Open business day-to-day

Chapter 490 PC Computer Operating System

After shopping around abroad, I spent 200 billion US dollars. By the way, I sorted out Weiyang Technology and Xingkong Technology Group, and completed the infrastructure layout of regional headquarters and R&D centers around the world. I am in a good mood.

What made him even more happy was that he had played around the world with his confidante for three months. Since he no longer used contraceptive measures, he managed to conceive several girls, which meant that he was about to become a father.

This was an expected surprise. Knowing that he was going to be a father, Lin Rui was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that at the age of 26, he was not far away from his thirties.

"How time flies!" Lin Rui said with emotion.

……

Afterwards, the pregnant women put down their work and Lin Rui stayed with them for a while before going overseas to recuperate in a low-key manner.

For this reason, Lin Rui equipped each of them with a escort team of more than 20 people to take care of them 24 hours a day.

At the same time, while dealing with the work at hand, Lin Rui began to work on the other women. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

How absurd it is in private, Lin Rui has not let go of the company's affairs. In recent months, under his arrangement, Weiyin International has quietly absorbed Lenovo Group's shares in the Hong Kong stock market through more than a dozen shell companies.

At present, through more than a dozen shell companies, it already holds 19.8% of the shares of Lenovo Group, which is not bad.

As for why he came up with the idea of ​​Lenovo, who made the computer version of the origin operating system on the PC side develop it.

As the world's largest computer manufacturer, Lenovo is a hurdle that cannot be overcome if it wants to promote the origin operating system on the PC side.

In recent years, Lenovo's reputation in China has not been good. Why is Lenovo's performance sluggish?What management salary is too high?What is the conscience of the US emperor?What is an assembly plant without core technology?
With all kinds of infamy, there are indeed many problems with Lenovo itself!

However, for Lin Rui, it is not without advantages. The valuation is low and the assets are of high quality.

Now, the market value of Lenovo Group in Hong Kong stocks is only over 500 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is only over 70 billion dollars when converted into US dollars.

It doesn't seem like a lot, but it's really low.

You know, in the past 2015, Lenovo's annual revenue was 449 billion US dollars, six or seven times its own market value.

Although the profit is very low, most of the annual revenue of 3000 billion yuan comes from overseas, which is extremely rare in China.

Weiyang Technology’s revenue last year was less than 3000 billion; Ali’s revenue last year was less than 2000 billion; Huawei’s revenue last year was only 3950 billion. From this point of view, Lenovo is quite high-quality.

Such a company with extremely low market value, high sales, and deep foundation is very attractive to Lin Rui.

Especially in the next step to promote the origin operating system on the PC side, with the cooperation of Lenovo, it will not be so cumbersome.

However, it is quite complicated to acquire Lenovo.

First of all, Lenovo's shareholding structure is complicated. There are two Lenovo listed companies in the Hong Kong stock market, one is Legend Holdings and the other is Lenovo Group.

Lenovo Group is Lin Rui's goal. Its main business is Lenovo's personal computer business, smart device business, and data center business that we are familiar with.

It is Lenovo in the usual sense, the one listed in Hong Kong in [-].

Legend Holdings was formed later.

The stocks that Lin Rui absorbed during this period belonged to Lenovo Group.

According to the latest information, Lenovo Group has a total share capital of 120.4 billion shares, and shareholders are divided into five categories.

50.11%的股份分散在中小投资者手上，林睿持有的就是这一部分。剩下49.89%的股份中，联想控股拥有37.37%、联想集团管理团队拥有6.33%、贝莱德拥有6.18%。

Legend Holdings, as the nominal parent company of Lenovo Group, uses this 37.37% stake to control the huge Lenovo Group.

……

Legend Holdings has started to develop in an all-round way through additional issuance and cash-out of Lenovo Group shares in recent years.

In addition to Lenovo's PCs, mobile phones, and servers, its business has also entered into finance, innovative consumption and services, agriculture and food, angel investment, venture capital, and equity investment.

From a certain point of view, Legend Holdings and Lenovo Group are very different. Lenovo Group is the one that really does IT, personal computers, servers...annual revenue of 449 billion US dollars.

Legend Holdings is the original shareholder of Lenovo Group. After a series of financing dilution, it was afraid of losing control of Lenovo Group, so it was established as a partnership.

Including the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lao Liu... What they hold is actually the equity of Legend Holdings.

Since Lenovo Group went public in 37.37, after a series of financing, additional issuance, and cash out... most of the stocks have become public shares that can be freely traded in the market, and only [-]% of Lenovo Group's shares are left in Legend Holdings.

Over the years, Legend Holdings has gradually developed into a new group by relying on its stocks and cash funds.Moreover, it was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange last year, and its current market value is 300 billion Hong Kong dollars.

This is the relationship between Lenovo Group and Legend Holdings.

Lin Rui is not interested in Legend Holdings, his goal is Lenovo Group.

During this period, while he sent people to absorb Lenovo's stock in the open market, he also sent people to contact BlackRock to buy 6.18% of Lenovo Group's stock in their hands.

On the one hand, let people contact Lenovo Group's senior management team in private, solicit or buy the Lenovo Group shares they hold at a premium.

As long as the shareholding can exceed 50.00%, this matter will be stable, and the next wholly-owned acquisition will not be difficult.

However, considering the reaction of Legend Holdings, Lin Rui recently asked someone to privately absorb the shares of Legend Holdings, and also asked someone to quietly contact the Oceanwide Group, which holds 16.98% of Legend Holdings, to see if he can take down their shares. .

I also communicated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Although they don't have much influence on Lenovo, after all, they still hold 30.56% of the shares of Legend Holdings. It would be great to get the tacit approval of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Lin Rui maintains a good relationship with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Not to mention the China Renaissance Fund he just established and the three major awards, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is deeply involved, and many of them are award winners and members of the judging committee.

Starry Sky Research Institute and the Chinese Academy of Sciences also have many cooperations.

What's more, the original intention of acquiring Lenovo was to promote the domestic operating system, which should also win the support of many people.

Don't expect much support from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as long as it doesn't obstruct, Lin Rui's goal will be achieved.

……

While coveting Lenovo Group, the promotion of the newly released origin operating system on the PC side has not stopped. The office computers of all subsidiaries and affiliated companies of Weiyang Technology and Xingkong Technology Group have begun to install the origin operating system.

At present, we are actively contacting government departments, state-owned enterprises and public institutions to promote the domestic origin operating system to them. If we can win this part of the market, we will be able to gain a foothold in China.
