America made right decision and Lenovo start tough challenge.
Today we got one report that a US government panel has cleared the deal of China Lenovo to acquire the personnel computer operation of IBM. Most of Chinese have been waiting for the result for a period of time.
That is the right decision of American government. One reason: US government give one chance to sell PC department of IBM at high price, the second reason: US government build up good relationship with China IT industry.
Large number of Chinese are eager to see Lenovo Group can become leading global company in the near future. This is one excellent opportunity and good wish for Lenovo and also for Chinese people.
The approval bring good news for Lenovo Group and IBM, however New Lenovo Group just start the road of real merger and tough challenges.
First of all: Lenovo should spend huge amount of cash to pay to IBM, we doubt whether these cash amount will influence the other business finance.
Second: There are great culture differences between Lenovo and IBM. Whether both of them can find right way to solve the problem within short time. The market and competitors do not leave them enough time.
The third: There are immense amount of deficit each year from IBM. When New Lenovo Group can change this situation. In fact most of IBM PC manufactures have already moved to China before. It is very difficult to reduce much cost from manufacture.
The fourth: Beside the cost of PC manufacture, the most important thing is research and development of computer, whether new lenovo can improve R&D within short time.
The fifth: IBM have many old clients, whether these old customers continue to keep business with new Lenovo in the future.
Actually New Lenovo Group will meet a lot of tough challenges on the road. We sincerely hope New Lenove can overcome all the difficulties in the future.
