The first quarter is the Lenovo 5G voting event we all know. Because Lenovo abstained from voting for the 5G standard Polar short code plan (which was dominated by Chinese companies), Lenovo took the acquisition of Motorola together to form Qualcomm, but did not support Chinese company Huawei, which eventually led to Huawei’s weak gap. After the defeat, as a result of the incident, Lenovo was detained with a hat of 'treating the country'.
Since then, Lenovo has issued a statement defending itself, together with the speech of the founder Liu Chuanzhi, and Ma Yun, Liu Qiangdong, Zhou Hongyi and others have rallied to support the situation of Lenovo’s 5G voting gate event. However, the wave of incidents seems to be resolved. After a wave of turmoil, Lenovo's second-half vote came in.
The second quarter Lenovo's voting door is related to the domestic system. On May 16, according to the "Observer Network" report, a central procurement center routinely sought advice from various PC suppliers on the purchase of computer products. In support of the development of domestic operating systems, Lenovo, HP, Acer, and Asus The opinions of pre-installed domestic operating systems voted against them. Although the same side, Haier and Dell, although they support it, they have been unable to reverse the situation because they have passed the halfway, resulting in 'failed' domestic systems.
Soon Lenovo issued a statement on the evening of the 21st to respond to the vote against the pre-installed domestic system: Lenovo Group has been supporting the development of domestic operating systems in the past, now and in the future. The so-called Lenovo does not support the domestic system is out of context, stigmatized We express our strong indignation and condemnation of this rumors, and at the same time we collect evidence and reserve the right to investigate legal responsibilities.
Regarding the sensation caused by Lenovo's two ballots, Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, issued a message in a circle of friends: “You have to go to the college entrance examination to get married and have children to buy gold to peel egg skins and high nuclear weapons to fight trade war... I’m afraid that Lenovo will vote against you. Vote! # I did not expect the Secretary to vote every day to change the world '. Seemingly self-deprecating tone, in fact, revealing a helpless heart.
Lenovo Group will announce the 2017 annual results this Thursday. Hong Kong media quoted Huang Weihao, deputy manager of Yaocai Securities Research Department, saying that even if the core business performance in the fourth quarter is not too bad, Lenovo’s single-quarter profit will be US$90-100 million. Annual performance will still record a loss of about 130 million U.S. dollars.
After two consecutive ballots, the brand image was damaged and the outside world was not optimistic about the performance. Lenovo was a bit obscure in May.
