王振堂

在宏碁宣布收购美国个人电脑制造商Gateway一周之后，该公司首席执行官王振堂（WangJen-tang）透露，他的公司有意进行另一笔交易。

Wang Jen-tang , Acer chief executive , has revealed his company 's interest in another deal one week after announcing the acquisition of Gateway , the US personal computer maker .

王振堂（WangJen-tang）的语速非常缓慢，有足够时间考虑自己想说些什么。而且，他的语调无比温和。

Wang Jen-tang speaks at a pace slow enough to allow him to ponder over what he wants to say and he is as soft spoken as it gets .

在临时首席执行官王振堂（jtwang）领导下，宏看来有犯下一个更大错误的危险。

Acer looks in danger of making a much bigger mistake under interim chief executive JT Wang .

不过最近iPad（平板电脑）和其他一些新变数对PC市场产生了巨大的影响，王振堂表示。

But more recently the iPad [ tablet computer ] and other new form factors have had a very big impact on the PC market , Mr Wang said .

现在，他们的运营正一天比一天好。宏碁首席执行官王振堂（WangJen-tang）指出：所以，作为一个竞争者，他们正处于上升曲线。

Now their operations are becoming stronger by the day , says Wang Jen-tang , Acer chief executive . So , as a competitor , they are on an upside curve .

王振堂试图进一步安抚投资者的忧虑。他向投资者保证，根据毕马威（KPMG）的专业意见，在Gateway交易中，虽然商誉价值6亿美元，但宏碁并不面临冲减风险。

Mr Wang seeks to further calm investor concerns by assuring them that , according to a professional opinion from KPMG , Acer faces little risk of a write-off , despite more than $ 600m in goodwill from the Gateway deal .

宏碁董事长王振堂（JTWang）在北京表示，外形超薄、电池续航时间超过8小时的AspireTimeline系列轻巧型笔记本，售价将不到1000美元，而多数类似产品的售价约为2000美元。

JT Wang , Acer 's chairman , said in Beijing that the Aspire Timeline , a lightweight notebook with a slim profile and more than eight hours of battery life , would sell for less than $ 1,000 , compared with about $ 2,000 for most similar products .

我们必须一步步来，王振堂表示。

We have to do it step-by-step , Mr Wang said .

但宏碁董事长王振堂对这些优惠措施却有较为积极的评价。

Acer Chairman J.T. Wang had a more positive appraisal .

该公司主席王振堂（T.Wang）表示，由于全球经济危机，向较廉价产品转移是不可避免的。

T. Wang , chairman , said the shift to cheaper products was inevitable given the global economic crisis .

宏董事长王振堂表示，该公司将要物色的下一个收购目标可能在中国大陆。

Mr Wang has said that the next acquisition target the company would look at might be in china .

王振堂说，传统个人电脑的末日正在逼近。据他的估计，触屏电脑在三年后将成为主流。

Mr. Wang said that the death of the traditional PC is fast approaching , with touch-screen computers becoming the norm in three years , by his estimate .

王振堂声称，在评估中，没有任何需要避讳的东西，甚至也会考虑宏品牌从一些特定产品段和特定地理市场消失。

Mr Wang claims that , in this review , nothing is taboo , not even the idea that the Acer brand could disappear from certain product segments or certain geographical markets .

王振堂称，这个事实就是宏碁在美国的品牌认知度很低，而这可能需要高达1亿美元的巨资才能有所改善。即便这样，结果也并不确定。

The reason is the company 's weak brand recognition in the US , which , argues Mr Wang , would take up to $ 100m to improve , with no certain results .

王振堂表示，新宏碁会继续把个人电脑作为核心业务，但会将更多精力投向智能手机和平板电脑业务的拓展，同时提升面向企业的销量。

The new Acer , Mr Wang said , would keep PCs as its core business but would put more effort into expanding its smartphone and tablet businesses , as well as increasing corporate sales .

然而随着西方经济增长乏力以及平板电脑蚕食个人电脑市场，王振堂表示无法实现目标的压力变得太大，在公司内造成了摩擦。

But , with lacklustre economic growth in the west and tablets taking a bite out of the PC market , the pressure of not meeting the target was getting too high and created friction within the company , Mr Wang said .

但王振堂表示，他希望此笔交易将在1年内帮助宏碁建立一项收入为60亿至70亿美元的美国业务，并在2年内将其美国业务的利润率提升至3%。

But Mr Wang said he expected the deal to help Acer build a US business with $ 6bn - $ 7bn in revenues within a year and raise margins at the company 's notoriously unprofitable US operations to up to 3 per cent within two years .
