The next day all the employees of the group knew about the benefits that the president personally gave them. Generally speaking, only some university teachers can distribute laptops, or they are high-level government officials. I have never heard of a company like ours distributing laptops.
Computers were distributed again, with a quantity of hundreds of thousands and a total amount of several billion yuan. When the news spread, major computer manufacturers at home and abroad sent their capable business representatives to the headquarters of the energy group.
The top five manufacturers in the world sell millions to tens of millions of units every year, but whoever wins this order can show off that they are cooperating with the energy group. Even a fool knows that the energy group is listed on the
It's only a matter of time before we become the world's largest company.
According to the latest information from Forbes, China National Petroleum Corporation, the world's largest company, has a market value of more than 340 billion U.S. dollars. Energy Group's current conservative estimate has reached 300 billion U.S. dollars. If some of the energy group's external investments are included, it exceeds CNPC's.
Yes, so to cooperate with an energy group, what you need is a reputation.
Each major group has its own clever tricks, but Lenovo Group has already come out on top before the competition has even begun. The chairman of the board of directors of the Energy Group made an appointment with Liu Chuanzhi, the president of Lenovo Group, before the bidding even started. This made the business representatives of Lenovo Group feel worried.
With Low, some other small groups basically gave up as soon as they heard this.
Before Li Cong could see Liu Chuanzhi, the anti-unfair trade investigation team from the Ministry of Commerce had already arrived at the energy group. It turned out that Li Cong's remarks had already touched certain provisions of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law. Before the public bidding, Li Cong was
Liu Chuanzhi could not be seen, so several major groups complained to the Ministry of Commerce. These were all international industry giants. The country had to make a gesture, but it did not take it seriously, otherwise it would not just find a division-level cadre.
Come be the leader of the investigation team.
"President, the plenipotentiary representative of the American Dell Group and the representative of Taiwan's Acer have been waiting outside for a long time. They asked you when you can meet them." Li Cong's secretary to the president is the sixth, and it looks a bit strange to have one.
I was immediately assigned to do other things, so I basically kept changing my job every two months.
"I asked them to continue to wait for me and report me when they had nothing to do. The central government even came down to investigate. Damn it, when have we been investigated by the government? I told them to wait and just said I was in a meeting. After the meeting, I
See them." Li Cong was really angry this time. Although the central government explained to him that it was just a show, it still made people uncomfortable and had a bad reputation.
"Okay, CEO, is there anything else you can do?" What makes this secretary different from the previous ones is that he is concise in his work and never says a word to Li Cong. His appearance is not as outstanding as the previous ones, and he can only be regarded as averagely pretty.
That’s all.
"Bring me the report about this purchase and let me take a look. When I get off work later, take the two representatives to Director Li. If nothing happens, you can go out first." This was clearly a trick, Dell followed.
Acer is one of the top three computer manufacturers in the world, but the gap between industry and industry is too big, and it is far behind compared with energy.
The country also has to worry about its international reputation. This time several major companies complained together and had to give Li Cong some color. Li Cong canceled the meeting with Liu Chuanzhi. But in this information age, it is no problem even if they don't meet and rely on video. This
No, the technology department has already contacted the meeting, and the top executives of Lenovo Group are waiting for Li Cong to hold a purchasing meeting.
After some introductions, the meeting began.
"Mr. Li, first of all, please allow me to extend my lofty greetings to you on behalf of the 20,000 employees of Lenovo Group. Thank you very much for your support of our Chinese private brands. We at Lenovo Group will definitely go all out to meet your company's requirements." Liu Chuanzhi
He was very excited. This is a breakthrough for the expansion of Lenovo Group. The international industry has been reshuffled for many years. It is difficult for several groups with similar strength to stand out. Today, either you are number one or I am number one. It has been a long time since there have been two consecutive times.
It’s time to win the first place in 2018. Even though Lenovo’s global ranking is fifth, the difference between the top five is basically not very big. Everyone has the ability to win the championship.
The orders of energy groups are mostly based on one aspect, and the other aspect is reputation, which is also the focus of competition among major groups.
"Thank you very much, President Liu. I know that your Lenovo Group is the best computer produced in our country, so I support you. Our company has also cooperated very happily with you in the past. Let's not talk about the previous billions of purchases.
I want to talk to you alone this time. Can you ask your other members to avoid it?" Li Cong didn't bother to talk to Lenovo because of those personal computers. It was mainly because of the supercomputer. Li Cong checked the information of 2002
At that time, Lenovo was able to produce computers that could perform teraflops of operations. Now it has reached 10 trillion operations. The point is this.
Liu Chuanzhi knew that Li Cong had something important to say, so he quickly asked his subordinates to get out. Don't offend this God of Wealth. These hundreds of thousands of computers have made hundreds of millions of profits. No one wants to have trouble with money.
.
"Mr. Li, there are only two of us, what do you need?" Liu Chuanzhi asked after the last person went out and closed the door.
"Mr. Liu, I need a supercomputer. What kind of supercomputer can you provide me with Lenovo's best technology?" Li Cong got straight to the point. He mainly wanted to see if it meets his own standards. If not, what kind of supercomputer should he give me?
You have to find a foreign company. After all, if the domestic products cannot be satisfied, then it is not a patriotic thing to buy domestic products.
"Data terminal? Our Lenovo Group is only a little behind the world's most advanced technology. We can manufacture computers with a computing speed of 14 trillion operations per second, and our technology can reach 100 billion operations per second. However, our tests only
It has reached ten trillion times. I think your company’s electronic terminal does not need such a high number of calculations.” If it is just a company, of course it does not need it, but now it has to command satellites in the sky, which seems a bit stretched.
, but Tektronix said that it can be used for hundreds of millions of calculations. I'm sure they can modify it, so we won't worry about it.
"Okay, that's it. I need a machine like this, is it okay?" This can be the core of Lenovo Group. No one has ever bought this thing because generally no one needs it. Liu Chuanzhi also wondered about the energy group.
What's it for? What's the use of such a large piece of "trash"?
The two of them chatted at each other for more than half an hour, and finally reached an agreement. Lenovo Group will assemble such a giant computer for the Energy Group. However, in the future, the Energy Group will purchase all purchases from Lenovo and come up with
Five billion yuan was invested in Lenovo Group, accounting for 6% of the shares. I wonder if the economic crisis has made these companies short of money, so they always attract people to buy shares. Li Cong has never been very fond of such an industry.
, looks glamorous, but actually doesn’t make much money.
It takes Lenovo Group a month to produce this supercomputer, and it sells for up to one billion yuan, and it also has to sign a confidentiality agreement. If there is a leak, the energy group will have to pay tens of billions in compensation. In fact, Tektronix can do it even better than this.
Well, the reason why I bought this thing is because I wanted to have a platform for transformation.
