The First Thousand Four Hundred and Seventy-Eight Chapters Are Different Today

The ibm group held a meeting immediately. They originally thought that the Lianxiang group had always been interested in their pc business, and had expressed more than once that they wanted to acquire it. . For more latest chapters visit: ШЩЩ.⑦⑨.сОМ.

When they agreed, Lianxiang Group should be very happy.

At the beginning, Liu Chuanzhi's tone sounded very happy, but why did things change so much in less than an hour?

Doesn't it mean that Liu Chuanzhi is very prestigious in Lianxiang Group? Although he is a minority shareholder, he is the chairman of the board and the CEO of Taihua Holdings. What he agreed to did not succeed?

Or maybe someone else influenced Liu Chuanzhi's decision, and this person had a great influence on Liu Chuanzhi. So who is this person, it has already been called 'desire'.

Feng Yu, it must be what Feng Yu said, and Liu Chuanzhi suddenly changed his mind!

In fact, Feng Yu's guess was not wrong. IBM's PC business has indeed gone wrong. Their products are not cost-effective, and they mainly focus on high-end notebook computers. The sales of desktop computers have declined the most. Their thire, that is, the desktop business, has almost no market, except for those orders from political axe.

And their thinkpad, that is, the notebook computer business, is not bad. They mainly focus on high-end business notebooks, and there are not many competitors who can compete with them.

For example, they first introduced fingerprint locks and many security encryption functions, which are ahead of other PC manufacturers.

But this can't hide the overall decline of their PC business, and the situation is about to lose money. If they hadn't scaled back their desktop business in time, I'm afraid they'd be losing money by now.

But without the desktop business, they have too many employees. If they want to maintain no loss, the most direct way is to lay off employees.

Layoffs are very bad for a company. It greatly affects the work mood and working atmosphere of employees, and it will also make people see that companies can no longer afford so many expenses.

If there is no layoff, there is another way, which is to reduce the salary. Like layoffs, it will greatly affect the employees' emotions and the corporate image will also decline.

Without layoffs and pay cuts, IBM will lose money. Although they can afford this loss, which shareholder would be willing to pay it? Over time, if it cannot turn losses into profits, it will drag down the development of the company. At that time, will it be time to lay off employees or reduce wages?

Therefore, it is the most cost-effective to sell the PC business as a whole at this time. It not only reduces expenditure, but also gains income, and can concentrate on major profitable businesses such as software and servers, and can also ensure that ibm's brand value will not decline.

It's better to get some shares of Lianxiang Group, so that they don't completely lose the PC business. Taking advantage of the opportunity that Lianxiang Group is in the limelight at this time, they can still make a fortune.

And it can also use the channel of Lianxiang Group to allow them to expand the share of other products in the Asian and Eastern European markets, thereby increasing their profits.

When Lianxiang Group's business was bloated and had to be "refined", they sold the stock, which was another good income.

But this "shrewd" abacus can no longer be played. Liu Chuanzhi told them that they don't want to buy IBM's PC business!

They discussed for a long time, could it be that IBM can only lay off staff? Or sell the business to other PC manufacturers? But will other PC manufacturers be interested in their business?

Even if there is, other pc manufacturers can not help ibm to expand the market share of other businesses in Asia and Eastern Europe. Lianxiang Group is the leader in Asia and Eastern Europe.

At this time, IBM's executives suddenly regretted, knowing that they should have agreed to Lianxiang Group last year. Lianxiang Yinshan needed support the most when it launched the xos system, but they missed it.

If you sell the PC business at that time, you can still get the shares of Lianxiang Group, and then have a relationship with Lianxiang Yinshan.

With their strong alliance, it is not impossible for IBM to become the leader of the world IT industry again!

But all these opportunities were 'wasted' by them. Today is different from the past.

Because they were reluctant at that time, because they could not see clearly at that time, and because of their arrogance, they were unwilling to be acquired by a rising star like Lianxiang Group.

"Miller, is Liu's attitude very firm?" a director asked.

"Very resolute, it's definitely not their negotiation strategy." Miller would like to say, even if it is the other party's negotiation strategy, we can only recognize it by pinching our noses.

But the other party is really firm and doesn't want to buy it at all.

"Miller, go and contact other manufacturers. And reduce the desktop business again. In the future, we will also sell notebooks on the political axe side." IBM's CEO said.

"The business of desktop computers is shrinking again. I have reservations about this. Although our sales of political axe purchases are good, but without desktop computers, our competitive advantage will not be so great. The price of notebook computers is, after all, more expensive than desktop computers. Less." A director said.

"I don't think it's appropriate to take the initiative to contact other manufacturers to sell our PC business. Even if we can sell it, the price will not be very high. And after we lose the desktop business, the price will be lower. Therefore, reducing the business and There is a conflict between selling the whole business." Another commented.

"Why don't we discuss it with Liu again, or we can find Feng directly? We have so many patented technologies, and when we sold the whole business this time, we also included so many patented technologies, all of which will greatly improve the technology of Lianxiang Group. The big benefit is that the direction of R&D is different between us."

What Miller thought of at this time, he hesitated for a long time and said: "I remember Liu once told me that his favorite is some of our PC patented technologies. Why don't we license those patented technologies to Lianxiang Group, In exchange for some cash?"

"Since our sales have been seriously affected, and we originally planned to do technology development in the future, shouldn't we also sell technology? As for our overall PC business, I think we should contact the manufacturers in the island countries and those in South Korea or Baodao. Manufacturers. These North American manufacturers, which overlap with our market, severely reduce our value.”

Miller's remarks were unanimously approved by the board of directors. They thought about it, and this was one of the easiest ways. Haven't the manufacturers in those island countries always wanted to buy their PC business, why don't you give a hint and let them take the initiative to contact them. Then list the patents, authorize multiple parties, and charge fees, which is in the best interest.

Liu Chuanzhi was thinking about how to talk to IBM and buy the other party's patented technology when Miller called.

"Miller, I said, our Lianxiang Group has given up on this acquisition plan."

"No, Liu, I think you will be interested in the business I'm discussing with you. Don't you want our ibm's patented technology for PCs?"
