Over the past two decades, Lenovo has been a technology company highly respected by Chinese people. But it's only been a few years, and the reputation of Lenovo's can be said to be "going from bad to worse"! Why does this happen with
? Is it very simple? and Huawei , which started at about the same time as Lenovo, have now taken up the banner of China's technology industry, and Lenovo has become an "assembly company" in the eyes of netizens.
It is undeniable that Lenovo's business achievements in corporate management and corporate development are obvious to all, but in terms of corporate technology strategy, Lenovo appears to be less active.
At that time, a dispute broke out within Lenovo between " trade industry technology " and "technology industry trade". As a result, Mr. Ni Guangnan , who advocated the development of technical lines, left Lenovo, and Liu Chuanzhi team, which insisted on trade first, gained control of Lenovo.
During those years in the trade, industry and technology, Lenovo made a lot of money, and the company's scale also expanded year by year. If good times last too long, people will inevitably lose their enterprising spirit.
After the Sino-US trade war and incidents such as Huawei and ZTE, a number of domestic technology companies finally realized that the only way to survive is to have more core technologies in their own hands.
Lenovo has occupied the top spot in China's electronic technology industry from the 1990s to the present, making a lot of money, but it has not made much contribution to China's technology industry.
What is the public’s first impression of Lenovo? Isn't Lenovo just a computer seller? Netizens are really not talking nonsense. PCs have always been Lenovo's core business. After so many years, there is really no opponent that can shake Lenovo's position in the PC field.
Judging from the data previously released by IDC, Lenovo's PC shipments in 2022 Q2 were 17.5 million units, 2021 Q2 was 19.9 million units, 2020 Q2 was 17.41 million units, and Lenovo Q2 in 2019 was 16.2 million units.
This data shows that Lenovo’s shipments this year are still very strong. Although it is weaker than 2021, it still exceeds 2020 and 2019.
In the world, Lenovo has occupied the first position in PC shipments for many years. However, it is an indisputable fact that the PC industry is in the sunset industry.
Judging from Lenovo’s previous financial reports, Lenovo Group’s profit margin is not high, and it does not have the momentum that a technology company should have. So Yang Yuanqing also said before that Lenovo’s focus in the next few years is to increase the company’s profit margin.
So the question is, how can Lenovo improve its profit margins? Obviously, Lenovo wants to find the second curve of corporate growth. The " Digital China " proposed by
's new five-year plan focuses on promoting the construction of a digital society, making public services, towns, and communities "intelligent" and making operations, information management, and government services more efficient.
This digitization has accelerated as more and more government activities move online. Companies such as Huawei are making progress in this area, while Beijing is increasingly committed to promoting cooperation with developing and emerging economies on digital government and governance.
Traditionally, Lenovo Group was a hardware solutions provider, and its business in services, software and solutions was relatively small. The so-called service-oriented transformation actually means providing services based on existing hardware facilities.
Lenovo Group recently announced a news that Lenovo invested in more than 200 high-tech companies in one fell swoop.
Lenovo Ventures He Zhiqiang said that Lenovo Ventures continues to optimize its technology investment approach. While focusing on current early-stage core technology investments, it actively embraces original innovation and looks for a new round of stages around new computing, digital human bodies, and going to the sky and into the sea. Sexual breakthrough opportunities. At the same time, we insist on building a research-based investment institution, and formulate detailed investment strategies for each technical direction based on full industry research every year.
In the future, Lenovo Venture Capital will welcome more invested companies to join with a more open mind, creating a win-win development pattern for Lenovo Group, Lenovo Venture Capital and invested companies.
Lenovo has made a lot of noise this time. It is still unknown whether it is to fool netizens or whether Lenovo is starting to pay attention to technology from now on!
