Back in the car, Kirilenko asked excitedly: "Feng, IBM is going to exchange shares with Lianxiang Yinshan? How will the exchange happen? When will it start?"
"Calm down, this matter is still being studied."
If IBm joins in, Lianxiang Yinshan's equity structure will become more complicated. There are individual shareholders such as Feng Yu, Kirilenko, Huaxia State-owned Assets, and Qiu Bojun, Lei Dajun, Liu Chuanzhi, etc.
After the listing, both Li Zekai and Fu Guangzheng bought some shares. If this is true for ordinary enterprises, it is absolutely no problem. There are too many joint ventures, and many enterprises in China are controlled by foreign capital.
However, Lianxiang Yinshan has grown too fast. Now it has been recognized by many peers as IBM, and it vaguely wants to challenge the world's number one Microsoft. It has even achieved the number one in the industry in the HOS system.
Why do major countries have their own computer brands and develop their own systems? I am worried that computers researched by other countries will have some backdoor programs that can steal your information unknowingly.
Doesn’t the United States have such a plan? In fact, China and Russia definitely don’t have it
This is why in the future, many politicians will not like to use smartphones. They only use feature phones, thinking that they are safer.
After all, IBM is a US company, and their PCs were once the main procurement target of US government departments. To say that there is no connection behind this, even a ghost would not believe it.
Although Lianxiang Yinshan's system uses the open source LInux system, it is very difficult to develop such a mature application system, otherwise Lianxiang Yinshan would not be the only one to be where it is today.
IBM tried it and found it difficult to circumvent Lianxiang Yinshan's patented technology blockade, so they thought of cooperation. After all, IBM is also the third largest software company in the world at this time, and it is also famous in the IT industry.
If IBM becomes a shareholder of Lianxiang Yinshan, the promotion in North America will be much easier. IBM even promised that Lianxiang Group's PCs can be included in the government purchase list.
Even in Europe, IBM's influence cannot be underestimated. Together with Lianxiang Group and Lianxiang Yinshan, it can suppress Microsoft.
IBM drew a big pie, and Feng Yu and the others were discussing whether they should eat it and whether their superiors would object.
When Kirilenko became a shareholder of Lianxiang Yinshan, it was because Kirilenko used the software company he established in Russia to invest in the entire software company. It was equivalent to the expansion of the Chinese company to Russia and to occupy the Eastern European market. This was a great honor. Of course the superiors will not object to this matter.
Besides, China's relationship with Russia is not bad, at least much closer than with the United States.
This time, IBMm and Lianxiang Yinshan exchange shares. Lianxiang Yinshan will definitely not acquire IBMm, but will only exchange part of the stock, become each other's shareholders, appoint a director, and cooperate in many businesses.
Is IBM powerful? powerful. In terms of technology and business services, it ranks first in market share. In terms of software, it ranks third in the industry. In terms of electronic technology research, it is also among the best in the world. It is absolutely qualified to compare with any company in the IT industry.
However, after this financial crisis, IBM's market value has still dropped a lot. Now it is less than 150 billion US dollars, but it is still higher than Lianxiang Group and Lianxiang Yinshan.
Lianxiang Group became the number one in the industry, and after launching L-pad, its market value has also been rising. Now based on market value, it is only over 50 billion US dollars.
If there was no L-pad, it might be even lower. Who knows that the profit margin of PC companies is not high, and everyone's expectations for it are not high.
On the contrary, Lianxiang Yinshan's market value has soared at this time, surpassing Lianxiang Group, and its market value has reached more than 70 billion US dollars. These are completely different from the previous life.
But now, the combined market value of Lianxiang Group and Lianxiang Yinshan is not as high as IBM. If shares are exchanged, stocks of the same value will have completely different weights.
The potential of Lianxiang Group is not particularly high, because the profit itself is not high simply by selling hardware equipment. If it weren't for L-pad, even Xiang Group's market value might be less than US$40 billion.
But Lianxiang Yinshan is different. After Microsoft's market value continues to decline, it can still reach 200 billion US dollars. Even if Lianxiang Yinshan is slightly lower, the market value forecast will not be much worse. Now many investment banks have continued to increase Lianxiang Yinshan's market value. Considering the reasonable price of Yinshan's share price, I think it is worth buying.
Feng Yu also believes that the true value of Lianxiang Yinshan should at least not be weaker than IBM, or even similar to Microsoft. After all, there are HOS systems, anti-virus software and office software. There is still hope to surpass them and become the leader in the software industry in the future.
So exchanging shares now is very uneconomical. If Feng Yu exchanged Lianxiang Yinshan's equity with IBM on a one-to-one basis, IBM would not agree. After all, the market values of the two parties were more than double the difference at this time.
In addition, there are other issues such as safety to consider, and it is very difficult to cooperate.
The benefits of cooperation are obvious. With the help of IBM's channels, Lianxiang Yinshan's system and software sales can be greatly improved, and it is very possible to suppress Microsoft.
Feng Yu is also considering whether to lower his conditions and promote cooperation with IBM in order to suppress Microsoft now.
But what if IBM asks to enter the core research business? IBM’s technology is there, and they are definitely qualified. But in this way, if IBM separates from Lianxiang Yinshan again, it is very likely that they will be able to launch their own PC window operating system, which has the same origin as Lianxiang Yinshan, and Lianxiang Yinshan will in turn fall into a passive position. .
After all, IBM and Microsoft have always had a good relationship. Microsoft used to be a OEM for IBM, and then it set up its own business, which is why it has the scale and status it has today.
After Feng Yu explained the situation to Kirilenko, Kirilenko asked: "Feng, you don't trust IBM?"
Feng Yu suddenly realized that yes, he had no trust in IBM.
If you don’t trust the other party, why should you reluctantly cooperate? Although cooperation may lead to better development, the risk is not worth taking.
Feng Yu and Kirilenko also said that the first priority in cooperation is trust between both parties, followed by interests. Without trust, he won't cooperate.
"Brother, frankly speaking, I lack trust in IBM, so I don't want to cooperate with them. What do you think?"
Kirilenko is also the major shareholder of Lianxiang Yinshan, and Feng Yu also wants to ask his opinion, which is a sign of respect.
"Since you don't want to cooperate, then don't cooperate. Without IBm, we can still develop very well. I don't want another shareholder to come in and share money with us." Kirilenko replied happily.
"Okay, then we will not cooperate. But don't worry, the market value of Lianxiang Yinshan will continue to increase, and the profits will continue to increase. The number one position in the software industry in the future must be ours!"
