聯(lián)想收購(gòu)IBM服務(wù)器業(yè)務(wù)談判破裂
????據(jù)知情人士透露,聯(lián)想(Lenovo)與IBM就聯(lián)想以數(shù)十億美元收購(gòu)IBM部分服務(wù)器業(yè)務(wù)的交易談判已經(jīng)破裂。 ????知情人士稱,盡管雙方的談判可能會(huì)再度恢復(fù),但目前已因?yàn)閮r(jià)格問(wèn)題而宣告結(jié)束。 ????目前,聯(lián)想和IBM的發(fā)言人都未就上述傳聞置評(píng)。 ????上個(gè)月,有關(guān)雙方交易談判的傳聞開(kāi)始出現(xiàn)在各大媒體,而且這個(gè)消息也得到了《財(cái)富》雜志(Fortune)的證實(shí)。彭博社(Bloomberg)認(rèn)為,IBM準(zhǔn)備賣(mài)給聯(lián)想的的x86服務(wù)器業(yè)務(wù)價(jià)值應(yīng)該在在25億美元到45億美元之間。其它一些媒體則聲稱,IBM尋求的交易價(jià)格為60億美元。據(jù)稱,聯(lián)想拒絕了這個(gè)價(jià)格。IBM計(jì)劃出售的這項(xiàng)業(yè)務(wù)每年產(chǎn)生的銷售額接近50億美元,約占IBM服務(wù)器總營(yíng)收的三分之一。 ????聯(lián)想目前是僅次于惠普(HP)的全球第二大電腦制造商,一直希望能夠支持自身服務(wù)器業(yè)務(wù)的發(fā)展。雖然x86服務(wù)器目前仍是低端服務(wù)器業(yè)務(wù),但它可以幫助聯(lián)想與惠普和戴爾(Dell)展開(kāi)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。 ????2005年,聯(lián)想收購(gòu)了IBM的PC業(yè)務(wù)。最近幾年中,聯(lián)想的增長(zhǎng)速度一直快于競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手。據(jù)研究機(jī)構(gòu)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)數(shù)據(jù)中心(IDC)的報(bào)告稱,尤其是在最近一個(gè)季度,全球PC銷量遭遇行業(yè)史上最大幅度的下滑,聯(lián)想是其中唯一一家穩(wěn)住了陣腳的大制造商。目前,聯(lián)想也向智能手機(jī)和平板電腦市場(chǎng)吹響了進(jìn)軍的號(hào)角。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)) ????譯者:劉進(jìn)龍/汪皓 |
????Negotiations between Lenovo and IBM over a multi-billion dollar deal under which Lenovo would acquire parts of IBM's server business have broken down, according to people familiar with the situation. ????While the discussions could resume, they were halted over valuation concerns, according to a person familiar with the talks. ????Spokespeople for Lenovo and IBM (IBM) declined to comment. ????News of the negotiations surfaced last month in various publications and were confirmed byFortune. Bloomberg put the value of the potential deal, which would cover IBM's sale of its so-called x86 server business, at between $2.5 billion and $4.5 billion. Others suggested IBM was seeking as much as $6 billion. Lenovo is said to have balked at the price tag for the business, which generates close to $5 billion in sales, or about a third of IBM's overall server revenue, according to estimates. ????Lenovo, the world's No. 2 computer maker behind HP (HPQ), has been seeking to bolster its server business. The x86 servers, which represent the lower end of the server business, would allow Lenovo to compete more effectively with HP and Dell (DELL). ????Lenovo, which in 2005 bought IBM's PC business, has been growing faster than rivals for the last few years. In the most recent quarter, which saw the worst decline in PC sales in the industry's history, Lenovo was the only one of the major computer makers to hold its ground, according to research firm IDC. The company has also expanded into smartphones and tablets. |
