After seeing Lu Jia off, Zhao Ye got up and went to the wine cabinet. He found a bottle of Romanée-Conti red wine, poured himself a glass, and while sipping the wine, he thought about the preparations he had made for promoting "Shenzhou Computer".

“If even this doesn’t make ‘Shenzhou Computer’ a hit, then I’ll be speechless!” Zhao Ye murmured.

"We should develop the Source Engine as soon as possible. Even if we lack wireless routers and Wi-Fi, it won't have a big impact for the time being, but the lack of games will definitely seriously affect the sales of Hasee computers!"

Zhao Ye downed his red wine in one gulp and immediately went back to coding.

...

It is said that there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.

IBM quickly learned that Wujiang Group was going to get involved in the PC industry and immediately sent a letter of inquiry, or rather a threatening letter.

"...Wujiang Group is the sole distributor of IBM PCs in China. Now, Wujiang Group is secretly developing its own personal computers, clearly intending to compete with IBM PCs. We advise Wujiang Group to abandon its independently developed computer brand and not be so stubborn; otherwise, IBM will terminate its cooperation with Wujiang Group!!!"

IBM PCs are currently very strong, holding an absolute advantage in the personal computer market. Moreover, IBM itself has a great influence and is capable of suppressing Wujiang Group in the PC industry.

However, to some extent, IBM may be afraid of Wujiang Group, which is why it does not want Wujiang Group to launch its own brand of personal computers.

"Boss, what should we do about this? IBM is demanding a response from them as soon as possible!" Liu Yinyin asked.

Zhao Ye was speechless. "No matter how powerful IBM is, what right does it have to interfere with Wujiang Group's affairs? And you even advised Wujiang Group to abandon its independently developed computer brand and stop being so stubborn? Bah! How can Wujiang Group's 'Shenzhou Computer,' which has taken several years to build, be stopped from going public just because of a few words from IBM?"

IBM overestimates itself!

It seems that Wujiang Group can no longer cooperate with IBM.

"Boss, IBM received the message really quickly. I suspect this information mostly came from Apple, or even that Apple deliberately leaked it to draw IBM and other companies' attention to us, so that Wujiang Group could take the brunt of their attacks!" Liu Yinyin analyzed, then paused, angrily adding, "They called themselves strategic partners, but it turns out strategic partners are just used to stab you in the back..."

Zhao Ye nodded, saying indifferently, "Whether it is or not is not important. Apple will also be our competitor. After our 'Shenzhou Computer' is released, we will attack Apple Computer and IBM PC together!"

After a pause, Zhao Ye said with a contemptuous tone, "Liu Yinyin, go and reply to IBM right now, saying that IBM has no right to interfere in any affairs of the Wujiang Group!!!"

"Yes, boss!!!" Liu Yinyin was slightly taken aback when she saw this. She rarely saw her boss turn his head so domineeringly. Usually, he was gentle and refined. If you were to describe him with a poem, it would be "A gentleman as jade on the road, unparalleled in the world". But she did not expect that her boss would also have such a domineering side.

...

IBM.

Senior management meeting.

"Wujiang Group did a really good job keeping things secret; no one would have guessed that they were secretly developing personal computers."

"The Wujiang Group has always harbored wolfish ambitions, but it is also very powerful. We must take it seriously!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Wujiang Group will soon reject our request. We will need to find a new distributor for IBM PC in China."

"Choose Lenovo Technology. In the past two years, Lenovo Technology's PC distribution business has done a good job."

Because of the high brand recognition of Lenovo Chinese character cards, the Institute of Computing Technology Co., Ltd. has changed its name to Lenovo Technology Co., Ltd. since last year.

However, despite having "technology" in its name, Lenovo Technology has no core technology whatsoever. IBM wanted to cooperate with such a company so that it wouldn't have to worry about a repeat of the situation with Wujiang Group.

"I've met the general manager of Lenovo Technology. His name is Liu Chuanzhi. He's a humble and polite person. He was very respectful and perceptive in my presence, and he's always wanted to cooperate with IBM. Once, I was drinking at a party, and he noticed my glass was empty, so he stood next to me and kept refilling my glass. At first, I thought he was a waiter, hahaha..."

"Then let's choose Lenovo Technology as our partner. We like the humble and courteous Chinese people."

Just as everyone was getting into the conversation...

President's assistant Mark Jonathan walked into the conference room.

He looked at everyone and said, "I just received a call. Wujiang Group has officially rejected our request, and Zhao Ye also said that IBM has no right to interfere in any of Wujiang Group's affairs!"

"Damn it, Wujiang Group is our company's agent for IBM PCs, how come we have no right to interfere? Zhao Ye is such an arrogant and conceited guy, he dares to offend IBM, he'll definitely not have a good ending!!!"

"Alright, everyone, stop arguing and get ready. We're about to have a war!" IBM President Tim John Watson said in a deep voice.

Wujiang Group is no ordinary company; it is a formidable opponent.

However, IBM is not afraid. In the PC field, IBM is the leader, and no one can rival them.

Wang Laboratories is no good, and Wujiang Group is even worse!

"We hereby announce that IBM has officially terminated its contract with Wujiang Group, and Wujiang Group will no longer be the distributor of IBM PCs in China!" Tim John Watson said loudly to his assistant.
