Silicon Valley

Global online and icq portals have taken over 90% of the portal's market share, and the monopoly is too fierce, which is not allowed by the US government.

In this anti-monopoly investigation, the most likely to be split and sold is "Global Online"!

That being the case, then sell Global Online.

Before selling Global Online, though, Henry decided to spin off Twitter first.

Henry then told everyone what he meant, and the major shareholders of Global Online also understood that once the anti-monopoly investigation was over, Global Online could not escape, and the government would definitely ask Henry to sell Global Online!

However, these major shareholders of Global Online do not want to spin off Twitter. After all, Global Online owns Twitter, the market value will be much higher, and it is also good for the development of Global Online!

Therefore, when they heard that Henry was going to spin off Twitter, their expressions suddenly became unnatural, and some people objected on the spot: "Global online sales can be sold, but Twitter cannot be separated!!!"

Then, many shareholders echoed the road.

"Yes, you can sell Global Online, but you can't spin off Twitter."

"Twitter is becoming more and more important. It is the core asset of global online, and it must not be split!"

"Mr. Williams, you can't lose everyone's interests for your own interests!"

"yes!"

"..."

Hearing their words, Henry had a faint anger on his face, but he endured it!

According to the requirements of US monopoly law, Henry will sell his shares, and these small shareholders will also hold shares of Global Online, so they do not want Henry to split Twitter. However, they don't think about who is the creator of Twitter!

Fortunately, Henry had someone apply for a patent. And patents belong to their own personal, rather than global online.

"Okay, then don't split Twitter!" Henry said lightly. "However, the idea of ​​Twitter is what I thought, and even the patent rights are in my hands. Global Online will pay me a patent fee every year from now on!"

The shareholders of Global Online were quite happy when they heard the previous sentence. However, Henry's last sentence made everyone very upset, but there was nothing he could do.

Jonathan Jackson asked, "Mr. Williams, to whom are you going to sell the company?"

"Hmph, contact AOL to see if they want it!" Henry's face showed a strange smile.

"Okay!" Jonathan Jackson nodded. "They must be very willing to buy Global Online. But AOL may have no money!"

"There will be money..." Henry laughed. "Hehe, there will be banks that will lend them money! In fact, they only need to buy my shares. I don't think other shareholders seem willing to sell their shares!"

After Henry finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the large and small shareholders of Global Online, then paused and continued: "I will cash out a portion of the shares in the stock market. Then I will sell the remaining shares to AOL! Global Online's market value is two More than 100 billion US dollars, I currently hold 67.5% of the shares, and I plan to cash out 17.5% in the stock market. Then there is still 50%, and they only need to use another 100 billion US dollars to buy my shares! AOL is really If you can't get the money, you can buy it together with other people. I don't care. Of course..." Henry smiled, "If the major shareholders here are also interested, I can also sell it to you! If you can eat me in one bite You can also sell all the shares in your hand!"

As soon as Henry's words were finished, some of these people were already moved.

The development of Global Online is good, and the market value is getting higher and higher.

"Mr. Williams. I'm going to buy..."

Someone immediately said urgently, but Henry interrupted with a smile, "The person who wants to buy my shares find Jonathan Jackson, wait for him to count the number, and then do a deal together!"

"Well, okay!" said the man, nodding his head.

The meeting is not over yet, at this time, the US government has announced that it will conduct an antitrust investigation of the Williams network.

Immediately, there was an uproar in the media.

Outside the conference room, a female secretary hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, hurriedly ran to Henry, bent over and whispered in his ear: "Chairman, it's not good, the US government has just announced that it will launch a countermeasure against the Williams network. Monopoly investigation!"

Henry said lightly: "I see, you go out!"

"Yes!"

The female secretary walked out, and Henry smiled calmly and said to everyone: "My secretary just told me that the US government has officially announced that it will conduct an anti-monopoly investigation against us! All right, everyone, go back! Please a good lawyer and prepare to file a lawsuit! "

"Yes!!!"

Nearly a thousand people around stood up, and then walked out of the conference room one by one!

The U.S. government's antitrust investigation of Williams Network is not a global online company, but a number of Internet companies including Nicholas Group, Isearch and so on. Henry has only made arrangements for Global Online at present. If other companies have not made arrangements, it does not mean that they are safe. He must hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit, otherwise the company will be sold. How can Henry play!

Nicholas International e-commerce is also suspected of being a monopoly, but it is far less powerful than global online, only accounting for about 70% of the market, but it is also likely to be split and sold.

In addition, icq company is also suspected of monopoly. However, there are still many instant messaging software, such as Microsoft MSN-messenger, AOL IM and so on.

Isearch search is basically a monopoly, but its monopoly depends on the global online.

Once Global Online is sold, and does not cooperate with Isearch, then there is no Isearch monopoly!

However, if Global Online does not have the support of Isearch, I am afraid its market share will be greatly reduced.

Without Google's support, Yahoo's results plummeted, especially when Google launched its own website search homepage, Yahoo's traffic plummeted, and then declined!

At present, Isearch only provides search services for other websites, and does not have its own website search homepage!

The reason why Henry didn't open the homepage of this search website is because he feels it is unnecessary. After all, Global Online is his own, and it doesn't make sense to grab its traffic;

Henry wants to sell Global Online to AOL, which is actually cheating it!

AOL spends a lot of money to buy global online, and then the traffic is taken away by Isearch, isn't it a loss? The existence of Google makes Yahoo slump, and Isearch can make the world online like Yahoo...  

...

The antitrust investigation into the Williams Network quickly spread throughout the United States.

On the same day, the market value of the Internet companies under Henry's name all decreased, which in turn caused the stock price of the entire Internet concept stock to plummet!

The market value of Global Online has dropped from $235 billion to $210 billion, and $25 billion has evaporated all of a sudden! Henry was suddenly taken aback, the Internet bubble didn't burst at this time, brother hasn't cashed in and made a lot of money!
