This a series of changes, the CICA internal group and Lenovo AsiaInfo pie pie fightand white in the world. The reporter learned that, at the end of the week (January 7th, 8) a number of Lenovo Leadsec and the company's employees have been waiting in front of the computer, pay attention to online "AsiaInfo chaos" report, continue to personally speak in the forum, to maintain their own party. Sina science channel free forum staged a lip gun outside of words.

Network Royal unwilling to swallow

October 27, 2005 AsiaInfo released in the third quarter of 2005 earnings, AsiaInfo group CEO Zhang Zhenqing announced: AsiaInfo future industry will focus on the telecommunications business and information security." Implication, the main business will be done outside subtraction.

In fact, as early as a few months ago, the Asia Pacific Group has begun to undertake a radical Business Association for Lenovo asiainfo. In early 2005, desktop business services were given free of charge. The same year the end of October, AsiaInfo will two years ago from the Pacific software company purchased, incorporated into the Lenovo AsiaInfo management HRM & BI business to 15 million yuan (about $1 million 850 thousand) and transferred to the software. In November 9th of the same year, announced under the Han consulting (Chinese) Co. Ltd. at a price of 25 million yuan in five years for resale to the company's management team. In addition, the e-government business assets, customers and sales orders to transfer all day long science and technology, present transaction involving funds there is no announcement, reporters from Lenovo AsiaInfo inside to understand the situation is "the amount is very low".

So far, the acquisition of Lenovo Lenovo IT services industry group in July 2004 - Lenovo AsiaInfo left only the financial and Lenovo Royal, other businesses have been cleared out.

The reason why the association to retain the royal network, not only because it belongs to a profitable business, more importantly, AsiaInfo want to strengthen its position in the telecommunications security market." An association network Royal high-level revealed: but this is the largest network of the United States of the greatest grief."

Lenovo imperial strength in the security firewall is quite strong, but in the field of security assessment is not strong, and this is precisely the telecommunications industry's highest demand for security products. July 2005 to August, the beginning of the Asia and Legend Holdings contact, want to associate with the Royal Green Network Technology (Legend Holdings is a shareholder of the green union Technology) to create a more powerful security products company.

But the core issue is not the price of the acquisition, but the dominant position of the new company. NSFocus Leadsec was unable to accept the annexation, its president Shen Jiye told reporters: "Leadsec his team to more than and 200 people, the Green League is about 300, the business income is almost the same, even if the two companies really want to mergers and acquisitions, will not change the operating direction of the Green League, will be dominated by the green league."

Has always been under the influence of a strong culture of the association is not willing to be willing to buy again. Coupled with the brothers to see the business group has been sold, net Royal management began to return to the idea of Meng Meng's Association, this idea is also rapidly spread in the network of imperial employees.

Seek regression Association

According to the relevant provisions of the state, to undertake the national, military and other sensitive projects of information security companies must be funded enterprises, and AsiaInfo is a foreign enterprise, Lenovo Group also has foreign ingredients. In order to meet this policy needs, the enterprise's information security industry is registered an unspoken rule: pure domestic background of "shell" companies, business ownership belongs to the company, and the business operating rights to the joint venture.

In May 2005 Lenovo Leadsec company parent company from Lenovo Group into Lenovo holdings, changes after the formation of the special attributes of Leadsec: in the framework of AsiaInfo holdings, Lenovo AsiaInfo is its wholly-owned subsidiary, and one of the Lenovo Leadsec just Lenovo AsiaInfo division; but Lenovo Leadsec is Lenovo holdings the subsidiary company. Lenovo and AsiaInfo just cooperation, business income to AsiaInfo group. In addition to Lenovo Leadsec, talent and many other companies are using similar techniques of information security management.

According to insiders, Yu Bing had advised Liu Chuanzhi: because there are security policy restrictions on the market, the network was originally included in the operation of the association is not appropriate to associate lenovo."

It is understood that Yu Bing and Ren Zengqiang from 2005 to start the two time to find Lenovo Group and Legend Holdings, called back to Lenovo, but ultimately did not reach a consensus, which is not known in the secret of the. Some people think that Lenovo will not make money by their business for 300 million yuan at the left now Lenovo AsiaInfo, will only make money business back, this will be a difficult thing for both. Lenovo is necessary for a side business to compete with others? The possibility of Lenovo direct repo network almost zero.

At this time in front of the other way before the Shu soldiers and Ren Zengqiang is out to set up a new company, the information security company, and then find Lenovo shares, so as to achieve the purpose of return to the association.

Pass any enhancement has registered a company called "new Leadsec" of the new company, the future of this company is very likely to be engaged in information security products. But in January 9th, reporters at the Beijing industry and Commerce Department did not find the "new Leadsec" registration information. AsiaInfo
