In an interview with Fortune, Yuanqing Yang says that his company seeks to replicate its ThinkPad success with Motorola. Fresh from signing a $2.91 billion deal with Larry Page to acquire Google’s Motorola unit, Lenovo CEO Yuanqing Yang spoke to Motorola employees for 45 minutes at the latter company’s headquarters outside of Chicago on Thursday. Immediately after that meeting, Yang discussed the deal and Lenovo’s plans to compete in the smartphone market with Fortune. The following is an edited transcript of that conversation.
