We all know that IBM is an IT giant. If Microsoft was or is now a giant in the software industry, then the giant in the hardware industry is IBM. IBM's R&D strength is frightening. The supercomputer it produces is much better than the Galaxy supercomputer developed by China, which shows its strength.
Although IBM mainly develops supercomputers and also makes personal computers, in recent years, the income of IBM's personal computer market is limited, and IBM's strategy has obviously favored supercomputers, so IBM decided to sell its personal computers.
G Lenovo has developed rapidly in China in recent years, and the next step is internationalization. However, Lenovo's brand is very famous in China, but no one knows it abroad. Under such circumstances, Lenovo naturally wants to find an internationally influential brand to cooperate with. So IBM and Lenovo hit it off. So Lenovo bought IBM.
It is said that Lenovo spent about $1 billion to acquire IBM's personal computer division. Lenovo is really awesome, and the RMB is seven or eight billion. This is really not a small sum for domestic enterprises.
