NEC Lenovo Japan Group related news

Yang did make a public statement about overseas integration. When Lenovo was rumored to acquire Brazilian PC brand Positivo Informatica in 2008 and was rumored to negotiate with Fujitsu Siemens in 2009, Yang responded that the company had no clear goal, but "has been seeking such opportunities". NEC is a world-famous PC company, which launched PC products in the 1970s. By 20 10, the company's PC business still generated about 250 billion yen, or about 20 billion yuan, accounting for 12% of Japan's. However, the reason why NEC's PC industry still exists may be related to the characteristics of the Japanese market. In the eyes of many people in the PC industry, Japan has always been regarded as a highly closed and heavily guarded market. In order to prevent the infiltration of overseas giants, there are at least six Japanese PC brands, including Toshiba, Sony, Sharp, NEC, Fujitsu and Panasonic. Previously, Hitachi PC had changed hands with HP. This figure even exceeds that of local brands active in the Chinese mainland market. This has led to fierce market competition: in the past few years, no brand, including HP, Dell, Acer and Lenovo, has an overall market share of more than 20%. However, the days of several major Japanese brands are not moist, and the market share of each local brand is hovering around 10%. Going overseas, it is more difficult for Japanese PC brands to resist the two major companies, Hewlett-Packard and Dell in the United States, and they are also unable to cope with China enterprises such as Lenovo, Acer and Asus. At present, the highest ranked Japanese PC brand in the world is Toshiba, but it has already ranked sixth after ASUS. According to the report of IDC, Lenovo is still the leading enterprise in the Asia-Pacific PC market in 20 10, with a market share of 20.2%, followed by HP, Dell, ASUS and Acer. Although the global share of NEC is less than 1%, its share in Japan is 12%. If it is transferred to Lenovo, it will directly enhance its competitiveness.

PC giants speed up short board

This cooperation case confirms the actions of global PC giants to make up for shortcomings for more than a year. Since 2009, Hewlett-Packard and Dell have embarked on the service-oriented road of IBM, snapping up service-oriented enterprises everywhere, while Acer and Lenovo have taken a step towards Apple. However, they have not relaxed their competition for the traditional PC business. In 2007, in order to compete for the Asia-Pacific market, HP acquired Hitachi computer business; At the same time, Dell reported the acquisition of Founder PC business, but the dust did not settle in the end; Following Dell, Acer acquired most of Founder's personal computer assets except the brand last year, and continued to exert its strength in the Chinese mainland market. In the past few years, Acer's market share in mainland China was less than 5%, less than a quarter of its share in Europe. Lenovo's market position in the mainland is still unshakable, but because it is nearly 30%, it is difficult to continue its rapid growth. Opponents are increasingly focusing on the mainland, and Lenovo urgently needs to balance regional competitiveness. In July last year, this newspaper learned from a foundry partner of Lenovo in Taiwan Province Province that it had negotiated with Taiwan Province Datong Group or would acquire its shares in PC brand elite computers, but it was later dropped. The rumors of this integration case have once again aroused vigilance. Shen Zhenlai, president and CEO of ASUS, said the day before yesterday that NEC's market share in Japan is expected to greatly enhance Lenovo's competitiveness, but ASUS has a way to deal with it. He said that instead of following the cooperation model between Acer and Founder, the company would tap local PC people in Chinese mainland and strengthen its business. However, there are not many commercial PC teams that ASUS can dig corners. Because, mainland PC corporate brands have been very concentrated, especially commercial PC business. So far, the field of commercial PC is mainly limited by Lenovo, Shuguang and Tongfang. "Lenovo will not change its strategy because of its peers." An insider of Lenovo said that Yang had previously stressed that the company's business was divided into "security business" and "offensive business". The former focuses on China market and global corporate customers, while the latter focuses on strategic business, especially mobile Internet business. 20 1 1 year, mobile internet service will become the key penetration field. 18 10/8, Lenovo announced the establishment of a new business group-mobile internet and digital home business group, which was separated from the traditional PC business.
