The Legend of Rebirth of the Post-80s Volume 1 Chapter 665 Private Cloud As the market conditions improve in the past two years, Lenovo's profitability has improved greatly. The annual sales are expected to exceed US$2.5 billion, ranking second in the global PC market. In the last fiscal year, Lenovo's revenue was US$21.6 billion and its net profit was US$280 million. This fiscal year will obviously pass. After Liu Chuan replaced Yang Yuanqing, the effect was significant, but the market did not respond much to this, and the market value has not exceeded HK$600 million.

"Are you interested in joining the Lenovo board of directors?" Liu Chuanzhi did not answer Zhou Shi's request, but instead talked about irrelevant things.

"Lenovo has you, what can I do if I go?" Zhou Shi

"If you join the Lenovo board of directors, in addition to unconditionally cooperating with you, including the acquisition of ibm's x86 server business, I can also promise you to make a major adjustment to Lenovo's strategy according to your ideas." Liu Chuanzhi said calmly.

Zhou Shi's heart was pounding when he heard this. Why is this old guy so courageous? Lenovo, although he has always said that he is a conscientious American company, it cannot erase their previous achievements at all. In that particular era, they carried the banner of domestic high-tech industries, which inspired them to the spirit of domestic entrepreneurs. Not to mention the loss of ibm's PC business, but it also has huge brand value and abundant cash flow, which can enable a third-tier brand to achieve a qualitative leap. I thought I did not grow to the height that everyone expected, many reasons were due to market changes. Market changes that Dell and HP could not stop. Moreover, his transformation journey was not so smooth. After all, Yang Yuanqing had a great responsibility. He could not build a united and combat-friendly team at home, and there was no clear strategic thinking outside. In particular, some words and deeds were infinitely amplified by some public knowledge with ulterior motives, and the company's external publicity and brand and public image maintenance were done in a mess.

"You surprised me. What do you want me to answer?" Zhou Shi

"Seeing you, in such a short time, created a world-renowned brand from scratch, made me realize that my original thoughts were out of date." Liu Chuanzhi

"There are many chances in the creation of Guokr brand, which I didn't expect, but the exhibition of the times and the popularization of mobile Internet and social networks have caused the time to build a new brand to be shorter and shorter." Zhou Shi, in addition to traditional TV advertising, Guokr brand uses the most social network advertising, which also promotes the exhibition of youtube, friend network and Twitter.

There are many factual reasons for the brand building time in the previous life to be greatly shortened. The most representative one is Luckin Coffee. It has established a well-known coffee brand from scratch in half a year. Both market share and sales are enough to surprise people. The changes in the times bring about changes in business models, and many of the ideas of the older generation really cannot keep up with the times. The most powerful dimensionality reduction blow in business is probably to go to the opponent's level from thinking. The opponent cannot understand it at all and cannot learn his own playing style. That is hopeless. If you can understand it, you will have to be a little bit worse. If you can understand it, you will only be successful.

"I believe your arrival can bring good changes to Lenovo." Liu Chuanzhi

"This is probably difficult. I believe that talent is the most important factor in corporate development. Any changes I have made in the past were achieved through people. I think strategy is second. The key is whether we can find a person with a big enough pattern. As a multinational enterprise, can we focus on me and inclusively take it, rather than let the acquired corporate culture dominate. Lenovo is a Chinese enterprise, and then a multinational enterprise, and cannot..."

"Lenovo has a very outstanding talent team." Liu Chuanzhi

"But the bureaucratic atmosphere is also very strong..." Zhou Shi

"Your words are ugly...but...real!" Liu Chuanzhi continued: "I also know that Xiao Yang's ability is still insufficient, but there is no better candidate except," he said.

China's professional managers have not appeared for a long time. Except for state-owned enterprises, most private enterprises have bosses who serve as chairman and CEO. There are even fewer well-known professional managers in the manufacturing industry. Midea Fang Hongbo and Gree Sister Dong are representatives, and others seem to have no outstanding performance as representatives. This is mainly due to the impact of insufficient historical accumulation.

Lenovo's former candidate successors include Sun Hongbin and Guo Wei, but now that Yang Yuanqing, Sun and Guo have already selected them before, they will not have any chance. As for why they don't choose overseas professional managers, this is another question.

"Give Xiao Yang some time, you can also help me pay attention to the right candidates." Liu Chuanzhi

Now, what else can Zhou Shi say? After all, he owes Liu Chuan a lot of favors.

"I'll try it, don't have much hope. I don't know much about the PC industry after all, but can you ask, is your goal to build a great brand or a profitable company?" Zhou Shi

"How to say this, is there any difference?" Liu Chuanzhi

"Lenovo is a high-tech industry. If you want to achieve greatness, you must have your own technological advantages. If you just want to make money, then you can do whatever you are popular." Zhou Shi

"How would you choose?" Liu Chuanzhi, "Look at my brain..." Is it necessary to say how Zhou Shi chooses? The original Datang Telecom was a good proof.

"I wonder what Mr. Liu thinks about cloud computing?" Zhou Shi

"Cloud computing? I heard that you have been promoting cloud computing for many years. Are there any achievements now?" Liu Chuanzhi

In 2O11, the global cloud computing market size reached 1Ooo billion US dollars, among which the saas industry is the largest, followed by iaas, namely Amazon, Time Cloud, etc. Time Holdings invests at least one billion US dollars in public cloud every year, and Xinghe Capital will inject funds every year. This money cloud computing is the big one, followed by Android systems, browsers, etc., and then artificial intelligence, Time Payment and other projects.

"The revenue in public cloud computing may reach US$500 million this year, and the revenue last year was less than US$200 million, but the investment is several times that of this data." Zhou Shi

"In other words, cloud computing is possible?" Liu Chuanzhi

"The technology of cloud computing has matured. Now it mainly focuses on infrastructure investment and user migration..." Zhou Shi

"What do you mean is to let Lenovo enter the cloud computing market and compete with time?" Liu Chuanzhi

"It's not that I underestimate Lenovo. There is time in China, Alibaba and Huawei, and it is basically impossible for Lenovo to succeed in the public cloud market. I want Lenovo to take advantage of its own advantages and do private and hybrid clouds, and at least provide more supporting services for cloud computing." Zhou Shi

"Let me think about it..." Liu Chuanzhi
