After reading the news about Cisco and then their own news, Yanagawa couldn't help but sigh.

The past two years have been really difficult for them. He has been planning to take complete control of Lenovo Group. Everything was originally planned, but one after another, there were a lot of problems.

Now they must stabilize their revenue, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.

Lenovo's strategy is actually similar to Cisco's. They don't pay attention to R&D at all, but rely more on acquisitions and annexations.

Their company's R&D investment ratio is very low. Last year, their revenue was HK$16 billion, but their R&D investment was only HK$400 million, and the R&D investment ratio did not even reach 3%.

Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for them if they could not complete the acquisition of IBM.

The taxes that should be paid have to be paid, and the investment they want to raise cannot be obtained. IBM can only watch from a distance. When the next quarter's financial report comes out, it will definitely be very ugly, and the stock price will definitely fall by then.

Yanagawa believes that all this has something to do with the Deep Space Company.

In the past two years, Lenovo has been attacked from both sides by Deep Space and Acer, which has been quite uncomfortable.

I want to compete with Acer and others at low prices, but I can't. Acer and BenQ are strategic partners, and their consoles and displays are sold together.

Hosts with similar performance are sold at Lenovo for 4,000, and Acer is also sold at 4,000, but Acer can be purchased with several BenQ displays. With a 2,000 BenQ display, the total price is 5,800.

A BenQ display with a price of 1,000 will cost 4,900, and a BenQ display with a 500 price will cost 4,400.

This "option" is very attractive to those who need a display screen.

In fact, most people who buy consoles now have the need to buy a display screen.

BenQ displays currently have the highest market share. If they go to other stores to buy them individually, they won't get any discount at all.

Moreover, the Deep Space series’ websites, software, and various activities often use Acer computers.

For example, in August, Acer made a wave of linkages with Dongdong Space.

"Dongdong Farm" has released a new limited-time prop, which can only be used for one month, and its name is Money Tree.

After owning and exchanging this money tree, you can harvest some gold coins every day. The income from this thing is much higher than ordinary vegetables, and the money tree can randomly appear "computer fragments".

Anyone who can save 100 pieces of computer fragments can buy a computer originally priced at 5,200 yuan at a discounted price of 4,200 yuan, saving a thousand yuan.

This activity is really powerful and the money saved is real.

The event attracted many people to participate, and eventually more than 2,200 people qualified for the discount.

With more than 2,200 computers, Acer is not making any money, or even losing money.

But this wave of activities has greatly boosted Acer's sales. They took the opportunity to issue some other small coupons, stimulating people's desire to buy computers.

In August and September, their sales increased by more than 20 percentage points year-on-year.

Their technology was originally very powerful, but it suddenly increased by more than 20%, and the effect is already very good.

In addition, Acer cooperates with Deep Space Company and performs very well among student groups.

Nowadays, when college students buy their first computer, their first choice is Acer, not Lenovo.

Yanagawa is now having a headache. It is too difficult to break through the encirclement and suppression by Deep Space Company and Acer. And under the current circumstances, if they want to raise the white flag, I am afraid Acer and Deep Space Company will not let them go easily.

.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if the roles of the two parties were reversed now, I would definitely not let Acer and Deep Space go.

After pondering for a long time, Yanagawa decided to call Cisco Chambers.
