????據知情人士透露，聯想（Lenovo）與IBM就聯想以數十億美元收購IBM部分服務器業務的交易談判已經破裂。

????知情人士稱，盡管雙方的談判可能會再度恢復，但目前已因為價格問題而宣告結束。

????目前，聯想和IBM的發言人都未就上述傳聞置評。

????上個月，有關雙方交易談判的傳聞開始出現在各大媒體，而且這個消息也得到了《財富》雜志（Fortune）的證實。彭博社（Bloomberg）認為，IBM準備賣給聯想的的x86服務器業務價值應該在在25億美元到45億美元之間。其它一些媒體則聲稱，IBM尋求的交易價格為60億美元。據稱，聯想拒絕了這個價格。IBM計劃出售的這項業務每年產生的銷售額接近50億美元，約占IBM服務器總營收的三分之一。

????聯想目前是僅次于惠普（HP）的全球第二大電腦制造商，一直希望能夠支持自身服務器業務的發展。雖然x86服務器目前仍是低端服務器業務，但它可以幫助聯想與惠普和戴爾（Dell）展開競爭。

????2005年，聯想收購了IBM的PC業務。最近幾年中，聯想的增長速度一直快于競爭對手。據研究機構互聯網數據中心（IDC）的報告稱，尤其是在最近一個季度，全球PC銷量遭遇行業史上最大幅度的下滑，聯想是其中唯一一家穩住了陣腳的大制造商。目前，聯想也向智能手機和平板電腦市場吹響了進軍的號角。（財富中文網）

????Negotiations between Lenovo and IBM over a multi-billion dollar deal under which Lenovo would acquire parts of IBM's server business have broken down, according to people familiar with the situation.

????While the discussions could resume, they were halted over valuation concerns, according to a person familiar with the talks.

????Spokespeople for Lenovo and IBM (IBM) declined to comment.

????News of the negotiations surfaced last month in various publications and were confirmed byFortune. Bloomberg put the value of the potential deal, which would cover IBM's sale of its so-called x86 server business, at between $2.5 billion and $4.5 billion. Others suggested IBM was seeking as much as $6 billion. Lenovo is said to have balked at the price tag for the business, which generates close to $5 billion in sales, or about a third of IBM's overall server revenue, according to estimates.

????Lenovo, the world's No. 2 computer maker behind HP (HPQ), has been seeking to bolster its server business. The x86 servers, which represent the lower end of the server business, would allow Lenovo to compete more effectively with HP and Dell (DELL).

????Lenovo, which in 2005 bought IBM's PC business, has been growing faster than rivals for the last few years. In the most recent quarter, which saw the worst decline in PC sales in the industry's history, Lenovo was the only one of the major computer makers to hold its ground, according to research firm IDC. The company has also expanded into smartphones and tablets.
