People who use electronic things like laptops and mobile phones will be well aware of the Lenovo brand.
But let me tell those who do not know this brand that "Lenovo Group Ltd.", also known as "Lenovo PC International", is a Chinese multinational company.
Which usually designs and sells many products, such as personal computers, tablets, smartphones, smart TVs, and electronic storage devices.
And friends Lenovo has been the world's largest PC vendor according to the sales unit since 2013, and in today's time it works in more than 60 countries and sells its products in about 160 countries.
And the name of the founder of this company is Liu Chuanzhi. Who started this company after a lot of conflicts and carried it to the summit.
Even in the early stages, they used to carry personal computers on their bicycles to deliver.
And this person who bought a PC company of a big company like IBM used to sit in the rear line, as an agent of IBM, sometimes wearing the old suit of his father.
So let's go to the Lenovo brand's Inspirational Journey from the beginning.
Friends start the story from 1944 when Liu Chuanzhi was born at the place of Zhejiang in China near Shanghai.
After completing his schooling and graduation, he passed all the examinations to become a military pilot, but on recruitment, he was reclaimed as saying that he was not fit to work in the military.
After that Liu thought of doing computer-related studies and then he got admission in GDian University. Though his subjects of graduation were such that they could not find their favorite section here and had to work with radar studies.
Although he got a good chance to know the computer here.
Later in 1970, he did CAS in the China Academy of Science. But while working there, he was not happy about his salary. They used to meet just 100 young men every month. And friends should tell that 1 young Indian is equal to about 9.75 rupees.
Disturbed by his low salary, Liu, together with 10 people on November 1, 1984, opened a small company and for this, he had borrowed some funds from his first company. And the name of this company was Liu "Legend".
Although the company had to face a lot of funding for funding in the early days because there was no support from China's government for those days.
They tried to import televisions in this difficult situation, but they also failed.
And then extended the hand in the digital watch market, but they could not work.
In fact, nobody in the team of 10 people had much knowledge of the business. But Liu learns from mistakes and keep moving along with them as well.
And then in 1985, Legend developed a circuit board used in computer, which was successful in selling it to IBM and it was the first success of Liu's company.
In 1988, Liu Chuanzhi opened another office of his company in Hong Kong and shifted there with a total of 5 employees.
Through this company, they are Hewlett Packard whom we know as HP and work to distribute Toshiba's computer.
And to save money in this work, he distributes the computer with himself and his friends on the ......... bicycle, and on foot.
And some like this quickly brought their hard work and legend became China's largest "computer distribution network".
In 1980, the company started selling and selling its own computer under the legend brand name. And then gradually the company became famous in China.
It was listed in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1994. And this time its finance had reached about 30 million US dollars. And the company had made about 1 million PCs.
In 1997, Legend was recognized as China's "Best Selling Computer Brand" ...... by that time it had surpassed China's market leader IBM.
In 2000, Legend sold more than 10 million units of a computer named Taipei, and this computer became China's best selling computer.
In 2002, the company started to build mobile phones.
And again in 2003, Liu changed his company name from "Legend Computer to Limited" to "Lenovo Group Ltd.", to compete with the World Famous brand like Dell. And this year, he spent 200 million yuan for his branding.
In 2006, Lenovo made about $ 1 billion to buy the Windows operating system. Earlier in China, most computers used to mix without os.
And the identity of Lenovo in India grew when the Tamil Nadu government had ordered 1 million laptops in bulk in 2012.
And 100 million units of Lenovo laptop's most Famous Series Thinkpad were sold by 2015.
So friends were the story of the Lenovo brand that started with 10 people and today more than 60 thousand people work in this company.
And according to its revenues 2016 figures is about 43 billion US dollars.
