After seven years of mocking Musk, Yang Yuanqing is not qualified to sit together
Musk's interview with Yang Zhiyuan.
Seven years ago, Tesla CEO Elon Musk was interviewed, Lenovo Technology CEO Yang Yuanqing talked eloquently, and Musk bluntly said: "I think marketing is a very peculiar concept, I don't like it, when I talk about it, I feel that it is deceiving us, so that we can't sell it." ”
Musk has pushed this business model to the limit, and anyone who is posted by him on the Internet, even if it is a Hollywood star or a new high-tech company, will take the initiative to buy his car, and he has repeatedly said that I didn't lie to them, they paid for it, and they could get a celebrity spokesperson, I think, his response was very sharp. Will you (Yang Yuanqing) be jealous of his behavior?"
Only Yang Yuanqing quietly sneered:"But do you know what his relationship with me is?"
Musk replied: "We don't have a lot of customers, about 30,000 people. ”
But Yang Yuanqing interjected bluntly: "As of March 31, we have sold 150 million mobile phones. That's an average of 5 computers sold per second, of which 55 million, 50 million mobile**, and 10 million tablets .......
Not everyone is bullish on Tesla.
After all, in 2014, Tesla was just starting out, with 30,000 employees, and most people were not optimistic about Musk and Tesla. And when Lenovo became the world's PC sales champion in 2014, Yang Yuanqing was still complacent, and even Musk dared to make fun of it.
But no one could have predicted that after 7 years, the situation would be completely different - smartphones would completely change the history of the PC. In comparison, Tesla is worth as much as 112 trillion, Tesla's market value has reached more than 90 times that of Lenovo, and now Yang Yuanqing is not even qualified to talk to Musk on an equal footing.
Lenovo missed out on many opportunities.
Lenovo has many options, such as portals**, such as search, such as e-commerce, such as instant messaging, such as the Internet of Things, such as chips, such as storage, such as other aspects, such as mobile phones, such as computers, such as chips, such as storage, such as now, such as now, such as now. Lenovo launched PC 7 years ago, Lenovo launched PC, and seven years later, Lenovo is still in the PC field, and it has not been involved in upstream and downstream.
Lenovo has invested very little in research and development.
From 2015 to 2020, Lenovo invested only 332%,3.16%,2.81%,2.48%,2.63%,2.29%, with such low R&D expenses, Lenovo has never positioned itself as a technology company. However, the development of a business is like a river swimming upstream.
Yang Zhiyuan no longer has the right to sit at the same table as Musk.
Lenovo has left its competitors so far behind that no one has noticed. If Yang Yuanqing had a conversation with Musk 7 years ago, what would he think?For Lenovo, it is a pity that Yang Yuanqing can no longer compare himself to Musk.
