引言2004年12月8日,联想宣布以总价12.5亿美元收购IBM的全球PC业务,其中包括台式机业务和笔记本业务。具体支付方式则包括6.5亿美元现金和6亿美元的联想股票。而IBM甩掉PC这一该公司二十世纪八十年代以来最富标志性的资产,就像爱迪生开创的通用电气卖掉照明业务,或者迪斯尼关掉动画业务一样,成为一个历史性时刻。自此,IBM彻底转型为一家主要以提供IT服务为主的企业,而联想则强化了自身在PC业务上的竞争能力,成为年收入超过百亿美元的世界第三大PC厂商。
INTRODUCTION December 8, 2004, Lenovo announced a total of $ 1.25 billion acquisition of IBM’s global PC business, including desktop business and notebook business. Specific payment methods include 650 million US dollars in cash and 600 million US dollars Lenovo shares. And IBM got rid of PC, the company’s most iconic asset since the 1980s, just as Edison pioneered GE’s lighting business, or Disney turned off an animation business, making history a historic moment. Since then, IBM has been completely transformed into a predominantly IT-enabled company, and Lenovo has strengthened its competitiveness in the PC business to become the world’s third-largest PC vendor with annual revenues of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars.
