Extraordinary Genius

“President Feng, IBM people have contacted me again and they want us to do a favor. ”

“Help with what?” Feng Yu is curious, since everyone is no longer cooperating, the acquisition is not discussed, how can we help? Do you know them well?

“Raise the price! ”

Feng Yu understands that IBM is looking for a new buyer, fearing that the other party's bid is too low, so let Lenovo Group fake the acquisition and raise the price.

“Oh, so what's in it for us?” Help for nothing is definitely not possible. IBM is not a Huaxia company. Everyone is a competitor and not one of us.

“All IBM patented technology for PCs can be licensed to one of us. Not short-term authorization, but long-term authorization. ”

Authorization does not amount to selling, authorization to Lenovo Group means that Lenovo Group can be used, research and development can be carried out on the existing basis, and technology can be upgraded. But there are equally limitations to assuming that the Group can no longer delegate technology to other enterprises without the right of use and ownership.

However, this permanent authorization is sufficient to allow even the Group to use it at all times during the patent protection period, at a cost of only one authorization, and at a much lower price.

In this way, Lenovo Group's technology will be greatly complemented and upgraded so that they will also have full access to high-end markets.

“What about the licensed price? Do you have a deal?” Feng Yu asked.

“No, but it's reasonable and a little lower than when we wanted to buy it.” Legend Liu thinks it would be great if IBM didn't authorize some key technologies before even thinking about the Group's high prices.

Liu Zhenzhi was very moved by the opportunity to buy these patented technology licenses at a fair price just by helping to perform a play this time.

Did you hear more discount, Feng Yu is a little unfortunate, this didn't take advantage, how can you have a feeling of loss?

“You've made up your mind, I'm with you. By the way, who is the new buyer IBM is looking for? ”

“Two companies, one a four-star group and the other a Yanni group. ”

Four stars and Shut up? All Asian consumer electronics giants. Feng Yu thought about it and realized that if IBM sold to companies in North America, the value of sales channels, factories, brands, etc. would shrink a lot.

Instead, Asian companies can maximize their value by leveraging IBM's PC business to enter Europe and America.

So IBM wants to wear it and wait for the price to go up, and they're not stupid, they won't believe it at all. But if Lenovo Group joins the competition, the two firms will surely believe, because long ago, Legendary Liu announced the acquisition of IBM's PC business, which is no secret.

“Go do it, I believe you. ”

You can get the technology you want, you can pull competitors into the water, and you can double sculpt an arrow. Both companies, Feng Yu doesn't really like it.

Well, maybe those two companies don't even like to think about the group, they don't like Feng Yu.

……

“Boss, IBM is really going to sell their PC business, and Lenovo Group has sent Liu Zhenzhi to negotiate personally. And the president of Six-Star Electronics Corporation, Park Days, went to the U.S., and that's what they're after. The news must be true. Why don't we go talk about it? ”

Daiga Noriyu listened to his subordinates' debriefing and stared at the world map on the wall.

Opportunity, this is a good opportunity. IBM, once the only dominant player in the IT industry, even now, is one of the top companies, and now the * * C standard, is the one that IBM has developed. They're selling the PC business, and this is about focusing on software and servers?

If IBM's PC business can be leveraged, YANNI's PC sales will surely increase dramatically and become the top five in the world!

Combining the technological advantages of IBM and Yanni, R&D and innovation may not take long to become the world's top three or even the world's number one!

Liu Xianzhi went personally, and Sixing Group only sent the president of Electronics Co., Ltd., which is inevitably too little attention. Daiga Noriyu decided to speak for himself.

“I see. You go get Koizumi and the two vice presidents from Inoue. I have something to tell them.” When he's done, he's leaving for the US.

The plane landed and Daiga Noriyu appeared in New York.

This side of the Yuni branch has already sent someone to pick up the plane. After boarding the car, he started reporting to Daiga Noriyu.

“After everything else, has Legend Liu and Park been in contact with IBM people all day?” Daiga Noriyu asked softly.

“Liu Xianzhi has been in contact with IBM many times already, and looks like a must. But I think their chances are minimal, because Lenovo Group invested in Lenovo Silver Mountain for some time, and to help Lenovo Silver Mountain promote XOS and their WPS office software, they definitely don't have enough money. ”

“Four-Star Electronics Corporation has a lot of opportunities, and they have developed well over the years and are well funded, most likely our biggest competitors. ”

“No, our biggest competitor, or Lenovo Group. First of all, the Group has long cooperated with IBM, with more contacts between the two sides, and negotiations will progress very quickly. Second, Liu Chuanzhi has long had plans to acquire IBM's PC business, which many in the industry know. As for the money you're talking about, it's not even a problem anymore, because there's not enough money, and they can discount it with stocks, and maybe IBM will be more willing.” Daiga Noriyu has the opposite view.

Even think of the group as a rising company, the stock of this type of company is definitely a quality stock, others want to buy it and can't buy it yet, IBM is also a good investment, those shareholders must be satisfied.

So Yuni's opponent is very strong. Neither company is very good at this. Ultimately, however, it will depend on who comes up with higher prices and who is more satisfied with IBM's terms.

“Get in touch with IBM as soon as possible, I want to meet them as soon as possible and give them a try. ”

The longer it takes, the more likely IBM will be to negotiate with Lenovo. Even if he made good conditions, he would not necessarily be able to do so, and Daigo was somewhat anxious to do so.

What worried him the most was even thinking about the group Liu Zhizhi, like Feng Yu, if he bought the company he was looking for, he was talking about a quick strategy, then maybe they hadn't talked about it yet, the other party had already signed the contract!

At this time, Liu Zhenzhi was indeed negotiating with IBM executives, but not to acquire their PC business, but to obtain authorization for PC patented technology.

At this time, Liu Xianzhi has brought the technicians to pick out the patented technology of his heart, screen out some of the more backward technology, and remove some of the similar technology that Lenovo Group has, the remaining technology, is the only one to negotiate.

“Lou, Miller, these are the list of patented technologies that we would like to be licensed to, please ask your company to quote us as soon as possible.” Legend Liu gave the printed list to IBM's people.

“Well, within three days, we'll give you an absolutely reasonable quote, and hopefully within three days, even think about the group giving us a reasonable quote. ”

Liu Xianzhi smiled slightly: “Of course, we will achieve win-win. ”
