IBM (PC Division)

IBM has continually kept the United States abreast of all modern technology and computer science. Back in the day, the company’s focus was geared toward economic machine production than computer development. IBM has something of colorful history, to put it mildly. 2004 saw Lenovo purchase IBM’s PC wing for $1.75 billion. Lenovo’s former CEO, Chuanzhi Liu, excitedly announced his business’ upgrade to multinational status with the joining of IBM. Then there was Sam Palmisano, the CEO of IBM, who stated that Liu’s announcement assured his company’s ability to stay abreast of the changing tides within the world of information technology.

Legendary Entertainment Group

Following the purchase of AMC by Dalian Wanda Group and their combined prominence within the film sector, it realized that it was time to purchase a film studio in 2016. Legendary Entertainment Group handed the reins over to the China-based multinational in an acquisition that went for $3.5 billion. During this process, Dalian Wanda Group looked to integrate it within its already beefy portfolio. Things didn’t pan out that way, however, as it finally came to the conclusion of remaining the same. It is now 2020 – how well has LEG performed since all these changes? Following the purchase, we have seen classics such as Pacific Rim: Uprising, Skyscraper!, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and a few other blockbuster hits.
