Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Before starting his own business, Liu Chuanzhi worked on magnetic recording circuits for 13 years in the Equipment Research Office of the Institute of Computing Technology, Academy of Sciences, and won several awards in a row.

In 1984, Liu Chuanzhi founded Beijing Computer New Technology Development Corporation (the predecessor of Lenovo Group) with the support of Zeng Maochao, director of the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In 1986, Liu Chuanzhi served as the general manager of Beijing Lenovo, and in 1989 he was promoted to president.

In 1987, Liu Chuanzhi learned to do business, and the ASTPC represented by Lenovo could sell hundreds of units a month.

In 1988, Liu Chuanzhi and a few others came to Xiangjiang with only 300,000 Hong Kong dollars in their hands. They could only start with trade as they did in China, and accumulate funds through trade to learn about overseas markets.

Xiangjiang Lenovo was also established in 1988, and Liu Chuanzhi became the chairman of Xiangjiang Lenovo.

The period after 1990 can be said to be a period of rapid development for Lenovo. In addition to improving the internal management of the company, Liu Chuanzhi also tried his best to find more funds for Lenovo. The financial cost was very heavy. After Lenovo started with 200,000 yuan, It is very difficult to develop in a rolling manner based entirely on profits.

but--

After persisting for more than a year, Liu Chuanzhi finally had good luck—the richest man in China may also be Xu Cun, the richest man in the world, and invited him to his home as a guest!

...

Liu Chuanzhi and Xu Cun's secretary Li Jiaxin set the time at ten o'clock in the morning.

but--

After eight o'clock, Liu Chuanzhi and Zhu Linan had already arrived at Shek O.

Zhu Linan joined Lenovo in 1989 to establish Shenzhen Lenovo Computer Co., Ltd. and served as the general manager.

In the past two years, Lenovo has been unable to start the situation, so that Zhu Linan had the idea of ​​quitting Lenovo Group to start his own business in information product trade, system integration and software development. Leaving Lenovo Group after a month, of course, he will come back in a few years.

Walking on the private road leading to Shi'ao Manor, Zhu Linan was filled with emotion, I never thought that there would be such a paradise in Xiangjiang!

Liu Chuanzhi made fun of Zhu Linan and said, We haven't reached the right place yet, and you gave such a high evaluation. We're inside, what word do you use to describe it?

Without even thinking about it, Zhu Linan said: Heaven, if the inside is more beautiful, I can compare the inside to heaven.

Liu Chuanzhi shook his head and said nothing more.

Zhu Linan said again: Mr. Liu, tell me, did Mr. Xu want to invest in us when he saw us?

Liu Chuanzhi suppressed his true thoughts and said, Maybe he is talking to us about the future of PCs.

Zhu Linan sneered: President Liu, just pretend, Mr. Xu, the major shareholder of Microsoft, Intel, Apple and other major companies in the industry, how can he talk to us two unknown people about the future of PCs? He just needs to open his mouth , there will be countless experts in the industry coming to him to answer everything he wants to know! Speaking of this, Zhu Linan continued with a look of anticipation: If you want me to say, Mr. Xu should want to support domestic PC brands, and we Lenovo It is the No. 1 among domestic PC brands... I thought about it all night, and I think this is the only reasonable explanation.

Zhu Linan continued to himself: If it's what I guessed, then our Lenovo will be ahead of the game. As long as Mr. Xu's funds are injected, our Lenovo...

Liu Chuanzhi interrupted Zhu Linan's sweet dream and said, Stop dreaming, Mr. Xu's bodyguards have discovered us.

Hearing Liu Chuanzhi's words, Zhu Linan followed Liu Chuanzhi's line of sight, and saw four bodyguards with real guns walking straight towards them...

...

In the restaurant of the guest building.

Zhu Linan said dryly: Mr. Xu's security force is probably stronger than that of Zhongnanhai!

Before Liu Chuanzhi answered, a very abrupt voice said, It's not as exaggerated as you said, is it?

Hearing this voice, Liu Chuanzhi and Zhu Linan subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Xu Cun came in accompanied by two OL beauties and two bodyguard-like beauties.

Seeing this, Liu Chuanzhi and Zhu Linan immediately went up to Xu Cun, and said in unison: Mr. Xu!

Coming in front of Liu Chuanzhi and Zhu Linan, Xu Cun shook hands with Liu Chuanzhi and said, Mr. Liu, I have been waiting for you for four years.

Liu Chuanzhi asked in surprise, Mr. Xu, what do you mean?

Xu Cun led Liu Chuanzhi and Zhu Linan to find a random seat to sit down, and said, I have actually noticed you since Mr. Liu brought a few people to Xiangjiang to establish Lenovo.

Xu Cun beckoned to a maid, and then said to the maid: Serve a table of richer morning tea.

After ordering the maid, Xu Cuncai said again: I am very optimistic about the future of desktop computers, servers, laptops, smart TVs, printers, handheld computers, motherboards, all-in-one computers and other products. I even once thought about letting DreamWorks under my name Video game companies transitioning into this space... As you probably know, DreamWorks Video Games has a good foundation in this area, and the transition is not difficult...

Hearing Xu Cun's words, Liu Chuanzhi's heart became tense—if Xu Cunzhen was prepared to do so, then with Xu Cun's huge financial resources and connections, the computer products of Dreamworks Video Game Company would definitely sweep the mainland market within a certain period of time, and then become the mainland's computer industry leader. Commodity a unique brand!

Xu Cun continued: Afterwards, I considered that all eggs cannot be put in one basket, so I began to pay attention to domestic computer product brands. That is, since then, you Lenovo and you Liu Chuanzhi have entered my field of vision. However, that At that time, you were only doing agents and assembling machines, and you didn’t have any products that belonged to you at all. Therefore, I chose to wait and see what happened at that time. Until not long ago, you proposed to create your own PC brand of Lenovo and establish Microcomputer Business department, I just moved my mind to see you.

Hearing Xu Cun's words, both Liu Chuanzhi and Zhu Linan looked happy, and Zhu Linan couldn't help asking: Mr. Xu, are you going to invest money in Lenovo?

Xu Cun didn't talk nonsense, and opened the window to say something blunt: If you Xiangjiang Lenovo and Beijing Lenovo can merge to form Lenovo Group, I am willing to pay 100 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire a 49% stake in Lenovo Group.

As soon as Xu Cun said this, Liu Chuanzhi and Zhu Linan, while overjoyed, couldn't help being stunned—even if Xiangjiang Lenovo and Beijing Lenovo merged to form Lenovo Group, it would never be worth 100 million Hong Kong dollars, or even one-tenth of it. Even 10 million Hong Kong dollars is not worth it (the value of technology is seriously underestimated in China at the current stage.), Xu Cun actually offered 100 million Hong Kong dollars directly! What Liu Chuanzhi and Zhu Linan didn't expect was that Xu Cun didn't even want the controlling stake in Lenovo Group!

For Lenovo's current market value, Xu Cun is naturally clear, not only Lenovo, but almost no private enterprises in China are worth more than 100 million, and even if they are more than 10 million, there are only a handful of them.

The reason why Xu Cun gave Lenovo 100 million at once was not only because Lenovo was bound to win, but also because he was buying bones with a lot of money—from now on, the Internet era can be said to be officially opened, and Xu Cun’s family business is too big. , it is impossible to develop by himself, he does not have the energy, so Xu Cun is going to use Lenovo's horse bones to recruit all Chinese Internet companies to his side, and then wipe out all these Internet companies with infinite prospects, and then build An internet empire!
