Two months after the merger and acquisition, Lianxiang achieved a profit turnaround.
This year, Lianxiang's global market share surpassed 16.7%, historically overtaking HP.
But at what cost?
Clearly, the key lies in the investment from the Miguo consortium.
Without the investment from the Miguo consortium, acquiring IBM's PC business smoothly would have been a mere dream.
Any antitrust or other investigation could have killed the project, turning the massive early investment into a total loss.
Therefore, Qi Hao was not optimistic about Zhang Nan's intention to acquire VAIO.
VAIO once brought countless successes and glory to Sony, but due to the rise of smartphones and tablets, Sony's PC business has been in a slump, so Sect Leader Kaz Hirai's decision to abandon the VAIO PC business was already determined.
However, Qi Hao was not opposed to Zhang Nan and his team giving it a try.
Currently, compared to when Lianxiang acquired IBM, there are still quite a few differences.
