Chapter 1229 All This Is Not as Simple as It Seems

Zhongguancun Lenovo Corporation.

The tug-of-war in the mobile phone business acquisition negotiations that lasted for half a year was finally settled in just one night.

In the end, the money was spent. Although he gained a lot of superficial prosperity and happiness, Lao Liu always felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Lenovo's transformation into mobile phones was not actually Liu Chuanzhi's decision on a whim.

But he came up with this idea as early as when he was beaten in business by Cheonan Computer Company, and then encountered Waterloo in the acquisition of IBM-PC business.

Its ultimate goal, which Liu Chuanzhi rarely talks about to outsiders, is to further advance Lenovo Group's development path in trade, industry and technology, and truly reach the "technology" link.

Instead of being superficial like now.

But now it seems that there is still a long way to go.

On the contrary, Ni Guangnan, who was squeezed out earlier, now has both fame and fortune, and is walking confidently on his ideal path.

What to say?

Liu Chuanzhi smacked his lips and couldn't say anything except a bitter taste.

After coming back to his senses, Yang Yuanqing gathered the documents signed this time and said, as if to explain: "Mr. Liu, I always feel that this time, we were tricked by Wu Tao..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Liu Chuanzhi interrupted him sternly: "Don't say that!"

The scene suddenly became awkwardly quiet.

Until Yang Yuanqing said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Then...Mr. Liu, I'm going out first."

Liu Chuanzhi waved his hand and said nothing. When the door slammed shut, the whole person relaxed.

By now, his subordinates had failed to understand Lenovo's positioning and direction. This was the reason for his sudden attack.

In fact, today's Lenovo has long been ignored by others.

Why do people come here to deal with you because of old grudges? Even if there is an actual causal relationship, I'm afraid it's just an accidental injury.

Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, Liu Chuanzhi was not willing to stand on the opposite side of Wu Tao.

Really, this opponent is too powerful.

It's so powerful that people can't even think of resisting.

The next day, Lenovo spent tens of billions of dollars to acquire Motorola's mobile phone business, which dominated the news.

For a time, there was no one else in the limelight.

And taking advantage of the momentum of Motorola's stock rising slightly in the past few days, Lenovo's stock has also been flying for a while.

Liu Chuanzhi stood in front of the foggy window and looked at the sky over the capital in the distance, unable to see clearly at all.

While Lenovo's stock is flying, sales of Lotus mobile phones have experienced a small explosion before the end of the year. The entire Yuanqi Technology is full of confidence in its future development, and has not been affected at all by its old rival Motorola's withdrawal from the mobile phone market and the decline in Nokia's sales.

Therefore, in the internal brainstorming meeting specially convened by Wu Tao, there was full optimism from top to bottom.

As a member of the strategic development department, Qiao Ni sat in the second row behind Xiao Zixia, and could just see the upright profile of her boss Wu Tao.

The atmosphere of the meeting was quite lively. Although it was not as exaggerated as the Premier League and the United States, it was not far behind.

After all, since the establishment of Yuanqi Technology, it has successively eliminated two world-class mobile phone brands, Ericsson and Motorola.

Such a record would be enough for anyone to swell for a while.

What's more, we are Chinese people who love to show off and show off.

However, Qiao Ni also keenly discovered that the boss has always been silent and serious from the beginning to the present.

It seems that today's meeting is far from being as simple as it seems.

In fact, this meeting was not simple. Xiao Zixia felt like a mirror.

Because the boss would never convene a special meeting just for the sake of "a rhetorical meeting to praise virtues", and more importantly, even Yang Ge, the general manager of Qihua Electronics, was invited here today.

Xiao Zixia didn't have time to communicate with Yang Ge in advance, but after a few looks at the meeting, she knew that Yang Ge was not very clear about the purpose of today's meeting.

This is particularly appetizing.

Especially since he is the direct person in charge of Yuanqi Technology, this situation has become even more intolerable.

After all, it is actually very dangerous to fail to keep up with the boss's thinking strategically.

Fortunately, the answer did not last long.

Wu Tao put down his cup, and the conference room suddenly became audible. "Mr. Yang, could you please introduce to everyone the production order data of Qihua Electronics in recent years?"

Yang Ge didn't even need to prepare for this kind of thing.

Since the establishment of Qihua Electronics, the annual order data and order customers have long been formed into a table in his mind.

He loves manufacturing and is particularly sensitive and impressed by manufacturing data.

So when the data came out of his mouth one by one, not only did it not sound boring at all, but a vivid table was clearly presented in front of everyone.

There are two curves in the table.

One is the order data of Lotus mobile phones over the years. What is gratifying is that it shows a gradually increasing trend.

The other one is the production order data of all OEM mobile phones of Qihua Electronics.

As soon as this data was laid out, the soaring upward trend and slope actually greatly exceeded the order growth rate of Lotus mobile phones.

This is very telling.

Xiao Zixia's heart moved after hearing this. She suddenly figured out the hazy outline of today's meeting.

I'm afraid it's another important strategic decision-making meeting with far-reaching consequences.

Any major strategic decision like this will have a disruptive and far-reaching impact on the company and product development.

Realizing this, Xiao Zixia suddenly became nervous.

In contrast, after Yang Ge finished talking about the data, most people's reaction was inexplicable, so that the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became a little deserted and weird.

However, Wu Tao did not let this atmosphere last too long. He looked around and continued to ask: "Who has any ideas? Can we talk about it?"

At this time, Xiao Zixia had to speak first, "Boss, let me talk first."

Wu Tao nodded and continued to drink his coffee, but his eyes were observing everyone, who could think of the problem first.

"Since the launch of Lotus mobile phones, it has always adopted a differentiated market strategy. When releasing products every year, most of them are three high-end models, and three mid-range and low-end models are sold together."

"...But in the past two years, the sales of Lotus mobile phones have increased, which is accompanied by the rapid growth of high-end and the continued sluggishness of mid- and low-end phones. Sales of mid- and low-end Lotus have been calm, and there are even signs of decline."

Wu Tao nodded secretly while listening. No matter whether Xiao Zixia got his point accurately in her heart, at least her analysis and thinking at this moment were very reliable.

Xiao Zixia has always been fierce and capable, and then asked the question: "So what is the reason behind the sluggish data of mid- and low-end products? Is it because the corresponding market capacity is insufficient, so that it cannot support the sales of mid-to-low-end products?" Or is it a problem with product quality, design and R&D?”

As soon as this question was raised, the meeting room exploded...
