If you pay enough attention to the technology industry, I believe it is not difficult to find that many companies are making adjustments recently. ZTE, Xiaomi, Gionee, Hammer, TCL, Lenovo, etc. As the saying goes, "Neither break nor stand" is a crisis as well as an opportunity. It depends on how the authorities break through the siege and pursue new outlets...
TCL's restructuring case is finalized and will be transformed into the semiconductor field
On the afternoon of January 7, TCL Group held the first extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in 2019. This extraordinary general meeting of shareholders is of vital importance to TCL Group. Whether the reorganization plan can be passed will determine the adjustment of TCL Group's future business direction.
In the evening of the same day, TCL Group disclosed relevant resolution announcements. The 16 proposals, including the split of terminal business, were approved by the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. This means that the transformation of TCL Group into a technology company is already a firm fact, and it will focus on the development of semiconductor-related businesses in the future.
In addition to the recent news of Xiaomi Group's strategic shareholding in TCL Group, on January 8th, TCL Group's stock price fluctuated within a narrow range after flattening. The rocket was launched suddenly during the intraday and the daily limit was exceeded, and the order was over 670,000 lots. Up to now, TCL has risen for 7 consecutive trading days, with a cumulative increase of more than 20%, and a turnover of nearly 500 million yuan.
Lenovo China establishes three new business divisions
On the same day, another Chinese technology company also heard news of adjusting its corporate structure, and it was Lenovo.
It was learned from Lenovo insiders that Liu Jun, Lenovo’s executive vice president and president of China, issued an internal email last night, announcing that Lenovo’s China region will adjust its organizational structure.
Liu Jun said that after more than a year of hard work, Lenovo's overall business in China has returned to growth and has promoted changes in many aspects such as channels, marketing, customer relations, and services. In 2019, Lenovo China must increase its customer center transformation and establish a more customer-centric organization and operation model. Lenovo will adjust the organizational structure of the China region and focus on three major customer groups-large customers, small and medium-sized customers and customers. Consumer customers.
It is reported that the adjusted Lenovo China will set up three new business divisions: the major customer division, the SME division and the consumer division. Among them, the Consumer Business Unit will integrate the marketing, sales and promotion of China's mobile phone products, and will be in charge of Vice President Zhang Hua.
Regarding the mobile phone division, Liu Jun said that Lenovo's mobile phone business in China has achieved significant growth in the past three quarters and launched a number of innovative products. The mobile phone business unit will continue to be led by Chang Cheng in the future, focusing on mobile phone product planning, research and development, operation and cloud services, and is responsible for the operation of Lenovo's global mobile phone business.
It is a crisis and an opportunity, chasing the next outlet
If you pay enough attention to the technology industry, I believe it is not difficult to find that many companies are making adjustments recently.
Needless to say, the troubled Gionee and the hammer of several frozen assets are of course needless to say. ZTE, which has set sail again, has also focused its business on the communications field. And Xiaomi, which has not given a brilliant report card for a whole year, is also speeding up to straighten out the advantages of various business areas, independent "Redmi" brand, and promote "major appliance" cooperation.
This makes people sigh with emotion. Before, I always thought that 2018 was the darkness before dawn, and you could get to the other side after you survived it; but in fact, 2018 is just the eve of the reshuffle of the technology industry, and a more difficult road is yet to come.
As the saying goes, "If you don't break, you won't stand." Now it is a crisis and an opportunity. It depends on how the authorities break through the siege and pursue new outlets. Just as TCL turned to the semiconductor business and went lightly, it is expected to go further; Lenovo's adjustment in China also shows its determination to focus on customer-centric transformation.
For the technology industry, 2019 will be a non-stop year.
