Rebirth of Cyber ​​Hegemony

"One billion dollars, is Chen Yu crazy?"

Bill grabbed his fist, and he felt something insulted by Chen Yu.

Just now he said that 100 million US dollars is a big number, but he did not expect that others would directly start with 1 billion US dollars.

certainly.

One billion dollars is an astronomical figure for many people, but it is not that big for Bill.

It's just not that big, but one billion US dollars is still a terrifying figure.

In particular, the direct operation of this item alone costs 1 billion US dollars, which is even greater.

And this operation is not an ordinary operation.

This is understandable if $1 billion is used for operating expenses for a year.

However, according to his previous familiarity with Huanyu Technology, Bill knew that the $1 billion would definitely be spent in a few days.

then.

This becomes a money-smashing game.

Does Bill lack this billion dollars?

Of course there is no shortage.

But does Bill Chen Yu have money?

Of course not.

Not only there is no, but it is far from there.

Bill can follow this one billion dollars now, so next time, he can follow?

Say it again.

Microsoft is not alone with Bill, nor is he alone.

Even if Bill is willing, some other shareholders are unwilling.

in addition.

Microsoft's core business has always been the operating system, and a series of businesses like word around the operating system.

And msn, to put it bluntly, this is entirely marginal business.

If it's for the operating system, maybe Bill can keep up.

But to spend $1 billion for msn, Bill really didn't have this idea.

"Bill, do you want us to follow?"

Steve asked weakly.

"You are the ceo, you decide."

Bill didn't know how to answer, and threw the question back to Steve.

"I want to follow, but the main reason is that we can't spend money in this way. To make it clear, Huanyu Technology has picked up a big bargain."

Although the msn business has developed very well, it has actually developed to the bottle shin.

The growth has increased, and the use of msn has also been used.

Even if they spend 1 billion US dollars, it is difficult for them to attract more registrations.

But on the other hand, WeChat is different.

WeChat is an emerging software, and it is also a global instant messaging.

He still has a lot of great potential to be tapped.

Huanyu Technology spent 1 billion U.S. dollars, and the effect obtained absolutely exceeded msn.

"Steve, you are right."

Bill nodded: "I think so too."

The two were a little embarrassed, but very helpless.

but.

Even more helpless than Microsoft is AOL.

icq is obviously the core business of AOL.

When the external media rumors that Huanyu Technology would spend another $1 billion, AOL was silent.

AOL's CEO is full of courage, yelling loudly at the company meeting, Lao Tzu will also spend 1 billion US dollars.

But……

What happens after the roar?

Microsoft paid $1 billion, but sorry, AOL couldn't.

It's not that I don't want to smash it, but it doesn't have the money to smash it.

After all.

AOL is only a portal site, and according to his name, AOL is still a portal site that only belongs to the United States. In terms of status, he is equivalent to the domestic Sina, or even worse than Sina, because there is also a Yahoo in front of AOL.

This is just a portal website. How much money do you think it can make?

Not to mention 1 billion US dollars, 100 million US dollars may not be obtained.

All right.

It can be taken, but if 100 million US dollars are used to spend money to play, they really don't have this ability.

If it is just this, it cannot explain the tragedy of AOL.

AOL is actually an Internet giant like Yahoo, and even they are earlier than Yahoo.

In the early days of the Internet, he was even the nose of the Internet in the United States and the world.

And it merged with Warner in 2000, and the market value reached a terrifying $350 billion. Well, that's a blow, the highest market value reached $160 billion. But just two years after the integration, AOL lost a huge $54 billion.

Not only that, in 2003, it also reached a loss of more than US$90 billion.

Yes.

You read that right.

These losses add up to a loss of more than 140 billion U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to a loss of several super companies.

Until now, the overall market value of AOL is less than 10 billion U.S. dollars.

In a few more years.

According to the historical process, in 2009, the market value of AOL will fall to 3 billion US dollars.

In 2016, AOL, like Yahoo, was eventually acquired by Verizon for US$4.4 billion.

Can you imagine what AOL's mood is now?

"Asshole, it's a shit."

"This guy used money to kill us."

"This is cheating, this is cheating."

AOL's ceo office, Arms roared again and again.

He cursed Huanyu Technology madly.

He even continued to curse on Weibo.

Yes.

This Weibo is the Weibo created by Huanyu Technology.

But Arms didn't care about it anymore.

He is now vomiting blood by Huanyu Technology.

One billion dollars, how do you let us play?

Whether the world is rich or not has the final say.

Can the world get whatever it wants with money?

Even later, Arms said on his Weibo that he was going to sue Huanyu Technology for the monopoly.

"I'm grass, Arms is crazy."

"Well, I saw that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is really crazy."

"It won't work if you are not crazy. If you are smashed like this by Huanyu Technology, I will be crazy if you change to me."

The crowd of netizens who watched the excitement were dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that the CEO of the dignified group would be driven crazy by Huanyu Technology.

only.

Who is to blame?

In the past, AOL used to spend money when it wanted to, and it also bought Warner for more than $100 billion.

But the result is a crazy prodigal.

A loss of tens of billions of dollars a year, and a loss of more than 100 billion dollars in two years.

Such a loss method, even if you are the world's most valuable company, cannot withstand such a consumption.

As for the monopoly of Huanyu Technology.

Unfortunately.

Huanyu Technology has indeed engaged in a lot of business, but there are really few businesses that have a monopoly.

Not to mention the instant messaging business.

To be reasonable, the number of registered icq now exceeds that of WeChat. Can this be considered a monopoly?

"At one time, AOL was the seventh largest company in the world, and its market capitalization was the sum of the GDPs of the two major countries of Mexico and Pakistan. But I didn't expect it to fall to the point it is today."

"Yes, there are still some people who miss AOL, his mailbox, his chat room, his instant messaging..."

"Oh, an era is about to pass."

I don't know how, seeing the way AOL is now, a lot of netizens sighed again and again.

It's just that in the Internet market, you only see newcomers laughing, but old ones crying.

The emotion is only temporary.

Soon, they will forget AOL, icq, and the representative of the "new economy" in the United States.

As for why I forgot so quickly.

That is.

At this moment, everyone is thinking about him, how should he divide the WeChat's 1 billion dollar money-making activity?
