Chapter 1128

"One billion dollars. Is this guy Chen Yu crazy?"

Bill clenched his fist. He felt that some were insulted by Chen Yu.

Just now he said that $100 million was a big figure, but he didn't expect others to start with $1 billion directly.

of course.

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

But although it is not big, $1 billion is still a terrible figure.

In particular, the direct operation alone is $1 billion, which is even greater.

And this operation is not an ordinary operation.

It is understandable if $1 billion is used for operating expenses for one year.

However, according to the previously familiar routine of Huanyu technology, Bill knew that this $1 billion would definitely be smashed in a few days.

therefore.

This becomes a money throwing game.

Is Bill short of the $1 billion?

Of course not.

But does Bill have Chen Yu's money?

Of course not.

Not only no, but far from it.

Bill can pay this $1 billion now. What about next time?

Besides.

Bill doesn't own Microsoft alone, and he doesn't have his word.

Even if Bill is willing, some other shareholders are not willing.

In addition.

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

And MSN, to put it mildly, this is completely edge business.

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

But bill really didn't think of spending $1 billion for MSN.

"Bill, do you want us to talk to you?"

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, but the main thing is that we can't spend money in vain. It's clear that Huanyu technology has picked up a big bargain."

Although MSN business has developed very well, it has actually developed to bottle shank.

The number of users who should use MSN has increased, and so has the number of users who should use MSN.

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

But wechat is different.

Wechat is an emerging software and a global instant messaging.

He still has great potential to tap.

Huanyu technology spent $1 billion, and the effect is definitely better than MSN.

"Steve, you're right."

Bill nodded, "I think so, too."

They were a little embarrassed, but they were very helpless.

however.

What is more helpless than Microsoft is AOL.

ICQ is clearly AOL's core business.

AOL was silent after the external media rumored that Huanyu technology would spend another $1 billion.

AOL CEO is full of courage. He yelled loudly at the company meeting. I also want to spend $1 billion.

But

After the roar?

Microsoft can hit $1 billion, but sorry, AOL can't.

Not that I don't want to smash, but that I don't have the money.

After all.

AOL is just a portal website, and according to his name, AOL is also a portal website only belonging to the United States. In terms of status, he is equivalent to Sina in China, or even worse than Sina, because there is a Yahoo in front of AOL.

This is just a portal. How much do you think he can make?

Not to mention $1 billion, you may not get $100 million.

ok

They can get it, but they really don't have the ability to spend $100 million on money.

If only this, it can not explain the tragedy of AOL.

AOL is actually the same Internet giant as Yahoo, even earlier than Yahoo.

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

And merged with Warner in 2000, the market value reached a terrible $350 billion. Well, it's blowing. The maximum market value reached $160 billion. But just two years after the integration, AOL lost $54 billion.

This was not only in 2003, but also a loss of more than $90 billion.

yes.

You're right.

These losses add up to a loss of more than $140 billion, equivalent to a loss of several super companies.

Until now, AOL's overall market value is less than $10 billion.

In a few years.

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

In 2016, AOL, like Yahoo, was finally acquired by Verizon at a price of $4.4 billion.

Can you imagine what AOL is feeling now?

"Son of a bitch, this dog day."

"This guy is taking money to kill us."

"This is cheating, this is cheating."

AOL CEO Office, armes roared again and again.

He shouted wildly at Huanyu technology.

Even, he kept yelling on his microblog.

yes.

This microblog is the microblog made by Huanyu technology.

But armes doesn't care.

He is now vomiting blood because of Huanyu technology.

One billion dollars, how do you let us play?

The world is not rich people say.

Can the world get everything it wants with money?

Even later, armes said on his microblog that he was ready to sue Huanyu technology monopoly.

"My grass, armes is crazy."

"Well, I see. It's really crazy."

"I can't be crazy. I'm crazy if I'm smashed by Huanyu technology."

A crowd of onlookers were stunned.

They didn't expect that the CEO of great group was driven crazy by Huanyu technology.

Just.

Who is to blame?

In the past, AOL also threw money if it wanted to, and bought warner for more than $100 billion.

But the result is a crazy loser.

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

Even if you are the company with the largest market value in the world, you can't afford such consumption.

As for Huanyu technology monopoly.

Unfortunately.

Huanyu technology has indeed engaged in a lot of business, but there is really no monopoly in several businesses.

Not to mention instant messaging.

It makes sense that now the number of ICQ registrants exceeds that of wechat, which can also be regarded as a monopoly?

"AOL was once the seventh largest company in the world, and its market value was the sum of the GDP of Mexico and Pakistan railway. But I didn't expect it to be like this today."

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

"Alas, an era is about to pass."

I don't know how, seeing the appearance of AOL today, a group of netizens sighed again and again.

Only in the Internet market, you can only see new people laughing, but you can't hear old people crying.

Feeling is only temporary.

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

As for why I forgot so quickly.

That's it.

At the moment, everyone is thinking about how he should share wechat's $1 billion money throwing activity?
