In Lenovo's 37-year history, 2004 may be the most special year. This year, Lenovo acquired IBM's personal computer business and jumped from a regional enterprise to a global enterprise. Also in this year, Lenovo decided to move its headquarters to new york, USA.
In fact, before the acquisition of IBM business, Lenovo still had some technologies. Although it was "trade technology", the integration of the early PC business was not as high as it is today, and PC manufacturers still had a certain voice in the entire industrial chain.
Integrating IBM's business also took Lenovo a lot of time. Because it focused on integrating business processes, Lenovo's investment in research and development also fell into a serious shortage.
Meanwhile, Lenovo's net profit is highly dependent on the China market. From the perspective of revenue, we can see that the revenue of China market is roughly equal to that of Europe and America, even higher than the latter two. However, while the European market suffered losses and the American market was lackluster, the China market contributed more than 65,438+0.28% of the net profit. Therefore, it is indeed a fact that Lenovo subsidizes the development of the global market with the profits of the domestic market.
