My rebirth is different

Chapter 738 Star Technology Reorganization
This trip to the United States is just a formality. The acquisition of IBM's personal computer business by Star Technology has passed the approval of the Foreign Investment Review Board of the United States.

And it was passed by the Congress, and the handover can be officially carried out.

Therefore, except for Yu Wenfei and Pei'er, the rest of the people had already arrived in New York ahead of schedule.

Like Zhou Mengyi, Fang Zhiyan, Shen Nanpeng and the executives of New Lenovo Group.

After Yu Wenfei arrived, he went directly to the Foreign Investment Review Board and signed a letter of guarantee, guaranteeing that after he acquired IBM's personal computer business, he would not use the company's technology to do anything that would endanger the national security of the United States.

And promise to abide by the relevant laws and regulations of the United States, treat all employees of the former IBM department well, and not dismiss employees without reason...

The so-called capitalist free market actually has stricter requirements when dealing with foreign capital, and is not as free as they claim.

But Yu Wenfei didn't care. His acquisition of IBM's personal computer business was a purely commercial acquisition, and he never thought about doing anything that would endanger his country and society.

During this visit, Yu Wenfei also met with Mike, the head of IBM's personal computer business unit.

According to the agreement, the employees of IBM's personal computer business unit and the entire department will be handed over.Of course, employees can choose to leave their jobs, and IBM will pay appropriate compensation.

If the employees do not resign on their own, they will become employees of Star Technology Holdings in the future, and all employment contracts will have to be re-signed.

Although the company has become an employee of a "foreign-funded" company from a local company in the United States, Star Technology has promised that the salary will not be reduced, and it will remain the same.

"Star Technology Company reorganized and established Star Electronics Group, which is divided into Lenovo brand business group, alien brand business group, and THINKPAD brand business group. The research and development and marketing departments of the THINKPAD brand will still be located in the United States and Japan, up to you Served as senior vice president, in charge of R&D and global marketing. Production can be outsourced to Lenovo brand business group. They have a very advanced production line in mainland China, and it is no problem to undertake the production of THINKPAD products.

In addition, mobilizing elite engineers from the R&D department, the THINKPAD brand will set up a new project department to develop new products! "

Yu Wenfei said simply.

Many people know that THINKPAD is a sub-brand of IBM, and IBM is a company belonging to the United States, so they think that THINKPAD originated in the United States.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding.

The design of ThinkPad was inspired by traditional lunch boxes. The original design work of ThinkPad was undertaken by IBM's Yamato Design Center in Japan. The pure black exterior of the ThinkPad is inspired by a traditional Japanese lacquerware lunch box: the Shokado Bento, which is black all over and is often used to pack lunch.

Even later, many generations of THINKPAD products were still launched by Yamato Design Center.The American side is mainly responsible for marketing.

Mike nodded and gave himself the position of senior vice president, which is acceptable. In short, he is still in charge of the original business, and he can get started directly without any adaptation.

But what does it mean to develop new products? Does the THINKPAD brand have to launch other product lines?
Since its inception, although the THINKPAD brand has also produced desktops and even servers, notebooks are the most familiar to everyone, and many people even regard THINPAD notebooks as all of its products.

In fact, it is just a product line under the THINKPAD brand, representing THINKPAD brand notebooks.

Under THINKPAD, there are only two product series that everyone knows, T series and X series.

The T series is a high-end business notebook, generally with a [-]-inch screen, and its weight and configuration are mainstream.

The X series are thin and light business notebooks, all with [-]-inch screens, very light and thin, and easy to carry.

These two series are the soul products of THINKPAD, and it is because of these two products that THINKPAD is famous all over the world.

In fact, there are many other series of models under THINKPAD, but most of them have been discontinued, and they have not been successful.

Although he didn't know what new product he was going to develop, Mike didn't ask. He knew the identity of the young man in front of him. He was his boss, and it was said that he had countless companies!
For specific things, there will naturally be other people to talk to me later, and I don't need the boss to explain to me in person.

…………

Matters in the United States were handled very quickly, with only a two-day delay, on January 23, which is the day of the New Year's Eve.

In the morning, Yu Wenfei returned to Shanghai.

Several shareholders of New Lenovo Group have already come to the science and technology park to wait for him in advance, because Yu Wenfei asked Peier to inform everyone that there will be relatively large adjustments on the group side, and a board meeting needs to be held.

In fact, the equity relationship of the new Lenovo Group is also relatively simple, that is, the two capital state-owned assets represented by the State-owned Assets Affairs Office of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Modu International Trust and Investment Company, and Yuwenfei.

They are all their own people, so it is easier to talk.

After Yu Wenfei returned to the company, he didn't care about taking a rest, and went directly into the conference room.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang, Mr. Li, I kept you waiting for so long." He said apologetically.

"Haha, we're fine, we're drinking tea and chatting here. Mr. Fei, you just got off the plane, why don't you take a rest first?" Mr. Wang of Modu International Investment said with a smile.

Yu Wenfei waved his hand, "No need, let's get straight to the point, finish the matter early, and you can go back. Today is thirty, I'm sorry to delay everyone's New Year."

"President Fei, you're being polite. It's all for work. If you can work overtime during the Chinese New Year, of course we can too." President Liu also said hastily.

After Yu Wenfei sat down, he asked Peier to send a document to each of the three bosses.

Then he said: "All the procedures at IBM have been completed, and Mr. Yang is leading the team to take over. We will not discuss those trivial matters today. We invite you to come over because there are important things to discuss. Please take a look at the documents in your hand first." Document, this is a restructuring plan I made for several major businesses under Star Technology Holdings."

The three nodded and opened the documents in their hands.

Before coming, Pei'er had said what issues to discuss in this meeting, and everyone was a little bit at the bottom of their hearts.

According to Yuwenfei's plan, Star Technology Holdings will establish Star Electronics Group, and Star Electronics will establish three major subsidiaries: New Lenovo, THINKPAD, and Alien Company.

New Lenovo Company is mainly engaged in the production of mid-to-low-end desktops, mid-to-mid-range mobile phones, mid-to-low-end notebook computers, and computer mobile phones.Among the three subsidiaries, it is considered to be a heavy asset, because it has to manufacture for three brands at the same time, and the scale of the production plant will be relatively large.

The positioning of THINKPAD company is different, mainly engaged in high-end notebooks.New product lines will be expanded later, including mobile phone and tablet business!

Alien Company, very simply, is high-end game machines and laptops!
