A few months ago, Gateway or a people not known for the PC brand. At that time, Acer has reported the possible acquisition of Gateway, Gateway and God selected code into the Chinese market as the only source of these partners, Gateway in this little-known domestic brands, it is because of the then slightest "Whispering Who" The suspense has become complicated and confusing up. By today, this outstanding clues, because they were contrary to Acer acquired from Acer and Lenovo war between the fuse ...... 1, Acer U.S. M & Gateway, then coveted European PB Acer acquisition Gateway 1:00 into the industry focus of concern 2005, through the Lenovo acquisition of IBM's PC business, in one stroke to become the world's third largest PC maker, has successfully entered the U.S. market. In the capital markets have tasted the sweetness of the association, through a series of sports marketing line and the U.S. NBA league alliance has been further strengthened in the U.S. market on the influence. Although the cause of flourishing in the United States, but Lenovo in the European market is still trying to open situation and it aimed at "global" and stick to the "international" line of Lenovo, not far from ideal. Thus, the acquisition of a European top PC maker, will be the purchase of IBM's PC business model of another perfect copy, is also a shortcut to open the European market. When Europe's third-largest PC vendor Packard Bell companies to enter the field of vision after Lenovo, Acer rumors also participated in the competition. However, Lenovo and PB memorandum of understanding entered into negotiations and the acquisition of specific agreements and PB spokesman also confirmed that the company and major shareholder of Lenovo-negotiate the acquisition of Ericsson, the outside world was that Lenovo's purchase of Packard Bell is Banshangdingding matter. Europe's third-largest PC maker Packard Bell Let us return to the Gateway, this Dimi in the U.S. market once the PC makers, also in the capital market and seek opportunities. Xu Lixin, the owner of PB in 2004 will be another company sold eMachines to Gateway, which in turn in June 2006 in the hands of Xu Lixin, PB was the priority right to choose. In Acer and Gateway issued a joint statement before, Gateway in a separate statement that its priority will be spent right choice Packard Bell holding company acquired all the shares. In the understanding of so many of the complicated relationship, we can know: Acer to Gateway income accounts, but also logical to have a PB priority right choice, it would be tantamount to "curve" from the PB from where robbed from Lenovo . Currently, Acer has revealed the next step to acquire PB program, so Lenovo temporarily trapped in a awkward position of. Navigation of the article 1, Acer U.S. M & Gateway, then coveted European PB 2, Netherlands PB what it means » Glorious dream world runners-up 3, landing ashore Europe and the United States market: Acer and Lenovo between the Running out of Time 4, domestic and international markets: Present and Future of division and reunification 5, conclusion, a sentiment is spreading ......
Second, the Netherlands PB what it means » Glorious dream world runners-up If you want to explore the motives Acer acquisition of Gateway, then and Lenovo purchase of IBM's PC business the same - though Acer current international level than prior to the acquisition of Lenovo Thinkpad to advance, but the world number three has been eager to Acer Lenovo as its imaginary enemy on the road ahead. First of all, Lenovo's purchase of IBM's PC business unit in the industry is considered as the textbook "She Tunxiang" capital market success stories, and countless other manufacturers to give great inspiration, Acer also included; Second, Acer chose this soaring The acquisition of capital means to compete with Lenovo, to a large extent because of the tremendous boost ranking down. According to Gartner Dataquest, Acer in the first quarter of 2007 has surpassed Lenovo as the world's third-largest PC maker, Lenovo in the second quarter and by virtue of enhancing the performance of the Greater China gradually opened the gap with the Acer, which allow Acer's global long-awaited dream up just three months to hand over you bask in hand. Acer acquisition of Gateway that people think of Lenovo's purchase of IBM If this will be the world's more remote target specific to a battlefield, it will have to mention of the first few months Acer and Lenovo in the capital market on the "Running out of Time." Acer in 2006 due to the rapid growth, once rumours to the acquisition in the form of continued in the capital on the market soared. However, with the work of God Gateway code to enter the Chinese market, Acer is the acquisition of Gateway seems to be some untenable. In fact, Acer is currently facing a similar plight, and some think that in China and the U.S. market results are good, but to open the European market is the lack of means. When Lenovo is ready to start the PB time, Acer is close combat competitors. However, Acer has chosen to end this one from Gateway to the image and positioning are similar to their own companies, is clearly "ulterior motives." Therefore, we can in the complex relations will be temporarily omitted from Gateway not only Acer and Lenovo said this competition is the focus of PB. Acer chairman王振堂position before, "Acer acquisition will be successful, if unsuccessful, I will never Lian Zhan, chairman of the post must resign", after the staff also wrote in the message that, Gateway after the exercise of Preemption , Packard Bell European operations will also be incorporated with Acer. This means that Acer beat Lenovo, "curve" will be at Packard Bell unit, Lenovo in Europe disrupted the plan. This will not only exercise restraint rival Lenovo's expansion plans in Europe, but also greatly enhance its own strength.
Third, landing ashore Europe and the United States market: Acer and Lenovo between the Running out of Time Acer acquired Gatway to the incident today, what can be summed up what » In response, various industries have not unified view, but at least the majority of the media did not like that Acer has already able to victor gesture from the UN-Habitat. Prior to this association and the unlimited PB close to the Acer now has a PB of the priority right to choose, we can only say that the late Habitat on the Acer, Lenovo in the chase than the PB in the process of leading a step only temporarily. Acer and Lenovo between the Running out of Time Of course, Acer will acquire PB is not good to jump to conclusions. Acer acquisition of Gateway, rather than Lenovo's purchase of IBM's PC business, it would be better that HP acquired Compaq - took three years before the world No. 1 HP straighten out the relationship between the brand. It seems that even the "大鱼吃小鱼" There is also a digestive process if the acquisition is acquired and there are complementary, Daohai can go hand in hand learning from, for instance, last summer, the AMD acquisition of ATI is the logical Things but, Acer and Gateway will contrast, you will find two very similar styles. Therefore, we also bad for Acer, Gateway is a blessing or disaster. PB mentioned the driving force, we also have to say that the cost of the acquisition. August 27, Acer announced a 710 million U.S. dollars acquisition Gateway, bid 1.9 U.S. dollars per share, compared Gateway8 on 24 closing price premium of 57 percent, the deal is expected to be completed before the end of the year. Acer to buy Gateway这桩business, the outside world that "too expensive to buy, design, jumped into the trap, too impulsive." Acer shares on August 28 Dieting, and the reaction of investors such worries. Although Acer's chairman王振堂said, M & Gateway Acer is the future growth strategy is a long-term contacts and after analyzing the decisions made, but the road ahead is long and uncertain for Acer high morale of the slightly cool, especially Gateway currently the only channel for Lenovo's strength is the code of God, more people think that Acer and Lenovo is the struggle between a "Infernal Affairs" in general "Running out of Time."
