Chapter 1478: Different from the present day

The ibm group immediately convened a meeting. They originally thought that even the group had always been interested in their pc business, and more than once said that they wanted to acquire.
When they agree, even the group should be very happy.
At the beginning, Liu Chuanzhi’s tone sounded very happy, but how did it take less than an hour to change so much?
Doesn't it mean that Liu Chuanzhi is very prestigious in even thinking about the group? Although he is a minority shareholder, he is the chairman of the board, or the ceo of Taihua Holdings. What did he agree to fail to succeed?
It is said that some people have influenced Liu Chuanzhi’s decision, and this person’s influence on Liu Chuanzhi is still very large. Then who is this person, has already come out.
Feng Yu, definitely what Feng Yu said, Liu Chuanzhi suddenly changed his mind!
In fact, Feng Yu guessed that there is nothing wrong with ibm's pc business, which is indeed a problem. Their products are not cost-effective, the main thing is to do high-end laptops, the decline in desktop sales is the most serious, their thinkcentre, that is, the desktop business has almost no market, except for those orders.
And their thinkpad, which is the laptop business, is not bad. It is mainly a high-end business notebook, and there are not many competitions with them.
For example, they first introduced fingerprint locks, and there are many security encryption features, which are ahead of other PC vendors.
But this can't hide the overall decline in their PC business, and is about to lose money. If they didn't cut back on their desktop business in time, I'm afraid they have lost money now.
But without the desktop business, they have too many employees. If you want to keep no losses, the most direct way is to lay off employees.
The layoffs have a very bad impact on a company. It greatly affects the work mood and working atmosphere of the employees, and it also makes people see that the company can't afford so much.
If you don't lay off employees, there is another way, that is, pay cuts. Like layoffs, employees will be greatly affected and their corporate image will decline.
No layoffs, no pay cuts, ibm will lose money. Although this loss they bear, but which shareholder will be willing to pay? If the time is long, if you can't turn a profit, it will drag down the development of the company. At that time, isn't it necessary to embark on the road of layoffs or pay cuts?
Therefore, it is the most cost-effective to sell the pc business as a whole at this time. It not only reduces expenses, but also earns income, and can concentrate on operating major profitable businesses such as software and servers, and can guarantee that the brand value of ibm will not decline.
It is best to get a portion of the shares of the company, so that they have not completely lost the pc business. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the group at this time, they can still make a profit.
And they can also increase their share of other products in the Asian and Eastern European markets by even thinking about the group's channels, thereby increasing their profits.
When I thought that the group business was bloated and had to be streamlined, they sold the stock, which was a good income.
But this savvy abacus can't be beaten now, Liu Chuanzhi told them that they don't want to buy ibm's pc business!
They have been negotiating for a long time, can ibm only lay off employees? Or to sell the business to other pc manufacturers? But are other PC vendors interested in their business?
Even if there are, other PC vendors can't help ibm expand its market share in Asia and Eastern Europe, even if the group is the leader of Asia and Eastern Europe.
At this time, ibm executives suddenly regretted it. They knew that they should have agreed to think about the group last year. Even when Yinshan launched the xos system, it needed the most support, but they missed it.
If you sold the pc business at that time, you can still get the stock of the company, and then you want to tie up with Yinshan. They are strong and united. It is not impossible for ibm to become the boss of the world IT industry again!
But all these opportunities have been wasted by them, and now it is different.
Because at that time they were reluctant, because at that time they could not see clearly, and because of their arrogance, they were unwilling to be acquired by the rising star of the group.
"Miller, Liu's attitude, is it very determined?" asked the director.
"Resolutely, it is definitely not their negotiation strategy." Miller wants to say that even if it is the negotiation strategy of the other party, we can only recognize it with our nose.
But the other party is really determined, and I don’t want to buy it.
"Miller, go to other vendors. And the desktop business will be reduced again. After the political axe, we also sell notebooks." ibm's ceo said.
"The business of the desktop is shrinking again. I reserve my opinion. Although our sales are doing well, but we lost the desktop, our competitive advantage is not so big. The price of the notebook is more expensive than the desktop. Less," said a director.
"Proactively contacting other vendors to sell our PC business, I think it is not appropriate. Even if it can be sold, the price will not be very high. And after we lose the desktop business, the price will be lower. So reduce the business and There is a conflict between the sale of the overall business." Someone commented.

It’s better for us to talk to Liu again, or do we look for Feng directly? We have so many patented technologies. When we sell the whole business, we also include so many patented technologies. These are very good for the technical improvement of Lianxiang Group. The big benefits, the direction of research and development between us is different."
What Miller thought of at this time, he hesitated for a long time to say: "I remember Liu told me that his favorite is our some patented PC technology. It is better for us to license those patent technologies to Lianxiang Group. So in exchange for some cash?"
"Since our sales have been seriously affected, and we originally planned to do technology development in the future, isn't that also selling technology? As for our overall PC business, I think we should contact the manufacturers of the island countries and South Korea or Baodao. Vendors. These North American manufacturers, which coincide with our market, have seriously reduced our value."
Miller’s remarks were unanimously agreed by the board of directors. They thought about it, this is one of the easiest ways. Those vendors in the island countries are not always trying to buy their pc business, it is better to suggest that they should contact us. Then list the patents, multi-party authorization, and charge fees, which is the best interest.
Liu Chuanzhi is thinking about how to talk to ibm and buy the other party's patented technology. Miller's phone call came over.
"Miller, I said, we even think that the group has given up this acquisition plan."
"No, Liu, I think I will talk to you about this business, you are definitely interested. We do not want to use the patented technology of ibm pc."
