everyone must know the things to be announced today, so we will not waste any time. I officially announce that IBM's personal computer business unit will be sold to Star Technology Holdings from Xiangjiang. THINKPAD This brand, under the banner of Star Technology, will definitely shine as it should..."

Peng Mingsheng announced with a microphone in his face.

Of course he was happy. Someone finally took over the personal computer business unit that had not been sold for several years. After selling this burden, IBM could concentrate on those high value-added software service businesses in the future.

You don’t need to be like before, you have to open a factory, do sales channels, and do after-sales service. You’re exhausted, and you end up with a loss at the end of the year.

Moreover, in Palmisano’s speech, he also intentionally referred to Star Technology as a company of Heung Kong. In fact, it is correct to say that. After all, Star Technology’s controlling shareholder is Hong Kong Jiale, which can be regarded as a Hong Kong-funded company.In this way, it is also prepared for the review by the Foreign Investment Committee. After all, the company in Xiangjiang sounds closer ideologically than the company in mainland China.

Standing next to him is Yang Yuanqing, today he is the representative of Xing Technology.

Yang Yuanqing also said with a smile on his face: "I am very happy to be able to acquire such a world-renowned brand as THINKPAD. On behalf of Star Technology Holdings and New Lenovo Group, I would like to make a statement. The brand THINKPAD will not only disappear in the future, but will also be better. Survive and dedicate more and better new computers to consumers around the world!"

Yu Wenfei and the rest of the people all sat under the stage.

"Mr. Fei, why don't you speak up? What a great opportunity, so many foreign reporters are here." Hu Jingjing approached Yu Wenfei and whispered.

Yu Wenfei smiled and asked calmly: "And then? Is there any benefit?"

"Ah... and then you become famous. Think about it, you will be reported in the old American newspapers, and many people will know you and remember your name. How prestigious."

Yu Wenfei didn't explain any more, now is not the time for so-called "prestige", and it is not something to be proud of with a large amount of cash to buy industries that others have eliminated.

When I really enter the United States, more Americans, and even people from all over the world, will remember me!
