"Lou, I heard that IBM is going to sell all of its PC business, including all its factories, R&D departments, brands, distribution channels, retail stores, etc. We, Sony, are interested." Norio Ohga said with a smile.
"Norio, where did you get this information from? We had not announced this to the public, and we still have not made a final decision. "James Lou replied.
Norio Ohga cursed in his heart. Who are you trying to fool? You all did not announce this to the public, but you also did not hide this information from us. If not, how do we know about this?
What do you mean by no final decision is because you still have not gotten a satisfactory offer?
"Where you got this information from is not important. What's important is our sincerity. Sony's development in the electronics industry is different from IBM, but we are interested in the PC business. That's why we hope that you can give us a chance. "Norio Ohga bowed slightly.
"From what I know, Sony's PC sales are not doing well. Even in Japan, our PC sales are not as good as Toshiba, Panasonic, and other electronics companies. In the past few years, the PC industry had been developing rapidly, and Sony's market share had been declining. Their products are not innovative, and their after-sales services are only so-so. Are you all not intending to withdraw from this industry? "Lou asked.
Norio Ohga's face turned pale. IBM might be better than us in the PC business, but that doesn't mean you all can scold us like this. Our PC business is still profitable, but the profits are not high.
If we are better than IBM, will I still come here to talk to you about buying your business?
"Lou, based on our investigations, your PC business's profits and sales are also declining. It's the same for us."
Norio Ohga sneered in his heart. Don't think we did not investigate you all. You are talking as if IBM is doing well. Aren't you all still going downhill? IBM was the industry leader in the past. But now?
If you all had acquired Microsoft in the past, you all will still be the industry leader. But you all did not do so. Also, that European software giant is not set up by IBM's employees.
Now, people are saying that IBM did not develop, and they can rise after leaving. What's there to be proud of? If Sony had missed out on so many opportunities and talented employees, our top management would have committed suicide!
"I do not deny this. We had reduced our related businesses and focused on software. But our PC technologies are still the best in the world. "Lou Aoran said.
"This … I don't think so. Since your technologies are the best, why is your sales growing slower and your market share is dropping? "
"I had said that we had reduced our related businesses."
Norio Ohga did not expose Lu's bragging. You all want to reduce the size? That means you have no choice. If your profits are so high, why are you all? You may be leading the world in some innovative technologies, but in terms of cost control, product design, and other aspects, you are obviously lagging behind other companies, resulting in your products not having a high performance-to-price ratio.
Ato say, I, and Aoran, I, "Feng said.," You all. You all to say, I, "Feng said." You all. to, I, I, "
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I believe that many of your technologies are the best in the world. I have also expressed my desire to acquire your PC business. Can you represent IBM to give me a definite answer? "Norio Ohga asked.
Can you represent IBM to give me an answer? "Norio Ohga asked." I need to report this to the board of directors, and we are in contact with many companies. I cannot guarantee if Sony will be the one who will talk to us. "Lou Aoran replied.
"Alright. I will look forward to your good news. I believe you all will be satisfied with our offer."

"General Manager Feng, are you free these few days?"
"Yes. What's up?" In Feng Yu's company, no one is more free than Feng Yu.
"If possible, can you make a trip to New York to disrupt Samsung and Sony's plans?" Liu Chuanzhi asked.
Feng Yu loves to create trouble for these two companies!
"No problem. I will fly over tomorrow."
… …
Wen Dongjun hit a ball and rubbed the tip of his gun with powder. "What is it? Why are you smiling so lewdly?"
Feng Yu was shocked: "Really? You must have seen wrongly. I am an upright person, and I should not be associated with such words. "
"Tell me. Did you do something bad behind Li Na's back?" Wen Dongjun moved closer to Feng Yu suspiciously.
"Don't think that everyone is as dirty as you. Buddha said that if you have Buddha in your heart, you will see everyone as Buddha. If you have a demon in your heart, you will see everyone as a demon. The reason why you said that must be because you have some evil thoughts in your heart! "Feng Yu said with a lecturing look.
"I can't win against you. Are you going overseas again?"
"That's right. I am going to New York for business. I am very busy. I am not like you. You have nothing to do every day. "
Wen Dongjun looked at Feng Yu with disdain: "Who is more free between the two of us? I am working hard every day, and you are not working at all! "
"Eh … … Don't mind these details. Is it my turn? Move! Move! I will finish you in one stroke! "Feng Yu quickly changed the topic.
As they were playing, Feng Yu was thinking about how to help Sony succeed.
This way, Sony will be distracted again and will not be able to focus on other products. This will cause Sony to lose their competitive edge in the future.
A company could dabble in a wide range of industries and operate in many different fields. But in a certain industry, there must be at least one popular product that the consumers like and increase the company's reputation.
Sony's music player products were suppressed by Aiwa. Sony also had to cooperate with Ericsson to change their mobile phones to Sony Ericsson. But Sony Ericsson is still suppressed.
Sony's PC business is not prominent in Japan. This is also why Sony wants IBM's PC business. IBM's Think brand is also very important.
This way, Sony will be able to develop another strong business in addition to movies, digital products, and video game consoles.
Of course, this is Sony's target. But in reality, Sony will realize that this is the same as their mobile phone business.
Sony might look like it is the best time to expand their market share, but the market share will be taken away by other brands. Sony's profits will drop, and they might even suffer losses.
Sony hates Feng Yu the most. If Feng Yu knows Feng Yu is here to discuss acquiring IBM's PC business, the chances of Sony falling for his trap will increase!
